0E~The Statesman OF last week tries 10
be most ercrutiatingly witty at the expense
of the Wing candidate for the Legislature
inihis county; and fearing he would not be
able 10 SNAKE il out' himself, has secured
the servicesof "Philo Jackson," perhaps a
leetle the incest man this side of Big Creek.
Both together, however, will ind il an Sup
hill business-the attempt TO ride Barney
into the Legislature-partly on account OF
hot weather, and partly on account Of The
unpigliagness of the people to drag the car
with these Jockeys in the lead. The Col
is not Sin keeping either, for so long a race,
and all the squirting that "Philo'' and Burns.
as iockies-who, we suppose, intend TO "ride
and tie"-can apply, will not serve TO keeF
their nag within a squirrels jump of the
"Iittle s%orrel." Gentlemen, we "got you
bottom and your speed'' last November; and
to bet on this race is ike "takin' a fellow;
money, y but if you viii fooIit away, why
down with your s~pizerinetums.

IOWA.-The people of Iowa territory
have rejected the new constitution just sub
miited to them. New plans are put forth
Among others the Dubuque Express propo-
ses thai the Legislature just elected, and
which assemblies in May next, shall take
measures for the calling ola new convention
to devise another constitution, with such
boundaries as may be acceptable to Con
grese. Admitting that the boundaries of the
Stals as defined IN the rejected constitution,
we're too extensive, the Express proposes,
that the Missouri river shall be insisted on as
the western boundary, and that a limit shall
be adopted on the north, which shall exclude
Dubuque, Clayton, Delaware and other
counties from the proposed State. THE
country thus excluded, it is proposed shall
form a new territory, to be called the terri
tory Of Washington.

@ From an advertisement in another CO.
lumn, it will be seen that HERR ALEXANDER,
the sgreat wizzardre-Eor such he is styled
throughout the worlds expected here in a
few days, and will exhibit his truly astonish-
ing feats of natural magic, for one or two
nights. He is so justly celebrated that it is
unnecessary for usto do more than mention
the treat about to be afforded our citizens.
We however, publish the following from the
Louisville Journal which has just met our
eve, as one of bis clever tricks:
"ALExANpER AND HIS HAT.--It is not our
intention 10 peak Of the hat of Alexander, the
great ~couquefor, but of the hat OF Alexander,
the magician, who, like his great namesake,
knows how to unite the hardest Gordlan

and utter amazement depicted in the human
face we certainly saw it during those two
evenings. One feat excellcd another, one

most wonderful ofhis performances; we mean
the feat with the hat al the conclusion of his
exhibition, which alone would be sufficient TO
entitle him to the name of the greatest ma
gician that ever came TO the United States.
He took a hat Of one Of the gentlemen pre-
seat, and without going near the table on
which his apparatus stands, and after he had
convinced every one that the hat was empty,
he took out Of it several hundred little bou-
quets, which he distributed among the ladies'
and gentlemen. Every one seemed to ask,
where in The compass of possibility did al
those flowers come from? Utter astonish-
ment was depicted on every countenance,
and a laundering applause rewarded the won
derful artist for his feat. Now ii was thought
the hat must be empty, but no; Alexander the
Great continued to take outoi The hat ahun-
dred little flags intermixed with flowers,
which he threw among the spectators; then.
amid the loudest cheering, he threw out Of

concluded this most wonderful feat by pull

yards long, while the orchestra struck up
