Democrats Congressional NOmi-
MNvlOnS.

First District. We learn verbally from
Fairfield, that the convention which as
sembled at that place on the 18th inst, re
nominated the Hon. VIZ. THOMPSON, a
the democratic candidate for Congress
We also learn that great unanimity, cor
diality Of feeling, and enthusiasm prevail
ed at the convention; that another distin
guished individual whose name it was un
derstood would be brought prominently
before that body declined being a candidate
for nomination, and that Mr.. Thompson
was unanimously nominated. We arr
lgrati6ed to hear Of this nomination; bu
still more so at the spirit in which it was
made. Led by such firm and consisten
standard bearer, and with concert and uni
Ity Of action, and their glorious principles
boldly inscribed upon their banner, TIKI
democracy of the First cannot fail Of sue
cess.
| Second District. The convention which
met at Davenport on the 10Th inst, nomi.
mated the Hon. SHErHERD LETTER fol
reelection in the Second District. The
representation was quite large and the
proceedings Of the convention were char.
acterized by order and good feeling. L
is worthy Of remark, that although the
names Of several other gentlemen were
placed before the convention for nomina.
ton by their personal friends, still even
in these instances, and among those no'
voting for Mr.. Letter on the first ballot
we believe there was but few delegates
who did not prefer him as their next OF
second choice. This unanimity Of senti-
ment in favor Of Mr.. L. is no less Aatter
ing to him, than it is gratifying and en-
couraging to the party whose nominee he
is. Mr.. Letters services have not been
circumscribed by narrow partizan feelings.
Through his invaluable efforts in behalf
Of the two rail roads, of like interest to the
people Of his district at large, he has en-
deared himself to them in manner the
fruits Of which will be manifested BY their
giving him even larger majority than
that by which he was hefore electad He
is gentleman Of sterling ability and high
moral tone Of character, and one of the
brightest ornaments Of our party in the
State-one Of whom the democracy may
well be proud. -

A Voice from the Rank and File,

The following extract from letter
received in this city, few days since,
from EDw1S R. Cutler, now in the
army in Mexico, brother of the pres
ent Secretary of this State, will show the
opinion entertained BY the ':.fghting rank
and file" relative to the Mexican enemy
and their American allies. He says:
"You need not fix your affairs to come
to Mexico, if you wait until we are de-
feated. There is no such word here
We have got the yellow rascals so under
COW now, that l believe we could whip
them twenty to one. If our friends at
home could give the tories al home, as
good thrashing as We give the greasers
here: the war would soon be at an end.
But instead Of that, they appear to have
the advantage.
/ should not wonder if in aftertimes,
the names Of Clay, Webster, Corwin, and
others, should be cannonized, so much do
the Mexicans reverence them. We, the
rank and file, are of the opinion
that, had it not been for them and their
adherents, the war would have been
brought to close long since. We hung
fifty traitors in sight Of the city of Mexi-
co; if fifty more were hung in sight of
Washington, it would be better for the
country

The final vote on the treaty was taken

the interesting biography Of Gen. Butler
which we publish in the present number.

would request Of our subscribers careful

ing numbers containing Gen. Cass' bio
graphy for future reference. So many
folsehoods have already been told and SC
many more will doubtless be nanufnctur-

Why they Do'ns Respond.

The Hawkeye accounts for the absence
Of enthusiasm upon the arrival Of the news
of Taylor's nomination in Burlington, up-
on the ground that it was on the Sabbath.
We very much fear that, as far as enthu-
siasm is concerned, 1t vilI be Sunday allihl
lime with the wings.
The Keokuk Register makes bette,
display upon paper than his neighbor al
Burlington. The wings, according to tina,
paper, had tremendously enthusiastic ra-
LITIGATION meeting there. And this was no
sham, neither; for we are assured by a
good wing from Keokuk, that there was a
huge turn out Of nearly forty! Try it
again, boys; perhaps they can be whipped
IN.
The wings of Iowa City were more sem
sible than their neighbors, they did not
even try to get up ratification meeting.

It is no less singular than it is revolt
/ ing to every true hearted American, toob
serve the similarity and almost perfec
community Of feeling which is manifesto
by SO large and respectable portion Q
our citizens as that composing the WIFI
party, with their uniformly sympathizin,
British allies, upon almost any nationa
question touching the interests Of Joh1
Bull and Brother Jonathan. The par
which was taken by Gen. CAss Will
Minister to France, resulting in the over
throw Of the iniquitous quintuple treaty
has rendered him an object Of dread ant
hatred not only on the part Of the British
government, but also Of all subjects of tina
power who are unnaturalized residents o
the United States.
The federa!ists Of this country hav'
found a fresh confederate in their hositil
|ity to Gen. Cass in the New York .albio,
the only openly aroued British paper
in this country edited by British sub
ject and one who speaks "by authority
on this side Of the Atlantic for British in
terests. Upon announcing the nomina.
ton of Gen. Cass, the Albion INDUCES II
the following comments. Let every true
American mark them well.
''Had any other candidate been nomina.
ted, We should have contented ourselves
with announcing the fact, but Gen. Cass
has on repeated occasions manifested sc
HOSTILE A FEELING TO GREAT
BRITAIN, that ne must add our erpres.
sion OF REGRET at seeing him in this
prominent position before the country
We cannot forget his undisguised repeated
efforts, when Minister at the Court Of
France, to plunge Great Britain and
France into war on the vexed question
OF the right Of search. The steps he then
took might have been correct sub rosa, ac-
cording to the lax code Of diplomatic NOR
atty; but urged as his arguments were
through the medium of public letters, they
were dangerous to the peace Of Europe
and OFFENSIVE TO GREAT BRIT
AIN, with whom the country he repre-
sented was at peace.
"The debates on the Oregon question
again furnished Gen. tass with oppor-
tunities for venting his ill-will To-
WARDS US, and his disposition to bring
war. And still the same animosity rankles
in his mind, If we may judge by the late
debates Of the U. S. Senate on the pro-
posed relief to Yucatan.''
We wish the allies joy of this editorial
yoke fellow: AS they are about to be cut
off by peace from sympathizing with their
Mexican allies, they will be at liberty to
give full vent to their Indignation at the
wrongs and outrages, past, present,
or prospective, which our government
may see fit to inAict upon England, and to
receive in return her congenial sympathy
and assistance in the coming campaign
Again we wish them joy Of their jealous
help mate.
