Mr.. Vandever.
The dodge ia transparent and will
not deceive the Germans, who when
the Democrat asserted that Vandever
was q Know Nothing, we're told by
this same reliable sheet that these
statements-which it now admits
to be true-were absolutely and IN.
qualiiedly false.
The ground upon which the Jour.

against Bennett and Hebb, is that =
Distinct party, which holds the balance
Of power in Muscatine, calling them

give their support to these gentlemen.

Can orr candidates control the action

The American party have no candi-
dates in the field. They very natural
ly desire to vote, and that too unitedly
for the same candidates. In looking
round to see in whose favor they would
cast their influence, they selected the
Democratic nominees for District At
torney and Clerk, and for Judge the
Independent candidate A. II. Bennett.
And how could they do otherwise
with the present candidates in the
field. Dillon is a boiling Know Moth
ing--hence they could not support him.
For District Attorney the Americans
resolved to vote for George S. Hcbb.
And does any rational man believe
that they could support his opponents
They have only to remember that
Henry O'Connor is that opponent, and
the questionis answered. The silly at
tempt Of the yournot, at this late
hour to prove that Geo. S. Uebb
10 a Know Nothing, is only in
keeping with that papers entire
political course. Falsehoods fly
ABOUT as autumn leavcs-when the
editors think it is too late for others
to refute them-but like autumn
their lies arc yellow and bilious as the
tool that sends them forth.
The following are among the reso-
lutions about which so much ado is
made and which will explain reasons
sufficient to induce any man, to what
soever party he may belong, to vote for
Judge Bennett.
WHEREAS. the Davenport Republican Con-
vention. secured the nomination of their can
didate by such political tr,ckery and ehica-

every honorable effort to accomplish their
defeat. and
WHEREAS, by concert of action through
out the district. the 300 Republican majority
can be easily overcome; therefore
Resotved, That the Americans of Scott,
Clinton and jackson counties, are respect
fully, but earnestly invited and recommend
cd to unite with their brother Americans of
Muscatine county, and vote for A. II. Ben
nett Independent candidate for Judge, and
Georges. Hebb, Esq, Democratic candidate
for District Attorney and
WHEREAS. The Democratic party is noto-
riously held together by the COHESIVE DO wer
OF public plumber" no less than are Republi-
cans when in Office therefore
R@solred, That the action of the American
party ct the ensuing election shall not be
considered as endorsing the principles of the
democratic party; and that in ali future
elections, the Americans will cast their votes

ciples of the American party.

| In addition to all these facts we
publish in another column, . series of
resolutions passed by the Americans"
OF Muscatine, at meeting held yester-
day, in which they utterly disclaim
any connection whatever on the part
either Of Bennett or Hebb with their
organization.
