To the Demacracy of lown.--One
word abOnt our own affairs.

s - -
Now that we have said our say about
the election, and the cause, ere our next
issue, will have been decided by the jury
Of the people, we hope to be INDUCED for
obtruding word relative our own affairs,
upon our democratic boethren in general
and our friends throughout the State, if we
have deserved any. This is merely by
way Of correction, which justice to our
selves requires US to make, concerning a
|misapprehension which has obtained, not
to any great extent, we are aware, con-
corning the change in the proprietorship
Of the Reporter. The impression has been
entertained, from what cause we do not
know, that the sale of this establishment,
made tc Us early last spring, was merely a
transfer to enable it's former proprietor to
obtain relaxation and settlement Of the
accounts Of the concern. Nothing could
be farther from the truth, or more iniuri-
Gus to US in its effects, than such an i'm
preston aIaong our readers, though, as
we believe, originating in no i'll feeling TO-
wards the present conductors Of this pa
per. 3t
We have embarked our all in this en-
terprise, in good faith, and with whatever
energy and force of character we may pos
sess, are pledged to sustain it just so long
as we meet Gas we hope we have done to
some extent) the approving smiles Of the
democracy OF the State. Further we would
state, that the former publisher of the Re-
porter has no inclination to resume the ar
duous duties of his late station, even if
we felt disposed to compromise our own
reputation and prospects of an honest, live
lihood by such an arrangement. Having
stuck our stakes and put our hands to the
plough, we are not even disposed to look
back.
Thus far we have been sustained in our
enterprise fully as well as we could have
expected, under the unfavorable indica-
tons over shadowing us at its commence
ment. We would therefore take the pre-
sent occasion, when the candle of the de-
mocracy of Iowa burns brightly upon the
present and prospective destinies of the
State, to express our thanks to those po-
ltical friends who have, and still continue
to aid and encourage us in the task which
we have undertaken. LEN. -..s

Der, ocrats TO sl,c Polls.

y
The day for argument and pursuasion
has gone by, and the time for action has
arrived. Reason, if it were capable o.
making inroads upon minds darkencd
BY the black cloud Of federal bigotry, must
have changed its darkness to the perfect
day Of democratic light and liberty ere this
late day. He that is filthy now, therefore;
will, we fear have to remain filthy still
notwithstanding that the door Of the tenn
pie Of democracy is never closed, even al
the eleventh hour.
.acfion! ACTION /! ACTION!u is the
order Of the day now. Let the democra-
e. Of Iowa, in dealing. with their willy foe
on Thursday next, be wise as serpents.
and harmless as doves. The wings are
fighting for the Offices; they know Of nc
other or more ennobling incentive to ac-
ton; their whole code Of principles are
compriseain the words ssioares and fshes'
The ground which The democracy occupy
is high and noble ground. They fight for
their long cherished principles. These
ore well known and inscribed upon their
banners. Tney wish no ccneealment.-
Nay, they court the midday sun Of the pop
ulsr gaze, for when their principles and
measures are best known, they are most
appreciated. They live by the light, and
darkness is their worst enemy. Theirs is

to nerve them with strength and courage
to beat back the time serving, man-wor-
slippers BY whom they are opposed at the
polls.
Let the democracy then be on the alert.
The work which is to be done OIL Tues
day next, is work which vast portion
Of you have never before enjoyed the priv
ilegc of engaging in. If it is done nobly
and well, then you may res. in peace from
labors of this kind for tie next four years.
Stand by your country, then, and by your
vote. rebuke her enemies and traducers.

Not hearing Of any definite arrange

ed supply, mostly by mail, to all the

will doubtless have ordered tickets else

The wings and Native American,

On the 18th Of November, l845, Daniel
Webster delivered Speech at Boston, of
which the following is an extract. 1t
shows the identity of whiggery and Ma
tiveism:-
IL cannot speak of either of these par
ties, the Natives and Abolitionists. in
terms ofreprcach or unkinkness. Think
of them more in sorrow than in anger
Applause l must look upon some of
them as upon our brethren who were
with us lately, listening and speaking in
our councils in this very hall. l mean
gentlemen, HE NATIVE AMERICAN
PARTY, Of whom TITS THEFARTH-
EST THING FROM MY MIND TO
SPEAK OF THEM WITH ANY UN-
KINDNESS. They are bone Of our bone
and flesh of our flesh Cheers. Ilament
deeply, fervently lament the course they
think it their duty to pursue. What can
they do? If THERE is ANY THING
IN THIS COUNTRY, WHICH is A
CHERISHED OBJECT WITH THE
WINGS, IT is A REFORMATION
OF THE NATURLIZATION LAWS.
Who of all the Native Americans WILL
GOFURTHER THAN IHAVEGONE,
and am willing to go still under the Cons
titution FOR THE PROTECTION OF
AMERICAN, NATIVE AMERICAN
RIGHTS, and the purity of the ballot
box" Applause, in the midst Of which
loud voice cried, you're good native
Daniel to which Mr.. Webster answered,
as the cheers subsidized, i RATHER
THINK l AM Renewed laughter
applause.
"Wi,hin the limits Of the Constitution
am willing to go as far as he who goes
farthest. | am older than many of the
Native Americans themselves. Laugh.
l HAVE SEEN THE PERNICIOUS
INFLUENCE OF THESE FOREIGN
VOTES FOR THE LAST THIRTY
YEARS, and have raised my voice when
there was some chance to make it heard,

NERS as certain as any monarch of
Europe counts upon HIS SERFS. Ihave
seen that there was 10 remedy for the
evil but revision of the naturalization
laws. For this have done all in my
power, l will do all in my power
Cheers.) And what lament is, that
those who have united for this very pur-
pose themselves take away great part
OF the strength necessary to accomplish
what they desire, and which let me tell
them, WE DESIRE AS MUCH AS
THEY DO.'

y With the election of Lewis Cass or

We supposed that when the people voted
for man to fill an office, and he was cleo

formed by him under the constitution

sentative then is he, if not the represents.

one Thousand Dollars Reward


The wings of the North charge that
Gen. Cass, if elected, will veto the vii.
mot Proviso. Some unprincipled wing
orators Of Iowa have also had the hardi-
hood to reitcrate this assertion, made with
out the shadow Of foundation. Let il
be remembered that j H Colvin, Of
Syracuse, N. Y, offered one thousand
dollars reward to any one who would
prove that Gen. Cass had ever uttered a
sentence or written word in favor Of
extending slavery into the territory ac-
q"irea from Mexico. Let it also be re-
menbcred. that although this reward has
been published in hundreds Of democratic
papers throughout the country, no person
has yet appeared to claim il.
Cen. Cass has. never uttered any such
sentence Neither has he ever said that
he will veto the Wilmot Proviso, If effect

pressed by Zachary Taylor. They pre-

all of them cannot be true. Still this man

what do they Hate Cnss for?

Democrats, remember that England
hates Lewis Cass because he defeated
their famous quintuplc treaty!
The Mexicans and their allies in thi.
country also hate him, because he stood
up like IN American for American rights
in the prosecution of the war with Mex
leo!
1t will do for English and Mexicans
abroad to curse, and for their allies in
this country to defame Lewis Cas-
Americans will love him the more.
