The Mitchell Gazette, wceps over
some little Post Office that appears to
have been suspended in that county, by
the p. NJ. General. Il looks to ms
rather hypocriticalin : party that yo-
ted against appropriations to carry the
mails, to shed crockodile tears over
the discontinuance of little Office, when
the entire country would have been
without mails Under their policy,
L. D. Ingcrsoll, is the editor Of the
iowa State Reporter, recently sold
out to the Black Republicans, Of Iowa
City. This is very appropriate; for
now he is above-or beneath Legisla-
tive censure. Last winter in the Lesis-
laturc as reporter for the Ha,ckcy,
over the signature of "Linkensalc," his
falsehoods were so malicious that the
Republican Legislature of Iowa, cons
ured him severely, and we think ex.
PEELED him from scat on the floor of
that body! II But the sanctity with
which the freedom Of the Press is main
tanned will permit Elm to run his smut
machine wherever his black and infa-
nous heart may suggest.

Palmer of the Dubuque Times,
has a correct cut of himself in the
last issue of that paper. 1t is a
jackass between two stacks Of hay
hating as to the one from which
to partake. This is probably a
Renaissance of the past, and H.
Illustrative of the time when he as
editor ofthe jamestown n. w.
Journal, stood hating between
Know Nothingism and nepubli-
canism. The jackass, however,
not unlike Palmer, seems inclined
to go where the strongest induce
ments are held out, but like Palm
er is doomed to disappointment.
Palmer joined the ">ams" in
Chatauqua county and edited their
organ, the Journal, until it came
near a terminus for want of patron
age, and he to Dubuque for the
want ofappreciation at home.
He got in the wrong bed then, and
unhappily will find h imseif in the
same fix again. :

YANDEYER AND SAAfUCLy.

/
In the Fall of 1859, in company
with several others of this place,
we attended a discussion at Deco
rah, between VIM. Vandcver and
Ben. NJ. Samuels. Mr.. Samuels
in discussing State politics, occu-
pied nearly three fourths Of an
hour. fully portraying all the ca.
lamities, and the overburdened
taxation that was sure to follow a
triumph of republicanism in the
then pending election. In regard
tothe expenses Of the State Asylum
Mr.. Samuels alleged that the enor-
nous sum of one hundred thou-
sand dollars, in addition to that
already expended upon this stu
pendous folly, would be required
for its completion. ,.....'.----Ss.T
Mr. Vandever stoutly denied
this, alleging that the sum of
! 100000 would be all that would
be required for this work
Now tax.pay ers, you are all in
terested in this question, and upon
an examination you will find the
appropriations for this work to
have exceeded even the sum that
Mr.. Samuels maintained it wonla
cost. 49,.
In the Fall of 1860, as rival
candidates for Congress they will
stump this district, when the same
audiences can again listen to
them. But what can Mr., Y.
say to the people upon the ques-
ton of State taxation: in explana-
ton of his ignorance or the wilful
falsehoods enunciated by him in
canyassing the portion Of the
State last Fall! A plea of igno.
rance as to the real state of the
affairs he wa; attempting to
enlighten the people upon, will
not be very tiattering to his ca
pacity and fitness, as the reprcsen-
tative Of the district, while any
other position that he may take
in justifyiny his statements then
made and generally believed by
the people, can only result in con-
victing him of williul misrepre-
sensations, and downright false

in hopes that it might serve as
good enough Morgan till after

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.


If there is anything more con-
clusively shown by the result of
the recent elections than another,
it is the popularity Of the princi-
pie Of popular sovereignty before
the masses. In Missouri where
the republicans were with the i'm
mense popularity Of Bates to sweep
everything, unless carried by
Breckenridge and Lane, the Re.
publican candidates are not heard
from outside of St. Louis, while
the democratic electors as en-
bodying popular sovereignty,
sweep the State by 10000 major
ity. and even in St. Louis, abo-
litionized as she is, Barrett is re-
turned to Congress for the short
term, showing conclusively, that
the confidence Of the masses re-
mains mistaken in the belief that
democratic ascendancy must pre-
ponderate in the Congress that
settles the question now agitating
the country from center to circum-
ference. There is no other n.y.
pothesis upon which to base a So
luton Of the result Of the canvass
there. It won't do to urge that
the Americans voted the. Demo-
cratic ticket. for that only shows
that the question of popular SOW
ereignty is sufficient to break up
the organization Of that party
sherc, as it is making inroads upon
Tho republican organization here
and everywhere. We expect the
republicans will see a great deal
Of strength, aye and merit too, in
b. and l., for in no other way
can they hope to retain their
strength for a day even in the
North. Yet Notwithstanding this
they keep the trightful ''bug bear
Of s'old Joe Lane" before the PEG.
pleto retain refractory repuhli.
cans, and to get weak-kneed de.
mocrats to support Lincoln and
Hamlin.
In North Carolina, the demo.
cratic ticket is elected by ever
10000 !, while the non-interven.
tionists have swept Kentucky,

are suggestive The Republican
party justifies its aggressions up
on the institutions of the South,
the inroad of the John Browns
upon Va. and the incursions of
their fanatics upon Texas, upon
the ground that the entire South
advocates the extension of slavery,
a slave code, and protection in
the territories for slavery at the
hands of Congress. EbsAs
Now the result shows conclu-
sively that Intervention for slavery
is repudiated by the South, and
intervention against slavery as
represented by Lincoln and his
abolition adhercnts, was never in
troduced there. The people re-
p.,diate intervention beth North
and South, and the more the ques-
ton is discussed, the stronger the
popular sentiment is against
the doc trine of Intervention.

Some two weeks since the Dem
ocrats of this county challenged
the Republicans to meet them in
discussion upon resolutions inyol-
wing the only issues of national
character presented to the people
in the present canvass. Below

tons Of a republican," with the
endorsement OF the erudite ed
itor of that high toned sheet, the
Republican, that our readers may
contrast them with those Of the
Democrats to be found in last
weeks paper. 1t is about as well to
discuss these resolutions as those
of the republican platform; one
set has about as much applicable
ity to the affairs ofthe american
people as the other. Still we pre-
fer not to insult the good sense of
the people of the county by Ia
king these up, instead of those
presented by the Chicago Conven
ton. The truth is the bone and
sinew of the Republican party of
this county have too much sense
to embrace any other doctrine.

they believe in the capacity OF
man for self government; they re-
pudiate the anti-democratic doc
trine enunciated by the parlia-
ment Of King George, and adopt

ty, that Parliament, or any other
legislative body elected, other
than by those for whom they seek
to act, have the right to bind the
people by their legislation. Re

SAMUEL WooDMAS, an old resident of
Dayton, Ohio, was bitten in the wrist last
September, by dog, but it soon healed,
aud he thought nothing of it until Sunday
of last week, when feeling unwell, he sent
for physician, who soon arrived, and
telling him he had the hydrophobia, ndvis-
ed him to make his will, which was done
on Monday. During most of the time
from Sunday morning till Tuesday night,
he paced the floor of his room, conversing
with his family and friends, assuring those
about him that they might approach him
without fear, rs he would not injure them.
When, to test beyond the possibility of a
doubt the nature of his disease, glass of
water was brought to him, he uttered u
most unearthly shrek, and was seized with
a terrible spasm. Mr.. Woodman was q
powerful man, and it was feared that his
sufferings would be greatly protracted. but
they were mercifully shortened, aud he
lived but three days after the development
of the fatal malady.
