liticians we conld name. Il says, 'scon-
trsry 70 our expectations, Iowa has gone
against Us. 1--WE did not expect this-ssr
are We surprised in view Of al things."
The editor must be in happy frame Of
mind, willing to take things as they come.
Again il says, I've believe there are eau
ses, why the Democratic ticket was de- |
fcated" Who doubts tina, there were
causes. They were d,se.tM because they |
are in minority. Tie people Of Iowa
do not believe that slave can BE- brought
into this State aud remain q slave, and
they would not stullify themselves BY vo-
tug the Democratic ticket. It says, "thc
hawk-eye State has done nobly, grandly,
heroically-,he BATH, has been fought
with surprising vigor. She deserves the
hearty corlia', free aud full thanks Of
the Democratic party throughout the
country" Then certainly the Democrats
did their duty; did all they could In
the language Of the Dubuque North West
''thcy made a noble effort-such as one
may be supposed to exert in throwing Of
some hideous blight, or to escape some
demoniacsl DREAM" aud yet, the Demo
crat coolly tells US that "with the exccp-
ton of the press, and few individuals,
(and they fought nobly) the Democracy
did not work US they might or should"
This is paying a sorry compliment to the
masses of their party, and assuming
great deal Of credit to themselves editori-
ally. Accounting for its defeat, it says:
"In the first place, the Democracy did
not make SO great an effort as the oppo-
sition," (then some of the statements
quoted above are untruc) 'they did not
lavish so much money as their oppo-
nents" And again it speaks of ga squan.

this State" And again, "the machina-
tons that have been rcsorted to are as
numerous as they are outrageous
Now, neighbor, please be little more
specific. 1t is easy to make wholesale
charges against IN enemy, but when cali
ed on to prove them, the testimony may
be wanting. Will you not ten us where
so much money has been "layishei?"
where i. came from, and what these "out-
rageous maehinations" were? Till you
do SO, we shall be under the necessity of
saying that you are base,y laundering a
large number of your fellow citizens. 1t
is entirely untrue
The Democrat could not stop its growl-
ing until it had made another thrust at
Gov. Grimes. Now We will state few
facts, and leave the people to judge be-
tween CIV Crime and the Democ,o'.-
At the last session ofthe legislature there
were two Joint Committees appointed,
one to examine into the school fund and
school land operations, Of which Senator
Coolbaugh was the chairman, and the
other to look after the Dcs Moines Im.
provement funds, and to examine the
books, accounts, &C., Of the officers of the
State, and on this committee were some
Of the ablest Democrats in the legisla-
true, and these committees, after a thor
ough Investigation, not merely reported
nothing against Gov. Grimes, but stated
that he had refused to unite in the spec
ulations which others entered into. Gov
Grimes in stumping the State did moth
ing more than Democratic governors have
done, and We heard no complaint against
them. And they find fault nom because
he was Republican, aud because his ad-
dresses had telling effect upon their ex-
pectations Gov. Grimes is a governor

country more than their party, are proud;

The fact is that the pro-slavery Demo
cracy in Iowa are badly beaten, and they
feel that they are in a hopeless minority
Las, spring they elected two out of three
State officers, and they had confidently
hoped and expected to elect their ticket

bic over their defeat or determination.
The Republicans have gained thousands
since the las. spring election--having
elected their governor, lieutenant govern

Of the legislature. VS. might have crow

on our opponents in their present unner-
