GEN. HEDRIcK, of the Ottumwa
Courier. spent several days in
northeastern Iowa, fortnight or so
ago, and since his return we find
the following in his paper:
The Sd Congressional District, in
which the present incumbent, Hon.
w. G. Donnan, is our candidate, is
made Il lively battlefield. The De
mocracy, by reason of our majority
being light in that district, has a
faint hope of success, as the. con-
fcdcrates think, and they are max
ing Il big effort. Mr.. Donnan is
canyassing the district with a pow
er that tells heavily, and wins for
him golden opinions. We have no
fears of the result. IF we do not
greatly err, Mr.. Donnan will be re-
elected by $500 majority.

In the language OF President Ma

han:
"Let US here contemplate the following
most impressive facts: We have had, in
this nation, most embittcred sectional
estrangemcnt Of about fifty years contin-
uance; q protracted conflict Of blood; the
subdual and submission of the States
which entered into the rebellion; and our
constitutional amendments, and the re-
construction Of the subjected States
What is the state of present national
conviction and sentiment in respect to all
these subjects? Here, we have, undenia.
bly,, attained to a perfect national unity.
The national mind has unitedly assented
to the issues settled by the war, by our
constitutional amendments, and acts Of
reconstruction, as finally settled. and
never again to he disturbed. When our
present vice-presidcnt atfirms that he be-
lieves that to-day there stands no party,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
lakes of the north to the gulf of the sun.
ny south, from one end to the other of
the continent there stands no party
whose voice is lifted against this unity Of
conviction and sentiment, he merely states
what all know to be true So far, we are
a perfectly united people,"
Yes, worthy sir, you have drawn
fruitful picture of the happy condi-
ton into which our country, from a
state of "embittered sectional es-
arrangement" and political, social
and financial disaster, has been
brought by the firm, steady hand of
the present Administration. And
we have our fears, dear sir, that
your head is not quite level on this
presidential question, when morally
and religiously viewed, if you would
thrust from the helm OF our ship of
State, now quietly floating in the
harbor of peace and safety, the man
who brought her thither, through
the storms and breakers that had
well nigh caused her wreck; to put
in his place the visionary philoso-
pher Of the Tribune, who hobnobed
with rebel cmissaries when all pa
triots were straining every nerve to
put down the rebellion, and who
now, to secure his election, has
honied words of encouragement TO,
those who still hate the government,
the conceited pilot who would
run the noble vessel again among
the rocks, that he might be able t
show the world "what he knows
about seamanShip.
If perchance this tidal wave O
the Liberal movement shall lane
you in Washington, as you now
feebly hope, may the changed stand
point give clearness to your vision
and correctness to your views, il
the humble wish of your ONCE ad
mirer.

FROM HaFPers weekly.
The pretensc about s'the CONVEX
sion" Of the Democratic party has
been wholly unworthy OF sensible
plen. Parties are never converted.
Conversion is party destruction.
For parties arc composed Of men,
and when large number or J ma
jor;ty Of them change their opinions
they naturally leave an Qrganixa-
ton which has 40 other occasion
than the propagation and triumph
Of opinions and policies which have
been abandoned. TO ask the coun-
try to confde the execution Of the
Republican policy to the Democrat
ic party under some theory of "ac-
quiescence" was simply silly. If
The Democrats had ceased to be
DemoArsts, what did the party Or
sanixat;oa meant To suppose that
the hundreds Of thousands Of per-
sons who composed it had s;,aul-
taneously changed their views, and
remained organized to administer
the government upon other princi-
pies, was so preposterous that it
could only excite derision.

prompt measures to suppress the
spirit of rowdyfsm at the Naval
School toward Cadat Congcrs The
outrage was the grosscst that has
ever occurred either at West Point
or Annapolis, as the ranks were
broken to assault Congcrs. The
hazing Of last winter, which called
out orders for expulsion from Secre-
tary Robson, was done at night,
and while the cadets were off duty.
In the present case if tho assailants
Of Congers can be ascertained they
will be summarily dismissed.

Mr.. Stoneman.

The confederate party of this dis
trict are wont to set up their candi-
date for Congress as 2 paragon of
all the virtues. One would think,
to read the Democratic journals,
that a candidate with character
was a rara-aci* in that party, and
that, having secured one approach
ing more nearly the standard than
usual, they would never cease to
cackle over him. As a private gen.
tleman, Mr.. Stoneman is unobjec-
tionable, but he is giving ample ev-
idence in his speeches around the
district that as a politician he is
quite the reverse. He made
speech on Saturday last, which, if
it was correctly reported in the
Herald, stamps him rs dema-
gogue of the first water. We need
only quote one or two of his points
to prove this. The first which we
mention is the assertion by Mr..
Stoneman that Mr.. Curtis, chairman
Of the Civil Service Commission.
had reported officially that one,
quarter Of the revenues of the coun-
try are swallowed up in collection.
No one who has read the recent
protest of Mr.. Curtis and his fellow
members Of the Civil Committee
against this violent construction of
the language of their report. needs
to be informed that Mr.. Stopemap's
statement was 4 dishonest, nntruth-
full one, and made with purpose to
deceive the ignorant. Mr.. Stone
nah knew that the language Of Mr..
Curtis, which he thus distorted, was
not in reference to Grants admins
tration, but Johnson's; and that 1t
does not refer to moneys lost in COL
lection, but losses resulting from
failure to collect the revenue. The
reiteration of this stale falsehoOd
in the face of SO full and explicit a
refutation Of it, argues Mr.. Stone
man not only an unfair man. bnt al
SO a very stupid one.
Again, Mr.. Stonernan reiterated
the statement made in his speeches
in the northern portion Of the dis
trict, that the appropriation voted
by the last Congress for the Fox u
Wisconsin Ship Canal was includ-
ed in a bill to pay the salaries OF
Congressman, and that Mr.. Dounan.
wishing to vote for his own salary.
was compelled to vote for the APP
preparation also. Mr.. Donnan rid
died this miserable plea in his
speech at McGregor, by showing
that the ship canal appropriation
bill was placed in the River and
Harbor improvement bill-its prop
or place,-and that no apPropr'a-
ton for members salaries. or other
inappropriate object. was included
in the bill. So, Mr.. Stoneman can
not even iuterpose the plea Of ig"o-
rance of the facts to shield him
from the contempt Of candid men.
IF ignorant before, he has been
taught the truth BY his opponent
He now knows that what he states
a. facts regarding the above mat
tiers are not facts by any means
Yet he braxenly stands up before
his audiences, repeating tho explod
cd ISLANDERS, relying upon the 'sno.
rance of his hearers for ihs desired
effect. II this be not demagogalsp
then. for the purposes Of this cam
paign, arc definitions reversed

SPEECH OF SENATOR CONKLING.

Mr. PRESIDENT LADIES AND CENT? LEMEN-For
twenty years 1t has been my privilege TO address
my Deighbors upon political issues and too much
ardor has, perhaps been among my faults Yet no
can vass has ever stirred me deeply as this No
election has ever appealed strongly to my sense
OF fair play. No canvass within my memory has
ever been so full OF foul play injustice and malice
none has ever more strongly tested the common
sense and generosity OF the American people.
Eleven years. service In Congress has made
me a close observer OF four Presidents
and OF many public men, and If among
them all there is one, living or dead
who never knowingly failed In his duty
that one is Ulysses Sydney Grant. There fore
cast in giving him the name OF sydney, lot his
greatest and gentlest quality is his magnanimity.

quate TO the greatest affairs-this man. who saved
his country, who snatched our nationality and our
cause from despair, aud bore them on his shield

MR.. GREELEY AND HIS "oLArMs,
An exam nation OF the fitness OF Mr.. Greeley and
his claims to public confidence Is the duty OF every
citizen. That he has shown great talent as an editor
and writer all admit but nearly all else claimed for
him now deny The very talents he has shown unfit
him for the Presidency. II Is said that great debt
is due and unpaid by the republican party to Mr..
Greeley. The account stands very differently, as
most persons understand it. Does not Mr.. Greeley
owe much to the republican party That party
gave him wealth, fame and influence. His
Tribune was sustained as n party organ and
was made mine OF wealth by the republican party.
Who does not know that republicans, whether pri-
vate citizens or postmasters or other ''Ofice-hOld
ers'' or country editors or committeeman, have
made common cause for years for the Tribune,
have organized clubs pushed and begged for sub
sciiptiOns and made the Tribune what 1t was2 Who
does not know that this year tens OF thousands Of
republicans paid their money In advance for

by false pretence is kept to sustain the paper
In its present gross and knavlsh course. Who does
not know that the position given Mr.. Greeley by
the republican party did more than all else TO make
sale OF his book called the american C0nnict,"
which Ia said to have paid him more than 100000.
He sent canvassers 10 solicit subscribers for this
book; and VINO subscribed, who paid him fortune
