WEDNESDAY,, MAY 10, 1S47.
SOn-eleCtion Of T.. =. Senator's
Proposed Kesignatiosss.-ase Refusal
OF the u saig Members 10 Resign.
Our readers need not be reminded of
the proposition made by our Democratic
Senators and Representatives, for general
resignation of the memberss both Wings
and Democrats, in order to give an oppor-
tuniiy for a full and fair expression Of the
popular will, by new election, upon the
deplorable condition of political affairs in
our legislative department and upon the
conduct of the respective parties, whereby
the State of Iowa has been deprived OF a
voice, and a majority of her people depriv-
ed Of a just representation, in the Senate Of
the United States Nor need we remind
the public that said proposition was cavs-
lierly, and in utter contempt Of the pcps-
lar will rejea,ed by the Wing members Of
both branches. The moment they ascer
tanned that their corrupt appliances ard
fraudulent practices had resulted III placing
the political power of the state in tisir
hands, they determined to become the su
preme masters of me people who had .ho-
sen them as servants. Finding themselves
accidentally invested with the power to
thwart the popular will. they not otly
ayailed themselves to the full extent of that
power. bu. also refused to submit Their
conduct to the verde, Of the people who's,
sacred rights they had trifed with and
whose constitution, time and again, they
had contumaciously trampled under foot.
They at once DOTTED their mask OF pre-
tended purity and patriotism, and appeared
in their true characters of politica! knaves,
empyrics, usurpers, unprincipled dema-
gogues and official outlaws, making use OF
the Legislative authority for he sole adj
vancement of their ambitious partizan
