CORRECT YOUR BLUNDEKS GEN
TLEMEN

Both the whig contemporaries in town, have
been felicitatng themselves upon the conver-
sion to whggery of democratic editor in Jones
county, one Haddock, the editor of the Ana
mosa News g aohiiom democratic paper
Now, it will probably be news to these gen.
tlemen to learp that Mr. Haddock has never
published democratic paper in Jones county
and that he has never pretended to publish such
paper. The +" Anamosa News" was intro
duced to the public as neutral paper and has
never to our knowledge changed its character
1t is true that its editor gave out verbally
and Prirat ely in the first starting of his paper
that he inc lined to the democratic side of poll
Tics, but this was owing no doubt to the fact,
that, the democracy predominated in Jones
and the chances for publisher with democratic
affinities would be better than one synpathislng
with the opposition party. This opinion has
been streng thened no doubt, by the fact, that
the democratic party of that county two years
ago, to rescue the man from starvation, took
him up and elected him Prosecuting Attorney,
although notoriously incompetent for the place
At the recent democratic convention in that
county he was a candidate for re nomination to
the same post, and because the democracy
would not encourage the ambition and vaniry
the man and thereby sacrifice the pride Of the
party and the interests Of the county by giving
him nomination, ne became indignant and
has united with the wings aud monsres of that
county 10 defeat if possible the democratic
ticket.
To show that this man is no democrat, Il is |
only necessary to allude to an article in his
paper Of some weeks since, wherein he defined
his position as having voted as often for wings,
As democrats
The fact is, this editor il rank Aboltionist
and according to the best information to be had I
upon the subject, has been from his childhood
lr and therefore cannot have any sympathy
with the democratic party.
The sooner the party in that county exposes
ais true character and turns HIM over to The ten
ter mere IS Of tie oppes ton, the better will i,
be for himself and for all parties.

doubt whether there is in the history ofany other
British noblenan an incident of such a gener-
Gus and chivalrous character as his sacrlhces
for the benefit of his fathers creditors. His

Montreal Herald says, his career has been
highly useful aud honorable one and as Chair
man of one of the great Railway Companies in

much needed in Canada at the present time.

able audience, at the Pacific House, ON Wednesday

than he found between Pugets Sound and the valley

upon this important and Interesting subject. The
people Of Western Iowa and Nebraska should be
wide awake to their interests In this great road The
desertOn of the north rOnte and the support OF this
route by these Western Territories, will add great
weight in Congress, and with the business world, in
favor Of this Platte Valley route. The fact is, we
never could believe any other route to be half as
practicable this, and the Colonel's report, from
sn eminent, intelligent, and skilled engineer, con-
firms us in our previous opinions.
