1t must be evident to the MOST cas-.
xa' observer, whether Of the Demo
cratic party or not, that the Democrat.
lc party is in a state Of anarchy and
Reorganization. II is not necessa ~
for us to 90 back and point out t. c
cause or persons who have been ipstru:
mental in bringing the party ID Iowa

For cur part We believe in, and hold
to, tie principles Of Democracy as
enunc:ated by JEFrERs ", and prac-
Iced by MONROE, Madison, JACKSON
and their Democratic successors to the
Presidency. Il strue with Us, and We
suppose it is also true with thousands

with all these illustr:ous men in re-
gard to t,.c enyire policy Ct tiseir al
'nlh'strations; but up'n the main is
sues all who now claim the name cf
Democrat have agreed. In conse-
qvance of th.s disagreement u.on nj
nor points, Democrats have, in order to
produce harmony in the purity, adopted
a line Of policy which has gradually
led the party away from principle un-
IL the party is now almost .ut Of sight
II the ancient landmarks which used to
guide into the paths that lead to tl,
foundation npon which our Govern.

shall democrats attempt to regain
their lost latitude to fad the haven
from whence they first started, aad
