We know OF no man in Iowa on whom
the people could besow their sunrages TO
hotter advantage for the first Governor Of
the State than on the Honorable Thomas
McKNIoHT. lie has been in Iowa ever
since i, had an existence. and previous to
that, while be was member of the Coun-
ell when the Legislature of Wisconsin
met in this place, he was highly esteem
ed and much respected. All our older
citizens remember him as one Of the mos,
talented and influential members of ,hs,
body. He was appointed Receiver in the
Land Office a, Du Buque, by Fan Buren,
which Office he held until removed by the
present Administration. So much esteem
ed was he by all parties that several hun
dred democrats in Du Buque remonstra,-
ed agains. his removal and pe,lioned the
Presiden, to retain him in office. We
have known him for the last nine years,
and we know no man go exactly fitted for
the office Of Governor. His intimate
knowledge Of the Territory from its in
fancy-his elevated moral characteristic
high intellectual endowments- land his
regard for the interests of the people emf
nen,ly qualify him for the station to
which we believe majority Of the PEG.
pie will elevate him on the 90 day Of
this month. He is truly the peoples man.
We say nothing Of his opponent. All we
know Of him is that he is a Mr. Briggs of
Jackson county, and because he lived in
Jackson county and The Polkites were de-
termined to give that county something
on account of lis giving the greatest ma
jority for the Constitution, and because
bis name was Briggs,he was nominated.
We know no more of him than this. We
hope, however TO be better acquainted
with him hereafter, as we look to see
both the candidates in our part of the Ter.
ritory before the election.

''One of the most delightful pecu.

struck my fancy, is the public garden,
planted on the site ofthe ramparts;
glrdle of verdure and shade-of trees
and flowers circling the whole city;
accessible to all and on every side

ofthe poor. Fifty men are employed
to keep 1t in order, and it is forbidden
to steal the flowers or to kill the sing.

some mischievous wretch had shot a
nightingale in this public garden, and
was caught in the act. His punish.
ment was characteristic; his hands
were tled behind him, and a label set
ting forth his crime was fixed on his
breast; in this guise, with a police
officer on each side, he was marched
all round the gardens, and made the
circuit of the city, pursued by the his
ses ofthe populace, and the abhorrent
looks OF the upper classes; he was not
otherwise punished, but he never a
gain made bis appearance within the
walls of the city. This was the only
instance which could learn of the
infraction of ii law which might seem
at least nugatory."

could be devised here, for the hard
hearted or thoughtless boys, who, in

TO An ABSENT WIFE.

'Iis morn-the sea-breeze seems to bring
Joy, health, and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, TO me all strange and new,
Are glittering inlhe early dew
And perfume rise from every grove
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkin clear
But am sad-thou art not here.
IT'S noon-a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep
A soft haze like fairy dream
Is floating over wood and stream
And many broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is cleaning like lovely star
But am sad-thou art afar.
lis eve-on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes
The stars come down and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the wave below
And, like some unseen sprte, the breeze
Seems lingering mid these orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot
But am sld--l see thee not.
Ills midnight--wih soothing spell
The far tones Of the ocean swell
Soft as mothers cadence mild
Low bending DER her sleeping child
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mocking bird
In many wild and wondrous lay
But am sad--thou art away.
SINK In dreams--low, sweet, end clear,
Ihy own dear voice is in my ear
Around my cheek thy tresses twine--
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine
Thy own soft lip 10 mine is pressed
Thy head is pillowed en- my breast
Oh! have all my heart holds dear
And am happy--thou art here.

As down IN glass they were dropping,
And would not unite,
But continued 10 fight,
Without any prospect of stopping.
Some pearlash o'erheard,
And as quick as word,
He jumped in the midst of the clashing,
When all three agreed,
And united with speed,
And soap was created for washing.
