Tho Senatorial canvass ha& ripened to such an extent as in our opinion to quito clearly show a preference for Mr. Harlan, by a very decided majority of the Republicans of the State. It is true that absoluto (JSS. nitencss cannot NOW bo arrived at. but if lameuess exists anywhere it IB not with Mr. Harlan. Therefore, we opine that not from Mr. Harlan's friends cotncs tho suggestion of a third candidate. Wo aro the more led to this view because it is a con coded fact, that tho Hon. James P. Wilson, tho third man named, is now and has been a warm sup porter of Mr. Allison, and that prob ably following out this wob a dis tinguished citizen of the Missouri valley would be the fourth man named. Now, all of these gentle men desorvo well of the State and many scores of other talented and true Republicans of this Vermont of the West, alBO dosorve well of the great party of progress, and it fitting and proper that the of oxcollod by that which has so long beslimcd tho Allison is announced has wo said California ELECTS oh for is largest freedom be assumed by every Repub lican to bring forward his man and advocate his election, cach candidate standing upon his ability, his labor for tho advancomont of Republican ism, and his real worth as a man and litness for tho placo. It a to is not tho fact, as has been cunningly, but un fairly assumed by some journals, that the Scnatorship is claimed to b°long. as matter of course, eifhor Mr. Hurlan or Mr. Allison by tboir respective friends. One thing wo do say, however, that it either Mr. Harlan or Mr. Allison is tho choico of a majority of the Republicans of Iowa, fairly expressed, then that choico should be honostly and care fully respected and carried out, and not supervened or undermined by tho studied arrangement of a con centtic ring ot batteries linked to gether upon tho basis that tho first in at the death the partisans Allisoc. to Cbief common of Harlan and To al! this wo havo only say, that the ooutost was opened with WHAT OUR Allison friends thought first-class bombshells, to wit: Tho Newman letter and the German address, both uncalled for and necessarily productivo of bitter ness, bordoring upon dissension, and closely upon those was abuso of Har lan's character, not cop perhead press against him, and Mr. Harlan and his friends wero immedi ately put upon the defensive and have so remained ever since, and havo been very temporate, having assurance in their strength, and, therefore, not nettled like their oppo neuts. a warm supporter of Mr. by so neatly up the globo^ver,andsigh for moro ground," and, furthermore, we say again, as "the one who poised the virgin blade of armed neutrality,because,forsootb, the bitterness of the partisans of Harlan and Allison has made it neo essary. The shot of all tbis seems to ns to bo that somebody is whipped, and an ostensible neutral commences the grooming of the now champion. The Constitution, ot Keokuk, takes up two columns and a half of its daily issuo of tho 20th with copious ex tracts from Carl Shurz speech at Chi cago, 111., to his German lei low-citi zens on the 12th inst. Of course it quotes that part whore the ku-klux and carpet-baggers aro sot side as tho causes side by of tho want mony in the south, and also parts of ago his speech announcing Grant as the greatest usurper tho nation ever had, and various othor things. Whoever beforo knew the Constitu tion to fill in columns with a republi can speech? So a republican speech is made a campaign document for democracy.

The sitato should be districted into as many districts as there are now cir cuits and wo should have but one court, and that should sit four timos a year, and have law, chancery, and probato jurisdiction.
