Mr.. Edwards;-Sir, in looking over
the last weeks Gazette, noticed very
severe article charging you with falsehood
land the very modest and would-be arts
tocratlc Editor of the Gazette is very free
with charges of that kind in relation to
a very just article which appeared in the
Patriot charging the Gazette with a
breach of neutrality. The Editor of that
Locofoco paper has the audacity to use
the following language, 'sas we have in
other places been charged with breach
Of neutrality we now take occasion, once
and forever, to put the brand Of falsehood
upon it. : This is certainly extraordina-
ny language. Is it not bad enough to do
a mean act, without denying it in a pub

his senses or his memory, or he never
would have been guilty of such misrep.

cations for their future homes; we feet

giving them accurate information relative
to the most desirable points in the terrific

friends at distance to cooperate. They
can do this by giving us description of

chanical-its iocality-state Of society
the number of professional, mercantile
and mechanical men in the vicinity, with
such other information as would interest
those for whose especial benefit these de-
scriptions will be published.
In this way most important intelligence
may be obtained in relation to our new
and rapidly rising territory. The devel-
opponents already made are sufficiently
ample to convince all that it's miaeral
wealth isinexhaustible. In addition to the
lead mines, there have lately been dfscov-
cred several extensive quarries of marble,
and from the specimens we have seen, we
should judge it to be of an excellent quail
ity.
The agricultural resources of this ter
ritory are acknowledged to be equal if
not superior to Illinois. There is much
less level prairie, the prairies are smaller
and the timber is more abundant. The
large crops of corn, wheat and other grain
prove that the soil is capable of richly re-
warding the labors of the husbandman,
and with a ready market for the surplus
produce ''all along shore,' the whole
length of the territory, we do not see
why the farmers Of Iowa cannot aided
by temperance and frugality, soon realize
handsome fortunes.

principal support from those opposed to
lit in politics. Busin the process of time
when our territory became a separate
Territorial Government, when Govern
ment Officers landed on our shores by
dozens, we'll trained in the school Of Lo-
cofocoism, and raised the War Whoop,
and in the mean time when the Editors had
lined their pockets with the sonic from
the support of all parties, we find the new
Iowa Territorial Gazette changing its
course. We find them heaping abuse up
on all who think differently from them
in politics and attempting to brand them
with every false and disgraceful charge
which their notorious leader Thomas III.
Benton had ever reiterated.
These are not mere assertions and opin-
ions confined to myself alone. They are
the opinions and feeling Of many of our
most respectable citizens. | would ask
them who is guilty, in this instance, of a
base falsehood, as the modest editor of
the Gazette is pleased to term it? | have
said that great injustice has been done to
very many, and l Believe the principal,
supporters Of the Gazette. Injustice be-
cause they differ with the Editors in pol
tiles and because it was the understand
ing at the commencement of the paper
that it should be ne utral.
If the Editor Of the Ga zette supposes
that would contribute one farthing for
the support of Locofoco principles and
doctrines, he is mistaken. | have long
since witnessed with pain and disgust the
proceedings and principles Of the present
party in power believe corruption is at
the foundation Of the whole system, and
unless checked, will be the means of
overthrowing our Government. These
are the opinions of an honest heart formed
by many years observation. 1t has been
with great reluctance that have permit
ted myself to say anything on this sub
ject; but after receiving suci. treatment
from the Gazette and then Witnessing
such Misrepresentation, l cannot remain
silent, hoping that the Editor of the
Gazette will repent of his former conduct
and confne himself to facts hereafter
will leave the subject.

Our friend s'Cornelius,' whose COM

aid us in the development of subject
about which the Editors of the Gazette
have for some time appeared peculiarly
sensitive. In addition to this communica-

many voluntary and competent witnesses,
we shall present the reader with species
of proof which will show that the Gazette
editors, Of all others, should have been
the last ssto put the brand of falsehood up
on this subject, even if the paragraph
against which so much umbrage is mani
Tested, had been less general in its appli-
cation and had been especially aimed at

say that out of its own mouth the Gazette
stands condemned. The italicising and

We last week received an anonymous
communication through the Post Office,
and do not know whether it is intended as a
hoax or not. 1t might have been written
by "Des Moines Farmer" but it must
have been sealed in tow7a, as the wafer
was quite wet when we took it from the
Office. We are disposed to give the

and that's, every original announcement
must be accompanied with some well
known responsible name. We give the
