Gle would teach Dr. n Jackson a little more "lsoon
and prudence than he has heretofore shown-Dut =
.the dog has returned to his vomit, it may not DC

paper he promises to show up some ofthe Democ1a'-
e members Il, both branches in his next number
something which he will most assuredly attempt the
abuse of Democrats coming more natural to nun than
the abuse of Fedcralsts This appears to be por
ton Of his creed. You will recollect how ne de-
nounced the Democrats in the Legislature because

Reporter" came in voted in favor of the giving the
printing to the Standard" But on the same rule
he should have denounced the Federal members ior
voting for himself-a professed Democrat-perhaPs
he might have done it had they not done so coads-
tionallu. which condition was that if ne (Dr. n.
Jackson> received the incidental printing OF either
or both branches the DR.. had obligated himself 70
share the proceeds with the proprietor OF the "stan-
dard." With this fact before you, you may properly
appreciate the doube-distled hypocrisy OF Dr. jack
son in falsely charging Democrats with attempting
to feed the enemy when he had entered into an en-
gagement SO to do.
But this was a mere ntcrlude to what was TO fol-
low. Look at his course since the opening OF the
session, and you find that Democratic members ana
Democratic officers alone have been denounced by
him. elias the Ethiopian changes. his skin, or the
Leopard bis spots that an editor honest IN his pro-
LESSONS and correct in his department, can IND IN
deiiberative body composed of political friends ana
foes, nothing to censure but the conduct OF those
with whom he processes to act, while the course OF
his opponents is passed over in silence or only men
toned in commendatory terms. This is contrary TO
the nature of things, and the editor who acts thus
is either too ignorant to be honest, or too dishonest
TO be trusted.
Mark the course ofsthe man who can find SO little
charity Cor an errng political brother during period
in which the Democracy of Iowa have been most
shamefully slandered and abused by parcel of dro-
Yelling Federal scribblcrs He lets their Infamous
falsehoods pass uncontradicted, when he notices
them at ALL does SO in the softest negative terms he
can find in our language while no word is too foul,
or no epilhet too harsh to apply to member OF his
own party who may have said "yea" or "nay" con-
tray to his biggotcl notions ofright and wrong.
The pretext urged for this extraordinary conduct
is that those whom DR.. Jackson abuses have devia-
ted from the Jefersonian faith This happens to be
incorrect Jefferson not only made laws but respected
them-he never taught to destroy by brute force,
that which had received the sanction of law, or that
one generation would repudate and violate the con-
tracts of their predecessors-but Fanny Wright,
breaches up mobocracy and violation Of all contracts
and DR.. n Jackson who considers her principles inn
macuIate, and who would deem himself honored by
being allowed to kiss the hem of her neither garment,
has set up the agraran standard among us, and all
who will not enlist under its banner and follow his
lead are honorcd by his blingsgate.
His career is nearly run, and the frebrand which
he now wields will soon pass from his hands. This
is merely written to show what kind of Democrat
he is who thus dcnounces of the tried friends Of
the cause, so that the people may know how to ap-
preciae his censure and to show upon what kind Of
grounds he assumes to be Judge in Israeli
