PASS CHESTER AROUND.

We ask the Republican Press Of this Con-
ercssional District to notice the fact that at
Kcokuk the home Of Col. Curtis, he out of
courtesy waived his right to open and close
the discussion, and that n. Des Moines, the
home of Mr.. Cole, the Col. again would
have had the opening and closing according
to the published list but Chester acquired
it By a sharp dodge that no truly honorable
man would take advantage Of that, putting
in an incidental meeting, thus changing the
important point 10 the district. Col. Curtis
has never failed to attend one Of Coles ap-
pointments and has given him all the advan-
tage that he could obtain by it. And we
ask them further to notice that the Col. has
never made any such appointments until
few DAYS ago when Cole asked the privilege
Of holding an extra meeting in Guthrie
county: the effect Of which was to deprive
the Col. of his right of opening and clos
lag at Coupcil B!u!fs, when he, thinking As
h had a right to that, that game had been
PLAYED long enough told Cole that if he at
tended bis Meeting in Guthrie he should ask
him (C0le) to meet him in Calhoun in this
county, and it was then agreed that both
meetings should BE- held. Col. Curtis at
tended Coles meeting, the immortal Ches-
ter of Salt River notorety failed to come up
to his word at Calhoun, and with all the
assurance iInmaginable be availed himself
of his wroncfuly obtained privilege and
opened this discussion at Council Bluff.
Col. Curtis ike true gentleman rs he is
would not speak at Calhoun as Cole was not
there to answer him.-Maqaolid RepubH-

CO There are now but two parties in the
Presidential contest, the Republicans on
the one hand. and the Disunionisfs on the
other. Mr.. Douglas is as much out of the
question, rs if be were ont Of the world.
Mr.. Bell is beyond the reach Of possible
success. The Republican victories just
achieved will have the effect, un!oubtcdlv,
Of consolidating the South upon Breekin-
ridge, the only representative OF that section.
The Slave question there will override every
other; and no man who is not ready to do
or die for Slavery stands no more chance
for the votes Of the South than the shos, Of
John Brown.
In the emphatic language Of the Philadel-
phia Press, then, We say:
"Ersry fuison in the Free States is cal
cnlated, # not intended, to promote the
election Of John c. Breckinridge," and can
produce no other result, 10 the existing state
Of the political canvass.
Are '.old Line Wings" prepared for this?
And will the friends Of Douglas also sacri-
fee their iao!?

TO THE PUBLIC.
The excitement prevailing ia political
80. il relation 10 the alleged alterations
r. ~. ,st.rns from the Fourth Ward. IN

o., of RESPECT to the pablic, and the
fr;soa. xho 80 earnestly supported me 10
,hs canvass. 20 make this brief statement,
lac. f.I.e Impressions prejuticiai to me aaa
tho cause represented, may Dc MADE:
tn. ,s,nrns announced On the night Oh
e.. .ss.,;nn from the several erection poi!s
~ ,bs T;r,, Congressiona! District, as Is
usual and according 10 Law, eies.ea me W
considerable majority. The DIVISION re-
turns fled next morning IN tne ONCE VI sn ~
proshonotary, gave Mr.. Lehman . ema''
majority. ,s,,
these division returns werenos true returns
of the votes cast fo, the candidates io'
Congress, and resolved TO contest them;
and 50 expressed ms self 10 nv friends.
At the meeting of the return Judges on
FRIDAY las, i, was decided that had a nv
iori,y of one hundred and nine'y-eight vttes
IN the district. and, 10 accordance with that
decision, the certificates prescribed by law,
we're duly executed, deposited anu trans
mittsd.
The decision Of that body at that time is
FINAL and conclusive, so far a. certificate
of election can be made; and IL IS not with
in the control Of myself, if desired to do
so, or Of nv opponent to alter It.
As 10 the alleged false returns from the
Fourth Ward. made TO the return judges on
Friday morning last, know nothing what
ever. am willing to afford Mr.. Lehman
aud his friends full opportunity for thorough
and to agree that ali the bal
lot boxes Of the district shall be taken be-
fore the proper authorities, and the ballots
counted, being satisfied that co'ree' count
of the vote will give me greater majority
than tba. given me by the return Judges.
As the certificates Of my election have
been granted by the body alone authorized
by law, | cannot, in justice to myself, to my
friends, or to my principles, 90 anything
