PROSPECTUS
OF THE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire dress,
will in future conduct it Jointly, Editors and Pro-
prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER PAUL.
The REPORTER will, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
Of State and National policy. These measures
though cgitimataly resulting from neveI-changng,
immutable prinCipleswe believe should still be,
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
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-noney and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratic party. AS long as party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar in their character and tendency, SO long do
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore,
we consider ourselves pledged to the support of
dividua members of our party-brought out in con-
formty to its established customs, for stations of
honor proft-ony so long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The ialimportance 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
are persuaded, be too well understood and apprec-
ated, to require any thing more than bare ausion
to it on this occasion. We are now on he eve of a
State and Presidential election. in both of which
the Democracy Of Iowa will, besides deciding upon
various other subjects Of vast importance to us
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which il has vi gor-
onsly adopted and successfully carried into
ton, for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by inglor-
Gus, iy-dlsglsed and traitrous partizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
Of Iowa will eynCc their appreciation of the consd
pratIOuS here scented. 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 can bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of inn
provement in young and fourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens at large
News and acknowledgements and Foreign
Miscellany-the instructive and the amusing-will
receive their due share of space and attention keep
ing in view the fact, that while svarety is the spice
of fe' it serves, in eminent degree, to give life
and zest to popular journal.

THE undersigned has been duly appointed ar
i Agent of the Protection Insurance Compa-
ny Of Hartford, Conn, at Iowa City, Iowa, and
is authorized~to insure dwelling houses, stores
and ware houses, mills, manufactures. barns
stables and the contents Of each, together with
every other similar species of property agar
loss or damage by fire. The rates OF prem =.
offered are as low as those of any other simlIa.
institution, and every man has an opportunity
for trifiing sum, to protect himself against the
ravages of this destructive element, which often
in single hour sweeps away the earnings Of
many years.
There are two situations, in either of which
the value of Fire Insurance can be adequately
appreciated, viz: While standing upon the ruins
of persons own property, receiving from the
Insurance office the full amour: which he has
lost; or standing upon the same spot surrounded
perhaps, BY a destitute family, lamenting that
stupidity and folly which failed to provide
against such a contingency.
