Believing that a large majority of the citi
xens of lows are opposed to the political pria-
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
ocratic Party" are striving to make slavery a
great national institution, contraryto the prin-
ciples laid down in the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution as taught by the
Fathers of the Republic; 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 a Republican party al
ready formed in several Of the other States of
