sSoft words tufa away Angtr."

Our friend over the way is extremely
petalent this week, but we hope he will
not lay violent hands upon any one. He
ought not to blame poor mortals for not
seeing az he sees, because all do not look
through his glasses. In his anger he has
fallen upon Judge Mason, Shepherd Letter
and J. c. Hall. They must feel extreme
~ awkward. He has attacked Mr.. Hall
SO sharply, that we do not know what vii
be the result. We hope friend Hall will
not leave town this week; better stop and
take another shot friend H. In addition to
this he has threatened to write chapter,
were it not for treading on the toes Of the
City Solicitor. This is very gracious,
certainly. Never mind that friend E., the
City Solicitor informs US that you can tread
on his toes whenever it is convenient, if
you will run the risk. Still further, he
hes blown up all the democratic presses in a
lump, because they don't look through bet
ter mediums. Now . good school mast 7
needs to be patient. Then he has hit Al
Illinois, because . democratic nomination
there, is equivalent to an election. Then
he chastises the democracy in Lee county.
The editor Of the Bloomington Herald mex,
gets knock, and ct the same breath he
tells tia Lee County Democrat he won,
stop calling the democrats loco focos. AZ
ter hitting Us winder in his course, he
is found on the top Of the Mormon temple,
delivering sermon on the beauties Of
Mormon honesty. We are sincerely sor-
~ to see our neighbor in 50 uncomfortable
moode, we are, certainly. He is in troub-
le, and We should think had been reading
the lamentation of the Hawkeye.

SPEECH or GENERAL CASS.

We would calfthe readers attentiSs.to
the mastery speech Of Gen. CAss, deliver
ed in the Senate Of the United States on the
subject Of non-interference BY European
powers in the affairs Of the independent
nations Of America. This il new ques-
ton, and one which may hereafter Be re-
garded a. the most prominent Of the lead
ing questions Of the day. We bespeak for
It the candid perusal Of our readers; and
we venture the prediction in advance, that
il will not fail to meet the appreciation Of
every lover Of his country's rights, and his
country's honor.

Defeat d The Cabinet In. Ensland.

The English press attribute the defeat
Of Lord Joon Russel, il attempting to form
= cabinet, to Lord Gray. Lord John pro-
posed to make Palmerston Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, but Lord Gray would not
accept place in the cabinet, with Pal
merston in that place. Palmerston is q
war man, and Gray Of different mould.
Gray alleges that Palmerston's appoint
ment to that place would not only cause
uneasiness at home, but produce want Of
confidence abroad. Lord Gray is damed
oy the press generally, but the Spectator
justifies him, and shows that GRAY was
not actuated by a feeling Of enmity to PAL
merstcn, from the fact that he was willing
he should have any other place in the
cabinet, even the one Lord John offered "a
him.

Hawk has found his Specks,

We are happy to inform our readers that
our very worthy friend Of the Hawkeye
has found his specks, and had them in prac-
teal use ever since his last paper. Look
ing through these two prophetic glasses he
has announced the following results Of his
observations.
He has found that Benton goes in for
giving England all Of Oregon down to
40 degrees, and that she viii get the best
end Of the bargain, and intimates that he is
dissatisfied with such an arrane ement,
Now We do not know what will be the re-
suit Of this question, but be II what it NAV,
we are for the whole Of Oregon still. And
here Tut US say, that during the whole VIM
ter, the editor Of the Hawkeye has been
publishing anti-Oregon speeches, hesving
cut every slur he could pick up against
those persons who went for the whole, war
or no war. But after he has done all he
could for the British side Of the question,
after he has gone in for further negotia ion,
and even for arbitration, he now pretends
to slnr the democracy because negotiation
is likely 10 be renewed. h a
HMr. Edwards has been at heart in "a
vor Of Oregon, the whole Of Oregon, then
has he been most base political coward,
a mere tail to be dragged after abe leading
federaists Of the country. If he has been
opposed to it, at heart, he now shows con-
tempt for common honesty. Why do you
..Y., Hawk, vyrne vuts why do you not
raise your voice against the expressions of
Great Britain? Why do you not sound the
toscin, and let the people hear the alarm
gun. il you are for Oregon, and are afraid
the democrats will give it up Why not
come nut, sir, like man, and not like .
serpent keep your hiding place from pub
lie gaze? You are for giving up all down
to 40, rather than have war. You are for
arbitration rather than have war. You are
for the negotiation rather than have war.
You are for giving Great Britain the free
navigation Of the Columbia rather than have
war. You are for giving her every har-
Dor down 70 the mouth Of the Columbia
rather than have war. You dare not deny
it, and until you do, stand convicted Of these
charges in the eyes Of the people, and Of
acting the hypocrite in pretending you are
opposed to further negotiation, when you
desire it. -

Small Po1.,

There is nothing like the small pox in
Burlington, neither has there been, as here
tofore reported, to the great disadvantage
Of our merchants, traders, and others. BY
alarming our farmers. so much SO, as to
prevent them from visiting the city to
either buy or sell. We would say to
our friends in the country, "come one,
come ALL" and pay no regard 10 the flying
reports now being circulated in the coun-
try, as they are a. false as gratuitous.

Origin Of .Nsssages.-It is said that
Gov Hancock, which Governor Of Mass.
sent the first message to the Massachusetts
Legislature, that was ever despatched to

by his sickness. Hence arose the custom
Of senling messages, instead Of delivering
them in person.

STATE GOVERNMENT QUESTION.

The Hawkeye Of Thursday says we
lodged the main question on the State gov.
eminent question, and had not . word to
say about the proposed amendments he Of
teredto the constitution. We prepared an
arlicle upon ono Of his amendments, but it
was not put in because our hands got q
little behind the time. We intended then,
to insert it this week, but BY reason Of the
length of Mr.. Cass' speech, and commu-
nication on the government question, we
shall defer it this week also. But lest our
federal friend may have the fever and ague
on account Of it, we viii define our posi-
ton on his amendments. and will discuss
them at an other time.
First then, we 60 against all religious
testss Of whatever description, Let such
|ot3ections go to credibility and not to the
competency.
I'd. Six months residence in the State
is long enough to entitle one TO vote.
Should have no objections against longer
residence in the county than thirty days;
say three months.
Sd. In article 4, sect. IS, Of the old con-
stitntion, we would not leave the salaries
to Legislation. Some Of the salaries we
think are too low. For instance, that Of
Governor and Judges.
9TH. To be eligible to the office Of Gov
ernor we are not particular, whether the
required residence shall be four or two
years. Four years should be the maxi
mum.
9th. As to Judges of the Courts, our
opinion is, that they should be nominated
by the Governor, and confirmed by the
Senate, if that shall be made the Cows.
Council. We should not be 50 particular
about the district Judges. The term Of
their Offices should be defined, and not ex-
coed seven years in any case.
9th. The laws contracting debts men,
toned in sect. 6, of article 3, we think
should be published in all political news
papers in the State, so that the people gem
era;'y can read Tor themselves. We are
not quite sure but this would need some
qualification. AT any rate, we think they
should be published alike in the papers Of
the t,ro great political parties.
7lh. Sect. 2 Of article 8, perhaps might
bear some qualification.
9Th. Sect. 4 Of article 8 we 20 in for,
BY night and BY day. Let the Stat. o
rather the people always keep the staff in
their own hands. Our doctrine is, ale
that maketh can unmake." H 3
9Th. Sect. S same article, we think
is too strong. The property Of individ-
uals should be protected by wise provis-
ions, but to say rail road. for instance,
should not, in amy case, pass without the
consent Of every property holder, is in our
opinion going too far. Every property
holder over which it might pass, or want
to pass, should be judiciously protected.

FEMALE ExEcurED.-Mrs. Van Val
