INDEPENDENCE vs. NEUTRALITY

The Tama County Union, last week claimed
I, be on the Independent line, this is a new
feature in the Union to us, We had always
supposed that the thing was a neutral peg
stuck down in the river bottom, but it now
has the audacity TO talk about Independence,
why Brother iAgham we had supposed you
had sold ont your political principles for
"bread and butter We are certainly much
pleased TO learn that our friend of the Union
quill intends to WELD an "independent' pen
hereafter, success 10 you sir, say we, that il.
'our ticket all the time. We had been led
to infer that the patrons of the Union had,
upon its estah islment in the .Embryo State
Capital City bound the paper to The neutral
chssm Of misery but We rejoice to hear it
come out and assert that its editor can now
assume again in society the position and garb
o his manhood. We like the independent man
one VIII dare to assert his rights, give public
ity to his views without regard to sect. clique
or denomination such a man is noble. But
the man who can in these days OF political
aud moral strife stand on neutral feet. nei-
ther on thing nor the other, but an isolated
nonentity is to he pitiel. Is it possible that
any man with ordinary pride and common
sense can be 80 stupid as TO not have views
Is it possible that having views any one is so
base as to not express them 1t is better,
however that one hol.ing principles that
would do iajnry we're they adopted, to stand
.'neutrul." he can we'll a ford to for the good
OF humanity and his owl credit. No man who
has views which are for the right will submit
to .neu,raliiy. he rail assert them. Il is
only those wlvsc views ii carried out arc 4
curse to humanity, who are neutral, oaly
such can afford ii. This life is too short
to spend ia idleness and i~raction. wrong and
oppression make too terrible efforts for the
ascendency Cor men of sense to stand 'neu-
trail il is only the imbccile and idiotic who
should get down on the stool Of dom hing"
W. are glad to read that Brother lngham has
risen from that rickety old stool and entered
the active arena Of independent journalism

Hostility to U. s Bonds

In this iss,e we publish an article which
is no doubt intended as a kind Of clearing up
shower OF the Democratic splurge at Tama
City on The evening of the l1th inst. We sup
pose Lon Merchant and that 'othcr fellow
are ''sqnlched.' 1t seems. however, that
something Of "A shout was given for the chap
who stole the Bonds. Not money. oh no
''only Bonds. Now the fact of the business
is gentlemen, though such a hue and cry is
made about Government Bonds" there is not
one of the Democratic party, in our opinion,
but thai would do about like the fellow who
actually hated, yes sir, he ioathed Gorcrnment
Bonds, and yet he was such n woody head
as to convert his money into these hateful
things to avoid taxation. We don't suppose
for q moment that any body was drunk who
attended that meeting, it would be exceeding
ical meetings. Perhaps it was something
like the fellow who said he supposed the
speeches were good, but for his part he couldn't
tell any thing about it, he recollected Of TAX
ing a few ''snorts' of .old rye but couldn't
recollect further. Both sides have had a very
good airing and we suppose thus far ard no
further the controversy soeth. We have put
in u word new and then for variety only
We would just ask our friend of the Union il
it is a greater sin to publish l.. Merchants
communication, than to print Mongrel tick
cts, or whether or not it is o greater sin tt
print Hollen and Stodlard's communicable
than to print Democratic tickets You ar
.'neu,ral ye, are you?

EDlroR REPUBLICAN, Referring to a com.
munication published in your last issue and
signed by L. Mercha mt, in which among 9th.
ers am charged with being an 'indorser o,
thieves and burglars wish TO request OF
you the publication Of facts concerning the
case 10 which Mr.. Merchant neglected to retc,
and which will to a considerable extent ma
terially change the impression which persons
would naturally entertain with only the vcr-
sion Of Mr.. NJ. before them. II is true tina,
or Friday evening, October llth. the pemoc-
racy of Tama City and vicinity held a meet
ing in this place which was contemplated as
Il Democratic meeting, and so far as my
knowledge extends no special invitations
were extended to others than Democrats, but
it appears that Mr.. Merchant was DESTROYS
once more OF witnessing a regular .jolliication
of the good old Democratic party to which he
once belonged, and in company with n few
Republican friends he attended the meeting.
turb no one, nor did they anticipate being dis.
turbed in a right which every party claims
that of holding a peacablc political meeting,
but the very first and in fact the only man,
who attempted 10 disturb the meeting. was
Mr.. Lewis Merchant, your aggrieved cores
pendent, who did all that he dared to interrupt
the speakers and create trouble. and had il
not been for one Of those whom he character
ICES AS an 'indorser Of thieves and burglars
he would have found himself in the debris OF
Murdoughs cellar, to which place he would
been conducted with very little cere-
Mr.. Merchant, and every one sho ats
ended the meeting, we'll knows that had he
attended TO his own affairs, his name would
lot even have been thought Of, and it will be
,ood policy for him, and all others, TO stay
way from Democratic meetings ifthey enter
ain any desire whatever to disturb them, for
hat little bushes is played out entirely
living in glass; houses will please

will please bear in mind that lie IL. not

TOLEDO. Iowa., !
October 23rl. 1857. (


Mn. Enrron:-The Chicago, c sMoines and
ether Of our local papers, last week were
lseming with attacks upon certain citizens Of
this county, which in view Of the circumstan-
oos, deserve attention.
The facts arc briefly these The Democra-
" Of the county, on the receipt Of the glorious
Democratic victories in the States of Ohio and
Pennsylvania, held = jollihcation the next
evening at Tama City, at which time speeches
were made, bon-fres built, powder burned,
and q good time had generally. One person
present excited by the reniciugs of the De.
nocracy, attempted to disturb the meeting
and one individual in particular, Lew,,
Merchant, made himself particularly obnox.
ious by remarks of an insulting nature.
Among the speakers was J. H. Hollen Of
TAma City, who in the course Of his remark.
alluded 10 the non-la xation Of Government
bonds. Merchant tberenpon made an insult.
Ing remark, aud i1ollen being provoked at tn.
Interruption, proposed 'three cheers for ths
man who took Lew. Merchants bonds!' (Mer
chant having exported, in July last, a loss o.
shout 81 $50 in Government Tonds-xhich h,
alledged had been taken from his place OF blu
siness by y 1urglar.1
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Hollcns speech. il
Was suggested to Linn that his remarks were
liable 10 misconstruction and that he had bet.
ter make M explanation. He accordingly ex-
~1a:~al Il, N E., .,.,l, H.. - ~, c.n,:o..
remarks, he did not intend to exult over the
loss Of Mr. Mcrchant-that he intended only
70 express his hostility to the L. S. Bonds and
TO rebuke Lew. for his insolent behavior.
The meeting dispersed at an early hour,
and in gooL order, all pleased with the pro-
cecil, .e.
Merchant, ranking under the c~astigation
he had received, with . fellow, over the sig
nature Of Russ Of Toledo, sent communications
TO ZONE Of the papers above alluded to, in
which Mr.. Hollen was denounced as having
proposed ''clleers for a tliefI'
The object of this communication is to pro.
nounce their statements false.
One word more This Merchant or some
Of his willing tools in some of the aforesaid
papers, also charge Hollen with "not having
the fear Of a halter before his eyes as he die
when the boys in blue we're 1t home" Thu
facts are that l.. Merchant was the home guore

fsIlow men, when he shall see a Judge
smarting under the ~invectives Of the
sstirEst aud enraged at the tsunts and
abuse Of q public journalist, pretend,
with anger and hatred betrayed by his
accents, to listen calmly and impartislly
to the arguments Of counsel, which have
no power to pierce through the triple
brass Of his prepossessions, or to convince
him Of that which he is determined not
to believe to be law. de cannot decide
without prejudice and favour between
himself and the man who has libelled
him uDjustifably, and still less II he has
been justly accused. It is a hideous
mockery Of justice for one to be Judge
in his own case, where he must take
brides of his passion and anger, and
avenge himself with the weapons of the
law, as the Corsican does with the sti-
lettO.
The Constitution ard laws of Tonnes
see have not consented that the justice
and the Courts Of the State shall nus be
brought into contempt. They have not
left these questions to be adjudicated by
the Common Law OF according 10 the
decisions Of the English Courts. They
havenO thought that the powers claimed
by these were necessary to insure respect
for the judicial tribunals, nor that, II

that irresponsible power is too prone to
be abused, and that it Is as easy to exer.
else it to stifle inquiry into Judicial in

FROM

WASHINGTON, d. c., December "a.
Public business was suspended in all
the departments at ten O'Clock to-day,
and will not be resumed until Thursday.
The rush for office at the Treasury De-
partmsnt has been so great that the
Secretary has issued an order that no
appointments Will be made until after
January LIST, even IL after that period.
Vita the exception of the members
and Senators who have their families
and have taken q residence here, there
are scarcely any Congressman instown.
Several vino remained over In order to
transact some business with the Depart
ment, left yesterday for home.
Senator POmerOy, Hon. jeremiah
Black and Hon. Montgomery Blair
called and had interviews with the Pres
ident.
The interior revenue receipts have
shown = Gratifying increase within the
past few days. To-day they excesded
ave hundred thousand dollars.
Information has been received here TO
the effect that Judge Busted, United
States Judge for Alabama, will declare
the reconstruction ast unconstitutional.
The question will be carried to the Bu-
preme Court. Congress will have to re-
assemble forthwith and repress Busteed.
Gen. Howard, Of the Freedmen's Bu-
resu, complains Of being greatly annoyed
by the ORths eXacted OF Southern negroes
by the Loyal Leagues in South Carolina.
The freedmen bind themselves by an
oath never to reveal anything that Oc-
ours in their meetings, under penalty of
having their heads cut of. The opera
lions OF the Bureau are much embarrassed
by these Oaths.
Il is ascertained that our Minister 10
Great Britain has succeeded in securing
from that Government an abandonment
Of her old doctrine Of once a subject, etc.
Official information shows that the
South Carolina Convention is composed
Of sixty-thrse negroes and thirty four
whites. In several districts the delegates
are all blacks.
The case Of e. -Secrstary Stanton has
practically ended. Several Senators,
who hitherto were disposed to sustain
him in his quarrel with the President,
have turned against him. Since the
fresh expose Of his duplicity, the ex-
Secretary has fallen so low that none will
do him reverence. He has not a friend
on earth. He arrived here yesterday.
Grants letter to the President about
Stanton Is severely criticised, the style,
grammar, and even its photography
being absolutely appalling.
President johnson declares he is not
a candidate for reelection, but be will,
to the extent of his ability, oppOse Rad
iCals, and will use whatever power he
possesses to prevent a minority of the
people North, aided by bogus negro gov
ernments in the South, from usurping
the Government of the people on the 4th
Of March, 1869.
