the Territory 10 become residents -in
fact direct prohibition Of the domestic
Slave Trade. Congress could not, be-
cause Of the treaty of cession, totally
abolish slavery in Louisiana, but il took
every means that could be divised to
guard against its extension. This act
was passed almost unanimously by both
houses, and was signed by JrrrrRsor.
Does that look as if, as the Civilian as
serts. Congress- has no power over that
institution?
The Editor also, in the same article,
denies that the Democratic party has ev-
er changed its position upon this ques-
ton of Congressional sovereignty. but in
this as in everything else. he simply
shows his utter want acknowledge of the
subject upon which he writes. There is
not, and never has been, q prominent
man of that party, from JEFFERSON down
to STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, excepting prob
ably JOHN G. CALHOUN, who has a rec
ord within the pages ofthe Congressional
Globe, who does not stand committed,
by word and vote, to the doctrine Of
Congressional sovereignty over the Ter
ritories. This is so we'll known that we
consider it matter of supererogation to
attempt to prove it, as probably no one
but the Editor of the Civilian is ignorant
enough to deny it. If he doubts. we
may find it convenient to enlighten him.

dever and Lefiingwell. last evening"
That would b good stand point to
Judge Of the merits Of the two candi-
dates. We think the wall Of solid argu-
ment. logically piled up by Mr.. Yande-
yer. would from that point, compare
more favorably with the Spread Eagle
desultory oratory of Mr.. Lefingwell,
and would cause the Democrats to look
more crestfallen and woe begone. If that
were possible, than they did on hearing
them speak here. The fact is, and Dem
ocrats feel it sensibly, that Mr.. LefinQ-
we'll sustained most signal defeat here,
as we believe he has elsewhere on the
circuit. If Lefingwelps speech here
was fair sample Of that Rsutlemaps
ability, We do not wonder that the Dem
ocrats have ssnt with him orn-blower
in tho person Of Mr.. Dor To trumpet
forth his fame, = fame he would get
none, unless manufactured for him 70

The Boone County Nssss, aftsr giving
detailed account Of the discussion At
ASOVu0DOiO ooyo. eS24
In conclusion we win simply say that
Mr.. Wanderers speech was digni6ed,
logical, clear and conclusive, and in all
respects such an one as We should ex-
poet to hear from q sound. practical
statesman. On the other hand Nj. Left
ingwell's opening speech was unpointsd
and sophistical calculated rather to be-
fog than to elucidate the subject Of de-
bate, and was in every respect such Is
might be expected from 1 pettiboggsr
and demagogue. His closing speech
was hardly worthy Of : school boy. If
the speeches of both candidates here,
were fair specimens Of their efforts
throughout the District, to doubt the
result Of the election, would be an insult
to the intelligence ofthe people Of Nor
thern Iowa.

please inform us why it was that the re-
mainder Of the Democratic ticket was
beaten even worse than he was, when
chat question could in no manner bear
upon them in an official capacity !? And
further. to prove his great popularity.
please inform us how it was that Mr..
RoszELL sustained defeat in this county
two years ago, by 2s1 majority. in q poll Of
but 72l votes. when running for State
Senator against Mr.. McCoY. an old farmer
of Benton county, whose popularity
could in no sense offset Mr.. RoszELI's,
if the latter possessed the amount which
the Civilian claims for him. Nobody
but fool or knave, conversant with the
facts, would attempt to attribute Mr.. Ros-
zELI's plurality. in the recent contest for
County Superintendent, to his popularity,
or to anything else but misunderstand-
ing among the Republicans. Even in
this contest he was in a minority, for,
though beating Mr.. BuRRrNGroN votes,
yet the scattering votes cast amounted
to Is. leaving him in minority Of IL !;
while it is . notoriose fact that be was
elected BY the votes Of Republicans in
Liberty Township. where, we think, the
Judges friends will hardly claim for him
any great degree of popularity. The
fact is. the Civilian has grossly lied in
this matter, in the hopes that the state
ment would be copied. and = little capital
made for the Judge outside Of the county.
But the Republicans Of this district may
rest assured that Buchanan is safe for the
whole ticket by at least ESQ majority.

r. The Republicans of this county
will please take notice that Delegate
Convention will be held It this place on
Wednesday. 22nd inst, for the purpose
Of placing in nomination County
Clerk, to be voted for at the ensuing
October election. It is always advisa-
BE to have a full attendance at these
conventions, and as this will take place
during Court week, we hope to seedele-
gates present from every township. A
better. understand ing Of the wishes and
expectation Of the masses of the party
can be secured when every section Of the
county is represen ted, and the liability
to be deceived by the representations Of
our opponents, materia lily lessened. Be-
sides. mea sures of organization and CO.
operation will always be taken when
the means are at hand. a. is the case
when the party is fully represented in
convention. We want, and should have,
this organic alton now. The coming
election is one Of great importance, bear
ing, As it does, upon National. State.
County, and Township policy and in ter
ests, 1t is important, then. that we exert
ourselves to secure thorough organisa-
ton of our forces, with = view to bring
ing out our whole strength. This may
readily be done ifthe Republicans ofevery
Township will send delegation Of good
active. working men to the county con-
vention. to help form programme Of
operations. We want to know who to
appoint upon the county and Town
ship committees-who loves his princi-
pies well enough to work for them At
election day-who will come to the polls.

vancement of the cause with which he is
Unidentified. five can find those men
and get them enlisted, we shall then be
able to command our utmost siren 9th,
and therefore, always be certain Of
achieving triumph.
As regards candidates for the nomina-
ton in question, we hear Of but one name
mentioned, that Of DR.. BREwER, the pre-
sent incumbent. The duties Of the Office
are Of such q peculiar and difficult ma
ture, that but few men would be willing
to undertake their performance for the
compensation received, and but few have
the requisite knowledge or capacity. The
Dr., however. has proven himself per-
fecty fitted for the station, as well by the
uniform courtesy and firmness with which
he has discharged it's duties, Is by the
correctness and reliability of the records
of his Office. Judge WILsoN has given
him the credit of being the best clerk on
his circuit, and the unanimous verdict OF
the bar, we believe, is likewise in his fa-
vor. He is. besides, . good. stsunch,
reliable Republican-not the less SO be-
cause, as is natural with him, he is UNI
denonstrative-and if nominated, ho
probable contingency can prevent his
election.

Mr.. Vandever took the stand and for

endorsing the bred Scott decision,
and at the same time advocating the
rights of squatter sovereignty.

The Civilian ON Republican Misrepre-
sentatiOn.
r. Last week, our neighbor of the
Civilian, under the head of q Republi-
can Misrepresentation. gets of . lot Of
stuff about the relation of Congress to
the Territories, which, as is usual with
everything emansting from that source,
is as absurd in its deductions as the prem
ises are wanting in facts. just hear
what he says:
- Some of our Republican cotempo-
raries, getting desperately "hard up"
for political capital, are industriously en-
gagged trying to show that the Democracy
Of the present day is NOT what it "used
to was" They 60 back 70 The ordinance
Of 1778, and contrast that with the pres
ent position of the Democrats on the
question Of slavery in the Territories
but in 90 doing. they unintentionally fur
nish arguments against themselves. The
Republicans claim the right Of Congress
TO rule over the Territories, and cali in
this ordinance as proof. Congress had
nothing to do with it at al. The State
Of Virginia, in ceding the northwestern
Territory, made it on the express con-
dition Of this cession. that Slavery should
be prohibited in this Territory, to which
Congress agreed. This clearly shows
that Congress had nothing to do with
regard to Slavery in that Territory, but
that it was left altogether to the State"
1t is difficult to tell, always, from the
peculiar grammar which the Civilian
uses. what it really does mean, and this
paragraph is not an exceptional one
There is one assertion in it, however, dis
tinetly made. and is. therefore. open TO
criticism. Speaking Of the Ordinance Of
1887 (l77s he has IT'D and the use which
Republicans make Of it in the discussion

~ That sterling sheet, the Wavsrly
Repu6licam. speaking of the county press.
and the relation in which it stands to the
people Of every community where pub
lished, talks thus sensibly:
Coming home to our local Press, almost
every county in this portion Of the State
has its own, conducted with more or less
ability, judging from ourselves, generally
Under very pressing circumstances. The
man who lightly estimates the importance
of the local press, much lack some of the
elements that 60 to make up complete
man. and he who fully appreciates its i'm
portance and fails to give the home organ
or organs his sympathy and cooperation,
fails in one of the essential duties of his
life. No honest political sentiment, how
ever firmly expressed and maintained,
should prevent this local press from re-
ceiying the patronage, 80 far as subscrip-
ton amounts to patronage, ofevery fami-
" in the circle Of the immediate influence
Of the paper. This we regard as duty
that every man owes the community in
which he resides. To gay that the local
Press Is not what it should be, is but 1
reflection upon the community. We as
'sert without fear of contradiction. that
where the local Press is well sustained,
there is good one, or If not. good sup
port will very soon make it what it should
be or it will induce others to embark in
the enterprise to make It such. Financial
revulsions, like the one which but recent
~ swept over the land, fall with stunning
forcesupon the local Press, and yet in far
too many cases the attempt at economy
begins first where it should last, by cut
ting of the local Press and thus Dripping
thevery interest that suffers most and thai
too which the country can the very less
afford to spare.
Think Of it Farmers, seriously think o.
it. Can you. one of Jon, afford to LOSE
the influence Of the local Press for the sum
Of one dollar and City cents per year ? il
you cannot. we ask you to make haste and
put your name on the subscription bool
Of your own county paper, or papers, /
papers there be, and then send for suct
foreign paper as your purse will allow
and your taste may dictate.
