THE AGE Of RETURN
uNf

3 #
A Poster" for q Buchanan meeting
to be held at Oskaloosa, in speaking Of
the recent election in Pennsylvania,
makes use Of the above language. The
"Posser'' is right. The age of reason is
indeed returning. even in old Pennsylva-
MIA, the Gibralter of modern Dsmscra-
CIV.
There was q Tins when such men as
Franklin. Morris and Rush. men who
lad a love of liberty, and who cared
more for the substantial good of the
country than they did for party, were
the leaders of popular sentiment in Penn.
s~ylsenia, and when the principle Of JUS
,ice, truth, and genuine Republicsnism
were in The ascendant there. That was
The sge Of Reason. 1t was an age char
acterized by noble octs Of heroism, de-
votion TO liberty, and self sacrifice in ito
behalf. Right was triumphant.
But of late this age of reason has
been interrupted and in ms place there
has been an age OF delusion, wherein
innumerable false ideas Of justice and
right have been disseminated, and OBJ
tanned a temporary hold upor The minds
of the sturdy veomanry of The old Key
stone Stale. Devotion to patty, and a
party name has for a time misled them.
but a. las, ",he age of reason is returu.
ing The speed OF its advent is more
rapid than the most ~sanguine could have
hoped. The public sentiment Of Penn.
sylyania is not easily turned from a worn
chsnnel. There ia too much phIegm
there. But when once in The righ. di
rection lis progress is steady and unwa-
vering. So it is how. Last year the
cause of delusion triumpaed over the
cause Of reason; now the degree Of tina,
triumph is reduced to a mere nothing,
compared with what it has been.
Yes, the "Pos,er" is righs-ihe age
of reason is returning-it is almost here;
in November II will be fully and CON-
ple,ely upon Us. Crow ye Buccaneers,
while ye AN, your day is drawing nigh
unto its end.

NOMINATION FIT TO BE
MADE.

The nomination by the Buchanan De.
mocracy of Geo. Gillaspie al candidate
for the Constitutional Convention 10 one
in every way worthy of the principles Of
the Party, and consequently we are glad
he was Nominated. Mr.. Gillaspie 10
known 10 have avowed himself in favor
Of slavery ever in Iowa. We understand
his position to be abou, az follows. He
does not desire the State to be a slave
holding State as some Southern States
are, but he would be glad il Slavery were
q legalized Institution in the State so that
those who are able 10 do so. might hold
any number Of slaves, which matters OF
convenience nigh. dictate. Nj. Gillas-
pie is a man of wealth and would he a.
bic to hold slaves, and it might add to
bis personal comfort and convenience to
do so. for instance 10 " a "girl to cook
for him and a man to tend his horses"
but we very much doub. whether the
mecanics and farmers and day laborers
by v hom he is surrounded will take his
view of the subject and endorse his j.
IDEAS by casting their votes for him. We
have always understood tina, no man
could BE- a rue representative Of the peo-
pie unless his views on all subjects Of
public interest, and especially on a sub.
jsot Of such magnitude a. the effects of
slavery upon free labor; should sympa-
,hize with the views OF the people
And in this instance We do not appre.
bend that the people of Wapello county
will take any particular delight in eleva-
ting to Office any man who for the sake
of individual comfort and convenience
would desire TO have legalized an insti-
tuition which renders free labor both dis
reputable and Improbable. We
irus. in God the time ha, not JET come.
when the holding oil such views as these
is q recommendation for the snffrages OF
the people, although judging from the
pasti 10 impossible to tell 10 what degree
of Jelusion in regard to this subject Of
slavery the North will 60. They have
long since surrendered their moral and
political influence in this Nation, but we
cannot be brought to believe that they
will vote away the vestage which If yet
lief. of their Freedom. However we
shall Gee wha, we shall see. We confess
we are prepared for almost anything.
Be, this as it may, we repeat that we
are glad the nomination has been made.
We care not how soon the Democracy!
adopt the policy of nominating for Of

CT they get to the end of the rope the
