should know something OF this matter
| Why have there been no accounts rendered
of this expenditure2 Whv are the people oil
Iowa kept in the dark? Are they not snti-
tied to have published m exhibit of tho or
penditures OF their servants? These men
islove darkness better than light, for their
deeds are evil.''
The above extract, heading and all, IL
from the precious eight page Circular. The
people Of our county will recognize that The
Johnston here charged with having his hantis
in the Treasury, is Judge Johnston, of Fort
Madison, the most prominent Dsmocrs. in
the party, and at present Chairman Of the
Lee County Democratic Central Committee.
Johnston is rather Jrsesoilish, and the Dodge
Administration lavehclding Iowa Club at
Washington City did not care to spare him
in making the desperate charge that the Re-
publican Commissioners Of the Lunatic Asy-
lum had pocketed $3.50 900, and never erect
ed single wall Of the building. The truth
in regard TO the matter is that the building
Is nearly completed, and that the whole
amount appropriated for it-$252, 00o-has
been expended under the superintendence OF
Mr.. Winslow, a well known Democrat.
The Circular abounds throughout in just
such Infamous lies, and We trust the expo
sure of this one will be sufficient to to sat-
isfy the people Of Iowa Of the character Of
the Intervention" on the part OF the Ad-
ministration and the slave power in the State
Of Iowa, and the falsehood and corruption
by which they seek to render it effectual.
II is time for the freemen Of Iowa to rise
in their might and rebuke this Federal and
slavehoiding ssintervention," to control our
State politics, or tamely to surrender to the
corrupt dicsation of this ssIowa Club Room
at the National Capital.

Circular:
On Saturday We received another OF tho
Donnelan Circulars, from subscriber at

we notice that Eads Of the PInindeaier ar :

h's authority, and the reason for this appears
10 the Circular, as We will show directly. But
there - no use in pretending such innocent
ignorance, for DonnellAn was q well-kno wn
Democrat OF this city for some time. He
went to Washington City, became regular
correspondent OF the Locofoco paper here,
obtained clerkship in Department, and
was sent by the Administration to attend the
Locofoco State Convention at Des Moines
de returned to Washington City and in pur-
suance OF an understanding had with the
leaders Of the party here, was installed Al
Secretary OF the sIowa Democratic Club
ROOMS" and signed his name to the Secret
Circulars prepared by the Club COMMITTEES.
and ranked to the Democrats OF Iowa by
Senator Bright. The whole scheme and all
its shameful rascalites are under the Joint

We hear it stated, and believe it cannot bs
contradioted, that Judge Boyles never let ou
any job Of county work to the lowest bidder
He never opened up the chances Of competi.
ton to the mechanics of Lee county, by in.
viting proposals, but always gave out the
contracts to special personal and political
friends of his own. Or else himself under
took the general superintendent, and distri-
buted the County patronage with his own
hands on wider platform, with an eye
single to lettering his chances in the Locofo-
90 County Convention.
On this principle be left the duties OF the
County Judgship to Goodrich, while he was
engaged in building the Poor House, paying
Goodrich out Of the County Treasury, for
services which be ought to have performed
himself. And on the other principle he paid
Guy Wells $4,000 for building Sugar Greek
bridge; structure, by the way, which our
mechanics say is far from substantial and
might have been constructed in more sub
stantiai and better manner for thousand
dollars less money. And on the same prin-
ciple, Guy Wells now has has the job Of i'm
proving the Court House and constructing
the jail under 1t. We hold this course Of
managing County affairs utterly wrong in
principle, and liable to great abuse in prao-
tice. 1t is not an economical, proper or safe
mode of building for tho County Judge TO
turn over his appropriate Office duties to the
Prosecuting Attorney, while he goes forth to
superintend, conduct and manage tho de.
tails Of building Poor House. Nor is il
fair or economical way of doing County
work for the County Judge to give ont fat
jobs, at high prices, by private contract, to
personal and political fayoritss.
The usual way, and tho fair and economi-
cal way, 10 to let oil these jobs to the lowest
bidders on sealed proposals., and thus giving
all our mechanics q fair chance for competi.
ton, the Judge would have secured the con-
struction Of oil the County work during
these hard times at the lowest possible rates.
He would have set good precedent for fu-
tare Judges, would have given general salts
faction, and ~ould have escaped the common
imputation that he has managed the whole
thing to secure influential friends for Sam'l
Boyles by means Of tho County patronage
in his hands. 2t

We have heard Of definite arrangem ents BY
the Looofocos to poll large Numbers Of votes
from the river and the opposite side 1t Mont.

from the number Of circulars distributed in
the Southern Tier counties, under the frank

the greatest and most systematic efforts will
De put forth all along the Missouri line.
The name of jesse Bright is the index OF
corruption and fraud, and the fact that he 10
engaged in this ssIowa Democratic Club

the fraud is one Of enormous proportions,
and will be executed with daring boldness. -
II is not improbable that Bright has arranged
with prominent Mssourians on the northern
