Correspondence Of TIE n. Y. Tribune.
BURLINGTON, Sept. |, 1851.
The GubeInatoJial canvess in Iowa is begun. Last
night Benjamin NJ. Sauuels, the nominee of the Pro.
Slavery Democracy, delivered bimsef with slight as
sisance from the digned Mayor Of burlington, OF his
maiden effort, and fired the first gun-a sort Of pop
gun it is tIue-of the campaign. To-day Judge Lowe
viii speak at Pennington, in Van Buren, County, and
subsequently, until the election, the candidates will
speak together throughout the southern portions of
the State. Appointments already made aud pub
i.hed for the whole intervening time. The only cause
of roget the Republicans aware Of at present is,
tha the time is too short TO allow the candidates to 60
over the wbele State before the election They have
the utmost confidence in the ability and eioquence,
the skill and tact Of Judge Lowe, and do not doubt
that these Influences combined with the noble cause
in which they about to be eXerted will arouse The
whole people TO their duty foil vote, aud by
that means place the Republican triumph beyond
peTadventure.
But pen this more particularly to indicate so far
may safely be done at present, the argument, or
l,rtt,aN, rather. Of argument, by which the Rabbi
Samucls expects to delude son4e into hls support.
You should know, firstly, that this gentleman is a
resident of Dubuque, par of the State in which bis
party took ground, almost or quite unanimously,
against the adoption Of the Constitution lstely sub
mit,cd to the people. and by them approved. 10 this
section however, large proportion Of the more intel
lgent Of the party voted, ana some wrote in favor of
it. Upon these individuals, the men Of the north, it
o
probable that this feeling induced the nomination OF
Rabbi Samuels. Judge Mason, late Commissioner of
Patents, came near being nominated, only wanting,
on ballot, five votes Of majority Judge Mason,
beside being mar OF infinitely more ability than
Samucls, docs not happes 10 BE- 80 mHcL "a Northern
nan with Southern principles Is either Douglas,
Pierce OF Buchanan, or the Iaass OF degenerate
hunheys with which Iowa a. well as New York is
cursed. OF course, he could rot be nominated; nor
could our big neighbor Edward Johnston Of Lee, nor
Banker Coobaugh OF Des Mones, secure
nomination, for both advocated the adoption
of the new Constitution, and Johnston, besides,
is not very hearty supporter OF tie present VI
late Administration outrages in karsas.
On all these matters, Rabbi Semue!s Is sound"
Being one!of the Chivslry" himself of course ne be-
leyes niggers' have no rights which the white man
siituiicn lie thinks Buchanan e demi-goa, and
Pierce at least a saint. These reasons, or rather
these opinions quite weighty enough to
secure the nomination Of the gentleman over others
who Were anxious for the honor who enjoy much
wider reputation, and possess far higher merits than
the Pro- Slavery choice.
Now let us see how the Rabbi opens the bal. After
brief apology for the huskiness OF his voice-poor
fellow after feeding Locoioco bu.ks all his Life,
how could Lis voice be otherwise he spoke substaa
tally as follows On the subject of Slavery in tne
SaS, the people of the Free States had nothing to
DO with it, In The Territories, in Kansas be believed
the people there should b. permitted 10 decide the
matter pro or COL, for themselves. The citizens Of
lowe had TO right to NEEDLE with it either
on one side the other. lie was in favor,
he S0la-thcuGh how he could be & Locofoco can
dldate and say II, is rather puzzliug-oi
allow ms every bona Ede resident of Kansas to vote at
elections TO be held there il relation 20 the institution
OF slavery or IN the election Of officers and would
beat back from the polls even with sword and bay-
opet, both the rutian from Missouri and the ruff IN
sent there by the New England Emgrart. Aid Society,"
lie was ID favor OF supporting anu enforcing the laws
IL Kansas. The Rabbi here went of into cutie /.
sophomorkh rhapsody upon the duty OF obeyipg the
laws and submitting 10 the decisions OF the judges
which would have been exceedingly interesting trem a
boy oi hfeen.l From al which sayings you will
gather that Rabbi Samues ready u 70 as far IN hi.

Aichison himself.
From National matters, he came down 10 State A.
fairs If elected, he would eAdeayor TO nd the Con-
suop of several very obnoxious not 10 say borribIe
features He should urge the striking out of the clause
which, be said, permitted negroes 10 testify in our
courts. lie was exceedingly outraged at the idea
that any could suppose u negro would
