Iowa PoLITIcs.-An Iowa newspa-
per thinks that the advice Of the
Times to the Iowa democracy, to
adop5 impartial suffrage should not
be accepted, because, in giving that
advice the Times quite inadvertently
spoke Of the sSecond congressional
district" as the ssThird congressional
district" And this is the only OBJ
lection which this Iowa newspaper
can find to our suggestions. tits an
objection which is Just barely better
than none.
Nevertheless, if Iowa democrats
think they can elect General Jackson
this fall, let them try it. They will
not, of course. elect him, but they will
show their perseverance,. We hope,
however, better things. We hope
that the few Anticipated newspapers,
and politicians Of the Jones and Dean
stripe who still insist that Rich.
mond is not taken, that slavery is not
dead, that the war is still going on
will be thrown overheard. They are
the Jonahs of the Iowa democratic
ship. If tossed over and swallowed
by whale, tits to be hoped that the
animal will keep them down, not only
for three days, but for all time.
The young men Of Iowa must step
to the front. Old age is venerable,
and all that; but when il degenerates
into senility, it's no longer fit for
leadership. Let the young men of
Iowa put these rheu matte old fossils
on the shelf, wrap them up warm in
dannels, and take control OF the cam
paign themselves. In politics, as in
war, there is a radical change. In the
latter there are no more flint locks or
smooth bore cannon. There is just
as marked a change in politics; and
yet there are old imbeciles who insist
on the old tactists, with the old arms
and ammunition. They ignore all
the changes Of the day, and insist on
leading their followers to defeat and
useless slaughter Chicago Times,

Templars, who it seems in his per.
ordinations around through Iowa, is

cause of Temperance one of its dis.
tinctive party shlbboleths. 1t is
said that Mr.. Detwiler openly threat,

ment of the Republican party, will
make fight on this line at the ap-
preaching State Convention, and that
if they do not succeed in having a
plank inserted IN the platform plcdg-

SUFFRAGE.

Inc hepuDllcan state committee
of Maryland, has issued call for a
border State Convention, TO be held
in Baltimore on the 18th of Septem-
Der next.
: The object of this Convention, tina.
will be participated in by delegates
irrespective of color from Delaware,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri and Maryland, is to petit
ton Congress for the passage OF a
law making manhood suffrage the
test of Republican Government as
contemplated in the Constitution
in every state Of the Union.
This is a movement in the right
direction and if properly responded
to by the Border States, cannot fail
of exercising a wholesome influence
upon the next. meeting Of Congress.
It is especially important in pc.
1itical sense to the states of Kentucky
Maryland and Delaware, as the
loyalists in these states have not
had the power during, or since the
war, Of their own motion to disfran.
chise traitors, and enfranchise the
loyal blacks, thus securing the ad.
ministration Of affairs in the hands
Of the loyal irrespective Of color
where il properly belongs
There can be no doubt about the
Constitutional right Of Congress OF
their duty to secure to every state
Republican form, of Government
While slavery existedin the South and
the sense Of right, justice and equity
was blunted by the debasing institu
tuition the general government,
recognized state governments to be
republican in form wherein a
majority, of the able bodied
and sound minded men were
absolutely deprived of any voice in
its administration.
But the inexorable logic of events
the results Of the war, and the
constitutional amendment abolishine
slavery has elevated these chattels
to the full stature of manhood and
clothed them with all the rights OF
citizens, and it is the duty Of Con-
gress, especially where there can be
no doubt about the constitutional
power, to see that we have Politi-
cal Rights Bill as we'll as a Civil
Rights Bill, at an early day.
The failure heretofore from pure
motives Of policy and expediency to
prescribe the qualifications of voters
in the states by act Of Congress, ear
in no wise be construed into denial
of the right by Congress to exercise
that power, whenever in its judgme;t
it is necessary do to so.
The necessity of cqalizing suffrage
before the Presidential election i.
pressing, and Senator Sumner sayl
in q recent able iletterunpon this sub
ject, "that it is improper end incxpe
dent to await upon the uncertain &C
ton of States upon amatter in which
they cannot be trusted"
We hope to see thisconvention du
~ attended, and have but little doub
but that Congress at its next session
will strike at the root of this matter
and make manhood suffrage equa
and impartial in every state of tn.
Union. aa
