Mr. G. W. Todd, of Des Moines, formerly of the Iowa State Journal, and Mr. Bentley, of the Bloomfield Clarion, are about to establish a Democratic paper at Burlington, to be styled the Argus. The Des Moines Register truthfully says:
“If this paper follows the example of the Dubuque Herald, Babbitt’s Bugle of the State Journal of 1861, the good people of Burlington will kick it into the Mississippi river! But if, on the other hand, it pursues a course of straight loyalty to the Government, and refuses to snigger in its sleeve over the repulse of Federal armies, and withal maintains a decent respect for the opinions of such Democrats as Coolbaugh and Hall, it may not meet the hapless fate which has thus far overwhelmed every Democratic paper started in Burlington.”
