Equal Rights" is the war cry OF
the Republican party Of Iowa. Down
with aristocracy in civil government.
The law shall be no respecter Of per
cons. The man " ho is good enough
to use q musket in our defense is
good enough TO use a ballot in his
own defense. Every man Of sound
mind is the peer of every other man
in the pursuit Of life, liberty and
happiness" in the control of his own
person and property, and in the Sc
lection Of his rulers. These prinei-
PIES are right-they commend them
selves to every honest conscience and
mast prerdil.
