Democratic Association.

We be gin to think it is about time TO call an
other meeting ofthe association
There is nothing which tends to advance the
interests of the democratic party in a political
canvass more, than coming together about once
week. or once in two weeks, and Interchange
ing opinions 1t is to such meetings that we
are indebted for combination of facts and opin-
ions, instructive to the highest degree.
All men minds are moi constituted the same
Some are very susceptible 'oreceivlng one idea
or fact, and others, an other. All are equally
inportan, in arriving at correct conclusions
Some too, are peculiarly adapted to enforcing
one idea and passing superfcially over an other
perhaps of equal Importance; while others, vii
grasp the one but partially noticed, and enforce
il with energy and effect Thus, is the old ?.
dage verified, that, 1.-TWO heads are better thar
one . And it is from associations of this kint
and a frank and full interchange of sentiments
that we are schooled in the true Issues of thu
two parties and acquaint ourselves with the In
fuences which control the leading members
both. We know that our ancient enemy gene
rally require great deal Of watching. Al th'
particular time, they require more than ever DC
fore. Why; because their case is more desper
ate; and it Is their motto, that their efforts in
political canvass, shall be proportioned. to tn
desperation of their case. IF they find it diff
cult to carry an election, without resorting t
serret circulars, campaign pamphlets and 40

The Musca,nc journal announces that ex-
Governor Lucas Of this State 'shas come out
decidedly and openly for Gen. Scott." Here
tofore the Governor hts been ''staunch Dem
ocrat" He was formery Governor of Ohio
and member of Con gress from that State. He
was warm supporter OF Gen. Jackson. He
WAS appointed Governor of Iowa Territory by
President Van Buren, and " as member OF the
first Constitutional Convention Of Iowa.. Such
is the man whose present choice is Wintetd
Scott --Dabugus Tribune.
In these times Of severe labor for the whig
party, we dislike to deprive it's members of any
cor rselation, which may relieve them, in this,
t.,eir darkest hour of political misfortune but
we cannot allow misapprehension to 60 abroad,
as to the political complexion of this aged re-
cruit to the Scott ranks We respect and ven.
crate Ex Governor Robert Lncas, as a man and
citizen much but we regret that the infirma
ties Of age have so far impaired his understand
ne as to render him, for the last few years,
rather the advocate Of men, thar of measures
We recollect some years since when A. Briggs
was the democratic candidate for Governor, that
the Ex. Governor, became an Independent can.
dldate against nm Tor the same once "heH
the present Executive was a candidate FOR the
Office. the Ex Governor was likewise very hos
tile to him, and appeared in the public prints
against him. Both gentlemen were triumphant
ly elec'ed, to the utter dscredit OF the Ex Gov
ernnrs influence.
This shows that the Ex-Governors course
has tended greatly to lessen his influence in the
party, with whom be originally acted and BY
whom he was honored; and therefore, if the re
port be true, tina, he has gone over to the Scot
rartvx it will astonish no one in this state.
We argue u'@s''a~report is true. because j

WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. i.
what Shall We Say on Rail Roads

We know that our friends in the country feel
very deep interest in the subject of railroads,
and expect something to be said as often,
once month upon the subject. We can give
them no ncorragement, by way of a grant for
this state. The "Iowa Land Bill'' if not entirely
deud, is past resuscitaiion. The "Omnibus
Bill'' has been lost, and Bennet's Land Distri-
button Bill, has received its quie,us in the Sen
ate. We then stand at this time, where
have stood, for the last six years, an unsuccess-
ful applicant for railroad donation of lands to
Iowa. The period for obtaining this grant, we
think has passed and it becomes Us to look about
and see where cur next best prospect 10. We
ave nothing to expect, unless il be from private
nterprise This we think will lend US hell p-
ing hand by and by From present indications,
we are assured that the railroad from Chicago
to this point, will be speedily finished. No road
in the United States, will pay az well, as this
road when finished. We draw this inference,
from the business which the Eastern portion of
.he road is DONG and has been, since its compile
| ton, which was about eighteen months since.
| Fifteen per cent. was divided for the yenr
ending May last and on the fouth of this month,
the Board of Directors, after making provision
for relayiny the track of the frs Division of the
Road with heavy Trail, allowing to s;ockh Id
ers of the Second Division between $4,000
and 1000, aud leaving surplus Of the joint
earnings of the first and second Divisions, esti-
\ cal r,d ciotS S;t,;.
dcnd of I2 per cant from the surplus revenue
of the road The dividends have thus amount
ed to twenty seven per cent, for one year and
thsee months.
And the business which has afforded such an
enormous dividend, has been what may be term
ed, ,cay business. A business which is pro-
duced from the district of country through
W which the road passes. As a matter OF necessity,
every additional mile which is finished and put
in operation, will add its proportonate increase
to the business and profits of the road. When
completed through to the Mississippi, where it
can have the advantage of trade both Nor.h
and South on the river, and the interior trade
of the Northern portion of Iowa and the South
!
to believe. that it will be the best paying roae
in the country, or the world This is saying {
great deal; but who can say less'
Let this road be completed and what' but :
prohbitory act of the Legislature, is going e
prevent the company from extending the roat
West into Iowa. By that tiime, the waste land
will have become settled and improved, and
will be impossible to withstand the Temptation
IF iorcing road West, in order the more Ger
tarly to secure this trade.
Let Us be confnrted then, with the assuranc
that we are to have road; if not by tie aid G
