KEOKUK, IOWA: FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 2I,

Ii. That Kansas should, oil riEnt, De
immediately admitted as a State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
Of Representatives. ,o... NM
IL. That, while providing revenue for
the support of the general government by
duties upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment of these imports as TO
encourage the development Of the indus
trial interests Of the whole country. and
we commend that policy OF national ex-
changes. which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remune-
rating prices, to mechanics and manufac-
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
Is. That we protest against any sale or
alienation TO others Of the Public Lands
held by actual settlers, and against any
view of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or suppl
ants for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress- Of the complete
and satisfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
Ia. That the Republican party is op-
posed to any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State Legislation by which
the rights Of citizenship hitherto accorded
to immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor of
giving full and efficient protection to the
rights of all classes Of citizens, whether ma
tive or naturalized. both at home and
abroad.
Is. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor Improvements of a
National character. required for the ac-
commodation and security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by the Constr
tuition, and justified by the obligation of
Government to protect the lives and prop
erty of its citizens.
l6. That Railroad TO the Pacific Ocean
is imperatively demanded by the interests
OF the whole country; that the Federal
Government ought to render immediate
and efficient aid in It's construction; and
that, as preliminary thereto, a daily Over
land Mail should be promptly established.
II. Finally, having thus set forth our
distinctive principles and views, We invite
the cooperation OF all citizens, however
differing on other questions, who substan-
TALLY agree with us in their affirmance and
support.
SUPPLEMENTARY REsoLuTroE.
Resolved. That we deeply sympathize
with those men who have been driven,
some of them from their native States and
others from the State of their adoption,
and are now exiled from their homes on
account of their opinions; and we hold
the Democratic party responsible for this
gross violation OF that clause of the Consti-
tuition which declares that the citizens of
each State shall be entitled to all the priv
ileges and immunilies of citizens in the sew
eral States.

WAsHrNaroS, Sept, I

w WAsHIS6TOS, sept. IL.
The Secretary of the Treasury opened
the bids for the construction and use BY
the Government of telegraph line to
the Pacific.
The proposal of Hiram Sibley, rep.
resenting the Western Union Telegraph
Company, was in accordance with the
minimum sum in the act Of Congress,
viz $40, 900 per annum. and % for q
single dispatch of ten words. with the
usual proportionate reduction upon dis
patches of great length.
Adams, of Harrisburg, bids s29 900
per annum for ten years. Orville CLARK,
Of Sandy Hill. and J. H. Harman Of
Detroit. e25.000 for ten years. B. F.
Ficklin. of St. Joseph. makes three bids.
In the first. e35. 900 per annum for ten
years second. $40, 200. and to transmit
all Government dispatches at 81, so for
the first ten words, with the usual deduc-
tion of greater length, and the third bid
$40, 900, accompanied with . PROPOSE
tion to run pony Express after the 6rst
500 miles Of the line is finished at the
usual telegraph rates. until the line is

There were present at the opening Of

Graham, and A. w. Bee. The last
named is connected with the Placerville

TIE Pnosprcr.-The fusion in New
York, between the Douglas and Bell
men. is rapidly falling to pieces. and Lin
eolu is rssping the benefit Of il. Mr..
Huntington, one of the Bell electors on
the ticket, has declined. and announced
that he shall support Lincoln. Often
dorfsr, . German Douglasite on the tick
Ct. and McMsster, an Irish Douglasite.
announce that there must be . distinct
understanding that every elector on the
ticket is to vote for Douglas. If elected.
or they will decline. Ogden. and one or
two other American Electors. declare that
il must be distinctly understood. that if
elected. the ten American electors are to
vote for Bell. or they are of. In this
way, they are having q sweet time gen.
orally. Since the Douglssites have fused
with the the Know Nothiags. . large
number of German Democrats in New
York City have come out for Lincoln,
and the Bell party are going in the same
direction, almost en- nasse. In Roches.
Ter alone, five hundred of them have is
sued . call for . public meeting. to for
mslly declare for Lincoln. Gen. Houston
has Withdrawn from the field, and the
Houston Committee of New York have
issued an sddress to the party. the con-
clusion Of which intimates, almost IS
plainly ~ If spoken in so many words.
that their advice is to vote for Lincoln
The editor of the New York Tribune b a.
Just made tour Of about one.third Of
the State. and says the Lincoln vote will
be great deal larger than he had before
counted upon-that. in fact, every Coun-
ty in the State. with the exception of
several along the Hudson. including the
cities of New York and Brooklyn }
will give Lincoln immense majorities.-
The people realize that the most unfor-
tunate thing that could befal the country,
would be to throw the election into the
House and they see that the Republi.
cans are the only party who are striving
to keep it out of the House. by having
the people themselves to decide it.
Therefore. the people are going for Lin
coin. The election will not go to the
House!

this County lsbored. on Saturday. and
brought forth their ticket. From all &C.
counts, the Convention was . rich affair,

theatre. But We reserve that for next
week. The following is their ticket

For Representatives-v. D. Markham.
Samuel d. Benight. - Griffith.
For Sheriff-Chsrles Blakely.
For County Commissioners-Willism

For Assessor-L. A. Hoffman.
A great deal Of wire pulling and skull.
duggery were brought into requisition.
in order TO defeat DR.. Crane for the
Council, in which his successful compel.
itor took prominent part. Crane is by
far the most talented man /; but he is. We
believe. from the East, and was suspect.
ed to be not as sound on the nigger as
his hot-hesded Southern opponent.
Willis was skulldugged ont of the no.
mination for Sheriff. BY treschery in his
own Township. Three doggeries were
run throughout the day. by the respective
candidates for Sheriff.
That ticket will be beaten. from top to
bottom!

r. Douglas stumped it through Yer
mont. just previously to the late election,
and the State gave larger Republican
majority than ever before. with nothing
like full turn out. In Maine. the Re-
publicans expected q close election. in
consequence Of local issues. But Doug.
las stumped the State, and was followed
BY James Brooks. the great sold.out, who
advised the Bell men to throw aside their
principles and vote the Douglas ticket
the upshot is. very large Republican gains.
We suggest that the Republicans raise q
purse. and hire Douglas to go about the
country stumping until the Presidential
election. 1t would also be a good plan
to have auctioneer Brooks to accompany
him.
