the Attorney General. If Secretary Toucev is sup

Republican County Convention.
Pursuant to call, the Republicans Of Mus
catine county met in Convention, by their
delegates, at the Court House in Muscatne,
June llth, 1859.
On motion, VIM. Lundy was chosen Chair
man, and @. G. Hayes Secretary. On mo-
ton, committee of five was appointed by
the Chair, to nominate twelve delegates to
the Republican State Convention, to be
holden at Fort Des Moines, June %, 1859,
consisting of the following gentlemen j.
l.. Hustled, ID. @. Cloud, Samuel Lucas,
Pliny Fay, and Elijah Younkin. The Com
mittee reported the following gentlemen:
j. Butler, Geo. w. Van Horne,
W. G. Woodward, Michael Price,
Rob't Patterson, Asa Gregg,
VIM. Lundy, j.. l.. Hustled,
II. Q. Jennison, John Swickard,
Geo. G. Stone, VIM. Sells.
The report of the committee was unani-
mously adopted.
The following resolution was then intro
duced by D. G. Cloud, and adopted:
Resolved, That we would recommend to
the Republican Central Committee of this
county, Call for a Mass Conv ention, for the
nomination of candidates for the Octob ber
election, in which Convention the members
from the several townships shall be entitled
to cast the number of votes due to their
respective townships.
On motion Of D. c. Cloud, the Chair
proceeded to appoint committee, consisting
of the following gentlemen Jacob Butler,
j. A. Parvin Ii. Q. Jennison-with instruc-
tions to draft resolutions expressive of the
views of the Convention relative to the late
action of Massachusetts extending the term
required for the naturalization of foreigners.
The committee offered the following resolu.
tions, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, hat as Republicans, we are
unconditionally opposed to the principle
contained in the recent action of the State
of Massachusetts, by which discrimination
is made between the rights of foreign and
native-born citizens.
Resolred, That any action upon our pres
ent naturalization laws is inexpedient and
unwise, and far more likely to produce evil
than good to the country.
Res0lred, That we are unalterably op.
posed to any and all movements which have
for their object the changing of the great
issue between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties hostility to the extension of
American Slavery.
1t was ordered that copies of these pro-
ceedings be furnished to the Muscatine
Journal and Muscatine Zeitung for publica-
ton.
The G. INVENTION then adjourned.

SMALL BUsrNEss.-The Davenport Gazett

SMALL BUs1NEss-The Davenport Gazette
is pitching into "Col. Louis Schade." 1t
could do nothing that would be more pleas
ing to Shady or belittling to itself. Shady
would much rather be kicked than not no
ticed, being vain to the last degree. He is
known among his own countrymen and des-
pissed as an ignorant and conceited coxcomb,
and by intelligent gentlemen of the Demo
cratic party as an intolerable and abominable
bore, tedious, insipid and interminabls in his
conversation. So intolerable a nuisance has
he become even to his political friends, in
this city, upon whom he has quartered him
self, that two hundred dollars could be raised
in an hour, among them, upon pledge that
he would leave the city not to return. Let
the Gazette pitch into the poverty stricken,
half-starved and bare footed Pixies Peakers,
as they return in disappointment and sorrow,
or point its heavy artillery at the demorali-
zed, dispirited, divided and disheartened De
mocracy, but spare Shady-leave him alone
in his glory.--Burliagton HaUkege.
