CURTIS BATES.

ltcan hardly be deemed necessary, in address
ing ourself to the democracy o. this state, 10
embark in .taiied history Of the lie Of this
gentleman. He is emphaticaliy one Of the pio-
neers Of the state. lie came here wh.n parties
hai no organization. He commenced his career
much To say. that the rapid growth aud devel-
op cent Of the resources Of this state, the unex
ampled prosperity which has crowned its brief
existence, freedom from the incubus Of heavy
debt and ex'ravag gan, legislation and the present
high position which it occupies before the coun
try, are due in an eminent degree to the sonna
discriminating judgment and honest labors o
such m. n as Curtis Bates, the present democra
tic candidate for Governor Wha' has given
this state a superiority over other Western
states, and Z rawn 40 of immigration to It
which has never been equallcd in the history Of,
the country, but the adoption of c''nsii'u'ion
c. naen,ai to the interests Of the masses and
proscriptive of spectators and monied corpora
lions What has placed this state above the
reach Of bnrdensome debt, taxation and an ex.
traviyant system Of internel improvement, such
as now curses the state Of Illinois with deb,
Of @7 400 600 but that clause in the ccnsi's-
ton, which says, that the state shall not its
credit to an amount exceeding one hundred
thousand dolIsrs. And will it be denied THAT
Mr.. Bates had much to d, with framing the con
sti,ntion and ENGRAVING upon it many Of its
most wholes ,rne provisions? No, surely not.
Then we submit, that it becomes the interest
of the voters oftsis state, to lend their best
efforts tn promote such q man 10 the Executive
chair. We present for your suffrages s"und.

politician, bu, who has uniformly remained in

tricky politician endorsed by the Abolitionists,
but where he is bes, known, al his home, failing

SLAVERY AND THE RELATIONS OF

l That every dictate IF our reason, every
sympathy of our hearts and every lie that binds
US to eur country and to God, leads us to de-
plore and protest against the recent action Of
our national governmen mt, in declaring the pro-

US imperative and VOID, and that we feel called
upon TO renew our testimony to the unmiigafcd
wickedness of American slavery, and to pledge
our strenuous efor.s for its suppression and
overthrow.

~ The Dubuque Express is down upon the
Congregational Association of Iowa for pass
ing temperance resolutions; il says it is med
ding with politics. That is the most contrary
paper we ever did see--iis always upbraiding
The Wings tor bringing temperance into poll
tics, but no soooer does a religious body refer
tn temperance than IT accuses it of Juggling po-
Iitics int" religion Il Davenport Gazette.
When the united Clergy of any particular
denomination in a state, adopts two resolutions
one recommending that rigorous Efforts be
msde for a prohibitory Hqaor lao in this State
and the oher pledging them to strenuous efforts
for the Suppression and ooerthroto Of american
siarery, we think it smells strongly OF politics.
This the Congreg ational Association Of Iowa
his done.
As proof Of j., we submit, the resolutions
which passed the body, at its recent session in
Davenport, and upon which our CT nnents
complained Of by the Gazette, were based

TEMPERANCE.

That taking deep interest in the cause
of Temperance, and believing a prohibitory

that vigorous eff'rts be made for the enactment
