We have short, earnest word to our friends
in the country. It is our interest to defeat
the Administration in this county, and to give
such an expression of the real popular opinion
that it will hereafter be known where Musca.
tine county stands. We have a real majority
Of about one hundred votes, if they are brought
out. Now, we must bring them out. Let
every township meeting which elects delegates
to the convention of the 2sth proximo select a
committee of three active men, who will agree
to perform all the requisite work of such a
committee. Let each of these men take a
third of his township and canvass it thor
oughly, registering every Republican voter,
and on the day of the election let it be the
business of this committee to see who Of these
voters are at the polls, and to send for the
absentees. Let this organization be thor
oughly made at the time of the township
meetings, and let it be carried right through,
and our ticket will go out of this county with
a clear majority of one hundred votes.

More Nuts for MIR. LeffiMgwell to
Crack, tonight.

We advise those who listen to Mr.. Letting
we'll, to night, to notice particularly how
he disposes of the following points. They
are prominent in the issues of the day, and
will, we presume, be adverted to:
L. Does he run as an administration or
an anti administration candidate
2. Docs he approve or condemn the Eng
ish bill?
3, Will he, if elected, support or oppose
the financial policy of Mr.. Buchanan, who
has expended Eighty Twe Mi1lions of dol
lars in the first year of his Presidency, and
a time of profound peace?
4. What party will those who vote for
him support and endorse, by thus voting
the administration or the opposition party ?
Let Democrats and Republicans notice
Mr.. Lefingwell's answers to these questions,
if he ventures to answer them at all. - Daily,

GAMl; LAW.

Mr.. EDITOR - L, seems to me proper to

the Legislature Of last winter amended the
Game Law, making it illegal to kill Prari e
Chickens, Quails, &c, at other times than,
from the 10Th Of August to the 1t of Janu-
airy. In my humble judgment no act Of
theirs is deserving of mure praise, as only
by the strict observance Of this law can
these beautiful and u,eiul birds be preserved
from entire annihilation.

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN SAVING THE UNION
We see by letter from President Buchanan
toa celebration committee at Philadelphia, that
he supposes the Union has actually been saved
within a few months, and by act Of Congress.
The country will be astonished to learn that it
has passed such crisis so easily. We sup
pose the President means the English bill in
the following item Of thanksgiving:
"When we contrast the present condition OF
our country with what it would have been at
this moment had Congress adjourned without
enacting any law to mitigate the sectional strife
which has been raging for years between the
States of the confederacy, we have every reason
to be thankful to the supreme ruler of nations,
who has ever interfered at the hour of our
greatest need to shield us from danger"

REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS AND SENATOR JONES.
In Mr.. Leffingwell's speech, Saturday
night, he went considerable distance out
of his way to attack the Hon. Timothy Da-
vie, Representative from this Congressional
District. Mr.. Lef6ngwell's objection to Mr..
Davis appeared to be, that he had made no
speeches in Congress. This must have fallen
rather unpleasantly on the ears of the friends
of Gen. Jones, who were thereby reminded
that their distinguished friend, during twelve
years of servicce in the United States Senate,
had made but one speech, which was written
for him by tie Rev. Henry Clay Dean, and
and the burden of which was, that the negro
was not man. Mr.. Davis he's been in Con-
gress one session he has not been talking
or gassing member, but he has worked !;
and if he should. remain in Congress twelve
years, we do not doubt that he would make
more than one speech, without calling to his
aid Mr.. Dean. Even Mr. Lefingwell will
admit that, although Mr.. Davis does not
take up much of the time of the House in
talking, he is heavy on log rolling.-Dubuque

Have we am Author among us
1t is rumored that highly fgurative and
interesting biography Of one Of the Demo-
cratic candidates, citizen of this place,
which appeared in the Davenport Democrat
of the Goth, was the production of one OF
our citizens, somewhat distinguished in the
legal profession. This is his first effort, we
believe, in the literary line.
1t is sufficient to say that in the happy
use Of rhetorical figures, we have never seen
it equalled Mr. -'s style bears strlk-
ing resemblance, in some respects, to that
of the inspired prophets-it abounds in n.y.
perbole. The use of that figure in rhetoric,
our readers will remember, is similar to
that of the microscope in science, to- mag
nify. He closes by taking most inyinci-
BILE position. He challenges comparison
between the Democratic and Republican
candidates for the Office Of District Attor-
ney. We think he is safe. There is none.
We understand that the production is to
appear in the Enquirer.

done to the crop thereby. -Desm Dimes Csti-

The wheat crop in this region is said to
be greatly damaged by the rust. Some say
that the crop will be total failure, if the
evil grows as it has begun: Some fields are
totally ruined already, and the owners are
blowing them up and sowing in Hungarian

Nuts for MIR. LeffinsWeEl to Crack,
Wednesday Evening.

A writer in the Bloomington Pantagrah
propounds the following pertinent queries to
Judge Douglas. We PROFOUND them to Mr.
Lefiih gwell the candidate for Congress whom
his party are running upon all tours in this
District. We wish our readers to take these
queries to the meeting tomorrow night, and
see how they are answered, or if they are
answered at all. We predict thar Mr. Letting
well will not dare to meet them fairly and
squarely. We also wish the people to mark
his position on the Lecompton question, and
ask themselves the question, if Mr. Leffingwell
is right are not Mr.. Buchanan and the Demo-
cratic party wrong; and if the Democratic
party is wrong, what party does Mr.. Letting
well wish them to support and endorse by
voting for him?
l. Do you believe that the people of a Ter
formation of State constitution, have the
right to exclude slavery?
O. Do you believe or pretend to affirm that
the Republican party do or ever have denied
the constitutional right of the people of a ter
ritory, in the formation of State constitution,
to form free or slave constitution, as they
choose?
3. Do you believe that the STAKEHOLDER can
L0rJUGty Jake his slaves anu nOlu Cnem IN any
and every Territory of the United States?
4. Do you endorse and approve the doctrine
of the Supreme Court in the bred Scott case
that the constitution of the United States pro-
tects slavery in the Territories? If yes in
what manner or how, except by changing the
constitution, can slaves be laaotully excluded
from the Territories?
5. If the constitution of the United States
protects slave property in Territory, so that
the people cannot, whilst Territory, exclude
it, how can they exclude it in the formation Of
State constitution ? Is the constitution of
the United States less potent in State than in
Territory?
6. Is the prohibition of slavery in the con-
stitution of Illinois valid?
7. You once said in the United States SEN
ate that the question whether the people of a
Territory had right to exclude slavery there
from, was question for the Supreme Court.
Now, sir, have the Supreme Court decided that
question in the bred Scott case? Ifyes, how
have they decided it, and do you indorse and
approve that decision
s. If the dictum of the Supreme Court in
the bred Scott case be true, that the Constitu-
ton of the United States directly recognizes
and protects slave property the same as any
other property, and knows no difference
between that and any other property possessed
by the citizens of the United States, and if the
people of State or Territory have the right to
exclude slave property, have they not an equal
right to exclude all other kinds of property

EDITORS Journal: On last evening, an
audience of very respectable size for our vii
lage met in Butterields Hall, to hear dis
cussion on political matters between Mr.
Vandever and Mr.. Lcffingwell, candidates for
Congress in this District.
Messrs. Wand L., however, did not attend,
but the crowd present were determined to
hear speech, and organized by calling Mr.
William Leverich to the chair, when a call
was made for Mr.. O'Connor, of your place,
who came forward, and although unprepared,
responded in a manner that soon convinced
all present that he was perfectly posted on the
present issues.
After speech of an hour which was well
delivered and very attentively listened to, Mr..
O'Connor closed amid deafening applause.
All were well pleased except a few Locos,
who took outside tickets, not wishing to trust
themselves within the influence of Republican
arguments. There is general desire to hear
Mr.. OConnor again during the canvass.
