ing the public generally. and those inter-
ested. that the Political Races of Henry

different purses, viz: The frs, is two mile
heats. for purse Of $3.50; the second,
one mile heats, purse 1925; the third, the
same as the second.
There are already a number of horses
in the. field Some are splendid animals !,
and others that will scarcely make show
The Secretary Of the Jockey Club will
endeavor 10 describe them as follows:
Those entered for the frs. purse, two
mile heats. are
Fiist-The Jackson Sorrel. This is a
noble animal; he has run one race over
this track with triumphant success, dis
tapcing his competitor; and he now enters
in better order than when he ran before.
For the same purse, the second horse
entered, is the Repudialor. This animal
will hardly make show on the track;
his keepers have just taken him off the
commons, and he is in no order for The
turf.
For the same purse, the third horse en-
tered is that noted animal Africanus, who
scarcely ever makes trot in consequence
OF looking towards Liberia.
The horses entered for the second and
third purses, one mile heats, are
First-The Black Prince. This noted
animal is again on the turf. he has run
divers races over this course with success
and now his keepers bring him forward
in fine trim and good spirits and i. is
thought he will lead every thing in the
field.
The secood horse is the Trenton Roam
This is a fine animal and will run close
to Prince, not leaving light between them
and will unquestionaby lift the purse.
The third horse entered is The Gulf
vator. This is no turf nag in consequence
Of having TO carry 100 heavy weights; his
keepers have done wrong in not reserving
him for Farming purposes to which he is
admirably adapted in strength and bot.

which, he has injured his joints and wing

Of success and Of course he will ro

In the last Gazette there is long, la.

on the Legislative power, the freer the
people will be; and he states the following
proposition as truth. "When the con.
ssiin'ion prohibits the exercise of certain
power oy any or all the departments of
the Government tina, power remains with
the people," Now, this proposition is
true as TO the Constitution of the II. s.
but false as TO state government.
lhe theory OF state government is ,ha,
the government is the people The Con.
s'ilulon for Iowa vests the legislative
power in Legislature and prohibits the
Legislature, to create any bank or incor.
pora,ions. Now, if the Constitution
should be adopted. would the power to
create bank remain with The people,
he power of revolution remains with
the people and can, be taken away: bu,
until the people, by peaceful revolution
overturn the government which this Con.
stllu'ion creates, the power to create a
bank is gone from The people, Doubtless
the miserable demagogues who formed
this Constitution would have taken away
from the people the power to revolution
ize their government. or 10 change their
Constitution. if they could have done so.
The whole Of the Gazette article is
based upon the great. but common error
with demagogues. Of supposing the Gov
eminent is one thing and the people ano.

should be ashamed of such doctrine which
is only sound in an aristocracy or mon.

from Galveston, which port she lief. on
The Sd, bu. brings nothing of Importance
from the army. The Tropic makes the
following quotations from Galveston pa
pers:-
The News of that place, says: "The
high pressure steamer Potomac, which
IeiI this port few days since for the Rio
Grande, was wrecked as we learn. in the
recent heavy gale about six miles bey ond
the pass of San Luis. Our information
is. that she sprung leak, which contin
ued to increase until the captain was
compelled 10 run her on shore. She had
1000 bus hels of coal on board and other
freight. Capt Lumsden and his company
were passengers. The boat, it is said.
will be total loss, and the freight. badly
damaged"
II also makes a quotation from the
"Republc of The Rio Grande," which we
had overlooked-it says: "Thatthe San
Augustine Company, while on their way
from Corpus Christi TO Malamoros. dis
covered the remains of the fifteen Texans
who were SO horribly bulchered few
weeks since on The llllle Colorado, and
buried them.
It is stated that the brig Somers attempt

No movement of the main body of Gen.

cient number Of light draugh, steamers for
the Rio Grande would be the signal for
such a step. Some eight or ten of this
class of vessels have passed Galveston

We mentioned week or two since
that few Of the more prominent leaders
in the loco foco party had gone through
the Territory on kind of pilgrimage
to hold forth to the people in favor Of the
Constitution, least they should not suffi

poor opinion Of the ability of the people
to choose for themselves, or they would
not thus attempt to force things in this
manner. We understand these worthless

and addressed an assembly Of about 60
persons, haf of whom were wings, who
had dropped in TO see the fun, the balance
not being AIRED with precisely the same
stick as they.and who were in the habit of
thinking for themselves, did not much
relish the harangues Of these redoub,able
heroes of the Constitution and were rather
disposed to think that pure patriotism had
but small, if any place in their bosoms.
The beauty Of The thing was, tina, these
men pretended to have all met there by
accident, and each in his turn. pretended
to be exceedingly glad that the other had
embarked in the same good cause, viz:
that of forcing the Constitution down the
,hroats of the people. 1t was well known
there. that the plan of pretending 10 meet
accidentally was concocted by them for ef
ect,before they left home. After these wor.
.hies had got through white washing one
another. they were replied to by Messrs
Teas and Howe, who in very able man.
ner showed up the character Of these men
and the object Of their mission, which
was TO glorify the Constitution, and if
possible get it adopted, and then receive
a ia, office under the State government
Hence their patriotism in leaving home
on this mission.

may look for great illumination from
these bright stars among the Office seeking
