The ''NO Party Men

Notwithstanding the Democratic por-
ton of the Iowa Legislature, at the
opening of the session, shouted loud
ly for supporting the Government, and
declared that there was no party "
now-"all were for the Cnion," Nc,
1T appears that this zeal only lasted
while there were some Offices and ap-
pointmcnts to be secured, and which
Republicans were green enough to
give them. When it came to support
ing the war, $500, 900 was all they
were willing to give, and this for arm
ing and equipping soldiers 10 stay at
home and defend the State, and not for
the defence Of the General Govern
mcnt. 1t is true they had introduced
and voted for resolutions like the fol-
lowing, and hurried them off to Wash,
ington
Resolred, by the House of Representatives,
the Senate concurring herein, that the faith,
credit and resources of the state OF Iowa, botf
in men and money, are hereby lrreNocapil
pledged to any amount and TO every extern
which the Federal Government may demand
to suppress treason, subduc rebellion, enforce
the laws. protect the lives and property OF al
loyal citizens and maintain inriolate the con
s~titution and sovereignty of the Nation.
Rcsolred, That the Governor and Sccretar.
of State Lc and they are hereby authorized t
forward a certified copy of these resolution
to the President of the United States.
Notwithstanding this movemen
and action on the part Of the Demo
Gratis, it soon became evident tina
with them words were cheap stuff, ant
that instead Of carrying out thi
pledge in good faith, they had deter
mined to cripple the war policy Of tn
State and General Governments as ia
as they had the power to do SC
Words of no-partyism and patriotism
were profuse upon their lips, Will
their acts and votes throughout Il,
session showed that they were actu;
ted solely by motives of party polio.

Celebration of The Glorious Fourth.

Mn. EDrroR Having understood
that an impression has been enter
tanned, that the proposed Fourth OF
July Celebration is designed merely for
the advancement of Education, with
out reference to the objects usually
had in view in its observance, | deem
it proper to disabusc the public mind
of any such idea. The object origl-
nally had in view in proposing the
celebration, and that at present enter
tanned, by myself at least, is to have
the Schools unite with the parents
and public generally, in the exercises
in honor of the birthday of our nation !;
believing that it would add greatly
to the interest of the occasion and that
it is our duty to instruct our children
in the history Of the nation, to inspire
in their hearts a love of country, and
Undue their minds with that patriotic
spirit which now fires the entire
North.
The present year is one in which
our national existence is being threat,
cned =; when rebels against our bclov-
ed government are in arms cXerting
their might to destroy that govern
ment, and those institutions which
have raised our nation to the high pc
sition which it now enjoys. This year
if ever, the people should turn out il
their strength to do honor to the mem
DRY of July 4th, l776, and by their in
tercst evince to their children tina
they value the government under
which they live. All are desired ant
expected to unite in the celebration
parents and children togethcr-an'
we want no half way gathering. IL
ercry shool en- the county prepare to atten
!, IN a body, and let parents and neigh
bors accompany them, that we ma.
, have a good rousinG celebration.

No Party Democracy.

All of q sudden the wire.pullers oil
the Democracy in this State have
abandoned their party character and
become Union Men,! Their game
is to obtain control Of the State. In
those counties where the Democrats
are in a minority they will affect no
partyism and go for "union caucus
es," peoples tickets" and the like,
hoping in this way to sccure a major
ity Of the Legislature, and thus con
troll the re-districting Of the State fol
Members of Congress. Then by the
process of gcrrymandering they will
manage to carve out some very fine
Democratic districts. Our Republi
can friends will do well to beware o.
all "no party" propositions. To be
"forcwarncd is forearmcd."

Some Of the Democratic papers arc
bowling over the appropriations Of
the General Assembly and, in order
to swell up the figures of the State
debt, they first put down the amount
authorized by the Loan Bill and then
add all the various appropriations to
it, when the truth is that these appro-
priations are to be paid out Of the fund
prorided for by the loan. Such is the
honesty and fairness of the partizan
tactics Of Democratic politicians.
