The Republican state Conven,,on.


we print in another column the call of ths
COMMITTEE for a Republican State Convention
II Is unnecessary for us to define our position.
Our views have been frequently expressed and
are well understood. But for the course taken
by the corrupt leaders of the Democratic party
VINO control its organization, and who sympa
thize with rebellion, we would say hold no dis
t'nctive Republican Convention But these
men, long ago discarded by the people for their
venality and subseryiency to the leaders in this
rebellion, are determined to thrust themselves
upon US as no party candidates, or else organ
i1e the Democratic party in opposition to the
Administration and the War; The alternative
is presented of taking the Halls, the Johnsons,
the Duncombes, the Mahoneys and their co.
workers, or of making separate nominations. s.-
underno circumstances can we fellow ship these
men. There is no honesty or loyalty in them.
As We believe. Under these circumstances, be.
lieving that the Convention, when it assemblies,
Will adopt no platform to drive from US patriotic
citizens of other parties who think Iowa should
present an unbroken front in this crisis, we place
the call before our readers, trusting that liber-
al and patriotic course will be pursued Parties
and party leaders are Of no consequence. We
want the best and ablest men in the State for
State officers. 1t is Of but little consequence
what their former political associations have
been, SO they are honest, faithful and capable
Give US good men on the Bell platform.

FAIRFIELD, June l4th, 1861

Mr.. Editor In the columns of the Clarion l
fad a defense made OF the representatives from
that county, also very severe attack on the
Hawk-Eye. have just returned from Davis
County, and,ias l told you in one article, Don.
lazy and Hotchkiss mis,epresented their constitu-
ency. conversed with many prominent Dem
ocrats and all say they repudiate them, while
they fully endorse Senator Bussey. I now say
Davis County will not re.elect these represen.
tatives, but send men from there who are sound
and true on the war question. The editor has,
in his article, condemned Mr.. Bussey's course,
and, merely through partisan feeling, is trying
to shield these men from the bitter indignation
of the people. But the "simple"-minded man
has undertaken a thing he can never accomplish.
He has also abrogated the doctrine of the great
leader of Democracy, (Mr. Douglas who boldly
and eloquently advocated, to his last hour, i'm
mediate and decisive action by our Government,
and at any expense of money and of men. He
has always been supporter of the policy of Mr.
D.; why now turn and condemn Does he
sympathize with jeff Davis and his rebels p
Would he, like many in the South and few
in the North, advocate neutrality ? or at the
sacrifice of loyalty buy compromise with trail
tors? To save few dollars would he see
trailed in the dust that emblem of our country,
the stars and stripes? What would he do? IF
he is not with US, he is against us and unless he
boldly maintains prompt and efficient course,
he sells his honor for mess of pottage.

How strangely shifts the balance of power in
these eventful times! A few years ago Britain
vas BY general consent, "mistress Of the seas, .
,odaynot only is France her rival for that proud
di.siuction, but the United States have devel.
oped a capacity to distance both. We speak
no, Of actual ships, cannon and men, but of tho
capacity to bring them into existence and action
20 the full requirements Of the most protracted
ur. It is obvious that in this lies the chief

or consumed BY FIRE, while the producing capac.

Of liberty remain. .-5 s.a ="
Ia this last respect the world has not nation
tia. can compare with us. The people that in
1872 could build large ship in three weeks, could
row in 1861 build large navy in six months
Ne have within ourselves everything required
%. ii. Our forests give the oak, our skilled me.
chsnics the labor, our foundries the armaments,
and our fisheries the crews. Though we have
never made any pretensions to the rank of
naval power, our present condition will bear com.
,,ri.on with the marine Of Great Britain. Turn
ips to .McCullough's Statistics of the British
Empire, we find her total tonnage 4, 4,424, SEA
The "united States reports on commerce and
nnasion" gives ours at 4 1885, ,440. Both sta
tisscs relate to the same year, 1852.
As to population and resources, we have a
rester population than England, Ireland and
io,land all together, ten times their coast line,
our times their fisheries, seas as stormy and
men as hardy, as the mariners whose name is
,be synonym Of victory. The mineral resour.
ss at our command are inexhaustible. No
blockade could ever cut US off from any of the
materials Of war.
OF this capacity little can be claimed by the
South. The marine of the Slave States is but
fraction of the tonnage which in 1858 had reach
.l the enormous amount Of 5,050,000.

The U.r,. Uncon.querable "a, v,rs,n,.n.. y m. +,

We have often been told that the Southern
Rebels were unconquerable-irrep
would fight till the last gasp and would never
give in-that one of them could lick from two to
six Northern men &c. By way of illustrating
these assertions we give. from q correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette, who was on the ground
few items of the affair at Philppi
Our forces, and other eye witnesses of the affair,
declare that the rebels we're in too great a hurry
about taking to their heels to wait for their
clothes. Hundreds Of gallant chivalry, it is pos
itivey averred, started of at full gallop, attired
in but single garment. In fact, .the boys'per.
sist in giving the affair but two names: :he one,
'The Phillippi Races" and the other, "The
Shirt Tail Retreat." Farmers living half doz-
en- miles or more south Of Phillippi, have since
come in with the statement that the brave cav.
alters came up to their doors begging for a pair
of breeches to cover their nakednesc, whilst one
man insists that tier con,n,dnder, Col Porter
