Our Legislature had hard time Of it
last Friday. in endeayoring to white wash
the Presidents Message. By reference
to the proceedings of the Council it will be
seen that the decision Of that body was
not very complimentary to Mr. Van Bu-
rem. The following are the resolutions,
introduced by our friend Mr. SuMMERs; TO-
gether with the vote in the House:--
Joint resolutions approaching the views
set forth in the late message OF the Pre-
sident Of the United States.
Resolved by the Council and House OF
Representatives of the Territory Of Iowa
That the principles and views of the Pre-
sident of the United States generally, as
set forth in his recent able message to
Congress, are such as commend them
selves to the cordial appreciation of this
legislative assembly.
Resolved, That approaching the bold
and manly course in the President in his
efforts TO restore to the country consli-
tu,ional currency, this legislative assem-.
bly, especially applaud his luminous dis
cussion Of this subject, as clearly demon.
s,rating the identity of the best interests
of the country with their final adoption.
| Resolved, That the course of policy
pursued by the present general admins
trasion towards the western country, has
been liberal beyond example, and such as
is deserving the appreciation of the set
tiers.

Since our last we have been called on
by the late Speaker for an explana-
ton of the language used by us in COM
menting on his vote about the printing of
the Journals. To a note addressed to us
by him, we made the following reply:-
Burlington, Jan. Is, 1910.
EDWARD JOHNSTON, Esq.
Sir, In reply to your note of this
date. containing quotation from the
"Hawk-Eye," and calling upon me to
state "clearly and distinctly what is inten-
ded by the above quotation all have
to say is that the language therein en-
ployed is founded on common rumor, and
the intention of its publication was to
give the public information that such a
rumbr was aaoat, which, as an editor of a
public Journal, presume had the right
to do. Yours, &c.
JAMES G. EDWARDS.
This answer did not fully satisfy him.
Subsequently we had an interview and at
his request we promised to state that we
did not personally know of there being
any foundation for such rumor. although
it was in existence. We now fulfil tina,
promise by asserting that we do not know
from any personal knowledge we have on
the subject, that there is any foundation
for such report.

VIRGINIA ELECTION

The noble triumph of the DEMOCRATIC Re-
PUBLICAN PARTY in the late election in Virginia
ought to re-animate the exertions of our friends
in every State by the pledge it affords them of
the cooperation of that ancient commonwealth
in the vital work of regeneration now to be ac-
complished. II seals the fate of Van Buren,
federalism in that State, and we trust it is omi-
nous of its destiny throughout the south. We
republish our table of Delegates elected, which

TO THE PUBLIC.

Finding it impossible, in consequence of en-
feebled health to perform the duties Of Post
master General in satisfactory manner, have
resigned that Office, TO take effect as soon as my
successor shall be appointed.
Not having been fortunate enough to accumu-
late wealth in public office, am under the
necessity of resortng TO such private employ
ment is suited to my strength and condition,
for the purpose of meeting the current expenses
of considerable family.
A few hours each day devoted TO the pen,
leaving an abundance Of time for relaxation and
exercise, | have found by experience, from the
excitement Of composition, TO be rather con-
ductive to health than injurious, and this is the
occupation, above all others, most agreeable to
my taste and present inclination.
Messrs. Blair & Rives have kindly offered me
the profits of such subscription to the Extra
Globe, Tor the present season, as may be raised
on my account, and | have consented to contri-
butte to it until November next, if such num-
Der of subscribers shall be obtained as will war
rant that step.
| am the more inclined TO this devotion of my
time from a desire to prevent any msconstruc-
ton of the motives which have led to my resig-
nation / wish to satisfy the whole world that
no dissatisfaction with the President or his ad-
ministration, no indisposition to render it the
utmost support in my power, no distrust OF its
measures or its designs, has any effect In deter
mining me TO prefer private to public station.
On the contrary, my confidence in the President,
in his integrity, his principles, and his frmness,
have increased from the day was first officially
associated with him; my relations with every
member Of his Cabinet have been uniformly OF
most friendly character; and my devotion to
the great measures which have been and still
are, sustained by the administration, knows no
abatement. The leading principles avowed by
the President look upon as essential to the pre-
servation Of liberty and government OF the
people, and if had supposed that my resigna-
ton could endanger their success, should have
chung to Office as / would to life.
AS soon as the necessary arrangements are
made, proposals, with more extended address,
will be presented to the friends Of the admins
tration. AMOS KENDALL.
