ANOTHER lie NAILED TO rur ror,r,,
When it was first announced that the Hal
G. G. VERPLANcK, Of New York, had ab,a]
doned Mr.. Clay, and avcwed openly his al
termination to vote for and support Polk ,Ddl
Dallas, the truth Of the statement wa, ms
lively denied by many of the wings; but 500,
after finding that the wing papers of,heiwu
party fully confirmed the story, they then, /,
the next best make-shift, published ii 10 I'D
world that Mr.. V. was a free trade man, md
for that reason left the wings and Joined lhs
Democrats. Mr.. Verplanck himself has pin
en- the quietus TO this story over his own ae
nature and lest it should escape the notice
the federal journal here, through the column,
of which, currency has been given to The |lr |
der. we publish below an extract from his H. F.
ter. Instead of being a free-trade man, will
be seen that he is not, for proof of which
refers TO his advocacy of Mr. Clay's eomW
mise act. The Ithica IN. W Journal su,
that Mr.. V. says, in his letter, in subsans
that
81 went with Mr.. Clay in his advocacy
the compromise act, but beyond this couduo
go. My income and resources arise aIna
entirely from agricultural productions, and
in common with others, have severely hhh(

GO BY passengers on board the Raritan, which
left st. Louis on Tuesday. we learn that the Wing
ticket succeeded in St. Louis but the contest for
sherlff.is so close that it is extremely doubtful
which has succeeded,
Bloomington herald. [volume] (Bloomington, I. T. [Iowa]) 1840-1849, 1844-08-09

PREPARING FOR THE FALL TRApE.-The
Waverly and Raritan have commenced run.
nisg as regular packets between Saint Louis
and this place, leaving the former civ on
Tuesday. and this on Friday. The trade of
Bloomington is beginning to excite attention
abroad.

u We would advise certain would.be
great man in this place, who makes himself
quite bnsy in discussing the merits Of certain
persons in this town, since the election. to be-
ware how far he suffers his prejudices to car
ry him. lest he provoke an exposure of his
own merits, ignorance, and folIies. Os,lers
always resent the kick of horse, and some.
times take offence at the kick Of jackass, and
some editors are equally liable to take offence
when unnecessarily provoked.

RAILROAD TO BALTlMoRe.-One of our con.
temporaries has spoken favorab!y Of the Bal
,imore and Ohio Railroad being continued 10
this city. More thar two years ago we pro-
nounced this as certain pefore many years Ioli-
ed round. The Baltimore company have
built one-third Of the distance at cost Of T.
100000. 1t is estimated that 5000, 900 would
build the remaining $50 miles. and that the
proceeds would yield 10 per cent. on the stock.
This may be put down as safe calculation.
Hundreds Of our. readers will ride 10 New
York on railroad from this city before 10
years from this date.-Cin. Com.

ILLINoIs.-We have unofficial returns from
few counties in this State, in all of which
Democracy is on the rise, rendering the sue.
cess Of the party certain, by majoritjes greatly
increased over former elections.
In Joe Daviess, Hoge obtained handsome
majority, but the Wing ticket was successful
by small majority. In Rock Island, Sweet
will obtain small majority. In New Bos.
ton his majority is ll6; in Warren about 80,
and in Henderson, IL. In Hancock, Hoge's
majority is 1900, and the whole Democratic
ticket by about 700. There is no doubt of
Hoge's reelection to Congress by greatly
increased majority, as is conceded by the
Wings.
In Adams. Douglass received majority Of
3os over his federal opponent, and the entire
Democratic ticket elected by majorities ex-
ceeding 20o.. His majority in SCHUYLER. and
Brown which last year gave wing majority,
is upwards of 900, and the entire Democratic
ticket 10 both counties elected. Douglass.
like Hoge, will be reelected by a majority
much larger than before.-There is no mis-.
take about llIinois-Democracy has always
been in the ascendent there, and is still rising.

Destructive STokM.-On Tuesday even
ing last our town and surrounding country
were visited by one Of the most destructive
storms we have ever witnessed in Iowa. 1t
commenced about 8 o'clock in the evening,
and lasted upwards IF an hour. Some 80 or
40 trees were blown down in the City, and
considerable damage done to Gardner's house,
&C. We learn from the country that much
damage was done to the crops in many pla-
ces. Some places where wheat had been left
in the shock the greater portion of it was de-
stroyed. The corn crop is said to be injured
in some parts of the country. The residence
Of the Rev. A. r. Gardner, who resides few
miles east of this place, was almost Destroy
ed. The roof of the building was blown off
and carried four or five hundred yards. Mr..
G. informs US that his household furnature
was almost entirely destroyed. and that the
escape Of himself and family without personal
injury was miraculous.-Cap. Rep.
Bloomington herald. [volume] (Bloomington, I. T. [Iowa]) 1840-1849, 1844-08-09

THe Pass AND "IRoN HoRsE."-We ex-
tract the following from the elaborate and very
interesting Report Of Rev. g. d. Abbott on
the power of tie Press:
.No rejecting mind can contemplate the
present position Of the United States. without
a full conviction tina, it is without parallel in
the History Of nations; that we live in an era
pregnant with great events; that the press has
for US as vet undeveloped energies, that may
in our land, as it has already done in others,
work reformation or revolution. The whole
land is vast school. The rail car, the steam
boat, the manufac,ury, the workshop. and the
farm yard, The mines Of the Schuykill and Of
Galena, are all schools. The printer is the
daily teacher. Cunard's mail to-day brings
the latest from London and Liverpool, Pare
is and Canton; all night the presses OF Boston
and of New York groan with their labor. and
tomorrow the car and the steamer are bearing
every description of news. and OF moral or I'M
moral influences towards every point OF the
compass. The iron horse, whose sinews are
steel, and whose provender is fire, IL OF for
Washington and Buffalo, ST. Louis and New
Orleans. His unceasing thunder, louder than
that Of the war horse.a echoes among our
hills all day, and his fiery train illumines our
valleys at night. In less time than it once
the news from the other hemisphere is borne
over one half Of this. The mail bags with its
,eeming sheets is dropped in every city and
village of a territory 500 miles square! The
columns of the CHRONICLE and the Times,
read at Mondays breakfast in London, have
but one intervening Sabbath before they snli-
ven the Offices and parlors of Boston and New
York; and ere the Acadia sees Holyhead a.
gain thew are 1900 miles further en-. in the
saloons and varandahs of Louisiana.
Every thing seems to conspire to arouse and
excite the public mind, and reading 1t will
have"
How immeasurably important then is it,,
that the reading furnished be of the right
kind !; such as may contribute TO purify, en-
large and elevate the soul, rather than 10 dis
sipa,e, pervert, and degrade its immortal pow
ers. The public mind is indeed alive, and ca
ger in its curiosity and open for any Impress
zion, which She pen oe,he ready writer may en-
stamp upon it. Probably newspapers are
sought after and read much more than all 9th
er writings. Through these the trde patriot
or philanthropist may give the impreAs oflhis
own pure spirit, to many thousands At ONCE.
And when it is considered, that a Paragraph
committed to one Of these winged messengets
may, in the course of about fortnight, tell
throughout tue United States and throughout
Europe, and 10 few weeks more throughout,
the civilized world, i. can surely be regarded
as no mean pris1lege, thus to give utterance to
| a word Of truth and love 10 mankind. That
| word or that paragraph may contain but one
idea; but that idea will continue 10 explain,
it may be hoped, with happy influences, '.be-
| You'd The bounds Of earth and time."

DUELLING.-There recent atrociOus mas
sacre Of young Cochrane in Washington,
has aroused the sluggish moral sensibili.
ties of the public from their culpable le,h.
argv, to a faint perception of the enormi.
ty Of our fashionable code of honorable
murder. II is strange tina. Americans, so
sensitive on other subjects, shall be so
callous on this. They exercise faslidi-
Gus jealousy over civil, religious and ju
dicial economy. bnt snHor the bloody,
spirit of murder to infest the circles Of So
cial life and call il bravery, chivalry and
honor. Rifles, pistols and blood are the
very innocent themes of chil-cha.. from
the parlor he arth to the crowded saloon.-
Nor will the quarrel, the challenge, the
fearful preparation for the duel-no.hing
blu, blood itself awaken us from the strange
moral apathy, which, SO long INDUCED,
has almost become apart of our nature
When we see the LIES blood oozing in
clo,led masses from ghas,ly wound
when we see the bitter anguish of the
mother, the sister, or the wife-it is then
only we see the unmitigated horrors of
this bloody code Of honor
When is this evil TO be stopped 3
When will the moral sense of community
cease to be outraged by tnsse bloody feats
Of chivalry!' Is there no law of God
or man which takes cognizance of this
foul and revolving oarbarism Divine jus
tice may no, be distrusled, but the fimsy
barrier interposed by the American Con-
gross is only solemn buresque upon the
efficiency of human law. Make duelIing
a capital ofence-add the terrors of the
halter to the hazards Of the bullet-and
chivary' will soon be at discount
These reforms had better be left to moral
means while such can act but when these
cease 10 be adequate, the strong arm of
civil power should be inerposed to arrest
the fearful progress of vice and barbarism.
