NIGHTS, turned out to bury that ubiquitous ndi.
vidual, SAM. We never heard of one little fellow
needing so many funerals. Not long ago they
had him cafned and labelled and requiescat in

Giant Killer, is up and has given his Sag NIGHT
mourners such ascare, that they all run and got mp
q big Vale in Yazoo City, and buried him over
again. But we tell you he is not dead, neither
Is he asleep. He will be alive and kicking next
Tuesday, and will have to be buried over again.

to bury SAM every day, and yet he will whip
them all yet.

To the citizens Of Iowa.

Believing that large majority of the citi
zens Of iowa are opposed to the Political priv
ciples Of the present Administration, and to the
introduction of slavery into territory now free,
and also that made free by the Compromise Of
1920; aud that the party styling itself the Dem
ocnatic Party" are striving to make slavery a
great national institution, contrary to the prin-
ciples laid down in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution as taught by the
Fathers Of theRepnblic; we would call upon
all such free citizens to meet in Convention, at
Iowa City, on the 22d day Of February for the
purpose Of organizing Republican party al
ready formed in several Of the other States OF
the Union. .-..
