BASE INGRATlTUDE.----As we have before
stated, the wings of Lee county nominated a
Mormon for the House of Representatives, FOL
the purpose of securing the undivided supper,
of tina, sect Of deluded fanatics, hoping there
by, to return full wing representation in the
House. Upon an exposition of this unholy al.
lance, the Hawkeye enguired, if in this land
Of freedom. man was to be condemned on &C.
count of his religious belief! Well, the cleo
ton came and the mongrel ticket was defeated
by the true democracy Of that county. In the
last number Of that paper, published on the
fourth day after the election, the only notice
taken of hei, defeat is in the following words
"The news from the Mormon county looks
rather squally, as brought by Gen. Dodge and
Johnston"
How sudden a change has come DER the
spirit of his dreams, where it was found there
were not enough of the dear Mormons to defeat
the Democracy. If this is not ingratitude, it
will be acknowledged that the editor of the
Hawkeye is capable of possessing one CRATE
full feeling.

GRAHAM's MAGAZINE.-The August No. of this
excellent periodical has been received. Its contents
as usual are rich and its embellishments, which
always in excellent taste, exceed those of any pre-
vious number, of any similar Magazine in the Uni
ted States, being an original Mezzotint Steel engra
wing of the Penitent Son, by Sartainfour figures of
fashions, handsomely colored, and beautiful pattern
for lace work. which were procured expressly for this
work, at cost of $1,000 to the proprietor, exclusive
Of paper, printing &c. The vast increase in the pa
tronage extended to this work, has induced the pub
Usher to SO reduce its terms that copies of the
work. YEARLY, will be furnished to clubs for SIS CASH
or nine copies, FROM july lS4l, TO JANUARY, 1912,
being the current volume for SIX MONTHS, for $40
cash, free Of postage.
Thus it will be seen that hereafter this is to he one
of the cheapest publications in the United States, and
must soon take precedence over such papers as the
Brother Jonathan and Boston Notion, whose only
merit is their size. The Magazine is worth dozen
such, and yet these papers find encouragement for
one year from thousands, who are disposed to pa
tronize them because they endeavorng to reduce
the price Of periodicals.

AND STILL THEY 'coME.---Last week and
week before we announced the addition oftwo
newspapers to the periodicals of Iowa, and
this week we have the pleasure of adding an
other. The MINERS EXPRESS, is the title OF
an extra-imperal paper, just commenced at
Dubuque, by Messrs. Thomas g. Keesecker,
the former condcting the editorial department.
at $500 per annum, in advance. The editori-
al department bears evidence of both the in
dustry and ability ofthe editor, whose political
sentiments are Of the right east. Wishing
them abundant success, we extend to them the

We learn on good authority, says the N. Y.
Journal of Commerce, that the number of APP
plcations for Office made to the Collector Of
this port during the short time he has occupied
the station, is very near TEN THOUSAND. This
is fact which speaks volumes. But few OF
the Offices within the gift of the Collector pay
more than comfortable subsistence for man
with family,-yet they are eagerly sought
for by thousands. And doubtless the number
would be doubled, if there was even hope Of
securing the object sought.

assessor, the Democratic candidates obtained such
majority as to leave no doubt of their election The
Wings had several candidates in the field, which
was the cause of this result. Good-if their ranks
are full of Office seekers that they cannot be graft
fed by the Executive and Cabinet appointments, it
is but fair that they should all be beaten by the De-
mocracy, even though they hold the power when
judiciously applied.

At Democratic Convention held at Madison
Wisconsin, on the 18th uIt. Gen. HENRY DODGE,
late Governor of that Territory, was unanimously
nominated as acandidate for Delegate to Congress.
The Convention having voted by districts, the men,
bers of each district voting among themselves, and
recording their votes by chairman in general con-
vention, the Southport Telegraph says:
"Stil further to test the sentiments of those
| present by resolution, the names of the dele
gates were called that they might express their
individual preference, every member OF the
convention recorded his vote, viva voce, for
| HENRY DODGE, who was then declared to be
the regularly nominated candidate, to be sup
| ported by the democratic party at the ensuing
| election.
Many of the delegates to this convention
| were instructed by their constituents, Others,
however, were not, yet it was found there was
but one voice with those assembled. Never
| before we presume, have body men assem-
| bled, whose deliberations were conducted with
so much unanimty and harmony of feeling.
| There were present at the convention, most Of
the principal men Of the party, in the territory,
and some of them, whose firm principle and
commanding talent had turned toward them
the attention of many of their fellow citizens,
as candidates for this important station; yet
there was no clashing of feeling; principle
was the word, and to secure this ifthere were
| any present who had ambitious hopes, they
Were willingly and cheerfully laid aside, and
every voice sounded clearly and firmly for
| HENRY DODGE. And we presume too, never
| did body of mer assemble with more con-
| fdent assurance of ultimate success. They
assembled from the north and the south, and
| from the east and from the west, each the bear
er Of cheerful tidings, and each animating with
| the most buoyant hope. Not a shadow, not a
doubt, so far as we could infer, crossed the
minds of.hose present, and when they departed
for their separate homes, it was with the con-
viction that their triumph was certain, with the
necessary watchfulness and exerton on their
part"

nf The Territorial Gazette says that J. D. Learn
ed, of Burlington has been appointed by the War
Department, or .by Gov. Chambers, to investigate
frauds said to have been committed on the Winnie
bago Indians. We presume his authority comes
from the War Department, as we know OF no pow

ment, and if he had the power, we have too high an
opinion of him to believe that such man as learn
ed would have been selected Cashiered for fraud

The editor of the Standard once took us to task
for having said that good cha acter and sound NOR
ais were not essentials in applicant for an office
under the present administration, but that the most
reckless not unrequently received appointments over
good citizens. Now we ask the ninny who con-
ducts that sheet, if the appointment of Learned is
not another link in the chain of proof that our
sertions were true? Are there no qualified, honest
and faithful citizens, to whom that business could
have been confded! Then why appoint man
who has been practcing fraud upon the people ever

tunity of smuggling from the government In all his

Their object is plain. They have 50 poor an
opinion Of the intelligence and stability OF the
pie Of the Territory that they suppose they have no
political principles to guide them in their course but
hiatt go with the majority is all they DESIRE Mis-

excite, cannot operate on the administration for

Having seen that the people of Des Moines ap-
prcciatcd his talents, and reposed confidence in his
honesty and integrity the editor can now laugh out
Of the other corner of his mouth.
On the 18th June in speaking of the Wing con-
vention, he said
"All We're delighted, and we believe every Demo-
cratic Wing in the county will vote the ticket rec
commended at this convention"
The foregoing extracts not only show that the
party lines were strictly drawn the part of the
wings, but they also show that the delegates to the
lug-cabin convention, wings from all parts of the
Territory. and the editor of the Hawkeyc have made
false statements for the ground work Of boastng and
braggadoca articles. In almost every number of
that paper abusive and disrespcctlul language was
applied to the candidates of the Democratic party
because, forsooth, the zeal Of the wing party led
them believe, Cor their dishonesty to boast that
they were in the majority in this Territory. The
result having shown that they regard not the truth,
but concoct large stories, to deceive both friends
and opponents, we submit the question to the hon
est portion Of the whig party--to those who sup
port its men and measures not for the hope of office,
but because Of a sense of duty-what reliance can
be placed upon the statements of the Hawkeye, or
the ambitious politicians who furnish data for the
same! Are they to be believed! If all this domi.
neering disposition from belief that they were
in the majority, how plainly does the result show
