Not many weeks ago we gave the Da-
venport Democrat credit for political
decency, but candor compels us to say
that we have been victims of misplaced
confidence. That sheet isn't any whittier
than it ought to be, and It it wasn't for
the patronage bestowed upon it by gov
ernment officers under whose noses the
thing is published, it would be as mean
Il rebel sheet as the Chattanooga Rebei,
with less brains. The man who can
make the following appeal is Il misera-
bic sneak, and we don't care q fig wheth-
er his name is Richardson or Parker:
A WORD 10 DEMocR .,Ts.-fhe campaign of 1864
IS inauyuraied. You and each OF you have a
solemn duty to perform. That duty is not to
Gan. Mcclellan, your nomna not - the Dem
ocr:ltic party, nor to the platform of the Demo-
cratic party; it is to our common country
struggling for life she demands all your ener-
ge~ in her time ot peril. SHE has been a good
mother 70 YOU; now stand by her, come what
may; ami the most elective way 10 5erve her is
frsr to mass your strength and remove from
power the present incompetent administration
Shame on you, Richardson, to allow
your political prejudices and partizan
feelings to prompt you to so vile de-
claration. Read the official dispatches
from the brave old "sea dog" who has
achieved another splendid victory for
our flag in Mobile Bay. Read the cheer
ing intelligence OF the triumph OF our
arms under Sherman. Read Grants ap-
peal to the people and his calmly ex-
pressed belief of complete and speedy
victory, if the means be furnished him.
Look over the entire field and see the
rebellion fairly tottering, and requiring
only strong, united efforts from us to
complete its overthrow, and then say if
you will that the most effective way
to serve your country is to remove the
present administration
ARREST OF A ASCOUNDREL.-J. I. Hart,
who decamped from this place about
three weeks ago, was brought back again
last Wednesday night, just two weeks
caught him in Omaha City. There was
found upon his person only about STA,
no clue whatever being discovered as to
what disposition he had made of the
balance of the money. Sheriff McDonel
took Hart to Oskaloosa for confinement.

LANDS FOR SETrLERs.-We are in
formed that the U. s. Land officers in
this city have been notified by telegram
from Washington that the Public lands
in this district are to be held by them
as open for pre-emption and homestead
entries by actual settlers Persons de.
sirous of procuring lands, in this land
district comprising the southwestern
part OF the State) should loose no time
in applying for the same. We are in
formed that there are some 800, 900, acres
of valuable land thus opened for settle

"When Mr.. Nallaniigham returned it was
very natural that the first place he went to
should be a Democratic convention. He thought
Mr.. Lincoln would arrest him. Mr.. Lincoln
knew the fact that at that time there was

of which he may not have been familiar with
but he knew the intention was to make Vailan-

of civil war all over the Northwest. Anxious to

been officially heard from. Their success was
complete. Following Up the line Of the Viz

the forces Of the enemy under Duke, Vaughan,

burned the bridges; reached Ssltyille and utter.
