what Part OF the state shall the Next SEN.
atcr be Taken Front
This question is often asked, and an
swered in as many different ways; and We
would say no more about it, were it not
that improper efforts, as We think, arc
being made to the selection Of man from
one Of two favored cities,
It may be well to bring to mind the
past action Of parties, in relation to NOM
necs in Iowa. There is North and
South in Iowa, and although they cannot
agree upon all questions, they can and do
agree on this, that the North or South
part Of the State can have the Offices,
but the central never There have been
two oppnrea; exceptions to this rule, but
ia reality they 60 to show the truth of
the statement. It is true that Mr.. Cook
and Mr.. Thorington have been sent to
Congress from Davenport, but at the time
they we're nominated it was not expected
that they would be elected, and the North
and South were willing to give us can
didatc whom they expected would be
killed of by being defeated. But in this
they were disappointed. The populari-
ty, perseverance and principles of the
candidates secured their election; and we
can with truth, as We believe, say that
one Of them, Mr. Thorington, has done
more 20 make Iowa Republican State
than any other two men in it, and we
think the Republicans should bear this
ia mind, as well IS the fact that HE, and
not Mr.. Jones, scared the passage of the
Iowa Land Bill The central portion of
Iowa is strongly and reliably Republican.
.Of seventies eaEnties. comprising the
central portion Of the State, fifteen are
Republican, and gave Lowe majority of
2,783, while only two are Democratic,
and gave Samuels majority OF III" and
yet this part Of the State is to be ig-
nored bya Republican legislature, and
the North and South are to have all the
important Offices.
During the term OF the ncxtU s. Sen
asor, important legislation will be had in
reference to Railroads through tAe great
West-West Of us-and If the cent? al
portion of Iowa wishes to have her share
Of the Pacific Railroad pass through this
part of the State, il is all important that
we have friend in at least one branch
Of Congress We d. no not ask this as
favor, bat elaisn it rs our right But
we BY no means threaten that ii our
wishes are not sratifed the Republican
party viii be ruined apl broken up; if we
thought that would be the result We
would make no pretentions to Republi-
canisln .
1t is pretended that at our late State
Convention, it was "aerecd," or "uuder-
stood," "that if such an GRE received
such nomination, then the Senator was
to be taken from a certain city" We
were present at the State Convention,
and heard nothing Of the sort, and do
not believe there was any understanding
u that kind If there was, it only goes
TO show that the North and South por-
tions Of the State again united to cheat
the Central out Of its rights.
Ii is urged tia. e he Senator is taken
from Dubuque, the large Democratic ma
jority of Dubuque county can and will BE-
overcome. We think that the better way
TO overcome this majority is for the Re
pnblicans there to unite, and act in con.
cert, aud not spend thsir time in killing
one another off, politically. This course
We think will be more likely to give the
Republicans majority, and more likely
to secure good Offices for the citizens of
Dubuque We think DO one cognisant
Of the facts will deny, that had the
Republicans Of Dubuque been united,
one of our State officers would have been
taken FROM that city; their disagreement
was the cause Of their failure We think
it will be wei to look at the growth Of
KerahLeanisn in the counties in which
the asrcandidates live. They are
their localities has Re-
pd0Ii( sained ground in conso-
qusndl,6f II?
We say, once for all, that the citizens
Of "Old Cedar are content to leave the
matter with the legislature, if they eau
be relieved from that 'outside pressure"
which some are endeayoring to bring to
bear upon them. Whoever may he selec-
tad, the Republicans Of Cedar are right
all the time, and will continue to give a
good account Of themselves at each sue
ee.aisg election.
