TEE FIRST CAUCUS IN IOWA |
We observed call for Democratic
$50 called) meeting at Bloomington, Al
short time since, to appoint candidates for
the Legislature, and to organize the I'd
nsinistration purity throughout the Terri
tory. The. first Caucus that took upon it.
self this great responsibility resulted in al
perfect failure. We understand another
is contemplated, which we trust may re-
suit in the same way. we hope the
friends of the People, aye, the People
themselves in Muscatine will be on the
alert and put down these Caucuses.
There are Office seekers all over the Ter
ritory, who have no claims whatever onI
the suffrages Of the people, and whose
only hope is to secure Caucus nomina-
ton, and thus bolster themselves into
Office on the Albany regency principle.
The people Of this Territory require
something more than mere party automa-
tons to represent them in the Legislature.
We know that the Governor is opposed
to carrying National politics into our Lee
gislature, and so are we, and shall be un.
til at least this ceases to be Territory.
But If the party lines are now to be drawn,
let those who advocate the measure be-
ware. It may possibly turn out that
there are majority in the Territory op-
posed to the Administration of Mr. Van
Buren,. Should that be the fact, and it is
by no means improbable, the first pro-
mitigation Of it at Washington will at
once cut off all our supplies from that
quarter.
There is another view of this subject
which should be looked at. The time is
not very far distant, when the People of
this Territory will be called upon to Sc
lect men to frame State Constitution.
Is it not desirable that citizens should be
selected to represent the people from all
parties in that Convention whose qualifi.
cations shall consist in their honesty, ca
paclty, intelligence and attachment to the
Constitution, rather than in their adhe-
renee to any one party? We do not say
that there are not men enough in the Van
buren party who may be amply qualified
to constitute that Convention, all things
being equal;-but we do say that inter-
ests and principles will be involved that
will make it necessary that all classes and
all parties should be represented on that
occasion, and we shall never obtain per-
fectly satisfactory State constitution in any
other way. Should the party lines now
be drawn we can anticipate nothing but
distraction and want Of harmony-all 10.
cal interests will be lost sight of and the
monster Party will begin to reign before
his time in this fair Territory. These are
some Of the reasons why we entreat the
people not to lend their countenance to
the creation Of party caucuses- and to do
all they can to defeat them-because we
sincerely think that party zeal may, in a
great measure, blast the future prospects
of Iowa.

REPORTED DEATH OF KE-o-KuK.--A
silly report is going the rounds of the pa
pers that Keokuk has been killed by
Nasheaskuk the late Black Hawks oldes,
son. We presume the report originated
from the circumstance Of Keokuk having
been slightly wounded short time since,
by Pannassa, Sank brave, whom we
saw in town a few days ago. Keokuk
was alive and well at the Indian village,
last Monday week.

OCEAN STEAM NAvIeArIox.-By October, ls4l,
there will be thirteen large and splendid steam ships
running across the Atlantic Ocean. Not one will be
smaller than the Liverpool, and than half Of
them will be larger than the Great Western. Four
OF the thirteen will ply between Liverpool, Halifax
and Boston, and the balance will run from Bristol
London, Liverpool and the Clyde to New York
The British Queen is expected hourly and the Pre-
sident will be over next spring; then follows the
United Kingdom, City Of New York, the Clyde
Steamer asd the United States, in rapid succession
The four Halifax steamers will be ready early in
1871
There may be twenty or thirty steamers running
the Atlantic from different points in Europe to
this country, but we can only speak positively Of
thirteen. A gentleman who arrived in the Liver
pool told yesterday, that the frame Of the Pres-
dent up and that she wosld be ready enter the
lists by the first Of next May. She is larger than
the British Queen.
