sfEEsHEs BY HON. WILLIAM 4. LErFI..GwELL

At eight o'clock last evening the Court

the Republicans, and Isaac NJ. Talmage, on
the part Of the Democrats, were appointed
Secretaries
Mr.. Vandever, being introduced by Mr..
Thorrington, then delivered an address of
one hour in length, (which, considering the
paucity Of his subject. the many difficulties
under which he labored. and the contradic
tions which he was obliged to sustain, was
really credtable to him.
Mr.. Leffingwell then replied in an able
and eloquent speech of one hour ard half
in length, which was enthusiastically
cheered throughout He reviewed the
course of the Republican party. and CON-
pared it with the Democracy. showing in
most vivid colcrs the inconsistencies and
contradictions Ct the principles advocated
by the standard bearer of the "bleeding
Kansas" party.
Mr.. Vandever then closed the discussion
in speech of half an hour which was
peculiarly moving affair. as during its delv-
cry more than two-thirds of the audience
departed
The late hour at which the proceedings
prevents the publication of the
abstracts which We have prepared of the
the speeches. We shall endeavor to give
them place in our issue of to morrow.

days past, and yesterday in particular we
noticed great deal Of caucusing upon the
street in regard to certain matters which
have been called up to public notice within
a few days past.
It appears that certain individuals who
ever have and etill DO maintain positions of
respect and honor in our city, who have
ever BEEN looked upon as honest and up
right men, and against whom no charges Of
dishonesty or crime have ever been, nor can
none be preferred, have been implicated in
as being aiding and abetting in making and
passing counterfeit money, and other acts of
an illegal and outrageous character. Now,
what we desire to know is, what does this
meanf and who is it that has 90 suddenly
discovered this alleged nest Of counterfeit
ters? It ia due to the public that this mat
ter should be thoroughly sifted to the bot
tom, and the true state Of affairs shown up
to the public gaze OF the character and
honesty of these individusls against whom
charges are Instituted. and regarding whom
insinuations and hints have been sowed
broadcast, We zee no necessity for institut-
Ing questions; but of those who have been
busy in poisoning the public mind W
would enquire by what authority they have
done these things and whv they are sn.
gagged in this ostsnsihlby unwarrantabls
psrsssutiea. Have they aught npen whish

Profit 25 per cent.
Total

This estimate is fair and as high as any
printer would be likely to charge for job
CT that character. The Gazette men charge
sa9,S0, which is nearly twice what it
should be. But they have taken the
printing of the proceedings at nothing and
the Ordinances at Is cents per square, and
to make up what they lose on that job they
charge the city double rates On other work.
But this can't go down. The Printing Com
mittee have an eye upon the fellows, and
will undoubtedly detect all such lodges Of
our honest and self sacrificing neighbors.

MURDER AT DUBuQuE.- From the
EIpress d. Herald we learn that on the 2lst
inst, most horrid attempt to murder was
made in that city by Swede named John
son, on the person of Andrew Osmond, an
other Swede. Both came from Minnesota
where they had been buying lands. Os.
mond had represented that johnson owed
him borrowed money, and that he would
push him for settlement. The couple pro
ceeded up the bluff, " which is extremely diff
heult OF acces-at that point, and very thick
" shaded by underground of shrubbery.-
johnson decoyed him into an out theway
and thickly secreted spot, where, if he had
accomplished his purpose, the body of the
victim might have remained undiscovered a
long time. While in conversation. he sud
denly made dash at Osmond, and with
long knife inflicted terrible cash on his
throat, almost entirely severing his wind
pipe, but not cutting the jugular vein-
lie then fled.
Mr. Osmond, terribly bleeding, made a
desperate effort and after walking about
two hundred yards reached the carpenter
shop of Mr.. Metcelf, and horribly covered
with his blood, threw himself on pile of
shavings. He was only able to articulate
Johnson and pointed towards the river
Drs. David and Beldin were called in, who
sewed up his throat ard did all that med-
cal skill could do for his relief He was still
living at 9 o'clock that evening.
On the person of the victim were found
several promissory notes sighned N. A.
johnson, to the amount Of some $3.50. and
two blank notes not yet signed.
johnson is said to be about feet inches
high, heavy set, Aorid complexion, dark
hair and whiskers tinged with gray had
on black cloth pants, black broad brimmed
hat, and coat under his arm. From the pa-
pers it seems that they were residents of
Sand Prairie, Wisconsin. The chances are
greatly against Osmond's recovery.
johnson escaped, but officers are after
him, and we trust he may be overhauled.

DIsT1lcT CLERKsHIP.-We under.
stand t1et our friend Joshua d. patten. has
declined being the candidate for re election;
and thaehs does not wish to let his name
be used - candidate for that office. This
sell assembling spirit most strongly chal.
lengsa 9Erespect, as it is not to be sup
posel nomsnt that . Republican Of
his standing, and with his aSundant dssii-
fications for such position, would thus
modestly step aside and refuse the honors
with which his party 50 ardently long to
crown him. Some evil-disposed persons be-
longing to his party, say that hercbuld not
have got the nomination had he aspired to
it; but this we set down as rank malice, at.
tributable only to persons who envy Joshua
his high standing with the Republican
party. We understand that aside from mo-
tives of self sacrificing nature. he wished
to make room for the nomination and cleo
OF DIR. Saunders. However much We nav
have respected and admired the official
course of Joshua, We must say that the Doc
tor is his superior by far, and will be elect
ed If he gets majority Of the votes. Joshua
has an idea of taking the stump in favor of
the Doctor, and against Clifford, who has
dared TO lay claim upone tn same bone.
We would here intimate to the, our medical
friend. that he had better cut clear from any
such electioheering influences ifhe would
make good run, and defeat Clifford. OF
course our admiration of Joshua's talent rs
speaker, and as a man of honor, is heartfelt.
but at the same time We think the Doctor
had better induce him not to mention his
name in connection with that office, as his
over zeal might injure the cause
1t has been ntimated that when John
Wentworth takes his seat in the Presi-
dental chair, that our friend Patton is to be
Attorney General of the Union. To this
end he will carefully prepare his massive
brain, unless prematurely swept away by
his friend who had some private conversa-
tion with him on Second street few days
since
