he did know that every locoioco office

that all the locofoco members of the Leg.

was "Back Dan" man; he was not vet

cy was concerned; and he had no idea of
going for Taylor until Webster. Clay Cor

stand ys had Justice done them. Goodrel
had a private difficulty with King to set
tie. Browne had just been on spree,
and was not in trim. Old Hawk was
afraid Of defining his position. Ore from
a late Indian Agent was "too much 7ay-
Tor" for the company, and was passed
without reading. He was for taking Tay-
lor "wi,hcut why or wherefore" He
was for no-parfy President, and there

There was general crawfishing among
all the leading wings, and Clay stock was
above par. There was not a particle Of
enthusiasm and the whole affair went off
without even leaving smoke behind.
Before getting up another affair of the
kind, we advise the wings Of Jefferson to
get permi, from ''head quarters''-and
then, perhaps, they may succeed; but even
then, We Can assure them that they can't

that "while in Jasper county, made ar

an officer Of his own making! He was
there on the Oath day Of July last-the pc.

These circumstances alone would afford a
strong presumption against him. But his

Mr.. Editor: the following lines were
hastily written to describe the impression
produced BY sight of the notorious King,
who has gained such celebrity for the part
he bore in the brijery affair got up by The
wings last winter, and who has since been
very property styled the Lion OF the ~Ais
party of Iowa. AS there is considerable
inquiry concerning the individual who has
made so mucI, noise in the state, end been
50 idolized by his party for "the pure
prompfangs q IAN honest md patriotic heart,"
You are at liberty to publish them if you
consider them fit to appear in print. l
cannot say much for the measure of the
lines, and as for the figures used in the
description, they are such as naturally
suggested themselves in connection with
the subject. 1t was my intention TO have
had them appended TO old Hawks "dribs-
ry and corruption pamphlet" 10 aid its sale;
but, on enquiry, | learn that he has met
such poor encouragement that he will
probably not issue second edition of that
valuable work. ...-' .. .. ,....#

House as correct. ] may be mistaken, sir.
They have preserved consistency intheir
perseverance TO perfect their schemes O..
oppression and tyranny. We are assured
of this. sir, not only here upon this floor,
but it is npen every tongue and in differ.
parts Of the State we hear of it, that The
gentleman must be voted out Of his seat. -
And in view Of these facts, the minority
upon this floor well know that every ef-
tort to convince would prove abortive, es-
pecially when men have published their
fixed determination to accomplish lheir OBJ
ject, at all hazards. But if, perchance,
any ofthe opposition should become con-
WINGED of the failacy Of their position, their
convictions would be smoihered and sup
pressed, and they would Soy with the
Hunchback,

yet we were determined to resist the ag-
erosion to the last. We were determin.

rights were wantonly assailed; and If we

thousand freemen OF Iowa, there will be
found enough to drag it from the rubbish
and mass of corruption with which it is
encountered; and ere the anniversary O.

ministered. At the ballot box, the freemen
Of Iowa will enlrust their rights tothe care
of men who will defend them, and their
