How Wei they agree!

s'g = The reader will find well written article
upon our first page, copied from the Keokuk Dis
patch, upon the dongs of democratic Legislature
this winter. The editor OF that paper is one the
most Incorporating democrats In the State. He
was in this city during the entire session of the
Assembly, and in the honesty Of his nature, speaks
understandingly upon the subject. We trust his ad-
vice to TIE democracy viii be hee ded, emanatDg as
il does from one of the most staunch members of
the party, and Oldest editors in Iowa.'
Such is the cool and chuckiing comment OF the
Republican, the wing organ in Iowa, upon copying
entire into its columns long article from the Keo-
kuk Dispatch, headed aLegislative Assembly" That
article published the 25th of january, tu, as
it only denounced and blamed the democratic maior-
ity, in general fers, calling down upon their devot-
ed heads the popular indignation, We concluded, as
fer as we were concerned, to allow the editor of the
Dispatch to enjoy his pointing fit, unmoles ted. But
like all spoiled children who, for some fancied
Slight leave home and friends to seek their fortune
abroad, so our friend Of the Dispatch has found

BY his wholesale Recommendations of his Old friends

wing wagwam, and in almost So many words invite

figure, and not to stand out in the cold--being too
pouty or ashamed to return to the house which he at
tempted to deile and to the bosom of the family and
friends whom he has ungreatfully vilifed and abus
cd Witness the language which the last Republi-
can feels warranted in using towards our democrat
&c friend Of the Dispatch, in connection with its own
highly wrought eulogy upon the wing address lately
published. II invites an endorsement OF the num-
erous ridiculous charges which that document
makes against the democracy, in the following
words:
fIhe Editor OF the photographic Dispatch, was y
locker on in Venice and took note of what pas
from the beginning to the end, and if he can riscov
ef any errors in the charges contained in this ad
dress, we should be pleased to hear from him.
Now we do not by any means wish 10 insinuata
that the Republican will be gratfed in the expecta
ton which it evidently seems to entertain in rc1a
ton to an open endorsement by the Dispatch of tho
charges made in the wing address. The Republican.
however, has done nothing more than to take the
dispatch at its word-the only difference being,
that cur friend Of the Dispatch denounces the de-
mocracy OF the Gen. Assembly IN general, our vbip
friends in particular terms. We would like to soc
our friead Russell well out of this scrape: hut do
not see how he can refuse to concur in the senti-
mcnts mot the entire batch of charges) of the whr
address, without swallowing his own words.
But another extract from another orgau, showing
how warmly and cordially the Dispatch has been
embraced by the other, abolition branch of the
wing party, and we have done. The Freeman Of the
10th inst says.
