Political Trt Book.-We have received
from the publishers a copy Of the Political
Text Book recently issued from the Tribune
office. We would like to see it extensively
circulated in Iowa, and arc confident that
those who have or may send for it, will never
Ibegrudgc the dollar that bought it. @
h !Sryhum.-Mr. Z. H. Collins, presented
US with gallon of fine Sorghum syrup few
days ago, which was the fruit of cane men
toned by US short time since. No one
can now doubt but what Sorghum can be
easily grown in this latitude, neither can
thcv deny but what the cultivation Of this
plant will be attended by great profit to the
producer. s s.. a...ss.e.s a..s .r4- asg.fY ri.

in this place on the 21st, was one of the most
interesting to which we have listened during
the present campaign. We would like, if we
had the space which at this late hour we
have not, to comment at some length upon it.
He had a full house out to hear him, and
at the close Of the meeting three cheers were
given for LINCOLN, followed by three more
for CHAs. PoMERoY. .sa#at
Fl Crelitable understand from source
we consider reliable, that Mr.. S. II. RouND
recently presented (rather privately to the
Brass Band Of this place a five dollar bill,
which act Of generosity and interest we con-
slider too much to the gentleman's credit to
remain unknown, notwithstanding he may
not thank us for exposing him. What pity
it is that we. Cor rather the Band,) could not
have few more just such Rounds. ID
$50 Complimentary.-From the Secretary Of
the Floyd Co. Agricultural Society, Mr.. JAS
JACKSON, we received complimentary tickets
to the Second Annual Fair of the above Coun.
ty, held at st. Charles on the 10th and goth
insts which we regret did not arrive till after
our issue of last week was stricken off,, and
also that it occurred upon the same days with

possible for us to accept the generous invita-.
ton, however much we may have desired to
have done So. s@a f
Democratic P0les.-From appearances re.
Gently we had surmiscd that something of an
unusual character was soon to take place
among our Democratic friends, and not until
Thursday last could we obtain an exposition
Of their rather secret movements, which dis
played their object to be that Of raising couple
of Douglas poles on either side of Main st
The selection Of Thursday as the time Of rails
ing will at once be seen as displaying some
forethonght at least on their part, for it beins
the last day Of the Fair, they had every rea
son to expect that they might be able to Sc

fcient number Of friends to carry out thei,
