Iowa CONGRESSIONAL LEcr1oS.-The
democratic majorities on Congressmen,in-
stead of from 200 to 300, as stated last
week, will be in the first district near COO,
and not much short Of 400 in the second.
So much for whig Mormomsm; so much
for " Long Jim's' rail road mission.

MARION, Polk, DALLAS, AND JAS
pER.-1t is now certain that our friends
have carried the democratic Senator and
at least one Representative in this district
We have some apprehensions, however,
that the other Representative l.. w. BAp-
brr, may possibly be defeated, as he had
one of these beautiful on-descripts call
ed an ''independent Democrat to contend
with, i'll addition to the regular wing nom
inee. However, we still have faith that
our friend Rabbit has proved himself a
strong enough horse to beat both the other
fillys.

The HOuse.Hurner.' SOliIauy.

The late "Free Soil" movement and the
nomination of old Johns young son upon
the same ticket with young Johns old Pa
pa, forcibly suggests the following appro-
pirate soiloquy to those northern wing
doushfaces who SO stoltly protested against
being attached, by the butchers of the
philadelphia Slaughter-ho,lse,'' to the
triumphal car OF the slave-holdinc hero of
"James k. Folks" ''God-abhorred war.,'
10 bolt or not to bot, that is the questions:
whether it is nobler in the mind, to suffer
The sings and arrows of outrageous locos
Or to take arms against the Taylor bioodhounds,
And by opposing, end the Union and orr nat;on,s
curse?
Nothing short of the equietus Of "a bare
bodkln," we fear, can drown the perplcx-
lty Of these anti-Taylorites, or preven,
them from engaging in this bold move,
apparently so well calculated to produce
the last named 'sconsummation deyoutly to
be wished for in the above solloquy.

THE Iowa REFUpL1cAN.-This is the
name Of very neat wing paper just star
ted in this city, published by Messrs.
BALLARD and MoK1ARr, and edited by
Gen. EAsrIN MoRRIs, formerly of the
Standard. 1t goes the whole figure for
old radical wing doctrines, even to a Uni
ted States Bank, but says that the main
issue before the people is the Veto. That
cock wont fight, General. The people
have been humbugged in this way once ;
it will take smarter men than the wings
TO do it second time. The constitution
fixes the veto power; and the people have
" fxed' the United States Bank.

Wing Text, :and Democratic com
Input!

| HE SECRETARY oE STATE AND THE Lo-
coroco PARTy.-Some of the Locotoccs
wish 10 shirk the responsibility of the Off
cial action Of Elisha Cutler Secretary of
State. They claim that Cutters conduct
is not approved by the party. We know
it is not approved by the people; but we
claim that it has been as aulhritativeIv
and solmnly approved by the party as any
other measure or principle whatever.
AT the late Locotoco state Convention
the committee appointed to draft resolu-
tons reported amongst others the follow
ing which was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That Elisha Cutler ir., who
declines denomination to the office of
Secretary Of State, an Office which he has
filled most worthy and salts factorily re-
tires with the thanks, confidence and
kind wishes OF this convention.
That we take to be pretty full approx
al. The Democratic party have shoulder
ed Elisha Guitar officially, they have APP
proved has course; and their resolution
encourages and requires in effect, his
loco'oco successor to follow in his foot
steps.-Desmoins Valley Wing.
. The action of the convention shows that
the 'oflicial action of the Secretary was
approved by the party, and the action of
the people at the late election shows that it
is approved by them. The democratic
party encourage and require his locofoco
successor to follow in his footsteps, and in
the very county in which the above arti-
Gle was intended TO operate, his loccfoco
successor was entirely ahead of the bal
ance Of the democratic ticket, having some
forty or fifty votes more than either of the
other State officers, and throughout the
State it is the same. Mr.. Bonney will be
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
ahead; surely the people of the State re-
quire Mr.. Cutters successor to e toHou in
his ,footsteps.' Mr.. Cutler was elected,
less than two years since, by majority
of Z or 800 votes, and his successor, who
according to the wing, is bound to follow
in his footsteps, has in the same counties
about 400 minority; pretty fair demo-
cratic comment to the wing text.

ASsi, 1910.
Editors Of the Reporter:
Gsnt'emen-Having abserved in the last
number OF your paper an article, in which
the defeat of the democratic nominee for
Senator in this district, is attributedto tho
treachery OF some individual whom vou
allude to, we deem it proper to state that
in our opinion, the failure of our Senate
rial and Representative ticket, may be
traced to other causes than the factions
opposition Of any particular member Of
our party.
Foremost in these causes stands the IN
testlnal divisions among the democracy
themselves. Divisions and iealousies Of
long standing, which we shall not attem,t
10 account for or explain, but which
charges and determinations are in nowise
calculated to alay.
The falling Of in the vote Of the demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, as YOU are
perhaps aware of, was occasioned bv a
supposed sectional interest, which caused
intense excitement and was new ele-
men thrown into the contest.
We are, gentlemen, respectfully Yours,
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1848-12-16
