tons will be failures that they will
be put down. Yes, but will not slavery
nevertheless he put down BY them !
For what portions are there Of the
South that will cling to slavery after
two or three considerable instructions
shall have filled the whole South with
horrorl And is it entirely certain
that these Instructions will be put
down promptly AMI before they can
have spread far Will telegraphs and
railroads be too swift for even the
swiftest instructions I Remember that
,elegrapAs and railroads can be rem
dered useless in an hour. Remember,
too, that many who would be glad to
face the insurgents, would be busy in
transporting their wives and daughters
to places where they would be safe
from that worst fate which husbands
and fathers can imagine for their wives
and daug hters.-G errit Smith.

Cole and other democrats Head!
Mr. Dixon, editor Of the Warren
Eagie, Republican paper, is deter,
mined to give his political brethren d
niece of his mind" Dixon is posted
and in his last issue publishes this
We thought, until the campaign
of 1889, that the Republican press o.
Iowa was An example OF purity, dis
passionate argument and dignity
Without saying a word in dcrogation
Of many of our brethren in ms with
whom we have held pleasant inter.
course in years that have fled, We are
constrained TO say that some of the
prominent Republican papers of the
State are disgracing themselves and
the party by resorting to the mos,
VIGOROUSLY slanderous charges against
their opponents. The attack Oh Cole
by that remorscless compendium o
walking vilainly, c. Durham, E-q
WIS a stcreotyped disgrace to the par
". 1t emanated from source SO vile
50 shiny with the impression of The
original scIpcnt, that hundreds OF Re
publcans IN the State have sworn OF
the altar OF their dead ancestors tina
they will affiliate with no organization
that either endorses or iolerates sucl
aggravated attacks on private charac
! ter.
Where, in the name Of public virtue
have the public decency and purity O
some Of our republican organs strayed
So long as we stand on the platform o
our party, and appeal in caud,,
manner to the intelligence OF the free
man Of this State, we have nothing T.
fear but another campaign like thi.
that depends for sustcnance on tn
murdered regulations of our fellow
citizens will consign the Republlca
party with all its high civilization AM
refinement to the perdition of popuI;,
contempt
And Dixon might have added, tina
in October the people OF Iowa uil
consign the Republican party to tb
rerdit'on of popular contempt" Tn
few honest men in the party can't say
it.
