Daily Democrat and news. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1859-1864, 1860-07-09

A large publication house in Paris is
ABBOTT to issuSa work u thSse parts,
descriptive Of tie Territorils Of Sonora,
New Mexico ami he SNte Of Iowa, to
be Handsomely illustrated. This office
has undertaken to furnish material for
the description Of the last mentioned,
which will be sent to Paris as soon - it
can lie arranged and translated into
French. A pamphlet is also being pre-
pared descriptive Of the State Of Iowa,
for the use Of emigrants, to be destribut-
cd over all parts OF Germany.
But allow me to state Lere that we
are sadly in want OF maps and discrip-
tons of the different counties of our
State. Up to this time We have only
received maps OF four counties, and even
Scott county has as yet neglected to
send ooe. Every kind of statistical ma
terial, whether 10 the shape of pamph-
let's, books, newspapers, etc., will be
thankfully received, aud if some Daven-
potter would seLd US view OF our beau
tiful city, to hang up in the ofice-the
same hint wish to give to other cities
of the State-it would be very accepta-
bic, and would demonstrate better than
language, what beautiful and growing
country we have out west. But espe-
cially do we want descriptions Of every
county, for the many letters Of inquiry
regarding particular portions Of the
State, which pour in daily, render this
very important.
To-day the Great Eastern is thrown
open to public inspection at 81 admit
lance. Of course this price will be low
cred soon, or else the whole matter will
turn out but a poor speculation. To-
day, however, visitors arc crowding, and
everybody is ANXIOUS to be able to say,
"Vldi have seen her." Thus excite
ment crowds upon excitement. First
the Japanese, who arc now pronounced
= humbuy, now the Great Eastern, which
will shortly be called Great Humbug
and the next is the illustrious Sir John
c. Heenan, who will probably be an il
lustrious humbug. AS an extra dose We
have new Mrs. Cunningham in tho
person of Mrs. Walton, the horrible
murder of whose husband you vii
doubtless have heard Of The Inquest
on Walton's body is fixed for Thursday
when interesting developments may b.
expected. A. K.
APPEAL 70 TRE DEMOCKACY OF
| IOWA.
FELLow-DEMocRATs The action O
Delegates to the National Democrat,
Convention both at Charleston and Bal
timore, by which the unity of the pat,
is threatened with dissolution, impose,
upon the Democrats throughout tn.
U nion new obligations and peculiar du
ties. The unfortunate, and as l bel eve
unwise and unwsrranted disruption O.
the National Convention, by which DIFF
f.rent tests of Democracy have beer
enunciated on question which is pure
~ judicial and not political in its char
acter, and which has resulted 10 placing
in nom nstiou for the support of the
party two candidates for the Presiienc,
and for the Vice Presidency of the
Uulted States, makes it imperative upor
all those who are opposed to plac nc
the Government in the control If sec
tional party to take counsel with each
other as to the course best calculated to
preserve the unity t the only National
political orga",z ton in the coun ~, the
only patty which can preserve the Amer.
lean Union from the dissolution.
1t is with the impression OF these senti.
ments upon my mind, and tn the most
gloomy porten OF tho result of divis.
ion a d distraction in the Democratic
P rty that l address you. The relation
which ] hold to you as Chairman o.
your Executive Committee shall b. nv
excuse for assuming position which III
der the -tance-, may appear AFRO.
CANT and presumptuous.
For sixty years, the Democratic Party
has preserved q un ty of sentiment, Of
doctrine and Of action, and during mos,
Of this period the Federal Cover nmen,
and most OF the State Governments have
been admins cred 10 accordance with
its political dogmas 1t NAV we'll be
questioned whether the same amount OF
prosperity, unexamyled in the history O.
nations, could have been secured to the
country by Government administered
upon the principles of any of the par
ties which have all the time been in on
position to the National Democratic Par
~. And now shall this party which
gave vitality to the principles of self
government and nursed them into vioo,
and strength, demonstrating to the wo1 ID
that they were conductive to tire pros
petity and happiness Of mankind, shall
this party be Dissolved! Hitherto uni
form line Of policv has been indicated b,
successive Democratic Conventions, aue
political principles cnunciated in v h ct
the party IN every section of the Unjo,
have acqoiesced. Why is it that diff
ierent course has been pursued at tn,
late National Democratic Convention
Why have two different declaration O
principles been enumerated and d;ff.,on
