The Casnpai-n Opened.

One of the best speeches OF this cam
paign was delivered by Admiral Farra-
gut in Mobile Bay. He met Admiral
Buchanan, member of the Peace party,
and after alternate speaking of some
hours, during which Farragut gave
some stirring appeals in behalf of the
Union and its flag, Buchanan cried
peace. 1t is Il noteworthy fact, that he
didn't propose any terms, well knowing
that Farragut had already declared him.
self in favor of an unconditional sur
render. Buchanan, with one leg gone,
sent his sword as an "olive branch"
and the brave tars, when they saw the
white flag, the emblem of an end to
strife, sent up a shout that was heard all
over the Bay. Blessed is old Farra-
gut, the peace maker And so on an
other day our great orator opened his
iron mouth in behalf of the Union, and
the inhabitants of Fort Morgan, who
desired honorable terms Of peace, We're
informed that unconditional surrender
was the only honorable thing in rebel
lion. Up went the rebel flag of peace,
and the debate was closed. We sincere
ly hope Farragut will repeat his splen-
did efforts at Wilmington and Charles
ton. We like the music of his voice.
while his perorations were never sur
passed.
Another grand, solid, effective speech
was delivered to the Peace party by
Sherman, at Atlanta. It's effect was
powerful upon Hoods followers, and
like the lightning and tempest, tore up
railroads, burned engines, cars, ammu-
milton and supplies, and restored 1000
lost men to the protection of the Aueri-
can flag. 1t was big speech in behalf
of peace, and produced most despond-
ing effect upon the Democratic party in
the loyal States. Give us more such
STUN p-speakers, and the people Will cry
" Blessed are such peace makers"
We want peace, and if We viii give
Sherman, Grant, Candy and tarragut
the means, We'll have a peace that will
bring us no dishOnor.

Mr.. EDITOR Il wish to inform the
public through your columns that the
Eleventh Annual Fair of this county
will commence on next Tuesday, Sept.
18th, and continue till Friday, the 10Th.
AS the Sanitary Fair is to be held the
same week, there will, no doubt, be a
great many strangers here who will Wis
it our Agricultural Fair to see the pro-
auctions of our county. In order to
sustain the honor of the county, and add
as much as possible to the interest of the
Fair, / sincerely hope that all will take
an interest in it, not merely for the pre-
MUM money, but to show strangers
what our county can produce. Every
one living in the county is, or should be,
interested in the County Fair Our
county cannot be beat in stock-raisers,
fruit-grOwers and farmers. Will our
people sustain this assertion? Farmers,
come out with the products of the soil,
and do not leave your stock, about
which you hyag so much on Fair days, at
home.
The Floral and Finc-Arts Hall has
been excellent in past years, and the
prospect of a fine exhibition i'm this de-
partment this season, is better than ever
before.
Mechanics, this will be the time TO eX-
hibit your selfrallers, patent cow-milk-
ers, apple-peelers, &c.
The department of food and condi-
ments is entrusted to the ladies, who
have never failed to do their part. 1t is
very easy to fill the committee under
this head, as all like something good to
eat.
Poultry has been omitted in our lists
by mistake, but will receive attention as
usual if brought in.
Let all who can possibly do so make
arrangements to spend next week in
visiting the two fairs. Our friends from
abroad are most cordially invited to at
tend the County Fair, and also to pre-
sent articles for exhibition.
The cars will run regularly from the
city to the fair grounds. j. b.

The JEFF. Davis men in the North are
continually charging that Mr.. Lincoln
has so conducted the affairs Of govern
ment as to ALLEVIATE his best friends, and
that the people have lost confidence in
the man. We invite the attention OF
these men to the following facts:
In the Presidential election of 1850
the popular majority against Mr.. Lin
coin was 159, 427.
In 1862 the popular majority for the
Republican ticket was Al, 453.
During the years 1861 and 1872 Mr..
Lincoln prosecuted the war on a strictly
conservative basis, revoking all orders
that squinted toward radicalism. The
Hallecks, McClellans and Buells con-
Quoted operations in the field on their
theory.
In 1868 there came arbitrary arrests,
emancipation, confiscation and radical
policy. The Hallecks, McClellans, Blu
ellis, and associate conservatives, went
out. Since then the grandest victories
of the war have been achieved, and
what said the people in 1868? In the
elections of that year the people rolled
mp popular majority of 1851 for the
Administration. And yet these misera-
BILE sneaks are so lost to patriotism that
they still insist Jeff. Davis has more
friends in the loyal States than has Mr..
Lincoln. Falsehoods won't defeat Abe
The people have pronounced by nearly
half million majority in favor of radi-
cal measures, and in one short year they
will not abandon them.
Now, all you little fellows that are
shopping round to hunt up some weak
kneed or disappointed Republican who
will not vote for Old Abe in November,
crawl to your holes. An avalanche OF
100000 majority will grind your whole
party to powder so fine that the par
ticles will never settle.
If you think Lincoln isn't popular.

'6I-'62 and '6S.

The Union Conventions held at De
Witt on Thursday last did what was
expected of them by the people to-wit
The Congressional Convention nomina-
ted our present efficient, worthy MEM
Der of Congress, Hon. Hiram Price, for
reelection.
Captain S. S. Burdett, of Dewitt, a
young man Of superior ability and a
| tirst-class lawyer, who, for three years
has been battling the rebels in the field,
was nominated for District elector with
! out opposition.
/ 1t is useless for Us to say anything rel
ative to Mr.. Price or his course in Con-
gress. He has not been renowned for
his much speaking, but has been fore
most in the ranks of the workers. Up
on all questions of finance, Mr.. Price
has had few if any superiors in the
House
If Mr.. Thayer has any aspirations in
the Congressional line Mr.. Price will be
most happy to wait upon and extend
the courtesies of 1862 to that gentleman.
We don't believe the Grandview martyr
will ever have better time to be beaten
than now.
| Captain Burdett will give the people
ample evidence of his well deserved
nomination before the election.
OF course everybody in this Judicial
District expected that Judge Richman
would be nominated, as he was. The
best compliment we can pay this gentle
man comes from Il political opponent
who has served upon the bench, and
who stands at the head of his profession
in this District: "Scott Richman never
had his superior upon the bench in
Iowa. In many of the most essential
requisites of a good Judge he has had no
equal in this District. | say it because l
believe it, and without any desire to
detract from the well earned reputation
of other Judges. Richman will have no
serious opposition in this District. He
ought to have none" We can't inn
prove upon this testimony, and as it is
Democratic, we shall let it stand.
The above named candidates cannot
! be defeated

BSssH' Mr.. Chase goes in for the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln, in spite of the ear
nest attempts of the Copperheads to
prove the contrary. In letter dated
the 18th ultimo, Mr.. Chase says:
g do not see any reason for believing
that the great cause to which we are all
bound can be promoted any better or as
well, by withdrawing support from the
nomination made at Baltimore, and no
cause Of dissatisfaction, however strong,
will warrant any sacrifice of that cause.
What future circumstances may require
or warrant, cannot now be foreseen and
need not now be considered. I particu-
larly desire that my friends should do
nothing and say nothing that can create
the impression that there is any person
al difference between Mr.. Lincoln and
myself, for there is none. All the diff
ferences that exist are on public ques-
tons, and have no private bearing.''

Gov. Campbell anu the Negro Troops.


NASHVILLE, Sept. IL see by the
papers that Gov. Campbell, of this State,
while in Chicago, at the Convention,
complained that property was guarded
by armed slaves. He will have to make
that complaint no longer. He asked for
a guard, and it was sent; it will now be
withdrawn, and he will be compelled to
protect his property himself. ...
How faithfully these negroes did their
duty, an incident will Illustrate: A
body of Wheeler's men, forty or fifty,
came up to and fired upon the guard,
who drove them away, wounding three
of the villains. But, as Gov. Campbell
does not like negro guards, they are to
be withdrawn.

BE. It is q remarkable fact that the
most prosperous States of Europe are
those most heavily burdened with ma
tional debt; and although we certainly
will not say that they have prospered in
consequence Of their debts, it cannot be
denied that they have prospered in spite
of them. Macaulay says Of the English
debt:
g At every stage in the growth Of that
debt it has been seriously asserted by
wise men that bankruptcy and ruin
We're at hand. At every stage OF the
growth Of that debt the nation has set
up the same cry OF anguish and despair.
Yet still the debt went on growing, and
still bankruptcy and ruin We're a. re-
mote
And he adds: "The beggared, the
bankrupt society not only proved able to
meet all its obligations, but while meet
ing them grew richer and richer so fast
that the growth could almost be discern
ed by the eye"
