Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1856-11-28

oess democratic newspapers in the
United States, aud il also equals any
VI Its contemporaries in New York City
in its Money, Stock, and Market re-
ports which are always full, accurate
and reliable. II has nineteen columns
Of reading matter, and the best collec-
ton Of miscellany of any political pa
per in the Union. We like it for one
thing, it cuts Bennett with Toledo
Blade. II is a perpetual thorn in the
patrid flesh of that great villain. II
exposes his big and little vilainies
without stint Of measure, and is fast
undermining the circulation Of the
Herald both in and out Of New York
City. II makes Bennett the victim oi
cruel exposure, holds him up before
the amazed world in all his hideous-
ness, turns him now this side and now
that, showing complete mass of NOR
81 putridity, offensive to the senses Of
every honest person At frs, Bennett
made light Of these exposures, but his
smllcs gradually changed TO grinaccs
IN which pain evidently was the pre-
dominent emotion, and now that moral
leper turns at bay like hunted ani
NAL and seeks to defend his indciensi-
bic life aud character against his per-
sIstent assailants.
As a specimen OF the roasting aud
blistering which the News gives Ben
nett we quote the following from the
paper OF the 2oth Instant,
Bennett is so ambitious of no,"ri,'ty
that we doubt not he would willingly
be hauled up TO the limb OF !. tree aud
suspended between Heaven aud earth
Ia Ned Buntline for short time,
just for the sake Of talking Of himself,
and extolling the pleasant sensation OF
hanging. lie may yet experience the
sensation, but when that time arrives
we apprehend we shall no, be gratlhcd
with his. own account Of the scene. To
follow this prince Of humbug> and ~
ing monster would be like tracking the
serpent's trail through the dewy grass
the first sunbeam ohiil"ia,es the
track Of the reptile. So with l'rnnrtt.
lie wandcrs about through MAJ oi
falschood, lifts his bra2cn ia.r iud
head TO spy out some imaginary sc'..'"
or to strike his poisonous taugs INTO
some one whom he would fam make IA
victim OF, but driven from his object
by the bright sun light ottruth, he re-
tires, but covers his retreat with some
other ridiculous lie, more u,oustrvns
than the first.
For week II more alter hr and lis

he would Law before his readers day
after day the mos, scnselc,s twaddle
and nonsense ever devised hy any man
out OF Bcdlam. lie would tender adj
vice to Mr. Buchanan, as though lac
WAS bosom friend. completely igno-
ring the fact tina, hut few weeks pre-
vious he WAS heaping upon that mans
head the most villainous and disgusting
Islander that even he, covered with
filth and nlcerous lies A. he is. could
not read in his own vile sheet without
shudder.
Tired Of Cabinet making, he now re
sorts to Union breaking. F"ieI in
his attemp, at this business III the de-
feat Of his Abolition and Secession
party, his daily struggle now is to
throw together mass of extracts from
speeches never delivered, hodge
podge Of nonsense throughout, with
the names Of gentlemen Of note and
character attached, and then warn the
public against the measures and men
thus introduced to his readers. Yes
terday he was on some grand tiiiabus-
tering scheme which he pretends to
fancy is being concoctcl. Secretary
Davis is seized upon and held up be
fore the world, BY this mscreant, AS
the grand concoctor OF and at the bot
torn Of this latest movement. lie talks
glibly Of Cuba and the Ostcnd Confer
ence Of Nicaragua and the powers of
Europe; Of Hayti and Louis Napoleon

jects Of the Dukeof Argyle tod bless

In truth, he seems quite As DESTROYS
Of worming himself into the embraces
Of Mr.. Buchanan rs he WAS into those
Of Fremont; and the probability is, he
would serve the first equally well, and
for much less pay, than he did the lat
ter.
Such miserable stuff as daily appears
in that sheet is indeed disgusting, and
how sensible and intelligent commu-
nity can be found to swallow the dose
day after day, passes our understand
ing; but 90 it is, and as he seems new
er tired Of displaying his own folly and
revelling in his own contradictions, so
portion Of the public never fatigue of
reading his nonsense and nastincss.-
Void Of honor and character, he rs
sames to be an organ Of public opinion;
without decency, he assumes to be a
promoter Of public taste aud morality;
without honesty, he assumes to be the
