Scarcely II Week 90 Work.

Do the Republicans Of Old Wapello realize
that but little more than a week remains in
whic, to work for our candidates; that in one
week only from next Tuesday the great battle
for Liberty and Union, Lincoln and Hamlin
will be decided. 1t is true that the signs of
the times are so encouraging, as to stimulate
cxertion, and render it comparatively easy
and pleasant; but do we realize that what
remains to be done, must be done quickly9-
Has every Township been canvassed have
lists Of voters been made ont have commit
tees Of vigilence been appointed; have sure
arrang ements been made to detect fraudulent
voting Is there not some last word to say
to Democratic friend or neighbor, which
might influence him to 60 for Lincoln Ham
lin, Curtis and Hayne ? Are there net yet
many honest and ENDURING minds, upon
whom speech of Lincoln, Corwln, or some
body else will exert convicting influence :?
In short, Republicans of Wapel!o, are you
ready for the 9th Of November?

CHICAGO, Oct. Is, 1860.
DEAR SIR The great Pacific Road, to
which you refer. presume, viii Be con'id-
cred, and probably disposed of, by Congress
this winter. This Road, and the Pacific
Railroad of Texas, as you are aware, hive
engaged much OF the attention of all the lead
ing men Of all parties in our country and
no subject is regarded with more anxious
consideration and none is m >re worthy of
it. If they should be constructed, the effect
in my opinion, will be, to make the valley of
the Mississippi, and the Gulf of Mexico, the
great central points of the trade of the whole
world and to build up, on the Mississippi
AMI the Gulf, great comm ,rcal marts that
will moaopolise and control the greater por
ton If not the whole of that trade. In fact,
by these means, and tn, adoption Of just
and .jul;cious taa!ff, the steady flow of specie
from our country, which has enriched the
! nf will ot no
checked ond not only retained here, but the
tide Of precious metals, which has so long
flowed fromus, will be turnel, and this e,e-
mcnt ofprosperity, by which other nations
have heen so long favored, will be enjoyed by
w.. But it is useless for me to enlarge On
this subject, as | presume you have been
thoroughly posted Oh it by your very able
Representative, Col. Curtis, who is chair
mar of that committee. BY the way. your
citizens were most fortunate, and evinced
their good julgment, in selecting Col. ;Curtis
as their Representative have seldom met
with gentleman, who so speedily and thor
oughly secures the friendship and respect of
courtesy and urbanity, combined with real
dignity, command the esteem and respect of
all and the vast fund Conformation he has
collected on the subject committed to his
charge, which he knows perfectly well how
to use to the best advantage, added to his
purity of character, and extraordinary abili-
ties, give him an influence and control, rare
ly acquired by new members. | am not at
all posted in your local politics but l GER
tainly hope, for the benefit of the nation at
arge-of the growing West and especially
Of your own State, that his constituents will
long continue him il his present position.
which he has so e'nincntly graced and the
duties Of which he has discharged with so
much dignity and ability.
Sincerely yours, JONI WILSON.

A Card

The undersigned in their own behalf, and
Of many others whom they are authorized to
represent, beg thus publicly to offer their
tribute of respect to Mr. j. H. Meekins, Of
this place, for the manly course pursued by
him on Saturday night last, when he saw that
the Republicans were shamefully molestcd
in their peaceful mode of rejoicing over our
late political success in certain of our sister
States.
On that occasion Mr.. Meekins gave noble
example of tie true dignity of manhood, by
casting aside all the paltry considerations of
mere party and throwing himself into the
scale of justice, order and fair playa fine
specimen of the dear old revolutionary and
Jackson spirit, which said, 1--WE infict no
wrong, and we will suffer nome"
When we behold a sublime example Of
the above type, it is due to human nature
that we show our appreciation of it; and
more especially so, since we find the obi.
Gus doctrine lately announced by an exrep-
resentative Of Wapello county, that 81 will
support my party right or ocrong"

The SUpreMae JUGgeS!iD.

For some time past the Democrats have
been casting around for candidate for Su-

up one Daniel F. Miller, of Fl. Madison, who

Quasi Republican, an old Wing, one of the
few who voted to leave the word white out

As for the Repu5 licans, they will vote
for Geo. G. Wright, who by common and
universal consent, is the candidate Of the
Republican Party. And they will give him
such a maj Drity over tho LslspenIant can

appreciate in a candidate for the Supreme
Bench those qualities and qualifications
which Judge Wright possesses in an eminent
degree and which Mr. Dani,l F. Miller does
not. One other fact will also be taught, and
That is, that party will do better to run
men of their own, than to take up, under the

EGYPT TO BE CoLoNIzED BY TIE DoUGLAs.
Illinois that there are the best of reasons for
suspecting that the Douglas Democracy, un.
der the leadership Of their State Central
Committee, are laying their pipes for the
preparation Of extensive frauds in Egypt by
the importation of"voting cattle" from 9TH
er States. A correspondent writing from
Aledo to the Springfield Journal, says:
"The following have from an unmstaka-
bic source, to wit: Yesterday, Democrat
who had been pretty active in stumping the
county for Douglas, and who has not dol
lar of his own, staked considerable sum on
the result in Illinois, and says he has plenty
more to bet the same way, as he receives it
all from the Democratic State Central Com.
mittec, with the instructions to bet freely,
for they have already ten thousand Demo-
cratic voters at work on the Illinois Central
Railroad and other Railroads in Southern
Illinois; that they have all been procured
from other States within the past few weeks
and that they are daily shipping railroad
hands and other Democratic voters into
Egypt, and are bound at all hazards to lave
enough such in Egypt befo:e the 9th Of No
vember to overbalance the Northern Repub-
lican majority; that they were successful in
the central counties in Illinois in 1853 by
this means, and that they are bound to use
the same means to success in 1860"
