St. Charles Republican intelligencer. (St. Charles [Charles City], Iowa) 1856-1857, 1857-09-10

We gave full report of the Repub-
lican State Convention for the benefit
Of our Republican friends, and we
wish we could please the, Democracy
by giving a report of their Conven-
ton, but space will not admit. We
also gave a sketch of the history of
the Republican Candidates, copied
from the Republican press, and to-day
we give what the Dubuque Express
and Herald says concerning the Dem
ocratic Candidates
Ben NJ. Samuels, Esq, of this city,
Democratic Candidate for Governor,
was born in Parkcrsburg, Va, Decem-
Der goth, 1928, and is consequently
not quite thirty-four years of age
His father, Joseph Samuels, was one
of the most eminent lawyers Of Vir-
ginia, and in his Office, under the pa
ternal instructions, Ben read law, and
was prepared for the bar. In the
spring of lS4S he cmigratcd to Iowa,
and located in this city. The citizens
of Dubuque were SO pleased with his
manners and convinced ofh abilities
that they elected him City Attorney.
He held this Office two or three years,
being repeatedly reelected TO the
same. In this capacity he gave great
satisfaction, both as an able lawyer
and discreet and honorable man. In
1854 he was elected representative
to the General Assembly, and by his
straightforward and upright course in
that body, became greatly cndcaned to
his constituents.
In private life Mr.. Samuels s,tstains
a most cstimablc character. AS hus-
band and father, and consistent mem
Der Of Christian church, the record
of his life is without q stain Ac-
knowlcdgcd by all who know him as
the posscssor of commanding intel
lect and unsullied name, the most rab-
id political enemy cannot point either
to foolish or q dishonorablc act OF
his life.
Mr.. Samuels is but young man,
and yet he is old enough to be in the
prime and vigor Of manhood. lnpcr-
son he is large and wcll-proportioned
man. He is at that age at which the
physical system is strongest, and the
mental clcarcst and most active. That
nc was born in the State that gave
birth 10 the greatest and best men OF
American history, is.surcly no objec.
ton. Nearly ten years citizen of Iowa,
his feelings and interests are all here
He is in mind and manners a true
specimen of western gentleman In
deed, we observe the Republican pa
pers of this city do not utter word
against him "ds man or a atiscn," and
only find fault with his Democracy. 1t
is true he is Democrat. He has al
ways been Democrat.
Col. George Gallaspy, of Wapcllo,
is our candidate for Gov.
crnor. He is an old resident Of the
State, and is about forty-fvc years Of
age. In person he is also large and
fine looking man He is q popular
man in his own vicinity, which speaks
well for him. His private character
VIC have never heard rcproached, and
his public life has always been honor.
able and upright. That he is just the
man for the post for which he is nomi
mated, all who know him are ready tu
acknowledge.
