From the Iowa Democrat,
Gems. C0sS aud Butler.

1t is with pleasure that we nail to our
masthead the names of these distinguish
ed gentlemen, as candidates for the high
est offices on earth; and we heartily con-
graduate the Democracy ofthe Union, up
on the judicious selection Of the Baltimore
Convention, at this important crisis in the
affairs Of our government. The peculiar
condition Of our national affairs-the safety
of our free institutions the perpetui-
ty Of this Union, while we are at war with
a foreign nation, and while our land is
infested with boards of traitors to their
country-all imperiously demand, that we
should have tried and able statesman, a
firm and unwavering republican, as the
Chief Magistrate of this great Republic
during the next four years. Such man,
we are proud to say, is Gen. CAss. He
has, in numberless instances, proven to the
American people, his mastery abilities,
and firm and unwavering patriotism, in
defence Of his country's rights. As a
General of the Asmy, as Governor of
Michigan, as Indian Agent, as member
of the Cabinet at Washington, as Minister
to France, and as q. s. Senator, he has
exhibited the most consummate wisdom
and untiring devotion to the welfare and
best interests Of his country.
We feel confident that with such men
% Cass and Butler as our standard bearers.
that let their competitors be whom they
may, the Mexican Wings will receive as
overwhelming defeat, in the coming con-
test, as did their brother Mexicans in
arms, at Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo, and
Chapultepec.

pany.
THE undersigned has been duly appointed an
i Agent Of the Protection Insurance Compa.
ny Of Hartford, Conn.,, at Iowa City, Iowa, and
is authorized to insure dwelling houses, stores
and ware houses, mills, manufactures, barns
stables and the contents Of each, together with
every other similar species of property agains,
loss or damage by fire. The rates Of premium
offered are as low as those of any other similar
institution, and every man has an opportunity
for triAing sum, to protect himself against the
ravages Of this destructive element, which often
in q single hour sweeps away the earnings Of
many years.
There are two situations, in either of which
the value of Fire Insurance can be adequately
appreciated, viz: While standing upon the ruins
Of PERSONS own property, receiving from the
Insurance Office the full amount which he has
lost; or standing upon the same spot surrounded,
perhaps, BY destitute family, lamenting that
stupidity and folly which failed to provide
against such contingency.

LOOK TO IT.
Dated, Washington, Feb. Il, 1913.

Congress has been in session about
two months, and what has been done:
There has been incessant talk, but no
definite action. In the House, the an
nual message has not yet been referr-
ed, and in the Senate the ten regiment
bill has been the source Of protracted
debate. II is now admitted by those
in Wing secrets, that the design is to
stave off final vote on that bill until
the refractory Wings can be whipped
into the traces and made TO oppose it.
Predictions are confidently made from
that quarter, that the bill will be defea-
ted in the House-that no more sup.
plies of men will be granted.
Should the Wings take the respon.
sibiliiy Of thus acting, the direct APP
peal will then be 10 the people. All
remember the virulent assaults made
on the President only few months a.
60, for not sending a larger force to

The t,co Propositions Below are the two
propositions referred to in an article on the
first page, relative to the Ash article of the
treaty which Mr. TRIsr was authorised To
conclude with Mexico, defining the boundary
Of Texas, and the proposition sent to Wash
ineton BY him, and which was not sanctioned
bv the administration -
ARTICLE L. The boundary line between the
two republics shall commence in the Cult ct
Mexico, three leagues from land, opposite the
mouth Of the Rio Grande. from thence
up the middle of that river to the point where
it strikes the southern line of New Mexico;
thence westwardly along the southern bounda-
ry of New Mexico. to the sonth western corner
of the same; thence northward along the ives
tern line Of New Mexico, until it intersecie
the frst branch Of The rive! Gila or,f it should
not interscct any branch of that river, then to
the point on the said line nearest to such branch
and thence in direct line to the same, and
Down the middle Of said branch and of the sait
river, until i. emp;es into the Rio Coaorado
thence dosn the middle Of the Colorado and
the middle of Tie Gulf Of California, TO the
Pacific ocean.

GENERAL CASS.

On the 17th inst, in the course of
the debate on Mr.. MANGUM's resolu-
ton, calling for Gen. Scorr's instruc-
tons, &c., Gen. CAss said:
take it, Mr.. President, that in all
countries during the prosecution of a
war, the specific plan ofthe campaign
should not be made public. Surely
prudence requires that only the gener-
al Intentions of the Executive Govern
men, should be made known in such
circumstances, but where, in the name
of wonder, woul,! be the sense in tel
ling Mexico, that on the first of June
We mean to take Vera Cruz, and Pue-
bla on the Goth; that on such a day,
such and such troops or subsistence, or
munitions of war, would be dispatched
to certain poin,s 1t is not the spe-
cifir, identical plans of campaign made
between the Commander-in. chief and
the Government which should be laid
before the Legislature ofthe country and
the enemy. a thousand reasons will
occur to every body, showing that such
procedure if not impossible, would
be highly injurious. Irepeat, there is
no wish to refuse any Inform alton,
which may, with propriely :aod safety,
be communicated. My only object is
to delay action on this resolution for
short time, until the necessary informa.
ton can be supplied. All | contend
for is, that the broad principle assum-
ed by The honorable Senator from North
Carolina is neither safe in itself or JUS
tilted by the practice OF any Govern
ment, to wat: that at all times it is
right to call upon the Executive to dis
close its specific plans of carrying on a
war. The adoption ofsucL princi-
pie, it is obvious, would be attended
with the most injurious consequent
ces.
Now, with Gespect tothe progress Of
the war, it is said that Gen. Scott is
going on from town to town, and from

am very glad TO hear it. ! hope That
the commanding general will con-
tinue to 20 on in this way. If he. does
50, | have no doubt he will conquer
Mexican obstinacy, and thus conquer
peace. | have already expressed my
opinion with regard to the war in Mex
leo, and have nothing to say on the
subject now, excep, 10 tell the Senator
from North Carolina what have the
honor to say to the Senator from South
Carolina, that the adoption Of any res
olu,on, in this Senate with regard to
any danger, if danger there be, in the
progress of this war, would be but as
The idle wind. You might as well
stand by the cataract of Niagra, and
say to its waters, "Aow not" as to the
American people, "annex not terrific
ry," if they choose TO annex it. 1t is
the refusal of the Mexican people TO
do usjustice that prolongs this war.-
II is that which operates on the public
:uind, and leads the Sent tor from
North Carolina to apprehend a stale OF
things which he fears, but which for
myself | do not anticipate. Let me
say, Mr.. President, that it takes a great
deaf to kill this country. We have
had an alarming crisis almost every
year as long as can recollect. came
on the public stage as spectator be-
fore Mr.. Jefferson was elected. That
was crisis. Then came the embar-
go crisis, the crisis of the non-inter-
course, of the war, OF the bank, of the
tariff, of the removal Of the deposits,
and Scorce Of others. But we have
outived them all, and advanced in all
the elements of power and prosperity
with rapidi'y heretofore unknown IN
! the history of nations. If we should
swallow Mexico tomorrow, ! DO not
believe il would kill us. The Sena-
tor from North Carolina and myself
may not live to see it, but all by no
means satisfied that the day will not
come in which the whole of the vast
country around US will form one of the
most magnificent empires that the
world has yet seen-glorious in its
prosperity, and still more glorious in
the Establishment and perpetaation of
the principles of free government and
blessings which they bring with
them. ....

columns, and pays handsome tribute tc lis
''unsullied private charactcs," and speaks OF
him 'as statesman most likely TO maintsin in
the administration of our National affairs, tho
Democratic policy of Jefferson and Madison"
In view Of his high no1al wsh and
his distinguished f'seryices in the national
councils" the Virginian calls upon 'ihs people
to concentrate their strength in support Of che,
who. forgetfu! Of self and State prejudice, was
the first to take his stand by the compromises.
Of the Constitution, and to throw the weight
of his great name into the Southern bc,ance.-
To appreciate this act, it must be borne in
mind, that at the era of the Missouri cornpro-
misc, Q820 aboiitionism was in its cradle
that no,c it has the growth Of twenty seven
years, is. formidable and dangerous to be en-
oeuntered.--1'he compromise of 1920, was the
offspring Of a statesman Mailing from a SIace
STATE, the compromise of l847 is the work Of
statesman hailing from free State-the one
moving in unison with the sentiments of his
pcople-the other, fearlessly encountering long
established prejudices at home, and the fanati-
cism of thousands at the North" e-sf.
From the tone Of the Democratic papers
throughout the State, and public sentiment es
developed on public occasions, we think tie
Democracy Of this State are prepared to con-
centrate their undivided strength upon Mr.
BUCHANAN, should he be the nominee of the
