Proclamation. .

Whereas the past winter has been one Of
special trial and destitutiOn 10 many Of our
people, on account Of which we should
humble ourselves before Him who directs
us in ways and to ends unseen by human
wisdom, according to his own pleasure and
whereas abstinence from food, accompanied
with religious humiliation and the prayer Of
faith, in seasons of public distress, are re-
corded among the general duties of all
Christian communities, l. therefore. would
respectfully recommend Friday. the 22d Of
April next, to be observed by all the people
OF this State as a day of fasting. humiliation
and prayer, that thereby we may propitiate
a kindlier Providence and be fed once
more with the heritage of Jacob"
In testimony whereof have hereunto
set my hand, and affixed the great
seal Of the State of Iowa. Done
at Des Moines. this 2Sth day Of
March, A. d. 1859, aud Of the In
dependence Of the United States
the s4th, and Of this State the 18th.
BY the Governor, RALPH p. Lowe.

The PosTIoN OF THE NEws.-We
were very much surprised at the position as
sumed by the Necs touching the action of
Isaac III. Sears in the Democratic City Con-
vention. How any Democratic journal can
defend the action of Mr.. Sears we are at loss
to comprehend. It is true that he was NOM
mated by the Democratic caucus Of the 9Th
Ward. After that however. he himself
abandoned the Democratic party and voted
in Democratic Convention for prominent
Republican, who was at that time the NOM
inee OF the Republican party. By such
course he insulted the Convention, sold out
the Democratic party. and gave public no :
tice to all parties that he supported-not
Democrats but Republicans for Office. How
then can lie expect to be sustained by dem
|Ncrats.
Suppose the Democratic City Convention
had nominated Judge Burris for Police Mag
istrate, through some trick or underhand'
ed management, does the NsW' pretend to
say that Democratic journal would have
been under the necessity Of supporting him
for that office-or supposing the man Sears
had, instead of voting for his divinity, Eb-
nezer Cook, thrown his vote for Judge Bur
ris in that Convention, would the Nescs still
call his action proper, and after such dis
graceful act, insisting upon the party sup
porting him TO the Office to which he had
been formerly nominated.
For our part We have got through sup
porting Independent candidates for office
and We have also quit the business Of sup
porting bogus democratic, who, the moment
they have the power, are ready to sell out
our party and it, candidates with as little
apparent compunction Of conscience as
Looais i Co, has Of truth ani honesty.
The Neps may with just a. much pro-
pristy openly advocate the election Of Mr..
Cook and Judge Burris, ~ to advocate the
election - man on the Democratic ticket,

POLICE MAGIsrRATE.-Ihc persons
who do the dirty work for the Republican
party are industriously circulating the re-
port that we are opposed to the election Of
Johns to this office. We caution all men
against this stuff We are for the entire
democratic ticket, and we ask for Mr.. Johns
a large vote. We say to all men that he is
IN all conceivable respects superior to
Judge Burris Whatever our preferences
may have been before the Convention, We
have none now. lie is nominee and
as such will receive our hearty support,
and should have that of every democra in
the city. We are sorry to see that the Nsws
supports Sears, but are convinced that the

Johns, but was written by the senior editor.
