Getting his Deserts.

A correspondent of the IIawkcyc,
writing from Des Moines, tells how
certain Democratic" blackguard was
rebuked by his brethren, as follows
After the nomination of G. G. Cole,
for Congress, in the Democratic Con.
vcntion, yesterday, j. A. Williamson,
late Democratic candidate for County
Judge, in this county, arose in his
place in the Convention, and desired
to explain his opposition to the nomi-
nation of Mr. Cole lie had under
stood that Mr.. Cole was one of the
proprictors of the State journal, and
exercised a controlling influence over
its columns. He had just been in
formed that such was not the fact, and
he acished TO sag that the information had
raised Cole IN his esteem, at least one hun.
dred per cent. One Sample, of keokuk,
late Mayor of that goodly city, here
upon produced and read a letter which
Mr.. Cole had addressed to them, dis
claiming any connection with, or res
lponsibility for the course of the Journ-
al. Mr.. Sample deemed it due to MIR.
Cole that the people should have his
disclaimer of any connection with that
sheet. Stil(Dson wished to be heard

the Convention very reluctantly yield
ed to his supplication. He mounted
the platform, said penitentially that
he was not an original Douglas man,
but since he had been nominated by
9 the Baltimore Convention, he was sup
porting him. He bowed to the will OF
the Convention, and asked, is not
that Democratic is not that Demo
cratic is not that Democratic !! y
Stil( son took his seat and the Con
vention adjourned.
In the evening a resolution was
passed to the Secretary endorsing the
journal. 1t was read, and upon the
suggestion of some one, q understand
it was Sample, was laid upon the ia
bic by general consent, without either
a motion or vote. This morning
StilODson called at the Des Moincs
House and encountered Sample, where
upon he informed him that he was "n'
gentleman" Sample, instead of thank

a Every one anticipates excellent re
