Tho Iowa Democracy have taken the field
with set Of principles whose prominent
features are patriotic, conciliatory aud poll
&c. After affirming their adhesion to the
time honored principles Of the party, tho
resolutions emphatically indorse tho policy
Of President johnson in his attempt to Sc
cure the loyal representatives Of the South
admissi0n into Congress. To secure the
great end and ain d union, the Iowa Dem>
ocracy announce that they will co operate in
conventions, public meetings and at tho
polls with ill men Who desire the immediate
restoration Of the Union. This is exactly
right. Il 10 peculiarly the business Of
Democrats to labor for such result. When
ever two men arc found working for the
union, whether in conventions, At public
meetings, tr 1t the polls, both these men
are Democrats. They arc Democrats in the
full, present and ancient meaning Of the
term, regardless Of what they may call
themselves or DO called by others.

The Davis Trial.

The charge which Judge UNDERWOOD
gave to the trumped-up jury, in the DAVIS
trial for treason, shows, conclusively, what
are the elements of which the surface
demagogue is made up. He is a humbug
and malignant, and cannot be expected
to preside with either dignity, justice, OF
impartiality. Anadventurcr from Yankee
dom, picked up in an obscure law Office in
the bastard State $50 callcd) of "West Vir-
ginia," To grace the supreme bench--as
monkeys are supposed to grace pole, the
higher its elevation they reach-what else
can he expected Of him than the trickster-
ing of demagogue and the imbecility OF
an ass! He proposes, in this DAVIS case, tc
make treason odious,' point of infamy
which, as he has set ont, he will only reach
himself!

3 NOV York Yribune remarks :

The New York Tribune remarks:
"Those who clamor for an early adjourn
ment of Congress, should remember that
five of the most important measures of the
session yet remain TO be finished: The Tax
bill, the Reconstruction bill, the Appropri-
alton bill, the Freedmen's Bureau bill. and
the Equalization Boumties bill" In
The greater part of this lengthy session
has been devoted to mere slangwhangine
on these very topics-the whole country
has been continually agitated about them
and yet no one of them has been perfected
in its atrociousness or passed into law
The pro1igacy Of all the Congresses com,
bined, since the Constitution was adopted
would not reach the infamy of the present
one, yet there is great party who seem moi
to weaken in their Jealous support of it
seeing nothing in its destructiveuess tC
condemn.

The Douglas Monument-The Eu-



lOgy.
The acceptance by President JOHNSON OF
the Committees invitation to be present at
the laying of DOUGLAS Monument corner
stone, at Chicago, and participate in the
ceremonies of the occasion, probably AS the
orator, has afforded the Times an oportuni-
ty to allndc, in fitting terms, to the appro-
priateness of Eaving an eminent statesman,
of national views, chosen for this service.
DOUGLAS" says that journal, ''was the son
of the nation and il is proper that, upon
AN occasion so momentous rs that devoted
to rearinga monument to his memory, the
chiei actor should be representative of all
the people. The man who accompanies the
initial ceremonials of the DOUGLAS Monu-
mcnt association with words of eulogy,
should be n mouthpiece not of a north or a
south, but of u nation.
1The words will he spoken not by one from
Illinois nor by one from Tennessee, but by
one who is the representative of all the
states Kentucky and New York, Maine
and Texas, Massachusetts, and South Caro-
lima will unite to form the utterances which
will be given over the grave of one who
knew no State or boundary, but only the
whole union"
President Johnson and Secretary SEW
ARD have both accepted the invitation, the
condition being that the event shall be de-
ferred till after the adjournment of Con-
grcss.

.The Next War"

The Canadian and Fenian embrogifo is
rapidly assuming shape. Telegraph news,
although meager, is interesting. We give
the special points. The release of prison
ers. on unimportant conditions, is a feature
of no small import. But the official order
of the Attorney General, to the District
Attorneys and Marshals of the Govern
ment, is peculiarly worded document
which, acted upon, according to its read
ing, will produce no little excitement, al
over the country.
1t is conclusive, however, that ''the next
war" is not yet fought out. Events are
rapidly approaching, and the future is ""'
distant

of Western Reserve republicanism, has
the candor to express itselfagainst the Con-

The bane of the Union party In Congress
has been its strength. With smaller

to pet theories, and whose uindietiveness
towards rebels, utterly disQudlify from eser-
