votes Of the official returns, bit no official
returns were received from the counties
Of Baslrop. San Patriotic, jackson, Jeiier-

these counties had been furnished To the

We learn from the Lee Co. Democrat.
thst McCadly, convicted of the murder Of
Kaufman at the last term of the court in
Van Buren, county, is to lie hung on The
fourth of April. We shall be heartily
CAD when the practice Of hanging shall be
forbidden by our statute books. The pub
lie mind, all over the country, is becoming
averse to the practice, and there is no rea-
son why Iowa sirorld be the last among
The States TO repudiats this bartaridus rel
ic Of Heathenism. We hope this may be
the last tc disgrace the history Of Iowa.

The Committees on Territories, day or
two since, came to conclusion in regard

the early part Of next week, accompanied
by bill the provisions Of which will be
as fDlkcwss ST
/ The northern boundary Of the State Of
Iowa is on the line Of 43 deg. 3 min. north
latitude, running from the Mississippi 10
! the Sioux river; then down the Sioux riv-
! er to the Missouri; then down the Mis-
souri, river 10 the northern boundary line
Of the State Of Missouri; then following
said line TO the Mississippi riveg thence
up the Mississippi river to the place Of
beginning.
The State within the above limits will
contein $4,000 square miles, making it
rather larger than the former boundaries
and 10000 squire miles less than the citi-
i gems Of Iowa memorialized fr.
}, The disputed boundary line between
Your State and Iowa, is referred by the
bill itselfto the Supreme Court Of the
United States, for their adjudication in
pursuance of the consent given by the re-
: spective Legislatures Of Missouri and
Iowa. 81 peg SCR fee ~
Twas also informed by the Chairman o.

very object Of combining the State Of Iowa
within the limits above designated, was tc
enable future Congress to create new
Territory north Of Iowa the centre and
seat Of government of which will be al
the mouth of the St. Peters. So that an.
other free State, at no distant day. may b
: regarded as certain, from that section o
territory.
