| we must conclude that most are dissatisfied with
what they themselves have done. The remainder
of the article is tissue OF conclusions without
sufficient data to sustain them, and Of false allu-
sions. "Free soil principles on the increases,

he says five of the successful candidates were free
solers; three free soil wings good as any body,
he says. For Heavens sake, and the more com.
plete and satisfactory triumph OF your party and
principles, why did you not have the names ofthese
three wings on your free-soil ticket? Mr. Howe,
please tell US.

keep his spirits up.o Ifthese three men are all
s'free sellers, and good any body,'' why were
the names of Messrs Dorland, SHARP, and Smith
placed on the free soil ticket9 1.-THE others are as
good any body, of course these are little better
than any body. No, they were not free soilers as
good as any body before the election, in the eyes
of Mr. Howe or his coadjutors. They may be free
soers, but they are not immediate and uncondi-
tonal emancipationists. They are not abolition
lists, and this is the reason why they were not as
good free soilers before the election as Mr. Howe
would have the world believe they are now. Free
soiism and abolitonism being synonymous terms
in this county, which Can be proven from their
prints.
So much for these three successful candidates.
The other two have always been regarded as DEM

ZIONIST. much that he was taken up and placed
by the free soil party on their ticket for county
clerk, and that after his name had been placed on
the democratic ticket for the same office. Why
was not Mr. Beers name placed on their ticket for
prosecutor at the same time they had no candi-
date for that office, and Mr. Beers was the demo-
cratic candidate for that office. why was Mr. Grant
ham chosen and Mr. Beers left? only because they
did not know Mr. Beers to be as good an abolition
ist as Mr. Grantham. But they arc both elected,
and now they are both proclaimed alike, very good
free soilers, 'as good as any body BY what means
were these two last candidates elected? why, by
the base falsehood of profe ssed christian and good
abod'ionisi who are informed was at Salem the
focus of abotionism, and the strongest o.nship
in the county, boldly declaring that these men had
both left the democratic party and joined the free
sellers; and il was taken for bible TRUTH as il had
to be, coming from bible Christian. So much for
the glory OF free soilism in Henry in the present
contest. Aud the editor continues ,rhistieng, and
says: Hereafter no need put himself before the
people ei any hope ofsuecess only on their prinei-
pies. He says our loco rro-slavery friend Mr. Dill
lon is fair exempiiication OF this fact. We take
1t, he says, that Mr. pilcn seceived the Hunker
whig and the demcesstic vsec, and that he is pro-
slavery all over, dyed in the and that he thrust
himself forward as the especial opponent of the
freesol nominees. Mr. Dillon is democrat but that
he is prosavery all over dyed in the WOOL ftesot
ten in the faith that ISL is of films big tales,
for which he is challenged TO produce the evidence
If he has any Mr. Dillon is free soilcr, but he Is
not an abohtionist. That he was special oppo-
nent of the free soil nominees is not true. Why
should he be? he did not expect to be elected, as
the democratic ticket was not complete he placed
his name before the people as a candidate for the
House of Representatives. He declared then and
during the canvass that he was democrat, all
over, dyed in the WOOL but that he pfo-slavery
so far, Mr. Howe is not in posse son Of the evil
dence to prove, because such evidence does not
list. But that he got the Hunker wing aud demo-
cratic vote is net true, MIR Howe would have
known, if an honest election had engaged his mind
but for moment. take it, that in Salem town
ship there are some Eunker wings but do not know
exactly what stripe of wings those are in Iowa.
know that there are some go or more democrats in
that township. Now how many votes did Mr. Dill
Ion receive in Salem? None, not one. Conse-
quently he could not have received the whole of
this vote, as stated.
Now for false allusion. The idea is strongly
implied that Mr. Dillon strayed from Texas. Mr. Dill
lon never saw Texas. But if he had he is entitled
to respect just far his course is worthy and
honorable; yes, thousand songs and eternal praise
should be awarded him for his moral courage, if he
is found to possess the smallest particle of com

Mr. Howe congratulates himself that he has full
ticket elect, Of freesoiler Gas good any body
but yet he would appear to have been better pleas
ed from his closing remarks, if Mr. Smith could |
have succeeded instead ofMr Morton. From this |
conclude Mr. Smith is little better soilcr than
any body.
We may have to hear the rumblings Of young Ju-

undertaken these structures; but being placed so |
Tar beneath his throne shall rest secure in the |
hope that they will glide silently our heads; |
or should they come in contact with our craniums,
exposed as they have been to the "sunbeams of the
South" may they not prove impenetrable and his
bolts fall harmlessly at our feet. JIM.
