State Conpention.-Some of our Iowa cotem.

tion called in April or May at Fort Des MONIES

convention had better be postponed as long
as possible consistent with thorough organi-
cation. There are good many irritating
causes still at work and time and quiet only
can heal them. When We get ready for the
fight in 1860 we want to see all the discussions
of the great family laid upon the shelf and we
have the best reasons for believing that con.
vention this spring would open afresh the
now healing wounds. We are fernenst giving

man of that city. Merrill jr., has been to Mil.

count of his trip-among other incidents he
accepted a chess challenge from a Milwaukee

but he reads awful proof for an editor and

The Leader contains an extract Of letter
from VIM. NJ. Brisbos OF Aurana Pike s Peak
TO his father Col. Brisbois of Prairie du Chen.
Mr.. B. was on his way to Arizona but hearing
of the Platte gold region he turned in that di-
rection and found the rel orts to be correct,
