For the Guardian.


Mr.. EDITOR II notice in the col
umns OF your paper, an announcement
that w. CHANDLER, Esq, has offered him.
self as an independent candidate for the
Office of Justice of the Peace, for Wash
ington township. tits highly important,
Mr.. Editor, that the Office in question,
(Which under the peculiar laws of Iowa
is one of unusual importance) should be
filed by man every way qualified to
assume and discharge its duties. I am
glad, therefore, that Mr.. CHANDLER, has
consented to be a candidate.
Ihave been close observer of his offic-
ial conduct, since he assumed the duties
of the office of Justice, nearly two years
since, and | can, without fear of con.
tradiction, say, that his acts have been
such as to commend him to every can
did and appropriated mind. In his de
cisions, he has exhibited impartiality
candor, and well balanced intellect
which upon many difficult and abstruse
points oflegal science, he has shown him
self possessed of a power Of critical ana :
lyzation which would be highly credita-
bic to well red lawyer.
With an excellent judgment, Esq
CHANDLER possesses an investigating
mind, and in any matters coming before
him for judicial action, he takes pride
in informing himself Of whatever point
of law is likely TO be mooted. It's aeom
mon remark of the legal fraternity O
our town, that his instructions to juries
are at once, plain, candid and correct
During the time he has held the office in
Independence, nota case has been re-
moved from him by change of Venue
nor a single decision reversed in the
District Court.
trust, Mr.. Editor, that Oh the second
Tuesday of October next, the citizens
of independence will show by their votes
that they know how to appreciate. and
have the willingness to sustain, a worthy
public officer.

Mr.. Field is about 43 years old, and
looks younger, if possible. He has a

high, and weighs perhaps 40 pounds
His features are sharp and prominent, a
nose that almost exhausts his face eyes
small, sunken, grey or blue, and apparent
ly half closed a large forehead, and full
head of auburn hair. There is youth
full, almost boyish appearance about him,
that makes him seem younger than lie
really is. There is little of the i'm
pressiyeness Of figure and manner about
him, that distinguish his brother Dudley
of the New York bar.

The discussion between Van and Left
has been the constant theme of CONVEX

the partisans of each candidate, in such

How Vandever is ssused up.''...A Few
Facts from Country Papers.

ES- Dom, of the Dubuque Express
d Herald, is travelling with Messrs. VAN
DEvER and LEFFIEGwELL, candidates for
Congress in this district, apparently for
no other purpose than to write fulsome
laudations of LEFFINGwELL, and to dis
parage the oratory of Mr.. VANDEvER-
The natural proclivity Of Dom, and of
the Herald, for political lying, is fortu-
nately well known, and renders it mat
ter of supererogation, therefore, for Re-
publicans to take the pains to refute these
inane illusions. To ask the people to be-
lievc that man of Mr.. VANpEvER's well
known debating powers, standing where
he stands, upon platform declaring hos
tility to the monstrous extravaganza
of the present National Government, to
lis pro-slavery tendencies, to its violation
of principle, to its encouragement of
election frauds and the violation of the
peoples rights, to its outrageous discrim-
inallon against the cause Of free labor and
the progress of free society-to ask them
to believe that such man, with such a
position, can be FUSED up" "effectu-
ally silenced, +" whipped OUT" DC, by
man who has got all this to defend,
besides the task of reconciling the con-
flicling doctrines Of bred Scottish and
Squatter Sovereignty, is demanding too
much of their credulity. Mr.. VANDE-
YER, We know from experience, is an
an effective speaker and an able debater,
but yet had he no capacity Of oratory or
argument. occupying the position he
does, simple statement of his case
would alone be sufficient to confound any
man whose task it is to reconcile, uphold
and defend the professions and practice
OF the Democratic party. Mr.. LETTING
WELL does not attempt to do this. but re-
pudiates the previous action of the Ad-
ministration and the party, and goes it
entirely upon his own hook. Popular
Sovereignty is his hobby. his pet, his
passion. The Administration has repu-
dated it, DOUGLAS has repudiated it, the
Democratic party has rcpudialed il, but
LEFrISGwELL idolizes it. and wants to
so to Congress for the purpose of knock
ing the Administration in the head with
it. He feels valiant. and thinks he could
bid defiance to the power and the allure
ments Of the dispenser of governmental
pap, and by the force of BILL LETTING
WELLS oratory and example, bring back
the Administration and the party to
proper sense Of duty. He cares nothing
for Presidential DEGREES or the behests of
Party. but will defy and violate them with
the same impunity that TooMns. or STE

South, has the privilege Of doing He
