they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac-
ter having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits and burthens OF government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened, just

are persuaded be too well understood and appreci-

state and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy OF Iowa will, besides deciding ulon
various other subjects Of vast importance to us as
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which 1t has so Figor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and conforted by lngsori
GUS lily disguised and traitrous rartizans at home
We believe that shall not be disappointed In

Of iowa will evince their appreciation of the consid-
erations here presented, By their efficient aid and
support.

Good Authority ON the War.

The editor Of the North american, in
the city ofMexico, is at the same time
the Mexican correspondent Of the .Norfi
american in Philadelphia. In the latter
capacity he has been much complimented
BY our Federal neigllbors, and on one OF
two well-known occasions, his opinions
have been paraded as the eloquent con
domination Of the war and the administers
ton. Lieut.. TopEY, who conducts the
NORTH .7merican, in Mexico, is most in
trepid writer, and although he may, like
others, sometimes lose his patience b.
the non-arrival Of reinforcements and ol
supplies, yet there are few men in the
American army, whose hearts and whose
pens are more thoroughly patriotic
This able editor-the favorite army cor
respondent Of the domestic NORTH Hmeri-
can, in his paper, the North .4merican, in
Mexico, thus alludes to the conduct Of
those who have opposed, and continue te
oppose the present war. He alludes to a
compliment paid to Messrs. Clay, Coz
WIN, WEBSTER, &C., from the .Moaitos
RepuJlicu,ao, Of the city Of Mexico:
Hear this Americansi Hear it We
whose relatives and friends have fallen
in the desperate encounters of Mexico,
while upholding the banners and the hon
or Of your country! Hear it ye stricken
widows and helpless orphans, whose sup
port and guide have laid down their lives
in defence Of the rights guaranteed them
and you by the blood Of the patriots OF
the revolution, And hear it We few re-
manning links between the glorious a
chievements Of rs and AZ, though il
freeze the feeble lile-pulse and still your
brave hearts beating forever! God Of
| Heaven! Can men thus false to their
country, thus hattered by the common
enemy of the land Of their birth, have the
efrontery to retain their places in the
Congress they have dishonored? We
hope not. II they have any sense oil
shame left, let them desert the companions
ship of Americans and join our foes
| Here they could but kill their country
! men--there they stab their country.
TO what base uses do we come al
last" We remember some Of the mer
above applauded when they stood forth
shining examples. Oh, how the nation
dotted on them! She counted them among
her Jewels, and looked forward to theil
maturer years with the pride of a mother
But the demon of ambition filed her cur
! for them, and they draned it to the drcgs
Unrequited hopes and chided as aspiration:
filled their hearts with bitterness, anc
turned their love of country to gall. Il
an evil moment, the motto rule or ruin,
was adopted by them, and failing in tn.
first, all their energies were devoted t.
the latter.
Much as they have been denounced by the
people whom they have betrayed, whe,
the tribute Of Mexico shall be received

here is there, who would change position
