Iowa Democratic Com
ventiOn. June 26. 1867

Resolved, l. That the maintenance in
violate Of the rights of the States. and cS-
rccially the right of each State to order
and control its own domestic institutions
according 10 its own Judgment exclusive
". is essential to that balance of power on
which the perfection and endurance Of our
political faith depends.
. That we bcli.ve each state has the
right to regulate the elective franchise for
itself. and we, as the citizens of the state
u Iowa. are opposed to striking the word
white out Of our State Constitution.
3, That the.existinS tariff laws are un-
Just and heavily burthcnsomc to the agri-
cultural States, without being Of CORES
ronding benefit to the government, and
emily Of advantage to a few manufacturing
States. and should be repealed or greatly
modified.
4. That all classes of property should
)-y proporticnate rate toward dcfraying
the expenses Of the government We are
therefore in favor Of taxing government
bends the same as other property.
s. That we are in favor Of repeating
DE present prohibitory liquor law Of this
Htstc, and enacting Il we'll regulated Ii
ernse law in lieu thereof.
6. That we are in favor Of an amend

ing to Foreigners the elective franchise af-
ter they have declared to become citizens
o; the United States and have resided in
tl.is State one year.
I. That the denial of the right Of rep

through odious military restriction, in Vi
olation Of the constitution, should meet
with unqualified opposition Of every good
citizen.
. s. That we demand of our public off,

Of burdensome taxation. and We dcnouncc

it is to defend and maintain the
dignity and sanctity Of law. Money
appropriated by law to liquidate
the public debt, is used by officers
to speculate in evidences Of state
and county Indebtedness, retaining
to themselves 4 percentage of the
money appropriated by law to a
specific purpose, and indictments
arc defeated, and convictions on in
IictmcntS fail, because Of the ig-
norancc or venality, of those whose
duty it is to prosecute and punish.
While such facts are upon every
mans tongue the attempt to main
tain and enforce rigid party disci-
pline is worse than futile. Sooner
or later the overwhelming tide of
public opinion will oycrtakc and
punish. The free use Of
money among the corrupt and vcn,l,
will not triumph. The people have
resolved to prescribe and punish
lnfaithful public servants. The
fat has gone forth. The day of de-
liverancc is at hand.

Will our friend Allison when here on
Monday next reply to and explain
these, questions of the Tribune?
|. How can money be given to
one man. by act of Congress, without
taking it from another?
,. What is the difference between
tariff levied for ''protcction' and
an appropriation of public money to
the protected classes?
8. If the process of appropriating
public money to particular classes
is wise national economy would 1t
not be wise and just to extend it to
all classes?
4, If the aforesaid process enables
the iron manufacturer to buy more
of the farmers grain, would it not
also enable the farmer to buy more
of the other mans iron?
5, Why would it not be wise ma
tional economy then to appropriate
an equal portion of the public funds
to the farmers and all other persons,
so as to enable them to buy large
quantities of iron

Symptoms of Dissolution.

Among the many accommodating
symptoms of a speedy dissolution Of
the Republican party, is the wide
divergence of opinion held among
those composing it on questions Of
vital Importance to the future pros
psfity of the country. Old issues
pass away, and are succeeded by
new and cquslly vital ones. And
those that have the most widely diff
tered upon those of the past, may
concur in the future issues. In other
words one may be a Republican on
the negro question, and spurn its
principles on other questions. The
following from a recent number of
the Chicago Tribune is an evil
dence of the tendency to desert from
and reject old associations, as new
party questions arise. The protec-
tive tariffs, and bounties given to
monopolics Of various chara cters and
purposes are all the work Of the
Republican party, yet the principle
Of SO doing is thus handled by the
Tribune, one of the blacklist Repub-
lican papers Of the country. The
questions it asks are soon to be vital
issues presented to the people. Then
will there be war between the Re-
publicans of the east and west, be-
cause there is an irrcpressible con-
dict between the interests of tho
West and the legislation Of East.

The Effect Of Radical Rule.

The Philadelphia Age draws this
picture of the financial effect of rad
zeal rule upon the people and the ma
ton:
One dollar and sixty cents per
head were paid by the people through
the customs in 1860. This was
thought to be heavy burden upon
each person. But in 1866, after six
years of radical rule, S14 per head
were druwn from the industry Of the
nation through the customs and in
tcrnal revenue. In 1860, each man
had to pay out of his labor s. of the
public debt. The radicals came into
power, and in six years they raised
the sum to $40, SO. The expenses
of the national government in 1860
were S62, 600, 900. This year they
will reach 1925, 100000. 4 fearful
increase in the short space Of six
years. In 1860, the government of
this state cost $4O2, 900. In 1866
it will take GO, 600 to foot all the
expenses incurred by the radical
party. Twenty-Five millions of dol
lars are annually taken from the la
Dor of the state to pay the interest
on debts of national, state and
municipal character, contracted by
the radical party in. the short space
of six years.

Partisan Corruption.

The banc of popular government,
is the appeal partiSans make through
catch-words and prctentiens of at
tachmcnt to the public interests,
t" retain through party organiza-
ton, positions which they are ncith-
or fitted for by education, habits of
life, capacity, or integrity. No
matter to what extent or how base
corruption in Office, may become,
the leaders of any powerful and well
"rgani zed party, instead of denoun-
ling andexposing official corruption
for fear of injury to the party, be-
come the apologists of official ras-
caiity. These impositions are
known and felt long before the peo-
pie arouse themselves from their
lethargy, and spurn those that like
whitencl scpulchrcs are full of rot
tenncss and dead III n Loncs.
Parties meet in convention and
with high sounding words and mean
iagless platitules denomce corrup-
ton in Office and favor rctrenchmcnt
ard reform, without denouncing the
official thieves and scountlrels their
cwn organiza ton has warmed into
lite, or aiding to restrain the outpour-
ing of public treasure without other
good than the enrichment of their
own partizans. They tell the adhe-
rents Of their own party, that the
defeat of candidates even though
possessinga record black with infamy
would be party calamity; forget
ting that time and experience have
taught the honest ycolnanry Of the
country that defeat Of such men, if
aparty calamity is glorious deliv-
crance to the people. When parties
d,neunce rascality in Office, without
slurning and furnishing the rascal
the, only remedy left the people is to
,ebukc their hypocrisy at the ballot
box.
These have been the causes that
led to the remarkable changes 60
ing OH throughout tho country.
When the republican party came in
to life it professcd to find the pub
lie Offices Of the country filled with
men cmbodying all the elements of
oaicial infamy and corruption, and
upon this assumed state of facts, that
party was completely routed linear
" all its strongholds. Not only so
hut every attempt to whitcwash it's
corrupt leaders resulted in disaster
and defeat. To assume that the
people are less earnest now In their
..Lctcrmira ton to rebuke official
wrong-doing, is to assume that they
are asleep to their own interests.
Evidence is boldly stalking through
the land, este blishing and proclaim
ingYtbe veual rascality of our pub
lie servants. ~:4

Its Enterprise.

In the last issue of the Times is
a letter purporting to have been
sent to the Senior editor Of this pa
per by three Irish Democratic
friends ofFloyd County. Ofcoursc
it don't display, published and
spelled as written, the extensive
book knowledge of the Times edi-
tor, and indeed appears to be unin-
eligible to the brilliant genius
whose friends write for his paper,
to relieve him of a responsibility he
lacks the ability to assume.
The editor says the letter was adj
dressed to the Times on the out side
though within to the senior editor
Of this paper personally. We be-
lieve this statement false, because
we have the best Of reason for so
thinking One Of these reasons are
that John Mahara the writer of that
letter knows us too we'll to have
made the mistake the Times says
he did in directing the letter. The
fact probably is, the letter was by
mistake put into the Times box,
and perhaps opened by mistake.
But whether so opened or not a
true gentleman as the Times editor
Processes to be, would have seen the
letter returned to the post office
properly addressed to the person for
whom designed, or thus delivered
in person. A failure to do either
is better commentary upon the
true character Of the man than any
thing We can say or write. Words
arc inadequate to express the con-
tempt respectable people have for
the wretch that will purloin and
publish the correspondence Of his
ncighbors.
The object of the Times man
seems to have been to bring ridlculc
upon the Irish for alleged ignorance,
when at the same time he and his
friends estimating their attachment
to their principles by the measure
of his own rectitudc, hopes by pur-
chase or fraud to procure the Irish
vote Of this county, or a portion of
it for their ticket. We leave the
man who can stoop to so base An act
to his own reflections and tho YER
dict of the people.
Any man is liable to have his cor
respondcnco by mistake or stealth
fall into the hands of thieves, but
no respectable man in any country
would endorse so infamous an act as
ones appropriating it to his own use,
or even justify the finder in opening
any letter however unimportant,
even though it be done simply to
crafty morbid curiosity.

In late number of the Lynch
burg "Virginian' we find the fol-
lowing:
a friend who has been residing Oh
the peninsula for some months past,
informs us that there are about %,
600 negroes between Williamsburg
and Hampton-a distance of thirty
six miles. These people are sus-
tanned with rations furnished by the
government at a. cost of 5000
monthly. While five companies of
cavalry arc required to patrol the
country to prevent dcpredations. -
Every effort was made to induce
portion Of them to remove to Florida,
the officers of the government offer
ing them free transportation. There
is a standing offer Of this nature
made by Gen. Armstrong, Of. the
the freedman's bureau, to convey
the men with their families to any
point they may select, with a view
of engaging in some useful labor
But they have refused every offer of
the kind and rejected every offer of
the kind and rejected every overture
made to get them employment. IN
der the provisions of the civil rights
bill it is impossible to do anything
contrary to their wishes, and so they
remain hnddled within this limited
territory, AMI are a heavy tax upon
the government. Some of them have
taken to highway robbery, and, but
for the presence Of a large cavalry
force, a residence in that country
would be intolerable. How long we
wonder, will the people submit to
this enormous tax to support such
idle and worthless pets Of the black
republican party?
