Whaea farce the leaders of the Dem
ocraric party Of Iowa are playing! frs.
here, then there, and generally no where
at all. To-day for one principle to-
morrow agains, il! One Conventions
passes resolution in favor Of something
which is cardinal principle of the DEM
ocra,ic faith. The next convention as
sembled kicks the platform OF the firsE
all into "eocked hiatt" In all Of their
conventions they pass resolutions reaf.
tirming the platform of the Baltimore
Convention, which denounced all agita-
t,on OF the slavery question; and at the
same time pass resolutions endorsing the
repeal of the Missouri, Compromise,
which has caused one of moot bitter
and unrelenting slavery excitemenis that
has ever swep, over our country. The
Charlton Convention passed resolution
asserting rotation in office To b. q demo-
cratic principle of fundamental stamp.
The members of that same convention
turn right about and work like slaves tn
secure the reelection of A. G. Dodge
10 the Senate. The State convention
declared that the calling of convention
TO amend tho Constitution was not DEM
ocra,ic, and endorsed Gov. Hampstead )
vetoes of the bills submitting that ques-
ton TO the people; the late Charlton con-
venlion passed asresolution directly the
reverse. The democratic convention y
this county declared that the repeal OF
the Missouri Compromise was no. test
of mans democracy; the Charlton
Convention declared that it was a part
of The great democratic faith. The DEM
ocratic journals profess to hold the doc.
trine that every man should vote accord.
ing TO the dictates of bis own judgment,
but they are awfuIiy shocked al the idea
that Free soilers should vote for Mr..
Grimes. They denounce tie Wing par
ty of this state for letting the Free-soll.
ers vote for any of the candidates on the
Wing ticket, and call the Freesoilers
traitors to their cause for doing so; but
they laud TO the skies coalition between
the Democracy and Freesoilers IN New
Y ork and Massachusetts. The Demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives in
Congress claim that Iowa is opposed 10
the extension of slavery; but cast their
votes for slavery extension. These
same Senators profess 10 be great friends
to our foreign population; but they cas-,
their votes against permitting foreigner
to vote in the territories of Nebraska and
Kansas. So THEY 60. here and there,
and every where! Their tactics for the
coming Congress are clap. trap, pel nell.
hurry burly. anything 10 get the favor of
the people. Not single principle ex
they stand up to manfully; accuse them
of being in favor OF any particular prin
ciple, they will swear before Gsd and
man that it is all Swing lie." They
canno, deceive the people any longer.
The time has now arrived when the
people will put power in the bands of
the Wing party because that party sup
ports its measures from principle, and
not merely for the sake of getting into
power Well nigh, member of the
democratic party exclaim: '.Let the
people getas mad as they Please. but for
Gods sake DON'T LET THEM LAUGH."-
No. don't let them laugh. for if they ever
commence laughing at the absurtllies Of
the democratic leaders, they will never
stop until they have the democratic party
on, of existence fairfield Ledger.
