Prepare for Battle.

The campaign at hand, and which has
already been entered upon by the Re-
publicans, promises to be one Of the
most enthusiastic and holly contested
struggles known in the political history
Of the nation. The signs Of the times
pretty surely indicate that the States Of
New York and Pennsylvania will be
made the battle ground of the opposing
forces; that in the old Empire and Key
stone States vast amount Of political
powder will be burned on both sides.
Now, while this may be the case, while
Il may happen that the States mentioned
will turn the scale either for Democracy
and right, aud against the Opposition
aud wrong, it does not in any degree fol-
low that state Of mastery inactivity
should reign in other sections Of the
Union. For the Democracy Of other
parts Of the Union especially in these
northwestern States, to remain idle, and
emily look on while our brethren in the
east are deeply and arduously engaged
Ia combating the enemy, would not
emily be very wrong, but would be the
worst kind Of policy-it would not only
Tend to enervate the party here, but
would dishcarten the gallant Democra.
cy Of other States.
In Iowa, it will be remembered by all
that the majority On the Republican
aide at the last State campaign was only
three thousand. This number it most
certainly appears to us can be overcome
provided adequate exer,ions are made
By the Democracy through the State. 1t
will not be forgotten that the majority
et last fall was great falling off from
NE majority Of the Republicans the year
preceding, and surely the Democracy
are fully as compeent to carry the war
farther into the camp of the enemy, az
they were last year to reduce the Re.
publican majority Of the year before in
The way they did. All that is required
n resolution. We do not say a little
resolution; it requires good deal of it,
and liberal display of Democratic
pluck and courage. If We would be
victorious it must be gained through in.
Somltable perseverance, iron sided reso.
Setion. unflinching courage, and any
emount Of hard fighting. Those are the
'ssrms and the only terms upon which the
desired object can be obtained, and we
will say here that they suit us to nice
y. The Opposition, it is sure, have got
. nominee that is not the choice Of the
party, neither ia Iowa nor outside of it,
and unless the Baltimore nomination
places our party in the same fix, We be-
aeve that there will be tho prettiest lit
lie political set-to in this State in this
campaign, that was ever known to the
Hawkeye. And not without show of
success either, will this war be waged.
In any event,Ie let the Democracy of Iowa
% up and coming in the contest just so
long as We can keep reducing the major
tsies Of the Opposition, whether we win
q not at present, We are doing good
work; and victory will only be a matter
q time.
Let us get ready then for the fight,
Anc 60 into it with as great degree Of
courage, as though we were in the
majority instead of the minority.
