TIE FE7Es or To-DAY.-Our streets were
enlivened this morning by professions and
bands of music in honor of the Fourth. AT
an early hour (too early to be seen BY us)
the Light Guards were out in sniform and
fred the usual rounds of blank cartridges.
At about half past nine o'clock nondescript
company in grotesque and fancy costumes,
riding on horseback and following q band
Of martial music in wagon, appeared on
the principal streets and brought crowds Of
wondering and delighted spectators to the
pavement. The company numbered eleven.
Its name, we have been confdentially in
formed, is Observation-Disclosures
phroniostikills." Those who can't pronounce
it are at liberty to call them t'Fusileers."
At about ten o'clock the Catholics passed
through the city on their way to Hops
Grove to celebrate the day. The procession
numbered about 200 persons and was pre-
cedsd by the German band. Soon after the
turner's appeared headed by Uneers band.
They proceeded to s'Bocksberg" to celebrate
the day in accordance with programe a.

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1858.
The District Attorney.

The Convention to nominate . Judge,
District Attorney, and member Of tie
Board of Education for the Seventh Judicial
District, meets at Davenport on Wednesday,
July 7th. All three Offices are Of the highest
Importance. We need, the community de-
mands, that an able lawyer, and man Of
sound judgment, be presented for the Judge
ship.
For the post of District Attorney the Re-
publican party should present one of their
most eminent lawyers and most able and
efficient men in the field. We know of no
one whose name has been suggested for that
Office, who, in these qualifications, can COM
pare with HENRY O'CoNNoR. Well known
throughout the District, one of the foremost
Republicans in the State. eminent in his
profession, and rs an orator unsurpassed in
Iowa, his name on our ticket would be a
tower Of strength. So fur as we have
learned, the unanimous voice of the Repub
licans throughout the District will award
this post to him. With his name on the
ticket, and his voice in the field, the Repub-
lican party will sweep the Seventh Judicial
District with the largest majority it has ever
vet received.

The pfestdemt's DaguerreO1ypes
The Albany Journal makes an analysis of
the actions of Mr. Buchanan since he has
been President, which is daguerreotype in
its correctness. No one, indeed, can doubt
that since President Buchanan has had pos.
session of the reins of government, things
have been most outrageously mismanaged.
The man who was to have made the model
President has proven himself suppliant
tool, and more irresolute and vacillating in
his policy than any man who ever before
occupied his high position. In reviewing
his policy, the Journal says: He entered
the White House with promise of freedom
to Kansas on his ps--and scheme for
enslaving it in his pocket. lie declared war
against circulating notes-and in six weeks
was issuing them himself. Before the ink
was dry with which he pledged Economy"
he had drained the Treasury of its last dol
lar. Before the printers were done stereo-
typing his inaexible determination never to-
borrow he was in Wall street soliciting
loan. He congratulated the country on the
final end of slavery agitation and he has
been agitating it ever since. He ordered
Paulding to stop the fllibusters- then
recalled him for doing 1t. Walker of Nicar-
aqua he pronounced an outlaw-and then
rendered him the hospisalities Of tho White
House. Walker of Kansas he furnished
with written instructions-and turned him
out for obeying them. In 1857, he took of
the heads of all Postmasters who could not
sshurrah for Popular Sovereignty" In
1858, he takes of the heads of all scho repeat
the cry Of 1857.
He withdrew troops from Utah, where he
proclaimed there was war = in order to keep
them in Kansas, where he insisted all was
peace. He sells Forts at the Vest for q
1.-THE Of their cost, in order to buy sites for
Forts at the East at ten times their value
his subordinates, in both cases, pocketing
the difference. He is continually asking for
new Steam Frigates- he riu not use
those he has either on the coast of Africa or
in the Gulf of Mexico. He sends out q
steamer, ostensibly to catch the Styx- but
with private orders to the Captains desk, to
do nothing Of the sort.
Claiming to be the most frugal of Presi-
dents-he has spent more money than any Of
his predecessors. Assuming to be above
party prejudiees, he makes parti.anship the
basis even Of his invitations to dinner

mr.. Lesfingwell,. Position.

The Davenport News announces to the
faithful that Mr.. Lefingwell has concluded
to stand upon the English bill. Our readers
will remember that this bill was denounced
by Messrs. Douglas, Broderick and Stuart,
oil Democratic Senators, more bitterly than
the original Lecompton bill.
Now we would like to hear from some
orthodox Democratic authority what is Mr..
Lef6ngwell's real position. The people
would like to hear. Platform No. is silent
on the subject; from that we would infer
that Mr. Lefingwell is on the fence-afraid
to define his position.
But Platform No. 2 emphatically endorses
Buchanan and Lecompton, and the Daven
port Democrat says that it is the true plat
form. From this we are led to think that
Mr.. Lefingwell is simon-pure Buchanan.
Lecompton Democrat.
In the midst of these two conflicting
authorities comes the Ne,os with third
exposition Of Mr. Lefingwell's views. 1t
states that he is follower of the patriot
English, the author of the English bribe and
swindle, the man whom the Louisville Jour-
nal immortalizes as President Buchanan's
bad English.
Not satisfied with these three platforms,
the Dubuque Express and Herald gives Mr..
Lefingwcll a fourth to stand on. 1t asserts
most emphatically that he is an Anti
Lecomptsn Douglas Democrat.
Now we have only one que>tion to put to
Mr.. Lefingwell. That is this. Does he
mean to run on any one, or on all four of
hese platforms?

DECREASE IN FoRElGN IMMIGRArIoN.-The
last report of the New York Commissioners
of Emigration shows great decrease in. the
number of immigrants arriving at that port
from the 1st of January to the 23d ult. The
arrivals for the period are, in fact, less than
half those of the same time last year. The
number up to June %, 1857, was 81 ,6O9 |;
while that of the present year is only 30, 49,
This great falling off in immigration is no
doubt to be attributed to the stagna:ion of
industry and general business consequent
upon the rcvulsion. By next spring, when
these have begun sensibly to revive, there
will be corresponding increase in the tide
Of immigration.

NATIONAL DEBT AND UNIoN.-It has often

National Debt of Great Britain has been the
means of preserving the Government. Bu-

but the bond of an enormous debt will hold
our confederacy together, and so he has
commenced the running up Of debt with
startling rapidity.
