owa srcialready in the political market for
ia. One Of their faglemen, VIM. Penn Clark,
las addressed the ranks in sort Of pronuncia-
rento style, IA which he labors to convince the
that 4 union of Freesoihsm with
Whigism is the only sure way by which the
former car, mount into power This is the sum
and substance Of this document We ore glad
to perceive that many Of our fellow citizens in
the Wing ranks scout this proposition and re-
fuse to be a party to any such contamination
Free soil, forsooth IF these freesoilers dcpre-
cate slavery to the extent of exterminating it
from the country, why not 60 and preach against
il where it exists, and not make their attacks
upon the enemy in neutral port. Such is the
relation in which we are placed upon this ques-
ton and he who violates our mutual rights be-
comes our enemy. We look upon the several
States as independent communities, bound to-
gether for protection and defence by the great
treaty called the Constitution. Each State en-
terng the confederacy becomes party to that
treaty, and swears through its representatives to
maintain, uphold and defend it. That treaty
guarantees certain rights-so called by some of
the States, and though denied by others in the
abstract, yet recognized and yielded and confirm
ed by ALL An attack upon these acknowledged
rights by a State or individual who is party to
the contract, is an attack upon the integrity OF
the plighted faith of that State individual, and
direct assault upon the treaty or Constitution
which is the bond of union and the pledge of
power Are the people of Iowa ready at the
bidding of few fanatics to war with her sister
States-ready to interfere with their domestic
affairs, which she has solen,nly sworn to protect
ready to dictate to them course of conduct
in their political economy which is in direct OPP
position to their acknowledged rights, and which
they cannot part with but at the horrible sacri-
fee of civil war? No; Iowa is not ready for
such crisis. Neither Wings nor Democrats
are ready for such sacrifice, and though polit-
ical defeat may be the result Oft strict obedience
to the dictates Of patriotism, we say let it come.
The Democratic party will form no union but
that which tends to harmonic, strengthen and
protect the union Of the States in one, indivisi-
BILE naticn. -s.s ..
Freesoilers know the position Of the Democ-
racy Of Iowa upon this question and that knowl-
edge keeps them from making propositions which
they foresee must be rejected. Hence a union
with the Wing party, /. c. the party in power
in the national Administration is courted. What
apicture does the Freesoil party present while
making this PROPOSITION. union Of anomalies
union of contrarietics--a union of inconsisten
cies--any kind of union which will give infu
ence to few disaffected leaders who feel thai
their efforts and talents have not been apprecia
ted.
Such is the position Of the Frcesoil party, if
indeed there be such party in Iowa. True
there are some few leaders such as we have be
fore alluded to; there may be also few dupe
who follow in the wake Of these political vessels
but as to Freesoil party such and holdin!
the sentiments attributed to these disorganizers
we hold there is no party Of the kind in Iowa
The people of Iowa have hitherto attended t
their own business and we see no reason why
they should just now depart from that wise ant
proper course, which has hitherto characterised
them in their intercourse with their partners il
the confederacy. The creeds Of the two grea
parties of the country embrace all legitimate pc
litical issues within the Constitution and beyon'
that there is no rest for the feet Of the po!tica
wanderer.

We learn from the Prairie du Chen Patrio
/ that the Winnebago Indians are returning
Wisconsin from their late home on the Gro
Wing. Serious trouble is apprehended fro'
these movements and unless the Governmer

people, they must starve or steal
