The Monticello E,.efress speaking ot
the position, or want u position, ct war;
Gus papers on the Senatorial question, re-
marks that "1he Hawkeye has taken les 8
."pains 10 conceal its preference thln sny
"of it's colleagues. Aud yet such is
dts confidence in the simplicity Ct hui
'tnlan nature, that IL anybody should insin-
euate its candidate was james Harlan, it
"woula set up howl that won'd be heard
"all over The State.'
The Hamkeye has taken no pains to
conceal its preference in this matter On
the contrary it has on several occasions
taken pains to have 1t distinctly understood
that it was favorable to the election OF Mr..
Harlan. But We determined before the
canvass commenced not 10 enter it with
any degree Of personal feeling, nor q coun-
tenance or give occasion for any bitterness.
nor TO make any comparison Of candidates
that,would seem to disparage the qualitica-
tons Of any. We still adhere TO this pus-
pose. We do not believe that we could be
persuaded or provoked into saying dis
psraeing or unkind word Of any gentleman
whose name has been mentioned in con-
nection with the office OF United States
Senator. hut this docs not prevent us
from having decided preference, nor
from expressing, in n fair and temperate
manner, The grounds for such prefer.
epce.
And having the the matter in hand now
we will give briefly aud concisely, some Of
the reasons why We support Mr. Harlan, =
We have known him intimately for many
years. We admire him for bis ability,
ropect him for his integrity, and honor
him fot his devotion to the best interests Of
the STATE and Nation, and for his eminent
services to the principles Of liberty and
Unior. fftis in the zenith Of his strength
physical aud mental, aud By his experience
in the Senate and in The Cabinet, and by
bis thorough acquaintance in Washington,
aud no less with the interests aud desires Of
the people Of Iowa, is now prepared to DO
them even greater and better services than
heretofore, though il would be a high hon.
or for any one to equal them. We state
what we know from our own observation
and experience, and what hundreds Of 9TH
or citizens Of Iowa know also, that Mr..
Harlan, when in official lille, was never so
busy but what he could aud would find
time to listen to the wants. and, If possible,
carry ont The desires OF his constituents. or
any one OF them, and that. too, without
reference to the position or politics Of those
who applied to him. In in'clleciualpow-
or. in political knowledge. in steady devo-
ton TO the great principles espoused by
the Republican party, he was the peer Of
any Senator upon the floor. while in atten-
ton to the individual aud general wants Of
his own immediate constituency be was
Surpassed by none. This is a combination
ofqualiiies as valuable as il is rnre--qua'-
i,ies thai in or judgement tie State
should continue to avail itself Of.
Proceeding at still further length the
Hawkeye closes witt, the assurance that if
somc other than Harlan shall be chosen it
will bow to that decision and give the suc-
cessful man q cordial and sincere support.
