Dust as we 90 to press we receive the
call for State Convention Of all persons
opposed to negro Suffrage and in favor of
sustaining President Johnson's plan q
recons tructng the States recently in re-
bellion. It seems to be the purpose Of the
people Of Iowa to have nothing but living
issues in the coming campaign. The
rebellion is over-slavery is gone-and
now men who think alike must act alike
and save the country. The people must
say in October whether Iowa shall be
given over to the black man or preserved
for white men and their posterity.

"The colored man and the white man
cannot live together in this country they
must, will separate, unless the Congress
of the nation will give them a place for
them seves, for as it was with Abraham
and Lot, SO it is with US, aud the sooner
we seek home for our rising generation,
the better it will be for us. Our final des.

three hundred years it will be rear thing
to see q colored man in this country
Like the Indians. our race is destined to
become extinct in this country unless we

The Republicans who, some time since,
were declaring the Democratic party dead,
are now asserting that it not onlr exists,
but full of vitality and hope of the future.
The Indianapolis correspondent Of the
Chicago Republican says:
"The political situation seems to be
slightly critical. Prominent and i'll. Aen.
tiai leaders Vi tho Republican party have
their hands full in trying to stave of the
negro suffrage question. while the Julean
ties manifest a logged determination t,
force it on the people, even at tho expense
of a split IN the party, resulting in h.
triumph Of C)pperhead;. In the mean
time, the enemy, with forces well in hand,
and nothing Of that inevitable despotism
Of party decipliue relaxed, watches and
waits for an opportunity to regain lost
power. Democracy is hopoful--aImost
defiant. 1t has preserved its organization
through series Of defeats that would
have crushed the life out Of any system
less perfect.
I. is, at this day, the best representa-
ton Of strenglh-the most striking illus
tration Of The value Of d,sciplne--to he
found in the world Democracy is the
bundle Of rods, weak AMI easily broken
individually, but showing wonderful pow
ers Of resistance when compaoted and SOL
idfed by the pressure of party drill"

Il lev a.
that President johnson was dead, the
question as to who would be bis successor,

died.
