EXPENDITURES.

The Fayette Go. Pioneer in an
article appearing in recent num-
Der of that paper, shows conclu-
sively that the present party hold
ing the public purse in Iowa, is
utterly unworthy longer to hold
that position, to the people. 1t
reviews fully the question of State
and County Printing throughout
the State, and shows that the re-
suit has invariably been the same.
1t IS proper to state that the Pio-
neer takes no part in politics.
Of the State printing it says
When the State printing was to be
let by the General Assembly at its last
session, a Democrat proposed to do the
work for forty per cent, lower than the
price that is paid to Republican for
doing it, and give bond in any reason
able amount that might be asked, that
he would faithfully perform the work in
good and satisfactory manner; but
notwithstanding the State printing was
given to Republican at once and a hale
as much as Democrat would have done
it for.
The people are now grooming
under a weight Of taxation almost
intolerable, their property is now
advertised, and will speedily be
sold under the hammer to sup.
port the Republican party in its
lavish waste of the public money,
the pains and penalties of the law
and the exorbitant interest charg-
3D. is, without a parallel in the
history Of any state, or of any 9th.
er party in the american Union.
In abiding to our tax list it
says:

ocratic and the other Republican, ant

rent or sanction Of Constitutional
law would with the Garrisons
the Phillips, and the Beechers
denounce the Constitution, as
they do, ifwith them they believ.
ed itreconized slavery in any OF
its forms. And it seems to us
, that the GarisonionS are more
justifable in heir course than the
class of Republicans to which we
allude. The Garisonions believe
slavery to be a moral a social and
political evil that oyerrides all
iother sins, and blots out all other
inlquity; and that though it has
the sanction Unconstitutional law
they are justified upon every
principle of right and Of justice
IN overturnlng constitution in
educating or PERMITTING the exist
ence of such an institution. The
Republicans Of this vicinity and
the questioner of Judge Clark with
them, unite in the belief that the
Constitution is an anti-slaverv doc
ument, that it does not in any
manner recognize OF permit the
existence of American slavery; vet
they with these sentiments declare
that it is not their purpose to In
terfere with it where it exists by
laH!!!
It seems to us that their premi-
SEES do not justify them in keeping
hands off, and that the JOHN
Browns, of the country are the
better opponents of their princi-
pies. The Democratic party de-
plore the existence Of slavery
everywhere, yet they recognize
the right of each separate COM
to act for themselves in
that matter, and that the Consti-
tuition of the u. S. will sustain
them in enforcing whatever
they make for Or
against the existence of the insti-
tuition. Consequently our posi-
ton as party is one Of neutrality
when directly interested
IN its adoption or rejection, not
because we love slavery but be-
cause We respect the Constitution
and the law, and recognize the
the right Of man everywhere to
adopt such institutions as are in
his judgment best adapted to
his wants.

than justified our remarks ofhim
last week. His school appears
to be reasonably well patronized

We have no doubt bat that a ma

THE DIFFERENCE.

IHE DIFFERENCE.
At the discussion at this place
q few days since Judge Clark, in
deploring the evil times upon
which we have fallen, in terms of
regret alluded 70 the fact that a
large number ofpersons have seen
fit to pronounce "the Constitution
of the U. S., a league with death
and a covenant with hell. And
this though said unconnected with
any a!luslon to any Of the politi-
cal parties Of the present day, fit
ted SO snugly, that one of the
prominent Republicans of the
county felt called upon to inter-
rupt the Judge, demanding that
he name the persons who had said
this, and the party with which
they act Now it seems imma-
terial SO far as the point sought
to be made is concerned who
made the statement, while all
those endorsing it respon d to the
principles, and support the can
didatcs of the Republican party.
We are ofthe opinion that those
denouncing the Constitution as a
covenant with hell, do so because
they believe it expressly recogni-
zes the right of the several local
communities known as States or
Territories, to regulate and estab-
fish such institutions (including
slavery, as to them seem proper
hence they denounce the consti.
tuition, in the way and manner
alluded to in the language quoted
by Judge Clark. Others acting
with the same political organiza
ton, and among them, the person
questioning Judge Clark, den,
that the constitution in any man
ner recognizes property in Slaves
or the right Of the States to enac
laws to recognize and protect tina
kind Of property. Is there an,
thing clearer than that the ques
toner of Judge Clark, and thos'
believing with him that the exis
tence Of slavery is without war

Mr.. S. J. Handley is stopping at the

tain the right to manufacture, use and
vend, this truly labor-saving soap, are
invited to call and examine the article,
and test its quality. We understand
it to be q very cheap article, costing
only about one cent per pound for soft
soap. and four for hard. tits unuues-
tionably the cheapest, and if it is as
recommended, the best article of the
kind manufactured, 1t is surely worth
the attention of the public. Mr.. Law
yer, who has all the ingredients Of which
is composed, Informs US that the
above statement of its cost may be re
lied upon, and that there is nothing
in it that will damage the articles up
on which it is used, or injure those
using it. Having tested its efficiency
we cheerfully recommend it as the gen
uine thing.

the Plaindealcr proposed to publish

.ssSs<,es--c.s
the Plaindealcr proposed to publish
the whole delinquent list Of that county
for $25, and gave bond and security for
the faithful performance Of the contract
but it awaited nothing, the Republican
paper got the work at full price, and
as it appears in that paper fails to be
legal from the fact that the names Of
the owners are not given. With these
facts before us, together with the man
ner in which the advertising was let in
this county, we are forced to come to
the conclusion that it is understood that
wherever Republican paper is pub
lishcd in a county in whose Ireasurers
office offtciates 4 Republican. that pa
per will advertise the delinquent lands
Of that county, in spite of all the low
bids that may be made for it.
That is the true record; that is
a specimen of the economy with
which the Republican party man.
age the finances.
Look at it, Taxpayers, and
when you reflect that in this coun-
ty the Treasurer & Recorder has
already drawn from your pockets
nearly the sum Of $500, with a
large sum yet unpaid, to pay for
a job that we offered to do for S25,
we know that as sensible men,
you can only feel to rebuke his
reckless waste Of your money
Here was an opportunity for the
Treasurer to save nearly his en-
tire. salary, yetln defiance Of ey-
cry principle that would actua,e
men in the management
Of their own affairs he draws from
the pockets Of those already over
burdened with taxation, this
heavy sum, for what we offered to
do. and would gladly have done
for s25. Our proposition would
have cost the taxpayers only
about one cent for each descrip-
ton; hence is it not clearly the
duty of the Treasurer upon every
principle Of right to pay from his
own pocket whatever sum he has
allowed for the work in advance
of our offer!
Farmers! Tax-Payers!! when
YOU see your Homestead sold! your
last COW sacrificed! when YOU sell
your wheat for one fourth its val
ue to meet this recklessness re-
member that those bringing these
Ills upon you are Republicans,
that they are responsible for it
all, and that while they clamor
for the passage ola Homestead

lation in iowa would exile you
from the homes bought with your
own money, made comfortable by
your own sweat and toll, and rem
dered dear by the associations of

VI Llle ldllUcalCr.
Mr.. Editor;
| have repeatedly been
asked as to which faction of the Democ-
cray belong, to which question I have
always been ready to reply, except
once.
Last Friday on being called to the
chair on the part of the democrats in the
discussion between Col. Warren and
Judge Clark, was again asked the
same question, but considering it nei-
Their the time, or place, declined answer
ing then. | now answer that belong
to the National Democratic Party, and
that it endorses as sound doctrine,
list. That the people of the L. S..
are capable Of self government.
2nd. That the inhabitants Of q Ter
ritory like those of a State, have the ex
elusive right to make laws regulating
their domestic institutions, NEGRO sla-
very included believing as we do that
it requires no higher or purcr lesisla-
tive sagacity to legislate between mas
ter and servant than between guardian
and ward, or husband and wife.
3rd. That the Congress of the u. S
has no more Constitutional right to Gre
ate or to impose restrictions upon the 10
cal laws of a Territory. than upon those
OF State, except in cases where the
act Of cession, or treaty stipulations en-
tered into in it's acquisition, render
such legislation necessary.
4th. That Congress by such unau-
thorized legislation, assumes to act for
the people without their consent, and in
violation of the fundamental principles
Of Republican form of government. l
have endeavored to give my answer in
language so plain as to not be misun-
dcrstood. Will our opponents who hold
that it is the duty of Congress never
to admit another slave State, tell me as
unequivocally, what they would do with
a Territory having the requisite popu-
lation, (93,400) and applying for admis-
sion into the union with con stitutien
legalizing slavery; and if they would
rejectit for that, will they tell me what
they propose doing with it, and wheth-
err it is their purpose that it shall re-
main out of the Union aoith slavery; or
would they use the army Of the U. s.,
to force it into the Union aoithout sla-
very? These questions it seems to me
are pertinent to the issues they present.
Will they answer them?

THE DISCUSSION.

1t is not our purpose in this
article to say. that, at the discus.
sion held between Judge Clark
and Col. Warren at this place last
week, that either demolished the
other, but we shall give the
views entertained by each Of them
and advocated as the prominent
features ofthe party they sustain,
so far as memory and space will
premit. We consider the speech
of Judge Clark, a decided success,
but are willing that the people
shall Judge the merit of the two
parties upon presentation of the
views of each. The opening
speech was made by Col. Warren
in which he assumed that there
was no power under the Consti-
tuition to acquire Territory and
that all the acquisition of Terri
tory not included in the original
thirteen colonies and the territory
over which they exercised right
full domain, was in derogation of
that instrument, and that our
right to it was only equivalent to
the right given in other cases
when fraud and wrongare the lead
ing characteristics of the acqui-
sition. If this theory be true, then
the [. S: arc under the same obi
cations morally, to restore the
Territory included in the Louisa
ma purchase to France, that of
Florida to Spain, and California
to Mexico, that the horse thief or
the swindler is to restore the
property acquired by either ofthcir
arts. These arethe logical conse-
quences of his position, though
the amount of force necessary TO
reduce the American Union to
what his views are, of it's cons IT,
tutional limits can not be so ca
silly arrived at. In regard to a
Fugitive slave bill his reasons
were equally impracticable and
directly opposed to the views Of
the party here. While expressly
admitting the Constitutionality of
slavery, and the duty ofthe North
to render up Fugitives, he posi-
lively denied the right of the
South to law providing for their
rendition. Judge Clark, in re-
plying to these extraordinary
positions showed that in the adj
option of the Constitution, the
trainers provided for the admis-
sion of new States, which carried
with it the power to acquire the
Territory out of which they were
to be formed; that in the acqui-
sition of territory and in the ex-
tension of our institutions to the
people thereof, we were but pro-
viding for the common defence
of our institutions, promoting the
general welfare and securing to
ourselves and our posterity the bless
ings ofliberty, establishing justice up
on an enduring basis; forming more
perfect union and ensuring domestic
tranquility therein, by extending our
institutions to every people on the
face of Gods footstool prepared to re-
ceiyc them. He showed that the flu
gltive slave bill, instead Of making
the people Of the North slave catchers
only provided for calling them out
when the execution Of process should
be resisted.

Mr.. Breckenridge delivered in the House very
good eulogy on Mr.. Clay, and has probably made

Lane, who was ODE of the inventors OF the Jack
son party in Indiana, ran for Congress and was
beaten sundry times, but finally ran in on the top
of the Jackson wave in -, and was again elected
in "a when he subsidized. We seem to remember
that the son made his way into the Legislature OF In
diana some fifteen or twenty years ago, and know
that he volunteered in the Mexican War; wherein
he was made Colonel, which title has expanded,
under careful nursing, into that of General. We
have seen him called "the Marion of the Mexican
"War," but cannot recall any exploit which would
seem to Justify that title. He emigrated or was

On the whole the Douglas men have no
reason to complain of the ticket pitted against
them. Next to Caleb Cushiog and JEFF. Davis,
this is az good ticket to against as they could
have made if the selection had been cOnfded to
their own hands We predict that Douglas and
