There is not the least fear from what
see bv the British Comm0ns@ that IelandlA
work is DONE and that the flag and the
country that have stood the battle and the
breeze for more than seven hundred years
have worked ont their final end, and that
your country, her wrongs, and her suffer-
ings, have been fully avenged by the tanning
of the British lion and the wiping out of

For the Clarion.
The doctrine that there can be no taxation
without representation was borrowed from
our English ancestors, and may be said to
have become in some sense q fundamental
principle in the British government, though
exceedingly vague and loose in its applica-
ton. 1t grew up in the long struggle be-
tween the prerogatives of the crown and the
liberties of the subject, and was intended to
be a barrier against those arbitrary exac-
tons SO often resorted to by the Tudors and
Stuarts The commons of England were the
sufferers by all such cxactions, and the
money, when raised, went into the hands of
mOnarchs who acknowledged no response
bility to the people, and might use it in
Strengthening their own power, and en-
aiding themselves to make further encroach-
ments upon popular liberty. 1t was, there
fore, matter of the utmost Importance that

that government, constituted but one Ofthe

one, occupying a position of constant an

nat hear of single case oflwhipping on that
ar any day during che holidays. On the
contrary the negroes were engaged almost
incessantly, nigift and day, in reveling and
dancing, their employers giving them, on
Aost places dinners and suppers for them
selves and guests, as has been customary

litia appeared occasionally ON the plnccs
where tile negroes We're having parties; Sbut
not one was whipped, so far % we caGn learn,

The third charge againstr'6s is, that negro
woman was most cruSny whipped ON the
Cain plantation, i1a1Rhich Mr.. Cain and Mr..
Lnmpkin aided JShS militia.
The facts, ~ We learn them are these ::
Same time Before the whipping of this
negro, she struck daughter of Mr.. Cain
several blows over the left arm and shoulder
with board, disabling those limbs for three
weeks. Mr. G. was absent at the time, and
the woman left the premises. Mr.. c. stated
the facts to the provost marshal of freedmen
ut Liberty, and made application for her re-
turn to him, as she was under contract to
work for him till the first of January. The
application was granted, and Mr. G. had her
brought back Some ten days after her re-
turn, several relatives and friends Of Mrs.
C.'s daughter took the negro from the resi-
dence Of Mr.. c. ut night, while he was asleep,
aud administered to her wholesome casti-
CATION, MIR g., nor Mr.. Lumpkin nor a
single one of the militia, had anything to do
with the whipping or knew when it was
done. These are the facts in this ease, with
out eXtenuation and we would say, for the
benefit Of said Matthews, that said negro
woman has made a contract with Mr.. Cain
for the present year; which she did freely
and of her own accord, preierring TO live
with him than with any one else and she
says she has struck her last white woman
with II board
The fourth charge is that, ION the same
night, a negro was severely whipped on the
Lumpkin place, in which Mr.. Lumpllin was
engaged" This is also wholly false. No
negro has been whipped on this place for

County Convention.

The call for o Republican County
Convention appears in our columns this
week, to meet at Waterloo on Friday,
July 9th. The Convention is called to
nominate delegates to attend the Con-
gressional and Judicial Conventions,
and nominate candidates for Clerk OF
the District Court and Recorder OF
Deeds. The Congressional Convention
will meet at Webster City on the first
proxiaso, and the Judicial Convention,
not yet called, will probably be held at
Independence sometime next month";
This county is entitled to thirteen dole
gates in these Conventions. The NOM
nations that will be made for Congress-
man and Judicial officers is matter of
grave Importance, and the people should
by all means interest themselves in the
primary meetings. We should have
preferred, for reasons which seem good
to US, but which now need not be stat
ed, to have had another and later Con-
vention for the nomination of delegates
to attend the Congressional Convention
aud nomiIsate candidates for county Off
GERS. The Chairman of the County
Central Committee, Caleb May, Esq., is
Of our mind; but he was over-ruled by
Our .fsisnds Mt Waterloo. We hope
there may be 10 wrangling when we
come to meet in Convention, but that
we may all labor together for the good
of the whole country, and the unity
and harmony OF the party.

About Congressman.

The Fort Dodge North West, in dis
cussing the prospects of Congressional
candidates in this District, has the fol.
lowing:
1t is true there is strong opposition
to Judge Hubbard in some parts of the
District, but after carefully looking over
the indications up to this time, we are
inclined to the belief that ii his name
goes before the Convention, he will be
nominated OH the first ballot The
masses of the people have confidence in
him, for his steadfast adherence to the
well known principles of those who
elected him. That he has been true to
his political faith, none can deny. The
charges that he is not resident of the
District, and that he has used his posi-
ton to advance his pecuniary interests,
are being urged with effect i'm some
parts of the District; but he has very
many warm and active friends who in
dignantly deny the charges.
Mr.. Pomeroy's name has been fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the position. While his many personal
friends would gladly support him for
the place, he is not the man to traverse
the District to fix up" favorable dele
cations. He is personally friendly to
the reelection of Judge Hubbard, and
has consequently RETAINED from taking
any part in the strife that has been GO
ing on for the past two months. If
manipulation of delegates, misreprcsen-
tation, and sharp practice, is the order
of the day, Mr.. Pomeroy does not pro-
pose to enter the field. He would much
prefer private life, to success by such
means.
IL Judge Hubbard is not to be cam
didate, the contest would at present
seem to be between Judge Porter and
G. M. Woodbury.. ...-
We trust that the Republicans Of the
Sixth District will not lower the stand
ard of qualifications for a member of
Congress. There are many aspirants
who are working with untiring zeal
and energy for the position. Let us
not engage in a personal contest for fu-
vorites, but look we'll to the nobler
qualities that indicate true statesman.
1t is of vital Importance that the next
Congress should be composed of the
best, truest and ablest men in the ma
ton. Personal ambition, and personal
preferences, ought not to control the
action Of the Convention.
1t is of far more importance that an
honest, able, true and reliable man
should be selected, than that the per-
sonal ambition Of any man, or set of
men, should, be gratified.
For the information of the North
West, we are happy TO state that Judge
Hubbard's name will be before the Con-
vention; that he is candidate, and
that there is no occasion whatever for
the use of that off" except by those
who are "fixing up" delegations ad-
verse to his denomination.

why it has not gone to the Home. We
sent it expressly for the children. We
have also sent a copy to the home at
Dav nj ort for the last ten months, or
rather to Pennington and afterwards to
Davenport, and also for several months
to the Blind Asylum at VintOn, and
would like to know whether these trif-
ing contributions reach their destina-
ton. We mention these things now
for the purpose of saying that we design
these papers for the inmates of these
institutions, in the hope that they may
contribute some interest to them, and
also to express the hope that other pub
fishers of newspapers will forward their
papers 80 those and other benevolent
institutions in the State.

cite, and to say | was pleased with the
promptness with which the class got
into order and recited, would hardly
cover the whole ground. l learned
while there, that this was owing in q
great measure, to the competency Of
