aud doin2s Of the great National Demo-
cratic party. 1t is but a short time since
the democracy of this county we're claim
ing that they were the National party,
and that the Republican party was sec
ti,o,,ol party and that was a sufficient rea-
son for supporting James B. Platform.
But now where stand the Democracy
the National Democracy Of Iowa? They
are the smallest kind of National party.
Their party to day could not carry sim
gle State, North or South In Illinois
the party is divided, and the rupture is
one that cannot be easily healed; and
however anxious Mr.. Douglas may be for
reconciliation, the administration party
do not desire it. Mr.. Douglas thought
he could carry the Democracy of the
whole North with him in opposition to
Buchanan. He forgotten he must have
known--that the great bulk of the party
always 60 with the faction in power, with
some local exceptions. He should have
known that he could not lead off, from
Democratic President, the great body of
his party. Had his party been out of
power, it might have been otherwise.
But they viii not desert the public crib.
In April last, the Douglas Democrats
of Illinois held a convention, and nomi-
mated Douglas State ticket Ever since
they have been working to bring about
union Of the factions
The Stotc Register, douglas, on the
morning that the Buchanan wing met in
convention, (thc 9th inst, omitted the
list OF candidates, expecting to announce
union ticket, with candidates of both
wings, aud letter was written to the
convention intending to aid in the recon
citation But all would not do. The
Euchanan men had no sympathy for
Douglas oe his followers, as will be seen
by the following resolutions which we're
unanimously and enthusiastically adopted
ty tho convention.
g. That the advancement Of any mau's
political fortunes is an object entirely Sec
ondary to the preservation of the true
Democratic faith; aud we believe the par
t. can and will survive, not only the as
Saults Of its enemies, but, also, the failure
oil its aspiring men to reach the goal of
their wishes
I. That NC congratulate the country
and the present National Administration
upon the happy settlement Of the Kan
sas question by the $50 called) English
bill. and that regarding that settlement
as tual We embrace the opportunity thus
happily afforded, to invite and exhort all
true Democrats to unite upon the basis
Of an aperora! or aequiesceDee in that
settlement.
8. That We cannot hnt regret the ru-
ineas course taken by the only senator in
Congress from the State of Illinois, who
claims to be Democrat, and decidedly
condemn the ever reening conceit with
which in his speech of Dec 9, 1851, he
attempts to account for what he chose to
consider the Presidents ignorance Of the
true principles upon which the contest
of 1856 was decided; and we no less car
restly condemn the suspicious alacrity
With which the same Senator sought to
ingratiate himself into the good opinion
at the enemies of the Democratic party
liz the North.
There is no doubt chat this last conven-
ton carried ont the views of the admin
stratioa in reference to the Douglas men,
far tho wre-pullers were just from Wash
in..on. Thus is the last hope of the
Rouslasites swept away. They are to be
pittied. We advise them, as they abhor
sectionaism, to leave the mere faction
that can muster but three men in the e..
Scrate, and join the great, growing
and national Republican party.
At home, here in Cedar county, the
condition of the party is little if any
better off than in Illinois. A. first, near
y all were opposed to Lccornpton; but,
after the ESQ cailed) English bill had be-
come law, there was great calm. The
Cedar Democrat came out in strong ar.
/ tcle in its favor; but it fell still born.
/ There was no response to it. 1t did not
accord with the feelings and sympathies
Of the people. They had been taught by
the Democrat, during the past winter, to
! believe that the "shrieks for Kansas
were not without cause--and now il is
difficult to ascertain whether they are for
! Douglas or buchanan. We opinc that
the Democratic State Convention to DC
held ia Iowa City next week, will not
dare to endorse either buchanan or Doug
las
4 We have often Heard it asked what
constitutes Democrat The answers are
various. Mr.. G. G. Bonncy, Of Peoria,
I in the Illinois Buchanan Convention, faid
Tie would ask what is Democrat!
lille j. one who will abide by the platform
Of Lis party, and further, swear allegiance
to those who for time have been chosen
the tribunals to cxponnd democratic
\ law" 81 our Douglas friends have FIRST
70 get back into the party BY repentance,
and then they must always fellow the
