in supporting Gen Jones fo- the Senate. Tn

4 Iowa Cry, Dec 8, 1852.
The people Of Jackson Coauty viii be no
only surprised, but Indignant wien they h, ar
now inform them, that Dr. Sales in the Gen
/ aral Assembly feels warranted in voting 70
/ Gen. Jones for United States Senator becaus'
some thirty persons at Anamosa, including
wings and democrats, expressed preference fo
| Gen. Jones, and when no notice was given t.
those who were known to be Of different opi
Mon, or to those who favored anothe r candida. .e
that an expression of opinion was sough
| for.
The surprise with which the people of Jack.
that Dr.. Sayles voted tor Gen. Jones, will no
BE- more sudden and Overwhelming in our hum
BILE opinion, than. to learn that the two inmedi
ate representa- atives threw away their votes upor
| a man, who stood about as much chance for The
Senate, as he now stands for an embassy to tht
court of ST. James If we have any correc
idea of the popular sentiment IN Jackson CO.
it is more favorable to Jones, than to any Other
man named in connection with The Senatorshp
and as one illustration Of the fact, we point t.
the reputation of Dorr in that county as dem
ocratc editor.
1t would seem then, that so far from DR.. Say
les having misrepresented the views of Jackson
&C , in supporting Gen. Jones for the Senate
he has taken prec ,ely the course to refec tither
wishes.
So far as opportunities have teen presented
for obtaining the popular sense in Jones CO Geo
w. Jones has beat every other competitor ten
to one, and it may not be out of place, here to
remind the Iowa City correspondent that the
meeting held at Ansmosa, of which he COM
plains was meeting brought about by the
friends of Judge Clark, consisting ofitwo in nura
Der. and they certainly did receive notice of the
meeting.
Now, the long and short OF this whole matter
is Just here-Geo. w. Jones was emphaticaIly
the choice of large majority of the democracy
of the North and centre, and it is perfectly flu
tile for the enemies of that gentleman to attempt
by humbug denuncatipn, to disguise and cover
it up The matter was well understood before
the meeting Of the Legislature and has been
most signally confirmed since.
Taking up the Burlington Telegraph of the
25th inst, we were astonished to find in that
journal whole sale charge, against the demo
cratic portion of the Legislature, of 'bri6ery and
corruption, in supporting Gen Jones for the
Senate Knowing the man Morgan as we'd as
1l,y
makes up an opinion and the causes which inn
pell hun to act, we we're by no means surprised
at his course of blackguardsm towards Gen
Jones, prior to his election and during the pen
dency of his nomination but after the matter
had been fairly settled by the known usages OF
the democratic party and received solemn ie-
gisIative sanction, for this degenerate deg to
still persist in his course of folly and sef.tsAaess
by assailing as corrupt the entire democratic
party of Iowa, is what we were not prepared tor
and what we feel pursuaded the democratic par
ty will not brook in silence. What meat has
this modern Caesor been feeding upon, that he
can rise up phoenix like. and with one single
dash Of his grey goose quill, change the dcsti-
nies of the democratic party Of Iowa, and If
needs be, obiterate it, soul and body, from the
face of the green earth What mighty deeds
has he achieved, in science or art, literature or
morals that he should come forward and com-
mand the benlchted multitude to fall down and
worship him as the political st Paul of this
day and generation Has the democracy Of
Iowa no higher destiny to fulfill, than to be the
wiling instrument Ct such political chariatan
ism, as we find daily illustrated in his character;
The school at which this genius was bred must
be strange one, if to constitute political lea
Ger, It only requires to assail with missiles Of
every form and character, the fair fame OF some
prominent man, to scandalize the character o
honorable cotemporaries and denounce with bri
berry and corruption the entire democratic por
ton of the Legislature of Iowa. We had sup
Posed that leaders were made up from honest
and discrete men and not from village praters
and half grown asses.
There is one beautiful inconsistency connec-
ted with Morgan's disquisitions upon Jones ir
b paper of the 25th. I'm his leader he labors
mlnfully to prove that there is TOO much SOUND
sense and integrity in the democratic portion o
,he L gislature to sanction the election of Jones
and vet IN the next column he assais the mem
bers of the Legislature with bribery and corrup
tion-Cfines which have not a parallel in The
known history of Legislation. And who is i
that has the boldness to bring such aceusation
against the democratic party of Iowa? Why
| no less parsonage than the reritabie James M
Morgan all the way from Ohio. who sets him
self up as the model democrat Of Iowa. There
was time we freely confess, when we though
this Mr. Morgan some pumpkins as demo
crat, bu: he has treated the democratic party 81
much worse than his iHustrious namesake treat
ed venerable institution and in all the popula
vices of the day, has so completely outstrppe'
the Devil, his father, that we look upon him
the merest dung hill fowl that ever scratched
and are led to distrust him as we would th'
meanest knight Of the Coop that ever suppress
ed the breathing of poor chicken at the dea
| hour of knight The time has come, when III
popular delusion, that the road to grea,nes
consists, in the lngratitude of recklessly assail
ing and villfying the reputation of those VIII
are superior to US, must be suppressed. 9th
erwse the honest and unsuspecting masses vii
have no guarantee, that they will not be mad
slaves to the mad ambition Of such bra,oting
senseless, sycophantie, puppies, as Morgan |
the Devil owed a debt which was to be cancell
ed in liars and it requires thousand to satisf.
the claim and the party would not take Motga
for the debt, we should say that he lacked on
very essential qualification to constitute goo
business man. and that is, that he did no. know
when he had the best end of the bargain. Th
democracy Of Iowa have had enough of this Mr.
Morgan Justice to the party and common de
cency to the community at large require that h
should be set aside as thing that once was, bu
now alas is no more.
This pusylanimous puppy aud infamous IN
crate has gone far enough with his unicense
blackruardism of the democratic party. 'I'h
party owes it to itself to repudiate and discoun
tenance him, for he has proved himself total
unworthy of its confidence or countenance. =
