in the nation attest; but in Republi-
cam it is grave offence. For what he
did, Mr.. D0nnan is unjustly condemned,
in our opinion; but this feeling exists,
and the Convention will be compelled
to act upon the case as it stands"
We wonder if our friend Bailey was
not conscious Of inconsistency when he
penned the above. If it constitutes good
ground for refusing to nominate Mr..
Donnan that a feeling which Mr.. Bailey
declares unjust, exists against him,
what must be said of Mr.. Cooley? Are
there not feelings against him. which the
Convention will be compelled to con-
front, involving charges that, if true,
our friend of the Republican cannot de-
fend? Is Cooley's record undimmed by
even one act? Is it possible that Mr..
Bailey does not know that the Democ-
racy are investigating that record, and
from it framing an Indictment against
Cooley's integrity, that in the opinion
OF hosts of leading and influential Re-
publicans cannot be denied, and that
will surely overwhelm him before the
people? Does not the editor of the Re
publican virtually confess this by de-
clining, in the whole course of his care
fully written article, to once refer to
Cooley as the possessor of integrity or
an honest record? And has it got to
that point, that man who cannot be
so endorsed is considered strong"
candidate for Republicans to vote for?
We say not.

has the following:
But the BULLETIN says that Buchanan coun-
ty Republicans will not support Mr.. Cooley If
county that has pet candidate OF its own
wishes to inaugurate the rule or ruin " poll
cy, it is tolerably likely to have an opportunity.
Here is tolerably plain intimation
that Republicans who cannot support
Objectionable candidates are inaugural
ing a rule or ruin policy A few inches
lower down on the same page we find
the following:
But we propose to be bound by no party ma
chinery to support any man for an Office simp-
~ because he may in some manner receive the
nomination. While the Review is Republican
in principle, it is essentially independent.
A plain threat that in certain con-
tingency Bro. Burdick proposes to bolt
the nomination, or, in his own words,
inaugurate a rule or ruin policy
Now, will he not admit that it is rather
cheeky in him to berate others for doing
what he says he will do himself? Has
it occurred to him that possibly the Blu
chanan county Republicans are as indie
pendent as he is himself, and that party
machinery that is to elect rogues to Of
fee is as irksome to them as to him?
While the Review is cultivating indepen-
dence, it would be well to try and be
consistent, at least to the event of max
ing each issue agree with itself.

Four or five papers of this District
have declared for Cooley's nomination.
Nearly all of these have stated the rea-
sons for their preference in editorial
articles, more or less elaborate and spe-
ciic. 1t may or may not be significant,
that in none Of these editorials, save
one, is Mr.. Cooley endorsed as man Of
integrity or clean record The excep-
ton is the Dubuque Times, which SIM
ply says that he is of good character"
They all praise him, but the compli-
ments are to his ability" wide ac-
quaintance," popularity" power on
the stump" strength with the masses, .
"yeoman service" &C., one of the breth-
rem varying the song with a gushing, but
evidently heartfelt pean to Cooley's
'large-hearted liberality' @. With the
exception named, however, not one of
the Cooley organs have thus far had the
hardihoOd to come square out and claim
for him character of unimpeachable
integrity, and yet this qualification for
a member Of Congress has not become
obsolete. We called the attention of
one of Mr.. Cooley's papers to this omis-
sion two weeks since, but it failed to re-
pair 1t the next week; on the other
hand, it emphasized its failure to give
Cooley character by brief allusion
to Mr.. Larrabee, in which it found it
perfectly natural to refer to his known
integrity" Are not the brethren carry
ing too heavy load this hot weather?

Two WEEKS ago the BULLETIN had a

Two WEEKS ago the BULLETIN had a
paragraph relating to the Greenback
nomination for Congress in the Capital
district, in which allusion was made to
the candidate, Gillette, as retired cap
italist and bond-holder, who, after the
usual fashion of demagogues, is going
about the district infaming the passions
and feeding the prejudices of the poor
men. In this connection we used the
following language: "This Is The signifi
canoe of the Greeaiback increment al
most everywhere. Designing men, many
OF then like Goodrich, of the Peoples
-faper, thorough paced knaves, are COM
ing to the front as leaders, and scheming
for their own profit, while the honest
rank and file are fed with cobweb theo-
ries Of finance and highly-spiced invec-
tive"
Goodrich, in his paper last week,
makes pretense of copying the para
graph, and in so doing brings into play
one of his strong points, viz: forgery.
Where we had "Greenback movement"
he substitutes "Greenback men, for the
purpose of making it appear that we
stigmatized the whole party. Again, he
leaves out the words, like Goodrich, of
the PEOPLES Raper," evidently fearing
that his own readers would find the H.
lustration of knavery too apt for his
comfort. Again, Goodrich cuts out that
part of our paragraph which refers to
the undoubted fact that Gillette is
bond-holder, and has very little to do
except to clip. his coupons; Good
richs object in this little trick being to
enable him to lug in an allusion to Gil
lette as 'pure-minded, patriotic, rich
man, who is ct2ltng to step ont of the
Lond-holders' ring and devote his time
and his money to establish the cause of
right and justice" All of which proves
that the Clermont fraud is very sour
Wy knave indeed.

Spanglerania.

The West Union Gazette, in its re-
port of the proceedings of the Green
back Congressional Convention in that
town last week. thus refers to the part
taken therein by the nominee, Mr.. Span
Ter:
S. T. Spangler was called for, but was
too embarrassed, just having come from
the farm, and was not fully posted on
finances, The conclusion forced upon
us by his speech is that the Greenback-
err is one whose early education was
false or neglected.
When the nomination was announ-
ccd,
"Mr. Spangler acknowledged his
thanks, but was sorry, because from in
ability he was afraid he would not be
able to do the cause justice. He would
rather be defeated as a Greenbacker
than elected quietly as Republican.
He had good deal to say about mental
slavery, and how the people were to re-
move,it. Because the election is doubt
full he considers the nomination more
honorable, and was proud of the privi-
lege of being sacrificed. He was deter
mined to exhaust all his ability in the
cause, as the Norwegian girl exhausted
all the saleratus in the pancakes, al
though it might be hopeless"
The West Union correspondent of the
Dubuque Times says, in his report of
the Convention:
IS. T. Spangler was called out next,
but as he was very voluble without
saying anything, your reporter was not
able to record anything worth reading as
coming from him"
Again:
after three cheers Mr.. Spangler was
called out who expressed his thanks for
the honor conferred, and proceeded to
state his position as candidate, but as
his speech adds nothing to the sum of
human knowledge any synopsis is omit
ted. 1t is proper to say, however, that
his speech was heartily applauded."
From all of which it is very evident
that Mr.. Spangler has not learned his
piece yet. We presume he will spread
himself over the deestrict' in due time,
and then the above carping critics will
hide their diminished heads.

In the preamble and resolutions Gre

In the preamble and resolutions Gre
ating the Potter investigating committe,
Secretary Sherman and Minister Noyes
were explicitly charged with having
made corrupt political bargains that
would Justify their Impeachment and
removal from the positions they occupy.
The investigation has now been going
on for several weeks, and in the absence
of the slightest evidence to sustain the
charges against Messrs. Sherman and
Noyes, it begins to dawn upon the pub
lie mind that they were made recklessly
and for partisan purpose, to blacken
the characters of leading Republican
statesmen without sufficient cause. The
vindication of Gov Noyes is complete,
and he went out from before the Potter
committee with the assurance of it's
Democratic members that he was entire
ly exonerated from all charges of cor
rupt or unworthy conduct. The failure
to convict Secretary Sherman of any
improper conduct is equally conspicu-
Gus, but the injustice of the Potter
committee toward him is in the last de-
gree contemplate and fragrant. He was
in effect charged with having bribed
Anderson and Weber to swear to intim-
idation in the Louisiana parishes of
which they were respectively Supervis-
ors Of registration and election when
there was none, but when he offered to
prove that there was in fact the most
fragrant intimidation in those parishes,
specifying his witnesses and what he
would prove by them, therefore he
could not have brlbed anybody to swear
to falsehood, the Democratic majority
Of the Potter committee refused his re-
quest and decided that his witnesses
could not be called, on the ground that
their testimony would mot be peril
nent, This was the reason given for
the refusal, but the real reason was, that
the testimony of Sherman's witnesses to
the Democratic enormities in Louisiana
would interfere with the making of
Democratic campaign capital for which
the Potter committee was originally Or
gained. Has there ever been more
disgraceful exhibition of INSCRIPTIONS
partisanship?
