THE CLAMORS CT POLITICIANS.

There has been great deal of sense, an,
quite as much nonsense, forced into the public
market, through the channel Of wlir prints
for the last.iew months, in relation to the Code
have cost an immense deal of time, labor ant
money to produce, and which, although not as
acceptable as they might be, are eminently
superior as rhoie, to anything we have ever
before had, has received the ind;scri,ninate con-
demnaion of the entire whig press and party
of this State and has heen for the last four
months, groaning under u weight of political
misaPprehension, slang, and siauder, sufficient
almost, to crush the best system that ever hu-
man wisdom and experience have Produced
Although the Code was in the hands Of the
Commissioners for long time and in fact, until
the people become quite clamorous for is pro.
duction and adoption although it was we'll un
derstood among both wings and democrats, who
gave it their joint support, that the people would
not be satisfied unless it was given to them du-
ring the,sesson of lS50and to do this, they must
pass it with but brief and rapid examination
of its merits ; although i. is the history of all
times and countries, that general system of
liws was ever adopted, but what experience
and use, have suggested and produced most
valuable and necessary Improvements although
one of the Commissioners, Mr.. Woodward,
who arranged and reported that very portion of
the Code, which is much objected to, was
in 1851 brought forward and supported by the
wings, for the highest office in the State; al
though John P. Cook, who was member of
the General Assembly, at the time the Code
was adonted, and approved and voted for it, is
now the .taror,tc candidate of the wings of tins
District, for Congress yet the universal whig
party Of Iowa, have the unbushns impudence |
% condemn the Code, as an impotent batch of
inconsistencies and absurdties, ridiculous in
'recept and oppressvely odious in practice and
lenounce the democratic party as it's natural
md legitimate parent. If our opponents would
present the question as it ought to be presented,
hat is, comparison of the old, with the new
ystem, we should feel no hesitancy whatever,
n acknowledging the Code, as a democratic
'fspring, which will live and thrive
This is properly the comparison which should
lways be made.
The great trouble in all this business is, that
he people are too ready to adopt the political
Tap trap of whig journalists and condemn the
Code without giving it pcrusal. We sincerely
,elieve, that there are hundreds of persons in
he State, who have passed an indscrmnate
entence of condemnation upon the Code, with
'ut ever having looked inside Of its lids.
This we humbly submit, is not the way to
ettle question of This magnitude.
A code Of laws for the government of peo
lie, is thing which should not be changed for
lght and trivial causes.
