In his speech q Keokuk, Mr.. Samuell
made pathetic appeal 10 his hearers "a
oppose that featured the Constellation which
regulates Schools md School Lands. HI
pr0tslted solemnly against it, because il
contemplatee Amalgamaaion; the mixing 81
whites and blacks II the sane schools
That is the unkindest cut Of ill. Il d thrust
ing the knife TO the heart of his own politi-
cal friends. Prior to the late election, il
was shown BY Judge johnson, that this fea-
ture Of the Constitution was introduced BY
Judge Hall, and roted for By euesy Demo
cratic member, while it was opposed to the
last, BY several Of the strongest anti slavery
men in that body. Here is what Judge
johnson said about:
81 shall leave to Judge Hall, who has yet
the main features of this part Of the New
Constitution. The history Of this PROPOSE
ton, to which many have taken exceptions
under the impression that it would induce
colored children into our common schools,
is this-it was drawn up and presented BY
Judge Hall, and Was voted for BY every
Democrat present Clark, Of Henry, and
Wilson, of Jefferson, both Republican lead
ers, and both extremely radical in their po-
litical views, bitterly opposing it at every
step. This is the political history Of the
proposition-so that If any body toas in
tdror Of sending negroes and nauldttOes to
our free schools they must haze been the
Democratic members Of the convention"
There, Mr.. Samuels, pitch into these ras-
cally Democrats who, according to johnson,
carried through this School feature of the
New Constitution. johnson and Hall must
stand the FIRE. All the Republicans have to
do, is 70 point to this deliberate statement
Of Judge johnson, made with Q full knowl-
edge of the facts. A pretty business, this,
truly-a Democratic candidate for Govern
or, going around abusing his own political
friends, ON account of that particular feature
of the New Constitution, the adoption Of
which they regard as one Of their peculiar tri-
umphs. 1t is none of our fight, and we have
no disposition to Interfere; butt strikes US
that Mr.. Samuels has chosen rather an un-
fortunate method of commencing himself to
Hall, johnson & Co.
Nor is this all, or the worst of the case.
Every shot fred at this School feature OF
the Cop1fitutlon, takes Mr.. GlLLAsPY-
(s'honestY George" as he is ironically called
by one OF his own friends) between wind
and water; and as George is man of great
weight, shot of that character, must needs
prove fatal. Here is the vote on that feature
of the Constitution
Yeas-Springer, Ayres, Edwards, Ellis,
Emerson, Gibson, GILLASPY, Cover, Hall,
Harris, Hellingsworth, Johnston, Marvin,
Palmer, Parvin, Patterson, Peterson, Price,
SSSseley, stif, solomon, Todhunter, and
Nays-Bunker, Clark, of Henry, Clarke,
of johnson, Gray, Traer, Wilson, Winches-
ter and Young. N - IA
Every Democrat present, it is seen, voted
for Halls School feature of the New Con-
stitution; sshonest George" among them.
The votes against it, were all given by
Republicans! Here is pretty fix for a
Gubernatorial nominee; who relies upon
his hostility to this article, as his trump
card, is his s'right bower" We can imagine
Mr.. Samuels addressing Des Moines audi
ence. He launches out pathetically on this
point. Ayast there, says Hall, that is mig
work you are denouncing. He goes to
Wapello. In the midst of his TRADE, Gil.
laspy rises, full Of wrath, to defend himself
against this attack upon his vote. There
is the record. There is no retreat. Re.
publicans cry out, 'pitch in" Mr.. Samuels
it is none Of our fight. Just convince The
people that that is mcastrous feature OF
the New Constitution, and Mr.. Gillaspy is
done for. ...s. a.s.4...
! 1t strikes US That Samuels needs an advi-
sorry committee forthwith. At the presen,
rate, he is doing infinitely more execution in
his own ranks than in ours.-IOUd Cit
