affairs, and Immediately, without any addition
al State officers to salary, and under the same
Constitution aud laws, the State expenses more
than double, the first year. Continuing to in
crease year by year, until in 1857, they reach

been 81 cts. per head.
The last year the Democratic party we're in

ton that each Of the one hundred counties Of
the state, pay out $500 for tax-sales, which We
know IS below the sums paid, as none have paid
less, while many have paid three or four times
that sum- In the matter Of state and county
printing the most unwarranted conduct has
marked the course Of those in power Tho
state Legislature refused to receive PROPOSE
sum paid.
Now Fellow citizens, We leave you to draw
your own conclusions. These are the facts, as
they exist. If you approve of Republican pol
cy as here shown, then give that party your
support, but, if you disspprove their policy in
Iowa, then you can do no less than respond to
the call of your Country, and support the prin-
;iples and policy Of the Democratic party.
Very truly yours.
