Yakked. g sashsautiisi dsguereaass' We
cannot think there are many Of that sinister
school Of politics in our State, and il7Joe
Williams be fair sample. We hope he IN
corporates the whole. OF him the n T.
Herald saxs AR. Williams being OF irish
descent a. .testifoA -even without his con
fessiso1 ~ sAat rich brosua.' has Family
quarrel with tho Know Nothings and took
the opportunity last evening 20 indulge The
ssh nh prote ssion q his sentiments on
tie ssbjecs showing pretty plainly ths.
to-. is msre backward in respect Of poiit-
cst infornalion than is generally suppos-
ed
Now we utterly protest TO anything that
J@ Niilisms may have 10 say being taken
as fair representation. OF ,the people OF
lpNA. They repudiate him wherever known
and nowhere more severely than at his
ssae. The Tribune does injustice toJudge
Williams in the condensed Report given Of
his speech. It should have said, ''he had
hvea II years commencing among the In
dams, the true Native Americans etc,
making material difference.
As ehave Williams speech in full b.
fore Us, We viii make few. extracts froai
IL The. following proves that the Judge,
humiliatng as is the confession, is obliged
to sdmit that Democracy" is now but a
nsne - So
awe have fallen, fellow-citzens, on
sTaage times. There was time that
when the word democrat or democracy
Nh mentioned. it was understood and APP
pecsseef. Tha. time has but recently
runs by.. And now we find these princi-
rss-which under the administration of 4
JeHerson overcame all the centraiizing
principles OF 4 HaGilton-thrown over
BOARD We find the glorious fundamental
priascspies on. v HIGH the government has
Seen administered MP to this time utterly
g1ossd and abjured.''
The most or the Judges speech. Of course,
consists OF anecdotes, which, as we have
pablished them before, we omit. we give
sasehsr extract in which it will be perceiy-
ed that the Judge is obliged TO admit an
other fact and that is, that Temperance is
the worst foe that the -Democracy" have to
dread
.God Almighty, who stands at the back
of democratic principles, viii favor us.
(Laughter.) Tie Know Nothings call
themselves SO because they wish TO know
nothing of the declaration of God about
mans Tor lie is no respecter Of persons,
For seventeen years Iowa was democratic
But the, temperance men came about and
there.was no respect Of persons with them;
for they were against people voting for those
who drank liquor"
We now leave the Judge ia HE blasphe-
my, suppressing his obscenity, and turn to
ano,her character. The Hon. George
Washington Jones, though invited, could
not attend; he did not wish to risk his per
son in such crowd, although the measure
sf the Judges appellation, ''beautiful da-
guefreans,. would have been complete y
filled in bis person. In lieu of his presence
unlike Gen Cass, he sent voiuminous
letter, half the length of Williams speech
His epistie consists mainly Of an attack up
on e~"Know yothiags," and lac avow.
rsats we ssare approaching crisis in the
history or politics in the republic" Blu
we-ierve-generutities and merely refer t.
closing paragraph, which We extract
an Iowa--virorous, patriotic, beautiful
Young Iowa-the democracy have just pass
ed through fierce struggle with thereon
bined force. Of the opposition; and though
we wers partially defeated, suffering on
greatest Toss IN being deprived of the ser
vices enf our gallant Dodge in the United
State. Senate, vet We have the satisfaction
OF Knowing that we went into and came ON
Of that contest democrats, having compFo-
missed no principle Of our party creed, q
Welded a single issue made with our oppo-
nsnts in times past: and the heart Of Iowa
10 to-day as soundIy and warmly democratic
as eyer, and beats as prompt response u
the duty and devotion she owes to the

Az the contest in Iowa was upon the Ne
5raska and Temperance questions, as they
Constituted the sole issues in that canvass
and as Ant-Nebraska and Temperance
principles prevailed, the above commits
every voter who sustained those principles
against that faction now termed the sDem.

conclusion we give one OF the resolu,
tons passed n this gathering, which after
all may have been Of the Fillibustering or
