PROSPECTUS
OF THE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER.

THE subscribers, having purchased the above NAM
ed establishment and put it in entire dress,
will in future conduct it jointly Editors and Pro-
prietsrs, under the firm Of PALMER & PAUL.
The REPORTER will, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION Of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though egitimat4ly resulting from changing,
immutable principles-we believe should still be- as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac-
ter; having for their ultimate object the equalization
both Of the benefits and burthens Of government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened, Just
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-oney and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great Dem
ocratic party. AS long party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures sim
liar in their character and tendency, long do we
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore
we consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
dividual members of our party-brought ont in con-
ormty to its established customs, for stations of
honor or prot-only so long they truly reftc its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to party, especially at the
present Crisis of straight forward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government must we
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci-
ated to require any thing more than bare alluson
10 it on this occasion. We are now on he eve of
State and Presidential election, in both of which
the Democracy of Iowa will, besides deciding uEon
various other subjects of vast importance to as
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has so vigor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into execu-
ton, for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comfored by ingori-
Gus, iy-dlSgIsed and traitrous partizans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
OF Iowa will evnce their appreciation Of the consd
eraions here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above will be the leading objects for
which we shall labor, the REPORTER will devote it
SELF with what of energy its conductors bring
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
provement in our young and fourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, Shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens large
News and Literature-Domestic and Foreign
Miscellany-the instructive and the amusing-will
receive their due share of space and attention keep
ing in view the fact that while ssvariety is the spice
of fe it serves, in eminent degree, to give life
and zest to popular journal.

HE success of the Illustrated Botany is NJ
longer an experiment. For although it has been in
aEce but one year, il already has circulation
OF about five thousand, a sufficient number TO
warrant its support, which cannot be said of anv
other work OF the kind. Indeed. it IS the only
work OF this character published in this coun-
try. which promises stability and long life. We
think the prospect Of the second year of this
Botany are very fatierihg. O:.e reason for tn
opinion is, the fact that it is now very popular
having large circle of friends. Another very
important reasonis, the securing of an Editor for
the coming year, whose popularity as an auth or
in the various branches Of Natural Science, is so
extensive as to leave his name familiar TO evry stu
dent in the science in this country. We are full
y satisfied that the Botany will, under the pres
ent Editors, bear the severest criticisms, and We
intend it shall become the standard work.
In the course OF its duplication, it will contain
an Introduction TO the Natural system of Botany,
athorough Treatise on the interesting and impor-
tant branch Of Vegetable Physiology. Notices on
Focil Botany land descriptions, both acientifc and
popular, OF numerous species Of plants, the pre-
perties OF which. medicinal and useful, will be
luly explained. In short it is intended TO present
a complete view of the latest and most important
facts discoveries, in every department OF the
science.
The whole illustrated by splendid color ed en-
cravings, taken from Nature, full size, and fin
lshed in the highest style OF modern art
This work is designed TO be elninently popular
nlts applications, and there is enough OF that
which is stranger than 6ction, about ii TO render
it no ordinary degree, interesting and ins,ruc-
tive.
We do not intend to confne ourselves 70 the
botanic discl Upton of each plant, but make i, a
thoroughly scientific work, in all the department
OF Botany. 1t D.: i'll also give all the information
on the cultivation Of plants and flowers la
word, it will comprise the whole science.

From VENEzuELA.-The N. Y. Jour-
nal Of Commerce has letters from Cabello
and Laguayra, the latter of June 7th, the
former of June 10th. Both give informa-
ton that the city of Marcaibo, the head
quarters of opposition to the President,
Monagas, had fallen into his hands, the
partizans Of Paez making no resistance,
but retiring to the castle which they had
continued to hold, as also the fotilla. The
troops on board the latter, however, are
said to be in state Of mutiny, and il
seems to be conceded that the chances Of
Paez and his party are well nigh despe-
rate.

in single hour sweeps away the earnings Of
many years.
There are two situations, in either Of which
the value of Fire Insurance can be adequately
appreciated, viz: While standing upon the ruins
of persons own property, receiving from the
Insurance office the full amount which he has
lost; or standing upon the same spot surrounded,
perhaps, BY destitute family, lamenting that
stupidity and folly which failed to provide
