The Peru Democrat--its politics intima
ted by its name-ihus endorses the seuti-
ments Of iha Free Trader, a thorough go. |
iug Locoloco paper:
The Hon. David L. Gregg spent short time
in this towniast week, Leaving for Springfield on
Monaay last During the week Mr.. Gregg visit
ed Ottawa, and on Friday morning addressed al
large concourse OF people at The Court House,
upon the nom Intervention question The Free
Trader speaking Of the meeting says:
'.Mr. Gregg takes the Democratic side Of this
great question, which is, that this government
will not interfere in the afGSrs of Austria and
Hungary, and tha. she will not quietly allow any
other power to interfere. His speech was re-
ceiyed with the highest satisfaction"
The Iowa Western Democrat says:
'sThe Iowa Republican charges tho Dubuque
Herald with violating its neutrality by inclining
to Democracy. We think The charge unjust, for
there is . much Of an inclination towards mhig-
gsey (instance-sentimen. towards Kossuth) as
towards democracy in It's editorials"
Tho KeokM Dispatch says:
'sNow, then, this foreign "non-interyention"
question win absorb all others in the next Pres-
DENTAL canvass. The old party Issues will be
comparatively uncared for.''
The hInscatine Enquirer says:
In addition to the names given, we may add
that thousands of our most honored Democratic
public men, and with iare exceptions, the DEM
ociatc press OF the country, have taken position
mol TO be misunderstood, in favor Of avowing this
law Of nations, and making il Part Of our diplo-
matte code--and many even for maintaining il
With our whole military and naval power. Thi;
doctrine, then, we believe, is to enter largely into
The politics Of our countryside progressive De.
mocracy taking its stand on the side Of humanity
upon The side Of the freedom OF the people
against the tyranous combination Of despotic
powers We append here, as more to the pom,
than anything we can write, an article from the
Chicago Argus, an able Democratic paper:
| HThel long established doctrine Of non-interven.
ton practised by our government, is, we think
beyond doubt, to be materially if not wholly
changed. The desire Of Intervention is growing
with rapdity unexampled in our political bis,
tory, and it viii hardly be matter Of surprise to
the observing, should this question become q
leading one in the coming presidential election
j The different democratic associations, those
mighty aids to the success Of party, have, wher
ever an expFession Of sentiment has been obtain.
led, unanimously recommended change in oul
non-interven,ion policy.''
