In very recent speech before the Union
Clubs in New York, Mr.. Hunt said:
If the election is carried TO the House of Re-
representatives., he had never doubted the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bell by that body. His known
moderation and freedom from extreme parti-
sanship, would make it easy for all parties to
unite on him as compromise. Whatever
some seditionists may say, be believed the mass
of the Republicans would demand that their
| representatives terminate the contest by voting
ior him. But Il we arc disappointed in this
belei, and they actiously prevent an election
/ in the HOUSE, thsy will have the satisfaction
Of seeing Mr.. Everest chosen BY the Senate

johnson County Democracy.


The gallant Democracy of join son
connty, not at all daunted by the trcach-
cry of the proprietor of the Democratic
newspaper there, are taking steps TO-
wards establishing an organ without de-
lay. A meeting of the Democracy of
Iowa City has been held, and commit
tee appointed to attend to the ork, and
in a very short time we doubt not an
able Democratic paper will be put in
circulation. There is no lack of energy
or stint of means exhibited by those no.
BILE Democrats. They feel sure of car
rylng Johnson county for Douglas by a
handsome majority, and from what we
know of the Democratic pluck of that
community, we have no doubt but that
they will speedily overcome all obsta-
cles, and on the eth of November next,
raise on high the old Democratic
rooster.
The Republicans, in buying out the
Reporter office, and establishing a Sec
ond Republican organ, have brought a
tirc-brand in their own house-have
created division bitter as gall in their
own family circle, and the effect will be
nothing more than defeat.
Democrats, Of Johnson county, take
courage and make the fight fierce one.
GU are on tho inside track, lose no
time in establishing sound Democratic
organ, and see that it is we'll cir culatcd
The battle is not to the strong; is is to
the vigllant, the active, and the brave
Take courage, then, and you will be sure
Of victory.

state Democratic Elk. Committee.
Davenport DemOcracy.

The immense demonstration at LIE
Claire Hall on Thursday night, shows
very satisfactorily that the Democratic
camp-tires, which have seemingly been
smouderlng away, needed only to be
stirred up little to rouse them to their
original heat and brllliancy. Obedient
to the call the Democratic masses pour
ed ont in overwhelming numbers to in
augurate upon firm basis a Douglas
and johnson Club, for the purpose OF
disseminating Democratic principles,
and promoting the interests Of the nomi-
nees OF the National democracy in this
township. The meeting was not only
large and enthusiastic, but in addition to
this, and what adds strength to the
movement, the greatest unanimity OF
feeling prevailed. All the ancient feuds
and pqnes, and jeslousies of whatever
nature or kind, had been sunk and lost
IN the sea of forgettulness, never, we
trust, to arise more. The only aim and
Object seemed to be to inaugurate speedy
means for strengthening the party, and
carrying on the present Presidential
campa gu. In double quick time after
that veteran Democrat, Hcrvy Hills, had
been called to the chair. a committee
was appointed to draft Constitution
for the government Of the Club.
Pending the action of the committee
several stirring and effective speeches
were made, to which the people respon-
ded with loud applause.
The Committee OH Constitution sub
United the report, which was accepted
and adopted without the least discussion
or objection, and as soon as the crowd
present could attach their names thore.
unto, motion was carried to proceed to
the election of officers by acclamat;on
The names were proposed and the work
was soon over. The officers chosen are
OF the right stamp, and will prove &C.
tive and efficient men.
The entire mind of the Convention
was oentered upon the elevation of that
sterling young Democrat, George NJ.
Van Hosen, to the Presidency of the
Club, to which he was elected by a
hearty "aye" Of every one present.
The other officers were elected with
the same degree Of unanimity.
Now that the initiatory step has been
taken and the Democracy awakened to
action, we hope to see every man come
up to the work with willing heart and
strong hand, nor turn back while there
remains an enemy in the field. The
Democracy of old Scott county are
bound to make a big fight over this
election.
Now is the time to wade in.
