outraee upon an honoesd Senator; which en-
cousaeed and appsovsd the invAsiona, thre's,
assess, and mardsss - the Border Ruiians Of
Missouri, which would blight the faisess pos-
sesssoas u our country with the curse Of
sIevssy, nay be expected to endorse every
nevement, and to make every cause its own,
that may crafty the personal enmity Of its
leaders, or advance the interests Of it, candi-
dates. Hence We End the democracy Of this
county encouraging the spirit Of mobbing,
lypching, and lawlessness, which has obtained
to such fearful extent throughout portions Of
this State during the last few months. +
The facts are simply these: The Grand Jury
Of this county, after patient hearing Of the
evidence in the case Of the State Of Iowa rs.
J. n. Brown, refused TO find bill Of indct-
ment against Mr.. Brown. At this, certain lead
err Of the democratic party took great offence,
and called an indignation meeting, for last
evening, to consider the unprecedented action
Of the Grand Jury" The meeting assembled,
and was presided over By the same President
Who oficiatcd mt the democratic ratification
meeting Of last Saturday one week ago. The
Secretary was also the same. The principal
speaker was also the same Il was distinctly
asowed, by this distinguished leader Of the
democratic party, and who, by the way, was .
prominent candidate for the Office Of Lieuten-
ant Governor in the nominating convention at
Iowa City, that certain crises did arise when i
became the duty Of the people to take tl,e law
into their own hands. He said the lync6ing Of
Casteel, in Powsheik county, was case Of that
kind, and that the people there we're justi6able
in the course they pursued. Resolutions were
adopted strongly censaring the Grand Jury, and
declaring that mob law was sometimes right,
and that Mr.. Brown should live no longer in
Mahaska county.
Will the democratic party throughout the
State endorse the action Of their brethren in
Oskaloosa? Are they willing to sanction mob
Law and make it one Of the planks in their plat.
form? VERTrAs.
