or fifty millions Of dollars professedly to
"conqucr peace" with Mexico, backs ou,
and before the adjournment asked Con-
gress for an additional appropriation TO be
placed at his disposal to "purchase peace"
with Mexico. 1t will be seen tina, Con.
gress did not grant him the two millions.
What a precious President we have got!
He has become as great bore TO the
Democrats as ever John Tyler was to the
Wings. Look a, his Message, which
declared tina, our title to the whole of
Oregon was "clear and indispu,able,"
and then see him crouching to the British
Lion. by willingly taking the half Of it.
Then look at his management in getting
the nation into an unnecessary and wick.
ed war with Mexico, and now wishing TO
"buy" peace with them. Was there
ever such thing heard Of! The Demo-
Gratis around here are so sick of him, thai.
we heard of one who had named his dog
James X. Polk out Of compliment TO the
President, but who now declares he is
ashamed Of the name, and is determined
10 call his dog after some better democrat.

The late Caucus IA, Du Buque by the
Old Hunkers or Dodge clique had some
difficulty in apporsioning all the Offices
satisfactorily. Unless they give the 9th.
er branch or Young Democracy. some of
the Offices there will be all sorts of things
10 pay. The Junior Branch, or Young
Democracy are much more powerful than
some have thought them to be. They
see that the Dodge clique have had every
thing their own way for a long time
There are number Of talented men,
comparatively speaking. in the Junior
Branch Of the Iowa Democracy and they
feel that they are entitled TO some Of the
spoils, especially as to them is TO be a'sri'
bu,ed all the credi. of carrying the new
Constitution. We advise the Dodge
clique to make terms with the Juniors
without any delay, by allowing them U.
s. Senator, a Congressma", one or two
Judges and some Other offices. They
need advice fror disnteresled source.
and as we give it "free gralis," we be.
lieve a they are wise men they will fol-

Iowa Democracy come together and ac'
as brethren in fair division of The spoils
the harmony thus secured between them,

ton and we shall expect hereafter to be
called the Locofoco "Peacemaker."
or course, the People will have moth
ing to do in this matter. All these loco

people to place them in Office. They
anticipate no difficulty in obtaining these
There will be none, probably, unless the
people should be stubborn and determine

themselves, without regard to politics

Another star has been added TO our Clio.
rious constellation, the Senate having ad.
mitted Wisconsin into the Union. The
sls'erhood now number twenty-nine. -
Little Iowa is preparing TO take her place
at the family altar, as the thir,ie,a.
We clip the above from the Cumber-
land Civilian, Md. II is little strange
that our old friend, MUD, should not un.
derstand how the matter stands, and as
others may be as ignorant as he seems TO
be, it is necessary for us to state the rela.
tons Iowa and Wisconsin sustain to the
Government. Iowa was admitted by act
Of Congress two years ago, just as Wis.
consn now is-but that did not ensure
hss entrance into the Union. The people
rejected the Constitution framed bv the
first Convention and thus, in a measure,
nulli6ed the action Of Congress. What.
ever course Congress may pursue in re-.
lation to the admission Of Territories into
the Union, its action is not compulsory
or binding unless ratified by the people of
the Territories. Congress at its late ses.
sion repealed its former law curlailing our
boundaries in accordance with the require
ments Of the new Constitution which W as
adopted by the people Of Iowa on the lst
inst, and as there is now nothing in the
way either on the part Of the people Of
Iowa or of Congress, all Iowa will have
to do is to send her Constitution on a, the
next session, with her tive Senators and
two Representatives, and all will be re.
ceived. So that 10 all intents and purpo-
ses. Iowa is now State. Not so with
Wisconsin. The people Of tina. Terrific.

State Constitution, but the Delegates to
that Convention are not yet chosen, nei.
Their will they be until next month. The
Constitution they frame must be present.
ed to the people. 1t may be acceptable
to the people. If not, and i, is voted down,
Wisconsin will be just where Iowa has
been ever since the agitation Of the State
Government question until the first of this
mon,h-a Territory and not State. l.
will be seen, then, that in any event Iowa
will be admitted into the Union before
Wisconsin.

believe are now about all in, will be open.
ed. Our next paper will probably give
the result. We think the majority for
the Constitution will be smaller than is
anticipated by its friends. Many who
voted for the Constitution now wish the
majority was the other way. The anti
republican feature in it. which prevents
the majority from ruling, makes them
feel bad every time they think Of it.

fares between this place and Keokuk in
our last paper was founded on informa.
lion we received from what we consider.
ed good source. AT the time we were
not aware that Mr. Perry, who is respect.
ed by all who know him, had any thing
TO do with either line. The rap he gives
US over the knuckles does us no hurt
therefore, as it is undeserved and uncalled
for. We are very free to acknowledge
that the public are much indebted 10 the
enterprise Of both Messrs Perry and Hol
comb for their superior accommodations
They now run a four horse post coach
between Burlington and Keokuk daily
If, as is limited in the following com.

instrumental in leading the regular line to
put on better teams and better coaches
than formerly, it is so much better for the

DEAR SIR:-l see in your last paper
you notice under the head of .schea2 ira
veling," that the opposition between the
two lines Of stages running between Bur.
lington and keokuk has reduced the fare
to two bits. This is the first and only
notice Il Believe that you have ever
found it convenient to take of the stage
accommodation in which | have any in.
terest at your city. l have at very con.
siderable expense, Gin connection with Mr.
Holcomb, )starsed line of four horse pos,
coaches from Burlington to Keokuk--
leaving each place every morning. Per-
haps you may have noticed something OF
this. l wish it distinctly understood tina,
| do not, and never have carried passen.
ger from Burlington to Keokuk for two
bits. Perhaps, also, you may recollec,
something abou. the stage accommodation
between Burlington and Keokuk, prior to
my putting my stock on the road.
In conclusion, l would merely sugges,
that if the stage arrangement between
Burlington and keokuk, deserved any
notice at all at your hands, il deserved a
very different enc, from the one with
which you have seen fit to snligh,en the
public. Respectfully, yours,
G.. H. PERRY.
