gives to its incumbent greater control
over the distribution Of patronage, than
any other officer under the administra-

What we would ask, should be the char.
acter Of the man occupying position Of
SO much importance;-aad that too, un-
der an administration professedly hostile
to prescription, and avowedIy aiming to
conciliate and hnrmonize all parties!--
What should be the moral and politics
standing Of man, thus made the very
fountain Of patronage? The man entrust-
ed with the extended power, and called
to perform the delicate Offices pertaining
10 such place, should possess charac-
ter free from all suspicion. and be regar-
ded among his fellow men as the pattern
of political honesty, as we'll as stern and
moral integrity.
Does Fitz Henry Warren possess any
such a character? Has he one single
trait about hin, that renders him prop
err person to dispense the patronage Of an
which is avowedly the
peoples administration! As TO his char
ncter for political honesty, let his course
as prominent member Of the wing par
ty Of Iowa bear testimony.
Coming to our state, as will presently
be shown, hopeless bankrupt, and hav-
ing no visible means of acquiring live
lihood, he lives in luxurious ease, and
gives his whole time and energy to the
central whig committee at Washington,
with his pockets filled with the corrup-
ton funds Of that corrupt organization;
there is no political act however mean
and despica bic but he is ready to engage
in it. When it becomes necessary tina,
the delegation from Des Mones County
should be whig, in order to defeat the g.
lection Of United States Senators, Fitz
Henry Warren has TIE means, and the
blackened heart and scared conscience to
use those means, in sending honest demo-
cratic laborers out Of the county for the
purpose of"driring Aogs," but
really to effect their absence at the polls
on the day Of election. Is this an act
characteristic Of Of high minded and
honorable man? When it becomes nee
essary to effect any object Of legislation,
for the advancement Of wing interests,
Fitz Henry Warren has always been
found creeping nbou: the perlieus of the
Capitol, watching for an opportunity to
ezpend to advantage the corruption funds
furnished by the centa! committee, thro'
the direction Of that gray haired, political
sinner Truman Smith,! Is this acquir-
ing character for political integrity and
which should recommend
him to the high regard and confidence, of
one ofthe successors and an avowed mi-
tator Of WASHINGTON?
When corrupt band of religious "a
natics, in their migrations to a far off
country, have taken up a temporary So
journ upon our distant borders, who so
ready as Filz Henry Warren to be 6ap-
tiled into their faith in order to gain their
confidence, and frau dulently bring them
to the support of wing men and wing
measures? and when the votes Of this
same band are by their corrupt and mer-
cinary leaders offere for a price, who
but Fitz Henry Warren is ready to en-
ter into the bargain and pay the price in
accordance with his degrading and cor
rupting stipulations? Are these acts
which should place man in high and
elevated position before his country, and
give to him power and direction over
his fellow countrymen equal to that per-
tanning to the Office Of Second Assistant
Post Master General?
But what is the standing of this same
Filz Henry Warren in the place that has
known him from the days Of his youth

Warren's native town.
