The simple fact that the Ihraht siugletl out Senator Couch as the ob­ject of its wrath, It) not only compli­mentary to the J'idire personally, but to Ulack Hawk county. It ia an evi­dence that the oppoaition of our Seu> ator lo the Dubuque hobby is death to it, aud, It: order to break dowu litis formidable opposition, the Judge himself must be destroyed.
