Fourth OF JULY AMONG THE NoRMoxs -
On the Fourth of July, the citizens Of Salt
Lake had grand celebration. The following
toasts were drank:
Ulaa-The fairest daughter Of Uncle Sam,
the first in the annals Of American history,
governed by Prophet Of the Lord.
Utah-Among the las, though not least in
Uncle Sans family May she in virtue excel
and in time, among her fair sisters, enjoy a
happy union.
Mormonism-Born in poverty graded in
storms and reared in hurricanes, aoon't faint in
earthquakes.
Deseret-As che is exalted in altitude in the
tops Of the mountains, SO may she be in prin-
ciple, virtue ard power above the rest OF the
World. t

Who ever enjoyed to such degree, and 10 the

THE RESOLUTIONS AND ADDRESS
OF THE DEMOCRACY OF
nYInI.nltE

The resolutions aud address adopted BY the
democracy of Dubuque, IN Saturday evening
last, al Globe Hall, in honor Of the SIXTY sKv-
sxra anniversary of the adopt IN of the con-
stitution Of the United States, should be read
and treasured up by every democrat in the
Stale The resolutions are sound TO the core
and the address is ably and el"quently written
II gives condensed, yet torcible and accurate
history Of parties in the county; carefully
traces their course from the organization OF the
federal government TO the present time and
draws the comparison with a master hand, be-
tween the democratic party, sohering to its an
cient name, as ,enaciously as to its ever veneer
ate d principles and the old Federal party. stun
brrng in the iniquiy Of its principles, but
periodically rising by The s,inulous of new
masses, snatch the reigns Of g,v-rnment and
absorb the .poils Of office. II shows tina: the
tendency Of Federal doctrines has been t.
consolidate power in the general government at
the expense Of State sovereignty to give
loose and latitudiuarian construction to the CON
sti,ution To legsla,e for wealthy classes, that
they may provide for the masses; To enc"uIag-
monster corporations and monopnIies TO the in
icey If the industrial classes; and to sacrifice
every interest I the Country aud the country
itself, rather than democr tic principles shonl
prevail and the democra ic party should WELD
the powers OF the government. II does not ia !
10 no.e and coademn the last thick Of this party,
to build mp secret po'iiest organization, hav
ng for its obje,,, frs, the control of the gov
eminent; and second, legislative proscrip-
ton Of Foreigners and Cath lies. The kind
Ammunition extended e democrats, to beware
Of the insiduous influences sought TO be fast
ened upon them, should be carefully consid-
cred
The address and resolutions we have no doubt
will command the attention and esteem oil every
democrat and Ivy the foundation for a more
thorough organization Of the democratic party
in Dubuque, the Northern portion of Iowa and
the State generally. This result is to be de.
voutly wished.
