In one week from mex, Tuesday the
great Presidential Contest Of 1852. des-
tined 10 be a memorable one, for good or
for il. To our country, will be decided
The Parties with their Csndidates and
,heir principles are before the Country.
II has been our design to present fairly
snd candidly before the people-Demo.
Gratis and Whigs-ihe voters to whom
we have access, The true principles oil
our government; those cardinal princi-
Piles of the Wing Party, upon which we
believe the interests. and the prosperity
Of the Country depend. We can say
but lille more. The time for argu men,
has almost past; the time for the deci-
sion, the verdic, draws near.
We would however, review some OF
the issues involved in this canvass-and
examine some Of the extraordinary de-
cIaraIions and professions Of the party
to whom we are opposeed,-in order
that the voters of Iowa may see in the
ligh, of truth and history, which party
is bes, entitled TO their SURFACES. We
would speak as reasonable men to reas-
enable men; we would appeal to no
mans prejudice. but TO all mems judge.
ment: we desire no other arbiier between
US and our &C yersariest than that history
which is the common depository of the
principles Of the political parties of our
country. Let Us briefly at this las. mo-
men. appeal TO that arbiter. and let its
voice be heard and respected.
The Democratic party so called, are a
party of vast ~pretensions. In their par.
~ organs. and from their party leaders
we are constantly reminded that they
contain and embody all the virtue, hon
es,y. consistency and all the political
principles which are necessary to the sal
walton and preservation of the Union
and the prosperity of the country; tina
their principles have never changed, bu
tina, they have been like the laws of ,ht
Medes and Pereians, the same yesterday
to-day, and forever; while the Wing Par
~ has no principles; that their principles
are Of an exceedingly odious character
and tina, they have been compelled 10 a
bandon all The principles they ever advo
Gated. They are prolific in the use o
hard names; no efns are loo severe |,
be applied TO the Wings; they are the au
ihors ot every unpopular measure eve
broached. They claim Jefferson as III,
Father Of Democracy; claim boldly INA
they have been the authors Of all In
Wars anG have fought all the battles O
the couniry.-while The Wings have op
posed all the Wars, done none Of tn

FEDERALISM.
The Democrats Of this day use the
term Federalist. as n of ~reproach.-
They say the Wings ATE Federalisss.
and they Anti Federalis,s. Now. Fed.
~eralis,s were those who were in favor of
the Federal. our present glorious Constr
tuition, and the Anti Federallsts were
those who opposed it.
Washington himself was a Federalisi,
so was Madison and all the worthless OF
The Revolution. Modern Democrats
thus make themselves out the descend.
ents of a party tina, opposed u ad.
mirable Constitution. the palladium of
our liberties aud the hope of Freedom
throughout the world.
THE WAX OF 1912.
The Democrats are mean aud reckless
enough to pretend tina. the Wing party
have opposed all the wars Of the country,
anc that they opposed the war Of 1912.
This is cool decidedly. Gen. Dodge,

With Heavenly Truth the rails are laid,
From Earth TO Heaven the line extends
To Life Eternal where it ends.
dependence is the station then
Where passengers are taken in,
No fee for them is there TO pay
For Jesus is himself the Way.
The Bible then, is Engineer,
II points the way TO Heaven so clear.
Through tunnels dark and dreary here
1t does the way TO Glory steer.
Gods Love the Fire, His Truth the Steam,
Which drives the engine and the train,
All you who would to Glory ride
Must come to Christ in him abide.
In first and second and third class,
Repentance, Faith and Holiness,

Or you with Christ can never reign.
Come, then, poor sinners nows the time,
AT any place along the line
IT you repent, and turn from sin
The train will stop and take yon in.
