ANOTHER LIE NAILED,

The Republican press ard ora
tors, unable to deceive the people
as to the views of Judge Douglas,
have, in their utter desperation,
taken to disappearing Mr. John
son, the democratic nominee for
Vice President. They assert that
he IS opposed to non-intervention
or popular sovereignty. This
assertion was made by Mr.. Van
dever at this place on saturday
last. He attempted to prove it
by reading what, if it was ever
said by Mr.. Johnson, was an ex-
tract SO garbled, as to entirely per-
vert the meaning Of what he did
say The utter falsity Of M.
Wanderers statements are SO easily
proven, that our only wonder is,
that even as short-sighted as he is,
he should ever have made them.
Mr. Munson. at the time denied
the truth of his positions, as to
the views Of Mr.. Johnson, and if
any republican wishes to know
which was correct, as to the past
views Of Mr.. Johnson, they are
referred to his speech on the Cal
ifornia question, to be found in
the Appendix to the Congression-
al Globe, for the second session of
the 3Oih congress, commencing at
p. 800, which they Will find al
this office, or with Nj. Munson,
If any will say it is the present
views of Mr. Johnson upon non
intervention that Fandever aliul-
ed to, then we nail this lie by the
following extract from his speech
at Augusta, Georgia, June %.
1860. Read it:

THE DISC USSION

lHk DiSt OSSlON
As announced, Mess. Samuels
aud Vandcver met in this place on
Saturday last, and held their joint
discussion. The number Of peo-
pie IN attendance, was as large as
could have been anticipated, with
the population Of our county.
Mr.. Vandever delivered the same
speech without the additional dot
ting Of an i, or the crossing of a t,
delivered here by him in 1853, at
DEBORAH IN 1859, and in the II.
of Representatives, April, 1860.
1t is not dislike OF the man, when
we say, his speech elected no en-

vinced nobody of the correctness

very brilliant, had it emanated

contrary, the speech OF Mr.. Sam

DECLINED TO ANSWER.

DECLINED ~ ANSWER ...r . H
At this place, on Saturday last
Mr.. Samuels put several questions
to Mr.. Vandever, touching the
politics Of the country, which he
excused himself from answering.
Among them were the following:
"Have the people of the Territories
at any period Of their Territorial exis-
tence, the right to establish, or prohibit
Slavery" ...-
Again, Mr.. Samuels enquired
of Mr.. V. whether in the adoption
Of our present State constitution,
he voted in favor of, or against
negro suffrage and negro equality
or, in other words, how he voted
upon the question of striking the
word white, from the Constitu-
ton" To this question, plain and
straightforward as it is, Mr.. V.
equivocated, lodged and shufled,
and finally said he had forgotten
how he did vote on that question.
As Mr.. Samuels remarked, Mr.. V.
is undoubtedly the only man in
the State of Iowa, that does not
know, how he voted upon that
question. and whether or not, he
was in favor Of an equality be-
tween the white and the Black
man. At Waukon, he declined
answering whether or not he had
been a know-nothing, or whether
he sympathised with them in SEN
timent. Now we hold, and we
believe the people endorse us in
the opinion that no public man
should ask the suffrages of Amer
lean freemen, while he entertains
views upon questions of public
policy, and of general interest to
them, that he is unwilling they
should understand. The people
are anxious to know whether Mr.,
V. regards man as capable Of self
government, or whetherhe would
ifhe had the power, hold them in
leading strings; he declines to an
swer them; they desire to know
whether he would, or did use his
influen ce to reduce the white race
in Iowa, to a level with the negro
and he forgets how he voted, and
declines telling whether he is op-
posed to, or in favor of, negro
equality. Freemen of Iowa, what
do you think Of this Z? Are you
prepared to vote for any man with
out a sufficient reason for doing

VANDEYER.

One year ago William Vande-
Yer canvassed the Northern por.
ton of this State, in company
with Mr.. Samuels. At that time.
either through the srossest ignor-
anCe, or the most wiltul and pre-
medltated system of Implicitly,
falsehood and deceit ever practiced
upon an intelligent people, did he
begulle them into the support of
the Republican party and its
measures. II that canvass, Mr.
Samuels. in terms Of just and
proper rebukc, censured the Re-
publican party leaders for their
reckless waste, and extrayasant
expenditure of the public money.
Mr.. Samuels then stated, that the
completion of the Insane Asylum
involved a large and unnecessary
outlay Of money, and that while
he, and the democratic party were
willing to make tn, necessary ap-
preparations required for building
and furnishing a suitable Asylum
for the Insane of the state, that
the projected building was wholly
beyond the wants of the state;
that the Legislature, in its incep-
ton contemplated an outlay of
only $4,000 to that purpose :;
that there had then been expended
upon the work nearly or quite
S350,O0O and that 500, 900 more
would be required for its compile
ton. This statement was reciey-
ed by Mr.. Vandever with the
most virtuous Indignation denied
in the most emphatic manner, and
rldiculed in the severest terms.
In fact, MI. Vandever then intro
duced to his auditors, a statement
prepared by Senator Grimes, one
of the most willy and deceptive
politicians in the State, and sign
ed by Mr., Winslow, putting the
sum necessary to complete the
work at only 100000 Yet the
legislation of last winter shows
that Samuels was right and Van
dever wrong, for the Legislature
appropriated nearly 100000 to
continue the work; nobody now
denying that an additional 500,
900 will still be required. So too
in regard to the state expenditures
and the state Indebtedness Mr..
Samuels stated the amount OF
each, the magnitude Of which
appalled, the people. But Mr..
Vandever and the Republican
leaders were not to be foiled in that
manner; an unauthorized official
report (what an absurdity,) was
prepared and published by the
Auditor Of state, the only object
Of which was to deceive and de-
Jude the people into the support
of Republicanjsm, And, though
this low trickery then succeeded,
the report Of the Auditor, made in
accordance with the requirements
Of law, showed their electioneer-
ing report, so unscrupulously used
by Vandever & Co. to have been
unquestionably a premeditated
tissue of brazen and unqualified
falsehcods. Mr.. Samuels then
predicted that, the ruinous policy
of republican legislation in Iowa
had increased the state expendi-
lures to such an enormous extent
and that our state Indebtedness

Death Of Hon. Martin Mcleod.

We received information last evening of
the death of Hon. MARTIN MCLEOD, at his
residence in Bloomington, Hennepin county,
on Tuesday evening, Goth instant, after
brief illness. ..-
Mr.. MCLEOD was one of the Oldest set
tiers in the State, and a Councillor in the
first Legislative Assembly of the Territory,
which convened in this city on the third of
September, l849.
He was for many years we'll known as an
Indian Trader, and in that capacity expe-
rienced full share of romantic adventures
and ;vicissitudes of fortune. He came to
the United States from the Red River
in the 1887, on snow shoes. His two
companions both perished in snow
storm near Cheyenne river. He and bis
guide were twenty.six days without seeing
a living soul; and after being five days
without food, ate one of their dogs, and at
last reached the trading post of Hon. JOSEPH
R. BROWN.
He was native of Montreal, Canada,
and at the time OF his death was about forty
seven years of age.

Tho Restoration Of national Fr.ternity

The Winona Republican is pleased will
the stand taken by Hon. ALEX. b.. STE.
PHENs, of Georgia, in opposing the seces.
sionists. 1t says:
Alex. h. Stephens, of Georgia, is confessedly
one of the ablest men, intellectually, that the
South can boast of. We are glad to observe
that his talents do not end with mere intellec
tual brilliancy, but that he is also possessed oi
that equally valuable, if not SO rare gift, q
combination of practical common sense and
sound patriotism. Mr.. Stephens, according to
the telegraph, has delivered speech in his
State Of Georgia, advising moderation, de-
nouncing disunion, and commencing to the
the Union of the States. The result was SINH
lar to that of casting oil upon troubled waters.
The excitement is apparently greatly allayed,
and wiser counsels will undoubtedly henceforth
prevail, despite the reasonable attempts OF
desperate and misguided men to foment civil
discord. Mr.. Stephens is deserving of all hon.
or for the stand he has taken. In times like
these, when the perpetuity of the Union is
threatened by the madmen of the South, he
who steps forward in their midst, and stems the
foul current of disuniOn sentiment, Is entitled
to the gratitude of his loyal countrymen every.
where, whatever may have been his political
associations hitherto. ..s
This is all true of Mr.. STEPHENS. He is
one of the ablest statesmen and purest
patriots in the land and in no instance has
be SO clearly manifested these great quali-
ties as in opposing the almost unanimous
sentiment of the people of bis State, for
immediate secession. But Mr.. STEPHENS,
if we understand his position correctly, IS
an advocate of secession, in the contingency
that the Northern States refuse to repeal
their unconstitutional and obnoxious Per-
sonal Liberty bills. He is so reported by
telegraph. Now, will the Winona RepubH-
can, and its co-laborers in the Republican
cause, exhibit the same Indifference to the
fanaticism of their own section, that has
characterized the course of Mr.. STEPHENS
Will they unite in an effort to repeal laws
clearly in violation of the Federal compact,
and which were passed, in almost every
instance, to indicate the hostility of the
Northern people to the institutions of the
South?
We are glad to notice that many
prominent eastern journals, which supported
LINCOLN, are urging the repeal Of all State
enactments, designed to impede the exc
cution Of the Fugitive Slave Law, and an
noy and Cypress Southern citizens. If the
movement is successful, we will hear 70 more
of disunion and secession at the South
except probably in South Carolina, where
treason is chronic disease. The repeal of
these laws will strengthen the hands of the
conservative men of the South; it will leave
the Secessionists without single argument
to sustain their movement; and will demon
strate to the people that the North will fulfill
every constitutional obligation. Their re-
peal, we repeat, would be the signal for the
restoration of good feeling throughout the
nation.

Listen to paper which, though profess.
sing independence of party, does not always
conceal its strong republican proclivities
OF the odious personal liberty" laws o.
ten anti.slavery States, which have done SO
much towards exasperating the South and
bringing the country into its present criti.
cal condition, The (New York; World

Not one word can be said in the defence of
the so-called personal liberty bills, the undis.
gulsed purpo ose of which is to embarrass and
thwart the operation of the fugitive slave law.
we do not believe these faithless enactments
are approved by majority of the people in
any one OF the States in whose statute books
they are found. Our people, indeed, consci.
entiously dlsapprove of slavery; they feel that
it is hard. an invidious necessity which com.
pels them to recognize the right of owners % to
their escaped slaves; but they, at the same
time, acknowledge the binding force Of that
particular guarantee of the constitution-and
they nave too much manliness and good faith
to expect the benefits of compact without
performing its obligations.

Presidency, as expressed in speeches which
the party has taken pains to circulate as cam.

The World reprints the following
words, uttered by Mr.. Lincoln last winter
at the Cooper Institute, New York, and
calls tO them the attention of bis now vic.
torious party:
"A few words now," said Mr.. Lincoln, to
the Republicans. 1t is exceedingly desirable
that all parts of this great confederacy shall
be at peace and in harmony with one another.
Let as Republicans do our part to haze IL so.
Even though much provoked, let US do nothing
through passion and ill temper. Even though
the southern people will not so much as listen
to US, let us calmly consider their demands, and
yield to them If, in our deliberate uie,u of our

A COMMITTEEMAN IN SCHooL.-We find
the following good one from an authentic
source. A sub committee of School
Board, not a thousand miles from the city
of Lynn, were examining class in
primary school. One of the committee, to
sharpen up their wits, propounded the
following question
"If l had mince pie and should give
two~twelfths to John, two twelfths to Isaac,
two-tweliths to Harry, and should keep half
of the pie for myself, what would there be
left ?" s'8
There was profound study among the
scholars, but finally one lad held up his
hand as signal that he was ready to an-
swer.
"Well, sir, what would there be left Z
Speak up loud, so that all can hear" said
the committeeman.
"The plate," shouted the hopeful fellow.
The committeeman turned red in the face,
while the other members roared aloud. The
boy was excused from answering any more
questions. ..,

The WIFE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES
A few days ago the telegraph brought the
information that paper published in SAKE
Coburg. Gotha announces the selection of
the only daughter of the Grand Duke of
Saxe-Meiningen as the future wife of the
Prince of Wales. The ducal house of
SAKE e-Meiningen is dynasty closely allied
with that of SAKE. Coburg- Gotha, and the
only daughter of the reiguiug Duke Bernard
is the Princess Augusta Louise Caroline
Ids, born on the 9th of August, 1843, and,
therefore, not quite two years younger than
her prospective spouse. Her mother is a
daughter of the late William III, EIector
Of Hesse Cassel. 1t is possible that the
matter has been arranged-subject, we hope
to theapproval of Albert Edward himself
by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert,
during their recent visit to Germany.
