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 mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
Of State and National policy. These measures
though legtimatcly resulting from 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 to hasten
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 party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar In their character and tendency, long do we
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore
we consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
dividual members of our partgbrought out in con-
formity to its established customs, for stations Of
honor or prottonly long they truly ref. ct its
principles and show a disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to party especially at the
present crisis, of straightforward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of lis
principles at the seat of State government must, we
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci-
ated, to require any thing than bare alluson
TO 1t on this occasion. We are now on he eve OF
State and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy of Iowa win, besides deciding upon
various other subjects Of vast Importance to us as
people, be called upon TO stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has so yigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton, for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by inglori
GUS, ly-dIsgused and traitlous partizans at home
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will evnce their appreciation of the consid-
erations here presented, BY their efficient aid and
support.
While the above win be the leading objects for
which we shall labor, the REPORTER viii devote it
self, with what of energy its conductors bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
provemcnt in our young and ourishing 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 amusine-will
receive their due share space and attention keep
ing in view the fact, that while varety is the spice
of lie, it serves in eminent degree to give life
and zest to popular journal.

A Tough story.

In small town Down East there lived
a butcher who was jack at all trades,
and more particularly noted for his exper-
iments in Animal Magnetism. A half
witted fellow, who lived entirely upon the
charity Of the town, imagining one day that
he was quite i'll, made application for re-
lief from pain in his stomach. A thought
flashed upon the mind Of the butcher that
he was a fit subject for experiment, and
accordingly he mesmerised him into pro-
found sleep.
He then made an incision into his stom-
ach, took out the contents to wash them,
after which he laid them down and went
into the house to get needle and thread
to sew up the incision. But on returning,
to his establishment, he found large hog
just leaving the place, having eaten them.
In this dilemma, he seized sheep and re-
moved the contents of its stomach to that
Of the man; then closing up the orifice, he
awaked the slumbering subject, who was
forthwith discharged, cured"
Meeting the patient some days thereaf-
ter, the butcher had some curiosity as to
the success of the operation, and asked
him how he got along. "Oh, first rate, y
said he, 'only l have got such an internal
hankering after grassr'

Pay the Printer! Pay the printer!

YUNHOSE knowing themselves indebted to the 10
sca Capital Reporter, for subscription or adver-
amounts sevcarlly due from them are highly neces-
sary in order to enable the undersigned to embark
in some new business for livelihood. They are
therefore earnestly requested to be prepared Tor the
coming of Mr.. GEO. w. GALLOWAY, our travelling
agent and to settle with him in the true spirit Of
equity and amity.
The subscribers to the Reporter are so widely
scattered throughout tbs State, that it will take
long time for Mr.. Galloway to make the tour to all
of them, but he will call on each in turn as soon as
possible curing the ensuing season. In the mean
time, payment may be made, by remissions by mail
otherwise, to in person at this this city, or in
case Of my absence, to either Of successors, GAR
RET ID. PALMER or GEO. PAUL, who are also auth
orized to receipt for dues in my name.
Those who are not prepared at the time to pay
the full amounts OF their dues, will be expected to
settle by note; though the advance price, $500 a
year in hand, will be much more acceptable than
notes of hand at the highest rate for deferred pay
ments, on persons in different and remote parts OF
the State. AS misunderstanding may arise in some
cases, which would be readily reconciled could
tend to the matter in person, my agent has Instruc-
tons to deal the most liberal and amicabe terms
with all who are sincerely DESTROYS Of settling
up.
Being determined that no just cause of COM
plant shall exist on my part, and hoping to meet
with reciprocal feeling and disposition in those
indebted to me, the same liberal principle by which
my dealings with subscribers has thus far been reg
ulated will be observed in the final settlement OF
accounts. They need hardly be reminded OF the
importance of the small items due from each, which
though separately insignificant, go to make up We
ry considerable sum in the aggregate, constituting
large portion of the retired EDITORS substance

they cannot deny the requisite faith on our part the
