After our repeated questions to the
Gazette in regard to its opinion upon
the position of MIR. Vandever, that slow
thinking sheet has at last succeeded in
finding words for reply. The reply is
however, made in manner and with
caution, which betokcns the fact that
our neighbors are painfully aware that
they are trcading upon delicate ground.
The greater part OF their article-upon
the pickpocket principle Of crying stop
thief when detccted,-is devoted to
shrewd argument upon the position Of
Mr.. Leffingwell, based upon facts chief
ly drawn from its own prolific imagi-
nation. The most that the Gazette has
dared to say in defense Of the position
taken by MIR. Surveyor Vandever is the
following:
We have no reason to believe that on the
subject Of slavery, our candidate occupies
any ether position than that proposed by the
whole Republican party.
In his speech delivered in this city,
Mr.. Surveyor Nandever declared that
lie had no issue with Mr.. lcfiingwell
and the Democratic party upon the
principle Unpopular sovereignty; andin
his address at Delhi, to which we have
before referred, he declared that he
would vote for the admission of Ter
ritorv into the Union as a State, pro.
vided the people of the Territory de-
sired it.
Will the Gazette answer whether
these positions are those proposed by
the whole Republican party"-wheth-
err the Republican party have aban-
doned the old rallying cry Of sc, mo
more slave States" and are now pre-
pared to endorse the principle Of pop
ular sovereignty which was established
by the "pro.slavery Democracy ~
Has the Gazette also become faithless
to the great cardinal principles of Re-
publicanism: Is the Republican or
gan of Scott county DESTROYS Of desert
ing its party organization and coming
over to the Democracy If this latter
superstition be true, We shall claim, as
we did in the case of Mr.. Surveyor
Vandever, that the Gazette shall frs,
do works meet for repentance before
We receive it into the fellowship of the
party-it must first become an indie.

Ten months since, Messrs. Cook 4 Sas-
gent solemnly promised TO retire Flor
ence within sixty days. Later they
promised to redeem it when navigation
opened and later still, when the crops
were moved. All Of these promises,
each in their turn, were broken and the
people submitted. But now, having
grown bold-having acquired courage
from the inaction Of the people-they,
first refuse to recognize the right Of
the people to ask them when they will
redeem their issues, and second,l BAY
that until the new banks are started,
they certainly will not retire it at all
and that, at that time, as an especial
fsvor they now promise to retire every
dollar of it. Ten months since they
begged the community to receive their
notes as money, now they say that the
people shall receive them until they
get ready to withdraw them, and that
if they DO retire them at all, it will be,
as a mark of favor and not because the
people are entitled to demand it.
But if we admit the whole of their
claims. If we admit that we have no
right to ask them to pay their debts
and their entire right to infiict their
wild cat upon us as long as they
choose, what guaranty, have We, that
if we continue to receive Florence un-
til the new banks arc in operation,
they will then retire their shinDlasters
and make room for good currency:
We have the promise of Cook d
Sargent. The same promise which
we had ten months ago, and have had
time and again, since-a promise
which has been repeatedly violated-a
promise worthless as their written
promises to pay gold at their counter
in Florence and their published prom
Uses to redeem their issue at their coun-
ter in Davenport in exchange at the
same rates as other currency"
1t is utterly useless to urge that We
shall continue to receive Florence
until currency is issued by banks es
tablishcd under the new banking law.
IT, Florence is not retired before that
time it will never be retired at all. For
these new banks cannot afford to, and
will not, issue their money until all wild
cats are cut Of the way,
But even if the utmost confidence
was to be placed in the promises Of
Cook d Sargent-ii' it were certain
that at the moment new branch was
ready to issue its money, Florence
would be at once retired, no new Issue
can be ready within two or three
months and what arel we TODD in the
meantime! Are we to allow the grain
and produce now harvested and ready
for sale, to go to other points where the
people are blessed with good curren-
cy! Are our merchants to stand idle
in their doors, with their notes matur-
ing and their rents aud expenses accu
mulating, during the next three
months Are the laborcrs unable to
purchase either flour or meat, to staree
during the next three months
Are We to allow our business to 90 to
ruin, our merchants to fail, our laboring
to starve for three months
or shall we in some legal way, now,
Immediately, force Cook il Sargent to
do Justice
