Owing to tho over crowded condition of

culogics pronounced upon deceased editors,

of the order, etc. The convention will
hold its next session at La Crosse.
A priamry meeting of Minnesota cdi-

to consider the proprety of forming state
editorial association. Some twelve or fiji.
teen papers were represented. Committees
on permanent organization, schedule Of
prices for job work and advertising were
appointed, and the convention adjourned to
meet in ST. Paul, on the third Wednesday
of October next.

4 great many persons are writing
letters to Washington, from all parts Of the
. country just now, asking Republican Sena-
tors and Representatives, "W hat policy are
we to uphold in the approaching campaign:
What shall we put into the platform ?
What is the policy of the Administrations"
and so forth, and so forth. - Washington
CORES. Chicago Tribune.
Why is there so much questioning as to
what policy is to be upheld by political
parties in the approaching campaign! Why
for the very good reason that there is no
question before the country, but that of the
life or death of the American Union. 1t
is no wonder that the honest yeomanry Of
the land are in doubt as to what they shall
have to dispute about. They can find
nothing, and look to Congress for some
thing on which they can make an issue.
Why array the loyal people Of the North
in party antagonisms? We will tell you,
honest citizens Of Iowa, there are five or
six State officers and as many members Of
Congress t. be elected, and there are six or
seven aspiring individuals up for each Of
fec, and anxious to fill it. That's what's
the matter
There arc no issues to quarrel about. Sc
the Republicans will Resolve that the
Union shall be maintained, and invite al
loyal men to unite with them in the great
work, and the Democrats will Resolve that
the Union shall never be destroyed, and
call on all Union men to help them defend
it. That is what the issue will be. Ride
ulous? OF course it is. But, if you value
your reputation, dear reader, stick to you,
party. Better be dead than be turn coat
A dispassionate man would say, why
quarrel over distractions? Both parties
are for the government, the constitution
and the laws, and why not mass the col
umns, put the best men of the country il
official position, and roll up united yot
for the Union, now and forever?
Think Of it, and don't be bamboozled by
these party men.
