Of solving the negro question in truly
Southern way, is still going on in all parts of

sTnL ONT oF HUMOR.

We have noticed the fact that BowNAS, of
the Dubuque Herald, is mad. He is faith
full Butternut, and honest withal he has
pluck and spirit, and doesn't like to be sold
ont to the Possums. He pitches into the re-
cent Democratic Fusion State Convention.
He is severe upon DANIEL F.. he rsps CLAe-
Erf's political knuckles; he thinks DEAN has
backslidden, and discourses thus of the But
ternut Fusion Conventicle
The political mountebanks we're present in
force. At the club-rooms, on Tuesday night,
they were jumping their puppets in the most
lively manner, greatly to the amusement of
rural delegates and gentlemen from the Slope.
D. +. Miller-whose highest qualifications for
a seat in democratic convention is repeated
year after year in the boast that he never vo
ted democratic ticket in his life, and did
not pretend to act with the democratic party
until the republican party kicked him out,
Miller was there, and violently demanded a
possum policy that Lee county possums might
get plumber. Clagett, of course, was there,
and everybody knows the date of Clagett's
democracy and its poor quality. Henry Clay
Dean was there, and notwithstanding that
Henry Clay Dean was once an advocate of
democratic policy in democratic conventions,
he was one Of the loudest advocates for the
transfer of the party to the twenty-five Ben
tonites who met two weeks before, and while
Dean was stufing himself with this republi-
can filth, he swore roundly that he liked it.
He said that every convention since 1861 had
met labeled 'For Sale and he proposed to
make the sale complete. Martin Van Buren,
Bennett, of Marion county, wien faced,
mutton-chopped whiskered, blue-and- brass
delegate, insulted the Democracy of Iowa by
declaring it ola piece with his own and there
fore sham. Glagett, Miller and others, a
perfect visitation of Egyptian lice upon the
Democratic party, threatened and fumed in
very much the same strain
The more BOWMAN thinks about it the mad.
der he gets. That the faithful in Iowa should
be sold out to few Possums and wax -fggers
excites greatly his ire. He looks at the Dem.
ocratic ticket and the wax-fgger composition
of it and he washes his hands of the whole
affair, declaring that "the representatives of
the Democracy Of Northern and central
Iowa almost unanimously protested against
+" this Outrage, and warned its perpetrators
" that they would receive no support from
Democrats at the polls. So far as we are
concerned, and we believe we utter the
" sentiment of the Democracy Of this sec
ton, we will have nothiag to do with the
fraud save to denounce it. We will neither
" insult Democrats by asking them to vote
the ticket, nor win we touch it ourselves.
1t is an unclean thing, which we believe the
Democracy of Iowa will spew out with
loa'hing. No twenty-five Republicans can
J" so successfully mask themselves as to foist
ga ticket upon us. We repudiate the sale of
" the party, and will have nothing to do with
/" the shame nor the price,
