County Candidates.

We this week make several further
announcements Of candidature before
the approaching County Convention.
The candidates now, SO far as we have
any authority for stating, are
For Clerk of the District Court, w.
II. Van Ness and NJ. G. Miller. For
Recorder, Jno. S. Tuthill and c. A.
Pound. For Supervisor, James
Wharton, Jr. We hear that others are
in the field, but have no authority
from themselves or friends for max ing
statement to that effect.
OF Mr.. Van Ness in connection
with the Clerks Office we have al
ready spoken. We think his entire
capability is unquestioned. Mr.. Mar
tin G. Miller, the other candidate for
this office, is an old and highly re-
spected citizen Of this county, far too
we'll known to make any introduc elton
on our part of use.
Mr.. Jno. S. Tuthill, mentioned as
candidate for the Recorders office,
is equally well known in the county |;
and, we may add, very favorably
known in the long discharge Of inn
portant clerical duty to be all that is
most desirable in such position. Mr..
Pound has been before the public as
County Superintendent and Shperyi-
sor. We know Of no complaint against
him, and believe he has made and
will make good officer.
Mr.. Wharton is to the manor bred,
if not born. He is farmer whose
honesty and intelligence will recon-
mend him, we think, to everyone as
worthy representative of that impor-
tant class of our citizens. H0ominn-
ted he will certainly be an acquisition
in our trio Of county lawmakers.

william Lloyd Garrison.

There is one man in this country
who is SO peculiarly associated with
the anti-slavery cause, from the early
devotion of his life and al his powers
to its service, that the most radical
anti-slavery movement was called by
his name. And this was at time
when the odium attaching to common
humanity and simple justice in this
country was SO intense that even good
men shrank from the name of Garri-
sonian Abolitionist. What CASTELAR,
says of the Venetian Republican,
Manin, may most truly be said Of
William Lloyd Garrison: 'Honest as
the human conscience itself, he pro-
posed to realize good results by good
means, to accomplish revolution
without excess The emancipation
to which he had wholly consecrated
himself was at last achieved as war
measure, but the greatness OF his
service and the glory If his renown
are none the less.
Believing that the Constitution be-
fore the war countenanced slavery, he
denounced the Constitution and re-
fused to take any part in politics. But
the moment slavery was abolished,
and the constitution amended SO as
to prohibit 1t forever, Mr.. Garrison
ranged himself with the party which
proclaimed and defended the equal
rights Of all American citizens. With
the same incisive perception which
had always characterized him, he saw
that the form Of the amendments could
be made substance only by those who
believed in them and had proved their
faith. He is, therefore, an unswerv-
ing supporter Of the Republican par
ty and its candidates against the
Democratic coalition, because he
knows that the liberty and justice for
which he has lived cannot safely be
intrusted to the care Of their old and
crafty enemies.
Mr.. Garrison, Of all men in the
country, has right to advise the
colored voters, and his reoly to the
letter of Mr.. Sumner we hope will be
printed and circulated as campaign
document. Its vigorous common
sense, its invincible logic, its unspar-
ing fidelity may very well surprise
those who have supposed Mr.. Garri-
son to be an impracticable enthusiast.
1t is perfectly calm, absolutely indie
pendent, and touches the very issue
Of the campaign. II is addressed to
those honest and thoughtful friends
Of liberty and peace whom the coali-
ton hopes to reduce by its cry of
reconciliation" But why, he says
to Mr.. Sumner-why this sudden
gush of desire to extinguish the fires
Of hate: Hare yo,s been hitherto IN
spired by q desire for vengeance! Mr..
Garrison remembers what Mr.. Sum-
ner has forgotten, that the Rcpubli-
can party has been absolutely free
from a vindictive spirit, and that it is
the hope of just such a Democratic
restoration as is now attempted which
has constantly excited the lawless
spirit in the Southern States.--Xur-
per's Weekly.

For Congress.

In this issue we add to our list Of
Republican nominations the name OF
Hon. A. r. Cotton, who was unani.
mously chosen by the Convention
held Tuesday at De Witt, as the Re-
publican candidate for Congress from
the Second District of Iowa.
Judge Cotton has been too long and
often before the people for public po-
sition to make any biographical in
formation which we could offer here
either necessary or interesting. Upon
the bench, representing his county in
the Legislature, presiding over the
deliberations of the branch of the Gen
eral Assembly to which he belonged,
and, for the last two years, represent
ing this District in the National Con-
gress-his whole record as q public
man has been that of the industrious
and judicious officer who has the tact
to secure and the discretion to retain
the approval of his constituents.
1t is well known that in furtherance
of the plan of our political opponents
to seize if possible the control Of our
next National ongress-sacrificing to
that end principles, Presidential can
didates, and everything else, if need
be-every effort to carry this District
for the nominee of the political What
is-it has been promised and will sure
ly be made. Upon our side, all the
confusion of preparation is concluded;
and the work of making sure his cleo
ton and the triumph of the principles
which as the candidate Of the grand
old Republican party he represents,
alone remains before US. Let US join
in it quickly, earnestly and persist

Wendell Phillips, who was one Of
the original anti-slavery men, Is out
with severe letter on Greeley, Of
whom he speaks a. 1.-The tool of q
conspiracy between Northern copper
heads and Southern secessionists
trimmer by nature" who, but for q
lack Of ability" would have been the
chief time server OF his age"
No men In the United states under
stand Horace Greeley more intimately
as politician and "reformern than
Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd
Garrison aud Gerrit Smith, the old
abolition leaders, and 1t is worthy OF
special remark that they are all oppos-
Ing Greeley for the Presidency, be-
cause they have no confidence In his
sincerity, and believe that he would,
II elected, be the "tool" of those who
desire to undo the beneficent works
which the Republican party has ac-
complished for the nation during its
twelve years Of power 10 the Govern

Republican Magnanimity.

or all the attempts ever made to
trump up false campaign issues there
never was more silly one than the
present frantic effort Of the Liberals to
make the public believe that the Re-
publican party is the party of hate and
prescription. So far from this being
true the Government Of the United
States under its administration Of AZ
fairs has been more ienient toward
traitors, individually and AS people,
than any other Government ever
dreamed Of being: The comparison Of
Hungary is preposterous. It is no an
swer to say that those expressions date
back to less civilized age, for to this
day there is not another country on
the globe which does not punish trea-
son with death. Every little while
the Republic of France executes Com
munists for the part they took in the
recent rebellion In Paris. After the
Polish instruction of forty years ago
thousands of men and women were
sent in chains to the everlasting SHOWS
Of Siberia for what was pronounced
treason. Since that time vast num-
beers have been driven over the same
road to the same fate, for the same of
tense, by the Russian Government.
Within the recollection Of majority
Of the present voters Of the country,
Austria hung Hungarian rebels by
the hundreds, and banished the less
conspicuous by the thousands. Exile
and confiscation are the mildest pun
ishment melted out to the leading
rebels Of every other country in the
whole family Of nations
Other nations are watching with In
tent interest the out-workings Of this
no.punishment experiment. They
saw with amazement four years
rebellion, bitter and desperate, close
without single case Of execution,
Punishment, confiscation, or sentence
to the Penitentiary for the crime of
treason. No other Government has
ever thought it safe TO pursue so
charitable policy, and there WAS
very general feeling that the United
States was running no small risk. II
the Republican party is allowed to
complete its plan Of reconstruction, it |
will be the strongest conceivable argu-
ment for the humane treatment Of
political offenders, and one which will |

nifty. 1t was reserved for the Repub-
lican party to apply to national affairs
the spirit Of the Sermon on the Mount,

1t is an insult to the popular intelli
gence to ask the people to join in
breaking up the Republican organiza-
ton on the plea OF charity toward
traitors. The kindIiness Of the party
during the seven years since the war
is as notorious a. its fidelity to the

AT recent Greeley meeting Ia Ken

Elector for the State-at-large, spoke as
follows:

those principles, and each year the

Of these principles. The graves of the
gallant Southern dead who sleep upon
every hillside in the South, over
whose graves the night winds sigh,
are reminders to me- of the love for
these principles which still fingers in
my heart. The second passage in Mr..
Greeley's letter means that John G.
Breckenridge aud other chivalrous
sons of the South shall be restored to
their positions aud influence. Look
Ing back upon the once shattered and
fruitless hopes Of the South, l now
see that the equal rights anu sover-
eighty Of States shall be restored, and
my comrades Of the lost cause shall
not have died in vain. This WM be a
victory for that for which they fought.
Mr.. Greeley promised to do all he
could to ala as when zoe get a majority
IN Congress. lobject to Grant because
he Is Republican because he is a
member of that party which wagsd
successfully the contest against my
brethren Of the South, whose orators
kept the fires burning that filled the
Federal ranks with soldiers. I have
heard it said by some that the Demo-
cratic party shall have no part with
Mr.. Greeley in the conquest; but l
feel they will not be neglected. Not
only oiH Greeley not forget WhO has
helped him to his position, but pledges

him that zoe shall not be forgotten in

Colonel u. C. p. Breckenridge said
at the same meeting:
