relation he still holds. He also RESUMED
his relation as local preacher.
In the Senate of the United States Mr..
Harlan is known, not as mere politician,
but as a high-miuded and honorable
statesman As an unswerving champion
for freedom, no man in the United States
Senate has stood frmer, or borne him.
self more nobly.
A little episode occurred in the lesis-
lativc career of Mr. Harlan on which we
will not speak, as the verdict of all right
minded men in the republic has already
been made upon it. BY party vote, his
election was declared illegal and his seat
in the United States Senate made va
cant. This was the 18th of January,
1857. after h. haA henn not nply rarn-
auy oeauptta It t. osd4,So III ,ss'. He had
hardly time to reach home when the
State Legislature righted the wrong by
his reelection, end on the Goth of the
same month he resumed the seat from
which party violence had elected him
At the last session of the Iowa Legis-
lature, Mr. Harlan was elected to a sec
ond senatorial term, which xpires March
4th, 1867. So thoroughly were his
claims to this honor recognized, that he
was elected without opposition from any
any one of his political friends.
Our space will not allow us to extend
this article We think we do not mis-
take in the Judgment that there Is fu-
ture of honor and usefulness to the SUBJ
ject of this sketch. We hold him up,
with high degree of confidence, before
the young men of the Church and Of the
republic as a man whose character and
example they may initiate with profit.
We close by saying that We have not
essayed to be the culogist; we have not
attempted a pen portrait. When living
men are the subject we leave such efforts
to others. But an unvarnished life his
tory has in it elements o. most instruc-
tive and encouraging philosophy. Go

halfness about them. They are complete

The mean of virtue is between two de-

SPLH AMONG THE BRECKINRIDGERs. Those
who say they know, and we presume they
do state that n considerable fare-up has
taken place amorg the Secessionists at Sand
Flat Messrs. Rand and Ewalt, it is said,
have generally controlled the votes of the
supporters Of Buchanan, past and present, at
Sand Flat, and have almost always, if not
always, been sent to Buchanan County Con-
ventions as delegates. We are informed
that, at the time for holding the primary
election at Sand Flat for the election of dele
gates to the County Convention, Rand and
Ewalt were absent, being in Marysvile-
Thinking that nothing could of course be
done without their presence, they were in
no hurry to be on the ground, and so took
their time. When they arrived they in
quired, as our informant says, why the polls
had not been opened. They were answered
that they had been, and that certain parties
mot Rand and Ewalt) had been elected del,
egates. This, it seems, wouldn't do Rand
and Ewalt the former sachems of that pre-
cinct, and so a new election was called and
new delegates elected. Possibly these new
delegates were Rand and Ewalt Indeed
we hear it stated that they were and, fur
thermore, that there were only three or four
persons on the ground when they were elec-
ted
How this is We shall probably see at the
Seeessionist County Convention to day. We
shall see how the Court House Clique have
managed, and whether they will win.
