his own conscience and his oath Of fidelity TO

GETTING Pass TO TRAVEL IN THIS REPUB-
Hc.-Mr. Derrick Adams, Of Clinton county,
contemplating visit to the South, obtained
from Judge Policy certificate certifying that
the said Adams had been during his residence
in Iowa a Democrat of the strictest kind, and
that he has never participated in any Repub-
lcan movements. The Clerk Of the Court
then certified under the great seal Of Clinton
County that Judge Policy is Judge Of Clinton
county, Iowa. Thus provided with pass
Mr.. Adams will doubtless be able to travel
safely from plantation to plantation like any
slave armed with pass from his master.-
Last winter Mr.. A. was South, and while
there had to send to Iowa for a certificate O:
his Democracy! His letters to his wife w.r
opened and examined after they were dlpos-
tied in the Post Office He was also, says
the Lyons IMrorr, waited on by committee
after midnight. who called him out of his bed
to answer certain interrOgatorieS. But Mr.

sound Democrat Of Iowa, and therefore quite
as violent pro- Slavery man as any he may
meet in the South But we object to the
South thus placing premium on Northern
doughfaces.-Dar. Gazette.

deposit your vote for, say, Stephen A. Doug
las. the peoples choice. Following You would
come a big. greasy, sweating, rank, kinky
