TRuMR

Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois, is a
blathcring Liberal, principally, we sup
pose because he drafted all the illiber-
al acts of Congress, for the past ten
years. He is moreover Reformer,
and denounccr Of official corruption,
because he accepted bride of ten
Thousand dollars in the McArdle case.
which was then pending before the
Senate, of which he was q member.
Tho Inter-Ocean, thus summarizes
the latter case:
F,st-That he pocketed Ten Thou
sand Dollars for nothing more than
securing the passage of a law through
Congress.
Sceoad-lf this was necessary and
just, his daty, aud oath as Senator.
compelled him to do what he did as
such Senator, and for no other compen-
sation than is provided by law for
Senators of the United States.
1Hird--That if he did not, and does
not now, believe the law necessary and
just, his action was corrupt and the
reception of the fee moved him to an
act for which he should be impeached
and disqualified.
Fourth--That the reception of Ten
Thousand Dollaas is in violtion of q
statutory law, which says no person
whose salary is fixed by law shall re-
celye pay whatever for any service rem
dered the Governments.
FJth-That as an attorney TO the
McArdle case--if he claims to have ac-
ted az sucli--he pocketed the Ten Thou
sand Dollars for no service and that
the only point he suggested in the ar
gument was decided to be not well ia
ken, and overruled.

We clip the following special from |
tho Chicago Tribune which bears the
ear marks of J. B. Grin
nell himself:
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATIONS.
Special Despatch 10 Chicago Tribune.
OTTUMwA, Ia, Aug. %.
aHon. J.. B. Grinnell attending the |
Convention held here for nomi-
mating Congressman for the
Sixth Congressional District, was SER
enaded at the Ballingall House, last
night, by large crowd Of laborers,
and spoke substantially upon The po-
litical issues Of the day. Mr.. Grinnell
reviewed the workings of the present
administration, pointing out in plain
and concise manner the corruption
which existed in the appointing power
of the President, and giving good,
sound, and substantial reason why
every loyal, patriotic and honorable
citizen should support Greeley in pref
erence to Grant. He was followed by
Colonel Mackey and Mr.. Morgan, and
the meeting closed at half-past eleven
with three rousing cheers for Greeley
and Brown.
Judge II. II. Trimble received the
nomination for the Sixth C Congressional
District and Ex-Gov. Stone was unan-.
imously nominated for the Electoral
ticket.
The Liberal movement is fast gain
ing ground in the State, and it is pre-
dictcd now that the election will be
very close, Notwithstanding the State
gave 10000 majority for Grant in 1868. )"
The truth is that there was q poor
thin audience; miserable, common
place speeches: no music and no sere-
made, and a disguised crowd with
scarcely laboring man in it.
And this is a specimen Of the brazen
effrontery; the audacious and wilful
mendacity which fills the columns of
the Chicago Tribune from day to day
about Liberal rallies from one end Of
the country to the other, having for
the most part no better foundation
of truth than this Ottumwa dispatch.
Doubtless, indeed it is certain, that
this dispatch was sent at the instiga-
ton of j. B. Grinnell. That the dis
patch is false, our people well know.
1t is equally true that the speech of
Grinnell was little else than tissue of
falsehoods and fell still born upon the
audience of $50 people.

LATE leolaIMAx1elgs.

The Republicans of New York have
an invincible ticket. John A. Dix, o
war Democrat, but who has not been
much of Democrat since he ordered
"the first man shot in his tracks, who
pulls down the American flag," was
nominated on Thurlow Weed g motion
by reclamation, for Governor, with
Gen. John C. Robinson, one legged
hero of the war, for lieutenant Govern
OF. Fred Douglass and General
Stewart l.. Woodford, were chosen
electors at large, and Lyman Tremaine,
the ablest orator in the State, for Con-
gressman at large. This is the strong
est ticket ever run in New York, and
will sweep the Stately $4,000 majority.
The Dolly Warden Convention at
Toledo, resulted in the Democratic
side nominating F. H. Hurd for Con-
gress, while the Libs bolted.
Judge Dawson A Walker, has been
nominated Governor of Georgia, by
the Republicans. He is a native. and
a popular man, and will be elected.
J. M. Shelley, of Cox & Shelley,
Keokuk, heretofore sort of Conserv-
alive Republican, has been set up to be
knocked down by McCrary, in the first
Iowa. Shelley is too old and to clever
gentleman for such fOolishness.

Know.Noth:sn..

1t is Albert Pike, the long haired Ar
kansas vagabond who commanded the
brigade of Indians at Pea Ridge that
sca.ped our dead, who now rushes in
to print to prove that Henry Wilson
was know-Nothing twenty years
ago.
The positive statement of Senator
Wilson to the contrary, together with
his public acts, votes and speeches dur
ing thirty years of distinguished public
service, will probably go as far in this
matter rs the unsupported statements
of this superanuated old traitor, and
the blather of the political prostitute
Grinnell.

West virginia.

The Republicans of West Virginia,
saw fit this year to cast their votes for
Col. Jacobs an Independent Democrat
for Governor who was the candidate
against Camden the regular Demo-
grceleycrat, and Jacobs is elected by 5
to 6O0O majority. Still the Democrats
will claim that the result there is with
out significance. The democrats this
year are all voting for II. G. Should
he be elected wouldn't it be substan-
tial triumph for the Democrats? And
had Camden been elected wouldn't
they all be splitting their little teenty
weenty throats? The election Of
Jacobs is no great triumph of the. Re-
publicans, but is great disaster to the
Greeleyitcs who had concentrated all
their strength on Camden and have
gone down in all inglorious defeat.
Again we appeal to some Chow
chower well up in arithemetic to figure
us up some one little State that is in
the remotest danger of going for
Greeley.

Theodore Parker, in his day, under
stood Horace Greeley pretty well. In
a letter to w. II. Herndon, of Spring.
field, H., August %, 1858, in which he
reviewed the possible candidates for
President, he referred to Greeley as
follows:
"Greeley is not fit for leader. He
is capricious, crotchetv, full Of whims
and wrong-headcd. How he talks a.
bout political economy, which he
knows SO little about! How he took
the side of Russia in the Crimean war |
How is he now? Unwilling to object
to the admission of slave State and
what mean defence he makes Of a
mean speech! He ia honest, l think,
but pitiably weak for man in such a
position"
In another letter, September %, of
that year, he wrote to the same gen.
tleman:
II long since lost all confidence in
Greeley, both as the representative of
moral principle, and as the adviser
of expedient measures. Greeley says
he would admit more new slave States.
1 despise such miserable copaydice all
the more IN such man."
The weekly Ottumwa courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1857-1872, 1872-08-29
a snonssroNrsT.

Horace Greeley was not only an
open and outspoken secessionist at the
opening of the war, as the files of his
paper fully prove, but at the close Of
the conflict in his history of the war,
he deliberately wrote the following
frcc-love doctrines about our form of
government4
Nay, we hold with jefferson, to the
inalienable right of communities to
alter or abolish forms of government
that have become oppressive or inju-
rious, and if the Cotton States shall be-
come satisfied that they can do better
out of the Union than in it, We insist
on letting them go in peace.
The right to secede may be q Ievol-
tionsry one, but ittexists, nevertheless,
and we do not see how one party has
right to do what another has right
to prevent. We must ever resist the
asserted right of any State to remain
in the Union and nulify and defy the
laws thereof. To withdraw from the
Union is quite another matter and
whenever considerable section Of our
Union shall deliberately resolve t. &c
out, we shall resist oil coercive meas
ures designed to keep them in it. We
hope never to live in a republic where
one section is pinned to another by
bayonets.
Now let us suppose an absurdity, to-
wit: That Horace should be elected
President, and that directly thereafter
one by one the Southern, and yet ma
lignant and dissatisfied states should
withdraw and reorganize the Southern
Confederacy, do you think Greeley
would use the army and navy to CO.
cree them back? tits no use to pooh
pooh the danger down the wind, be-
cause the probability is as great on this
day, as it was a. the same period in
1860.
And is this the entertainment to
which the side show to the late rebel
lion is ivniting us.
The matter is serious and worthy of
the thoughtful consideration Of all
patriots,

The New York Herald Of the 2lst,
inst says:
The Hon. Alexander w. Randall,
Ex-Governor of Wisconsin, and Post
Master General under Andy johnson,
is lying critically i'll at his residence
in Ellnira."
Which is pretty enterprising for a
Metropolitan Journal, considering that
Randall has been dead, buried and
obituaried for nearly month. But
then perhaps the Post Office Depart
mcnt, in Washington, which was drap.
ed in mourning, didn't know anything
about it.

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONvEN-
TON,


The Republican State Convention
met i'm Moore's Hall, Des Moines,
Wednesday, Aug. q, at 10L o'clock.
A. NJ. The attendance was full, the
Hall being crowded.
The Convention was called to order
by Col. Tichenor, Chairman ofthe State
Central Committee. The Colonel
stated that he had been instructed by
the Committee to report the following
gentlemen as the temporary officers Of
tho Conventions:
Chairman Hon. M. NJ. Walden of
Appanoose County.
Secretaries Rich, of Du-
buque; r. H. Dutton, of Linn; Frank
Echelberger, of Davis.
Gov. Walden, being introduced,
said:
Gentlemen Of the Convention: I
thank you for the honor of being call
ed to preside over your deliberations.
No party can hope to succeed in this
country unless 1t is founded upon
principles of justice. No party can
long exiet which tramples upon any
class of our fellow-citizens, be they
black or white. The history Of the
Republican party extends over fifteen
years. 1t has done enough to crowd a
century. The man at the head of our
| ticket has been the Chief actor in these
most important events. We will re-
elect him upon the principle that one
good term deserves another. He has
redeemed all his pledges. His Admin
lstratlon has been q success and the
people will triumphantly endorse it at
the polls on the fifth of November.
| The Rev. p. P. Ingalls,, of Des
Moines, invoked the Divine Blessing.
The Convention then appointed
Committees on Credentials, Permanent
Organization, Resolutions, &c., land
adjourned until 2 O'Clock.
