Whereas, by the recent movements Of
those styling themselves democrats" a
proscriptive course has been pursued in
our Legislative Assembly, and the wishes
and will of the people of the Territory
have been disregarded by patronizing a
partisan press to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers, and at a far greater expense than the
editor Of the Hawkeye press offered to do
the printing for the Legislature. or por-
ton thereof, and by denouncing those
who dared to differ with them in opinion !;
also by extending and combining the entire
patronage of the Legislature upon their
partizan minions TO the exclusion of all
others. Therefore
Resolved. :hat we, in common with the
friends of Harrison and Tyler throughout
the Territory, believe Iowa to be Wing to
the core; and that when the vote is fairly
taken on party grounds, the people will,
by large majority. condemn the ruinous
and proscrip,ive measures of the present
administration.
Resolved, That we have been baselv
imposed upon by those who are long and
loue in their professions of patriotism and
professions to democracy, and that we
will be no longer led by the nose by those
whose democracy is the democracy of the
and is opposed to public opin-
ion and to the public good.
Resolved, That we look with pleasure
to the result of the late presidential cleo
ton in the States, as the downfall of the
Van Buren, dynasty, and the contlemna-
ton of the Sub-Treasury scheme, the
standing army project and the "spoils''
principle, by an overwhelming majority
of the true democracy of the American
People.
Resolved, that we hail the 9TH of March
as the suspicious day when the true advo-
cate of democratic principles, the friend Of
Washington and Jefferson, will bring back
the government to It's pristine purity and
and see that the several de-
par,ments over which he has the supervi-
sionary control, shall be administered by
the HONEST and CAPABLE. and that he will
recommend and approve such measures as
will be calculated to ameliora,e the condi-
ton Of the people, restore confidence and
promote union and harmony throughout
the republic, and that as long as he main
tains those principles, we will give him
our most cordial support.
Resolved, That we recommend it to our
Democratic Wing friends of each precinct
in this county to organize into clubs, that
our entire strength may be brought out a,
the next general election; and that each
precinct appoint committee Of three, to
correspond with the Central Committee of
this county monthly; and that each pre-
cinct appoint three delegates to attend
convention, TO be held at Bellview.
