o. The Washington Uuion, in m edito-
rial article on the position of the democratic
party on the slavery question, uses the fol.
lowing languages "1'hat no party embracing
members at the North and South can be nd-
t,onal or harmonious in its organisation ,ohich
does not exclude The question Of slavery from
its Greet" For n wonder, the Washington
Union has, in this instance, told the truth
The democratic party is just rs unsound and
unreliable MS any other party North; equally
untrue to the property rights of the South
We would perpetrate n great wrong it we
were to state that any of the old parties were
sound Oh the slavery question. They have
not been for many years; and hence the. ne.
cessity for building up new party, upon the
runs of the old parties, that will accord to
the South all the rights guaranteed to her by
the constitution and laws. If this attempt is
unsuccessful--if it has not the sympathy and
support Of the Union men, North and South
the hopes which centre in the preservation
of the Union nre vain! The glorious heritage
must pass into the hands Of the Goths.-

may call into requisiuon his breathing
ful garb of burning eloquence; the orator
may SUNNI N to his AID ,he force OF that

The Rdnas- Of yesterday ahounds with
articles, editorial aud communicated, in re-
spect to The election on Maaday. In CLAN
cling over its columns we find very little cal
culaied to have any influence on the result
in our couaty. The repeated charge OF
Know Nota:agism made by that paper on
the ticket nominated aud to be sustained
by the Temperance party of Scott county,
is simply absurd, and We trust every TEN
perance man has made himself sufficiently

for MA To 5, question the Intelligence o.
their fellows as to presume that they can

THE ISSUE.

which We hope ihe vp'ersofseoU eoan,, viii so, iose

Mr. EpsToR:
Dear Sill agree with you
in the sentiment expressed in the above
paragraph but differ from you in its apph-
cation. 1t cannot il seems to me be the
question Of Temperance tina, is involved in
the present contest, if both tickers present
the names of temperance men and friends
of the Maine Law. The admission that
both have such tickets is a virtual denial
that Temperance is the issue. In polti-
cal campaign where the parties engaged,
nominate those Of well known Democratic
principles to assert that Democracy is the
issue would BE- regarded as absurd. 1t 10
equally so in the present instance. The
issue then in this contest eontemplates
other objects, whether for the honor and
the emouments of office, or from an
tipathy 10 particular candidates, or wheth-
it be strife betweenthe "Grand Mas
tiers" OF the wires or opposition 10
secret societies controlling the politics
Of the country, the Issue may be either
or all of these or something else bat
certainly it is not Temperance. The most
that can with truth be said in arimadverting
upon the temperance propensi,ies Of the op-
position is that the one ticket contains the
names of those who claim to be the regu-
lars, the other does aot-the one the regn-
lar nominees OF secret society in Daven.
port, the other OF those who do not wish to
be politically controlled by such socie,ies-the
one composed of those who wish TO acquire
political pre-eminenee by a society which
works in the dark--it touches certain secret
springs and its nominees are indorsed by a
Conyention-;he other of those who desire
to obtain office by direct appeal TO the
confidence of their fellow citizens. Which
Of these do you candidly think, Mr. Editor
pursue the most manly course, the most
truly Americanl For myself have no hes
itation in answering. Yours truly,

Before you bow to lady in the street,

or no, BY a, least look of recognition
Excuse my glove, is an unnecessary apol-

Mr.. Ep,ron:

| see from q communiea
ton in your paper this morning, that others
besides myself are dissatisfied with the very
unequal expenditure Of the public money
aud labor in the Corporation. No doubt
most OF our citizens, in attention to public
matters, have neglected TO look to public
improvements, and this appears to be taken
advantage Of the "few who seem to have
assumed the dire ction of the work for the
street commissioner" The injustice Of
these dctators was forcibly impressed on
my mind yesterday, by the mud on my boots
and pants, in passing along 4th street be-
tween Main and Brady SITS, and my feet as
well as my spirits were damped in wadlng
through End street, between Rock Island
street and Allings lumber yard. Shall
thes things bel Shall 10000 intelligent
peopl, submit TO have their money forced
from them in the shape of enormous taxes
10 be expended in cutting astreet out ofthe
bluff because certain men have buli. houses
there. while the streets in the city proper. are
are in ashamefulandalmostim condl-
ton whenever we have shower ofrain! am
told that only 500 have been appropriated
to the improvement OF 7th street at It's juno
ton with Brady ST., if SO why does our
Street Commissioner borrow $1,000 at
per CEN per month to pay his men money
due them up to this time Where has the
money beer expended 1t is only right
that the people should know. or perhaps
some of your readers can give some intor-
nation on the subject.
