Political Discussion.

The joint political discussion at the
Court House on Saturday. between
Mr.. Allison and Mr. Richards, oppos-
ing candidates for Congress. called
out very large audience. The de-
bate passed off without acrimony, and
there was no disturbance on the part
Of the audience. Mr.. Richards labor
ed hard to make the worse appear the
better side. although he disclosed con-
clusively his own convictions that he
was advocating bad cause. and that
he knew his audience did not believe
him sincere. After portraying the
beauties of the constitution and our
obligations to the fugitive slave law,
he asked all to raise the hand who de-
sired the Union as it was and the con.
stitution as il is. Fire hands were
raised! els that all ?" exclaimed Mr..
Richards. The ga6aw that went up
from the vast throng Of people instant.
ly took all the starch out of him and
he began to look for hiding place.
The rejoinder Of Col. Allison was
one Of the most brilliant and telling
speeches we ever listened to. His re.
torts and satircs fell thick and fast,
aud elected cheer upon cheer from
both ladies' and gentlemen. A more
exultant body of men and women we're
never seen. When Mr.. Allison had
concluded his remarks scarcely cop.
perhead remained in the meeting.
Mr.. Richards is doing great good
to the loyal Union cause by his advo-
cacy of Southern Rights /" which ev-
cry one knows are traitorously and
externally forfeited. and his unfolding
the Chicago Platform and the doctrines
Of an armistice and traitors peace.
The Unionists can well afford to pay
his expenses for the enormities of his
doctrines will give rs many more
votes than we could otherwise hope
for. Mr.. Richards has found all the
way up the Cedar river valley, where
he has spoken, that be had no " Doob-
lin" audiences before him. as has been
his wontin Dubuque.
