Col. CURTIs.-We are sure our readers
will be all grati6ed to learn that the Hon.
Sam. X. Curtis has been re-nominaated as a
Candidate for Congress-. We had the pleas
ure OF some conversation with Col. c., and !,
as We expected, find him ready to devote ali
his energies to the success of Republican
principles. During the present session of
Congress he has not been absent from his
post single day. He goes into the cam
palgn with an amount of physical and men,
tai energy rarely equalled. Thoroughly
imbued with the fundamental doctrine Of
Rcpublicanism, he is prepared to throw the
whole weigAt of his character and influence
into the contest for their success. The Re.
publicans of the first Congressional Districts
may we'll be proud Of their standard bearer
in this campaign lie will seize it firmly.
and with great physical, mental, and moral
power will carry it boldly forward to a tri.
unfphant victory. We need hardly say
that Col. Curtis, as man, citizen and
is in every way worthy of the
fullest confidence and most cordial support
Of allright-thinking men, During the pres
ent term Of Congress he has been faithful
to the interestsof Iowa, and, unless we very
much mistake the signs Of the times, the
people will endorse his course by giving
him larger vote than has ever been given
q any candidate for Congress in this Dis
fict, = OsEdlo0s0 Her0H.

Henry O'COnnor.

The Convention which nominated Mr.. Dill.
Ion, selected Henry O'Connor, of Muscatine,
rs the Republican candidate for District
Attorney We need not say that better
nomination could not have been made, nor
one which would prove more satisfactory to
the Republicans Of the District. Mr..
O'Connor could ask no Office from the Re-
publican party Of the District or State, to
which his past services and his high abilities
would not entitle his name to the most re-
spectful consideration. Tie has never be-
fore, by himself or through his friends, asked
an Office, while no Republican has better dc
served what reward his party might bestow,
than Harry .O'Connor. He is admirably
qualified for the position of District Attor-
ney, and it is unnecessary to ask for him the
undivided support of his party Davenport
Gaeette.
All the nominations of our judicial Con-
vention, have met with the warmest appro-
val of the people of this District, and none
more than that Of Henry O'Connor. lie is
universally popular and widely known.
John T. Dillon is another strong and pop
ulsr man. He will sweep Scott, Clinton and
Nuscatine counties with large majorities,
and in Jackson he will cut deeply into the
Democratic vote ID.

MEssRs. EDITORS II herewith hand
you copy Of the Country Gentleman,
with a request that you copy the article
on the "New York State Agricultural

Of that board do not directly concern us

they 60 into the erection Of that great
institution, and reject such proposals as
are too expensive for their means. 1t
is almost universally the case that all
such great establishments err on the
extravagant side.
On this subject, wish to say word
on Agricultural Progress. When a
boy, / was accustomed to gather wild
fruits and nuts. I soon observed that
particular trees Of the same variety
bore different quality Of fruit from its
neighbor. With the berries observed
some difference; but with the wild
black cherry there was notable differ
ence. So with the chestnut. These
marked differences from the general
character, Horticulturalists call sport
ing. When they get fruit to devia-
ting in this way, they go on until they

Farmers, what have we done in this
line by way Of improving our stock OF
Wheat? We now have no plant in
the possession Of man so valuable as
wheat. We could easier dispense with
the cow-her milk and her beef, or
corn with its coarse bread-its pork and
its whisky. The light white loaf is
truly the staff Of life. 1t is SO easy

THE BANK LAws.-Both the State and

precedented majorities. We are in possess
sion of the official vote of quite number of
counties, but think it hardly worth while to
publish them. Though the majorities for
both are very strong, the State Bank Law
runs considerably ahead of its twin-sister,
the General Banking Law.

Henry o,connor.

The nomination of the gallant 'sIrish
Republican, Henry o 'Connor, is one which
every Republican will hail with delight No
man in Eastern Iowa has irmer hold on
the respect and confidence Of the people than
Mr.. O'Connor. His untiring exertions in
the great cause of Freedom, and his fearless
battling against the enemies Of Right and
Justice, have given him a claim to any gift
in the power Of the Republican party to
,bestow, and his unyielding integrity, great
perseverance and legal attainments, will
render his nomination very popular one.
Of Mr.. Garfield, the candidate for the
Educational Board, we know but little; but
are fully satisfied from the character Of the
Convention that offers his name to the peo-
pie for their suffrages, that his is nomina-
ton eminently eft to be made.o A good
ticket, and sure to be endorsed by the people

and friendship for Henry OCoNNoR meet us

that he holds in the affections of the people

any kind, have endeared him to the hearts O

Popular Sovereignty among the Ger

mans
Under the above caption, the editor
Of the Times Of July 9th, publishes an
article, signed GA German, in which
an effort is made to prove that the
Germans are beginning to discover the
true principle of Popular Sovereignty
in the so-called massachusetts bill,
and are returning in masses to the
Democratic camp, Of which the Hon.
Stephen A. Douglas is the acknowl-
edged leader. Although to many it
may appear doubtful if the writer of
this American-like stump speech is re-
ally German | ask your indulgence
for few moments, IN order to refute
some Of it's sophistries and false asser-
tons, as it must be of interest to every
citizen to know the true position Of the
Germans on the pending questions of
the day.

Fierce election. At that time the great
mass. Of the Germans were members Of
the Democratic party, and Pierce re-
ccived almost the united German vote.
The German Of the Times is perfect
ly right when he says the Germans are
born free soilers. They did not ap-
prove Of the Baltimore Platform in all
its parts; they were decidedly hostile
to the Fugitive Slave Law, which was
endorsed byit. But they too well knew
that their single-handed opposition
would avail them nothing they saw
that the American people acquiesced in
the Compromise measure Of 1850, and
that the bar to any further agitation of
the slavery question, which was thus in
tcrposed by the Baltimore platform,
was in keeping with the sense Of the
conservative masses Of the American
people. They hoped that, when the
slavery question, at least for a while,
was disposed of, Congress would turn
its attention to other pending questions,
one Of which was the dearest wish of
every German-the Homestead bill. It
is well remembered still, how the names
Of Pierce and King were proclaimed
among the laboring classes, as the
bearers of the Gland Reform
and liberal foreign policy it is not
forgotten yet, what pledges were made
by the leading politicians in this re-
spect, which is a matter Of American
history, with what rejoicings tn, inaug-
uration Of Pierce was hailed.
But Of all the promises, not single
one was fulfilled. The Homestead bill
was knocked in the head by Demo
cratic" Senate, and millions Of acres
Of the public domain were squandered
in land grants to Railroad Companies.
But something which was not on the
Of the baltimore Platform
It'd occur. The box of Pandora was.

distinguished Senator, who brought
forth his great measure, the Kansas

u marks of Mr.. Dillon before lh<

Il remarks of Mr.. Dillon before the
judicial Convention.
Mr.. Dillon made the following remarks
before the late judicial Convention, in ac-
ceptance Of the nomination as Republican
candidate for District Judge
Ibeg you to believe, gentlemen, that your
Kindness is fully appreciated. Were not a
candidate at all, or were a candidate for
any other office, it would afford me unusual
pleasure, in response to your call, to address
the Convention Mt length upon the political
topics of the day.
As it is, any reference by me, at this time,
to subjects OF this character, would not seem
to be appropriate.
Yet it is entirely proper for me to say,
and will avail myself Of this occasion to
say. that ap truly grateful to the members
of the Convention for this signal manifesto
tiono their confidence and regard. Many
circumstances conspire to render my nomi-
nation peculiarly gratifying. The harmony
and general good feeling which has prevailed
here to-day-the nomination having been
made in the midst of my fellow-ci'izens, and
at the place where l have resided for more
than twenty years, and hy delegates chiefly
from counties where, for the past eight years,
have pursued the professionof my choice,
profession which am proud to say love
all these circumstances concur to enhance
the value of the honor you have just con-
ferred upon me. therefore accept with un-
feigned pleasure the nomination which your
kindness | fear, rather than any merit OF
mine, has prompted you to make.
In thus signifying my acceptance it may
also be proper to add, that shouldit be my
good fortune to be elected, you and the pub
lie may rest assured that will discharge the
duties of the office faithfully, inpartially,
and to the best of my ability.
Unembarrassed, as shall be by airy other
engagements Whatsoever, the performance
of its duties shall engross my whole time
and attention.
| The dockets in the several counties shall
be made and kept clear aud it shall be my
only ambition and greatest pride to continue
qualifying myself, and SO to discharge the
arduous and responsible duties which will,
in the event of my election, 1evolve upon
me, as in some degree to merit the great
confidence you have reposed in me.
Repeating my sincere thanks for this ex-
hibition of your personal esteem and regard,
let me hope, gentlemen, that you will never
! have occasion to regret the nomination you
have this day made.
