we apparently feel an assurance of a prosperous
couxse with the generous and enterprising citi-
2ons OF Howard county. Feeling equally inter-
e@ted with you in the speedy improvement of a
county so beautiful to look upon, treasured with
wealth and the hidden comforts of life-all this
N our view, we cheerfully enlist as a cleaner in
The Golden harvest before u.s.. But while we ap-
pear before you in the capacity of a publisher in

mud he political strife of partizan principle, let
Us asi if our associations will be agreeable? or
Will prejudice from party strife tempt our ad-
v~efsarles in principle to withhold that patron
age due the Howard county press? We think
not. But whether the result of our labors shall
prove agreeable to our prediction or not we shall
never ~falter, but with unyielding perseverance
endeayor to discharge the duty devolving upon
Us IN heralding the local interests of our county
and pure democratic principles, for c%onvinc-
ed from a sense of right that the field in which
we labor is broad, 'no fear shall Wke or favor
sway US" in our onward course. Let us see
what. We shall see.
OR Political Prospects.-Prcsent indica.
tons throughout the State give US the most
chcering promises for the success of the Demo
cratic party in Iowa this fall. From all quar-
tors is coming up the glad intelligence that the
confidence Of the people in the great principles
OF Democracy is undated and unabating, and
that IN the coming contest every nerve will be
strained to uphold and support the principles of
that party which has thus far given strength and
security to our institutions. None need ask
9rhy tins enthusiasm prevails in the ranks of the
Democracy. The reason is apparent to every
observer. Indeed we should rather ask WHY It
could be otherwise. Surely the people have
seen enough and heard enough from the oppo-
siticn to satisfy themselves that they need not
expect any truth or fairness from them. They
certainly do not require any further evidence to
show them that the professions of the opposition
are faul 9; that their zeal is destitute of hon
esty and that their whole line of policy is in d.
rect ~antsagonism to every principle Of harmony,
good order and justice. Who does not know
mat professions Of honesty are corrupt which in
one breath pleads imploringly in behalf of col
ored race which it imagines is unrighteously
treated, and yet in the next is equally loud in it's
i~nvective and denunciation against the Catholic
and the foreigner? Such miserably hollow So
phistry' as is attempted to be imposed by them
upon the people, only recommends itself to the
disgust of fair minded men, and they according
~ start back from it as they would from q SER
Pent IN their path.-But in the professions of
the democracy, the dispassionate observer sees
no such political trickery-the creed of that par
ty stands full and fair, and he cannot be deceiy-
cd as to what are its true tenets; he sees the
party to-day standing upon the same platform,
actng upon and advocating the sam principles
which 1t stood and acted upon fifty years ago, up
on all the great questions that have lately been
before the public mind. The record Of that 81.
ty years in the control of the political destinies
OF this republic is spread in lines of unfadine
light before the American people. They en-.
dorse that record; they approve Of the policy.
the principles and purposes of the Democracv.
during that long and eventful period in the his.
tory OF our nation; and we believe the popular
verdict this fall will be, "We are in favor of a
continuation Of the political sway of that party
ander whose principles this government has en-
llcoyed q degree Of prosperity unparalleled in the
history OF nations, and under whose govern
ment the people have enjoyed a degree Of pro-
lection IN their person and property, in the
tree enjoyment Of religious and political sennti-
ment, never before vouchsafed to fallen man"
