PROSPECTUS
OF THE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire new dress,
will in future conduct it Jointly, Editors and Pro-
prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER \ PAUL.
The REPORTER will, as heretofore be r!ainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trineS and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though legitmately resulting from never changing.
immutable prinCiples-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac
ter having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits and burthens Of government
We can conceive no means more likely 10 haSteh
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened just
and LIBERAL Free Trade, Hard-mUney and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratc party. As long our party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures sim
liar in their character and tendency, so long do we
expect to stand by it, and no longer Furthermore,
We consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
divdual members of our party-brought out IN con-
formity to its established CuStomS for stations OF
honor profit--onlyso long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to our party. especially at the
present crisis, of straightforward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government, must, we
are persuaded be too well understood and appreci
ated to require any thing more than bare allusion
TO it on this occasion. We are now on he of a
State and Presidential election in both Of which
the Democracy of Iowa will besides deciding. upon
various other subjects Of vast importance to us
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has vigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton for sustaining the honor CT The country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by inglor-
ous illy disguised and raitrous parzans at home.
We believe that Shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will eyncc their appreC of the Consid
erations here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above will be the leading objects for
which we shall labor the REPORTER will devote it
SELF with what of energy its conductors can bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
provement in our young and fourisins Iowa. as, in
their opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens large
News and Observation-Disclosures and Foreign
Miscellany-the instructive and the amusing-will
receive their due share of space and attention keep
ing in view the fact, that while ssvariety is the spice
of lfe it serves, in eminent degree, to give life
and zest to popular journal.

CRY OF Mexico, April 81, '4s.

Gen. Butler, day or two since, was
requested by the Mexican Government to
allow some Mexican troops to enter this
city to take possession Of quantity of
army clothing left in one of the converts
when the Mexican army evacuated the
city. Gen. Butler, instead ofgrantlng the
request, seized the clothing. 1t would
not now be surprising if the Mexican
Government were to ask the arms taken
IN the different actions to be returned. 1t
would be in keeping with the modest re-
quest in relation to the clothing. DIS.

QuERErARo, April %, l949.


The Secretary of the Treasury ex-
presses himself as follows, in relations to
the forced loan of $3.50, 900 to 5000, 900,
which will be employed exclusively by
the Government to pay necessary expen-
ses in assembling the General Congress,
and for its support in this city for two
months:
You will perceive according to the last
advices published in the papers of the cap
ital, how short time there remains for
us to ratify the treaty Of peace, pending
between our Republic and the U. S. OF
America. In order that that treaty should
be exchanged at Washington on the I'd Of
June, it is indispensable that it should be
ratified at the latest, on the 18th Of Nav
next, and | doubt if il can be done if Con-
gress does not get together immediately.
A multitude OF unfortunate circumstances
have prevented, until now, reunion Of
Congress, and the principal one has been
the want Of money to give to the Senators
and Deputies for their necessary wants in
this capital. Government has made the
greatest efforts to realise this sum but
without success, and having expended all
its resources, his Excellency, the Presi-
dent, has, in order to facilitate the meet
ing Of Congress, resolved that all the CAPT
talists and persons Of easy circumstances
in this city, shall, to assist the Govern
ment, under the title Of loan, advance a
sufficient amount Of money to pay for two
months the per diemof the Senators and
Deputies of the General Congress. Once
quorum has been assembled, Congress
will dictate the necessary laws to create
such funds and resources as the Govern
ment may want to continue its existence.
He concludes thus:
His Excellency the President thinks
that the salvation of the Republic impera.
lively demands the prompt meeting of Con.
gress, and in order not to incur the terri
bic responsibility of bsing the nationality
Of the country, the Executive will dictate
extraordinary measures, which he never
would have adopted if circumstances were
not SO very difficult and dangerous

in one of his sermons, preached on Friday

Congress that is about to meet, were pres
ent, said: "Gentlemen-The only way
to save the Republic, and--in pardoning
the injuries you have received-to prove
yourselves Christians, is to make peace. y
