Political Discussion.

re- Messrs. BAoe and BARRIER, cam
didates. in this District, for District At
torney. engaged in discussion of polit-
ical questions, on Tuesday night last, at
the Court House in this place. The at
tendance was quite large. w. G. DON
NAN, Esq, presided on behalf, of the Re-
publicans. and G. HEDGES, Esq. on the
part Of the Democrats. Mr.. BAGG opened
and closed the discussion, and most ably
and satisfactorily supported the Republi-
can side of the question. proving him
self more than match for his opponent,
who had the prestige of good reputa-
ton. Mr.. BARKER was most effectually
used up upon all matters relating to Ma
tional Politics, but we presume fully sat-
isied his party friends by the exhibition
he gave of Republican Extravaganza in
the State administration "a statement
most grossly false in nearly every partic-
ular, as will be shown by turning to an
article on our first page to-day, enti-
tied the Campaign in Iowa" We have
not the time, to-day, TO refer more fully
to the discussion. but may do so at an
other opportunity. One thing is certain,
Mr.. EAoG has gained friends by the dis.
cussion. having most favorably disap-
pointed even his political partizans.

Prof. Kaness Concert.


Eg The Concert given by this gem
tleman on Friday night of last week, al
the Court House, passed off in the most
satisfactory manner. The room was toll
erably well filed by an intelligent and
appreciative audience, who manifested
their qualification by repeated applause
and encores. The programme consisted
of judicious selection Of Anthems,
Glees, Ballads, Solos, Choruses, Duets
and Quartettes, and the music was effect
lively and sometimes finally rendered by
the singers. The uniform correctness
both as to time and tune, with which the
various pcices were sung after so short a
preparation, speaks well for the capaci-
ties of both class and teacher. Mr.
KANE has gone to Waterloo for the pur-
pose of teaching, and we cordially COM
mend him to the favorable notice of the
citizens Of that place. He informs us
and requests us to give notice to the
people of this vicinity, that he will return
in about two weeks, and will then give
another concert in this place.

.W Friend CLEMENT, of the Dubuque
Times, spent a day with us the latter part
of last week, on his return from Cedar
Falls, where he had been to attend the
Editorial Convention. and before which
body he read an original poem. Mr..
CLEMENT is a perfect gentleman in man
ncrs and feeling, as we'll as an excellent
writer. The Republicans of this section
of the State owe it to themselves to sup
port the paper over which he presides.
for apart from its own intrinsic merits,
which are great, it is the prominent or
gan Of the party in Northern Iowa, and
they must look to it as the means OF coun-
teracting the effect which the lies ofprom-
inent Democratic journals arc liable to
produce. The more literally they sup
port it. the more eifectually can it do
this. There is sufficient patronage given
to Democratic journals, by the Republic
cans of this region, to support a first class
journal in Dubuque, which would WELD
a powerful influence in the advancement
of their doctrines. They owe it to the
principles which they profess, to bestow
their patronage to this end. and we hope
the Republicans of Buchanan county, at
least, will do SO.
Mr.. CLEMENT speaks very highly OF
the courtesy extended to the fraternity by
the good people of Cedar Falls. and says
the convention had a glorious good time
We should like to have been there, and
expected to have gone, but circumstances
prevented us from leaving. We are with
our brethren, however, in their proposed
measures of reform. We shall give the
proceedings of the convention more
extended notice than we have now time
or space for.

Interesting Will Case in Georgia

Mr.. Savage, of Dougherty county,
recently died leaving vii! which de-
vised his property to his wife, but in
the event of her marriage to 60 to
his children, thus cutting off the vile
without shilling. The lady was
disposed to contest this provision OF
the will, and the case was heard final
ly before the Supreme Court, whose
decision was rendered at Savan nah
several days ago. Mr.. Morgan, the
counsel for the widow,argued the case
with great ability, and contended that
this provision in the will being in
restraint of marriage, was contrary
to the policy Of our law and illegal;
but the Court held that man had a
right to leave bis property to his
wife during her widowhood and cut
her off if she married, and that the
Savage will vas legal. The Georgia
judges are not quite SO gallant as
their brothers in the Keystone State
who, if we remember right, some
time since came to directly oppo-
site conclusion on similar state Of
facts.

She came an angel bright to me,
When hope and peace lay wreck'd
Upon life's dark and stormy sea,
BY sorrow and neglect;
She seemed 20 nae in my distress
A spirit from above;
She filled my soul with tenderness
And won my heart to love !
She told me of peaceful shore,
Where joys forever reign;
She bade me sigh and fear no more,
And brought me peace again;
Since then I've pass'd thro' many gales
Seen life in roughest form,
Nor knew Despair, for she was there,

Open my bedroom eoor;
Ii card her step as noiselessly,
TO mn couch across the floor,
felt her hands my temple press,
Her lips just touching mine;
And in my anguish and Distress.

Our pilgrimage is nearly through
We've passed life's mountain brow;
thought loved her years ago.
kaoio love her now.
Her face was hovering over mine,
Her warm tears on my cheek;
Her whispered prayer, of thought DIVINE
Rose fervently, but meek;
Her bosom rested on my arm,
felt its troublous throe;
knew the cause of its alarm,
knew its source of woe;
And then the blood, my system through,
Came pressing on my brow,
l thought Iloved her years ago
kiaot0 / love her now.
Thus watched the tired and patiert one,
By night as wetl as day.
In sadness and almost alone,
Till weeks had passed away.
Bereft of sleep--deprived of rest
Oppressed-borne down with care
Tell o her labors have been blessed,
For God has heard her prayer.
Her cheek resumes its wonted glow,
And placid is her brow,
