That nofnriols sl,nderer John Is. kusscll OF

IA, no were once kicked behind in Fort Madison
| b, Mr. Rich We pronounce such statement gross
fabrication. Russell is one of the Triangle Compa-
nv with which Van Antwerp is connected, ana as ne
obtained his quid pro quo, he is bound 70 sustain

We extract the above from the Hawkcye OF me
| 18th inst. fer the purpose Of submitting propose
ton to the editor for clear and satisfactory seenle
of the matters above alluded to- If we arc sande1-
err. as stated by the editor of the Hawkeye, he owes
it to the country to establish the fact that those IN
iured by any statement have made, may DC REM
stated in their former standing, and the community
be guarded against whatever may hereafter be stated
concerning any individual in our country. That ei-
Their the editor of the Hawkcyc or ourse have wide
" strayed from truth, we free to admit, and as
VIC feel confident that we not the erring one, we
feel disposed to find out who the siaaderer is, that
the mark may be placed upon him.
For this purpose we propose to the editor, to JON
issue on these matters and try the case before an
unerring trbunal--she bar of public opinion II the
proposition is accepted, we SHALL as we now do, de-
ny the truth of every statement except that we wish
ed to turn the edge of the rdicule upon him, and,
that we before stated that he was "kcked behind
| by Mr. Rich We re-afirm our former statcmeAt
that he was kicked by Mr. Rich and will prove il If
| the editor daes to join issue.
If we have ever said dught against any individual
wilfully inuring their character let the editor show
it. or cease his charges of that character, against u.s.
Ever since we showed him up in his true character
in regard to abolitionsn lying, &c, he has INDUCED
in the basest lies against us. These have here
tofore borne, simply denying their truth, ard Offer
ing such statements, in proof our innocence, as the
truth called for and supported US in. They have
been followed up about as long as we can bear. If
the editor will agree to the proposition, will os-
ablish our statements reract, ard he must do the
same and he refuses thus to settle matters long in
controversy one thing CERTAIN and that is, that he
can soon Justly pronounce Us coward, or we can
prove to the satisfaction OF the people that he CAN
BE KICKED!

U JAMES B. GLESrwoRrH. tbs prince of the
Pipe-ayers, in New York, has published an address
to the people of the United States, in which he ad-
mits his guilt, and promises complete disclosure of
their unholy transactions. He expresses deep regret
that he allowed h.se to participate with 9TH
trs in transaction, for which he has been compelled
by circumstances, to be the only sufferer, and COM
plains bitterly of the treatment he has received from
his confederes since his detection which treatment
he was compelled to bear in silence until he was
freed from the penalty of the law by the statute of
limitations He states that Governor Seward had a
knowledge of their plans, and removed him from the
office of Tobacco Inspector, knowing that he was
competent and faithful that they might SO degrade
him that when freed his disclosures might not be
believed. He further states that his conederates,
through fear of him. secretly aided him, while, at the
same time, they were publicly tenouncing him.
When he shall have made full disclosure, whig-
gerry will stand in beautiful light before the country

On last Saturday evening, in accordance with pre-
vious notice. meeting OF the citizens Of this county
was held in the School house, to give expression
of their views in relation to the valuation BILL now
before the Legislature. After wrangling for some
time, resolutions favorable to change Of the present
law, were adopted.
This being accomplished, the meeting again Oh
ganized for the purpose of petoning the Legislature
to change the name of this place to such other as
might appear the most acceptable to majority of the
people. Upon taking the sense of the meeting, it
was found that majority were favorable to giving it
the name of" Muscatine. This kicked up the dell.
Some were determined to stick to their choice, and
our country friends, thinking the present name good
enough, have since, strongly protested against any
change being made SO, with such dissensions among
us, Bloomington will be Bloomington through all
time to come. we presume.
We have received communication on the sub
iect but as it reflects little the course of some of
those who simply expressed preference, and might
create little unkind feelings among those who ought
to act as brothers, we choose to withhold it. and let
the subject die as soon possible. We acted thro'
motives that do discredt, in all we said upon
the subject, and conceding the same to others, we
beg that all concerned play "quits," and let good
feeling prevail.

For the Herald
HsH.3T IS LIFE?

What is life? fleeing phantom,
Transient as the morning dew
All his actions done in random,
Ever changing ever new.
What is life CLEAN Of sorrow.
Sprinsing from the silent tomb,
Here to day and gone tomorrow
In eternity's dark womb.
Life's shadow, faint and feeting.
A bubble bursting on the stream;
Death and life forever meeting
Evanesccnt as a dream!
Death is near him with a syclei
Tyrant King and life slave,
Life. like death. yes! cen SO tickle!
Both are standing in the grave.
