The County Convention.

This convention, held at the Court
House on Monday last, was not as we'll
attended as was desirable, for fair ex
preston Of the people of our county.
Yet since the same was an adjourned
convention from ono held abeut five
weeks previous, at which nearly every
township in the county was represented
thus atfording ample notice, we think
those who were absent have no right to
complain Of the proceedings had. A
little self interest was manifested by the
representations of a few townships, but
no more than was anticipated; and upon
the whole we think there was much har-
mony aud concert of action.
Toledo and Howard Townships, es-
pecially the former, having much lary
er representation than the others it was
decided, in order to grant equal priv
lcgcs to all, that the convention should
resolve itself into Que composed Of del
egates from the several townships in
proportion, to the number OF voters in
each.
A Committee, consisting Of Mcssrs.
A. Phillips, A. Tompkins, j. X. Ora
ham, j Peterson aud our humble self,
were elected to select suitable body Of
land, for the location of the Ayricultur-
al College, provided the same should be
located in our county, and prepare the
requisite abstract Of title aud plat.
A corresponding Committee composed
Of Messrs l. l.. Allen, T. b. Bolens and
p. Helm, were appointed for the pur
pcse Of securing influence throughout
the State in our behalf.
Resolutions were unanimously passed
to the effect that the Convention consd
cred it the duty Of our County Judge to
issue the bonds Of the County to the
state for the sum set forth in his procla
NATION, ana cOnuitloneu as therein eX-
pressed, in time to deposit the same with
the Secretary Of the Agricultural Col
lege before the first day Of May next,
and to use all his influence and other
suitable means within his power to sc
cure the location Of the College in orr
County. After which the meeting ad :
journed without day.

MIR. Douglas Declines,

An exchange says that when Mr.
Douglas was recently asked to consent
to stand as candidate for nomination
at the Charleston Convention he dccin
ed. On being pressed for reason, he
said: 'The Opposition are sure to sue.
coed in the next Presidential election
This bitter confession Of the ablest man
in the Democratic ranks, gives US, in a
few words, the cleares: idea Of the com
plete decentralization Of the Administra
ton. Its power Of evil is, comparative
y speaking, at an end.
It is generally conceded, in political
circles, that Douglas aud Hunter have
come to an understanding, by which the
latter is to have the honor Of being de
feated by the Opposition in 1SG0--the
former awaiting the chances Of 1851
This. opinion receives additional strength
from the fact, that the iast three candl.
dates Of the Democracy have been taken
from the North, making the next due to
tie South.
The States, formerly strong Douglas
paper, is now evidently under the con
troll Of Hunter, with kindly feeling to
wards Douglas, and the editor is a Vir-
giDian Of the Hunter school. The ST
lence Of Hunter, during the recent pop.
ular sovereignty debate in the Senate. is
also considered ominous of the aspira
tons of the Committee on Finances
Washington Republic.

They have determind to appeal from
the decision OF that remarkable body
the House of Representatives of Missouri,
to the people, with view Of setting a
side the judgment rendered against the
road at the late session. Accordingly,
we have been requested to publish the bill
which passed the Senate for the completion
of this road, and which the House re-
jected. Ii it had deem passed there is
every reason to suppose that the road
would have been built upon the dollar
for dollar principle, and that when con
nected with the Iowa roads it would pay
the interest on the bonds issued by the
State for its construction Lane lster,
in Schuyler county is only seven miles
from the Iowa boundary, and assurances
from most responsible quarters have
been given Of the Willingness and ability
Of the Iowa people to build their portion
Of the road.-Mo. Republican.

the Republicans.
The Shamocracy may say that the
most Of these were only local elections,
an d cannot be taken as an index Of the
relative strength Of the great Political
parties Of the day.
We own that they were local, and
plainly show that the principles of Re-
publicauism and opposition to proAgatc
Democracy are deeply located in the
hearts Of largo majority Of the people,
OF which truth, Iowa tbs coming fall
and the Union in 1850 will more thor
oughly convince them.

Democracy, they have only succeeded
in eecting three more city officers than

50 Republican to Il Democrats. A
large majority of the towns to hear from

be from 20 to 40 members.
At the municipal election in Kcokuk the
Republican ticket was triumphant by a
decisive majority. VIM. Leighton, the
