IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER
PROSpECTTT

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ca establishment and pnt it in entire new dress
VIII IN future conduct it jointly, Editors and Pro-
prletsrs. under the firm of PALMER & PAUL.
The REPORTER will, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trlnes and the advocacy of corresponding measures
OF State and National policy. These measures
though egitimately resulting from changing,
lmmutabe principles-we believe should stn 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 governments
we can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened lust
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-money and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratic party. AS long our party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures sim.
Mar 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
dlvluual members of our party-brought out in con-
formity to its established customs, for stations of
honor or prof-ony so long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to party, especially at the
present crisis of ight-forward, fearless and
ef1cient 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 allusOn
to 1t on this occasion. We are now on he eve of
state and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy Iowa will, 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 vigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton, for sustaining the honor of the country against
Its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by iglor-
Gus, illy-dlsguised and traitrous parzans 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 consd-
eratons 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 bring to
The task, to the advocacy Of such measures of i'm
in our young and hourishing Iowa, as, in
heir opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
The happiness and prosperity of her citizens large
News and observation-disclosures site and Foreign
instructive and the amusing-will
receive their due share of space and attention keep

Lat L asc;aSOlla.

Two poor discharged sick soldiers came
up to the hotel, who had by sickness been
entirely bereft of means, and wished to
reach New Orleans where they had friends
and some money, and they, in their dis
tress, applied with tears in their eyes
to their noble, lion-hearted Rough and
Ready chief, who had perhaps led them
in health TO battle, victory and glory on
the plains in Mexico-they wanted only
two dollars to take them to New Orleans
who as readily eyaded them by saying
he must call on the Quarter Master. or
speak to the Quarter Master. One of the
soldiers replied, the boat is in view-we
want to leave in her, and then appealing
again to their General, saying, we will
die here, we will die here, we want to get
away, there was no time to lose, the
the General then Roughly turned his back
upon them and walked away upon the
gallery to group Of ladies and commenced
conversation with them. As their old
General turned from them one of the sold
iers says to his comrade, did not think
Gen. Taylor was such a man. At this
stage Of the affair plain countryman OBJ
serving it with all amazement, and being
moved by the emaciated deathly appear
ance of the sick soldiers who were mere
skeletons from the Mexican diarrhea,
readily gave them two dollars, all they
wanted they said.
If the foregoing facts are doubted or de-
MED the proof will be forthcoming. IN.

Gold Mines In California.

An immense bed Of gold, one hundred
miles in extent, has been discovered in
California, on American Fork and Feather
rivers, tributaries the Sacramento, neal
Monterey. MIR. Cotton, the alcalde Of
Monterey, states that the gold is found in
the sands in grains resembling squirrel
shot, fattened out. Some pieces weigh a
grain each. 1t is got by washing out the sand
in any vessel, from tea saucer to warm
ing pan. A single person can gather an
ounce or twoa day, and some even hum
dred dollars worth. Two thousand whites
and as many Indians are on the ground.
All the American settlements are desert
ed, and farming nearly suspended. The
women only remain in the settlements. -
Sailors and captains desert the ships togo
to the gold regions. and laborers refuse
ten dollars day to work On the farms
Mr.. Cotton says:
"One man who resides next door to me,
gathered five hundred dollars worth in
six days. He has one lump which weighs
over an ounce. A trough, such as YOU
feed pigs in, will bring in the gold region
fifty dollars. Put piece Of sheet iron,
punched with holes, on it ,and it will bring a
hundred. My friend J. R. paid sixteen
dollars for little basket, and his COM
panion gave twenty for a chamber pot
all to wash out the gold it,
More than twenty thousand dollars
worth had been collected. Gov. Mason
and his aid had gone to the district, which
is five days journey from Monterey. "The
natives have gone for gold, the sailors have
run from the ships, and the soldiers from
their camps, for the same purpose. The
last vessel that left the coast was obliged
to ship an entire new crew and pay each
$50 month. No one can be hired to dig
gold short of sixteen or twenty dollars a
day; he prefers working on his own hook;
he may make less than that, but he has a
chance Of making much more. There
flour is worth $50 per barrel, Is lbs. of
Boston crackers, in tin boxes, $40 box;
cotton shirt, $40; boards, $500 per 1000

THE success of the Illustrated Botany is n,

Gen. Cass and ,he Neu,ra, Press.

The following article from New York
Alias is so just in all its sentiments, and
so truthful withal, that we take pleasure
in transferring it to our columns. The
.4ttos is a neutral paper, and therefore free
from all partisan bias:
Gen. Lewis Cass is a prominent candi-
date for the Presidency. He was put III
nomination as such, by convention held
in the city Of Baltimore, and has consented
to run for that Office. It is not known we
believe that he adopted any disreputable
or unmanly act to obtain the nomination.
As soon as it was awarded, he retired
from the Senate, returned to the bosom OF
his family in Detroit, and there he waits the
decision Of his countrymen. He has not
evaded the rights of any one, or the rights
Of any party; but has simple consented to
become the President of the United States
if the people shall think fit to elect him.
Prior to his acceptance of the nomina-
tion-with the exception of the abuse that
was heaped upon him because of the po-
sition he assumed in reference to the Or
egon question, and the Mexican war-he
was not assaulted or abused by any one
On the contrary he was favorite with al
most all parties; so highly esteemed was
he, when he was in the cabinet of Gen.
jackson, that he was regarded by the then
opposition as minister who actually re-
lieved the administration from a portion Of
their haired. He was eulogized by the
opposition Of those times; and by the New
York Courier and Enquirer and several
other influential papers, was deemed the
best man the opposition could select as its
candidate for the Presidency.
Gen. Cass has already passed through
the vista Of three score years and upwards;
and never, during that long period, with
but a single exception, has his good name
been assailed. In the year 1898, soon af-
ter the defalcation Of Swartwout, and 9TH
ers, it was charged that he too was de-
faulter, to the amount Of eight hundred
thousand dollars. He was in France at
The time, and Of course, had no means of
defending himself. And, ere he could
have made a defence from the other side
Of the ocean, the infamous story of his de-
falcation had refuted itself, and left its ca
luminous authors to blush for their own
lalsehood and infamy.
A purer, better, nobler- minded man
than Gen. LEWIS CAss, we do not believe
ever lived. You may take his private his
Tory, from infancy to manhood, and from
manhood to old age, and you shall not find
in it spot worthy Of reproach.
As for his fitness for the Presidency.
no mortal man, we fancy, doubts it. His
alents, all the world will admit, are of the
highest order; his experience has been
'ast; his patriotism is undoubted. As a
nan, ne is frank generous, bold, and OPEN
landed; as statesman, he may be ranked
With the ablest of the age.
