PROVIsOISM IN WA.


readers, both Wing and Democrat, 10 the
series Of articles now being published in
our columns, upon the subject Of the vii.
mot Proviso principles in general, and
upon the position which our own State, in
particular, has assumed in regard to those
principles.
Iowa has taken stand with regard to
this prominent and importan, question,
somewhat different from her immediate
neighbors across the river. and it is pleas
ing to the true democrat, to be able to re-
cognise in that stand, noble regard for
the great principles Of the Constitution.
Illinois and Wisconsin, in the exuber-
ance ola pretended philanthropy, have
seemed to forget that the very existence
Of this Union, is due to a spirit Of COM
promise. and that other States have re-
served to themselves rights which cannot,
either directly or indirectly, be invaded,
without violation Of that compromise
They have instructed their Senators in
Congress to exert their utmost endeav'
OFFS to bring about an invasion Of those
reserved rights, and violation Of ,ha
comprirnise.
| Not so with Iowa. The hearts Of hel
people are thoroughly .imbued with the
spirit Of true Democracy. With then
Democracy is principle, which is to go
vern mall matters Of internal policy
and is not to be lost 81 ght Of for the pur
pose Of carrying out any ONE IDEA. He
people are true democrats, and she n true
democratic State; in other words, sh'
recognizes the principles Of Democracy
in her own internal affairs, and among
the States Of the Union.
We feel sorry that men, thought wor
thy Of "'cearing tie Senatorial robes,
and who were suffered to put them OF
because they have hitherto shown them
selves consistent members Of the Demo
cratic brothe rhood, should have 80 ia
wandered from the faith cherished b.
their State, as to have used their persona
and official influence in endeavoring I
place that State in false position befor
her sisters Of the Conlederacy. We re
