Won't Back Down!

Our neighbor of the Enquirer is like the
man who said certain horse was sixteen feet
high, and, upon being questioned concerning
the statement, declared if he said feet he
would stick to it. He the Enquirer man)
reiterates his charge that Mr.. Blake, and the
Republicans who voted for his resolution in
Congress, meant to abolish slavery IN the
States and set criminals free. With his
characteristic unfairness, he says:
"Does any one suppose that this single
comma would ever have been thought of, il
the leaders Of the party had not discovered
that their real designs were expressed in the
resolution? If this correction had been made
at the time the resolution was offered, instead
OF three or four weeks after, until they had
some chance to feel the public pulse in regard
to the matter, they might have been entitled
to tho benefit of it."
The correction soas made on the first
opportunity. If our neighbor will refer to
the proceedings of Congress on the day after
Mr.. Blake introduced his resolution, he will
find the explanation in regard to the wrong
punctuation of his words. Our neighbor
proclaims his own stupidity when he says he
"cannot see how single comma is going to
alter the sense Of whole resolution" lie
has our sympathy.

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DIsrR1cr.--It is
about time call should be published for a
Republican Convention in this District, to
nominate candidate for Representative in
Congress, as the election takes place in
November next. The Congressional Central
Committee appointed at the Convention held
in Iowa City, on the 18th of June, 1858,
consisted of DR.. ]. S. Dimmitt, of Jones,
Hugh J. Campbell, of Muscatine, j. G. Stone,
of johnson, Joseph Hobson, Of Fayette, and
DR.. j. w. Taber, of Buchanan. The Chair
man, DR.. Dimmitt, has since deceased. We
suggest that the members of the Committee
confer together, and issue call for Con-
vention as soon as possible. According to
general usage, Mr.. Campbell, of this city, is
now Chairman of the Committee.
If the U. S. Census is completed in time
we shall undoubtedly be entitled to one or tw'
additional Congressman in this District. Bgt
this is matter which may be discussed
hereafter.

LAND FOR THE LANDLEss.-The black min
paper of Georgia, the Atlanta Contsdera,y,
3enounces the homestead bill of Senaor
johnson, of Tennessee, as ':full as effective
for abolitionizing the Territories as the
Squatter Sovereignty doctrine of Dougl:s,"
and says, eff this odious measure for giving
lands to the landless should become a aw,
there will be a rush of free soilers and free
laborcrs to the Territories, which would
completely and forever debar the Shareholders
of the South" There is force in the objection,
but it only demonstrates the ''irrepresible
conflict" between free and slave labor. Any
measure that is for the interest of the free
white laborers of the country is pretty certain
to be opposed by the class whose labor is
done by slaves.

~The Republicans of the House Of Rep
resentatives have passed three important
measures--the Homestead Bill, the Bill to
suppress Polygamy, and the Bill to admit
Kansas into the Union. These measures are
now pending in the Senate, where they will
probably be defeated by the pro.slavery
Democrats predominating in that body. If
they should chance to pass, it is understood
that the President will veto them. Let the
people hold those responsible who defeat these
eminently wise aud just measures.
