IOWA TERRITORY.

The ensuing remarks, taken from the St.
Louis Argus Of March 22d, shew the grow
ing prosperity of this new territory.
The Receiver of public monies at Bur-
lington, Iowa Territory, arrived in this c-
ty a few days since, bringing with him to
deposle in Bank to the credit Of the Treas
urer of the u. States, $345,000.
The Office at Burlington was opened on
the lst of October last, since which time,
embracing period of less than six months,
100000 have been received there for
lands
Of this amount, upwards Of 100000
were received in silver, about AZ, 900 in gold,
and the balance in treasury notes, Missouri
and Illinois State Bank Bills, and Military
Land Scrip.
The proportion of gold we understand to
be much larger than has generally been re-
ceived at other Offices.
More than three-lourths of the large a.
mount mentioned above, has been paid by
the sctual settlers of the country.
Emigrants are now going into Iowa in
great numbers, and it is confidently predic-
ted that ere two years have elapsed from
the date of her organization as territory
to wit, by the 4th of July, 1910, she will
have surplus Of many thousands pver the
number of inhabitants necessary for her adj
mission as a state into the Union.

EXECUTION OF WIN. DUNLAP, Jr. |
The execution of William Dunlap jr.
who was convicted at the December term,
for the murder Of his wife, took place with
in the walls Of the Jail of this county, on
Friday the 29th nit. in pursuance of the
warrant issued by the Governor to that ef
feet, in the presence Of about 40 individu-
ais.
At the request Of Sheriff Bennett. we
were induced to form one of the company,
selected TO witness the execution of the
law on this ill-fated man, and at the ap-
pointed hour we repaired to the Jail, with
our companions. broodlng upon the awful
scene about 10 be Witnessed. On our arrival
at the prison, we found the culprit amazing
" composed and resigned to his fate, in
familiar conversation with the Ministers
Of the Gospel, whom he had requested to
attesd on the occasion. He conyersed free
ly with the Sheriff about the mode of exc
cution, and requested him TO be as eXpedi-
tious as possible. With the greatest com
posure he disrobed himself, and exchanged
his every day garments for the habiliments
of death and then with firm step and
determined air, accompanied the Sheriff
into the yard Upon arriving at the foot
of the scaa'oll, he made a slight halt, Il
gather up his robe and then ascended will
firm unbroken step. After taking his
seat upon the fatal spot, an appropriate
hymn was given out by the Rev. j. Ben
nett, and the prisoner joined in singing witt
a clear, distinct and natural voice. Durinl

Rev. II. Lenhar, the prisoner made al
earnest and confident appeal to his God iO
mercy and pardon. His voice was slroni
and commanding, and his language fluent
and appropriate and almost eloquent Up
on rising to his feet he was Informed tina
if he had any thing 10 say, he now had a
opportunity. With this he tnraed his eye
upon those beneath him and with an unfa
tering voice delivered the following laconi
speech, as taken down by us at the time.

The child was then restored TO its mother
who carried it off with an air Of most obvi-
Gus delight and triumph. The scene then
closed by the magistrate committing the
splendidly dressed Mrs. Sayer to prison, as
common vagrant, and charged her with

comprehend on what pretext the State Of

man but Lord Palmerstou does il appear 10
us that any England Minister could throw
difficulties in the path of such proposal.

side to cOmpulsion. We declared this opin.
ion more than eight months ago. We did
so from an honest anxiety for national peace
and human welfare. There is through this
temporary convention of Messrs. Forsyth
and Fox gleam Of light, and the only one
we see. and if well employed, it may con-
duct US through the labyrinth. But with
such inducements to activity, and such ma.
terals of compromise, and such repeated
warnings to prepare fer the worst what
must this man, Lord Palmerston, be made
of, who would neither negotiate through
the ordinary methods of diplomacy, nor re.
collect that an armed negotiation is among
the most approved and infallible means Of
prevailing upon an inatteniive adversary TO

drawn over his eyes by the Sheriff, who
Immediately descended and with q stroke
severed the cord which truly in this case,
separated time from eterniiyl A slight
struggle ensued--a few efforts at respira-
ton, and all was over What an awful
spectacle to witness. A fellow creature

fate and acknowledge it iust-call upon his
God for mercy, and the next minute behold

nameless thing--his spirit gone to try its
fate"
But we have no time TO spend in specu-
Iation about fuurty. 1t is sufficient TO say
that the prisoner appeared sincerely pen-
tent long before his execution. That he
never made an attempt TO escape, and that
he maintained until the last minute, that il
was love not malice which induced him to
murder his wife.
In conclusion we deem it our duty to
state, as an act Of justice, that the conduct
Of Sheriff Bennett, on this trying occasion
was worthy of all commendation. AS
an officer, he acquitted himself IN the best
possible manner, and in conjunction with
his enterprsng and efficient Deputy. John
Sloan, Esq. merits and must receive the
appreciation and thanks of all who winess-
ed the late execution.

ihe English bar, and also an Important
speaker in Parliament. When Oliver
Cromwell brought the king to the scaHold
and established the Commonwealth, Sir
Edwerd Hyde, for he had held gov
omment post and had been knighied--was
too prominent a member Of the royslist par
TO escape the enmity of the new rulers, and
was obliged to reside on the continent I'LL
the restoration. When abroad he was so
much esteemed by the cxiled prince (aiter-
wards Charles II) as to be appointed Lord
High Chancellor of England, which ap-
pointmcnt was confirmed when the king
was restored to his throne. Some years
afterwards HYDE was elevated 70 the peer
age, first in the rank of baron, aud subse-
quenllv as Earl of Clarendon, a title which
he made famous m English history.
These events so briefly narrated, occu-
pied a large space of time, during which
Lady Aylesbury passed her days IN quiet
and retirement. She had now the gratti-
cation of beholding her daughter Countess
of Clarendon, and Of seeing the grand chill
dren who had been born to hor ming e as c.
quals with the noblest in the land But
still more exalted fate awaited the descen-
dants of the poor friendless girl who had
come to London, in search of service, in a
wagoaer's van. Her granddaughter, Ann
Hvde, a Young lady Of spirit, it,and beau
" had been appointed, while her family
staid abroad, one of the maids of honor to
the Princess Of Orange, and in that situa-
ton had attracted so strongly the regards of
James, Duke of York, and brother OF
Charles the H. that be contracted private
marriage with her. The birth of a child
forced on public announcement of this
contract, and ere long the grand daughter of
Lady Ayesbury was openly received by
the royal family, and the people of England,
as Duchess of FORK, and sister-ln-law OF
the sovereign.
Lady Aylesbury did not long survive this
event But ere she dropped into the grave
at a ripe old age, she saw her descendants
heirs presumptive to the British crown.
King Charles had married, but had no le-
climate issue. and, accordingly, his broth
er's family had the prospect and rights of
succession. And i'll reality, two immediate
descendants of the barefooted country girl
did ultimately fill the throne-Mary (wife
of William g. and Queen Anne, both prin-
cesses Of illustrious memory.
Such was the fortunes of the young wo-
man of whom the worthy landlady Of the
Goat and Compasses was fearful of encour-
aging to rash hopes by reference TO the
lofty position which it had been her own
fate to attain in life. In one assertion, at
least, tbs hostess was undoubtedly right
that success in life must be labored for in
some way or other. Without the prudence
and propriety OF conuucV wi'iCi, 49,, 'l4e CO

the country girls history could not have

TuEl BOUNDARY QUESTION.

The proceedings in Congress on the
Boundary Question, with the memorandum
agreed pom by Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Forsyth,
&c. &c, were received in London by the
packet England on the 20ih of March. So
far as We can judge by hasty glance at
the papers before US. the temporary adjust
ment of the dispute appears 10 have given
general satsfaction; and even the most ul-
ira Of the anti-American Journals have man
ifested degree of moderation on the sub
iect which we hardly expected.
The Herald, it is true, recommends the
immediate sending Of 10000 men and 10
sail of the line to the North American coast;
and the Standard affirms that no diplomacy
bat that Of cannon and bayonets can be re-
lied or; but the Times, the thunderer of the
British press, discourses the matter in the
following moderate and reasonable manner:
1--WE have heard from high and grave
authorities in the United Statesmen whom
we believe 10 have been really conscientious
in their allegation-that there could not be
shadow of doubt as to the right Of Maine
TO the whole Disputed Territory-these
persons at the same time intimating a
suong conviction that the bone cOntended
for was not worth 10 either country dozen
human lives.
at now appears that, however the joint
memorandum of Messrs. Forsyth and Fox
may be calculated to avert land God grant
| it may succeed in CONG so y any immedi-
ate appeal to violence and bloodshed, the
the tone of the Senators who have spoken
upon the subject corresponds minutely with
that of the Senate, which put aside the ar
bitralion of l930-3l, and insisted that Eng
land had no right to the least portion of the
soil contended for. Although, therefore,
measures humane and cOnsiderate have been
pursued on this occasion for postponing the
armed conflict, and saving the irregular and
precipitae efluslon of blood, nothing has
taken place to encourage the least hope thai
by any expedient but surrender Of tht
tohOle subject in dispute, will this country
be able to calculate OH a more than transient
CLEAN of repose for her Provinces in North
America.
" In this journal we have repeatedly
thrown out suggestion which with a due
sense Of our own very humble pretensions
