Gen S. F. Carey, of Cincinnati, who
voted against impeachment, and now
sustains the Presidents crimes,
claims to be designated an "Indepen.
dent Republican" doubtless in the
same sense that Judas Iscariot was
an sindependent Christian" He
states that some Republican in Con.
gress came and sat down by ahim,
after his vote against impeachment
and said. "Carey, believe in my
soul you are right. would rather
have given my right arm than &c
have voted for it, but you know tn,
power Of party" It is no wonder
that such q member sat down by Ca
rey. The only wonder is that two
such choice spirits should not always
sit down together.-N Y. Tribune.

Confessional Contest.

Jutgs Hubbard having positively
declded q denomination in the 6tf
i ditsict, lively contest has sprung
| N there for the succession. Hon
lCoquer F. Clarkson, whom many 81
our readers hereabouts will recollect
Is the able editor. long time ago, o,
the Brookville (Ind., American, now
a full handed farmer in Grundy CO.,
in this State, than whom no better
man lives, and our able, gallant
Lieut.. Gov. Col. John Scott are the
most prominent candidates, with the
chances pretty equally balanced be.
tween them. Either would make a
star scano member Of Congress.
In the 5th District, the friends Of
Gen. Dodge, announce that he will
not run, for reasons Of poor health,
on account of his wouds, and bus
mess engagements, connected with
the P. r. R. If this proves true,
Frank Palmer, the accomplished ed.
itor of the State Register, which is
tho best paper west of Chicago, will
probaly be nominated, over his other
principol competitor, Gen. Samuel
L. Glasgow, one Of the best fighting
officers Of the late war, and . COM
ing Iowa man.
In this District we hear so far Of
no opposition to the return of Judge
Loughridge, except the rumor that
Mr. George I. Boal of Iowa City may
be pressed by his friends for that
honor in the convention.
In the Sd District it would herhaps
be an easier matter to enumerate who
are not, rather than those who are
running, but it is highly probable
that owing to the multitude of cans
didates, and the general acceptabili.
ty, and great personal popularity of
the present incumbent Col. w. B. AL
lison, that he will win in the scrub
race, and carry off the prize with
flying colors. The End is in the same
fix as to candidates, if not more so.
1t is however understood that Hi
ram Price, one Of the best men in
Congress, will not run again, and it
is highly probable that Jacob Butler
will be the lucky man.
In the lat. grest deal of the or.
position to ]. F. Wilson, has died out
owing to his bold manly course on
Impeachment of late, and it now
looks as if he wonld receive the nom-
ination by acclamaiion, compliment
that his pre-eminent ability richly
deserves. Nominating conventions
have already been called for the 5th
district, At Des Moines, the 9th Of

Look at Republican Iowa.

That is Republican State! A
Republican Governor, Republican
State officers. Republican majorities
in both branches Of the State Legis-
lature, Republican call over" for
years before and since the commence
ment Of the war. And the State is
out Of debt, does not owe q dollar, but
on the contrary, has handsome sum
OF money in the State Treasury for
emergencies. 1t has in proportion to
population, made as many improve
ments as any DemocraticState in the
the Union-yet there is not a Demo.
cratic State, or even city, in the I'm
ion that can show as healthy condi-
ton of finance. Still the democracy
pirate abont economy, and ask to be
restored to power on the plea Of re-
trenchment. In New York City
where the Democracy have had con-
troll for long term of years, they
have entailed a public burthen upon
the people in the sum Of forty-four
million dollars! The Gazette over
the way, offers the apology for the
| financial condition Of New York, that
the people Of that model Democrat
ic city voted this debt on Themselves.
Very probable! That is, the sixty
thousand Democratic majority voted
Democrats into office, and the forty
four millions of public debt saddled
upon the people of that plundered
city, is the legitimate result Of thus
electing and keeping Democrats in
office! Put Democrats into Office to
economize governments-to retrench
public expenditures-to reduce taxa
tion-to tighten the burthens of the
people !! Oh! get out!-[Stubenville
