The Prospect,

The Prospect,
Conflicting reports reach us as to the
actual majorities in Chic, Pa. and Indiana
The Ohio Statesman says the majority in
Ohio will be less thar 10000 instead Of
10000 as claimed by the Republicans. In
Pennsylvania, Curtin Peoples Candidate)
is elected by $4,000 according to one au-
thority and "a, 900 by another. In Indiana
the Sentinel comedies 5000 only for Lane
while the Republicans claim 10000; a few
days ago it was claimed to be ID, 900. The
majorities are much less than were at first
reported, but we expect to see very few
Republican papers take off any till after
the great fight of the 9th. Reports are
more and moro confirmatory of the fact
that the Bell and B. & L. men of all these
states voted with our opponents in Oct. "to
teach the Douglas boys lesson" The
November election will separate them into
three divisions and there is ground for hop
ing that all these 'pivotal states" as modern
fancy has the term, will 60 against Lincoln
by fair majorities.
In Illinois the Republican Governor was
elected in 1856 by 5000 majority and yet
Buchanan carried that State. In Pennsyl-
vania both Democratic electoral tickets have
been withdrawn and Union one will be
substituted. In Ohio the Republicans have
5000 less majority than they had last year,
with sure prospect of a united vote of all
the Anti Lincoln elements. In New York
it is believed a perfect Union party is
now at work whose motto is death to Sec
tionalism" We have reasons for assuming
shat New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Oregon, Cali
fornia and perhaps Iowa and Wisconsin and
Michigan will be with us on Tuesday Of
next month.

OCTOBER "a. =: 1860.


The Democratic candidate for Congress
gave notice several days since, that his bust
ness was SO pressing in the courts that it
would be impossible, for time, for him to
travel with his opponent in their joint can
vass of the country. The Herald and
Times of Dubuque, both published notices
of this fact; the Times regretted that Mr..
Samuels was so tied up with legal business.
and hoped some Democrat would be cho-
sen to accompany Mr.. Vandcver in the in
term, to render the meetings more interest
ing. Thus far all is right, and was well un-
dcrstood here where the Weekly Dubuque
Times circulates.
On one day last week we were told by
James Taper, Esq, of Giard, in this Co.,
that Hon. Elijah Odell stated in his hearing,
and at trial before Justice Collins court,
that Mr.. Samuels had become so discour-
aged by the late election returns that he
had abandoned the canvass. We expressed
surprise that gentleman so highly regar-
ded for veracity should make statement
30 palpably false relative to the position Of
high-minded opponent, warm personal
friend, and brother in the same church,
In few hours after we met Mr.. Odell on
the street and related the conversation with
Mr.. Taper. Mr.. Odell denied making the
statement, and observed that Mr.. Taper
must have heard something of the kind from
Mr.. Lcflingwell, based on statement in the
Press & Tribune. We did not see Mr. LEI
fingwell, but on subsequent day Mr.. Tap
per was again in town, and he assured us
that Mr. Odell did make the statement, and
that he (Tapper) had seen Mr.. Odell since
our conversation with him, and had extor-
ted from him confession that he had SO
stated. We do not pretend to settle this
question Of veracity, but we desire most
cmphatically to condemn that mode cfelec-
pioneering, whether practiced by friend or
foe, tina. descends to the small baseness Of
misstating fact to gain point. If the
impression could be made that Mr.. Samuels
had abandoned the race, it is plain enough
that his friends and supporters would feel
equally Indifferent towards his election, and
it would work him serious personal, as
well as political injury.
We do no. want to extend these remarks
and only refer to the subject at this length
to state the circumstances under which this
report may have gone abroad, and to assure
our rcaoers of North Iowa, that BEN NJ.
SAxUELs is too old politician to be fright
encd from bis post by an October fusion Of
anti Democratic elements which will be
scattered to the winds of defeat in Noyem-
Der. Let his friends in the North but work
with will, and he and the State ticket will
be triumphant.

This indispensable institution at the Pr.
du Chen station of the NJ. & NJ. r. R., is
kept as busy as the scythe Of Time. John
Lawlcr has an army Of men employed in
that immense building, over whose various
deposites he has the honor to preside. We
looked through his House last week. Each
floor was loaded with Merchandise, Wheat,
Flour, Machinery, &C., &c. Several steam.
ers and barges were lying around the wharf,
discharging and receiving freights; each
man of the hundreds employed, was jump
ing to it as if his life depended on dispatch;
teams were waiting to be filled or emptied,
trains were rolling out boxes and spouting
in grain-takc it altogether the scene was
one of business activity rarely witnessed
anywhere. McGregor, Lansing, Johnsons-
port, Winona, Dubuque, Clayton and other
points pour their produce into this line of
Road her passenger cars are now running
with full seats, her barges across, and the
steamers up the river are well loaded with
merchandise for Iowa and Minnesota, and
we do not know why the NJ. & N. Road is
not doing splendid trade at this time.
We noticed q train of freights las
week numbering eighty three cars. Some
idea of the grain received (mostly from
McGregor) may be had by remembering
that the elevator is kept constantly running,
and that it will handle one hundred and
twenty bushels Of wheat in one minute
we have timed it.

Life Insurance.

Life Insurance.
Those desiring this safest aud cheapest protec
ton for their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. It has already become,
in reality, a State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as we'll in Wisconsin as in Connec.
ticut or my other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment at
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece.
dented,"we would cordially invite all our citi.
zens to call at the office, south west corner Of

SPEECH OF Gov. ELLIS,

Gov. Ellis now entered the hall with the COM
mittee sent to inform him of his denomination. and
received with the most enthusiastic applause
On ascending the stand, Gov. Ellis thanked the
Convention for the honor they had conferred upon
him. The nomination for Governor was a COM
pliment of which any man might feel proud; but
coming it did from the representatives of a
great political party, it excited in his breast
tiOns he could not give expression to. This cordi-
al approval he esteemed valuable as an endorse
ment of his administration of the duties of his Of
fee, and for this he owed the party debt of gra-
titude he could never discharge. 1t was true he
had been misunderstood and misrepresented. He
had no complaints to make of this. 1t was the
result of just scrutiny into the acts Of public men
inthe discharge of their public duty.
Il accept the nomination gentlemen he con-
tin ued land with it all its responsibilities, and all
the duties it imposes loud cheers.) He felt
that the position he then occupied never more
responsible than in the present aspect of public af
fairs. Sixteen years ago he logan his political
upon the floor of that hall. But how differ
ent were the circumstances then from what they
were now. Then, there were two great political
parties opposed to each other-now, there was but
one national party. There was another party op-
posed to them now, but that was sectional party
