James Oley, LocotOco RePieseht
alive in Congress from Indiana, high in
the councils of the Lecompton Democracy,
has lately written letter to apoli'ical
friend, which letter got into the Cincinnati
Ga.eiie through the treason Of his Lecomp-
ton friend (these Lecomptoni,es are all trail
tors) and has enjoyed wide circulation
At first the Democratic papers denied that
the letter was genuine, but Foley Cor Fooly)
promptly acknowledged the authorship,
cursed his treacherous friend, said he was
sick when he wroie it, and that the papers
made it worse than it was. Here it is, and
il shows well what sort Of men the Democ.
racy Of Indian send 10 Congress. The
party that could send such an illiterate idi-
OF TO Congress is just such party as might
BE- supposed 10 deny the people the right to
govern themselves:

The FRAUDULENT DEFEAT OF BLAIR.-The
gross frauds at St. Louis by which Frank Blair,
Jr., was defeated Of a reelection to Congress,
are now confessed. The officers of the election
have refused to allow the poll books and ballots
to be examined, or to furnish any official in
formation that may lead to an exposure of the
frauds. Two judges of the county court, Len
ham and Hackney, sustain this outrageous COW
ering up of fraud, Judge Winner. alone de-
manding an honest exposure of the facts. Upon
this outrage the Missouri Democrat remarks:
"Wherever there is large increase, there
Barrett has received large yote-a vote which
demonstrates that the increase has been an in
crease of fraudulent ballots. The railroads
brought in their distant hands, the work house
disgorged its paupers, and the grave itself gave
up its dead to constitute that increase; and all
this would not have accomplished it if peripa-
tetc gangs Of drunken loaters had not made
the circuit Of oil the precincts, giving false
names and lifting their right hands to heaven
in mockery Of God and man. Their crimes
black enough, but how much worse is it when
the judicial authorities become accessories alter
the fact by holding the @gis Of their Office over
them. When the temple of justice itself be-
comes the sanctuary and fortress Of the lswess
and criminal, the foundations Of society are in
deed threatened"

: rE The animus of the Locofoco party is
well shown in their rejoicing over the defeat of
Frank Blair. the anti-savery candidate for
Congress in st. Louis. The leaders of that
party were so much eated by the result that We
could hardly induce them to keep their clothes
on. They made the whole country ring with
their triumphant shouts. In just SO much as
acts are better than words is this better in
terpreter Of their true sentiments than their
hypocritical professions OF opposition to slave
ry. "Of course we are opposed to slavery"
they have always said, "but why don't you
go to the slave States to preach your anti slavery
sentiments, ace have nothing to do with slave
ry." But, much as they are opposed to slave
ry, when We do go to a slave State and in.
sst on the superiority OF white men and white
paid laborers over negroes and negro-slavery,
these same pharisees and hypocrites are ready
to throw up their caps in expression of their
10y at our FIRST discontinue and defeat Very
fine anti.slavery men are these Douglasites.

The Railroad Excurolon Yesterday.
The Excursion train when Il left this city yes.
tsrday morning presented . gay and animated
appearance. There were seventeen cars well
isaded--thrse Of them with ladies'. The Blues,
Capt. Brydolf; the Irish Volunteers, Capt Scott
Washington Guards, Capt. Tedford. and the
Rifles. Capt. Matthies, were aboard. also the
Turner Hook and Ladder, Des Moines and Eagle
Fire Companies, the latter with their engine
On the last car was six pounder with which
salates were to be fred along the whole lire.
We were glad to see some Of eur Keokuk friends
upon the train, among the number Mr.. Howell
Of the Gate.
A large number Of spectators gathered upon
Main street and along tho track Of the Railroad
to witness the departure. And the opinion
seemed 70 be general both among the invited
and the uninvited, that there would be good
time.
A the hour at which the train will probably
return will be too late for our reporter to get
up proper account Of the interesting ceremo-
MES, for our paper Of this morning, We shall be
to defer till tomorrow full account

SEED WHEAT.-Byan advertisement in anoth.
or column, it will be seen that Putnam, Ohm
steds McEwen are offering . fine article Of
White Winter Wheat to farmers for seed-
We are told 1t is from Egypt, natures early
and is worth good deal more per bushel
than Spring Wheat or most of the varieties of
Winter Wheat grown in this meridian. 1t is
pretty clear to US that wheat culture has not
been brought to perfection in Iowa. We be-
lieve that Winter Wheat drilled in and rolled,
will stand our winters and produce as well, if
not better, than in other States where il is ex-
clusively cultivated. At any rate, We hope be-
fore many years to see better wheat and more
Of it, exported from Iowa.
