VI <A'tSusit county 10 SEMI delegates TO the
Lynchbrrg Convention OIL April 70. It's anx-
iety for 'the Republican party" and its success
exoites our commsseration. But then its
''Staf OF life" is imperi!cd.-Page Courier.
The Courier has been misinformed. The
yIRGINIAN has no difficulty in the direction
mentioned. AS to ''bread and butter brigade, ,:
that is most too stale, but is cxcuslble coming
coming from the source it does. The Repub-
lican party OF Augusta Numbers among its
members some Of the best men in the county,
and represents as much uncmbarrasscd wealth
as can be found in this portion of Virginia
among the same number OF gentlemen. They
constitute the bone and sincw of this prosper
Gus region, are Republicans from conviction,
quiet, thoughtful and we'll informed, and only
demand the rights Of free men in the exercise
OF their judgment at the polls Their aggre-
gate wealth could buy the county of Page and
leave surplus fnnd.
As to the ''staff of life' OF the VIRGINYAN.
there has not been month in the last five
years the time the present proprietor has had
control OF it-that its income would not have
run the Courier for twelve months 1t is,
however, a part OF the policy OF tho Conserva-
tive press and speakers to refer to the Repub-
lican party Of Virginia, in the same spirit that
animatcs the above paragraph. They have no
principles or governmental policy of their own,
and endeas or to keep together their own hetc-
rogenions organization by abuse of denuncia-
ton of their opponents. They seem to be in
capable OF approaching the moral forces of
men who have the courage and independence
to confront this kind of current and defy it,
There is as much true, genuine moral courage
and independence to be found in the Republi-
can party OF the Valley Of Virginia, as can be
found any where on the globe. They have the
nerve out of Which martyrs have been made,
and can neither be seduced by fattery nor in
Inundated by threats. When the Courier
who are now seeking to incu!cate and dissemi-
nate national sentiment, and who recognize
national obligations, ii will probably enlarge
its scope Of vision and elevate the tone ct its
criticism.
The Republicans Of Augusta County are
not ashamed of their party name or ASSOC
citation. Their political faith is based in honest
conviction, and While not as boisterous as the
blatant demagogues who live upon the worse
passions of human nature, they are none the less
determined and fearless. Their cause is that
OF the constitution and laws of the country
the faithful observation Of amnesty obligations,
and the cultivation of a broad national feeling
I'd sentiment that recognizes the rights of all,
irrespective of condition.

This makes the Democratic major
ity apparently 362; but looking a lit
tie deeper into the figures, we find
that for Lieut.. Governor it was only
l59; for Supreme Judge 200; and for
SUI erintendent of Public Instruction
8. This is an average on the four
offices, of just lSl votes. A change
of 100 votes in Clayton or Allamakee
would overcome it. An additional
poll of 800 Republican votes in
Winnesheik county will ncutralize it,
This, we shall do if the nominations
from President down, are such as to
command the esteem and enthusiastic
approval of the best elements of the
party.
In the light OF these facts, is it not
idle to rest the hope of success solely
upon cutting down the democratic
majority in pubuques" Is it not
reasonable to substitute Clayton or
even Allamakce? What matters 1t
IN which county the gain is made, as
long as it is made?
Another point: The majority in
Dubuque was larger than 1t has been
for years; probably much larger thaa
it will be this year, because the poll
Of Republican votes was light. This
is trife to be considered in the
calculation.

What Gov. Hayes Is.

What kind Of q man Governor
Hayes is the Dayton (Ohio) Journal
tells thus: "Some of the unposted
papers have an idea that Governor
Hayes is feeble man physically
Well, he weighs between $50 and 100
pounds; can jump any ordinary fence
in the State upon which he can place
his hands; is an ugly customer with
the gloves in sparring matohj is a
good shot with a rifle or shotgun; is
a pretty good muffer at base ball; can
ride any horse in or out of Kentucky;
can cut good swath with a scythe
in anybody's meadows wouldn'tmake
a bad hand with a cradle in wheat
field; can pillow as straight a furrow
through fallow ground as the best
Granger in his county; can throw
Halstead, black or side holts,' five
times out of six; and can tie his right
hand behind him and fling Deacon
Smith over Monkey Johns county.
There's plenty of H-aye-seed in
him.

THE DEBORAH Republican, in an
able article which we copy in another
column, takes in hand the idea ad-
vanced by certain papers in this Con-
oressional District, to the effect that
the only chance of success for the
Republicans in the ensuing Congress
sional contest lies in the nomination
of one of three or four aspiring gen.
tlemen in Dubuque, on the supposi-
ton or pretense that he can so reduce
the Democratic majority there as to
make his election possible. The Re-
publican, as will be seen, riddles this
fimsy and insinccre assumption most
effectually, and shows that our assur-
ance of success rests in the increase
of the Republican vote of the Dis
arict, by good and judicious district
national nominations rather than
in the delusive hope of winning re-
cruits from the partisan Democracy
of Dubuque. We commend the arti-
Gle from the Republican to the peru.
sal of our readers.

Forey. Col. Cummings is the editor

he will take no notice of it. 1t i.

The Dubuque Times, melted there
to by an article in the West Union
Gazette, gives what purports to be
full lists of the Offices, elective and
appointed, held by citizens of the
several counties of this Congressional
District, the object being to prove
that Dubuque has had no more than
her share of said offices. We notice
that in one instance, at least, the
Times includes in it's list the name of
a gentleman of one Of the outside
counties,-one of the country cous-
ms who aspired to certain office
and did not get it. Now, let it apply
the same rule to Dubuque, and see to
what dimensions the last will swell.
This is o triflng matter, of course,
but as the expressed object of the
Times is to prove that Dubuque is
not like Oliver Twist, always reach
ing out her cup for "more," the plan
we have suggested will test it. If
the Times is pressed for space, the
list may be delayed until after the
busy season.

Congressional SpecuIatious.

OeCorsn nepuDHcan.
The McGregor Neacs is concerned
about this Congressional District,
and has been arguing the question.
1t propounds this conundrum:
what now is the bounden duty of the
Republican party OF this District?"
And answers it, partially, in this,
wise:
"Plainly to achieve success by the best
means within its reach?"
If by this the Ne,cs means success
a'ayhoao,-by any means-we deny
that it is sufficient answer. Other
wise the reply is fair enough. The
Ne'cs proceeds to argue the position,
but wholly from the standpoint of
breaking down the Democratic ma
jority. 1t says, "this majority must
be materially reduced or overcome,
if we entertain reasonable hope of
success" J. X. Graves, carried that
county last year by 200 votes; d. N.
Cooley carried it when he run for
Senator. Col. Lyon reduced the ma
jority in the city to SOL. Inferential-
ly,-by the Neacs' standard-the
District must accept one of these
three. We cannot agree to that
1t no more follows that as Congress
sional candidates either one could
carry that county in Presidential
year, than because Judge Noble car
ried Winnesheik by 1000 as Judi
cial candidate, he can do the like as
Democratic candidate for Congress.
The people of Dubuque County
know full well that If they wish to
have Representative in the Republi-
can General Assembly of Iowa who
will WELD the greatest influence
among his associates for the pro-
lection of Dubuque interests, it is
wise, occasionally, to sink politics
and send Republican,-especially
when representative business men
like Graves and Cooley will consent
to serve. Does it follow that the
rigid Democracy of Dubuque-and
there are none III Iowa more rigid
would stand by and permit the same
thing to be done in a Congressional
struggle? We think not-most de-
cidedly.
In order to see what the Republi-
cans of the District must do, let us
look at the vote of last year. These
are the official figures:

The Dubuque Times, in the pat

The Dubuque Times, in the pat
ronizing lecture delivered to the Bull
LEr1N, a few days since, makes this
remark:
The BULLETINS candidate, it occurs to
us, will scarcely welcome such over zeal
Gus support as invites comparisons or
challenges antagonisms.
We beg that our friend Woodruff
will dismiss his anxiety regarding
"the BULLETINS candidate" We
are not aware that Mr.. Larrabee
knows that the BULLETIN is support
ing him at all. We do not know
that he reads the BULLETIN, and we
certainly do not care. We do know,
however, that he has not sought to
to dictate what shall appear in it, or
the course it shall pursue regarding
his candidacy, nor do we think he
will-the second time, at least. We
support Mr.. Larrabee for Congress
because we honestly think he is the
best man in the field, not because we
wish to curry favor with him or ex-
pect reward. In so doing we exercise
our own Judgment as to what is best,
and if Mr.. Larrabee shall not well
come" our zeal, we shall not pine
about 1t, nor DO we think the Times
need to.
