The Catholic spirit Of ,yhiggcrv.

The recent farcical attempt Of the Ex-
press newspaper to appeal to the basest
passions Of bigotry and superstilion-to
stir up among the Catholics hostility to
their government--to induce them to be.
lieve that the democratic party (Which has
stood alone in defending their equal rights,
and in according to them equal federation
with other religious sects, are hostile to
them, and seeking to put down their reli-
gion at the point of the bayonet in Mexico,
furnishes strong contrast to the real sen.
timents Of the wings, as expressed on all
occasions, when they give vent to their
unfettered feelings. Scarcely two weeks
have gone by since the whig party Of AL
bany county--the capital Of the EN- ire
State elected as District Attorney, BY a
wing party vote, man who, when he "a.
yored Native Americanism, with its pros.
pective bans against naturalized citizens
and especially against Catholics was to be
the popular hobby Of the day. This whie
District Attorney, Is. H. Hammond, ut +
tered the following anathemas against
Catholics:
but we have seen new principle in.
fused INTO the contest--a principle which,
as Americans, as Protestants, we cannot
but denounce.. We have seen the FOREIGN
Catholics banding themselves together. os
strong as Ignorance and bigotry can make
men; marching in body to the polls, and
together, as one man, casting their votes
as Catholics. We have seen this refuse of
foreign countries this importation of CATH.
olicism, this starueling election from the ig.
norance and superstition Of European popu.
lafion, attempting to control the policy of
our country, and attempting to override
the intelligent and patriotic people of our
own land"
And yet the organs of the party which
elect as their standard-beare such men
as he who gave vent to these intolerant de-
nunciations and SANDERS against Catholics,
have the cool assurance, the impudent hy-
pocracy, to charge upon democaatic ad-
ministration design to subvert the Cath
Ollie religion by force.
How long is it since these same whig
organs were denouncing the President for
sending on with oar armies in Mexico
Catholic Chaplains, to act as spiritual
guides TO those of their own faith in our
army not only, but among those OF the
Mexicans whom they might have the op-
potupity of reaching? How long is it since
the nerves Of these Native wings seemed
very much shocked at the liberal language
addressed by Gen. Scott, by order OF his
government, to the Catholics in Mexico9
But there is no depth of depreciation TO
which these wing demagogues will not
resort, for the petty purpose of attempting
to make little political capital. But this
latest and vilest attempt will not only prove
futile, but will react upon its authors with
overwhelming re,ribution.-N. Y. Globe

The Board OF Public works.

!. ~ A~Sess~ W sa~AsS W VI nSs
1t is, perhaps unnecessary for us to
dwell at the present time upon the qualifi.
cations Of the democratic candidates for
the Board Of Public Works. Suffice it to
say, that they are all good business men,
and eminently fitted to fill with honor the
different Offices Of the Board for which
they are candidates: that they are honest.
capable, and faithful to the Constitution.
Other qualifications they have, but with
these to recommend them to the people,
we are content 10 send them forth, conf
dent that in due time they will all return,
bearing their sheaves with them.
In connection with this subject we wish
to notice an attempt which is being made
on the part Of the wing press, to get up a
sectional feeling between the North and
South, for the purpose Of defeating Mr..
CoRKEnY. And in noticing this move, it
is far from our wish to excite counter
feeling, or one which would operate in his
favor in a different section of the State
We are satisfied that no such feeling i.
entertained on the part of any portion Of
the democracy. The wings, north and
south, will adhere closely to their ticket,
and whatever local disaffection they can
excite in our ranks will, they think, be
clear gain to them.
But this game will not work. We en-
terrain no apprehensions of any consider
able portion Of the democracy being led
away by movement which is predicated
upon supposition that the democracy of
any portion Of Iowa will desert their can
didates. Such hope, if entertained on
the part Of our opponents, is sure to be
blasted. When nomination is made and
the faith Of our party fairly and honorably
pledged, through its representatives in
convention, honor and justice, to say moth
ing Of self-defence, demands that it should
be strictly adhered TO.
Wa call upon the democracy, therefore,
in each and every portion of the State, TO
stand up manfully to the support Of their
nolninees-of all their nominees. The
North, we feel assured, will give its full
party vote for the nominees in The South:
the South on the other hand, we feel equal
~ confident, will adhere as strictly to the
candidate for the North. On the mainte.
nance Of this mutual good faith depends,
not only our success, but our very exis-
tence as party. Let our friends see to
it, therefore, that no untoward circum-
stance occur to impair this mutual good
faith.
IL IfGen Brown is SO "talented ," a
man end SO much of gentleman as some
Of tho wing prints represent, why don't
the Demoines Valley Wing, the organ Of
its party in the second district, hoist his
name to head of its columns? There are
but two wing papers in that district, and
at latest dates the one above alluded to had
not YET graced its columns with his name.

One of their adventures he relates as

to take us. He and about one hundred

showed them our rifles and holsters
these are the passports of American
citizens. They followed us IS miles

While upon this subject, we cannot re-
fraiE from an expression Of pride and sa.
tisfaction at the working in practical ope-
ration of this much abused feature in the
judicial system Of Iowa. We may say,
without prejudice to the talents ofthe legal
fraternity in the State, that the popular
branch ofthe judiciary Of Iowa is compos-
ed Of as good material as could have been
selected to fill the bench. Even the wing
press Of Iowa, strongly as it persisted to
the last in opposing this popular feature in
our new constitution calling it daring
"innovation," which was attributed to the
progressive" democracy--is as silent as
the grave upon its pratical operation.

Going off Half Cocked.-The organ of
whiggery in Iowa, in its last weeks issue,
makes quite an amusing attempt to excite
public indignation against the Land OFF,
ciers in this city, for 'srefusing to recog
nize the existence of any legal Fund Com
missioners," and goes on to make great
political bug-bear out Of an alledged re.
fusal Of these officers to recognize con-
traits for school lands. If the senior edi-
tor Of the Standard would have taken the
pains to consult bis legal adviser, before
publishing his long string Of ranling
blarny, he would have .cyuna that The law
makes it the duty Of the Fund Commits.
sioners to report entries Of school lands TO
the Superintendent OF Public Instruction,
which officer is also directed by law to re-
port the same to the proper Land Officers,
and also to the Seer etary Of the Treasury
of the United States and consequently,
that the Land Officers at Iowa City have
no communication whatever with the Fund
Commissioners. We know nothing as 10
the two other land Offices in the State, but
we are informed by The officers of this,
that until yesterday, six days after the
charges alluded to above were made in the
Standard, not one solitary application to
locate school lands had been made. Thus
ends this wing electioneering bug-bear.

he has seen one single paragraph, sentence
or word, either directly or indirectly, in.
timating that the United States had not

(Standard.
No, not one single paragraph. Their
numbers have been legion, and in their pub
LEGATION BY the wing journals, they have
crowed upon each other SO fast that the
more moderate have been made to give
place for their lying fellows Of darker
and more traitrous nue.. But make your
self easy about these Mexican documents,
Mr.. Standard. Their publication will be
completed in about two weeks more, un.
less you send in positive word that you
are likely to have an appetite for fits"
before the expiration of that time.
IL The Standard calls s'the low and
vulgar insinuiation that Gen Brown is a
drunkard,' party slang; and says that tit
lowers nobody in the canvass but those
who use it," Itwould have been well for
the editor Of the Standard, before letting
off SO much spleen, to have considered
who, by nominating Gen. Brown for Con-
gress, provoked public exhibition of his
notorious character. We would advise
the editor, also, to bethink himself whether
even the federal party Of the first district
arc not "lowered in the canvass" and dis
graced by being marshalled by its leaders
