Democratic Progression.

The Albany Journal gives the following
terse and truthful history of the advance Of
Democratic doctrine ., .as....
"The Democratic party has had four
different doctrines on slavery: LIST, the JEFF
fersonian, which secured territorial freedom
everywhere; I'd, the Missouri Compromise,
which gave freedom part and slavery q
part; Sd, Popular Sovereignty, allowing
settlers to admit or exclude slavery, as they
please 4th, the bred Scott decision, which
establishes slavery everywhere. These -four
changes in forty years show improvement,
for the worse,' steady and rapid"

proves that he is good enough for them, and,
if he is, the "weevilly wheat" he recently
distributed among. them was quite good
enough for them. if not too good. We pre-
sumo they can afford to swallow him as meat

Mr.. Farnam, Mr.. Dyer, and others con.
nected with this road, have been spending
several days in this city during the present
week. They had opportunities OF convessing
with many of our citizens, and OF learning
the state Of sentiment in Polk County. VI
the exact nature Of their overtures, concln-
sions and designs, we prefer to say but little,
because we know but little. Weare assured,
however, that the impression is favorable on
both sides; and that the assurances given
as to the commencement of work between
Council Bluffs and Iowa City, are more sat-
isfactory than they have been for some time
past. The bonds of Pottawattamie County,
Iowa, and Douglas County, Nebraska, have
been issued, to the amount OF half million
of dollars !; and work has been commenced
on the Western end of the line. The Iowa
County Visitor says that the bonds OF that
county have Mt length been issued, and that
work is to be commenced there forthwith
We understand that the Company are ready
to guarantee the commencement Of work
Immediately along the whole line between
Des Moines and Iowa City-and to give in
Identifying bonds to that effect-as soon a
Polk County issues her bonds. These are
the statements as they reach us from those
who have been in communication with Mr.
Farnam and his associates.
We have no hesitation in saying. that il
such guarantees are offered, Polk County
will raise both hands for the contamination
of the long desired movement. The day
that marks such contamination, will assure
the dawn of a brighter period in the history
of Central Iowa. There is no hope of new
impulse for Des Moines and Polk County
short of this Railroad movement and thu
gains to result from Railroad connection
with the rest of mankind, will so far over
balance any disadvantages connected will
the assumption Of County debt of $500,
900, as not to admit of moments hesitation
just let US be assured that we are to hav'
an early Railroad connection with the East
as the result of an issue of the County Bonds
and the course dictated by sound policy II
obvious to every considerate mind. If il
were proposed to give the sum outright, in
stead of subscribing for so much stock, thu
best interests of this section would leave mt
room for doubt or hesitancy.-Des Nome

Owing to the financial revulsion which
lately paraIyzed, in a measure, the specula-
tive mania which prevailed throughout the
country, the high prices at which real estate
was held, have fallen to more correct figures,
and man with but small capital can OBJ
tain comfortable home for himself and
family on the broad and fertile lands of this
State.
| In the course of year or two, prices Of
real estate will rise to much higher figures
than it can be bought for now, and those
who purchase at the present time, will find
themselves in condition which they would
call wealthy, even before they are aware of
it. Indeed, this has been the case in thou
sands of instances, in the past history of
| Iowa and other Western States. Men have
come West, bought a piece of land, and in
consequence Of the gradual increase of the
property, found themselves in independent
circumstances and masters of On ample pro-
vision for their children.
In the eastern States, there are thousands
of families who by hard toll and good man
agement, contrive to SNAKE both ends
meet' as they call it, ut the end of the
year. They Eve on "a small farm from which
they can barely derive a subsistence, and
which they could sell for several thousand
dollars. Were such families to sell out,
raise all the cash available, and come to the
west, and lay out the same money in pur-
chasing land on our rich western prairries,
they would act wisely, and greatly to
their own advantage.
We have now in our minds eye, a number
of men who were small farmers in eastern
States. and who a few years ago did rs we
have here suggested, and who are now some
Of the largest land owners and leading agri-
culturists of the west.
Now is the time, in which great chances
are offered to purchasers Of land, and we
firmly believe the best thing every one can
do for himself and his family, whether he
lives east or west, is to purchase land for
homestead now while it can be obtained ut a
fair price.-Erpress & Herald.

Z OCT. ia.
The Administration Give up New York.
From the apparently cordial union in the
outset of all factions of the New York De-
mocracy upon their State ticket and the
common platform Of the Administration,
and from the divisions of our opposition
forces into three clashing and irreconcilable
factions, we have heretofore considered the
success of the Democratic party in our No.
vember State election as hardly admissible
of doubt. But recent developments and
events, here and elsewhere, have dissipated
all these favorable anticipations, and now,
from all the lights and shadows, facts and
testimony before us, We frankly confess that
we anticipate nothing else than a crushing
defeat Of our demoralized Democracy in
November next-a defeat which will include
the election of Morgan and his State ticket,
an opposition Legislature, and an increased
opposition delegation to Congress.
