Abraham Lincoln.

AIR-CblumIia, the gem Of the ocean.
Oh, Lincoln, the pride Of the prairies,
The choice of the honest and free,
Whose love for the Right never varies,
Thy country pays homage to thee!
The people re-echo the thunder
OF Liberty's soul-thrilling call;
Rebellion is bursting asunder
Beneath the strong blows OF thy maui!
Though treason with dark desolation
Has threatened the land to deform,
Brave Lincoln, the foe of oppression,
Now calamity conquers the storm.
Around him the millions that love him
Assemble their country to save, IS
And the flag Of the Union above him
Ger land undivided shall wave
The rights of Free Men and Free Labor,
Wherever our flag proudly floats
Down, down with the whip-lash and sabre
Up, up with your voices and votes !
Hurrah for the man of the prairies
His heart is the truest and best;
His love for the right never VARIES
ThUe cheers for the Son Of the West

The Supreme Judgeship.

Hon. Reuben Noble, of Clayton
county, has published a letter, declin-
ing to be candidate for Supreme
Judge, in which he says:
II shall not be candidate for the
following reasons
1st. / do not want the office.
I'd. If l wanted it / could not get
it, and l am unwilling that my friends
in the north shall expend thousands of
dollars, and much valuable time, in
making journey in force to Des
Moines, when defeat awaits them"
On this subject the McGregor News
says:
= I" On many accounts we regret this
decision. It would give us great
pleasure to support Mr.. Noble for this
position, because he is amply qualified,
and has good record. He is great
favorite in the northern counties of
this State, and the Union men of this
portion &C the State desire some recog.
milton of their claims to be we'll rep
resented on the State ticket. Never
theless we fully appreciate the force
Of his reasons, to wit: that the war
Democrats demand the nomination of
Judge Cole, (who was appointed to
fill the Vacancy and that Mr.. Noble
lives too far north to be regarded fa-
vorably by Des Moines convention.
Between Mr.. Noble and Mr.. Cole,
we have q decided preference, and
the repeated ignoring of the claims of
the strong Union counties of upper
Iowa is not calculated to produce a
very marked state of concord. There
are Gerry many acho, IN the event of Mr..
Coles nomination, aciH cote blank for that
office. We do not counsel such pro-
cecdings we regard them as disinte-
grating and highly reprehensible /; but
the honorable gentlemen who attempt
to shape tho State ticket from year to
year, and leave the strong Union coun-
ties Of this portion of the State, the
empty honor Of marching in solid
phalanx to the polls on every election
day, will sometime find that the limits
of forbearance are reached"
The DEBORAH Republic, abiding to
tho declination of Mr. Noble, uses the
following language: -. r..fs
"The southern Iowa politicians re-
mind one Of the slaveholding politi-
clans. For long years the slavedrivers
ruled US with rod of iron, using the
dough-face north as hewers of wood
and drawers of water but then
day came when the freemen revolted
from their task-masters, and we have
not the slightest doubt but that the
day is near when southern Iowa poll
ticians will find themselves left to pad
die their oarn canoe 1t is come to be
understood that no man can have
nomination on the State ticket unless
he is o member of the Clique or a
toady to it. State Conventions are
called, not to confer, deliberate and make
up by general consent a matured YER
dict, but conventions are called to
ratify what the Clique have forcor-
dained. Under a certain condition of
affairs such treatment may be endured
for length of time but circumstan-
ces are sure to alter cases, and those
changing circumstances may be near
at hand" ,.7..s.. ... ....- .....
