That party in Iowa, is distinguished by
lts violent hostility to each of the most
purely and eninsnily republican features
of The constitution proposed for adoption
~ our fniidamental law. The large voice,
which, under this constitutioa, the people
will have in the affairs Of government, is
most Unacceptable and obnoxious to the
federalists, who behold in this feature d
death blow to all their schemes for the ae-
grandizeinento OF the fewsatsthe expense Of
many; and they openly and unblushingly
assail this, and all similar republican, fea-
lures in that constitution, with all their
characteristic bitterness. Such opposi.
tion however, is in perfect keeping with
the character Of party, which simultane-
ously lavishcs its spite and venom upon
the devoted head Of the patriot DoRa, who

tyranny, for his manly defence Of popular
rights, and his disinterestet efforts to se-

republican form Of government which OH,

shameful persecution of him, and incites
