Of Iowa, but surely there are others
that might be named for the same Of

forgotten. have now In my mind
one who I think might be urged to
accept the noniination, and who has
very many qualifications for office

the great cause Of humanity--of hui

scendant Of the highest blood of the
Plymouth stock, and blood you know
will tell every time and no mistake.
In the article above referred to, the
writer gave the name of q "Col.,"
who knosc would resign all claims
TO the place and let his mantle fall
gently on the subject Of this notice,
who has such superior claims, and
who now bring before the public
In the person Of the Hon. JOHN
QUINCY ADAMS CROSBY, Of Cedar
Falls. Strange - It may now APP
pear, John In early days was a baby,
but of great promise, and being Of
noble birth, q name must be given
him Of no ordinary kind, and the
first and greatest man In the nation
at that time was selected for the forth
coming man.
1t Is said every generation grows
wiser, and while John Adams. the
elder, was wise, good man, the son,
John Quincy Adams was supposed
to inherit oil his fathers talent, and
the young protege now spoken of,
took In all Of both the Others Mt the
time of his baptismal, as John Quin-
cy Adams Crosby and he has met the
expectation of his friends and filed
the 6at. II 10 fitting then, that while
beth the Adams were Presidents OF
the United States, that the late John
should 60 to Congress and help rein
safe the nation after the sad havoc the
war has made and which Andy failed
to make better. Ihave said John was
. hard worker, and II not always for
his country-it has been for himself.
AS scholar and writer, John Ia en-
inent, and 10 the author of some val
liable and scientific works on the SUBJ
ject Of Trichena, and said by some to
be the author Of q volume of poetry,
lately published. As Judge-for
he was once q "Justis Pacis"--he
has been as strict for justice, every
time searching I'm his inquiry for the
truth-and while some he sent to
prison direct, another brought before
him and partially examined-the
court adjourned n few hours, and In
the meantime the offender relieved
himself from further examination
before the court by hanging himself,
rather than have the sentence from
the court for the same end.
Neither Ii John unmindful OF our
daily wants, or Of State Legislation,
and 10 watchful for the best interests
Of the community by heading q pc
tition the past winter, TO the effect
that money loaned should be free and
easy, and the per cent. of interest
should not exceed Ave and six per
cent per month, or no more than the
parties might agree upon.
You see then, John Is not idle, but
looking ahead, and IL transferred TO
Congress, will surely make his mark.
but II In impossible I'm one article to
give all the various traits Of charac-
ter and fitness for Office, and we all
know they are varied and many. In
matters offinance, John would dogood
service to Mcculloch I'm the Treas
ury Department, and provide ways
and means ofpaying of the National
Debt, and lee his name go down to
posterity as q Savior OF the nation,
but we should suffer at home In his
absense, and should miss the smiles
of his genial countenance, livery
muchIy, land all our benevolent In
stitutions would suffer In conse-
quence Of his absence, but like an
Artemus Ward will suffer willingly,
and you know Artemus would sacri-
flee all his wifs's relations for the
country's good, 20 In case John goes
to Congress, or 10 some foreign mis-
sion, we shall feel the sacrifice. Then
again, John can 60 better than most
men to whom he refers, - he has no
Office TO rent or lease, a. he os-
Gu pies sort OF travelling shop from
store to store or box TO baat, and hack
again. He once had . place Of busi-
ness while Justice, Insurance agent
and Building Committee, but al
these are finished up, and the only
thing he has TO dispose Of before GO
ing, h patent he secured while
travelling Ia Missouri last season, and
that be offer TO sell for beef or hams,
he assuming all the risk and
trouble Of the latter being "lively.n
