Homestead Bill Vetoed.


Last SATURDAY the old reprobate. who now
sits 10 the Presidential chair at Washington,
pttosd the Homestead h,U. This act fills up the
measure Of James Buchauan's recreancy to
Democratic principles-lt one Of the most n
f,pou> 81 his Infamous administration.
The slave propagandi-ts demanded that the
bill should be vetoed, and their plant tool was
swift TO obey them.
Let tho l,mp- and hirelings Of the old sinner
defend this last act Of his II they dare lie:
them come before the masses o. the people
with odd Bucks veto OF the Homestead Bill,
on their banner md ask the people TO vote for
his and the Niger traders candidate. They
dare not DO IL they dare not advocate Breck-
inrdee on such platform as this Dubuque
Herald
We had hoped that when Dorr sold
ont bis interest in the Ueratl, the De-
mocracy OF Iowa had shaken him off for
ever, and would no longer he subjected
to the hanclul Influences Of his scurrilous
pen. For several years Dorr has been
engaged in bitter warfare upon the
Democratic party of this State, and in
one or two instances he has succeeded
in almost running it. Jackson county,
once the banner county of the Democ-
racy, he turned over to ;he opposition,
and now we find him engaged in vii
famous endeayor to accomplish the same
thing IN Dubuque.
We shall always recolect a remark
made by prominent Dubuque Demo
Graf, who was present at the Stat Con-
ventIon held in Des Moines last June
Dorr was at the time cngaged-w adj
mi able success, too--in showing the
Convention how BIG an ass lie could
make of hun ELF. Sad Mr.. S. 81 be-
heVe II IA vote could be taken in tLi>
Convention as to who is the most un-
popular man in the State of Iowa, it
would result unanimously in favor OF
that low rascal. j. b. Do,r."
This Xeraa article is entirely uncal
ed for, and will do the party II nch more
harm than good. 1t is written in the
language OF one who, fox a lifetime, must
have been irequentcr Of brothels and
low pot houses. No decent man could
ttoop to use such vile, scurrilous billings
gate towards the Chief Magistrate of
this Republic. Respect for ones coun
try should cause him to refrain from the
use Of such vlllanous slang, and the
man who deals in it should be kicked
out OF respectable socety,-and if he
persists in its use, should be hung up
like dog
We hope the respectable Democratic
journals of Iowa will see the proprely OF
reiraining from all abuse of the Admin
istration they assisted in elevatng to
power. We shall most certainly defend
MIR. Buchanan from all such attacks as
the above, and in doing SO shall not hes
itate in treading numerically upon the
toes Of his assaants We cannot con
sent to conduct this canvass upon the
principle of pulling down one Demo-
cratic administration in order to secure
the elevation of another to power. The
less We have of such nonsense the better
it will be for Mr.. Douglas.
Ii the HraM proposes abusing the
Administration, they will find us after
them ecery time, and we think before
the LIST of November the "political eai
tor will wish he had retrained from
such free use Of filthy slang.
