The Convention Tomorrow.

the representatives Of the con-
servatiye and patriotic masses of Black Hawk
County meet in Convention at Waterloo,
casting aside all past political associations
and turning their back upon cherished party
ties, to put in nomination. candidates for coun-
ty officers. The object is not to secure po-
ltical performance for either the Republi
can or Democratic party. The good and true
men of both political parties will mecton the
same platform, and that platform Our Coun-
try,--and put in nomination men who shall
fairly represent the minds Of nine teAths of
the voters of the county. The nominees will
not be representatives of particular clique
whose highest ambition it is to fattcn at the
public crib,--and to accomplish which they
would forfeit country, and hare .toyteited sa-
cred honor, ignored the rightful and just dues
of the county at large, and proved by their
course that they are unworthy the support
of honest and patriotic men,, With the poo-
pie at large it is,-our Country first; with
the clique referred to, it is,--our most mighty
highnesses first, every time, Country second,
and may the Devil take the .hinder.nost.-
That is just about the policy that actuates
the clique which the Convention that meets
tomorrow will be called upon to rebuke, and
hurl into that political obscurity which it de-
serves. .,.,,, r..,... ..4. a. .tWu
Who the candidates will be, we are unable
at this time to state. But that they will be
good men and true, and that the various parts
of the county will be fairly represented. we
have no doubt. We do not know of a single
prominent influential man in the county but
that gives this movement his hearty support
and influence. From present indications the
vote which the ticket of the 9th will receive
will be one such as is usually designated in
election returns as scattering" 49,

For the VaLcttc.
DnhufIue Association.

n The scmi-annual meeting Of this associa-
ton of Congregational ministers and delegates
was held at aQuasqueton, Buchanan Coun-
ty, last week. Theaexercises on Iuesday
evening included two or three patriotic
speeches. The idea Of anything Jess than
thorough work was not entertained, though
one or two of the speakers seemed to think
that preachers might give too much time to the
war. Whether they were in danger OF pray
ing too much for the Union, or preaching too
much for il, or reading too much about it,
or fighting too much in it, I did not under
stand. Perhaps it is not wicked to believe
that If a preacher goes little beyond the
mark Ga Ia FRENoNr) he may be forgiven for
the cause sake. ----- ..r------gr
On Wednesday, Rev. J. c. HoLBRook of

hard upon tho Churches. It may be that

ANOTHER NAVAL EXPEDITION.

New Fork. Sept. 16.-The Tribune of
this morning makes the following statement ::
We commit no improperly in announcing
that the preparations for two important
movements against the Southern coast arc
rapidly going forward, SO that the expcdi-
ton will be ready to sail in very few weeks.
In one of them the land forces will probably
be under Gen. Butler, and the other under
Brig. Gen. Sherman, who is now in com
mand of an important camp, We believe
that the number of troops Of the two expcdi-
tons will be about 10000. haE' l... T.

in the handwriting and aided and allotted by
one DR.. L. o. Edwards of Dubuque, Iowa.
To start with, will simply say that anyone
who says that Col. Williams has been inca
pacitated from duty, through the effects of
liquor, lies AS to the other charges they
amount to nothing, being wholly untrue
One signature to the paper was affixed with
out the knowledge and in the absence of the
owner. On his return he wrote to the Col
onel denying all completely with the affair.
Three others have already expressed ch., noe
of sentiments, having acted herete' ,re ont: %
ly on Misrepresentation made bv ~ Ed.
wards and few Office seeking, unprincipled
politicians, wit. which we are ike many
other re@.mcntc, cursed. Increasingly and
un,rilgly. have certain parties labored to
an end, and that end seems to them ap-
Preaching. But yilany cannot always sue
coed. The grand finale will soon be perform
cd, and the diScredit of the whole affair will
attach to where it properly belongs. Con-
corning DR.. Edwards it is sufficient to say,
that he was under arrest for three weeks
for gross neglect of duty, and the opin-
ion of the regiment is that the excessive
use of opium and other stimuants has drv.
en- him into an carly dotagc. Newspapers in
different parts Of the State have been pressed
into the service of these parties, statements
made derogatory to the Colonel through the
agency of aspirants for better positions than
they now occupy, stories have been retailcd
ere this upon the street corners of Dubuque,
and simple justice to deeply injured man,
one who in bravery, integrity, and all the at
tributes of true, and honorable gentleman,
a faithful and gallant officer. is as much above
those who seek to injurc him, as heaven is
above hell. Simple justice TO Col. Williams
demands that the truth be known, and this
matter set in its proper light. 1t has been
extensively circulated through some portions
Of the country, and it is time the locality
where the Colonel and his friends reside,
should be acquainted with the matter also.
A message has just come in and we may
receive marching orders in few minutes, SO
will close. | will not be as tedious next
time, unless there is occasion to chronicle
more dishonorable acts.
