~" cr,a.e, eI@., aud endowed By the Crea-
tot With certain inalienahla rlri,ts, among
which, are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of
happiness. The party was not formed to
enact a tariff, c cate a system Of bankinc. buy
Russian America or trent with the Tycoon Of
fJapnn; but simply to wipe out, once and for>
ever, a shameful blight and practical lie from
onr nominal free government. Nor has any
platform, ever adopted by the party, commits
ted it 10 any particular tariff. Besides, the
Democratic party itself is sadly divided on
this question; in some States they are crying
for Il higher tariff, while the little handful ia
Iowa chirp, much like q chicken in the shell,
for n decrease of it.
Gut the ".Address TO the People Of Iowa,
promounces The exemption Of the Government
Bonds from taxation, "the height of Injustice
Well, when the Government can break faith
at will, in contracts made in the hour Of sorest
need and when it was considered a patriotic
act for men to take these securities on the
terms prcscribed-ay! when rebel sympathi-
zcrs were denouncing them as trash, with
which, in a few years, they would buy wood,
| giving cord for cord, when the Government
can do this without injury to its credit, then
it may tax these securities, bat not before.
But now VIC come TO the strong place in the
address to the People 0: lowa'-Thc Pro-
Military Liquor Law-which starts out with
the sentence: "All sumptuary laws which at
tempt to prescribe what men shall eat, drink
or wear arc p~alpable abridgements of liberty"
What 'eat and 'swear" have to 10 in this
connection, we are at n loss TO know, unless it
be as g sort of ''right and left land supper
tiers TO shrink" The only iauit We have to
find with the Government in its regulations in
reference 70 m item Of dress known rs a hem
en- neck-iie is, that Of late, it has been quite
remiss in enforcing the wearing of it, by a
set of scounlrels who once undertook to seat
. c. gobhlc--up the Government head and
tail. But for a matter of fact statement, one
Of the most mixed in The whole of lie address
TO the People Of Iowa" is this, that, "the Pro-
Military Liquor Law has proved an utter fail
'ure." The fact that intoxicating drinks are
now totally banishcl from sight, except for
medicinal purposes, SO that those who drink
them must understand the ropes and go
''rouud the back way" and that TO be thus
engaged in their unlawful sale is one Of the
surest marks Of a bad citizen, we think is
truth enough to take tho wind out Of that
statement.
But We find ourselves only in the middle of
The Address TO the People Of Iowa. which,
at the first, we assure you was remarkable
for nothi, 6 50 much as for length. We had
hoped to be able to look over the whole CT it
this week, bat as there are many other things
continuing as much Of the ''mysteIy OF mys-
:eries as taatto which we have already adj
yertcd we must defer ii till next week.

Charles Mason, Of Burlington, present can
dldate of the bogus Democratic party for Gov
ernor of Iowa, was nom mated for the same
office by anti-war Democrats of the Alahoney
school in 1861, and accepted The nomination
II will be remembered that the Convention
nominating him adopted resolutions denounc>
ing the act of the extra session of the Lcgisla.
tnre in that year, which provided for a loan
Of money for the state Of Iowa to enable it to
,epel invasion and defend itself in war.
This action Of The convention was also en-
lorscd by Mason, aud he thus early upheld
the side Of the rebels, against the govern
ment he had sworn to defend and protect. 1t
will also be remembered that he was so obnox-
ious to the spirit of loyalty then remaining in
the Democratic party, that the most respccta
BILE portion of the Convention which nomina,
ted him succeeded and selected for the stand.
ard bearer of the war democracy of Iowa Col.
Merrill, then fresh from the battle field of Will
son Creek.
Ii is not claimed hat Mason has changed
his views since 1861. Indeed his course
throughout the four years OF bloody strife and
iminent peril to the nation was consistently
and constantly in the same direction. He is.
therefore, the fit representative of the disloyal
element that existed, and still exists in our
State, which, if it had possessed the power,
would long since have handed over the reins
of government to JEFF. Davis.
Such being Masons record, he cannot re-
ceiye the support of intelligent and truly loyal
voters.-Muscat,ae Journal.
