HowEs SCALEs.-We take pleasure in
chronicling the various and multiplied i'm
pr0vements in the useful machinery of the
day. In this instance in calling the atten-
ton of every one using a scale, to the great
improvements found in HowE's STANDARD
SCALE. The principle Of leverage as used
in every scale heretofore manufactured is
the same as in that of scales fifty years ago;
and although the manufacture of portable
platform scale is more modern, still the old
fashioned check rods, with the platform
resting and wearing upon the knife edges,
has been the only scale offered to the pub
lie. The Howe's scale requires no pit,
which in prairie country, particularly, is
of great advantage, and all friction, instead
of being received ON knife edges, as in 9TH
ers, is BY an ingenious device received on
chilled iron balls, and it will weigh accur
ately either in or out of level. AS an in
stance of this, we will mention that one of
their two hundred ton scales put up seven
feet out of level, has been in use four years.
and weighs as accurately to-day as when
first put down. We advise every one to
examine HowE's STANDARD SCALES, conf
dent that it will by inspection, recommend
itself to that best Of all the senses, common
sense Thomas S. Dickerson, at his metal
Warehouse, As Wabash Avenue, (Burch's
Iron Building,) has large sale-room for
these scales, where may be seen every vari"
ETY., from the most delicate Post Office bal,
ance, to the thirty ton railroad track scale.

Iowa STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
This honorable body assembled on Tuesday
last at Upton, Cedar county. About two
hundred teachers from different parts of
the State were present. The usual ques-
tons were discussed, and the general frta-
tons enjoyed by the masters and maids
On the whole, it was pleasant time. The
number in attendance was not so large as it
would have been had the Railroad Compa-
nies extended the usual courtesies of half
fare tickets-which they declined doing
this year.

If this is mere quarrel between the Brock.

opponents Of the present incumbent have
attempted to procure his removal, by charg-

official delinquencies, then We think the
charges unjust We think all our citizens
are satisfied with the management of the
Post Office in this place.

Hon. j. B. Reymart of Hudson, judge
Crawford of Mineral Point, A. Hyatt Smith

Messrs. Smith of Madison, Judge Craw-

VoLGA CITY, Iowa, Aug. 22d.
Mr.. Editor The Republicans of Sper-
ry township attempted to organize here last
night, they having adjourned from the
great meeting that was addressed by
Hurst, of Elkader, some time ago.
Having little curiosity to see what
they were accomplishing, went up to
their place of meeting; the vast assembly
was composed Of two of our hottest Aboli-
ton ''fireeaters'' and one Democrat-the
latter they were trying to convert. They
labored until near midnight, when the De-
mocrat having vanquished them in every
argument, they left for parts unknown and
have not been heard of since. The Rcpub-
licans hint that they will send for that
converted" Democrat C"Reformed" they
call HIM to come and help them secure
this refractory chap of Sperry. advise
the converted" to bring along bottle Of

HEAD OFF.-The Editor of this paper is
removed from the Post Office at this place.
Cause-Too much DOUGLAS and JOHN
son. LUTHER H. PACKARD, Esq, is the
appointee. Mr.. PACKARD will doubtless
make good officer. He has not yet quail
fled. AS the Office is the property of the
Administration we have no complaint to
make against the Government, for the re-
moval. We could not be its party servant
and our discharge was in accordance with
its policy. We have seen q paper signed
by very large majority Of our best
business citizens, protesting against the
manner of our removal and crediting us
with official uprightness while in the charge
of the mails. This is a compliment which
we value much higher than the approval of
any Administrat ton.

For the Times.
Speeches..


Speeches.
Dear Times :-McGregor has been pecul-
iarly edited, of late, in the way Of political
speeches. On the evening of the Congress
sional Convention at Prairie du Chen, Judge
Crawford, G. B. Smith and Hyatt Smith,
of Wisconsin, addressed the people of this
place at Mozart Hall. The room was dense.
ly crowded but the speakers were listened
to with marked attention. The most of the
time was occupied by G. B. Smith who
made an eloquent and powerful appeal to
the reason and judgement of his audience;
his speech left an impression which cannot be
eftaced by the most ingenious sophistry the
opposition can possibly bring to bear against
it. He made some happy illusions to the
great champion of popular rights which
were enthusiastically applauded--while the
parallel which he drew between the two
main political organizations of our country,
evinced thorough knowledge of every po-
ltical movement from the foundation of the
government up to the present time. In the
parallel SO closely drawn, and the positions
of the respective parties so graphically de-
scribed, Mr.. Smith showed conclusively
that the doctrine of Popular Rights" and
"Non-Intervention by Congress, ~ as
enunciated by Stephen A. Douglas and ad-
vocated by all conservative men, underlies
the great superstructure Of our government
and the doctrines of the Democracy are
destined to become the controlling princi-
Piles Of this nation irrespective of party or
CARNATIONS. "..
The Democrats of McGregor were well
satisfied with the representatives of Democ-
racy, from Wisconsin, and should they visit
us again they will receive cordial welcome.
On Saturday evening R. Noble, Esq, and
Judge Baugh had discussion Of a very
interesting character. Mr.. Mobiles speech
did credit to himself and the cause which
he advocates, and if he were only on the
right track and engaged in a righteous
cause he would prove highly efficient as a
political stump speaker. BY the way,-as
he does not altogether like TRANSMITS"
reports Of political discussions, Propose to
"Deal gently with the erring,"
and award him his just need of praise
1t is universally conceded that the Esq is
eminently shrewd and sharp, but when he,
or any one else, meets Judge Baugh in po-
litical controversy he will always find him
EARNED and equipped as the law directs"
The Judge does not 60 into discussion
without an array of stubborn facts which
his opponents find are rather formidable to
encounter. On the evening in question he
was armed with some powerful documents,
which the shrewdest sophistry of Esq. No
BILE could not get around, hence, the Judge
sustained his positions admirably and came
off unscathed. Each gentleman INDUCED
in satire, at the others expense, but that
was merely thrown in as spice to relieve the
dullness and monotony of documentary ar
guments.
Democracy is still at premium notwith-
standing the Herculean efforts of the oppo-
sition to misrepresent our positions and
falsify ourrecord. The Democracy of Iowa
may hold up their heads, for "Behold the
day Of your redemption draweth nigh"
