Letters have been received from the de-
tachment Of U. S. troops, under the COM
mand Of Colonel KEARNEY, out from Fort
Leavenworth about eight days, and distant
some one hundred and thirty miles. The
expedition was progressing rapidly, and
were in good spirits and health. They had
passed several companies, IN ro,de for Ore
gon. The ernigrants were getting along
well, and with very little trouble. About
three thousand persons are reported to be
on the route: they are divided into compa-
MES Of one to two hundred, which travel
IN advance Of each other about a DAYS
march. Each company has from 500 to
700 head Of cattle. The emigrants appear
TO De good class Of people, possessing
many Of the conveniences, and some even
the luxuries, of life. A large party of the
emigrants were several days in advance Of
the troops under Colonel KEARxEY. It's
probable that the Colonel will make rapid
marches until he gets in advance Of all the
emigraRts, as their precedence ofhim would
render It more difficult to obtain game and
subsistence for his men. The grass was
and il abundance for the supply q. the
horses. .--N. Losis Rep.

RALPH P. Lowe, Esq, Of Bloomington,
has been brought out as the whig candidate
for Delegate, by some two or three dozen
persons who met at Iowa City on the 18th
instant. Mr.. L. is a clever, social man,
IA highly respectable lawyer, and possesses
fair talents. What can have induced him
to consent to offer himself up as sacrifice
to his party at the present time, when those
who nominated him do not dream of sue
|cess, is more than we can imagine. We
supposed the drubbirg the democracy Of
Muscatine gave him few years since,
when they beat him for the Legislature
with plain old farmer Holiday, would have
satisfied his curiosity, but it seems not.
Well, ifhe's determined on trying his luck
again, we welcome him to the track; but
IF he doesn't find himself ga used up COM
'munity" at the outcome, we'll cease to deal
i'm phrophecy.
Mr.. Lowe is an call fred'' whig, and
|wlli probably come as near uniting the vote
|of his party as any other man, but he can
mot expect the slightest support from dem
|ocrats. He is, too, openly opposed to the
constitution, and Of course can receive no
support from the friends Of that instrument.
Indeed, there seems to be manifest i'm
propriety in sending man to Washington
to intercede in favor of our admission who
is himself opposed to the constitution under
which we will be admitted. We will have
time to dwell upon this subject hereafter
more at large.

The Hawkeye broadly asserts that a
IS'borgain was effected in Iowa City" at the
recent democratic convention, by which
the opposition of those opposed to the nom-
Iination Of Gen. Dodge awas sold and bar
tered away for the promises Of Offices to
their leaders, a more unfounded and
funblushing falsehood was never uttered
never conceived. There does not exist the
slightest groundwork for even such sup
.position among sensible men. The fact
that some whose names had been men,
toned in connexion with the Delegacy, to-
'gether with those who favored their pre-
tensions, cordially united in sustaining
the nomination Of Gen. Dodge, after it be-
come apparent such nomination was de-
.creed BY very large majority Of the peo-
pie, may seem unaccountable to those who
cannot comprehend how disinterested
and patriotic act may be performed, but it
will be mystery to such only. Demo-,
Gratis know how to account for these
things, if wings do not. As the conven-
;tion was constituted there was no necessity
for bargaining, for five sixths Of the mem-
,bers came prepared to support Gen.
Dodge; but had it been otherwise-had the
nomination fallen upon any other gentle
man-our opponents would have found our
party just - united and harmonious as it Is
now, and they would have been just as
sure Of suffering defeat and discontinue.

The Murder Trials.

The trial Of the brothers Hodges, charged
with the murder of Miller, in Lee county,
came on last Monday, and has occupied the
whole Of the present week. A vast num-
ber of witnesses have been examined,
which Of course has occupied much time.
The crowd in attendance has been large'
but their conduct throughout has been
marked by propriety and decorum. The
trial had not come to close at the time of

ssror the Constitutions"
The bill authorizing poll to be opened
At the August election to receive votes for,
andagainst the constitution having become q
law, it behooves the friends Of State gov-,'
ernment to buckle on their armor, and pre-,
pare for vigorous contest. They have.
now clear field before them, and can ex-,
press their sentiments in relation to the con-,
'stitution without in any way compromit-'
ting themselves in favor Of the boundary
prescribed by Congress; but, on the other
hand, the adoption Of the constitution, with
out reference to the conditions attached to
Jour admission, will furnish the strongest
possible evidence of our desire to adhere to
the convention boundaries, and cannot but
|be regarded by Congress as most em-
(phatic protest on our part against the action
had by that body on the subject last session.
The vote in August, then, will be given
with strict reference to the merits Of tie
constitution; and with this issue presented
there can be no doubt of the result, unless
the democrats abandon the field, and per-
NIT the election to go by default. This, in
their present mood and temper, they will
hardly do. The principles Of the constitu-
|tion are eminently popular with the peo-
Eple, and it cannot be that the opportunity
now presented TO engraft these principles
upon the State for our government in all
time to come, viii be permitted to be pas
sed by unimproved. Besides, it has been
exultingly asserted by the whig press Of
the Territory, that the constitution was re.
jected in April, not on account ofthe amend.
ments made by Congress, as is well knowr
to have been the fact, but because of the
unpopularity of its principles, and general
defects. The democrats owe 1t to them.
selves to disprove the truth Of this asser.
tion, SO notoriously false; and they viii
disprove it in the most emphatic way, BY
voting aFor the Constitution when inter.
rogated at the polls.
The opponents Of the constitution, there
is much reason to believe, base their only
hope Of success upon the supineness ant
inactivity of those who are favorable to the
adoption of that instrument. In this lei
them be disappointed. Now is the time
to make determined effort-now the Pc
riod to consummate that which the un.
looked for action Of Congress prevented
us from consummating in April. Luke
warmness should give way to zeal-leth-
argy to activity. All should bestir them
selves, and thereby place the adoption Of
the constitution beyond the possibility of
contingency. The constitution is known
to be exceedingly popular abroad; it has
been complimented in all directions, and
by some Of the most eminent men of the
country has been pronounced the best pa
per Of the kind in the Union. Its rejec-
ton by a Territory known to be democrat
ic has injured us in the estimation Of ou.
political friends who are not acquainted
with the attending circumstances; and il
should, and we hope will, be the effort Of
every democrat in the Territory to wipe
out this blot as soon as the opportunity is
afforded.
