A Patriotic EnusiOn.

We have read with pleasure many
thrilling, soul-stirring appeal, delivered in
the hour of danger, in times that tried
mems souls, but certainly nothing so full
of eloquence' so beautiful with "words
that burn" as the following "war talk" Of
a Hoosier Captain to his soldiers on the
report that Mexico had declared war
against "ITncle SAM" has ever met our
peppers. Ready. o. Pic.
Men of blood and friends Of Washing
ton and that old boss, Gen. jackson! |
want your attention. Lightnin' has bust
upon US, and Jupiter has poured the lie Of
his wrath down the greasy shanks o. the
Mexicans. Thunder has broke loose and
slipped its cable, and the mighty valley Of
the Massassip reverberates the thousand
tongued kissing Of Santa Anna and the
smaller ignorant fatius that revolves aronnd
that benighted and wooden-lcgged pop
gun of the Montezumas'
Citizens and sires on the bloody ground
on which our fathers catwamponsly pour
ed out their claret, free as lie, to enrich
the soil over which we now hover, and
watch with hyena eyes: let the catamount
Of the inner varmint loose, and prepare
the chessy cal of vengeance, for the long
looked-for day has arriv! The crockodlle
ofthe Massassip has gone into his hole, and
the sun that lit King David and his host
across the Atlantic ocean, loaks down
upon the scene and drops tear 10 It's
memory! Hoses l am with you! And
while the stars of Uncle Sam and the stripes
of his country triumphantly wave in the
whar-whar is the craven, low
lived, chicken-bred, toad-hoppin', red
mouthed mothers son of We who will not
raise The beacon light of triumph smouse
the citodeI of the agsressor, and press on
ward to liberty and glory! Whoop.-

Belgium has determined to admit into
her ports free Of duty, until next June,
the following articles, viz. Cheese, rye.
barley, buckwheat, Indian corn, beans,
peas, oats, oatmeal, potatoes and rice; and
her Consul residing at Baltimore has been
instructed so to announce the fact. This
is another indication against the Exclusive
System. But we do not like the limita-
ton annexed to the order Of the Belgian
Government. 1t is unfair for this or any
other Government, we do not say, to open
her ports, but to open them when necessi-
ta'ed to do SO, with an intention perhaps o.
shutting them as soon as their starving
people will allow Of it. Let the policy o.
free trade be established among all nations
and then our farmers can live easily BY
growing and selling their produce.

As we exDeffed,

Our neighbor of the Hawkeye has copied
largely from Mr.. Websters speech. on Or
egon, without either approving or disap-
proving it. This does not look quite as
we should like to see it, for we were in
holes our neighbor would take the right
ground on this question, and 60 in for A
merican interests. From what we have
been able to learn, the wings of our Ter
ritory are for Oregon, and for the whole oil
it. Further, we belieAe they are oppos-
ed to farther negotiation or arbi tration;
and that they prefer that it should contin-
ne to be component part Of the Union,
rather than become even an independent
Republic. This being as we believe, the
opinion of the wings here, it would seer
that our neighbor ought not to oppose
that wish, or lie on his arms or let diff
ferent opinion be forced upon his readers
However, we would not dictate to ouu
neighbor. We very much want his abil.
tiles to assist US in defending, by tie gull
this territory, and for this reason we hav,
ventured to throw out the suggestion.
What say, good neis!..,bor, why not defin,
your position?

yet to be ascertainod. We hope, how
ever, for the honor of our cause, that the
ANTI ormone will leave no stone uuturn-
ed and spare no exertion, to ferret out and
deliver to the hands Of justice, the perpe-
trators-let then. be rhom they may,
Major Warren has arrested three per-
sons on suspicion; but we bave not learn
ed the nature of the evidence against
them; and shall, therefore, forbear from
expressing any opinion as to their guilt.
More House Burning.-Our readers
will recollect that Mr.. Daubenheyer's bo-
do was found buried near the residence Of
a Mormon by the name of Rice, at whose
house quad was stationed during the
recent disturbances. The people in the
neighbor.lood, considered him guilty oil
participation in the murder; but for want
Of rroof the law could not be made to
reach him.
Last Wednesday night some persons;
unknown, went to Rice's house and ia.
king him out set fire to and consumed il
with the furniture.
The persons engaged in this act may
have thought that they would be sustained
by the Anti Mormons; but the reverse is
the fact. However great the provocation
we contend that the old settlers Of Han.
cock must remain quiet during the winter
and commit no unlawful act, unless it car
be shown that such illegal proceeding i.
necessary for the protection Of our live
and property.

A SpeCk of war.

From the various news which has reacl-
ed us from abroad, we are informed tha'
our old adversary is busy in preparation
for war. She is certifying her Canadasi
she is protecting her own coast at homes
she is rapidly building steamships Of war;
she is recruiting men for active service.-

which Is gathering is intended TO burst
upon our own happy homes! 1t II Is,

doing? Are they TO stand still and lei
England make all preparation? Have we
forgotten the words Of the immortal Wash
ington, ''In peace prepare for WARP"

young men to lealn the art Of war in day
or month-they ought now 10 form com
panies, to learn how to handle the mnsket
to spend at least one night in every
week in the drill room; and ! can assure
you Messrs. Editors, we can then depend
upon a citizen soldiery that can cope Win
any invader Of our soil. The art OF war
can do us no hurt--we ought to be up
and doing--we have proud city to pro-
tect. II is the only one that has erected .
monument to our Washington, in the IN
ion; and if we forget his words, ''ln peace
prepare for war;" who can tell if that neg
lee, might not result in an hostile army
entering oqr city, and blowing our proud
monument to atoms. For the sake Of our
ancient fame, in the days Of the Rsyol'l-
tion--for the sake Of the gallantry OF our
sons in the late war, on land and on sea-

Your Own Newspaper

Let no farmer, and no other man rail-.
quish the newspaper published in h;s a,...
neighborhood for the sake of taking so m.
other larger, cheaper, or more ponnl.r J.
per, published abroad. The newsn.r p
published in ones own county, is alwa..
as general rule, more valuable Than as.'
other, if it be nothing but for the adra.y
tisements; for even they are thermoma

the cities being furnished at price with
which no country printer can compete. (for
the reason, because made up generally from
the matter once used and paid for in dailv
papers, are cncroaching largely upon The
country newspapers, thus discollrasing i'm
provement and enterprise, and gradually
bringing the whole country under the in.
fluence, and in some sense, the control Of
the leading cliques in the cities. Thus
tone is given TO the morals, the politics
and the habits of the country, and we hes.
itate not to say, that the preponderance of
this influence is bad. The people of ,ba
country get full enough of this influence
through their own papers, and if they could
not complete the supremacy of the cities
over the moral and political destiny of the
country, let them support the country
newspaper. Take the city papers if you
can afford it, and as many of them as you

A grand ball came off not long since, at
Havana, at which the great Banished, San.

The increase in the population of Iowa

great confidence to have exceeded that Of
any former year. The rapidity with which
settlements have extended back is truly
astonishing. From the narrow strip Of
