SCOTT COUNTY DEMOCRACY

The following are few Of the resolu
tions passed by the Scott County Dem
ocrac-, II convention assembled at
Davenport on the 81 inst.
Reso1ced, That We the Democracy ol
Scott County, are in favor Of a peace
ful settlement of our national di.licul-
ties.
Rcsolce7, That we are pleased to
know that the present leaders of the
Southern Confederacy, during all the
early part Of the last session OF Con
gress, were ready and anxious to bring
about fair and honorable settlement
Of our national troubles.
Pesolved, That we do censurc thc
leade,s Of the Republican party for the
unprincipied manner in which they
treated their brethren of the South when
making every effort to bring about a
peaceable and honorable solution Of our
difficulties, and that we hold the Repub-
lican party (now thoroughly abolitioniz-
eD responsible for the national dlliicul
ties now upon lis.
Rcso1red That we most heartily en-
dorsc the call Ct d. \. Mahony for the
Democratic State Convention Of Iowa,
rs postponed, and that the sentiments
therein set forth are truly just and lem
ncratic and hence, patriotic.
ReseZced, That il our opinion, the
war now being wagel by the present
Republican Administration against our
brothers Of the South, is wholly lmcall
ed for, unnecessary, unconstitutional
and antagonistic:l to tue highest and
best interests Of oar once happy coun
try, and that we will nsc al honorable
means to discourage il, and bring about
a peaceful ISOLATION Of Our present
trouble.
Now if the Democracy of the State
are prepared to adopt these sentiments
they will be whipped so high and dry
in the coming fall election, that it will
be a great question with the people to
know whether they went to the polls or
not. The Rattlesnakes had it all their
own way. The Union Democrats op-
posed the resolutions but without effect.
They finally offered to compromise the
matter by offering the following, which
was voted down, instanter:
Resolre1, That no State has right
to sccede from the Union Of these
States.
Resolved, That we are in favor Of 4
peaceful solution Of our present nation
III difficulties, by national convention
Of all the States, and if it cannot be set
tied in this manner, that we arc in ia
yor Of putting down, by force, all in
surrection against the general Govern
mcnt.
Such is the rascally ,abominable course
of the majority of the Democracy in
Scott. Will it be the same i'll Tama ?
We have always said that great share
of the Democracy were rotten at heart
and loved their country only for the
spoils. And now we have 4 glorious
opportunity Of telling who they arc
Single yourselves out, gentlemen. You
who arc for the Union stand upon this
side, and you who are for the spoils and
the South, stand upon that. We will
separate you as shepherd divides his
sheep from the goats.

Meeting In Marshall.

We clip the following account of a
railroad meeting in Marshall from the
Ioaca Tolley Nesos new and very re-
spectacle paper just started in Marshall
town.
sThe stock holders Of the C. r. &
NJ. r. Railroad Co., met at the Court
House III pursuant to notice.
John Fisher jr., was called to the
chair and F. N. Chaplin was chosen
secretary.
| Sylyanus Rice was called upon to
state the object of the meeting. He
said the contractors for building the
road TO Marshall, proposed to put on the
iron to Marshall, this season if the
Stockholders would grade it and puHon

ledo, wovld grade, to within fifteen
miles Of this place-thought, it might
be done, if Stockholders would make
their subscriptions arailable-was will

the road and push it on to completionl
Captain Rice, said he was willing to
pay up his stsck. Mr.. Utz, wished to
know if company would finish the work
in case the stock, subscribed on the
route should be inadequate to its COM
pleton-he had been informed that not
more than l-l6 of the stock subscribed
in Toledo, could be made available.

Of the roads completion this season.
Mr.. Fisher, Stated that gentlemen pres
ent, at former meeting, connected with
the road, said that the Toledo stock
holders, were wiling to make their
subscriptions Immediately available.
Mr.. Utz, wished to know ii we would
be expected to grade the road and lay
down the ties. Mr.. Fisher said yes.
James L. Williams, thoreht we would
be expected to do more than we had
done, makiag m for deficiency in Tama
Co Capt. Rice, understood that al
that was required Of us, was to pay
what we had agreed to-he believed
they would supply the sufficiency-did
not think they expected us to grade
and tic the road, we are not able to
would not agree to do it. n. p. Gregg
Esq, did not know whether the action
of this meeting would be binding on the
stockholders legally but they would be
morally. Stock taken by him was
with the understanding tha. it was to
be worked out in this county and not
till they would reach the county. Capt.
Rice, said that work would probably
be commenced on the whole line and
they could work in the county. s. Rice
did not think there was five hundred |
dollars worth Of bad subscription-he
was for his country first, Rail road
next.
4 resolution was offered by VIM.
Bremner, which elected considerable
discussion from Smith, Brclnner, Brown
Rice and Gregg.
A substitute was finally offered by 7
Brown and carried. That the stock
holders make their subscription availa-
ble before the first Of January 1862
upon conditions OF subscription.
I'VE are unable to give the exact
language Of the Resolution as it was
not returned to us.
Suggested by Gerhart that stockhol-
dsrs subscribe to the rcsolution,-w which
wos done BY all present. Moved and
carried to appoint committee 70 con-
fer with the Contractors. Rice, Brown
and Click were appointed by the Chair.
