A. II PALMER, Esqr.
Sr-Please announce, through the col
uinns Of the Reporter the name Of
CHARLES MASON, ofDesmoines coun-
~, 10 candidate for the office of Super.
intendent, Of Public Instruction; created
bya law which passed the Legislature
yesterday, just upon the eve Of its adj
iournment.
The election to fill this Office is TO tai /.
place on Monday. the 81 day Of April
next, oarsly six weeks hence-thus rem
dering prompt action necessary, in bring.
ing out candidate.
Such promptitude Is the more necessa-
rY too, inasmuch as it is understood that ].
candidate belonging to the ranks Of our POI
litical opponents is already prepared to
take the field. -
There is not time to hold democratic
State Convention; and no other method
than this 4,ow suggest itself to meet those
opponents in The contest with prospect
Of success.
Drudge Mason's peculiar fitness for the
station. it is wholly unnecessary to speak.
Gifted with talents Of a high order and a
liberal education, he adds to these the
quality highly important one, for such
a stasion-of a popular public lecturer;
and is known as such throughout the
whole State.
Under the circumstances above mem
toned, i! is thought by many Of our politi-
cal friends assembled here, from different
parts Of the State, that the course herein
indicated, is the one most ad,isabls-in-
deed the only one practicable Ito bring
out q candidate; and it is accordingly re-
commended by

Appointments by the Fresides,

Letters have been received at this city,
from Washington, stating that J. S. DYEa Of
Jackson'coanty, has been appointed U. S.
District Judge, and FnrDEn1ek D MlLLs,
Of Burlington, U. S. District Attorney,
for this State. The same letters also state
that said appointments had been, or were
about to be, confirmed by the Senate.
This news has notye; been confirmed by
the papers; but We have little doubt of its
correctness. These are both excellent an
pointnents, md will doubtless receive the
approval ofthe Iowa demovr~ey.

The Laws.

A contract has just been entered into
between the Hon, EL1snA CurGEa. Sec
Rotary IF State, ana tho Editor q this
paper, for printing stitching and binding
5000 copies 81 The laws Of the first Gem
eral Assembly Of Iowa, to be delivered BY
the 18th Of May next. This is the very
earliest day at which, under existing cir
cumstances, we could safely contract for
their completion.
But for the stnbbornnsss and perversity
Of the wing House Of Representatives, in
refusing to concur with the Senate in en-
pioying us TO print the laws, the work
might now have been very far advanced.
As it was, however, we could make no
calculation of The stock we should want.
ana are saaasntly now compelled to
/ delay their commencement until the paper
can be procured from St. Louis, or per-
haps from Cincinnati. Much inconve-
nience and some loss will also result irom
the discharge, in the interval, Of the force
which we have kept up at heavy
onPvnse during the session.
From these and other circumstances, all
mus. see the importance OF settling this
matter Of the printing on proper and
permanent has il, so as to secure the prompt
and faithful execution Of the work by a
pers on who will be held to strict re-
sponsibility, and who will be enabled to
perform j. in such manner as to promote
the public interest. In the present case,
what would have been the consequences
had the Secretary considered that he had
no authority for the publication of the
laws? Our constitution very properly
provides that no law shall take effect be-
fore its publication and consequently,
many Of the most important acts Of the
session, including the school law and rev.
enue law, would have fallen slill born and
been perfect utilities.

IL The Iowa State Gazette says that
the omission to publish The proceedings Of
the Eighth OF January democratic meeting
held at this city, was wholly owing to an
oversight that the resolution requesting
all the democratic papars of this State to
publish them, escaped The notice Of the
editor-and that he does not consider it
good policy to publish them at so late a
day. This explanation he thinks will be
satisfactory TO US, and declares that he
will not be found behind any Of his broth
ern of the press i'll his endeayors to adj
vance the cause of democracy, nor in cul-
sivating the kindly feelings which should
prevail among them. ....r

isiactory TO the public, pr not, the good
part in which the Gazette receives wha,

OF The highest commentator. From the
tone and spirit in which we arc met BY
our contemporary, we are led to anticipate
the existence OF mutual harmony and good
will between us for the future, with moth
ing to divert our attention from the one
great object to which all our efforts should
be directed. We have great work be-
fore us, and i: is all important that tie
democratic press should rise superior to III
personal and local considerations, and no,
suffer its energies to be in any degree par.
allied by the influence of those preiu.
diees, jealousies ard heart burnings. which
will sometimes unavoidably creep in a

We lay before cur readers, wahou:
comment, thecorrespondence which pass
ed between several of the democratic
members Of the Legislature and the can
didates for the United States Senate and
the Supreme Bench, with reference to the
rumored coalition for the election of part
wings and part democrats. 1t will doubt
less be perused with much interest, as it
serves to throw some light upon the state
of political affairs which have existed at
the capital, and will enable the public to
Judge correctly concerning the course and
motives Of the different parties.
Il should here be remarked, however,
that numerous advances and propositions
were made by leading federalists to dem
ocratic members, for the formation Of such
a coalition, both while in joint convention,
on the 29ih January, and since that time.
These propositions, although condemned
BY a portion of the wing party, have been
standing propositions, Of which the demo-
Gratis have had the refusal during almost the
entire session. The tempting bait, the
price Of their principles, was constantly
held out to them; but they have indig-
nantly spurned at it, repulsed the sedu-
GERS, and firmly maintained the integrity
of their party:
