FRRRY.

MkssRs. EDIToRs Is the period approach
es which determines the forfeiture Of the ferry
privilege granted to Warfeld 8 Williams, by
the frst Legislature Of Iowa, il behoves the
citizens Of our town to take the subject into
consideration, and devise such plans as will be
productive Of the most good to the town and
the citizens al large.
Tk.t those gentlemen named will obtain an
extension Of the time within which they were
TO have put the ferry aforesaid into operation.
cannot for moment be supposed, without Sc
riously doubling the disposition and interest
Of our citizens, as well as the good sense Of
our Legislators. In fact do not believe they
will for moment think of applying for what
they know cannot and will not be granted, un-
less in open defiance Of the unanimous will Of
our citizens and those of the adjacent country,
on either side Of the Mississippi.
In this state of things what shall be done.
1t seems to me that one Of two courses should
be taken: Either that the town, through its
corporate authority, should apply for the char
ter, or that it should be invested in stock
company; care being taken that the shares be
Of the proper size, and confned TO- the citizens cf
HefoUn.
That the ferry privilege will in few years
become valuable, no one will pretend to doubt.
The interest and growth of the town material
ly depends upon our securing the immediate
operation of ferry at this place. Let us then
take the subject at once under consideration,
and effect such means as shall secure this im-
portant interest to ourselves, either corporately
or collectively, and no longer suffer the whole
town and its interest to be absorbed or kept in
check by those who either have not the means
or disposition to advance them.

By what course Of reasoning any Democratic

not Do they suppose that because the seat Of gov

pending large sum Of meney in that place, its
tisens must have preference over others, because
Of their locality Or do they suppose no others ca
pable Of doing the work properly! If such be their
IDEAS We must insist that they are based upon false
premises There are other establishment than those
in Burlington, that can do the work in manner
that will bear the closest inspection in every respect
and we are not too modest to acknowledge that it
could be SO done at this office. Burlington has GER
tany no cause to complain that she has not received
full share Of public patronage, for much has been
expended there.

We have no doubt they are capable Of doing the
work well, and with despatch, and if they are the
choice Of the Democracy, over other establishments,
because Of their devotion to the cause, we should
feel no dissatisfaction in seeing them selectcd-wc
are for the cause and not for ourselves alone.
Towards the Hawkeye, we confess we have no
such kind feeling and are proud of the abundant
evidence We have that the feeling is reciprocal. and
therefore cannot wish to the job given to it. No
sooner had the Democratic members shown pre-
ference for the supporters Of their principles than it
commenced series of wanton attacks upon them.
without cause. So far has it carried its menacinr
threats, that the Legislature cannot give the con-
tract to It, without acknowledging thereby that they
are driven to that course, through fear of the inu
ence of the Hawkeye. We have a majority in both
branches, and shall it be said that the Democratic
Legislature Of Iowa dare not refuse to give their de-
criers hush-money! We cannot believe that the
Democracy are to be thus driven into measures hut
that they will stand firm to the last When flushed
with victory there is less honor to be gained bv an
adherence to principles than in trying tirnes-those
that forsake in these times never were with us in
prlnclpe-only for expedency.

GJTThe Hon. Alexander Duncan, Representative
in Congress from the lst district in Ohio has mott
fed Nathaniel G. Pendleton (his competitor at the
late eection that he shall contest his right to seat
In the next congress- for various reasons, specified
In his letter of notification, duly served. DR.. D.
aledges that Pendeton received votes from persons
who had not the legal right to vote being residents
of other States and of other districts in that State
and that votes obtained for him through fraud
and corruption, by giving and promising meat, drink
money and other rewards He further charges that
persons voted for him (PendIeton) twice-that in
the I'd ward in the city of Cincinnati and other pre-
cincts. tickets were introduced into the ballot-boxes
and counted, for which there were no names on the
pobooks, and that at the said precinct or ward the
judges Of the election refused to ask persons Offering
to vote, such questions proper to prevent H.
legal voting, when challenged, all Of which are in
violation Of the constitution of that State, and the
laws thereof regulating elections.
If DR.. Duncan can establish these charges, as we
have no doubt he can, the House of Representative
should again show that no certificate of election,
based upon fraud shall be evidence of title to
seat. The great number of votes then cast over
the number polled at the Presidential! election, is
good evidence that foul play practiced From the
determined character of DR.. D. we have no doubt
that he will investigate the matter so as to convict
the perpetrators Of the crme that they may receive
the punishment they merit.
