Of congressional popular sovereignty
The Democratic approximation Congress strong IL is
in support Of these principles Is fully sustained BY The
voice Of the press and the expressions Of public

THE ELECTION In I0wA-A VOICE FROM THE
NORTHWEST

The election in Iowa came on on the 81 instant The
only State officer 10 be elected BY he popular vote was
superintendent Of public instraconor which onioe the
democracy in regular convention nominated Dr. James ID
Esds of Fort Msdson The wings held Convention, and
made nominations for State officers he at the coming
August election but left the superintendent Of public in
structon blank in their ticket with the understanding
that DR. shedd sbolitonis and lately the
date Of that party for Congress in Mr. Henns district
should Independent candidate, and should
ceiye the wing support Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of ,hs wing convention, DR. Shedd announced him
self candidate; but portion Of the national wings re-
monstratng he was induced to decline and make room
ous to the national wings, and who they anticipated
could unite the abolitionsts and MaineAw men OF the
State besides he preacher Of the Gospel, and was
expected that account to carry many democrats OF his
own sect with him.
In addition to this the wings had at their recent State con-
ycnon violently denounced the Nebraska BILL and refused
10 receive or resolutions endorsing the late wing
national platform The wing press throughout the State
without single exception have been most bitterly oppo
sing the Neorska BILL and the Of the Iowa senators
in voting for it On the other hand nearly all the demo-
cratic papers in the State taken bold grounds in favor
Of that bill and the principles Of non-iniervenon
And what is the result? Why, instead Of the usual
democratic majority Of 1900 1000 Dr. Eads the demo-
cratic candidate is elected by from 27oo to 3,5oo
The following table from the Lee County Pandealer Of
