They ure protiting BY the lesson Of the last CAM
paicn, and beyond the barest necessities Of the
Staio Government, they will vote nay On avery
law or resolution appropriating the money or
property Of tue State.
The democrats have aome of their ahrewdest
men in the House that they hare in the State.
Cor. Baker, Judge Cuggett and Mr. Lescheur
arc their leading minds. Every morning aftera
caucus the Democrats come in with a batch Of
resolutions calling on the various State officers
for information concerning the various items Of
their reports. This is the fishing process for
capital. " course tue leaders concoct the
plans, while the tools throw the lines and cut
the bait. Aday or two since batch Of a dozen
or so Of the resolutions were thrown i'll at the
State Auditor. Whenever they will find that
j. ". Cuttelf has audited an unjust claim, or
ii'ched money from the treasury by a fraudulent
warrant, it will be time for us to 90 out ofpowcr,
and If not till then the Democracy will get both
hungry and cold standing Outside.

The impeachment of Judge Claggett, who was
then on the teuch Us District Judge. Thos=
proceedings seem to have seriously Affected the
judges standing with his party, and be seems
to think it worth while to ulnke 4 special effort

can be put but ihe ex~Judge is on his feet and

There is such thing as mun talking linse

It's fashionable now to declaim about tho
Of the North and the wrongs OF the
South. We are told that the South has COM
promised and yielded. and yielded and comp1o-
missed, lii sue has cothiny left, anl that she
must ndev stand upon her constitutional rights:
This is all very vague and inaamr,atory; BUTT
is, perhaps. not popular to suggest that there's
more gas than reality in all ,hese tiradcs: The
South has bad the President Of tie Enited
States forty eigh. years. whilst the North has
had It but twenty -four; whilst the south has
given majority OF her votes for each Que Of
the Northern men who have been elected, with
two or three exceptions; the South has, in tie
meantime, had Z controlling influence in Con-
gress almost always. There il no poliry Of the
Gorern.neat that aoso krisss for whseh tAs South
is not h<rstT rttponstM<. We ask these de-
clalners to name one measure Of aggression.
which they tai: Sc much about. on the Federal
statute book, for which the South is nut as
much responsible as the ..orsh. What particu-
lar act Of aggression is complained OF. Let it
b. specified aud rectitied. Is the South now
dissatisfied with herself! she has bad The
power OF the Federal Govcrument, and If sue is
ill.used, she has herself to blame for it. 1t is
TO be regretted that she can't be satisfied with
her own acts.

tSpecial Correspondence Of the Tre.s and Trbune.1
Ds Iotszs, Iowa. Jan. Il, lst0-
The first week Of tue session Of the eighth
General Assembly of Iowa has passed. The
preliminary matters Of organization hare been
disposed Of, but not without developing the
policy Of the Democratic party Of this State
hcuc=rorth. On Wednesday last Cor. Kirk
wood was inaugura.ed, and read lis inaugural
message; and GA Saturday Hon. james Harlan
was reelected u. S. Senator for six years from
March 18th, 1861. At the Republican caucu. on
Thursday night, he was the unanimous choce
upon the first bolIot: indeed the public mind
has been long settled upon his election. With
tue Democracy, new feature in their policy
seems to he to get rid Of the supcrauuatci in
cumbents Of high positions in her councils, and
fill their plabes with the most vigorous minds
The party contains. Hence General Augustus
Caesar Dodge was finally and easily lc, down
with the farewell complimentary vote Of fifty
two Democrats, for q. 5. Senator.
1t WAS the struggle With Democracy in The
last campaign, ufter it was found that Dodge
could not be elected Governor, to secure the
Legislature, and in consideration OF the distin-
guishcd persona! and financial services of the
General, suppose, he was promised the nom
iuaton for the Z. S. Senate. lie got it and
| cane within twenty vctes Of tyins Mr. 1Iar-
lau. So departs the General, with all his pomp
and feathers. with all his prestige of long scr:
vice, diplomatic skill aud foreign airs, into the
list Of departed and g!orified saints Of Dcmoc-

This false aud ridiculous statement is going

impression sought to be created is, that the

to convey a falsehood to the mind Of the reader,
by leaving him to suppose thnt half at least Of
