Pay up and saves

THE subscribers, wishing to clo,i - !,

stock of goods II: cost. The people or iowa
City and its vicinity, they are confident, will
find it to their interest to give them call be-
fore purchasing elsewhere; as knowing that no
merchant. making livelihood by selling goods
can sell as cheap, for their stock was purchas-
ed last spring for cash.
All those knowing themselves indebted to
the undersigned either by book accountor note
of hand are requested TO come and settle the
same between now and spring, to save costs.
AS this is the first time that they have pub
licly dunned their customers, and some of their
debts having been due for two years, they hope
that their kind indulgence will be recprocated
by paying up, and thereby save trouble and
costs to both parties.

THERE ARE "A CLASS OF SPECTATORS

seize upon anything by which they can delude
the public and fill their own pockets. The
great Sarsaparilla root as a cure for all forms
of diseases, has induced many of these men to
to attempt to palm off some compound which
then label as an extract of the pure Honduras
Sarsaparilla. The country has been flooded
with these compounds, and many have been in
duced to purchase them, but the only result has
been cruel disappointment thin, washy
mess of stuff, cooked up without any regard to
the effect upon the patient, can but bring down
upon the manufacturers the condemnation of a
deceived public.

Which has had more extensive sale than most,
has just exploded. We refer to that notorious
sour fermentinc compound of S. p Townsend's.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

NIESSRS EDITORS: The extract from letter of a cor
respondent Of the Phadephi Pennsylvania, copied
into your paper of yesterday ask the favor to reply
briefly.
Speaking of the Democracy of this city, and Of the NUM-
cipal election in June next the correspondent says:
"They have already made nomination for Mayor, Mr..
John W. Maury being the Democratic candidate In the
Fifth Ward John Mulloy, esq and IN the Third Ward, Col
Barrett the Democratic candidates for the Board of Com
Council John McNeale Latham, nephew of the dis
tnguished banker of the firm of Messrs Seden Co.,
Democratic candidate for the Board of Aldermen in the
third Nominations will be made In all the Wards for both
branches of the Council We expect that majority Of the
members of the next Council will be Democrats
Now sirs claiming 10 know something about the action
of the Democratic party here hesitate not to pronounce
the statement quoted false gross and false detail The
author whoever he Is knew when he penned the lines that
he ppnning taSehoOd he keD that the Democracy
Of this city had made HuMNAToN for Mayor for

him for that Office IA letter signed by upwards of seventy

bringing national politics into city elections; and

upon all good Wings who may dare to disregard the

selves the Dictatorship not only OF the city but OF the Wing

to reelection upon high and honorable grounds of the

that issue of Wings. 1t strange
that his friends should insist upon raising him
which he repudates! IL is not treating him fairly with

A Resigned Council.

We learn from the jersey City Sentinel that
the common council of that city, having balloted
for president two hundred and eight times
without effecting choice, have unanimously re
signed, and appointed the Sd June for new
election Of aldermen by the people. This singular
drawn battle was owing to nicely-balanced diff
ference Of opinion on the subject of granting
licenses-the division being not between Wings
and Democrats, for there is a clear majority Of
the former, but between the NEnine-law and anti
Maine.law men.
1t is the strange infatuation of the Wings to
suffer their power to be weakened by the intro
ducton Of side-issues, or a spurious sentiment Of
iberality. Seldom do we ever hear Of their op-
ponents thwarting the interests Of their party by
such course. We admire the Democratic party
for their consistency in this, and wonder not at
their successes.

General scott,s Letters.

The editor Of the Baltimore Clipper, somewhat
devotedly attached to the cause of the present
administration, and anxious for its perpetuation,
says that he has read the letters of Gen. Scott
attentively; that there is not syllable in them
which would induce him, if he intended to vote
for him, to withhold his support; and that he
believes that others will be similarly influenced.
The General, he remarks, does not adopt any Of
the ridiculous isms of the day, and expresses his
sentiments with great frankness on the questions
propounded to him.
1t will be remembered that these letters are
the materials with which the opponents Of Gen
Scott intend to destroy him
