Ono Word.
The Dubuque organs of Democracy have the
happiest faculty of keeping upa muss, of any
journals it is our pleasure to read. Very much of
their discussion has its origi.in personal feeling,
and we beg to say that such differences as have
marked their intercourse for the last six months
have won neither of them any special regard from
their party friends; nor has the war between
them been particularly advantageous to the De-
mocracy Of Northern Iowa. There is room enough
for both, and We know We speak the sentiments
of nine-tenths of their country readers, when We
tell them cessation of hostilities will help them
both in public estimation.

it recognizes and establishes the territorial
