FARMERsBURG, Iowa, July IA, 1868.
The "Dodge" No. l Self-Raker I bought
Off. j. Roberts this day. Have just given
it a severe test in badly tangled barley, on
the farm of John Polas, in trial with a
Mccormick sir foot reaper. The same
work was done with ease by tuo horses on
my machine that it required four to do on
the Mccormick. 1t did not upset it had
no side draft. The self-raker worked to
my entire satisfaction, Keeling on the grain
the grain and delivering the gavels in per.
feet order at the will Of the driver, by
slightly moving a lever-which l consider
of no small value when the crop is heavy
on one side of the field and light on the
other. In short, l am perfectly satisfied
with it and would recommend my friends
to see it before they purchase any other.
CHARLES BANDow.
My team hauled the above machine and
was surprised at its lightness of draft
The self-rake did its work good enough
for me. JOHN Voss.
l consider the dodge a perfect self
rakcr and all that can be desired.

NJ Ms.
Some weeks since we referred to q
charge Of K. N-ism against Colfax. II
was not originally made in the TINES. We
said our say because the charge had been
sprung by another paper, and it was pro-
per that Colfax should have an opportuni.
ty to refute it, through his friends. He
is TOO cautious to enter the arena. His
best friends politically do not care to at.
tack our statements. A worshipper of the
South Bender, INDUCES in words about
this writer in the Elkader Journal of two
weeks ago. 1t was cditorially presented,
but Col. Eibeck probably did not write it.
Capt. Upton, a former South Bend prin-
ter in Colfax's Office, and now a respecta-
bic druggist of Elkader is as tender Of the
reputation of Schuyler as Boswell, the
toady, was of the reputation Of Doctor
Johnson. The article in question assumes
so intimate a knowledge Of South Bend
and its sentiments that we credit Tp.
with its authorship. We might scold a
little at the coarse words he uses toward
US, but as men are obliged to make up in
ugly epithets what they lack in argument
alive force we let the matter pass. Some
painters write, "This is a Bear under
their pic tures.
Mr.. Colfax is a personal friend Of ours
since '36. Our political association never
was and probably never will be identical.
Thus it is with thousands of people in this
mundane sphere. There is no man who
prizes q friend higher than we do, but
when that friend lends himself to cormor-
ants to i%njure the country that honors him
political ideas take control and sentiment
subsidies. We never cote for flesh and
blood, clothed, either in fine linnen or in
gunny cloth our ::aim is to select admin
istrative principles for our "ru1er." The
man might die-Principles are indestruc-
tible. We reiterate the fact that Colfax
was charged with X. N-ism by Dawson
Of Fl. Wayne This political friendl that
South Bend generally believed it and that
Colfax received the vote of that faction.
1t isn't very far to South Bend by rail,
still less by telegraph the Elkader idoli-
ger of Mr.. c. can get testimony from there
if he wishes. Judging from the %intelli-
gence exhibited now by our young Hoosier
friend, we conclude he knew very little
indeed fifteen years ago.. Believing that
Schuyler Colfax and not Grant is the only
strength Of the bondholders ticket, we
write ofhim literally; knowing him and
the "reticent" wheel barrow he is push
ing are as certain o: defeat as the 10th of
November arrives, we intend to touch
him as lightly as the prudence of his
friends will permit. The less this matter
is stirred, the better for Colfax.

Charles Summerfeld, brother in-law to

The National Convention.

Au0 NotlOMuA N0nVent1Ous
We have no spread-eagle comments to
make about it. lis not our fashion to do
such doings. After seeing the platform it
was q matter Of almost Indifference who
was placed upon it. We knew he would
DO able as well as honest and we rested.
At McGregor, by the kindness of operator
Patterson Of the N. w. T. Company and
Of operator Walker of the Mississippi
Valley Co.. we were posted daily as to the
situation. At first Pendleton was largely
in the start. Hancock and Hendricks
soon cam up and on the 10Th ballot PEN
ileton was withdrawn, Hancock holding
the lead. Gov. Seymour persistently re-
fused the use Of his name. The N. Y.
delegation of which S. was a member were
instructed not to present it. On the 22d
ballot the voting was going in the direction
Of Hendricks when q letter from Pendlc-
ton urging Seymour to take the nomina-
ton as q public duty was read to the con-
vcntionsand Ohio spoke for the distinguished
New Yorker. Seymour again declined,
in a well-done speech and left the chair to
Vice President Price. Several states
changed their votes and the result was the
unanimous choice Of ~IIoRArIo SEYMOUR,
for President of the United States. He
shortly appeared and delivered the follow
ing beautiful speech. Henry L. Palmer
Of Wis, was temporary President and he
performed his duties well. Seymour was
permanent President, Price acting ad
Interim. Judge McClintock Of West Union
was the Iowa Vice. Enthusiasm is no
name for the shouts, the cannon and the
general Joy which marked the close of the
convention. Throughout the country the
most intense feeling Of qualification pre-
walls. Democrats are boiling over with
excitement at the certain prospect Of elect
ing tho ablest statesman in America.

fill all our columns with the accounts OF

people on the receipt Of the news. At
McGregor we propose to do something on
this "wednesday night.

the Repu blican party, in its platform
adopted at Chicago, has a face toward the

Gates of the payment of the debt in green

party, not daring to declare unequivocally
how the vote should be paid, seeks

its money article of Thursday, speaking of
the manner in which the National debt
should be paid, says: "Senator Sher-
mans letter, which We published a few

right but the duty to pay the debt in paper
money and yet Senator Sherman is a
leader in the Republican party, and finds
no difficulty in a hearty assent to its plat

Congress.

Congress.
This illustrious body-notorious is bet
ter than illustrious-are sweating it thro'
in most gallant style. They had reached
the verge of revolutionary action some
time since, but the hot weather of the last
few weeks has given the RAIDS political
rabies of the intensest character. Ed
.nunds, Of VT, introduces a bill excluding
the Count of the Southern Presidential
Electors unless their States are "properly"
reconstructed. This means that none but
carpet-baggers like Rice of Arkansas. or
apostates like Brown, of Georgia, shall be
allowed to vote in the electoral college
The bill has passed both houses; Andy
will veto it and the reyolutionists ut the
Capitol will re-pass it. 1t will not do to
tamper much longer with the present
temper OF the people. The RAIDS will see
their doom in November. The financial
discussion is what ails them, and while
throwing straws to taxpayers in the shape
Of sham propositions to tax the interest
on U. S. Bonds, they bid high for the ne
gro vote South, in the shape of a bill to
exclude all electors who are not sent to
Washington by the colored population.
We are indebted to Col. Allison ard S.
Colfax of the II. of Rep. for valuable
public documents. 1t is believed by many
that. Allison will BIZ re-nominated at West
Union. Graves is getting hard knocks
from his own party papers. We rather
like both these gentlemen, personally, but
Tomuel Updegraff, of McGregor, is strong
or than either, in Clayton county. Col.
Henderson made q 18th Of July speech al
Clermont, and bid high for the colored
vote, but he stands no show. Andy Felt
of the Nashua Post, is the most talented
one in the lot Of Rep. aspirants. We ex-
pect to beat their nominee, let his nam
be Brown or Smith. This is seriously
said. The majority against US two year.
ago was large, but men who care not t.
look arc not aware Of the immense chang,
that the villainy Of the present Congress
and the thieving of public officials, ha
marked in the minds of the people. Tn
Republican candidates everywhere will
find the toughest road to Jordan the,
