A write in the Stark County Democrat,
who goe. the whole Of Oregon pre poses
that 20 Great Western Convention be held
composed Of delegates from Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, and Michigan, and the
Territories Of Iowa and Wisconsin. and
adopt such measures as will preserve in
violate our territorial rights, by taking pos
session ofthe whole OF Oregon, peacefully
if we can, forcibly if we must" Such a
Convention would doubtless be productive
of good, and we second the motion. Let
the time and place be fixed, and we doubt
not an array of,alent would assemble, which
would give Congress an inklng Of the
spirit and feeling Of the mighty west, who
would dare the hazard Of war, rather than
again be despoiled Of territory rightfully
theirs, as was the case with the infamous
Ashburton treaty, which despoiled Wis
consin Of territory larger than some Of the
old thirteen States.-Detroa Free Press.

Yes, il is Funny.

The Hawk Eye Of last week thought it
was mighty funny to think we should say
Mr.. Bowie was elected in joke. Since
that time, we have been informed by rhiss,
that the Editor had scurrilous article on
Mr.. Bowie prepared, and would have IN
serted it in his paper, had he not been
bluffed off by certain wings of the city
It will lie remembered that on announcing
Mr.. BIS name, the Hawkeye did not say a
word. The whole matter was got up for
butt, and so conducted. Had there, been
any expectation Of electing wing, certain
other wing more fond of gain thar Bowie
would have been on the stump Now is
it not funny, Is think the Hawxeye should
propose to blov up Bowie, aid yet not dare
to! However, Bowie is decidedly man
Of more talents than an, other whig in Des
Moines, POSSESSED sore geuius, more ~
ergy.

Since this hue heart was vowed to thine,
There comes, for us, a light at last
Whose beam upon our path shall shine.

Late accounts from China are Of very
important nature. The city Of Canton has
been in a complete uproar by q mob, raised
to resist the entrance Of foreigners into that
city, which, had been permitted by chop,
or proclamation from the local authorities.
Such was the excitement, that the procla-
nation was recalled. Placards were
posted up on the gates, that all strangers
who should attempt to enter should be des-
troyed, and the factories burned. The
American and English SHIPS Of war were
drawn UP and anchored near Canton for
the protection il need be, Of American and
English residents. From the state Of facts
which now exist, it is not improbable that
another war may arise between England
and China. 96 IL aAas a7a5

British CandOr.

Mr.. Fairfield in the course Of his re-
marks, yieiivcrcd iHTSegare, January 27,
gave two striking illustrations of British
trickery (for the Continuance deserves no
nobler designa,ion.) 8
BY the convention concluded at London,
October 20, 1918, the fisheries on the coasts
Of Labrador and Newfoundland were in
tended TO be secured TO The United States.
BY the provisions Of that convention, the
citizens of the United States were prohib-
tied from taking fish onlylwi,hintl.ree miles
Of the coast; but by construction mani
testify unjust and untenable, the line of de-
marcation has been drawn from a point
three miles outside of one cape or head
land, 10 point three miles outside Of an
other cape or headlands thereby entirely
excluding our vessels from fishing in any
Of the prolific indentures or bays with
which the coast abounds, and rendering
the line Of prohibition, i, some places, fif-
teen miles instead Of three. The words
are plain and ineligible, and admit of no
doubt; and yet, under this disingenuous
construction, American vessels have been
seized when engaged in fishing fifteen
miles from the shore. and subsequently con-
demned in British provincial courts for an
alleged violation Of this convention.
Again: the late Ashbnrton and Webster
treaty was intended TO SECURE to Maine the
free navigation Of the river st. John. But
this provision has been rendered nugatory
BY disgracefnl subterfuge. 1t was sub
stantiaiiy stipulated by that treaty that all
the productions of that part of the State Of
Maine watered by the liver St. John, car
ried down that river should be treated as
If they were the productions of the British
provice, and that no higher duty should be
imposed upon the former than upon the lat.
ter. This was to prevent the provincial
Spectator from having any advantage over
the American. Eut how is this evaded.-
A heavy duty is imposed upon all timber
passing down the river, alike upon that cut
on the American and British sides of the
line. But in order to compensate the Brit
ish operator for this heavy duty, and to rem
der the privilege yalnsless to the Amer
icsn, the government charges the provin-
cial operator nothing for ssstum page.n or
in other words, the liberty Of cutting tin-

Later from Washinston-Final passage Of the
Notice,

By the steamer Laclede which arrived
at this place on Monday morning last, we
have received St. Louis papers Of May 2,
and news from Washington to April 23d.
Upon the notice bill as amended by the
House being sent back to ths Senate, a
committee Of conference was appointed by
both branches which resulted in an agree.
ment upon the form in whichthe bill should
pass, which was almost in the form in which
It first passed the Senate, With but slight
alteration in the preamble, consequently in
dicating wish that the President may re-
new the offer Of 49, and further compro-
mise if necessary. We make no further
commen. than to say, that such conduct, in
our judgement, is both disgraceful and cow
ardly. But tbsfe is one firm hope. Il Is
asserted tl4t Mr.. Polk will give the notice
in Sc hours after its FINAL passage. The
vote in the Senate ON the bill stood AZ to
10, in the House l42 to 46.
On the same day, April 23d. the House
was occupied in discussing the Smithsonian
Institute, with ! probability il IS said, that
The interest Of this bequest 50 long lying in
OUR Treasury, will be transformed into .

IF the Hawk Eye will find how much

If the Hawk Eye will find how much
specie there is in the country, and then
learn how much there is, on an average,
in the vaults Of the Government, undis-
bursed, he will not lind himself so wise as
he might be, in saying the Independent
Treasury will withdraw specie from cir
culation. A few years ago, nothing but
United Statas Bank could keep any specie
in the country! The Bank gone, the spe-
Gle remains; but because the Government
refuses TO take the rotten bank notes in
payment, the specie is all to dsappear!-
Now it will be found that the specie un-
disbursed. in the United States Treasury,
on an average and in the several custom
houses, bears such a very meagre propor-
tion to the balance of the specie in the
country, that payment in specie to the CO.
vernment will hardly ever, ifever, be felt,
or perceived by diminution of the amount
of the circulating medium.

The position OF the Wings.

Let no one imagine that the Wings will
support Constitution framed by Dem
ocrats. II framed BY democrats, it must
partake of their doctrines, and therefore
must meet the disapprobation Of the
wings. Consequently j, is useless to think
Of Their support as party. Their presses
and their leading men will oppose anything
that does not meet the extravagant views
entertained BY the officers Of that party
That we may depend on the support Of
many honest wings, is very probable; but
in giving it, they will have to disregard
the voice Of their self styled bette,s. We
therefore would apprise our democratic
friends, that If our Constitution is accepted,
and Iowa is to become State, it will have
to be done through the agency Of demo-
Gratis, aided by such wings as hold the
welfare Of the Territory paramount to that
Of party. Until Constitution shall be
framed, either recognizing the banking
system, the right to incorporate companies
with unlimite powers, and erclusive priv
ileges, or SO loosely framed, that these
things can be practised with immunity, the
wings, as body, will be found in one
position-that Of dishonest, hostile oppo.
sition.
This being what we are to depend upon,
in the coming contest, il is proper to in
qnire, in what shape will the wings dem
onstratc this opposition? Certainly in that
shape judged by them most sure to have its
desired effect. And in what shape will
that be? One Of two ways; either that Of
sly intrigue and cunning, pretending, du-
ring the canvass, to care nothing for the
result, but rallying desperately on the very
eve Of election; or By coming out openly,
and with desperation at first, and continue
ing so during the campaign. But which
course Of policy would be to them the most
sure Of success? That Of secrecy, unques-
tionably. That Of open resistance is al
ways dangerous in the extreme to them,
because wherever light is concentrated,
there darkness is dispersed. 1t will be
seen. then, that silence will be first at
tempted. But whether they are silent or
not, ICE must not be. The CLIQUE must be
thrown down, and whether taken or not,
if they object to the Constitution, they must
be forced into the contest. We do not
think that such will be the course Of ALI the
wings. "A large proportion OF them VIII
be disposed to vote for the Constitution
upon the principle of expediency; but the
leaders, the Pharisees Of the party, will
resist, and call on all to do likewise. Such
of the wings, therefore, as are governed
BY honesty Of purpose, should reflect upon
these views in advance, and SO be prepared,
in case the wing leaders adopt the course
above suggested, to abandon their leaders
and look after the good Of the State.
