ADMINISTRATIONS MEETINGS.
The several meetings which have been
recently held in this Territory show that
the wings are wide awake. The way
they 'did things" lin some Of the Town
ships in Louisa, particularly in Black
Hawk, shows that even the ladies' are in
terested. This is as it should be. The
proceedings at the Jackson County meet.
ing are cheering. When once the wings
in the North determine to act as a party.
the loco focos may well tremble. From
the best Information that can be obtained
we believe that Dodge received as many
wing votes in the North as he did loco TO-
co. In fact, Wings throughout the Ter
ritory, in consequence of our want of
thorough party organization, voted for
Dodge. But they aciN mol do it again.
As he was elected by little rising FIVE
hundred majority, what hope can he have
of being reelected. The cry of sno par
ty" can't save him the next heat All
that Is wanting to ensure complete whig
triumph is complete and thorough organi-
cation and unanimitv Of action. If every
Wing will but pledge himself to vote for
the party candidate, who may be nominal
ted by the Davenport Convention, they
can very easily elect the nominee, whoev-
er he may be. Our opponents know
this, and they will endeavor to dissuade
Wings from voting their party ticket
| This is their only hope. If Wings per-
nit themselves to be wheedled out of
their rights in this way, they may be ap-
plauded openly, and praised as independ-
ent men by the loco focos, but secretly,
they will be despised as milk and water
politicians.
Our Delegate will soon be among his
constituents. We may then ascertain
what he has done and what left undonc.
We shall soon see whether he had all that
influence at Washington which his friends
said he possessed. There were many
things to be done for this Territory by our
Delegate, and ifhe has accomplished them
we shall most cheerfully give him credit
for them. If otherwise, we shall show
impartiallity wherein he has failed.
An adjourned meeting Of the w higs of
Lee County was held in Fort Madison
on Saturday last, but we have not yet
heard the particulars. A similar meet
ing was to have been held at Mount
Pleasant on Monday last. The Wings
OF Van Buren, are to meet on Saturday,
the 20th inst. Our opponents attempt to
sheer at these meetings, but their sneers
are much fainter than thew used to be. In
their notice Of the 9TH of March meeting
in this place, they endeavored to deceive
the people, by stating several absolute
falsehoods, which we have treasured up.
and shall point out hereafter.
In all the meetings that have been held.
we are glad to see that the proscriplive
course Of the last Legislature has not been
forgotten. Those members, particularly,
who pledged themselves not TO be gov.
erned by partizan action, but who were
among the most strenuous in insisting on
being governed by such action, should be
held up 10 the scorn and contempt of the
People. In this way they will reap the
reward of their doings.
Let the Wings throughout the Terrific.
ry persevere in the way they have began,
without attending TO the barking of Loco
Foco puppies, and they will show that
Iowa, the young and thriving Iowa, is
disenthralled from Loco Focoism, and
she will hereafter be represented by
Delegate whose policy is in accordance
with that Of Tippecanoe and Tyler too.
