THE Democratic Caucus of last Sat-

THE Democratic Caucus of last Sat-
urday way organized at Kurz h Miller's
fIafl, by calling Judge Baugh to the
chair and appointing NJ. O'Brien Sec-
Setary. After remarks by Bass, Ham
n1er, Stoncman and others, a motion
was made and carried to postpone the
nominating caucus to Saturday eve'ng
of this week, March I'd. An effort was
made last week to call Onion, Com
promise or no-party caucus, but the
move was unsuccessful: the Democrats
have the votes in this city and they
should respect themselves enough to
nominate and elect one of their own
number for Mayor, Marshal, Treasurer,
Assessor and City Attorney. The
Trustees are elected by wards.
We hear of ID. Hammer and D. ALL
en- in. connection with the Mayoralty;
Eb. Hopkins, Geo. Williams, Jacob
Verhei and Capt. Kostman are named
for Marshal. Baugh for Assessor, Esq.
Jordan for Attorney and I. w. Wood
ava AACf$SuAVls VIC oIC IIOL uiANlllS
nominations or even suggestions. Let
all como out on Saturday, then select a
good ticket and rorA to make it ,Oiu.
Judge Leffiingwell, it is understood,
will be an independent, Republican,
Anti-Caucus candidate for Mayor, and
Marshal Drummond will probably run
again for his present position; both
these gentlemen are creditable officers
and no word Of ours, written or oral, is
at hand in the way Of condemnation.
We think our party has just as good
material as theirs, and hence we scratch
no ticket. Go thou and do--as you
darn please!
P..S.-N. B., &c.--Judge Leffingwell
authorizes and requests us to say that
he will not be cadidate for the May
crafty. He has rendered service to the
public, without profit, as long as duty
requires. It is rumormed that Geo. d.
Gardner will probably be the Republic
can candidate for Mayor, and that l..
Benton, Jr., will be supported in the
Democratic caucus. Fred. Henke and
Henry Frese are spoken of for Treas'r,
so also are Thomas Arnold and Fred.
Elmendorf on the other side.

McGREGoR, Feb. 25th '67.
EDS. TINES shall we lose our great
object in going to St. Louis to attend the
River Convention, by deserving the field
we there occupied, or shall we continue
the fight and benefit the people we repre-
sented. The gentlemen there assembled,
were not in pursuit Of Office or high posi-
tons they were practical business men
and spent their time and money for the
general good, and we can and must have
line Of water communication with all the
world. When once established, it will be
permanent, without any friction, or wear
and tear of track, and cheaper than any
other means Of transportation, for the cur
rent without the aid of steam or wind will
take US to the sea. Then cannot see any
reason why we cannot pay as much for
wheat at McGregor as in Chicago. If the
farmers want cheap transportation for

More could be written on this subject
than you have space, but my zeal for the
great interest involved has caused me to
write these few lines, that you and the
balance Of our community must under
stand that they have mammoth monopo-
~ to fight a monopoly that have money,
and will use it at elections and in
the halls Of legislation, to protect their
interest and defeat what l consider the
object Of God. The Press we now appeal
to. The people want help--let it use its
power and We do not fear the capital or
talents of railroad monopolies. Our friends
at Dubuque are doing nobly; they talk
and mean business; we must not desert
them. Let US all be united from the
head Of our riyer-our friends in Penn.

proper action (which means INTEREST," the

How many Times rhou'st talked OF fove
When not word was spoken!
What faith less signals thou hast MADE:
What cruel kindness granted
What buds of promise caused TO face!
What seeds of sorrow planted!
How strong thy unsuspe sted strength,
Thou mite OF a magician
Leading, as thou hast ev-r led,
From pleasure to perdi ion!
How oft thou'st lured poor mortals on.
By some concealed attraction!
How oft, too, like fair Circe's wand.
Thy touch has caused DISTRACTION!
How many are thy charming crimes,
Thy guilty destinations,
Thy virgin virtues, modest signs,
Mere mocking machInatiOns!
Most dangerous when most demure,
Most wicked when most winning,
Thou mak'st thy trusting lover doubt
If such sin can be SHINING.
Thy victim keeps theeuext his heart
Long after thou st deceived him, ~w
And fOnd1es in his breast the dart s1
That of his joy bereaved him.

Will curse thee for his cruel fate,
