PEACE MEASURE EA.

1t is to us and all true democrats
very pleasing to notice the universal
harmony that exists throughout the
State in reference to the State Conven-
ton, and the line Of policy then and
there to be adopted and carried out.
So far ~ we can learn there is no such
thing talked OF IS Administration men
or Douglas men-that idea is growing
stale and hateful to the main body Of
the democrscy-and everybody seems
inclined to nominate democrats only
asking no other test than the endorse
ment Of the State and national demo-
cratic platforms. This pleases us and
gives promise Of success at the next
gubernatorial election, provided Hon.
A. G. Dodge is put in nomination for
the Governorship, and equally as good
candidates. for the other offices. On
account Of the place at which the
Convention is to DO held this year, We
fear tina. the delegation from the east
ern counties will be mcagre, but we
hope that the old spirit OF the nntcr-
rified will arouse itself and not only
send ont q full representation but make
arrangements for full aud com

State. A thorough organization in
every town and district-the suspen-
sion Of all factious feelings Of every
kind, and . united effort on the part
Of every democrat through the canvas
and At the polls will ensure the entire
rout Of the Opposition forces, and
place the Democratic party once more
in power IN the State of Iowa. 1t is
already time to commence work, and
preparation for the campaign. The
Opposition, fearful Of the defeat which
stares them in the face are already
marshaling their forces and connecting
schemes to gain in strength by weak

this they will make use Of every STRAIT.
