Republican State Convention

By the call to be found in our columns this morning it will be seen that a State Convention has been called to meet at the Capital Wednesday July 23d, to nominate candidates for Secretary and Auditor of State, Attorney General and Register of the Land Office.  It is desirable that this Convention should be well attended and every part of the State represented to the end that the best men may be nominated, and that at the coming important election Iowa may speak with no uncertain voice, her approval of the Administration of Abraham Lincoln and her condemnation of the treasonable party organization now attempted to be mustered for the canvass by men of known secession proclivities.
