AS the time for the Twin conven-
tons comes on--now not three
weeks off-thc day being the lst of
August-whispcrs and hopes Of
candidates are beginning to agitatc
the political air. From a consulta-
ton held with one of the principal
manipulators of the double-headcd
concern, yesterday, we judge that
the following is n fair and full list
of gentlemen talked of as candidates
up to this time: Secretary of State
ID. A. Mahony, Of Dubuque; }. b.
Grinnell, of Poweshiek; d. q. Cloud,
of Nuscatipe. Auditor-Harvoy

that few could tell the difference.
Its negotiations for peace provoked
Lincoln into severity, and he who
seldom voluntarily punished the
most guilty, deliberately disarmed
Greeley by exposing him to the
public ridicule. 1t encouraged tho
hearts of Lee and the rebels at
Gettysburg by advocating surrender
if he should water his horses in the
Susquehanna. = Chicago Tribune,
1871.

THE Democracy are exceedingly

cal situation. The same papers
which a few weeks since were
daubing linn with the disgusting
SLAYER of their laudation over his
undignifed exhibition OF spleen
against President Grant, arc now
INDUCING in covert snecrs at him
because of his reluctance to become

Democratic party. The following,
from the Dubuque Telegraph, is a
specimen:
Sumner says, the time for him
to speak his mind on the political
situation has not yet come. Sum-

to say is Of more Importance than
other EcOple do"

answering the details we have
given, with dates, &C., we put our
charges in form SO brief, direct and
positive that they can neither mis-
take nor even evadc them.
We charge:
i. That Horace Greeley agreed
with Democrat in October last to
be a candidate against the Repub-
licans for President if the nomina-
ton were rendered him. li
2. That he kept this agreement u
secret, while he changed the tone of
his paper, so that from supporter
of the Republican administration
and Republican principles, it aban-
doned its party, became an enemy
of the administration, rcpudiated
Republican principles, and substan.
TALLY joined the Democrats. This
was while Mr.. Greeley held a Demo-
| cratic proposition to be their nomi-
nee for President, which he has
accepted.
8. That Horatio Seymour, repre-
senting the leading Democrats of
this State, wrote to Waldo Hutchins
one Of Greeley's "right hand" sup
porters and advisers in New York,
on the question of making Greeley
President with Democratic sup
port; and that Waldo Hutchins
replied to that letter on or before
May l, just before the meeting Of
the Cincinnati Convention.
4. That the understanding arrived
at between Seymour for the Demo
Gratis and Hutchins for Greeley
with other direct understanding
was communicated to New York
and other delegates to Cincinnati,
and was the principal cause Of the
nomination Of Geeeley, who had at
first little more than one-ffth the

Rest.

How sweet it is TO rest after the labors
of the day are over, when soft sleep
falls upon all mankind, and our sorrows
and miseries sink into oblivion. Ma
ture wears the gloomy robes Of night,
and it seems as if all things feel the SOL
itude of the hour, and have been ST.
fenced to repose. The day with its care
and business, its heat and toll, is ended !;
and the wearied frame may gather new
strength to combat with to-morrow's
trials. They who have labored hard,
and whose minds arc free from care
and anxiety, sleep calmly and sweetly,
undisturbed by the wild dreams which
haunt those who are SO busily engaged
in certain pursuits, that their minds are
still burdened by them at night.
The criminal lays himself down OH
his couch, but conscience is ever awake,
and tortures him with ghasrly,s ,spectres
of his crime. They who worship at the
golden shrine of wealth, are still en-
gagged at the midnight hour with devo-
ton to their idol. The honor-loving,
honor-seeking ones of earth, then in
dreams, realize their brightest hopes
and fame, ever-vanishing, yet ever
pursued fame, stands by their sides Of
fering the laurel wreath for which they
are so eagerly contending. The sick
person tosses himself upon his bed, and
gazing out upon the stars shining sol-
EMMY, silently upon the world, his
thoughts ascend to that better land,
which may soon be his home; and
where he too shall rest, and his frame
no longer be wasted by disease.
But here rest is only Of short dura-
tion.. The morning comes again, and
calls to renewed toll; and as it is with
the body, SO, too, the mind finds no
permanent peace in the decaying, fleet
ing things Of earth. We are tossed
about on the uncertain sea of life, and
in all its tempests and storms, the
Christian alone carries with him an in
ward tranquility. He trusts not false
enjoyments, fading honors, but his
hopes are founded on the Rock of Ages /;
and he can look forward from the tur-
moil of life, to that eternal rest prepar-
ed for the children of God.
Rest! how sweet sounds that word to
the wearied pilgrim; and he quickens
his pace, that he may reach his home,
and enjoy its ease. And are we not all
pilgrims? Should we not all be jour-
neying to that home, where all is peace
and love, and where the trials, tempta-
tions and disappointments of this world
are unknown? But many of us are
wandering in the downward path of
of destruction and are SO absorbed in
the petty affairs of life, that we neglect
the salvation of our never-dying souls.
Oh! If you love the rest of few short
hours after labor, think how sweet that
rest, after the pilgrimage of life is
ended. Then is it not a prize worth
your contcnding for? Strive for it, and
not for the changeable things of earth,
which can barely afford you enjoyment
here, and will be Of no avail to you
hereafter. Now, your ship is on wide
tempestuous sea; but let the compass
which guide you be, "faith in God"
and you will reach the harbOr of eter-
| nal rest, -l.rl..-..

How to Go West.

This is an enquiry which every one should
have trithfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exsmi-
nation of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The ~, Il. \ .. r. h." running from Chica-
go, through Galesburg to Burlington, and the
IL, B. Il w. Route, - running from lndianap
oils through Bloomington TO Burlington, have
achieved splendid reputation in the two
years as the leading passenger routes to Che
West. AT Burlington they connect with the b.
Il Mr.. X. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through Southern
iowa TO Nebraska and Kansas, and with close
to California and the Territories.

Horse Literature.

The fertility of the newspaper mind
has had fair opportunity to develope
itself to the utmost during the past
week, in connection with the alarming
malady that has attacked the horse. We
have had @Epihipoic disease" "the Ty-
phoid Laryngite, ,""the Equine Plague" !"
.'the Epizooty," ''the Epizoo.ie Evil" :"
the Malarial Incubus" and ''the Hippo
pathic Embarrassment" These are the
most serious and thoughtful grooves in
which the reportorial mind has run !;
but when it occasionally relaxed from
its sterner moods, it gave currency to
such humorous allusions as sold Epi-
zoot, '!Horse ALL" Exercise Promo
ter, . "Bootmaker's Friend" the "Corn
Doctors Blessing" and "the Epidem."
Ii will thus be seen that the public are
presented with large stock of epithets
from which to choose, and that there has
been no lack of effort on the press to
make itself fully equal to the emergency.

Be Kind to the Poor.

Ay be kind to themi Ye who have
never felt the bitter pangs of hunger
who have never passed through dreary
winter with chattering teeth and limbs
pafsied with cold, who have never pray
ed for the sweet forgetfulness of sleep,
to shut out for a brief season the frost
whose icy breath struck chill to your
heart, and who have never been prey
to the eanker worm of grief and misery,
which all these suferings entail, We
pray you to be Kind TO the poor.
Be kind to the poor. Yes, for the
blessing of prosperity which Heaven
has showered upon you, will yield you
no true happiness ifothersare starving.
Heaven has placed you upon earth, has
exposed you to like chances of want
and wretchedness.. In q pharisaical
spirit do not thank God 'fthat you are not
as other men," but rather with the pub
lican sue humbly for mercy, and ell
hance the efficacy of prayer by charity
and Kindness. A satisfied conscience
sheds peace and comfort through the
heart and soul, without which the i'm
mortal spirit cannot be satisfied. Fol-
low not then after the selfishness OF the
world around you, unless, like Dives,
thou wouldst hereafter reap his fare,
and view from amidst thy torment the
poor man in Abraham's bosom. Be kind
to the poor. Earth has more sorrow
than the heart can contain, more suffer-
ing than frail nature can bear. The
poor widow left to toll and struggle
alone amidst the desolation of bereave-
ment appeals in tones more eloquent
than words for your sympathies and aid.
The helpless orphan, brought into the
world and alone by the relentless hand
Of death, claims your guardianship and
protection.
And as you expect a continuance of
The mercies and blessing Of Heaven, SO
in this wise be merciful to others; then
shall the gates of honor and plenty be
open to thee and the pillow Of peace
kiss thy cheek. "a aHil
