A Rich Row.

The Dubuque Herald is having q
happy time exposing its Democratic
compeers. 1t is the sale OF the party to
the Kangaroos"a at the late convention
which has awakened its ire. The Her.
aid has always been a straight-out Cop
perhead sheet, and never has relished
the idea Of amalgamation with half
and-half Conservatives" We honor
it for its consistency in this respect
Looking upon the recent Democratic
Convention and its doings, just as we
and all sensible men look upon it, as a
complete surrender of the party to the
new johnson dynasty, the Herald in
its indignant wrath bolts the entire
proceeding, and goes on to pour its
anathemies upon the Democratic lead
ers with whom it has been wont to affil-
late. Hear what it says of the fillhorse
Claggett: f..HuU *, j
"a POLITICAL HARLoT.-If there Is
one man irthe State of Iowa more in
famous personally and politically than
another it is L. w. Claggett, of Keo-
kuk. We do not know that Claggett
ever did creditable act. His reputa-
ton is a stencil every where, and his
reputation is based upon the broad foun-
dation of the facts of his life. se.
Glaggett is the editor of The Keokuk
Consultation. In the issue of that sheet
for July Goth he devotes two columns to
abuse Of the Herald for having refused
to be party to the infamous attempt
to sell the democracy to the Bentonites
at the late State Convention. \ 4
We have already given too much no.
tice to this man Clnggett, whose only
service is in furnishing an evidence Of
consistent depravity. He charges that
at the convention we promised to sup
port the Benton ticket. If he had ever
been known to tell the truth we should
say that in this he wilfully lied. 90. :.
If for 10 other reason, the advocacy OF
such men as CIaggett will secure the
defeat of the Benton ticket. His influ-
ence operates inversely. President
Johnson's misfortune is that the offices
at his disposal draw such carrion politi-
clans to him. He Will find their sup
port about as effective as a dupg-fork in
shoveling sand.n -laaaats -suJ bias
Such Is the truthful and animated ex-
hibition of the Democratic leaders, now
made among themselves. Their poor
prospect of success is here happily set
forth, in their own confession. To us
lockers on the demonstration is q rich
one, although it developes nothing new.
We have always held up these butter
nut politicians as miserable set; that
we have not misrepresented, appears
from the above life-like portrait taken
in the camera of Democracy itself.

CONGRESSIONAL.

Unfortunately, in various portions of
this Congressional District, the report
that Judge Hubbard is not candidate
for denomination to Congress has been
received with credence. We understand
just how this report originated, and are
fully informed of all the particulars
connected with the affair. For reasons
which will be obvious to most of our
readers, it is perhaps not advisable to
attempt full explanation of this matter
at the present time. We are just on
the eve of the Convention, and we yet
have faith that this matter can be amic-
ably and honorably arranged, to the
satisfaction of all concerned.
For the reason that we desire harmo-
ny in our ranks, and that we do not
wish to agitate matter which should
never have been stirred up, we will not
at this time say more than to announce,
that all reports that Judge Hubbard is
not candidate are without foundation.
We speak by authority when we say
that he will be before the Convention,
a candidate for denomination.
1t is to be deeply regretted that a Sc
rious misunderstanding should exist
among those who have protested them
selves Judge Hubbard's friends, on this
point, and that spirit adverse to the
best interests of the District and the
party should be allowed to spring from
it.
We notice that several Of the papers
in the District have rather cast refiec-
tions upon Mr.. Melendy, of this place,
for his connection with the affair. His
course has been straightforward, and
perfectly just and honorable, both as re-
CARDS Mr.. Hubbard. and the other par
ties concerned; and he can fully and
explain his part in the
and can support the position he
takes by good responsible hackers, who
are familiar with all the circumstances
and he can further prove the truth of
his assertions by letters received from
several prominent men of the district.
He has never for q moment considered
that Judge Hubbard was off the track,
and has never meant togive any person
any good reason for so supposing. There
is no more honorable, conscientious
man in the district than Peter Melendy,
and those who, either Intentionally or
unintentionally, seek to cast odium up
on him for his part in this matter, do
him great injustice. They are assum-
ing position which is untenable, and
which they cannot hold if they are opeH
to conviction, and are willing to accept
a satisfactory explanation, backed up
by uncontrovertible evidence.

A Reluctant Confession.

The Independence Bulletin, which
has steadily apologized for the Presi-
dent and most of his acts, claiming for
him the purest of motives, and the sim
cerest patriotism, declaring the differ
ences between Congress aud the Presi-
dent to be merely techni ,al, intimating
that If condemnation is to be meted to
either side, it belongs to Congress, and
advocating such platform by the Re-
publicans of Iowa, as should not, even
by implication, condemn the President
or his policy, has in its last issue re-
cantation. &C.,. ....... --...
We cannot refrain from congra.ula-
ting the Bulletin upon the accession of
ly to read the Presidents motives and
purpose. Though late in the day, we
welcome it and its influence to the adj
yocacy of right principles, ard the con-
demnation of dangerous politics, by
whomsoeyer promulgated. But let u,
hope that the necessity for the above
implied recantation of it's former opin-
ions, may teach our contemporary a les
son of humility, of Difference, of toler-
ance. Let us hear no more pompous
homilies upon fanaticism." "party
Madness" DC, no more Pharisaical
condemnation of those who, seeing the
purpose reluctantly confessed in the
recantation referred to, did not hesitate,
in fitting words, to denounce it, and the
motives which prompted it. In view
of the apostacy of the President, we
presume the Bulletin now realizes the
unprofitableness of attempting to ride
two horses. Let us hope that for the
future it will indulge less in rose-water
as weapon of offense, and not waste
its time in belittling issues upon which
hang safety, peace, and permanence.-
Usage Io,Cdn. ... .....
1t Is now only five weeks, since we
published our confident prediction, that
within six weeks the Bulletin would
come round all square in favor of Con-
gress, and would even deny that it had
been anywhere else" We may per-
haps enlighten our contemporaries bit,
as to the cause of the Bulletins vacilla-
ton. There was an "aXe to grind"
Friend LOOMS wanted the Postof1ice Mt
Independence, and he verify thought
his subserviency to Johnson had bought
it for him. But the venality was too
Obvious at headquarters, the claim was
too shallow, and the appointment
"hangs fire." This Is enabling Brother
LOOMS to get back to his own radical
ground again. And especially does the
wise and harmonious action of Congress,
and the stand of our State Convention
and the whole Republican party in its
support, bring the Bulletin to its senses,
as we said it would. We trust that the
temporary detection of thGt paper is
shout esadsd, and that, with the aid of
our own humble endeayors, Republi-
can ism has been saved from an entire
Generalization in Buchanan County.

the crop prospects are better thancould

stances. The heavy falls Of rain
during the past few weeks has very
materially interiered with the progress

mers and planters throughout the dis
trict visited; yet the farmers looked to
be in lnucn better condition than would
have been expected. Wheat will be
poor, no large quantity having been
sown, and the fields which were put,
will not produce.inore than half a crop.
Cotton does not look very tourishing,
but will, il the weather changes to a

The Fcniau Invasion,

This episode il the history Of til,
Irish people seems about to draw TO
close. Wesuppose the readers OF tn
Home Journal are generally ~conycrsan
with the rise, progress and object o
the organization, hence it only remains
tor us to notice the result, which car
lie briefly told. Detroit, st. Alban'
and Buffalo were the points on the Dor
der at which the Fcnians concentrated
for the invasion of Canada. 1t seems
that about 1000 under the command
Of a Cot. O'Neil, Of Nashville, (and
who was formerly in the Federal army
succeeded in getting over into Canada,
from Buffalo,. Before proceeding far,
.ordoing anything ormuch importance,
they were met by some 1000 Canadian
volunteers-a fight ensued, in which
the latter were defeated. The Fcnians
having no artillery, and being in want
OF provisions, fell bnck, having on the
way another engagement with some
Canadian volunteers, IN which the lat
ter were again defeated, losing some
10 or 50 prisoners. Meanwhile theC Ga
madam volunteers wore reinforced by
1000 English troops and two batteries
ofartillcry. These troops moved at
once against the I'enians and forced
them TO- attempt to get back to the
American shore. In the attempt 800
fell prisoners to the United States an
thoritics, and are held Still against q
demand ofthc British Consul for them
10 be delivered up to British authority.
The Fcuians statiOncd at st. Adams
nnd Detroit seem to have made an cf
fort ri IN advance. SO the whole mat.
fer stands, and We have reason to be
iieye the Ecnimn furry will soon cease
