have reasons to believe the Auditors War
rants on the State Treasury, amounting to
over forty thousand dollars, are vet unpaid

hundred thousand dollars was to pav the
outstanding warrants. and to meet the cur
rent expenses Of the State until the State

s. The Gazette on Douglas Democracy

Vne daZeCC0 on douglas democracy.
The Gazete, of yesterday, is again
filled from one end to the other, with
disinterested sympathy for the Dong
las Democrats in their severe misfor-
tunes, and advice as to the course
which they shall pursue under the
circumstances which they are placed.
The best and only course now to be
adopted by them. according to the
sage advice Of our neighbors, is to
subscribe for one or more copies Of the
Gazette, abandon the Democratic par
ty, of which they are recognized by
all as members, and to 60 ove bodily
to the Republicans. If the Gazette
supposes that in its opposition to the
whole Of the principles upon which all
democrats are agreed, and in its filings
at the entire Democratic party, it is
representing the sentiments of the
Douglas Democracy, it is reckoning
without its host.
Although the democracy may differ
upon one single question Of policy, no
one wing has As yet become prepared
to desert the time honored principles
Of its party and adopt the platform Of
isms,' of which that mighty ism, Repub-
licanism, is composed.
As we have before remarked, the
Douglas Democrats are entirely COM
petent to manage their own business
without the assistance of their uncom.

the exculpation Of Father Greedy, High

world that the Democratic party is try ing
to enslave anybody; much less the trace"
| of modern Republicans.
The fact is, the platform ~ Q political
! document, is q complete failure. 1t consists
solely Of a string Of pointless generalities Of
a mere negative character. 1t mentions
BLEEDING Kansas" only once, and directs
tious ideas clothed in naHbypamby plati-
against the Democratic party, in a
most weak and impotent m1hner.
But 1t very carefully forgets to remind
the people Of Iowa that the Republican
party has cost our tax payers in only three
years of its rule, nearly one million Of dol
lars, besides sinking the State in debt near
ly half q million more 1t forget to remind

Under this rule our State, whose citizens

Since the supremacy of sham Republi.

pie rising in their strength will be able to
