More Ruin.

Our friends throughout the country, on
account of its general prosperity, should
not indulge the idea that in the coming
contest Federalism will be content to wage
an honorable warfare for specified princi-
pies, AS llmight it be expected of the
Ethiopian to change his skin, and the
Leopard his spots,'' as to hope that hoary-
headed Federalism would, under its adj
verses, learn how to do honorable battle.
1t has but one theme, and already it is
heard in the distance---its mutterings are
daily growing more distinct, and ere long
it will be the burden of every Federal
speech and editorial. Our opponents be-
lieve, and practice upon the belief, that
ssMan never is, but always to be blest,'
and the more general prosperity of the
country, the more necessary for them to
croak of ruin, and multiply promises of
better times. Thus has it been in the
past, and what was done in the ''green
tree, will be done in the dry" Take from
them this weapon, and like the man in the
Iplay-their occupations gone''-Fede-
ralism is defunct.
Yesterdays convention at Harrisburg,
Of the iron-mongers, is intended to ope-
rate upon the community, by informing it
of the ruin about to come upon us. II
these Lilliputian Vulcans cannot forge
Ithunder-bolts, they will attempt to forge
hand-bills filled with dolorous complaints,
and lachrymose appeals to the people, for
whom they will affect the most unfeigned
love. Forewarned is forearmed, and we
trust that these would-be dictators and
drivers Of the people will meet the retri-
button their conduct deserves. These
men have grown rich under a system that
protected capital, and enabled them to lord
it over the physical and mental rights of
those whose brawny arms made them their
wealth. When they cry ruin, let the la
borer know that it is because they cannot
Cypress him-that instead of contributing
to his welfare, they are bent upon reviv-
ing system, which will pour its wealth
upon the employer, at the expense of his
Observation-Disclosures.

opinion is, the fact that it is now verv popular,

important reason ls, the securing of an Editor for

The RrpoRTER will, as heretofore, be mainly de.

tfines and the advocacy Of corresponding measures
Of State and National policy. These measures
though leaitimatcly resulting from never-chaneirg,
inn1table principies--we believe should still be- DIS
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac-
ter having for their ultimate object the equalization
both Of the benefits and burthens OF gevernment.--
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous SUPPORT Of the enlightened, iast
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-moaey and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratic party. AS long as our party shall adhere TO
and enforce these, and principles and measures sim
liar in their character and tendency, so long do
expect II stand BY it, and no longer. Furthermore
we consider ourselves pledged to the support Of In

formity to its established customs, for stations of

principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.,l
The vital importance to our party, especially at the
present crisis, of straight forward, fearless and
efficient champion Of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of state government, must we
persuaded, be too well understood and spprcci-
ated, to require any thing more than bare ausion
to 1t on this OCCASION. We are now on he eve of
State and Presidential election. in both Of which
the Democracy of Iowa will, besides deciding upon
variots other subjects OF vast Importance to
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has SO pigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ion for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by ingior-
Gus, lily disguised and tratrous partzans at home
