Of Linn County, will be an Independent
Union candidate for Congress, if not
nominated BY the Democratic Conven-
ton. Bob may be all right on tho Uni
on. but otherwise he won't do to bet on.
He is or was, We believe, in favor Of
compromising with the traitors. to pacify
them. The Republican candidate will
be sound on the Union question. but will
oppose the surrendering Of vital princi-
pies to sppease rebel robbers. Other
masters besides the Union will engage
the attention of Congress, and Kansas
wants Representative who is right on
