On County Convention.

Ouf Sbuuy SUsASS"ssSbass
As will be seen by the call in this
weeks paper, Republican County Con
vcntion is called for Saturday, the It'd
day of May next AsNi i'll be seen by thu
call. important matters will be brought
before the Convention, and it is hoped
that there will be large ATTENDANCE
We believe there are one or two com
mittees, appointed at the last convention
{ which are to report. Some dissatistac
ton has been felt with the delegate sys'
tenn az heretofore practised aud the man
ncr of calling future conventions will be
brought before the Convention. 1t is
important that proper action should be
bad on all these matters, and again we
say let there be large turnout. We
are about entering into an important
Presidential campaign, and all Repub.i-
cans should be willing to spend one day
to set things to work in the right
manner and direction.
Republican State Convention.
The State Convention to nominate
candidates for Secretary Of State, State
Auditor, State Treasurer, Register of
the State Land Office, and Attorney
General, has, in accordance with our
wishes as expressed in February last,
been called to meet at Iowa City on the
Wednesday following the Chicago Con-
vention. 1t is expected that some of the
eloquent statesmen who will be at the
National Convention will attend the
State Convention, thus affordius an
opportunity for our citizens to hear those
who could not be induced to visit US a:
any other time. We hope that humid
reds of the Republicans of cold CEDAR
will go to Iowa City, and there renew
their devotion to these principles that
were so dear to the Fathers of the Re-
public
reh.- The last Democrat, forgetting that
it has time and again refused to answer
questions which we have asked, copies
long list of questions from some pro-
slavery paper and asks us to answer
them. We have not time or space to
copy and answer all Of the questions, but
will say that We believe tina. the scrvi.
tudc allowed By the Father and Son as
set forth in the Bible, was right under
he circumstances. Onc question speaks
Of Paul sending "a runaway slave back
10 his master" We have often thought
that if runaways could be sent back AS
Dncsimus was and be received as Paul
expected Oncsimus would be received
by Philemon, that an end Of American
slavery would be near at hand We hope
the Democratic blood hounds who are %
anxious to send buck runway, will read
the epistle of Paul to Philemon aud
imhue a portion of its spirit. 1, the
sixteenth verse, Paul, in speakin. Of the
manner in which Olesimus should BE-
received, says, " Not now as servant,
" but above 4 servalt, a brother beloved,
q esp .cially to me-, but how much mo re
" unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the
'h)rd Caa it b. that il Pulls time
the servant was a brother Sin the flesh
Of his master rs at the present day The
slave is, oftentime, a brother "in the
flesh Of his owner? If the Sauthcrncr.
would only receive back their slaves as
blood relations and christian brother.
ought to be received We would not oppose
the Fugitive Slave Law SO much.
The Democrat objects to our spcakin!
of the "heinousness Of slavery and IT,,
evils connected therewith,' now W,
would like to have the Democrat tell u
whether it thinks slavery, as it exists a
the South, is right? Is slave consid
cred as property, in the Constitution @
the United States? Suppose slavery t.
have been right in the olden time, doe
that Justify the slavery of today? w
will wait for an answer to these shor
questions, and perhaps pursue our en-
quiries further hereafter.
