OPINIONS or THE PRnss on TN

From the Knoxville Toter.

While 90 many Of the papers Of the
State still keep up tho wordy wal
about the next Iowa Senatorship,
those who keep still and say nothing
are liable to be accused of indifFer-
ence or Of something worse. For
ourselves months ago we stated that
our decided preference was for Ssna-
tor Harlan; and since then, notwith-
standing all the discussions we have
read, we have seen no reason to
change u mind. We think the
people of This Country would, il vo-
ting directly upon the question, give
a large majority for Harlan. With
the personal views OF our Represen-
tatives upon this point We are not
certainly acquainted; but have reason
to believe they r both in favor Of
Mr.. Harlan's denomination.
From the Red Oak Daily Express.
Mr.. Harlan has always proved him.
self faithful, both to Iowa interests,
and the Republican party, and he
has been . faithful servant from the
beginning up to the present time
The little fight that politicians are
getting mp against him, for bis &C.
tions while Secretary Of tho Interior,
under President Lincoln lie malicious
in the extreme and will help Mr..
Harlan, more than it will injure him.
Thoy accuse Linn of corruption in Of.
fee, and tell big stories about his i'm
mense wealth. his gigantic Indian
speculation, the corrupt use Of his
official position to obtain wealth &c.
This sounds well no doubt, to Mr..
Harlan's enemies, men who are bound
to beat him az all hazards, but the
great difficulty in the cas- 10, it is not
true. Mr.. Harlan is not a rich man,
he has been 10 the Senate eighteen
years, and is to-day, worth less than
$25, 900, Gin making this estimate we
except a residence in Washington,
which is the property of his wife.)-
Senator Grimes, made q, fortune
while he was United States Senator,
and we have in our minds e~yc,several
Iowa representatives In Congress,
who made more, 10 q brief stay at
| Washington, than Senator Harlan, 10
worth al told. And who will say
that they were dishonest.f WI are
prepared to say now that Senator
Harlan stands number one among all
the representatives iowa evc had at
Washington, in regard to honesty.

And "go for him" means an attack.
When financial troubles come to you,
They say, "oh, he's on his back"
"Fusll oil" is the new name for whlskey,
"spondulix" cognomen for pelf,
You've been there" when charged as too frisky
Well, "you know how 1t is yourself"
And IL n reproof you should offer
They tell You "that game is quite played
say, Walk on you dig, ulrty loa1er,
Or large "mansard roof will be made.
Then sometimes yo re 'cornered' 'or"euchered,
That is, If you get In AK
They call you "galoot" II untutored,
In every galcot's knavish tricks.
There are "thats what's the matter with Han

And dead BEATS on every side,
II the "skunks" will not alter their manners,
l don't care "cuss," "let 'em slide"
