The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1860-05-30

possesses an envlable reputation for in
tegrity. His nomination is also cordially
received, and with such ticket there is
no such word as fail. Everything tends
to insure us glorious victory.
The State and Congressional Tickets.
GS- In to-day's paper will be found
the proceedings of the Republican State
and District Conventions, held last week
at Iowa City, and it will be seen there
from that both Conventions were large,
harmonious and enthusiastic. Most of
the nominees on the State Ticket are
familiar to our readers, as they are the
present incumbents of the offices for
which they are now candidates. They
have fulfilled their trusts faithfully, and
so far as we have heard, not a word of
complaint has ever attached itself to
them, relative to the performance OF their
official duties. Mr.. SELLS, who leads the
ticket, has already served two terms, but
has proven himself so acceptable an Off
Ger, and is so universally popular as a
man, that his denomination was insisted
on by the large majority of the Conven-
vention, notwithstanding the doctrine of
rotation is generally conceded to be the
proper one for a party. Mr.. SELLS has
great elements Of strength, and will GER
tainly be elected by a greater majority
than any State officer has heretofore re-
ceived in Iowa.
Mr.. CATTELL has all of the straight
forward honesty Of the Quaker stock from
which he sprung. No man, when he
was in the Legislature, more fully COM
manded the confidence of his fellow
members. of both parties, than he-no
mans opinion was more frequently con-
sulted-no mans honesty more fully ac-
knowledged than his. These qualities
pointed him out as the man peculiarly
fitted for the auditing officer Of the State
AS just the man to protect the treasury
from the leeches that are always ready
to extract its substance. The result has
shown the wisdom Of the selection, and
the public confidence in Mr.. CATTELL's
integrity and capacity, is to-day full and
undoubted. The party could not dc
otherwise than re-nominate him.
Mr.. JONES and Mr.. MILLER, as Treas
urer and Register, have also secured the
full confidence of the people. No word
of complaint has been made against them,
and the unanimity with which they were
renominated, was but reflection of the
general estimate of their worth as officers
We have no fears respecting their re cleo
ton.
For Attorney General, new name has
been presented, the old incumbent de.
clining a reelection. Mr.. NouRsE is said
to be one of the most promising lawyers
in the State, already occupying for
ward position at the bar. He is an in
dustrious student, an excellent pleader
and has the ambition, talent and energy
to fulfill we'll the duties of the post for
which he has been nominated. Person
ally he is very popular, and as politi
cal stumper is said to be the equal Of any
man in the State.
Col. WARREN, J. H. CHAPLINE, M. l.
MCPHERSON and CHAs. PoMRoY, are the
electors, and we say advisedly that bet
ter selection could hardly have been
made. They are all fine speakers, and
will undoubtedly do good work in the
canvass.
We need only say that Hon. VIM
VANDEvER has been re-nominated fol-
Member Of Congress of this district, to
have the choice ratified by every Repub-
lican of Buchanan county. Mr. VAN
DEvER has been faithful to the interests
of his constituents thus far, being al.
ways in his seat, and voting right upon
every division. The speech he delivered
in April last was very favorably noticed
by correspondents of Eastern papers
and, undoubtedly, with greater expert
ence, he will become, as has his colleague,
Mr.. CURTIS, one of the most useful and
respected members of the House. His
unanimous nomination, considering the
fact that he had asked no man to sup
port him, was 8 distinguished compi-
ment, but was fully deserved.
EE- The action Of the Southern sece-
ders from the Charleston Convention has
apparently met the full appreciation Of
their constituents, as appears from re-
ports of meetings held in the South, and
it must now be fully apparent to the most
