~ We have cheering news from the cleo
toral district composed of the counties of Co.
dar, Linn, and Jones. We learn that that d.
vision in the Democratic ranks which has been
the means, every year, Of electing Wing rep
resentalive, has been healed, and that the De-
mocracy are now, for the first time united in
support of the nominees of the convention
Their opponents, tue to federal principles, are
endeavorng to defeat Mr.. Smyth, because, for
sooth, land OF liberty cost him separation
from his friends and relatives, and journey
across the waters, while they were fortunate
enough to be born where neither enterprise nor
money were required for its enjoyment. A.
ganst such principles we must ever war
With as much the appearance Of justice might
they refuse tc own their Redeemer, because he
was born in a manger, and prosecuted by his
enemies. Merit or dement, lies not in the
place of birth, but in the bosom, and those who
refuse to concede or reward it because its pos
essor was born under less fortunate circum-
stances than themselves, were born in the pos
session Of greater blessings than they deserve.
From that decidedly Democratic county,
jefferson, we learn that the work Of organiza-
lion has not been perfected, and, like Demo-
cratic Musca.ine, she is likely to be misrep-
resented in the Legislature by federal Wing.
because Of too many Democrats aspiring to
that station. Shall it be said of Jefferson and
Muscatine that their Democrats are too SELFISH
too aspiring, too unmindful of the importance
Of sustaining their principles, to concede their
claims and their preferences, and unite in sup
port of the most prominent and acceptable can.
didate! Our brethren in other counties look
TO US to do our duty. Let US, Democrats, not
deceive them; but let US come to the rescue,
and fully redeem our reputation, by electing an
unwavering Democrat to the Legislature, one
who will never betray us by playing into the
hands Of our opponents.
