Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1872-04-11

the Liberal Republicans OF Missouri.
We make this departure from the or
binary methods Of party action from
deep conviction that the orcanlza-
ton to " hich We belong is under the
control OF those who will use 1t
chiefly for personal purposes and OBJ
struct the free expression OF opinion
ON important matters, which the gen
,lemcn whom you represent have
Laid before TIE people Of the United
states. We believe that the tine
has come when the political ofcases
0. the past Should be pardoncd; that
all citizens should he protected IN
the enioymcnt ol their rights guaran-
teed them hv the Constitutions; that
Federal taxation should be imposed
for revenue, and so adjusted as to
make the burden on the Industry OF
the country Is light as possible; THAT
4 rcfor.a n the civil service should
be such as TO relieve po!l,ica! action
from official patronage; that the right
of local elt.goyernment, the iounda-
t on of American freedom, should be
rcassertea, and the encroachments OF
Federal power checked; and we also
believe that at this time SPECIAL du-
ty rcs;s on the people TO do away
with corruption in Office. The ex-
posurcs recently made in tins State
have brough! TO light evils which are
not confined 10 one party, nor 10 a
single LEGALITY, and disclose CANCERS
more formidable than any which ,he
Republic has yet encountered. With
Tie hope that the movement begun
in Missouri may spread throughout
all the States and influence every pc
li,ical party, we accept the invitation
to meet in National Mass Convention
in the city OF Cincinnati, on the first
"Wednesday in May next, and we in
yite Ill Republicans, who agree with
uS, to cooperate in our action.

CARD FROM IOWA REPUBLICANS.
Responding to the invitation ad-
dressed TO the country by the Liber-
al Republicans of Missouri, the
friends Of Union, Loyalty and good
Government, IN Iowa, who are OBJ
posed to corruption and military su-
premacy in civil administration, are
requested to meet in Mass Conven
tlcn, at Davenport, on Tuesday, the
sd day OF April, A. d. 1872, to ap-
point delegates to the National lib
erai Republican Convention to be
held III Cincinnati on the first day Of
May next.
Ii selecting Davenport IS the
place OF the Convention, j. is thought.
from a correspondence with the dit
terent parts o! the State, that a ma
lority OF the people attending, will be
accommodated at less Inconvenience
than If invited to meet at Des Moines.
Friends Of RepnJl'ean Gorernmeat'-

gates to Cincinnati, prepare for a
Grand Ratification Meeting at Des

follow. There is no longer an cx-
cuse for doubt that the Convention
will be held, and be respectfully at.
tended. We presume that, should
any important action be taken at
Cincinnati, those present from each
State would designate a portion OF
their number to cast the vote of that
State in convention; but no one is
excluded from attending, and the in
vltation Is SO broad that many Will
doubtless be present who have not
been invited Cincinnati proffers all
a generous welcome.
Whether the Convention will de.

principles, to present national candi.
dates, or to adopt some other sort OF
appeal to the country, no one is ell
titled to guess. Whatever it shall
do or PROFOUND will necessarily de
rive all It's benefits from accord with
public sentiment. This Convention
speaks with no authority, claims no
power but that which may be &C
corded to the intrinsic worth Of it,
acts and its dccaration.n
