The Democratic Ticket.

Dodge was finally run down and
compelled to face the music. He is
the Democratic nominee for Governor
He was custcd from the U. S. Senate,
because of his trucking subservicncy
to the South. and rewarded for his
perfidity to his constituents with a fat
Office. He stands precisely where he
did when he was succeeded by the
gallant Harlan--a rabid, uncomprom-
Using, pro-slavery locofoco, ready at
all times to do the bidding of his
southern masters. 1t is rumored that
he has been promised the Democratic momi-
nation for The Presidency if he carries
Iowa this fall. Dodge has been very
lucky as politician, but none of his
supporters can point to single great
beneficcnt public measure which owes
it's origin to him. The most that can
be said of him as a public officer is,
that he has drawn his fat salaries, and
been very obedient to his masters
the slave-Grivers. That he will re-
ceive another free ticket over the Salt
River line, is just as sure as fate.
The candidate for Lieut. Governor
is l.. w. Babbitt, of the Council Bluffs
Bugle. AS frontier editor, he has
our sympathies in everything except
his present effort to cheat the people
of Iowa into an endorsement Of both
Douglas and Buchanan.
For Judges, the nominees are Chas
Mason, Wilson of Dubuque, and G. C.
Cole, of Des Moines. Judge Mason is
unquestionably an able man, but lit

The editor of the West Union Re-
view will please not take our allusion
to grumblers about the school law as
intended particularly for himself. We
have always supposed him friendly to
the school law, and only DESTROYS, Tin
common with ourselves of rendering
it as perfect and useful as possible.
But he will agree with us that there
are those who are willing to sacrifice
the educational interests of the State,
provided they can thereby crafty per-
sonal or political prejudices. 1t was
for such that our plainness of speech
was intended. We have no "sensi-
tiveness nor tenderness" upon the
subject.
Onr quotation from the constitution
was for the purpose of correcting a
too common error, namely, that the
Board of Education was established
by the Legislature, and consequently
could be abolished, at any time, by the
same (Legislative) power.

A terrific thunder storm, accompa-
MED with hail, visited North Sanborn-
ton, N. H., on the 9th ult. A writer
there says:
About eighty panes of glass were
broken in front Of the house-all the
front rooms were deluged there were
handfuls of big stones and glass fly
ing everywhere. Isuppose it did not
last more than FIVE minutes. The
stones averaged as large as robins
eggs. Everything of the vegetable
kind in our immediate neighborhood
is killed. The storm did not extend
but few miles. Our wheat, corn,
potatoes, garden vegetables and ap.
pies, are all gone. 1t is enough to
make any one feel sick to look out of
the windows-the trees all leafess-
the grape vines all gone, and every
thing looks sad and fall like. 1t is
now the middle Of the afternoon and
there has not been heat enough in the
sunshine to melt the hail stones yet.

Is HE COMPETENT I'VE see by an
exchange that more than three ourtAs
of the cases appealed from Judge Will
sons Court, in Dubuque, have been re-
versed. And this same Wilson is the
man whom the Democracy of Iowa
wish to place upon the Supreme Bench
of the State. We are not disposed to
believe that the people of Iowa have
any particular desire to place up
on the Supreme Bench a man whose
decisions have been SO uniformly over
ruled. On the presumption that the
above is true, we have in Johnson
county, dozen Justices of the Peace
who are better qualified to sit on the
Supreme Bench than this Dubuque
nominee of the Democracy.-Iowa City

DoDeE Notwithstanding the dis
cussion last week at Oskaloosa be-
tween the rival candidates for Gov
ernor, Dodge declared with a great
flourish that it would be the height of
injustice to exclude the sons of Wash
ington and Jefferson from the Terri
tories in case they should want to
take their slave property with them.
When reminded by his competitor
that neither Washington nor Jefferson
had sons, the house applauded uproari,
ously, and Dodge attempted to look
wise. But there were those in attend
ance who thought he looked otherwise

The New Kansas Constitution.

Another desperate struggle between
the friends of Freedom and the Slave
ryites, is about to take place in Kan
sas. The people, by the exercise OF
the principles of popular sovereignty,
elected Free State Constitutional
Convention. That Convention has
Just completed the formation Of a Free
State Constitution, which instrument
is soon to be submitted to a popular
vote. This Constitution is said to be
thoroughly anti-slavery, but differs
from the Leavenworth instrument, in
asmuch as it does not extend the right
of suffrage to negroes. The State
Legislature will consist Of - Repre-
scntatives and 81 Senators. The
business of the Convention has been
disposed of with tolerable expedition
the questions of apportionment and
a temporary Capital being the only
measures which offered serious obsta-
cles. Topeka has been selected as
the temporary Capital. Lawrence be.
ing a competitor, the efforts of the
partizans of both places revealed con.
siderable corruption both inside and
outside of the Convention-one or
more members being implicated in
bribery. The indications are that the
ratification of the Constitution will be
vigorously opposed by the Democracy,
as it's strong measures-the annexa'
ton Of the Platte district, the exclu'
sion of free negroes, the prohibition
of a bank of issue, and the preserva'
ton of the western boundary which
includes the gold region-have al
been defeated.
Still, it is believed the Constitution
will be triumphantly adopted, and TIT
unprincipled, foolish and factious op
position to Kansas being made Ere
State will, we hope, soon receive it
FINAL quietus. On the meeting of Cor
gress, they will apply for admission a
a State, and unless the desperation c
the Slavery Democracy eliminates i
factious opposition in the Senate or i
a veto from the President, Kansas will
before another year, be a free an
equal member of our confederacy {

At meeting Of peach-growers in
New Jersey, representing tract of
country about three miles square, it
was ascertained that in that tract
there would be 10000 baskets of
peaches for shipment. In these three
miles square they found there were
over $4,000 trees planted, $4,000 OF
which were in bearing, and 10000 not
in bearing. One grower has $4,000
trees, but none are yet in bearing con

REPUBLICAN Victory IN OREGON y
The last Overland Nail brings the sur
prising intelligence that David Logan,
Republican candidate for Congress in
Oregon, is elected, over Lansing Stout,
Lecompton Democrat. A San Fran
cisco correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat says 10. Lane and "Delu-
sion" Smith both stumped the State,
calling on the masses to vote for the
Democratic nominee Stout" and tell
ing them that every blow that fell on
him would be very sensitively felt by
them Il. & s., but it was no go! They
couldn't worry him through 1t ex-
hibits sad lack of gratitude in the
People of Oregon after the Lecompton
Democrats have stultified themselves
for the purpose of getting that young
State into the Union to carry it off to
Republicanism SO soon

1t is now said that the Charleston
Convention can only afford to give
Gen. Dodge the nomination for the
Vice Presidency as a reward if he
shall succeed in redeeming" Iowa.
That is coming down little and we
shouldn't wonder if, after election,
the Democracy should think Iowa of
no account whatever-not even worth
that clerkship at Washington, which
Williamson demanded in the State
Convention.

The Judiciary and the Political Arena.
FASHIONS OF A NIGGER-DRIvER.

One C. G. Cole, young political
mountcbank from Kentucky, who beg
ged for, and by his importuning sue
ceeded in obtaining, a nomination in
the Democratic State Convention of
Iowa for Supreme Judge, has issued a
list of stumping appointments for the
Southern part of the State. We saw
this young Mr.. Consequence mount
the rostrum at Des Moines, after his
nomination, and heard him tell the
people how unexpected was his noml-
nation--and although he had no hope
of an election, he thought the notorie.
ty he should gain would be profitable
to him, as it would advertise his bust
ness He also announced, at that
time, only an hour or two after his NOM
ination, that he should travel the State,
expounding Democracy, the genuine
article, to those who didn't under
stand it.
Finding his character is little sha-
ky, he, cuttlef fish fashion, Immediate
ly took to writing the filthiest black
guardism and vituperation in the Des
Moines Journal. And yet with all
these facts patent to every one, this
Mr.. Pettifogger Cole complains be-
cause certain citizens of Des Moines
have seen fit to hold him up to public
gaze in his true colors.
Coles pretence now for stamping
the State, is the necessity of defend
ing himself from ISLANDERS, base,
wicked, malicious and groundless, ORR
ginating from the most contemplate
of all sources in this (Des Moines)
city" And yet the gentleman's hair.
Drained conduct has provoked all this
trouble for him. The Journal, in an

that Rockford is entitled to five votes
in the Convention. There being but
four Democrats in the Township, we
wish to inquire how the place of the
fifth delegate is to be filled. True, it
is none of our business, but then ig-

would like to know, you know.
