hereabouts.
Governor Lowe and his opponent address
the people here to-day, for the last time to-
gethcr. Thus far the appointments have
been togethor-hcrsaftcr their courses and
their appointments differ, as reference TO
their published programmes will show.
The discussions, thus far, have been con-
manner. venture to say that never was
there canvass conducted more harmoni-
ou.ly. The two candidates occupy seats
side by >idc At the table, and frequently
sleep together, and there has not, thus Gar,
been discordant word or ungcntlemanly
epithct expressed by either respecting the
other, This say in Justice to both candi-
dates. The best Of feeling is manifested by
the candidates towards each other, and Mr.
>amnels has so far partaken Of the ai.aost
aaiC,fsai f,.liag, that Judge Lowe is very
good, and every way worthy and homes,
man, that he has pledged himself to vote for
lam for the next Governor

III explains this To those South who have
seen his Northern speech, by stating that
Banks are not needed In his section Of coun-
try. f.e, in the interior, where the PEG
pie all feel and express the want of home
currency where they daily sustain los,
through the failure Of far distant banks, the
bills Of which are forced upon the people oi
this section by Hem, Williams 4 Co, Dem
ccratic brokers here, Mr.. Samuel. is not 80
particularly opposed to Banks, but says lac
would sign bill for what was in his opin-
ion, a .jaiic,ous Bank Law Mark il, then,
that II the people Of Iowa wish any inn
prosement in the currency Of the State,
they will elect Republican Governor aud
Legislature,
In the Democratic counties through which
the, have passed, the principal subject dis
GUESSED wa> the new Constitution, and the
questions involved therein. Notwithstand-

notwithstanding this Constitution is adopt
ed by t.e people, and u their instrument, he
: daily nphrald,ng the Sovereign People Of
Iowa, because they have not sacrificed their
principles and voted against this new Con-
stitutlon. lie tells them that under this
odcus instrument, which was gotten up by
Republicans, passed by Republicans, and now
forced upon the people and adopted by Re-
publicans, land mi-led Democrats,) the
State of Iowa is thrown open for the recep-
tion 81 all the cut threats, robbers and muir
dcrers of the world-that man can commit
murder m Missouri, and come over into
Iowa with his hands reeking in the blood II
the innocent man, woman or child he has
murtlered-that be can nj once demand
trial by jury, and that this State, having no
jurisdiction over an act committed in anotl,-
CT State, will discharge him, and thus the
murderer : cleared! Did you ever hear
Of such an arrangement Now look 1t sec

by jury, when hi- life and liberty are nj
,take--sees little Gully being educated by
the common sehool money, and bewails the
condition Of the disgraeed whites who must
needs be- educated IN the same school. To
cap the climax, and express his deepest feel
ines upon the subject, he says, as dearly as
he loves his little ones, he .wouli rather
ieliow them to the grave than have them
educated in the same school with black
children = Yet when child he associated
with black children, during all his youth
with h,s fathers slaves and he is now in
favor Of the extension 81 that peculiar do
nestle institution where the blacks and
whites are brought into closer contact with
each other than anywhere else
