~ Frank Blair, Jr., in his late speech at
Wheeling, set up the Democracy most beautiful
ly. "Why," said he, they have become so
fond Of dsunion, that down at Charleston they
even split up among themselves. Iexpect next
that they will all divorce themselves from their
wives. If they don't, their wives should be di-
yorced from them, and thus put an end forever
to the race Of disunionists." Great Applause.

E5Y- Massachusetts, bids fair to rob Indiana O!
its ancient fame az the refuge Of unhappy hus'
bands and wives. During the present session Of
the Supreme Court at Salem, in the former
State, no less than seventeen couples have been
divorced from the Bonds Of matrimony. Sew
eral other suits are pending.

gT We protest against the string of names
which have been applied to our nominee by
Greeley and other crazy Republicans, "HoNEsT
OLD ABE LINCOLN" This is too big load for
Nj. Lincoln tall and broad-shouldered as he is.
He has always been called simply and Familiarity
"Abe Lincoln which sounds best TO our car.
Mr. Lincoln was nominated as the Republican
candidate for the Presidency, not because he
split rails in 1880, but because he is believed to
be capable Of filling the exalted position and
likely to do it faithfully aud honestly. If he re-
deems his pledge, serves his country honestly
and remains through his term Of Office uncor-
rupted and incorruptible, as we believe he will,
it will be something that has not been seen in
this country for many years. But we doubt
whether rails split by him, or splinters there
from, are any better than any other rails, and
doubt the efficacy Of floating" them over the
country. Let us put this nonsense away and
give the people facts and figures.

~ The State Journal attacks Mcpherson and
Pomeroy, Republican candidates for district elect
ors, with very little candor and great deal Of
malignity. Mr. Mcpherson has been in the State
Senate . good while, and has acquired high
reputation for talents and honesty. He is, in
fact, . very able man-a lawyer Of extensive
practice. and first rate stumper. 1t will not
do to talk about Mr.. Pomeroy in this low.Aung,
abusive style, Mr.. Journal Without turning his
hand, or making . single speech, he came within
few votes Of carrying his own county last year,
for the Legislature, Dodge carrying it by more
than hundred. Charles Pomcroy has warmer
friends than any man in the State, and he de-
serves them. Trot out your fastest nags against
him, on the stump, and he'll distance them all,
singly or in pack, as you may choose to send
them.

tT The Douglas worshippcrs have an abund-
sncc Of faith if they think their Little Giant will
be nominated at Baltimore. His election by the
people is an utter impossibility. Benjamin and
Slidell would throw Louisiana against him-JeM
Davis and Brown would not let him carry Mis-
in Texas-Alabama would prefer Seward, and
South Carolina would sooner take to the devil at
once With Douglas on the track, John Bell
would run very strongly in North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Delaware and Maryland, and
would carry the first two almost certainly. In
the North, every State but New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana, California and Oregon, will go for
Lincoln against the world. Bright and Fitch
would move heaven and earth to defeat Little
Dugin Indiana, and by reason of Democratic ir-
repressible conflicts there, Lincoln would sweep
the State. The Old Line Wings Of Pennsylva-
MIA will never vote for the man who repealed the
Missouri Compromise The Adminstra-
tion party there would vote solid against him, and
the electoral vote would 60 for Lincoln. The
fact is, Douglas is strong nowhere, except where
his party is hopelessly in the minority, and to
nominate him would be but to slay him political
~ forever.
In simple truth, the real strength Of Douglas
lies right here: If he be nominated, the Demo.
cratic party In the northwest will not fall in
to utter ruin-if he be not nominated, it sciA--
Republicans win not vote for him; that's past

There are not enough Of them to beat the Re
publicans, but they can make respectable fight.
In nominating Lincoln, the Republicans threw
down the glove TO the Douglas men. Let them
take it upif they can and dare. II not, the con-
Aict win be transferred from the West to the
East And, whether the main shock of the bat
tie take place there or here, the signs of the times
plainly indicate the triumph Of the Republican
party.

the Osk.aoosa Coevention - ! candidate for

man OF acknowledged ability, who has rcpressns-

gentleman Of clear and discriminating mlnd WIN
positive traits Of character.
"a Oitjxen.r in the last 1T. Pleasant News,

Hox Arvrx sAuSDEas-Having learned from

or tIn, Alvin Saunders would present his name
l. the Convention 1t Oskaloosa for the nomina-
ton for Congress, and believing that such NOM
;natiop would meet hearty response from the
neoplc Of this district, We wish to say that such
I nomination followed by triumphant election
would be "placing the right man IN the right
place. We have no desire to prejudice the
claims Of any other man who may have any as
pirations for that position, but simply TO say
that il Col Sanders will consent to have his name
brought before the Convention, it will undoubt-
edly' as it should, meet the warm and enthusias-
tic support Of his numerous friends throughout
the district. Col. Saunders has been In the ffon,
ranks Of the battle for the success Of the Repnb
lican party since its first organization. He il q
thoroughly western man familiar with all the
wants Of our country, and would probably repre-
sent the wants and interests Of our State in tbs
National Council. We want men in Congress
who are reliable upon the great questions OF thu
day, who would exert proper influence, and b
thoroughly representative men OF their represent
alive sections of country. Webelieve Col. San
ders to be such. We believe he can carry thi
district by larger majority than any other mai
now before the people, and we say let him .
dominated.
| Col Curtis, who has, as will be generally con
ceded, served the people Of this district faithful
during the last three years, will be candidat
before the Convention As the Republican PAL
ty is and can be under no obligations to any mar
the question to be determined at Oskaloosa i
who among the candidates, is the ablcst and bes
man: II Col. Curtis, with his experience, is tn
best man for the position, he should he nomin'
ted. But if we have better in the district 1t
our duty to nominate and elect him.
E In addition to the persons named above, v
presume thai Judge Wright, Of Van Buren, Coul
ty, and Judge Sewers, Of Mahaska county, vi
be candidates before the Convention They al
both gentlemen Of ability and worth, well know
