That party in Iowa, is distinguished by


lts violent hostility to each of the most


purely and eninsnily republican features


of The constitution proposed for adoption

federalists, who behold in this feature d


death blow to all their schemes for the ae-
grandizeinento OF the fewsatsthe expense Of

assail this, and all similar republican, fea-
lures in that constitution, with all their
characteristic bitterness. Such opposi.

ously lavishcs its spite and venom upon
