nois, and bow down in the dust before
their political deity in language Of servile
praise. The truth is, these infatuated
men think that Douglas will be the Dem
ocrstic nominee in 1860, and wish to dis
tinguish themselves early in the day.
The substitute to which We refer was
offered BY ]. W. Bosler, who had been the
president Of the peoples convention. The
Sioux City Register, one Of the staunchert
and most reliable Democratic papers in
the State, and edited with zeal and ability,
says: "Not Democrat rho .tarored the
call for q City Democratic contention and
support Of regular Democratic nominees
voted for Mr.. Bosler's substitute.
The National Democrats, we find in the
Register Of April 7th, denounce this move,
ment Of disorganizers, because the conven.
ton WAS controlled by men who had no
right to participate therein, because the
resolution denouncing the Adminstrat ion
and endorsing Stephen A. Douglas is no
toriously Numerically opposed to the sen
timents Of the Democracy of Sioux City,
and because the convention was controlled
by unfair means. They state in their pro
test, which is signed by such men as Col.
Wn. Trippe, Col Robert Means, S. P. Yeo.
mans, John P. Allison, George Weare,
and many othsrs, that these "bolters' who
passed Bosler's substitute, "have for the
last eighteen months persistently opposed
the regular Democratic nominees and vo
ted for and sustained Black Republicans,
and that they had previously attended in
cit'zen's convention and pledged them
selves to support the candidates Of tina,
convention"
Thus the matter stands at Sioux City,
to the dishonor Of those who attempted to
disorganize, and to the credit of those Ma
tionsl Democrats who so gallantly fought
against them. We hope the National De.
mocracy will hold no terms with these
"boltersD but require from them an I'M
conditional surrender or an emigration to
the Republican ranks.-Darenport Nercs.
