but instead af submitting to it. or endeav-
oring to vindicate himself. he boiled over
with wrath, and swore dire political re-
venge against said presumptuous constit-

we hardly think the cry Of "Court House
Clique" is valid argument. At least.
we don't see 1t in that light.

him. He objected. saying that he didn't
want any Convention. But they stuck
to it. and got up notices ordering Town
ship meeting, signing his name 10 it, as
nember of the Committee for this Town
ship. BE probably thinks. to this day,
that Il amounts to nothing. and that bis
appointment was q mere form, to fill ont

WHOM He Is.-Oar Star e corre-
spondent desires to know something of
the political history Of the member Of the
Central Committee from this Township.
When we wrote another article in this
issue concerning him. we knew nothing
of him; but have since met man who is
acqusinted with him. He says John
Alfrey lives in the extreme lower part Of
the Township, near the mouth of Wolf
River; before the war. be was Pro- Slave
ry Democrat; at the outbreak Of the rebel
lion, be was looked upon as decidedly
Copperisb; but was rather inoffensive, and
was not regarded as amounting to suf
icient to drive out. 1t may be that. like
many others of bis class, he has since
been Influenced and educated into o good
Union man. But, Good Saints amt
that organizing the Republican party,
"with screw to it? 1t will doubt
less be gratifying to the old working Re-
publicans of Iowa Township, to learn
that Lsrzelers & Co.. "just from the
army" have undertaken to organize the
Republican party, by appointing an old
Pro- Slavery neighbor as member OF the
Central Committee I! Won't they Just
rush into such move ment?
As to the candidate from Iowa Town
ship. we think our correspondent mis-
judges him. They may nominate him,
but we do not believe he will beg it from
them. nor enter into any Of their political
trickery to get it.

"ORGANIzING THE PARTY" This is
the cry OF the advocates Of County
Convention. Let us see how it is There
are none but Republicans ont for Office.
There are various candidates. who have
been on the track for some time-before
9 Convention was agitated. In some
cases the strife is very bitter, arising from
purely personal matters. Left to the peo-
pie to choose from among all aspirants.
the people alone would be responsible,
and no party could be blamed by the de-
feated candidates. Hold a Convention,
and these little personal affairs are bound
to enter in and have their influence. and
the Convention would have to decide in
favor of one set and sgainst the other.
At the next election, the ones decided
against would oppose those who did it.
and so the warfare would be kept up
year after year. This might be only fun.
as long as Republicans only ran for Office;
but when the Democracy organized and
brought out candidates. it would be found
that this Convention had organized the
Republican party, Sin horn," and that
