Iowa Township Democracy.
The Democracy of Iowa Township.
according to announcement, met ip MAss
Convention at Highland. on Friday last.
But Click and the other big guns did not
attend, according to announcement and
the macs of Democracy were compelled
to fall back upon our venerable FRIEND, >,
Msior Vanderslice. who entertained them
with an edifying bumily upon the beau
ties Of Buchanan's Administration. Here.
in lies one great objection to the Major.
and men of his political scbool-they
stopped at Bnchansu's Administrstion.
There are still some old fossils left, who
have not got past Gen. Jsckson's time
Another class, to which our friend the
M.jor belongs. kept up with events until
Buchanan was elected, because events had
run in the old fogy channel. Time has
passed on. but these men have not come
down with 1.-THE coupling came loose.
and left them awsy back there. and there
they hsve stuck their stakes. They do
not know that the country has passed
through q terrible war. to defeat an at.
tempt Of the Democratic p.rty to destroy
the Government. They remember what
the expenses of the Buchanan Admins.
trstion were, and they can't see Why the
expenses should be SO much heavier now.
No doubt they are honest in this: for
not having lived through the last eight
years of our eventful history, how can
they know that the Republicans have had
to pay the expenses of that Democratic
war. and to provide money in place Of
that stolen by Bucbanan's Cabinet Off
GERS?
We respect the Major, personally. and
have no objection to his enjoying little
worldly honors; but it does seem to us
that it would be more comfort to him to
hold position in the sge in which be
exists. Why would it not suit him just
as well to imagine himself Q member OF
the Border Ruffiian Lecom pton Constitu-
tional Convention of 1857. the 6rst year
Of the reign Of Buchanan of blessed mem
ory? We are sure that this arrange
ment would be agreeable to q large ma
iority of our people; for they have been
living along with the years during the
last decade. and want msr of the pres.
snt day to represent them. LET the
dead bury their dead"
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions. The Spokesman got up and
announced that be had sort of skeleton or
outline of resolutions. which he would
read. and let the meeting adopt them.
He could afterwards fill them out to suit
himself, and have them published in the
Chief Think of that-Democratic res.
olutions in the Radical Chief! But he
has come to time. and the resolutions
will be found in this paper. We have 9
big benevolent bump on our head, and
anything we can do to accom- m odste the
Dem mocrscy-anything in reason-we will
do. When they are dead and gone. it
will be consolation to us to remember
that we were kind to them in their last
illness. But we emphaticslly object to
Harpster playing his jokes on such SOL
emn occasion. The idea of one of the
strongest Grant men in the County going
into Democratic Convention. and par.
ticipatisg in all the performances, with
the gravity Of Bishop. is imposing up
on good nature. No foolishness at fuus-
rails !!
