& TO THE DEMOCRACY or DELLA
WARE COUNTY.
FELLOW DEMocRATs;-I am aware that
there 10 some little dissention existing in
our ranks atthis time. but feel assured that
these little family qaarrels will not be al
10 wed to interfere in the lenst with cur DO.
litical principles. Whatever personal hos
Utility may have existed, or may still exist
in the mind ofany Democrat against any
one ofthe candidates presented for our 81 f
frages by the county convention, should not
De suffered tosinf1uence the vote or lessen
the ardour Of support Of any one who cherish
Ees the principles of true Democracy.
The question should not be, how we like
the man, bnt how DO his political; principles
square with the standard Of our faith!
Arc you wiling, by Welding to your per-
sonal hostlities. to see the enemy triumph.
and such men as have been brought out BY
the wings, placed in office by your neglect!
Who have he wings brought Quit In the
first place, what shall we say of Oimstead
the wing candidate for Judge Of Probate!-
greater Tory does not exist in the north
Of Iowa.
What was his language with regard to
the Mexican War! he denounced it with all
the venom he possessed, and like certain
others Of the same political stripe, aejoiced
at the fall of the gallant Mills, upon the field
of battle. Are you willing to confer the
honors of the county upon such man!
Crosier, the wing candidate for Sheriff is
one ''of the same sort' and ifthe Democra.
cy will only stand true to thens elves, he,
with So te,c more" will be "ief."
Doct. Dorm, understand, is so sure of
an election, that he is already preparing to
move to the county seat to enter upon the
duties of his office. 1t might be great re.
lief to his patients, to have him elected. but
a much greater benefit to the people of the
county to have him defeated.
OF Mr.. Ellis have but little to say. He
has become so we'll used to defeat, mot in
political but matrimonial way) that he is
perfectly used to it, and expects it as mat.
ter of course!
On the Democratic Ticket. are men whom
all acknowledge to be faitbfnl and true Is I
the interests Of the county III well as to the
whole country. 1t isour duty, fellow Dem.
ocrate, not oniyto our county, but d ttaI
