FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

We will send The REGISTER to subscrib
ers from the commencement of volume
two until the first of November. for 80
cents in advance. As The REGISTER is the
only Democratic paper in this Represeu
tative District, the friends of the party
should secure its introduction into every
family in the District, to the end that
sound Democratic doctrines may be freely
disseminated among the people, that they
may have thorough knowledge of the
questions at issues between the political
parties of the day. In making this pro-
position we expect to meet a hearty
second from those who desire to see Dem.
ocratic principles triumph. 1t is not
enough for item to read this notice, and
hope that the Campaign Register" may
succeed, but it is their duty to 90 to work
and secure its success.

The Prospect Rrtghtens.

Since the late Conventions a. Des
MONIES, very preceptible change has
been going On in the political feeling and
sentiment Of the people Of Iowa. The
humiliating fact tina. for several years in
succession, the fanatic cry Of oppression,
bleeding Kansas, and Southern dictation,
has prevailed over reason and candor. in.
spired Republicans with the hope of Ger
tain triumph at the coming election. They
did not consider that the masses would
sicken Of alarms when there is no danger
and learn to distrust those who are profuse
in promises which they never fulfill.
No sooner had the Democrats announc.
ed their standard bearers and defined their
position, than hosts of candid, honest men
in every quarter Of the State, felt that
their candidates were above reproach and
their position plain, just and unsqu..vocal
The confidence Of the people in the wis
dom and integrity Of the Democracy was
everywhere apparent. The worst fears of
Republicans began to assume a tangible
form-because they Eel. they had "foemen
worthy Of their steel.'
The Republicans always unscruplous
whom they have party ends to subssrve
have nevertheless been successful in their
attempts to villify our nominees or exci..
hostility to our platform. The residents
of Iowa we'll know that such men as
DODGE, BABBlrr, MASON and WILSON
have been tried and approved. Their
names are towers Of strength and q syno,
nym for integrity and fitness. These men
were identified with the best interests OF
Iowa and active in her service. while their
calamnia,ors wers yet "mewing and
spewing in their nurses arms" The op-
position are sorely troubled by these
things, knowing full we'll that so far as
merit and principles go, the contest is
favorable to Democracy. For some time
few forlorn individuals have entertained
hope that Gen. DoDcE would not accept
but even that hope is now dissipsted. Gen

position 20 confer the greatest benefit up
on the Democracy Of Iowa Throwing
aside the considerations Of private inter
est ard pleasure. be comes up boldly tc
the work and accepts the leadership

WASHINGTON. July |.

WASHINGTON, July II.
Previous to the preparation of the let
ter to our Minister at Berlin, instrncting
him to demand of the Hanorerian Gov
eminent the surrender Of Mr.. Ernst, At
torney General Black, at the request of
the President, rendered an opioion in the
case maintaining the general rights of ex
patriation as incontestabls, and that in
regard to the protection OF our citizens In
their rights, at home and abroad, we have
no law which divides them into classes or
| makes any difference whatever between
them. A native and naturaliaed citizen
may, therefore, 60 forth with equal secu-
rity over every sea and through every
land under heaven including the country
in which the latter was born, either of
them may be taken for debt contracted,
or crime committed. by him, but both
are absolutely free from all political obli-
cations but their own. They are both
american citizens aud their exclusive al
legiancs is due to the Government Of the
United States.
In Judge Blacks opinion the Hanove'
rian Government cannot justify the arrest
Of Ernst, by showing that he emigrated
contrary to the laws Of that country, I'M
less it can be proved that the original
right Of expatration depends on the con-
sent Of the natural sovereign, and this last
proposition be is sure no man can sstab-
lish.
