Thus speaks the Iowa City Standard, in
reference to the whig nominee for Dele-
gate to Congress. If Mr.. Lowe "wasnot
nominated BY aliques or political leaders"
pray favor Us with list Of the Delegates
BY whom he was brought into the field.
Please iaform us who represented Des
Moines county, Who Lee? Who Van
Baren9 Who Dubuquep Who jackson?
Il we arecorrectly advised-and we have
our information from . person who was in
the caucus-not delegate was appointed
in any one Of these large counties, conn
prising about one half the population Of
the Territory; nor were any Of them even
represented by selfAppointed delegates
except Lee, from which two persons were
In attendance. The truth is, more miser-
able excuse for convention never assem-
bled; and we are only surprised that the
friends Of Mr.. Lowe should not see the
policy q. avoiding any reference to i
whatever, The acts Of the caucus viii
be scquiesced by the whigs of the Terri
tory, for the same reason that influenced q
majority Of them to abstain from sending
delegates-the utter hopdessness Of success;
but were it otherwise did they believe it
possible for any one Of their party to sue
ceed-we apprehend there would be net a


little rebellion in the camp. a.


The reverse, precisely, Of what the


Standard states in relation to the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Lowe, is true. He ,ca. NOM
mated BY few political leaders, many Of
whom acted in the matter without the
slightest authority from the people, and


without any expression Of public opinion
in favor Of any one individual. How diff


ferent the nomination Of Gen. Dodge!
and how differently constituted the con-


vention by which his name was submitted
to the people! There there was but q
single unrepresented county; and the del
egates, with but few exceptions, came to-
getherto carry out the unanimous instruc-


tions Of their constituents. The remarks
of the Standard will apply to Gen. Dodge


with ten times the truth they vii! to Mr..


Lowe; and used in this sense, we are
willing to adopt them. As referring to the


democratic nominee they are true and to
the point.
