us we will show in this review. There was
never demagogue seeking power who
did not denounce his adversaries IS cx-
travacant, corrupt, trustees. 1t IS easy
to make charges, it is not difficult Tor Z
them to get up simulated proof and de-
'ceptive evidence, seeming to sustain
these charges, when they speak by them
selves and without opposition, aad pro-
fess to quote book and page. And 1t Is
thus they are new traversius the sta'e,
scattering these charges like chaff, ana
Aattering themselves that 9Th. tranquil
masses" believe them, and will become |
like themselves uneasy.
For the consideration of the same
tranquil Masses not for the .'uneasy
politician" We have prepared the facts
and figures following:
We propose to notice,
First: Their charges against the ke-
publican Administration, and show them
to be false and libellous:
Second: What the Republican AID
ministration has done for the State and,
Third: We propose to consider the
question whether this party of uneasy

ing of your confidence.
First: One of these politicians deliv-

order to give it.more credit, was subse-
quently published in an anonymous pam.

post masters over theState. It's substance
is published on nearly every stump. Its
principal charges We proceed to notice,
and US you discover their falsity, you will
understand how much confidence you can
place in the others.

THE TRUTH.
On January Is, 1856 Mr.. Ben. ~
.Somuels Of Dubuque (Dcmocrat) got
cave to introduce this bin increasing the
pay of State printer On his motion the
I'D, Rule was suspended. the bill was
read second time. He then got a spec
ial committee appointed, himself as
chairman, and soon after they reported
favorably upon it. 1t was made retroca-
tive SO to as apply to Mnhony and Dor,,
the Democratic State printers then in
office. The House took Sanucrs word
tor it that it was all right, aud passed it.
-Sre House Jouraai page 304, SAB.
In the Senate, Workman, Of Johnson
county, also Democrat, took charge of it,
and had it refered to a committee on
ways and means. The House was Re
publican, hence there the Den ocrats had
it referred to special committee. The
Senate was Democratic, hence there it
went to a regular Committee. Shields Of
Dubuque, also Democratic, reported lt
back from committee, and recommended
its passage. Nceaham, Republican NOV

Legislature repealed it, instead of con-
tinuing it, Us the Democrats had passed
it, for the benefit of their own party Of
