Davenport Gazette, Davenport, Iowa Territory, February 10, 1842.

AROUSE YE!

The Locofocos of Jackson county have had a public meeting, amongst resolutions 
passed was the following: “That the several townships in the county be 
requested to appoint three delegates to meet at the County Seat on Thursday 
next, to make out a Democratic ticket, to be supported at the next August 
election; also to appoint three delegates to meet those of Dubuque, Clayton 
and Delaware, to nominate candidates for the district to be supported for the 
Council.” What say the Whigs to this resolution? Is it not time that they were 
acting? Shall the Locos again possess the ascendancy in our Legislature and by 
their midnight caucuses exclude, not only Whigs, but even residents of Whig 
counties from possessing offices? Shall Locos again represent Whig districts? 
Shall every leading Whig measure be quashed in our Legislative Assembly for 
non-exertion to obtain the power to sustain them? Shall Scott and Clinton 
persist in having their principles misrepresented in the Legislature? Be 
active, be energetic, Whigs all or the wily foe will again deceive some of you 
by specious professions which are violated as soon as power is reached. 
Remember the past and act accordingly.
