~ Let the voters Of Iowa remember
at the polls that the democratic members
of the General Assembly proposed to re-
sign their seats, if their opponents would
consen: to do the same, and thus refer the
conduct Of the two parties, together with
the quest ons at issue between them, back
to the people for their verdict at the bal
lot box: And let it also be remembered,
that the federal members refused to resign,
thus evincing their characteristic contempt
for the will Of the people, and preventing
the election ola new Legislature, which
would have resulted in the election of U.
S. Senators next winter. This fact shows
who is to blame for Iowa being destitute Of
a representation in the Senate Of the Uni.
ted States.

ZIG SCcGs,si District.

Our friends in this Congressional dis
'rict should be strictly On their guard
against the plots ottheir opponents. While
the wings give up the election in the first
district, they are confident Of carrying
this ore. How they calculate to effect
this, wien we have clear democratic
majority of five hundred, we cannot ina
CINE, unless it be by pipe laying-import-
ing wings from Tie other district, which
they give up as lost.
They boast that they will carry even
Cedar and Linn; but il the invincible de-
mocracy Of those counties are on their
guard, we have no fears for the result there.
Linn and Cedar, we feel assured, will
maintain their high democratic standing,
in spite Of all the Vaccinations of federal
coon-dom. We think it is not extravasant
to count on 100 democratic majority from
Linn and 90 from Cedar.
This district is more decidedly demo-
cratic than The other, and has always been
flrmer and more uniform. Let il no, be
said tllat the Northern democracy have
been conquered for The lack of vigilance
and the necessary energy TO counteract
the Vaccinations Of the enemy.

That Vote OF Censrprc.

The federal press Of this State are maxi
ing great noise about resolution ofcen-
sure upon Gen. Taylor, for which they
charge that the Hon. Sheperd Letter vot-
ed, as member Of Congress. Il is only
necessary to say that no such resolution
was ever proposed.
A resolution of thanks TO Gen. Taylor
was offered in the House Of Representa-
tives, voting him medal, &c., and an
amendment was offered providing that no.
thing therein contained should be constru-
ed into an approval Of the terms Of capit-
ulation at Monterey. For this Mr.. Left
Ter voted, and this is what they call vot-
ing to censure Gen. Taylor. That able
commander is not deserving of censure
from Congress for any thing he has done
III Mexico, nor was he ever censured by
any vote given in that body, except those
proposed denouncing the war in which he
is engaged, as an unholy and unjust war
against humanity and against God."
The vote of thanks was proposed just
subsequently to the battle of Monterey,
and there were different rumors as to the
condition Of affairs under which the capt.
ulation was made. at was thought by very
many, and among the rest, it was said,
some Of Gen. Taylor's ablest officers, to be
very weak piece of policy, after conquer
ing the enemy by such hard fought bat.
tie, to permit several thousand of the enc
| my to march out with the honors of war
| and with their arms, when they were
completely in the power of our army
Under this impression, i, was perfectly
right for Congress to refrain from approx
ing that capitul.tion, and to reserve their
judgement until the true STATE Of the case
should be ascertained.
Had Gen. Taylor committed a culpable
error, it does not follow, because he is one
of the ablest Generals that our country
can boast of, that Congress must approve
that blunder. The federalists 60 upon the
presumption that the Congress and the
Government Of the United States must
stand in awe ola military chielta;n in Gem
nand of cur armies, and for fear of his mil
itary power, endorse every thing which
he does, right OF wrong,
This charge comes with very i'll grace
from party which sisnalized our army in
.NeXico as band of free booters, robbers
and cut Threats, and Gen. Taylor, necessa-
rily, as the cilieiiree booter Of the yang.
They pay very poor compliment to the
intelligence o. the people by showing that
they think them susceptible of being hum
plugged by such ridiculous sophislry.

Two nobler and trler democrats or NOR
gallant champions Of their country s cause
never were presented for the suffrages Of
any pebble. We may need their votes in
the next Congress to vote supplies for q
prosecution Of the war to q speedy issue,
and to prevent the repeal of our excellent
Tariff. Nor is the election Of our candi-
dates for the Board Of Public Works,
Sample, Cookery and Bratlain, Of less i'm
portance. II our exertions are such as
are due 10 our principles, the boas,iul
spirit Of federal arrogance, which is an
ticipating a triumph over us, will receive
deserved rebuke in the election of our
whole ticket by from ten to fifteen hun.

Improvement of the Rapids.

Among all the projects for the accom-
plishment Of this great object, there is
none SO likely to be attended with sue
cess as that proposed by Mr.. Letter. His
plan is to induce Congress to set apart
strip of land thirty or forty miles wide on
each side of the Mississippi, from the
mouth of the Desmoines TO some point
above the upper Rapids, perhaps to the
mouth OF the ST. Peters, and appropriate
certain percentage on the sales Of the same
to removing the distractions on the two
chains Of Rapids.
II those who have professed such an in
teresi in the removal Of those distractions,
instead ofdalying with Chicago and Mem
phis conventions, which are but specious
humbugs got up by spectators who own
| town sites at the mouths of creeks along
the lakes, where they wish to induce Con-
gress to construct harbors for them, would
unite in an effort Of this kind, the object
might be accomplished within reasonable
| time.
But, SO long as the Improvement Of the
Mississippi is made jackai to the inter
ests OF town speculators-so long as any
measure for this object, the constitutional
ity of which is admitted by everybody, is
permitted to be connected with and weigh
ed down by Unconstitutional appropriations
for thousand and one illegi,imate objects
Of improvements long will the people
Of Iowa be doomed TO be disappointed in
having The present cause for high rates
| upon the transportation of their produce
and merchandise removed.
But let them go ahead building their
castles in the air with the view OF manu-
featuring political capital, Mr.. LETTER,
knowing that his project is feasible, will
never abandon it until The end is attained.
AS was TO be expected, the wing press
| ofthis State, with one accord, oppose this
plan; and why? Merely because proposed
by democrat, and they fear that the rank
and file OF their party, becoming disguised
with their humbugs, will refuse longer TO
follow their lead, and will vote for man
who is likely to accomplish something for
| their interest.
This is the reason why they oppose Mr..
Letiler's plan, and il shows very plainly
that all their talk about the Improvement
of the Rapids is more for the purpose Of
manufacturing political capital, than for
any interest which they feel in the public
welfare. Admitting, for arguments sake,
that it is not feasible; why, even in that
case, oppose ii? No harm can result from
the effort, if it should hot succeed. 1t will
not interfere in the least with any other
plan.
All who are directly interested in the
Improvement Of the Rapids, will see 1ha.
1t is for their interest to vote for Mr.. Left.
Ter for Representative in Congress. The
wing press have virtually pledged Alr.
Mcknight in opposition to this PROPOSE
ton; and, whatever project he may favor,
it is evident that he cannot accomplish
much any way.

Immediately after the exposure Of Clay
.Nud'S intended visit to Iowa with funds
TO operate upon our election, Fitz Warren
came out with a card in the wing papers,
| declaring that no such design was enter
tanned. We then predicted that Mud
would abandon his visit and the money be
sent to some person here.
Well, that parsonage, having started on
his journey, was nat by letter from Fig
Warren, or some one else in Iowa, and
stops square in his tracks, and writes a
card. (dated, we believe, at Baltimore, J
and sends it to the Hawkeye for publica-
ton, swearing BY alIthat's great and good
that he never intended to come to Iowa
this summer. He says he only intended
to come as lar as St. Louis-only twenty
four hours ride from Burlington, by the
way-but has nov concluded, for some
reason, that he will not even come that
far. He is in beautiful mist concerning
our Washington correspondent who dis.
covered and exposed his plans.
What next do we see? Why Fitz War
rem becomes unusually active, all at once.
FIRST he makes a trip 10 St, Louis-nobo-
dy knowing his business remains but
few hours and returns. What was this
for? Why, the cashing of draft in Bur
ling'on might have slet the cat out of the
bag Immediately on his return he com
mences persmbulating the State, with a
large roll OF ner band bills, which he was
seen TO have at Iowa City.
The agency is transferred. Fitzboodle is
doing Clay Mud's work; and a.atday
piece ofwork it is.

TO THE DEMOCRACY IOWA

y
We desire on the present occasion 10
address to our democratic friends through
out the State, a few words with the same
freedom and informally as if talking TO
them individually, face to face.
Often have we communed upon the vas:
importance Of vigilance in your elections,
impressing upon you the truth of,he max
i'm that "eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" Time and again have we, as
now, sat down to our desk and taken up
our pen, 10 urge upon you the imperative
necessity, you would see your cherish
ed principles Of equal rights and constitu-
tional liberty respected and practically
carried out in our governmental policy, Of
being active, energetic and prompt TO
counteract the Vaccinations Of the willy
votaries Of federalism--to meet at the bal
lot box, that palladium of American free
dom, and there resist the Entertainments
Of the direst foes Of our republican insfi
tulions.
Aware Of the monotony Of this subject,
in consequence Of our oft recurring cleo
tions and the pertinacity and ruthlessness
Of the unprincipled opponents with whom
we have 10 contend, we venture again 10
address you with the same view, conf
dent that, W. palateable us it is for ffeemen
10 be constantly contendins against STRAIT
agem for the preservation Of boon which
is theirs by birshright, the deep interest
which we feel in the approaching contest
between democracy and federalism Cor the
ascendancy. will meet with ready re-
Spouse in the bosom Of every true demo-
crat throughout the State. In taking look
al the political horoscope, the frs, thing
which arrests the attention Of the observer,
is slight but murky cloud which APP
pears to overhang the prospects Of the de-
mocracy, as If uncertain whether to quit
the horizon or not, to which the worship
pers st the shrine Of federalism are point
ing in ecstacy az their beacon Of hope
That cloud consists of exhalations from the
stagnant pools Of faction. Though it has
exerted most baneful influence in times
past, its force is nearly spent, and, if
proper circnmspeclion be used in watch
irg and guarding against it, no further
harm need be apprehended from it.
1t is this which, with thoroughly de-
mocralic population, has given our young
State, at her first election, partially into
the hands Of those who WELD her politi-
cal power, not to promote the happiness
and advance the prosperity Of her citizens,
but to perfect their own schemes of self
aggrandizsment, 10 feed and fatten their
horde Of hungry cormorant Office seekers,
to circumscribe the rights Of the many and
render them tributary to the favored few,
and TO rivet the shackles of seryile bond
age upon the mass Of the people whom
they regard as beasts Of burden made for
the convenience OF those who aim $50 live
by their wits. It is this which gives those
political triiers fancied glimpse of hope
that they will be able 10 subdue the de
mocracy and take peaceable possession Of
the citadel-this which encourages them
10 fight with such desperation, knowing,
at the same time, lha, majority of the
peoplesare opposed 70 them. Il is this,
