with bad grace-they growl and grumble over it
-fguratvely speaking, they put out their tongues
and make faces-they show their teeth and talk
cross eyed-all of which is foolish, now that the
thing is over. We would advise our very respecta-
bic, but exceedingly venomous contemporaries OF the
Fayetteville Observer to beware, lest their poison
take effect upon themselves rather than others lhey

The defeat OF the gallant democracy of Iowa is
pretty well ascertained The causes are apparent
and unquestionable The wings took grounds against
that clause in the radical constitution of the Stale
prohibiting all banking in the State and made that
an ISSUE while they rallied the temperance ques-
ton with all their force. Of course, the Nebraska
bill was made the pretext of additional excitement,
although that element had less to do with the Can

Of this election the democracy of Iowa, sterny uni

generation from the influences which have carried
that State. The democracy of the Union will most
deeply regret the defeat of Senator A c. Dodge, OF
Iowa, who lost his reelection by the temporary de-
feat OF his political friends at home Rome never had
a nobler citizen. In the manliness and the courage
of his character the orthodoxy of his democracy and
the dsinteresedness of his whole career, he presents
an example for the imitation of public men. We
