RALPH P. Lowe, Esq, Of Bloomington,
has been brought out as the whig candidate
for Delegate, by some two or three dozen
persons who met at Iowa City on the 18th
instant. Mr.. L. is a clever, social man,
IA highly respectable lawyer, and possesses
fair talents. What can have induced him
to consent to offer himself up as sacrifice
to his party at the present time, when those
who nominated him do not dream of sue
|cess, is more than we can imagine. We
supposed the drubbirg the democracy Of
Muscatine gave him few years since,


when they beat him for the Legislature
with plain old farmer Holiday, would have


satisfied his curiosity, but it seems not.


Well, ifhe's determined on trying his luck
again, we welcome him to the track; but


IF he doesn't find himself ga used up COM
'munity" at the outcome, we'll cease to deal


i'm phrophecy.


Mr.. Lowe is an call fred'' whig, and
|wlli probably come as near uniting the vote
|of his party as any other man, but he can
mot expect the slightest support from dem
|ocrats. He is, too, openly opposed to the
constitution, and Of course can receive no


support from the friends Of that instrument.


Indeed, there seems to be manifest i'm


propriety in sending man to Washington


to intercede in favor of our admission who
is himself opposed to the constitution under


which we will be admitted. We will have
time to dwell upon this subject hereafter
more at large.
