GE- Hon. L. w. EASTMAN, of Hal

GE- Hon. L. w. EASTMAN, of Hardin
county, delivered speech upon political
topics on Friday evening of last week, to
very good audience, scarcely one of
which, however, was Democrat, not
withstanding good deal more than one
half of HENRY CLAY DEANS audience
were Republicans. Our democratic
friends seemed particularly to avoid Mr..
EASTMAN, after the private "setting
down. he gave some of them few
evenings previous. Mr.. EASTMAN open
ed by saying he was one of the long,
lank, slab sided Yankees for whom Mr..
DEAN professed such contempt, and then
went into an analysis of some of the
charges made by the Democratic speak
ers who had spoken the two previous
evenings, as to State matters, and proved
conclusively the falsity of those charges.
He then launched into National politics,
and gave synopsis of his own views,
which he said differed from those held
by either party. After this he took up
the bred Scott decision, and gave it a
mastery review, proving that it fully
endorsed the Republican doctrine Of the
sovereignty of Congress over the Terri
tories. He took up the democratic asser-
ton that Republicanism was sectional
and Democracy was national, and show
ed what Democracy is in the South, and
charged it upon the party North, because
they commended that the doctrines of the
party were the same North and South.
He showed where TooMBs, STEPHENS,
DAVIS, and others stand-declarn for a
Slave Code for the Territories, for the
abrogation Of the law against the Slave
Trade, &c.,-and asked if the Democracy
of the South was the same as that Of the
North He showed, too, that while Dem
ocrats north professed to be anti-slavery,
and always assert that if in slave State
they would agitate for emancipation, yet
when such men as CAssIUs M. CLAY and
FRANK BLAIR commence the work of agi-
tation, in their own States, in favor of abol-
ition these same good northern anti-slave-
ry Democrats call them all kinds of names,
endeavor to produce all the prejudice
possible against them, and, like Senator
DOUGLAS, cheer when they are defeated
Mr.. EASTMAN spoke for over two hours,
and with great acuteness and force. We
cannot give even an outline Of his speech
as our time and space are very limited
Suffice it to say that it was lucky for Mr.
Dean that the latter did not allow him.
self TO fall into Eastman's hands.

extensively. and denounced those who
opposed it, evidently forgetting that he
was once Wing, and had now proved
himself the politician done on both sides
He wound up by asserting that the Dem
ocratic party was the only Religious
party in the country, and had done more
to christianize the country than all the
other parties combined. He also asserted
that we were bound to have Cuba, Qua
temala, chihuahua and Mexico His
speech was interlarded with obscene an
ecdotes, intermixed with references to the
Deity in such manner that ii seemed
almost blasphemous. He INDUCED in an
occasional flight of fancy, when speak
ing of public men, and then used some
very good language, but invariably mar
red it by winding up with nasty habit
of hawking and splitting. Altogether it
was most disgusting display, and a
Democratic lawyer from Dubuque said
that if he had continued talking fifteen
minutes more he should have voted the
Republican ticket. AS soon as he got
through, Dean took up his hat and books
and started instantly for the door, prob
ably afraid some one would answer him.
He delivered the same speech, almost ver
batim in Des Moines and Dubuque. and it
looks very much as if he had committed
the whole thing to memory, and dare not
enter into debate because it might take
him outside of what he had prepared
However, the speech did not require an
swering, and if he delivers it through
out the State Will increase the Republican
majority one thousand votes.

GS- We had quite lively speech
making time last week, Messrs. MuNsoN
and POLLOCK, of Dubuque, and PETERS,
of Delhi, holding forth on Wednesday
night, Rev. H. G. DEAN on Thursday
night, and E. w. EASTMAN of Hardin
county, on Friday night The first four
are Democrats, and made Democratic
speeches, which is equivalent to saying
that they told a good many lies, made a
great many silly charges against Repub-
licanism and the Republican party, and
proved the strength Of their opponents
position by the weakness of their own
attacks. We say conscientiously and
candidly, that all the speeches made by
Democrats within the limits Of this coun-
ty. have done good for the Republican
cause. BEN SAMUELs' attempt to make
out a case against the Republican party
was signal failure, and resulted to the
injury of his reputation, while DEAN dis
gusted everybody by his blasphemy, his
obscenity. and his ranting nonsense. As
for MuNsoN and Pollock, they talked
worse than school boys, and exhibited
the grossest ignorance of history, of
men and of parties. MuNsoN talked about
Iowa being part Of the Northwestern
territory, coded by Virginia. and spoke
of the application of the Ordinance OF
1877 to it; and also declared that part
of the conditions under which Texas was
admitted into the Union was that she
should make five States, three of which
were required to be free, statements which
every school boy knows are not so. Pol
LOCK declared that TON CoRwIN was
preaching Squatter Sovereignty on the
stump in Ohio, and that, too, in the very
face OF the speech which we published
last week, in which he deals the hardest
and most effectual kind of blows against
that doctrine. He pitched into the In
sane Asylum, and called Senator GRIMES
crack Drained, insane politician He
asserted that the Insane Asylum was To-
Gated at Mt. Pleasant by GRIMES in order
to advance the price of the large amount
OF lots and lands which The Senator own
ed there. And this he made strong
point. when the truth is, as Senator
GRIMES has proven by the affidavit Of the
Recorder of Henry county, that he never
owned but one solitary parcel of ground
in the county, and that town lot. which
The Governor says he received as fee in
a suit in which he was engaged, and
which he sold long before the Asylum
was located. He also spoke about the
Secretary Of State, Mr.. SELLS, receiving
$3.50 from the State for acting as Cover
nor i'm Governor GRIMES absence, and
anmadverted upon it severely because
the constitution requires that the Lieut..

Petersss Mileage.

EF JOHN H. PETERS, Democratic
candidate for Senator of this District,
made some remarks, on Wednesday eve-
ming last, in this place, and principally
upon the subject OF the mileage which
he charged when member of the Con-
stitutional Convention. In explanation
he said that when be started to 60 to
Iowa City. the snow was very deep, and
after trying to 60 directly there by the
usual route, was compelled to return
He then hired a man to take him to Du-
buque, and went thence by railroad
through Illinois to Rock Island, and
thence to Iowa City. He also stated that
his colleague, Mr.. EMERsoN. of Dubuque,
handed in his mileage, and that he was
not aware how much he received until
the Debates of the Convention were pub
lished. Now let us examine this little.
We don't want to accuse Mr.. PETERS of
lying, but there are some things in the
explanation that certainly can't be recon
ciled with the record as we find it in the
volume of Debates We shall say moth
ing about the plausibility of the story
about Mr.. PETERS finding it possible to
go 40 miles to Dubuque through the
snow, and yet could not travel directly
towards Iowa City. 1t may be possible
that it is so. But when be says that his
colleague handed in his mileage, and he
knew nothing about how much he re-
ceived until the volume of Debates was
published, we must beg to be excused
from giving credence to the story, for
the following reasons
When the Secretary of the Conven-
ton read the amount Of mileage claimed
by the members, he stated that the mile
age Of Mr.. CoTroN had been handed in
by Mr.. Ellis, who was authorized to do
SO. Now, would it not be strange if the
Secretary should put this fact on record
and say nothin G whatever Of Mr.. PETERS
mileage being handed in by Mr.. EMER-
SON, if the case was as Mr.. PETERS
represents it? Why did not the Secre-
tary also refer to Mr.. PErERs's mileage
having been handed in by another per-
son, when he took the pains to make the
statement as 10 the other case. But that
aside. Mr.. PETERS said he did not know
what he received for mileage until he
saw the volume Of Debates. Now, on
pages 1856 of those Debates, we find
the following i;
The report Of the committee was read, stating
that the members were entitled to one hundred
and forty -one dollars each for forty seven days,
including tomorrow, the President being en-
titled to double pay, or twohundred and eighty
two dollars and for mileage as follows

The report conclu with the following res
olution
+" Resolrea, That the per diem aud mileage of
members as set forth in the annexed statement,
be approved, and certificate thereof, signed by
the President and attested by the Secretary, be
delivered to the Auditor of State"
Upon the resolution
Mr.. CLARKE, of johnson, called for the
yeas and nays, which We're ordered.
The question being taken by yeas and nays,
the resolution was adopted-yeas Is, nays l6,

Now here it shows plainly that Mr..

report, in which not only the number oil
miles charged by each member was given,
but also the number of dollars each was
to receive; and that after the reading OF
the Report, a motion to adopt was made,

record, and it is very improbable that he
should not have heard the report read
