Des Moines, March rs, 1852.
cTThe Republicans Of Wheeling, Vir-
ginis, have held public meeting and passed
resolutions extending cordial invitation to
the Republicans OF the Union to hold their

ca The Democratic press seem to cour
on making great deal Of capital out OF til
Massachusetts, question upon the right
alien suffrage. As Senator Wilson and Ii
leaders OF the Republican party there an
elsewhere are opposed to the restriction cor
templated, it 10 very probable that the Loco
