For doing this actor placing in nomin-
alton D. s. Mr. as an Independent candi-
date in opposition to the regular nominee
censure and abuse has not been unsparingly
visited upon the devoted shoulders of those
who participated therein, by the organ and
those who had chosen different line Of
policy; but we expect to see the day, and
that not very far distant, when the conduct
Of the participants Of that Convention viii
be commended by allwho are not hopelessly
environed in political shambles.
We have no partizan appeal to make to
the voters Of Pottawattamie County-ve
are confident that they are as capable of
coming to right conclusion-as capable of
deciding upon the merits and dement's of the
respective candidates, as the editor of the
Bugle, or ourself-and we are content to
leave the issue with them. However, it may
not DO prcsumptuous in US, to aamonish
them to look well before they leap-consid-
er we'll which Of the two they prefer, and
cast their votes fearlessly and independently
for the man Of their choice. We have no
desire to influence them either way-and we
doubt our ability to do 50, even had we the
desire-and can now but say to thcu,-heed
not the Screenings and sayings of demo-
gogues-vote like men for your candidate,
unbiased by prejudice-vote as you think
will best promote your interests, and there
can be no question as to the result.
"a Fraud and False hood,
Under the above original caption-must
be original, "as he has given no one credit"
for it, the editor refers to the "Preamble
and Joint Resolutions" which We published
last week, and says that it was not adopted
by the Legislature. Well, we stand cor
rected. 1t was not adopted by the Legisla-
ture-it only passed the Senate. We cheer
fully make the correction. However, twas
adopted by a Democratic Senate, and in
troduced by a Democrat. The Senate, at
that session, was composed of IL Demo-
Gratis and Wings. Four Democrats voted
for the adoption of the Preamble and Reso-
luton, and .frc against their adoption
Six Wings voted for their adoption and
none against it. Therefore, the Preamble
and Resolution was voted for by both
Democrats and Wings. But, says the edit
or of the Bugle, there were but two "pos-
sum" Democrats who voted for their adop-
ton, one of whom has since died, and the
other is now rank Black Republican. As
far as DR.. SELMAS is concerned, we do not
think the charge of Black Republicansm
can be sustained. At the last election he
run for Congress, on the Fillmore ticket,
for the purpose of defeating Col. CuRrIs.-
The other two Democrats were HOWELL and
RoYsToN--will our neighbor tell us what
has become of them? Were they ''possum
Democrats 90 As our neighbor seems to
be. worried about ''poss1m Democrats"
will he inform us whether the Democrats
who met in Convention at Fort Des Moines,
in the summer Of 1855, were possum or
mustang?
To what an extremity must man who processes to
be m 1eso BE +, Bolster up
samc.-BmJlc.
Example THE editor Of the Bugle
charging majority of the Republican par
ty as being in favor of abolishing all dis
function between the negro and white race,
and placing the negro upon an equality with .
the whites-politically and socially. i
Example 1.-THE editor of the Bugle
charging that the Republican party is Sc
cretly making the adoption of the New Con-
stitution party issue.
Now what can be contemplate or exhibit great
er moral depravty on the part OF an editor person
to whom the people look for true tratemens; than for
him to attempt to foSt upon them the sentiments of
his opponents, preables and resolutions voted for by
his DUN party, and voted dowE by his opponeu;s-Bn-
gle.
Erample-The editor of the Bugle trying
to foist upon the Republican party, "negro
equality.'
We hope our neighbor stated that the
Republican party were in favor of "negro
Suffrage" from s'information which he sup
posed to be reliable; but as he has given no
no one credit for the statement, we are
bound to suppose that he originated it.
How 10 it, neighbor, did you "Gb' a little,
just to show'' that you were true follower
of the lead of "little Dog'-to show that
you could below "negro equality" as lus-
tily as the best Of them--to show that
you were par excellence, Democratic
show that you were ''sound on the goose''
OR have you been misinformed?
'If our advice is worth anything with you, and we
hope is just read your exchanges with little more
care"-Bugie.
Certainly, Colonel, your advice we value
very highly, although we do not always fol-
low it. And now, if tour advice is worth
anything with you" (excuse US for appro-
priating your words) we would say, just
pay little more attention to facts, and not
draw so largely upon your Imagination, and
the lead of your brethren of the "quill."
"Not Party ISSUE"
Under the above head, the editor of the
Bugle publishes the following resolution,
and says it was "p1ssed ut a Republican
Convention held in Lee county," and re-
commended it to our careful consideration
Resolved, That though we do not fully approve of
