rng MISSION OF TnE NE WAPA-
PER-.

There 10 probably no one fact more
generally received as tru.h,thsn that the
character Of community is evidenced
by the prominent characteristics Of Its
newspaper press. If the press posses
% life, energy, prominence and Tue
elements Of progress, they are the re-
Elections Of the people who sustain H..
II the people possess industry, intcgri-
ty aud busin ness qualifications, they may
be safely inferred from the prosperity
and standing Of the local press.
The importance Of sustaining the
local press Is not properly considered
BY those having an interest in the al
vsncement Of this newly settled coun-
Try. All the anticipations Of its great
ness in power and wealth, nov concealed
In the womb Of futurity, are dependent
upon the influx Of hardy, enterprising
population. Ts entice such from the
sterile lands in the old States to the
fertile and unbroken plains Of the new,
you must send forth your messengers,
bearing the tidings that here Nature
has prepared rich field, in which the
husbsnduau may reap . rich reward
for his labor.
Il should require no argument to
convince the people Of Iowa, that an
extensive circulation Of the newspapers
published 10 the State, throughout the
eastern States, is the surest means Of
inducing immigration. The first thing
70 be attended to, is to give generous
and liberal home support to the local
press. A dollar invested for this
purpose, will return to the purse Of the
patron with double interest. II those
immediately concerned give deaf ear
to the appeals for "aid and comfort"
made BY home newspapers, the result
to be reasonably expected are a sicLl y
existence for them, and a rctrogadc
march in the improvement Of the
country.

proxlmate TO it is ia the form Of a
representative Democracy. 1t is, how
ever, self-evidcnt that the closer we
keep the government to the source
whence the power to govern springs,
tho purer will be it's ministrations.
The National Democratic party Of the
United States is founded upon this
doctrine. The general government is
formed by convention Of the several
States, the latter being recognized as
integral parts Of one whole. Nopower
can be exercised by the united body,
that has not heen expressly oonvevad
BY the fundamental law known as the
Constitution. All the remaining pow
ers which have been delegated 10y tho
people of tho States to the States, for
the purposes Of Organizing a govern
ment, remain in the States themselves,
and can not be interfered with by the
general government. From this we
deduco the inviolabihty Of the rights
Of the States, and the consequent limo
walton Of those rights, whenever the
national government, in either its re
preventative, Judicial or executive
branches. infringe upon them.
Here the two great political parties
Of the nation differ. The Republican
party contend for a Capitalization Of
power, and the formation of a strong
national government. TO effect this,
they claim for Congress an extended
Jurisdiction, equal, if not superior, to
that Of the Parliament OF England.
They contend for the right OF Congress
TO intervene in the local affairs OF the
territories, and to take from the peo-
ple the privilege of managing their
domestic concerns IN their own way.
They advocate the ignoring of the very
existence Of the territorial govern
ments, only SO far as they may conform
to the wishes Of the overruling central
power-a power that can have no di-
rect interest in their welfare, and in
which they have no privilege Of con-
trolling enactments.
This question will be the absorbing
issue in the Presidential campaign of
1860. 1t would be premature "to
open the ball" at this early day, but
when tho time does come, We will be
found ia the ranks of the Democracy,
battling for the rights Of the people to
govern themselves, and opposing the
Federal doctrine Of Congressional in
tervention.
