this mornings issue denouscss the Eight
Hour League Of Davenport IS society run
by the Johnsonite and Cook gucrnllas, who
are determined to observe ncishsr political
honesty oe common decsocy with thsss
who differ with them in political visvs.-
This means that the members Of the Eight
Hour League Of Davenport have too much
common sense to allow Hiram Price to pros
titute their organization to partisan ma
chine TO help insure him his regular Is, 900
a year. It means that his puritanic cir,
insinuating address, and iniinitable flow Of
''soft sawder'' can't pull the wool over sbe
eyes Of mcn who are struggling for . great
social object, and not for the political and f.
nancial aggrandizement Of one horse dem
agogue. II means tha. Mr.. Price couldn't
come the negro-sufIrage dodge on half the
society, and the "white mans government
on the other hall, and make both sides be-
lisve in his honesty, political capacity, and
disinterested patriotism. 1t means that the
society bad no business to let the King bal.
ance himself on whisky barrel for IN hour
and forty five minutes, to the supreme
amusement OF contumacious rebels, wander.
ing artists, and mercisss small boys. It
means that the society didn't invite the
King to place himself right in his congres-
sional record, as the Fenians did, aud didn't
give him chance to prove oil sorts Of things
from the Congressional Globe, which couldn't
have been snbstantiated ON the following
dav. 1t means that the society didn't give
the King an accidental opportunity to abuse
every man who wouldn't vote to send him
to Congress, rs it might, could snd should
have done. II means that the King cvacu-
ated lis position on the whisky barrel in
great vexation Of spirit, and bid his tool at
tine Briton ctice to smite the eight hour mcn
on hip aud thigh, till his Unsuitable ven
geance should be appeascd. It means ;hst
hence forward the eight hour men will Pc
ccive IA regular dose Of British spleen, till
the abundant supply now on hand has fairly
run out.

the prospects are that there will be no ma
terial change during the present month. .
