General Torbett has Just been brevetted a

better understanding and more generous
feeling among the people. He had just been

How ii Happened.

We have heretofore noticed the strange
conduct of the Lee County Convention at
Des Moines upon the liquor license question.
They first unanimously adopted resolution
in favor of license-then unanimously re-
scinded it-and finally unanimously resolved
to refer it to counties, cities and towns, to do
as they pleased about it.
We think we have discovered the reason OF
this singular conduct on the part of the Con-
vention. They nominated Colonel BENTON
for Governor who, we believe, was one of
the trainers of the prohibitory law, and GER
tainly one of its consistent friends and advo-
Gates. They also nominated VANANDA for
Lieutenant Governor. and he is one of the
most radical temperance men in the State.
He is not only an advocate of the prohibitory
law as il now stands, but favors it's amend
ment so as to prohibit the manufacture or
sale Of lager beer, wine and cider. If any
one doubts this. lie; him refer to the journal
of the House of Representatives of 1852,
when NASANDA was member, pages 573.
574, and 575, where the record of the pro-
NttNlti-c VI tit lipANtf pun a phi W plOutuit
and punish the manufacturer of beer, wine
and cider, will be found. VANANpA was ac-
tive in its favor, and voted for it. With such
ticket. no wonder the Convention, com
posed of forty-six men, principally from Lee
conuty, had to sback water on the license
question. Il is interesting to notice among
the names of those who voted for this bill in
the House nearly all the leading Copper
heads, such as Dunlavy and Ferguson of
Davis, Flint of Wapello, Thompson of Lee /;
while such leeding Republicans as Lane of
Scott, Mitchell of Polk, Moss, Pendletou,
and Speaker Clark, are recorded in the mega
tive. In the Senate the same bill was de-
feated by close vote, all The Copperheads
but t,co roting for ii, and such Union men as
Bowen, Leake, Cue. McCrary of Lee, Wool
son. Woodward, and others, voted no. See
Senate Journal. page 403.
