A Precious Document.

The Democrats of this vicinity, and
indeed throughout the State, are cir
culating speech recently delivered
in Congress by VIM. A. Richardson of
Illinois. 1t is precious document,
Astounding in the ordinary sccesh
slang" abolition" negro equality"
&c. The State of Illinois was lately
flooded with this speech for the pur-
pose of carrying the new constitution,
but the Democrats lost the election by
an overwhelming majority. Whether
our Iowa Democrats arc expecting to
vote for that constitution or not, VIC
arc not advised, but we are sure Rich
ardson's speech will make no converts
to the Democracy in this latitude. The
people, the honest masses, arc too in
telligcnt and know too we'll the polit-
ical character Of the author and his
secesh coadjutors. Look at them !:
In Congress they have voted unanani-
mously against conliscating the prop
crty of the leading rebels to reimburse
the loyal States, in Part, for the ex-
penses Of the war. They have voted
Unanimously against the disqualify-
ing bill, which prohibits rebels, who
have ever held office and violated
their oath to support the constitution
of the Uni,ed States, from holding
office and violating the same oath
hereafter.
They have voted nearly unanimous.
y against the resolution authorizing
our armies, so far as expedient, to be
subsisted Oh the enemy. Whenever a
proposition has come up to punish re-
bellion, or to make it expensive, or to
make rebels divide the cost of the war
with loyal people, they have been
firmly against it. The record prores all
This. The yeas and nays are lying in
wait to confound them. The fact that
many Democrats are in the army.
fighting the battles of the Union, only
proves that they are better men than
those who represent them in Congress.
1t should be borne in mind, also, that
one of their number (Bright) has been
expelled for treason, that two others,
Ben Wood and Stark. are arraigned
for the same crime, and another ("thc
heroic Vallandigham") ought to be.

The Congressional Nomination.

Since it became kown that Gov
Faville would consent to be a candi
date for Congress in this District, pro.
vided he should be the choice of the
Convention, the tide has been setting
strongly in his favor. 1t was at frs,
supposed, by many, that the state OF
his health would not permit him to
perform the campaign labor which
would be rcquired of him, and that
he would not accept the nomination il
rendered him. But since it became
known that lie would acccdc to the
wishes of his friends in regard to inc
and that nc is in more
vigorous health how ihan at any for
mcr period for years, there appears to
be great unanimity, especially in the
Northern counties. in the opinion that
he should be the candidate. Indeed,
we do not hear of any opposition to
him whatever.
1t is well known that Dubuque pre-.
sents several candidates for the Con.
gressional nomination, promincn,
among whom are Mr.. Adams and Mr.
Allison. We are assured, however
that if the Northern portion of the
District presents a candidate, neither
of these latter gentlemen will consent
to the use Of their names. They
frankly concede that the North.
thcrn part of the District is entitled
to the nomination. We judge, then,
that the way is pretty clear for Gov
Faville. If nominated, he will be
most triumphantly elected. He will
put into the canvass all the zeal, la:
Dor, money, and campaigning general.
ly, which the most ardent politicians
may desire, and yet this would hardly
be necessary to secure success.

The National Tax.

The National Tax Bill which has
passed both Houses of Congress, and
only awaits the signature Of the Pre-
sident to become a law, marks not
only another stage in the legislative
history of the war, but is destined to
fix an epoch in our civil annals. Hith-
erto the people of the United States
have enjoyed an immunity from taxa
ton which has made their happy lot
an exceptional case among the great
nations of the civilized world. The
exigencics Of war have changed the
situation of the country in this re.
spcct, and we shall hereafter take our
rank among the people who pay, in
burdens of heavy taxation, the price
of institutions preserved by the sword.
The unanimity with which this tax
bill has been passed by Congress, and
the alacrity with which the loyal pco-
pie of the nation have bowed their
backs to assume the impending bur.
den, are significant Of the spirit and
determination with which the Govern
ment and the people have entered on
the great contcst.-National Inteiligen-

Who shall be Our Congressman a.?

The selection of a candidate for
Representative in Congress, is one of
the most important duties devolving
on the loyal voters of this Congress
sional District. 1t is needless to con-
ceal the fact, that the enemies of the
Government will make desperate
effort to elect a man of the Vallandig-
ham stripe, or at least one whom Ma
honey and his friends can control, and
whose acts can be nodded to suit
their tastes. If the efforts Of open
enemies aided by pretended friends,
can defeat the loyal candidate, it will
be done and the first qualification of
the man to be selected by the conven-
ton, after fitness for the office, is that
degree of popularity which will Sc
cure the highest number of votes.
AS to the location Of the candidate,
we care but little. Probably nearly
every county could bring forward
man well qualified for the Office but
yet it might be difficult to convince
the people of that fact. They want
a man already well known to be en-
dowcd with all the necessary qualifi-
cations one whose public life gives
abundant proof Of ability, honesty
and integrity, and whose private life
is without q blcmish. Such candi-
date the Northern part of the District
can present in the person of Hon.
DRAM FAvlL1E, of Mitchell County.
Perhaps no man can be found who
has occupied responsible public sta
tons, that possesses so strong hold
on the confidence of his constituents.
His public life as Lieutenant Govern
or is too well known to need any re-
marks, and such is the purity Of his
private life that he enjoys the highest
esteem of oil who have the pleasure
of his personal acquaintance. Such
is his unbounded personal popularity
that nearly every man Of both parties
in his own county, We are assured,
would give him their votes. Unless
q stronger man, and one equally well
qualified, can he presented to the PEG.
pie, We hope to see Mr.. Faville, the
nominee Of the convention.-NeU

The Seward-LyOnS Treaty.

The reader will find in another part
of to-day's intelligencer an official
copy Of the Seward-Lyons Treaty, of

For Secretary of State.

1t appears to be pretty generally
understood throughout the State, that
Hon. Z. g. Bowdoin, Of this county,
will receive the nomination for Secrc.
tary Of State. Charley Aldrich is his
most formidable competitor, but we
find that large portion of the South
ern counties will 60 for Mr.. Bowdoin.
Their support alone would almost
give him the nomination, but the
strong and united support which he
will receive from the most populous
counties here in the North will make
a sure thing Of it. Dir. Wright of
Delaware county, and M. l.. McPhcr-
son of Madison county, will each re-
ceiye complimentary votes from
friends in their immediate vicinity

Senator Grimes and the Tax Bin.

All the secession sympathizers in
the country are bowling at Senator
Grimes because he said that he would
not vote to take up the tax bill until
the governments should have announc-
ed policy for the prosecution of the
war. The question before the Senate
VIXEN this very just and appropriate
remark was made, was whether the
confiscation bill should be postponed
to take up the tax bill. In other words
whether the proposition to tax loyal
citizens should take precedence of the
proposition to tax rebels. Mr.. Grimes
said that he was for taxing rebels
first, and loyal citizens afterwards.
He went for making JEFF. Davis and
his fellow murdercrs pay the expense
Of the war as far as possible, and
then taking the loyal States for the
remainder. And for this patriotic
idea he is being branded not only all
ever Iowa, but wherever there is a
newspaper, or man, who thinks that
a Southern secessionist is worthy of
more consideration than a Northern
man whose sons are in the Union ar
my, and whose money is taken to SUP
port the war.
So much for the vote. The remark,
about which there has been such a
fuss, is as follows:
~ am not 90 anxious to tax the people
whom in part represent until l have some
distinct definition of the policy laid down by
the President of the United States. and by
those who are in authority in the government
There are a great many other bills equally de-
serving our attention." etc.
Mr.. Grimes proceeded to specify the
pension bill, to provide for the widows
and orphans of the slain soldiers, and
other measures which, together with
the confscation bill, he deemed of
equal Importance with the tax bill
He did not say, and he never intima-
ted, that he would not vote for the tax
bill when it should finally come up for
action. In fact he did vote for the
tax bill, and has been one of the few
Senators, aside from the members Of
the committee on finance, who have
remained in their seats and attended
closely to Inc public business while
the tax bill had been pending. We
think that both his remarks and vote
on the above occasion were commend
able.

JEFF. Davis Early History.

Der of years in q log cabin situated in
what is now the town Of Fairyiew.
twelve miles from Hopkinsville, XIV.
The house is now weatherboarded and
used an a tavern. Old Davis was
man Of bad character, a horse trader,
a swindler, and Of very low habits.
On one occasion q fine horse was mis-
sing in the neighborhood and the old
man found it convenient to fec into
the State Of Mississippi. JEFF. Davis
is his illcgitimatc son, born some
miles distant from his fathers house,
and taken home by him when several
years of age. These arc notorious
facts. Some of Davis relatives still
live in that part Of Kentucky. We
would never have alluded to this sinister
bar OH Jeff's escntcheon, were not his
friends continually prating about

Important Legal Decision.

The Supreme Court of Iowa has just
delivered one Of the most important
decisions ever made. We allude to
the decision on the validity of County
subscriptions to stock in railroad com.
panies. The case just decided was
entitled "The State, on the relation,
etc., of the Burlington and Missouri
Railroad Company vs.. the County Of
Wapello." The point decided is, that
the General Assembly has never con-
ferred, and has not the power to con-
fer, upon the counties of this State the
right to issue bonds in payment for
stock in railroad companies, and that
such bonds are invalid.

The blnnder at Port Republic which
permitted Jackson to escape, rests up
on Gen. Shields and Colonel Carroll.
Shields says he ordered Carroll to
burn the bridge. Carroll says he has
shields written order to hold the
bridge at all hazards. The result was
that the enemy took the bridge from
Carroll, crossed over and escaped. A
large lumber of officers have signed
an address to the Secretary of War,
demanding Shields removal and char
cling him with incompctency if not
disloyalty. The Western officers cou-
ccrncd are particularly bitter towards
him. The fact that the Senate has
refused to confirm Gen. Shields nomi-
nation as Major General seems to
clinch the grave charges against him.

permitted to lie day after day in sight
of its walls, exposed to the sun or

When first urged to take Lees house
for hospital, the President said that
Mcclellan objected, because he had
promised Gen. Lee that the house
should be protected, but when Mr..
Lincoln heard how our soldiers were
without shelter, except such as is az

compelled to drink impure water, he
said, "the order must come-if Gen,
