. ROAD TO VCTOR

In the present campaign there are no
Federal offices to fill, and if there were
the people could hardly be longer delu-
ded with the idea that Kansas is in dam
ger of being surrendered up to slavery.
That bogus issue is now dead, and the
attempt to use it only provokes ridicule.
The election this fall only involves State
issues, and the people from this time on
until the closing of the polls will only
have occasion to reflect upon the condi-
ton of State finances and county affairs;
upon the taxation which they now en-
dure; upon the increased taxation I'M
pending over them, and to enquire who
is responsible for this state of things.
TO these inquiries there is, and there can
be but n answer, and the intelligent
masses of this State will hold Grimes,
Harlan, Lowe and their political associ-
atcs responsible, and we believe will re-
fuse to entrust the affairs of our State
longer in the hands of these profligatc
managers of our finances. Then to Sc
cure success it is important that from
this time on until the day of election no
effort be lost to fully organize the party,
and that to strengthen that organization
none but worthy men receive the county
nomination. ..

WEST MITCHELL, Sept. 9th, 1859.
Editor Plaindcaler:
The discussion between your fellow towns
man, D. D. Sabin and Col. Jas. jenkins of Usage,
the respective Republican and Democratic can
didates for representatives, commenced the can
vass last Monday night at Mitchell. Col. Jen-
kins opened in a speech of a half hours length
and was followed by Mr.. Sabin for forty-fve
minutes after which jenkins closed upon him
during a quarter of an hom-Mr. Sabin admit
ted that he was no speaker that he knew moth
ing about State or national politics and that he
could not do justice to the principles Of the Re
publican party; that he was a young man and
that the nomination had been imposed upon him
without any action of his-the result Of circum-
stances which he could not control. lie talked
about James Buchanan Democracy, about pop
mise which he said was an odious restriction,
and admitted he was not opposed to. it's abolition.
His speech was a rambling discursive affair,
interlarded with apologies :forahis9 ineficiency.
A tall lank specimen of the gemus1 homo by the
name Of Berry was with him and furnished him
with an asses load of documents taken from alb
clifton publications.
Col. jenkins took a national and conservative
position-made a candid and gentlemanly
speech, and efectually used Mr.. Sabin up, if in
fact there was anything about him to use up
The Republicans seeing that it event Ill with
them" and fearing the result, drummed up DR..
Frisbie, who, it is well known, can make more
mis-statcmcnts in five minutes than men Of ordi-
nary ability in an hours speech. The. DIR. read
some resolutions passed by the Maine Democra-
cy in ~1849-abuscd the Democratic party on
account Of the passage Of the Nebraska Bill
charged the Democratic party with spending 90
millions of dollars in one year for federal expen-
ditures-berated the party in this State be
cause DR.. Eads was q Democrat, and asserted
that every Democrat in the State was support:
ing him in, and trying to cover up his alleged
dcfalcation. After the venerable, Doctor had
got through and snufed the air in satisfaction d

100000 90
Average,

Average, 100000 90
These figures show that the Democrat
ic party expended over 100000 less in
eight years than the estimated expenses
for lS58-'59, under Republican rule.
But lest our Republican friends may
claim u%nfairness in this exhibit, look at
the last year of Democratic rule, (lS54,)
and the first Of Republican, Qs55.) This
shows an increase in expenditures in a
single year of nearly 100000.
We know the Republicans claim that
there We're extraordinary expenditures
during their management of our fnan-
ces. True, but were not these extraor-
binary expenses created by Republican
Legislation! But says one the tax per
capita is reduced. If so that does not
relieve the party of the grave charge of
profligate expenditures Of the peoples
money. Besides such a comparison as
they institute as a criterion for our ex-
penses would, as u population might
increase enlarge our taxes beyond COM
putation, almost. For example, the city
OF Dubuque now has it's mayor, it's COM
mon council, its board of aldermen, it's
street commissioners, it's police forces, all
with certain established salaries for their
services and all depending npon a popu-
lation Of say $4,000. Now as this popu-
lation increases with established salaries
tor all these Offices, the inevitable result
IS a less amount to each person at the
same amount of expenditures III the ag-
gregatc. But we take the position as
true, that while these salaries remain
unchanged that the legitimate expenses
Of that city government cannot be en-
larged without proAigacy, or if it is in.
creased that the party in power there is
responsible to the people for this extra
ordinary expense in the city management.
And so in the State of Iowa, while the
salaries of the officers remain unchanged.
the expenses of the Administrations
should remain the same, or if not the
same, the party increasing the State ex-
penses, should come forward and show
the people to what use they have put
this additional expense, and instead of
Sinking the responsibility, should de.
tend themselves and their appropriations
Of money.
But says one, is not Eads a defaultel
to the State! and are not the Democrat,
responsible for this! We answer that i
Eads is a defaulter to the State in an,
sum, he should have been prosecuted fol
the deficit, and that the party in power

PRE1CIfING Us. PRACTICE.

PRE1CIILNG IS. PRACTICE.
In theory the Republican party is most
tenderly solicitous that all distinction,
social or political, between the white
man and negro shall be Immediately
blotted out, and if possible, the negro
should be as free as the white man and
more so than the foreign-born white cit
izen.
The gist of Chief Justice Taney's Of
fence, with them, the very substance of
his brutality, and the conclusive proof of
his ignorance of constitutional law is his
denial that negroes are or can become
citizens of the United States as the Con-
stitution now stands. Their practice,
however, is strangely at variance with
their teaching. The people of Kansas,
the apt pupils and especial friends of
Beecher, Greedy and Giddings, the high
priests of negro equality, have recently
framed a constitution under which Kan
sas is to ask admission as a State; and it
was the constant theme Of the Republi-
cans that they had an overwhelming ma
jority in that convention. Therefore, it
may not be amiss to see whether the pro-
posed constitution gives thenegro that per-
feet equality with the white man which
they have SO often asserted he is entitled
to ON every principle of religion and hu-
mainly. Perhaps an extract from a pa
per that in 1856 e%loquently discoursed
upon the horrors Of s'border rufainism"
will be acceptable here to show how that
false and hypocritical party treated the
negro in Kansas. It says:
''The new Kansas constitution treats the ne
gro as an imper:inence and a bore, refuses to
make the State responsible for the protection of
his liberty, hesitates even upon the right of tri
al by jury where he is concerned, and fatty de-
NEST him the exercise of the suffrage
We do not know of a Republican jour
nal butthat says the Kansas constitution
is Gin every way worthy of. the .fsemen
by whose ability and spirit it has been
made" and instead of saying the negro
has been harshly treated, they are now
taking to themselves great credit, from
the fact "that free negroes were not ex-
PEELED from Kansas as several members
Of the committee proposed they should
be.
Dear reader. do pause and reflect
upon 1.-THE negro-worshippers have
positively and fatty refused to kick their
idols out of Kansas! Is it possible to
furnish proof stranger than this, that
their devotion to human rights and indi-
vldual freedom stands unquestioned, and
above suspicion? We unhesita5ingly MS
wer yes.-In this representative district
we have a freedom-shrieker who believes
that all the rights conferred upon citi-
Gems Of the United States by our Consti-
tuition was equally designed for the ben
fit of the negro; and this man was re-
warded for these opinions by the Repub-
lican convention held at Riceville; or if
not for this, for his uniform opposition
to every man who failed to choose the
United States as his place of nativity.
