A Correspondent of the Dubuque Re
publican, writing from Springfield, Ill.,,
says -
"The event of the present week has
been in the annual meeting of the "Illi-
nois State Homeopathic Medical Associ-
alton" This Society convened in the
basement of the M. Z. Church, in this
city, on the 18th inst, and the meeting
was quite largely attended. A finer APP
p%earing body of men I never have seen
assembled together, and a most interest
ing time obtained. The several standing
Commute es made their annual reports,
presenting papers marked by a high
scientific tone, and evincing a degree CT
industry and literary taste, rarely to be
seen in similar Associations. The Soci-
ETY. took decided steps in the direction of
establishing a Western Medical Journal,
and appointed a committee to carry the
matter into effect during the recess of the
Association. Iowa is to furnish one of
the Editors of the proposed Journal, |

parlor, or in the church, they are unox-
ceptionable, as the ladies' would say. Al
though, owing to the scarcity of BARRIERS,
and their W great natural advantages
in this way, moustaches, COATES and
whlskers abound yet a preponderance of
brains over these outside accomplish
ments is made a test of membership.
Scenery Of Cedar FaUs.--As a roman
tic place, Cedar Falls, to those ladies'
fond of the romantic, shows great advant-
ages. The beautiful Cedar, with its wa
ter-fall passes through the town, and in
the summer season, beneath the shades
of the overhanging trees, lovers may
sigh out their mutual vows, or tley may
wander into the beautiful groves, and re-
gale themselves on the luscious wild plum
and crab apples, which abound.
The Bachelors of Cedar Falls wish il
to be known that they are by no means
opposed to changing their state of single
blessedness, and that ladies of education
and accomplishments, may, if so disposed,
meet with good offers. New England
school mistresses are warned, however,
that the very longest term they will be
permitted to teach in Cedar Falls will be
six months-in a single state. 1t is to
be hoped that the ladies who may see
this article will take pity on these bachel-
ors, lest in their lonely condition they
may be forced, like the Romans of old, to
make an Eruption into the country of the
Sabines, and take to themselves wives by
force.
All communications addressed to S. S.
Brown, Secretary of Bachelors Club,
Cedar Falls, Iowa, from the ladies, will be
read with the most careful attention, and
promptly answered.

Republican State Nominations.
1- We place at the head of IL col

1S We place at the head of our col
umns to-day. the names of the candidates
nominated by the Republican convention
held at Iowa City on the e2l inst, of
whose proceedings a report viii be found
in another column. The convention ex-
hibited more than the ordinary amount
of unanimity and good feeling, in strik-
ing contrast with that of the Black Dem
ccracy, holden on the Goth. We are not
acquainted with the qualifications or fit
hess of either Of these gentlemen for the
Offices for which they have been nomina-
ted, but coming to us endorsed so unani.
mously as they are, by a convention as
respectable in numbers and talent as tina.
which nominated them, we have no hes
isation in supporting them. Prof. BuG-
BEES claims to so important an office as
that of Superintendent of Public ~Instruc-
ton, has been somewhat canvassed by a
few OF the papers in the interior of the
State, and from them we gather sufficient
evidence of his eminent ability and fit
ness for the station, to convince us that
the responsible duties of that office would
be faithfully discharged, and its import
ant interests strictly guarded, if he is
elected.
Republicans may well be proud of the
position of their party in this State. The
talent evinced by the mass of their repre-
sentatiWs in our legislature, their close
attention to business, their Difference and
courteous attention to the wishes and in
terests of the minority, have wrung from
even their political opponents, many fay
CRADLE acknowledgements and sometimes
flattering tributes of praise. While the
Democracy, even with the flush of a Pres
iden,ial victory still warming them, are
divided and warning for the spoils, the
Republicans have closed up their defeated
ranks, and conscious of the rectitude of
their principles, and animated by their
love of justice and of liberty, and their
hatred of oppression and of slavery, pre-,
sent again a solid and unwavering front.
II is the innate force Of these moral prin-
ciples,-this consciousness Of right, and
the natural consciousness that truth will
triumph over error-that has infused this
recuperative action into the Republican
party, and make it stand to-day stronger
and better equipped than ever before.
These considerations will be felt, We
are assured, in the coming canvas The
office of the Superintendent of Public
instruction is one of the most important
in the State, and its interests are more
nearly allied to the personal welfare of
every member of the community, than
That Of any other; and incompetent, if
not dishonest, as the paesent incumbent
has proved himself, there must result
q more than ordinary scrutiny by the
people into the merits and capacities of
the different candidates o presented for
that post. We feel pretty certain that
the candidate of the Republican party
will stand the test, and that a verdict in
his favor will be pronounced in April
next.
