Some day or other the same exhibit will be

The paragraph above, from the Dubuque Her
aid, neutral paper, has meaning. The lead
ing editor Of the paper is a Democrat, and we
presume in the secrets Of .he porty, though
some of his home truths occasionally rle old
Hunkerdom very much What then can be its
meaning? We can but conjecture. l.ocofoco
Office lders have been in power here for many
years past. Known only TO themselves are the
secrets Of the financial affairs fthe State. The
people know that they have paid burdensome
taxes, growing higher and higher from year to
year, aud that thing has been expended ex-
cept in paymen. of locofoco office holders, and
the members Of the Legislature. And they
know too that these expenses have involved the
State in debt to near the amount Of one hundred
thousand dollars, and they do not know how
much more.-Vat!cy Whig
The editors Of the Wing will bear in mind
that this article has been acknowledged by the

mind that it is habit with the misanurope
Dennis, to hurl charges of baseness and cor

sacred precincts Of private judgment and private

The State Of Iowa owes no hundred thousand
lollars, and never will, while under Democratic
.ule; and there has been no corruption of Dem
,cratic State officers, Dennis and the Wing to
The contrary notwithstanding.
When the Valley Wing states, that the fl !
nanciaI condition of this State is known only to
Democratic officers, it uters what must know
% be untrue. Every man in the State, who
desires to know the financial condition of this
State, can know it by consulting by letter, or
,,herws", ,h, Auditor, WIN. Pattee, who is as
honest, faithful, and efficient public officer, as
his State, or any other, ever had We abhor
hese base and groundiess insinuations, for po-
itical effect. Common decency and self res
,ec,, if not political honesty and State pride,
should protect The community from sucl, con-
slant TRADES Of low abuse, slang and slander
rom those who WELD the pen, and seek to give
one to public sentiment If Democratic off
;ers are guilty Of corruption and fraud, give tie
world the proof of their guilt and let conviction
oilow proof, and punishment follow conviction.
The Democratic party and press seek to screen
10 man from punishment, if deserved; but il
must know before it arraigns him for trial, that,
lis offence consists in something more alarm.
ng, than simply being Democrat, and that his
lccuscrs are men who deal in stubborn facts,
md not imaginary figures.
Gentlemen of the Wing and Neutral press,
he people Of Iowa are not to be blindfolded and
consigned to pit Of error from which there is
scarcely hope Of escape, upon your mere ipsi-
iirit,
