CITIZENS OF MUscArISE-The most important
question ever presented for your consideration, is in
review before you. and you will soon be called upon
n sleermine it. The first day of August you are
~ say wrrncr continue rungcr IN the corI-
dition Of a TEnRIToRr or whether you will assume
toyourseves the responsibilities Of STATE Govern
ment; whether you will emerge from the depend
ence under which you now labor or secure to your
selves the rights and privileges secured and guaran.
teed to your neghbors, and whether you will place
the STIR Of the rising and Aourishing Iowa among
that galaxy whose bright and shining light illumes
the dark spots Of the earth, and floats upon every
breeze, or whether you will suffer its lustre to dim
and fade as doth the flowers upon our wide spread
Prairics before the frosts of autumn.
This is not question Of politics. for every citizen
OF every party is alike deeply interested in the result
nor sit question Of dollars and cents alone for
other great and mighty reasons outweigh all consid-
erat'ons OF expense and urge themselves upon every
reflective mind. We fondly trust no man is indffer-
ent to the difficulties and disadvantages attendant
upon US in condition Of Territorial dependence
or blind to the advantages that would result from our
situation Of the members of this great confe
eracy.
We are not, and cannot be respected abroad while
we remain dependent upon the General Government
but. must present ourselves before the world &C.
cupyng an Independent position ere we can hope to
be regarded with favor or looked upon as aueht else
than mere province.

DvxocnArs or MuscAr1SE-On Monday next
you will again be called upon to sustain the great
principles of democracy, and to fight again the bat
ties in which you have heretofore been sscces:tuI-
To the POLLS then once more, and by your united
action show your sister counties that the spirit which
has animated you in the previous contests IS still
warm and active within you. Rest not while your
foe, active and wiley as he is remains in the field
Arouse your dormant energies encourage the fall
tering ard animate the luke-warm to vigor and en-
terprise upon this glorious occasion. Stand not,
wait not for others to move in this NATTER but each
and every one of you march on, as though victory
depended alone upon your exertiOns.
You have contended, time and again, agai lst this
foe, and in every issue you have been successful;
and viii you, can you. by your Indifference aud ne
glect now, at the last moment, suffer "the sceptre
to depart from Judah" and the mantle of success to
rest upon your enemy? You will not, cannot, be
so Indifferent to your best interests the best interests
Of the people, as by your supineness and inactivity
to suffer so iDglorious a result to befal you.
Muscatine, by her straightforward course in the
cause of Democracy, has earned fame which they
may be proud of-but which requires exertion TO
sustain. Democrats cannot lie at ease and hope to
sustain tho position they have attained. No 1t is
by exertion, constant and unremitted that this go
rous boon is to he preserved and maintained and we
res. assured you will lie ready and willing to bestow
the sacrifice Of your time and talents, for time, to
effect this desirable and important result.
Democrats beware of the doings of your adverse
res they active and vgilant, they Cat least por
ton Of them, as recent transactions plainly show)
do not war openly and manfuy as men, but under
the secret cover Of night and hidden means, aim to
defeat you.
Beware Of the ten, they are busy as well as sly,
and portion Of them ave CANDIDATES for your suf-
fages-and would hope to build themselves up up
on the rnins Of one of your favored sons-wllI you
sacrifice him upon the altar Of their CREATION or will
you not do as did Mordecai Of old-turn it over to
them for their own use.

u The partial gloom that spread over the
democrats Immediately subsequent to the nom-

red that victory is theirs. Muscatine knows
her duty, and will do il, on Monday next.

blaze Of glory that encircles the brow of his
more favored brother of the Council We
MINK his party do rot show him fair play, and

The LOG CABIN SLANDER.-The federal can
didate for the Council, in his peregrinations
through this county, has been in the habit OF
uttering against the democrats even more
vile SANDER than we deemed him capable Of,
although we knew he would "stoop"to almost
anything "to conquer"
He accuses them of carricaturing Gen. Har-
rison, Of defaming the ilustrious dead. by pub
fishing prints representing the deceased Pres
ident as laying in The repose Of death with a
cider barrel as his pillow, an old cabin over
him, the bats flying about, an owl hooting
from, its roaf- ard the he ,.;si..x-
ruins. A more base and willnl Islander never
escaped even the lips OF Dr.. Bowen.-Tiere
is, or should be, honor among politicians, and
some fair play in politics.
How is it then, with the print which the
learned doctor worships as his virgin deity.
The paper containing it, is filed with the news
Of the defeat Of the wings, at the last elections,
and the triumphs Of the democrats, and re.
counts the progress Of this great reaction from
Maine to Georgia, which is the last, and there
the editor displays his cut, and says. there
may whiggery rest in peace. Now this OWL

DR. BowEx.-Weighty and cogent reasons why
the Doctor should be elected Councilman.
He is politician, politics with him absorbs eve
nv thing else, and even enters as an ingredient into
the pills administered to his patients moreover he is
one Of the noisy brawlng kind. who would force his
opinions upon every man whether he would or no.
He is great .'public speaker" and would, were
che 80 fortunate as to obtain seat in the Council OF
the Territory" by his efforts and constant speaking,
carry every thing before him, and effect wonderful
results. The people, moreover have a'great partial

No JuDcEs YeT.-Oh the love Of our guar
dian: How should the minor love its prorec-
tore Iowa without any judiciary, and our
citizens suffering in consequence Of this neg
lect, and yet clinging 10 the arm that spurns
them from its embrace. The halls of Justice
closed, aud the judgements Of our courts lie
imperative. like blank edicts, without power TO
| enforce them--honest mer suffering and rogues
escaping, and bankrup,s failing TO secure the
e!-dorado OF their hopes and desires, because
OF the glorious suspense in which we are pla-
ced.
But what is the cause of this! The Hawk
eye says that it is owing to the neglect of our
Delegate. 1t cannot be so in this district, the
SANDER IS too base for that. Perhaps some
ten citizens Of Bloomington might account for
this neglect in part, to the satisfaction of old
Hawk. Should he inquise, he might learn
that there is Bloomington clique as we'll as

CRoPs.-Most Of our farmers have harvest.
ed their crops Of wheat which, with tut few
exceptions, came to maturity in healthy

crop has been an excelen. one, and much lar

~ The Clay organ q Washington Ci'y'
reveals one Of the most disosganizing schemes
ever preached since the organisation Of our
government.
Tho Clay Wings are determined to carry
the Tariff Bill through al all hazards and 20
arrest the march Of the veto power, at least
under President TyleA TO secure tins result
Mr.. Bolts is to prefer certain articles Of I'M
parchment against the President, which will
incapacitate him for the discharge Of the duties
Of his office, until q hearing is had. In con.
sequence Of which, the duties Of the Office will
devolve upon Mr.. Mangum, President pro tenn
Of the Senate, who will, by virtue Of his Office
be the acting President Of the United States
and who will present no obstacle to she pas
sage Of the Bill in question.
Tha, such measure is seriously thought OF
by many Of the desperate men Of that desper-
ate faction, admits Of no doubt; but, that they
will find a majority Of the House Of Represen-
