grand celebration on the occasion Of

eighteen cars, crowded to their utmost
capacity, left Burlington at eight
o'clock and returned in the evening"

A considerable crop of Chinese
sugar cane is nearly ready for cutting

to have fair trial of its merits in Iowa,
with a view as TO the practicability OF
growing it successfully, and the quality
of its juice. 1t will not do for the ag-

almost entirely upon cereal crops
They should produce, if possible, every
thing that enters into an article Of con-
sumption both at home and elsewhere
Iowa should not be buyer Of any pro
duction that can be raised on her own

White and Negro Equality.

The equality Of the races the white and
black is the favorite doctrine OF the leaders
Of the Republican party in Iowa. But the
measures Of that party, and the entire dem
ocratic party repndiate the sentiment. They
repudiated it in 1857. when they refused to
strike out the word white from the new
constitution by 10000 majority.
Some of the more sagacious Of those lead
ers, however, attempted to deny that the
equalization of the white and black races
IS the object of the Republican party. Let
tie following sentiments and facts, however
show for Themselves:
In 1857, Oran Faville, the present Repub
lican Lieut.. Governor of the State, a resi-
dent of Mitchell county, voted to strike the
word white out of the new constitution
Mitchell county. where he resided, gave a
majority in favor of striking out the word
white. the only county in the State which
gave such majority
Henry O'Connor, the best Republican
stump speaker in the State, and at the
present time Republican candidate for pl os.
ecuting attorney in the 9TH Judicial District,
voted to strike out the word white"
We might enumerate many other individ-
uals, but will embody the whole in the fact
that
SIXTEEN THOUSAND REPUBLICAN
VOTES under the influence of the kepub-
lican leaders, We're given in favor of strik-
ing out the word white from he new con-
stitution, and not one democratic cote.
To these add the sentiments of Republi-
can leaders and speakers, as follows:
The mission and object of the Republican
party is to make all men negroes and white
mem equal in the sight of the law.-Chas
Pomeroy Republican, at Republican meet
ing at Webster City, dug. Is.
r. R.-Well, Amt a negro as good as
white man?
Judge L-No, sir! This government was
founded by white men for white men and
their posterity. 1t was not founded by or
for negroes as citizens.
K. R.-Then do you think Jesus Christ
was ID old fool x? He said he was no
respecter of persons.
Jucge Ii am not disposed to bias
pheme. Conversation bet,ceen prominent
Republican and Judge LeHngueH during the
./uol.ge's speech at Iowa Falls.
Judge Leffingwell, had YOU not rather
your daughter would marry negro than a
Dutchman.-Preacher Wood, RepuJlicaa,
at bellevue.
To these sentiments, thus uttered, might
be added numbers of endorsers prominent
among the leaders of the Republican fac
ton.

More Help for tho Republican Candi-
dates-Extra John, the Auditor on the
Stump.


Net satisfied with the assistance
likely to be rendered to Mr.. Surveyor
Vandcver in the canvass of the State
by Kirkwood, Tim. Davis and
O'Connor, the " long heads" who pull
the wires for the republican party, re-
solved to put one Charles Pomeroy, an
inhabitant Of Boone county, on the
track.
This individual, as announced by the
Gazette of yesterday, IN the acords of an
interior paper, is now travelling over
the State and will address the good
people Of Davenport on the sixteenth
inst. !; on which occasion we may ex-
pcct to be entertained with those
"spicy," as the Gazette has it,-but
reall y,--indeceut anecdotes, with which
he is accustomed to explain and embel-
ish the great principles of freedom
and republicanism."
But even yet, with all this array of
talent the conscience stricken long
heads" were dissatisfied, and the
mighty fears which racked their minds,
Of an impending and deserved defeat,
still continued to loom up in all their
great miscreated deformity, in their
pathway to the gates Of the public crib.
They were apprehensive that the
platitudcs Of Davis, the misrepresenta-
lions Of Kirkwood, the thick utterancc
Of OConnor and the dirty stories of
Pomeroy, would fail to exercise that
happy oblivious influence upon the
minds of the tax payers, which they
deem it so desirable to throw around.
the State financial administration. Final
ly grown desperate under the lashes of
their horrld fears, they have placed
Extra-John" Pattee, the Auditor, mp
on the stump, as a last resort.
1t is dreadful to think what an ava
lanche of might has been let loose by
the :" long-heads," in their despair, up
on the Democratic party and its prin-
ciple. All second rate, single barrelled
democratic orators will now show their
good sense by Immediately quitting the
field and retreating while they can yet
do so with safety.
They are no matches for so great
rascal. The man who outtops the tall
est and stands head and shoulders
above any Of the crowd of Republican
REGULATORS, who have been fattening at
the expense of the tax burdened COM
munity is not to be recklessly encoun-
tered. The man who paid his partner,
?. Moriarty, the State Printer, for work
never done /; who has been connected
with Morris in his transactions who
made a bogus contract with the man
Scott, and paid sixteen hundred dollars
out OF the State Treasury without au-
thority oflaw, to get himself out Of the
scrape; and who has been visiting wa
tsE-cure establishments, paying his
Doctor's bills, end Furnishing his house
With Brussels. Ingram and Oil Cloth.
Csrpets' at the public expense, will out
match, and by sheer force of living.
confound, any ordinary Democratic
speaker, who makes truth the basis Of
his remarks.
Since the Auditor is in the field We
hope that he will not neglect to devote
. portion Of his remarks to the exposi-
s'on OF the science of stealing from the
public treasury and that he viii explain

extensively without becoming answer-
