THE IOWA DEMOCRACY ARER!GH1
. When we published the resolutions of our LAT
democratic State Convention we promised at
future time, some remarks upon them Tn
present perhaps is as favorable oppor unit
as 'ge could embrace, for expressing our entir
ap rotation and cordial support of those resolu
n tons. They sustain the Baltimore democrati
h platform Of 1852 and the administration of Gen
+ Pierce. 1t is not cold support which ,bes
: resolutions yield 1t IS warm ardent and sin
!, cere-such as mi ght b., expected from reliab
5 ard patriotic democracy. In certain quarier
u : effort has been made TO identify the demo

VISIONS Of New York and to hold up t. censurt
Cabinet advisers, bu, it has sIgnaiy failed :
The Presid' nj has received the warm commcn-

state Conventions that ever assembled in lows

II receives the cordial support Of one democrat
if state. We believe il has been and is rirht in

same thing aud believing it, ITS members had the
courage and magnan'mity TO proclaim Their
belief to The world. We hail thus fact Ia

democracy of Iowa have shown themselves true
to their fai,h-consis,ent with their oft repeated
professions of adherence to the Baltimore plat
form Of 1So2-jus. to the claims of party-deaf
to the appeals of fac,ion-and above the reach
| of timc-serriag spous hunters, who would be-
tray them into position of hostility to the adj
ministration and the party.
We honor them for their course and we feel
honored that we can claim to he one of s, faith
lul band. From the unanmity with which
the several County Conventions expressed their
appreciation of the policy and course Of the adj
ministration we had right 10 expect just this
much from the state Convention and we are re-
joiced that We have not been disappointed.
A good deal of unnecessary noise has been
made in certain quarters hostile to the Delega-
ton in Congress, because the Convention did
not pass resolutions expressing commentator
of their course as public servants and fiithfu
guardians OF the interests of the state. II has
been asserted that such re solutions were offered
and laid on the table and that this was a con.
demnation OF their course. This we may be
permitted to state is not the fact Resolutions
of this character were Offered and declared by
the President of the Convention passed bu, as
a division upon them was -cafiea fay and some
what bitter feeling was likely TO grow out of
their discussion, De- Harvey, the mover very
prudently withdrew them, expressing at the

cling, or contributing to the slightest discord,
which IN ght tend directly, remotely to en-
danger the success of the ticket which had just
teen nominated. We have converscd with
many who were presen, at, and participated in
the Convention and we have received letters
froG many others, and they all unite in saying
that the resolutions, had there been any dspo
sition to press them, would have passed by a
respectable majority. 10 clearly establish the
truth OF this it is only necessary TO refer to the
resolutions passed at the different County Con
ventions. Almost every County Convention in
the State, approved by resolutions of the course
Of the delegation. This should effcc.ualy
place seal upon the mouths of those, who are
endravorln! 10 misreprasent the action Of the
Convention.
AS to the candidates, they good and true
men-reable democrats and capable Curtis
Bates Esq, of Polk County, the candidate for
Governor is a man of sound judgment and un.
exceptionable character, lawyer of superior
legal attainments, politician whose alb lity and
consistency has been tested in the Legislature
of Ohio aud in the Constitutional Convention of
this state, and democrat of the oden time.--
with one accord, who will discharge the duties
of the office, if elected, ntellgen,Iy and faith
fully, and whose administration will be alike an
honor TO the party and the state. For him we
yield our most cordial and ardent support.
Geo. w. McCleary, the candidate for Secre
tary of State, is too well and tavorably known
as faithful and indeiatgaole public officer, ami
a man of elevated moral and political character,
to require any eulogy at our hands, or be bene-
fled by any thing that we might say.
Martin L. Morris, the candidate for State
Treasurer, is the old incumbent, and it is only
necessary to look at his grand b1taace sheet of
| fran H., g,iI,,
cannot find truer man, in whose correct judg-
ment and close habits of Business, we may with
greater confidence and security rely
J. l.. Sharp, the candidate for Auditor, is from
the Missouri district, emphatically Western
man. who has been thoroughly jo,tled and
kuffed about during a residence of some twenty
| FIVE years in the West, that his nature partakes
of his name and he has become intimately ac-
quainted with the practical workings of bust.
ness He is over Fifty years of age, the HON.
hest man in the state, has served efficiently in
both the Legisla ure of Illinois and Iowa, is a
man of superior shrewdness and intelligence
and will make, if elected, most capital Auditor
of accounts
! David G. Cloud, the candidate for Attorney
General, we have not the pleasure Of being ac.
quain,ed with but filling the office at the present
time and having entire confidence in the repre-.
sentatives of the democracy who bestowed a
re nomination upon him, we feel entirely salts.
fled that his nomination is good one and will
be warmly supported by the democracy.
DR. James DR.. Eads, of Fort Madison, the
candidate for Superintendent of Public lnstruc.
tion, is pronounced by those who know him in.
timately, to be emnently fitted for this impor.
tant and responsible station.
Taking the candidates all in all, we think
them as good, as could have been selectt in the
state and we intend to give them a warm and
active support. We hope the democracy will
do the same thing.
