aAwxHY GROWING WEAK
IN THE KMHHs.
Some Account Of his Doings Around the
District

| With the large amount of maneuvering
figuring, beg cling end buying, that Hswle,,
was obliged to do to secure tho nomination
and the sneaking, crawling and lying tina
he is doing to make votes, he is having
lively, interesting time Of it, as will be seel
by the following extracts taken from Paper'
published in the lower end of the district:
GROWING WEAK IN THE KNEES
Lord Hawley, the silk stocking oanoloa'e
of the radical party for congress IN this uis
trict, is growing weak IN the knees, ana
has become Disguised with the campaign
None but the assessors and collectors, assis
,unt assessors and collectors, and deputy
assistant assessors and collectors, and a feH
other e1pectsnts, take any interest in HE
election. His nomination creates no
enthusiasm among the labOring men for
whom he has done nothing. The "solid
men" Of his party prefer to see him be
feated, and are letting the campaign 60 by
default.
Hswley don't come to time. He failed to
fill his appointments at Young America and
Biggsvile this week. He knows the people
are against him, and he virtually gives up
the canvass. The Cable from thu "coa
mines" has got him down.-NoHmouE
ReUiep.
On seeing Mr. Cables letter of accept
snce of the nomination the Carthage Re
publican, the staunch advocate of the Han
cock county democracy says as follows:
Ia view of the receipt OF this unequivocs
acceptance of the nomination by MIR Cable
it is deemed advisable that the suggestion
for recall of the congressional convention
to nominate a new candidate be Withdrawn
In accordance wi b this decision a resolu>
| sion was adopted IN the county convention
| on the 29th ult., endorsing the nomination
OF MIR. Cable as the candidate of the democ
racy of the " district for congress.
Nj. Cables letter Is an able, candid and
comprehensive expression OF his views d
man and of the policy duty would dictate to
him TO follow if elected to congress. lu
this respect he proves himself to be as far
above the mere partisanship and petty
| srickery of radical politicians as the heavens
are above the earth. There are few men TO
be found in either political party, seeking
congressional positions who can truthful,
say that they can so far sink mere partisan
ship into stsresm anship as to do what
should be right and most conducive to the
interests of the whole country The very
many parsons who are intimately acquainted
with MIR. Gable, say tina. he is Jus, the man
to carry out honestly, faithfully and
fesrlessly the ideas set fourth in his
ad mirsble letter.
1t is true that Mr.. Cable will not be
personally present TO conduct the canvass:
l. l. L L
efficiently and ably represented by public
speakers who will, visit every portion of the
district in his behalf. So far from abandon
ing the contest IN Mr.. Cables behalf, the
canvass will be made thoroughly and with
spirit; and if democrats and conservatives
do their duty the district will be redeemed
by a handsome majority.
The same paper says in speaking OF the
action of the Adams county convention:
The nomination of Mr.. Cable was unani-
mousIy aud enthusiastically endorsed by
the Adams democracy at their convention
on Saturnay. Adams county is alive for
Cable, and will give him rousing ma ority
All of our citizens will remember what 3
Mandatory Prussisn speech Hawley made al
the district funniest in this city some weeks
ago, on the invitation of the Turner's OF
this city. and for which he received such 3
scathing rebuke from the old gray haired
minister, the Rev. MIR. WiSner, last Sunday
at the Pres byterian church, of which he is
such consistent member. Well here is
something bearing directly upon that point
and shows that he remembers what the
minister said or else there isn't as many
Germans in Oquswka as there is in Rock
Island. The Oguawka Spectator says as
foilows.
Mr.. Hawley, ike shrewd politicion, took
occasion to feel his way, while going around
on Thursday last, in order to post him eli
Tor his speech the evening. There being
German element here, Mr., Fl. was par,lc
ular to enquire what the feeling was IN re.
gard to the war now raging in Europe He
said he had been called out 81 home, by the
Turner's, and had there taken occasion to
denounce Napoleon and the French. and up
hold King William and the Prussians. and
that his ym paibies had been with the latter
all the time.
One OF the Intercepted said he had taken
Napoleon, but Was now in favor of the
French people, since they had established
republican form OF government, and consid
cred it the duty OF the Ptussian King to have
stopped the war Immediately on the surren-
der of Napoleon and treated with the French
Republic.
Mr. e. could not see it in that light
thought King William and Bismarck were
perfectly Justlhable i'll refusing to treat with
them, because their government was too un
sta BILE, and their continuation of the war b,
which 100, 900 lives have been sacrificed
since the surrender and millions of property
destroyed WAS right and proper
Being beaten In the argument, he gracefully
surrendered.-left the Prussisns to take care
of themselves, and in his evening speech
sang peans to the glorious French republic
AS q historian Hawley is some. Here are
extracts from q rel port of the speech he is
making in the lover end Of the district:
Mr.. Ell. said the great principles of the
Republican party are spre aiding throughout
the world, and would go forward until the
desposisms of Europe would totter and fall
and give place to Republican governments
Already there had been an uprising of the
people IN Spain, who had driven Isabella
from her throne, and declared for arepublici
France, the glorious young Republic
received high encomium for the part she
has taken in denouncing the emperor AND
declaring herself a Republic:
On the subject of the tariff, he placed
himself squarely upon the Democratic
plgtform and anolopi,ed for Compress not
having time at its last session of eight
months, to perfect and pass a general bill
The balance of the speech is Off of about
the same piece, and illustrates the fact that
Mr. Hawley is not so much Of knave as he
is fool Here he thinks loud mouthed
sympathy with Prussia will gain votes, down
in other parts of the district, and according
ly shouts Justify, Tiro Ia France. We trus,
