FelL0U Citizens: 1t is but seldom that
the history of any country has to record
an event equal in importance and signif-
caucv, to that on the occasion Of which
YOU have assembled here 10 night, in such
mighty numbers Well may you acclaim
it with these outbursts Of YOUR sympathies
and appreciation, for the election Of Ste-
phen A. Douglas as tie Democratic candi-
date for the next Presidency, IN spite OF
Tie factious opposition organized to defeat
it, is one of those triumpAs which cannot
but eIate the pride Of the people, and
strengthen their faith IN the soundness
and loyalty of the party by which it was
effected.
These nominations, which is now being
responded to with such enthusiasm by the
great masses of the people, from one end
Of the Union to the other, has Frustrated
the designs and disconnected the schemes
through which the power of this govern
ment was to be perpetuated in the hands
Of a dissoIute and odious oliearchv. and
the tenure Of our very liberties reduced to
an ab;ect and iononjnous vussaIaoe.
II i an bom9re naid 10 Datrioitic worth,
to moral courage, to lofty intellect; and a
withering rebuke to the aspirations of
those men without talent. without charac-
Ter. without worth Of any kind, whom we
have seen at work, behind the screens,
broodino rebellion against their own party,
determined to cheat the nation out Of her
choice if tbev could do 50 by anv feat of
trickerv. or any process Of corruption.-
loud cheers.)
1t is a barrier thrown up against the
progress Of that agitation which hal of
late, assumed so terrific an aspect and still
menaces the very existence Of the confel
eracy.
It unmasks the agitators, by forcing
them into an ayowal Of their hypocrisy or
an exposure Of their reasonable purposes.
It is a new link to the chain xhich binds
these States together, and will prove a
greater blessing than any that was ever
conferred upon this Union by the party
from which it emanates. Let Us, theu, be
Of good cheer, fellow citizens; We have

DougEas and the Pope.

At this particular juncture, the cause OF
Italian liberty i. immensely popular with
the American people, Mt only OR love
Of liberty, but our admiration for the ltal.
ian hero, and his brave volunteers gives
GREAT stimulus to oar sympathy for the
reyo.u.ionists The Press and Tribune Is
determined to make political capital in
aparty contest here, out Of sympathy for
Italy. How ridiculous. Could 1t not
oct up another rescue case. get somebody

Ifcemen to rur off free negro for few
months, by way Of getting another -four
ish Of its blade at kldnaIPjag. 1t is bet
ter used to this sort of excitement, and
when it sings its old song, the . train
band Of its party can sound every key
note Of such tic. We doubt whether
our cotemporary has acted wisely in aban-
doniue the beaten track. But, however,
this may be, the fact is so. Ne are to
have another tilt at Mr.. Douglas, based
upon Protestant hatred of the Pope, and
popular love Of Italian liberty.
1t is true the Press and Tribune has
not one particle of eUidence that Mr.. Doug
las has subscribed dollar to aid the Pope
or to oppose Italian liberty, or that he ev-
er ioinei the Catholic Church; but what
matters that, the Press and Tribune can
Get along without any evidence. The
bare limiting Of q aid to the Pope" is sut-
ficent on the first charge, while rumor
that Mr.. Douglas while in Rome Joined
Tie Catholic Church is ample on the sec
onl. These are sufficient grounds to
launch into the field of Protestant preju
dice, and garner the harvest. The Rye
House plot has long since demonstrated
that evidence is wholly unnecessary to
prove 'Popish Plot The rights, liber,
tv and interests OF this great nation are to
be tampered with in the midst of most
dangerous and revolutionary excitement
by unfoundcl appeals to the religious pref
udices of the people. Be it so. If the
people Of the United States are capable o
being led away by such unfounded assump
tlons and such unreasoning prejudices, Il
matters out little what follows; for they
would be incapable Of self government
A Democrat who could be influenced BY
such baseless and false appeals to his pref
udioes should get out Of the party at once
he is no Democrat.-Ch Chicago Heratd

"a American politics when be said that lie
did not care whether Slavery was voted
up or voted down" but, regarding this
Italian question as a touchstone by which
all mems professions to the popular cause
may be tested, we point out to the people
of the Northwest the fact that tie pocket
of our Senator has been made to feel the
cost of priestly and despotc rule in the
Old World.
Rumor will have it that this money was
TIE more confidently asked for because of
the Senator'S relation to the Catholic
Church, relation which in fact amounts
/ on his part to unlimited submission to the
spiritual and temporal authority of the
wicked woman Of Babylon. 1t is said
! that when he visitel Europe few years
ago, he at Rome submitted to the Church,
and in personal interview with the Pope
was received as lost sheep returning to
the fold. We DO not vouch for the story.
But we we'll remember that while he was
abroad such rumor came home and we
| know that latter events have done nothing
to discredit it. His alliance with Cath
olic family the steady, constant and I'M
portant support accorded to him by the
priests and Iaymen of the Church the
fact that every Catholic newspaper IN the
United States is for him, that on recent
occasion, the Archbishop of New York
John, the American Primate, attended a
meeting to forW ard his claims, these
points, if not unerlingly, with sufficient
certainty to comDlete understanding with

IRON ORE.-The presence of this mineral
in the bluffs surrounding Ottumwa, is fact
mentioned in the Geology of Iowa, and gene
rally known to our citizens but it has been
a prevailing opinion that it did not exist in
sufficient quantities tojustify working it
We have received information within few
days past, from two young man engaged in
mining coal in this vicinity, and who are ia
miliar with the iron mines and manufactures
Of England, that goes far to shake our conf
dence in the generally received opinion in
relation to this subject. Welearn from these
gentlemen, that they have discovered de
post of iron. quite extensive, and capable of
yielding some GO per cent. of fine metal, and
in the same locality fire clay, and limestone,
the ingredients used in smelling the ore,
with coal Of course, which is also abundant
in the same locality, This fact is important
and should be known. We call the atten-
ton of manufacturers to it. We can see no
reason why we cannot have furnace for
smelling the ore, and for casting pig metal,
under way at once. Here is the ore, the
coal, the fire clay, and the limestone, all in
the same place, and a market for all that
could be supplied.
