OUR CANDIDATES..


, There is but one Union party in Iowa, an
it is solemn duty every slcctor owes to hi
country, to support the nominees ofthat par
ty at the election which is close at hand.-
They should be supported not merely becaus
they are Republicans, but because they or
the representatives Of the only party in thi
State pledged to the suppression ofthe rebel
lion, and the support Of the Government ii
the measures it adopts for preserving the lif
of the nation. Our nominees for Congress
ional, State and County officers are men triet
and true, and every patriot should stand firm
to their support. We place them in the fielt
upon no other issue than that of devotion t.
to the country. AS the lamented Dousla.
said, during the continuance Of this war there
can be but two parties, Patriots and Trait
ors. Our party represents the former on,
opponents the latter. There is proof Of this
in the fact that you cannot find an uncondi
tional Union men in the whole State but will
support the Republican ticket; neither dc
you know Of a rebel sympathiser in your
midst but will support the ticket of our op.
ponents. The names of our candidates fol
State officers are so familiar to our readers,
that we do think it worthwhile to refer to
each individual in particular. They are able
men, loyal men, deserving, and we trust will
receive, the ballots of all who desire to see
the Union restored, the Constitution prcserv.
ed inviolste, and our outraged laws vindica.

Judge A. w. Hubbard, Of Sioux City, eur
candidate for Congress in this District, is one
Of the ablest men in the State. He is law
yer Of eminent ability, possessed Of vigor-
orous and cultivated intellect, and is forci-
bic and eloquent speaker, and is in every re.
spect capable of worthily filling the respon.
sible position for which he has been nomina-
ted. He believes that the integrity Of this
Republic must be preserved; that those who
are in arms against it must be obliged to de-
sist from their reasonable undertaking. II
traitors will not return to their allegiance vol
unfairly, he would coerce them into obedience
to the laws by all the forces justified by the
inexerable laws of wal he would assault
treason where it is weakest, and would cortii-
ally support tho administ, alton in every meas
ure it shall adopt to secure the safety of he
nation. With him everything will be Sec
ondary to the preservation of the Union, the
unfolding Of the administration and the en-.
forcement Of the laws. Such is the man We
present for your suffrages. Work thorough
ly and theoretically for bis success, and his
election is certain.
James Burt, Esq, of Dubuque, is our can.
didats for District Judge. In abiding to
him we cannot do better than give the annex.
ed extract, which ~ clip from the Buchanan
County Guardian ,..-.... ..-.
Understanding thoroughly the principles
and theory of Jurisprudence, we'll read, ~ he
is reported, upon statutory law, he cannot
fail to make = most excellent and critical
Judge. He was most highly regarded As q
lawyer in Western New York, has the expe-
rience of the practice of long life, is an es-
timaEle man in daily life, and seems 10 US
every way worthy Of the dignified position
for which he is named. He has all the can
dor which Judge Wilson lacks; he has none
of the arts of the politician and dcmagogue
which Judge Wilson in so great a degree
possesses. For the interest and credit Of the
District it is to be hoped that Mr.. Burt may
be elected" .. . ....-...
For District Attorney We hayc Geo. Wat
son, Esq, of Delhi, an able lawyer, skilled
in logic, and withal pleasant and forcisle
speaker He would bring to the discharge Of
his duties honesty, capability and energy
He is likewise temperate and moral in all his
habits, and in this respect is just the reverse
of his opponent who is a very dissipated man.
From our acquaintance with Mr.. Watson we
arc led to believe that he is a man who WOO
honor the office. lie will be elected if We do
our duty. .... ..l- ...
For Clerk of the District Court we present
the name of Dcmp. j. Coleman, the present
incumbent, who was unanimously rs-nsmin-
ated by reclamation for the office he has so
worthily filled for tho past two years. Even
his opponents can find no objection to urge
against him, unless it be that he does not
swear by Mahony. A wel-read lawyer, who
has enjoyed large practice, he is familiar
with the forms of law, an important qualifi-
cation in this Office. The ability, fidelity and
zeal with which he has discharged the duties
of his office in the past, are guarantees for
the future which the people are willing to &C.
ccpt. But the people of this County are 50
well acquainted with him that it is not nee
essary for us to speak further of him and his
claims. His election will be nearly as unan.
imous as his nomination.
