From the Burlington Qowa) Territorial Gazette
THE CONSTITUTION REJECTED.

Although there are several counties from which
no intelligence has been received in relation the
result of the recent election, enough is known to
render it certain that majority Of the people have
decided against accepting the constitution. The
majority against it will probably not fall short of
However much this result may be regretted, 1t is
one which has been anticipated by many of the
warmcst friends of the constitution ever since the
interference with our boundaries by Congress. To
the change made in State lines, and TO that
alone the rejection Of the constitution to be
ascribed; and we are anxious that our democratic
friends abroad shall bear this fact constantly in
mind. The impression--an erroneous one we
thnk-had gone abroad, that to accept the constit-
ton also to accept the curtailed limits prescrb-
ed by Congress; and rather than do this, without
making at least one moro effort to obtain lines
that would be more satisfactory, hundreds, and
perhaps thousands, who originally intended to
support the constitution, their ballots against
it, They voted thus under the confident expecta-
ton that through the action of the legislature
which is to meet next month an opportunity
would be presented to them at the August
election of ratifying the constitution, dis
connected with the conditions Of Congress;
and in this expectation they will doubtless be graft
fed. The constitution will then come up upon its
own merits and it is easy to foresee the result Its
ratification, by most decisive majority, is among
the most certain of all events. If any doubts ex-
the small majority by which it has been lost in the
face Of the alpervading and deep-rooted objections
to the conditions of Congress, completely dissipates
them. The change in Des Moines county alone
will be more than sufficient insure the ratification
of the constitution in August.
The wing prints and wing leaders of the Terrific
ry will exut over the result, but their triumph is
destined to be one of duration. Though rejected
an early resurrection awaits the constitutions; and
this they know and feel. They have made the most
out of the popular hobby of opposition to the lines
established by Congress, and will now have to fall
back upon their old but temporarily abandoned
ground Of opposition 10 the constitution itself In
such an issue they cannot decoy democrats, and are
sure to be overborne The constitution will be rati-
fed in August, if presented to the people as il came
from the convention, with boundaries not essen
tally modified, and next winter Iowa will be admit
ted into the Union. Such is our prediction.
The returns SO imperfect that we viii not now
undertake to publish them. Nothing is known in
addition to what was published last week, except
that Van Buren, has given about 100 majority for
the constitution, and Dubuque 300 and upwards
against IT.

NORTHERN LIBERTIES.

lNOAN AihEnlN
At meeting of the democratic Association of the
Northern Liberties, held on Thursday, the 29th
inst the following preamble and resolutions, offer.
ed by Benjamin E. Carpenter, were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas late advices from Great Britain seem to
indicate that that government has assumed posi-.
ton in reference to the Oregon Territory of an ag-
gressve character; therefore,
Resolped, That while we deprecate anything and
everything like resort to hostilities for mere abb
stract, punctiious, fanced wrongs and hope that
nothing may occur to interrupt the peaceful rela-
tons now existing between the two countries, we
are willing and ready, whenever necessity calls
upon us to do it. to defend the rights and vndicate
the honor of our country at every hazard.
Resolved, That we believe that the American peo-
pie are united in fixed and immovable determine
ton not to part with one foot Of their rghtu terri
tory, to crafty the vanity or cupidity ofany foreign
power.
Resolped, That this association heartily respond
to the policy pursued by the President in his nau-
gura address, and will give him, in the prosecution
thereof the fullest and most steadfast confidence and
support of American hearts, and, if need be- OF
American arms.

And we have $40, 1865, 230
or the whole amount Of the appropriations for the
fiscal year.
This is a reduction of between seven and eight
millions from the amount of the estimates.
The estimated receipts for the fiscal year were
$40, SOS, 23l; Of which from customs $50 $780,
302; pubclands ~, 0l0 000 miscellaneous $40 000
Estimated balance in the treasury on the LIST of
July, l645, $S,504,929.
According to all this, there will be balance of
twenty millions in the treasury on the LIST July,
1916.
But there is no probability that there will be a
surplus of twelve millions in the treasury the LIST
of July, l845, and none whatever that the revenue
from the customs, for the year ending 30th june
1916, will amount to thirty millions, estimated by
Mr.. Bib.
1t was apprehended, on the contrary, by Mr.. Ev-
ans and Mr.. McDufie, that the government would
be in strait for money before Congress again
vened, and that the revenue for the next fiscal year
would fall far short of the appropriations made for
that year. Asto that, "we shall see."

AN ENeLIsHMAN's OPINION OF OUR NAvY.-A
shrewd writer in the London United Service Journal
says: "There is no doubt that we (the English)
have three powerful rivals in France, Russia, and
the United States; but Of these three the Americans
are the most important ones on account Of their
origin, their courage, and their greater enter
prise and activity than our own" The writer then
proceeds to show that our navy, though numerical
w inferior to that of France and even to that Of
Russia, is intrnsically superior to either, and con-
tains the germ of great and powerful feet. We
have the raw material, the workmen, and sufii-
Gent merchant navy to arm as men of-war, whom
ever called on to do so. Our navy is thing of life;
il is provocative That Of the French and Russians
resembles huge and costly machine, which, once
destroyed, is not easily replaced.
