Not the weather yet, quite, but the
Democratic Party. Tile following
which we clip from the Presidents
Organ at Washington, the NdtioHol
Intciligcnccr shows it. We make the
following extracts:
1--WE have been favored lately with
a very large amount of reading mat.
ter from The NeW York World on the
subject of what the Conservative
Convention at New York should or
should not say: what it should do,
and what omit. These dissertations
are promised I'm q very oracular
strain, but we are far from regarding
them MS valuable contributions 70
human thought. So far as they are
Democratic ideas, they arc but the
reaffirmations of what has been often
and better expressed before, even by
The World itself; and SO fur as they
are Republican or Radical, which,
we regret to say, they are In large
measure, they are but the feeble ut
terances of neophyte and half
ashamed convert, and lack the
breadth, vigor, earnestness, and abil-
ity of full-blown saint i'm that
church. We are not certain that we
should deem these articles worthy OF
reference, ii not that The World is
not unfrequently quoted as an expo
nent Of Conservative opinion. That
1t often maintains Democratic or
Conservative sentiments, and that it
effects to speak by authority, Is quite
true but that IL il an orthodox ex-
ponent of Conservative doctrine we
emphatically deny. Time and time
again it has advanced propositions
offensive to the conviction of the
Conservative masses, and made adj
missions eagerly seized upon by the
enemy, such as would have been con-
coded by no steadfast and loyal Con-
sentative organ. Even when IL has
urged, not without u certain sort of
ability, Conservative views, IL has
done 1t in a manner which seemed to
lack earnestness, and indicated that
without much difficulty they could
have argued quite as well OH one side
as the other. Hence its utter failure
to guide aud mold public opinion, to
which function 1t so ambitiOusly as
pires. In order to convince others. q
man must begin by himself believ-
ing. The people will follow no shift
ing or uncertain standard bearer.
They cannot be made to rightabout-
face every week or so by any ed
itorinl caprice, even of those whom
they trust, and they do a much larger
part of their own thinking than is
commonly supposed. And thus it is
that papers like The World, which
jump about here end there, and
think they are accomplishing Won
ders, are really no more than the fly
which undertook to start the carriage
sni horses which had halted for q
rest.

A Recent Discovery.

The Dubuque Herald has at las
discovered something new. It Il
neither the "What is il" nor any
thing of that sort, but it runs entire
ly in the political course. 1t Is nc
less than the fact that Henry Clay
was a statesman. OF course TO Old.
Line Wings and such as believed In
the sage of Ashland, when the sweet
tones of his oratory charmed the
American people, this Ia no novelty
but for the Herald, always deaf lt
every virtue that rings no change or
Copperheadism, 1t is something new
1t quotes the opinion of Henry Clay
against the nomination and election
of Andrew Jackson. The Dubuque
Herald won't for a moment claim
that Jackson was no statesman. i
Ii should have such a claim, we have
no confidence In Its claim to Democ-
racy. But perhaps this Is saying too
much, rs the Herald don't act much
as If IL believed i'm either Gen. Jack
son or Gen. Grant. II the Herald
had acted i'm this style, JEFF. Davis
would not receive its humble apollo
gy for the "deeds done in the body
and Gen. Grant would have had an.
other advocate i'm the press did he
need any such timber In his loyal
platform.

Mr.. II. J. Gibbs and J. G.. Aldridge,
who have been rusticating for few
days, spending their time i'm Hardin,
Bremen, and Black Hawk, report the
prospect for big crop unprecedent-
ed. What Is wonderful among their
revelations In regard to the prospect
IL that the farmers have nothing to
grumble about. There Is no rust, no
bug, no weevil, no nothing, but a
bouncing crop to the fore as Paddy
would say. as #.&.# =
Mr.. Gibbs, whose time was spent
chiefly up the Cedar and on the
Sherlock, says the harvest is rapidly
approaching in that quarter. On tile
Shellruck the wheat IL heading out
beautifully, and he presented speci-
mems on Change yesterday.
Both gentleman say 1t Is perfectly
amazing to see the amount Of land
that Is being broken ut the present
time. Their reports only confirm
previous reports In this respect.
Thousands Of acres that last year
were wild and unfruitful will be
among the improved lands of Iowa
this year. There is more land being
redeemed this season i'm Hardin
county than there has for the past
six years put together. And so 1t lie
on every hand. AS an instance of
this great upheaving, we may relate
that one gentleman, Mr.. Leavitt, of
Waterloo, counted from the top of
the Court House at Grundy Center,
Grundy county, one day last week,
one hundred and thirty-two break
ing teams, all at work and In sight at
Que time. These are evidences how
rapidly the "Garden of the West" is
filling up with thrifty, industrious
population. At no time since Iowa
has been q State has there been
such tide of emigration flowing
into her borders. We can i'm
stance this flood by citing the sales Of
one firm with which we are acguaint-
ed, who have sold this season twenty
thousand acres of land located i'm the
region OF Hardin, Bremen, Butler,
Black Hawk, Floyd and neighbor-
hood, and to settlers. 1t Is grateful
to make this memorandum of our
States prosperity. 1t is not surpris-
ing that it should be so. Out of debt.

ing. Why can not patriotic, radical
