OUR FLAG is THERE,

The democracy of Dung Iowa is up
and doing; the youngest daughter of our
glorious Confederacy has un(urled her
banner to the breeze, and the names of
'Cass and Butler,'-'Un,on for the sake
of Union,' is emblazoned upon its ample
folds. Our flag is soaring high, and
freemen are cluster ring around 1.-THE
enemy behold it, not as an emblem Of glad
tid'ngs and great joy, but as sign TO them
Of forlorn hope and certain defeat. We
shall not however indulge in specuzaiions:
as 10 the two Candidates now in the field,
but barely aIlude to fe,c items in con,
Eeclion with them.
1t is certain then, that Iowa will 90 for
Cass and Butler, by a large majority
probably over 1000. We base this state
ment not upon vague conjecture, but upon
positive results which every many in the
State, who has paid the slig htest attention
to the political movements Of the day, will
acknowledge to be correct. At the last,
session Of our Legislature, which took
place last winter, 1t will be remembc red,
that, on joint ballot Of the two houses,
there was tie between the democrats
and wings, and one possum Clifton J
Since then, there has been another cleo

which will be unknown in tho Presiden-

(unless they have made few converts,
which is not very likeIy,) and do their
utmost, we shall distance them far beyond
what we did before. Our friends in the
South, and everywhere else then, may
safely calculate upon old Dubuque coming
up 10 the right notch; the right spiri: is

A SIGNIFICANT SUPPRESSION.
The New York Express Of Saturday

A SIGNIFICANT SUPPRESSION.
The New York Express of Saturday
has the following:
"When we first heard Of the intended
so called Clay movement in this city, VIC
addressed private letter to Mr.. Clay,
not expecting in return any answer which
we could print-but we have received an
answer, in which we are authorized to san
as follows:
"AsnLAND, Sept. 8, 1s4s.
JAMES Brooks, Esq.:-I have given, and
shall give, no countenance or enco uragement
to any movement TO bring my name, as u can
dIdate for that ofica, (the Presidency before
the public.
'On ono point desire no secrcsy, and that
is, that am utterly opposed to the use of m y
namc AZ candidate for the Presidency.
My warm regards to your brother.
i am truly your friend and obcdicnt scrv't.
H. CLAY"
But why this concealment? Mr.. Clay
obviously said something more-proba-
bly, in relation to Gen. Taylor and the
''conduc'ons' at Philadelphia. Was not
Mr.. Brooks also authorized to say more
than he has vouchsafed 20 revealed? Has
he given all that he was empowered to
give? We are among the incredulou,.
We suspect that Mr.. Clay did express
himself freely on the subject Of the duty
Of the Wing party, under its virtual dis
solution at Philadelphia, which the Ex-
press, as a Taylor partizan, prefers to
vithhold!' The inference is irresistible
and the Express only makes the matter
worse by supprcssing it.--[Argus.

The SELKlRK SETTLEMENT-Sir George
Simpson, says the Wisconsin of the 10th
inst. has recently returned to Montreal
from this extreme British Settlement, on
the Red Rirer Of the North, as it is call
ed. The Montreal Gazette says:
ale reports favorable of the condition
and prospects Of tho settlers in those
northern regions. The agricultural pop
ulation Of tho Red River settlement a.
mounts at present we learn, to more than
5000 inhabitants, Of whom 1000 are
householders, owning 100 acres Of land
each. Ten thousand acres are under
cultivation, yielding the richest crops
from smaller amount Of lobor, than the
same portions of the earth demands in
any other part Of the world.
We cannot doubt its becoming. at some
future day, the focus Of large and i'm
portant population. Endless commons,
in nature of prairie land, invite the plow,
which, for hundreds Of miles NAV trace
its lurrow without encountering an obsta-
Gle. Countless herds Of Buffalo, and game
Of all kinds abound; and in addition to all
these resources, fish might be taken from
the lakes and rivers, for six months, en-
tire subsistence OF the settlement annual
| ly. The temperature and climate are
the same as in these parts. People, we
are informed, rarely die in those quar-
tiers; and disease is at such discount
that single medical practitioner, to a
population Of 5000, has hard battle to
make, a living out Of his medical calling.
In no part of the world is labor;ng popu-
ation, Of the Same description, in great
err degree of comfort"
The British have a garrison Of 400
troops there. The present settlers are
descendants Of certain Scotch colonies
who where there transported by King
George Ill, nearly one hundred years
ago. They arc now forming business re-
lations with the Americans at St. Pete rs

& AAoni 0IiHWotcT the traveller can 90
to the Falls of st. Croix either by water
or land should advise the former mode
of travelling, for the road for portion
of the distance is not the best in the
world. The scenery on the river is in
many places very picturesque.
Within three miles Of the landing be-
low the Falls is spot which for grand
eur exceeds any thing | have seen on the
Hudson. The river, separated by an
island forms two semicircIes whose arcs
are precipitous cliffs Of rock over-hang-
ing the rapid current and at least one
hundred and fifty feet in perpendicular
height. 1t is impossible for me to depict
the scenery, savage and grand, the stream
below darkened by the oyerhaning cliffs,
whose SUBMITS are shrouded with forests
OF gloomy cedar; this must be left for the
pencil of the artist.
The scenery for the remaining three
miles is sufficiently rude, wild, and pic
turesque. At the landing the river takes
a sudden turn and you enter completely
rock bound pond surrounded bylofty rock,
with the exception of narrow passage
way between them through which pas
sengers must ascend at an angle Of nearly
forty-fve degrees.
r mile from the landing, pursuing
your way among rocks and stones, you
come to the unfortunate and unfinished
town Of the Boston company, about which
the least that is said the better. Be it
remembered, it is on the Wisconsin side
of the river. and does not come within
the limits Of Minnesota. This is the site
ofthe mills which never have paid, though
they are capable of saving $4,000 feet
of lumber per diem. There, also has
been located the Land Office for this dis
trlct, by fraudulent representations made
to the Government, by which they were
led to believe, the Falls Of St. Croix was
the most central position in the land Dis
trict; and that a town where there was
''nclther mans meat, nor horse meat, nor
a chair to sit down on" was flourish
ing inland city.
The Falls or rather rapids Of St. Croix
lie in latitude As deg. 80 min. or half a
degree north Of the Falls Of St. Anthony,
and are the most northerly navigablc
waters Of any of the tributaries Of the
Mississippi.
Returning, if you have the courage to
accompany US over very bad road, dam
gerous on account Of the hume rous crags
and slumps of bushes and trees which
have lately been created by cutting open
new track. will show you some rather
gloomy and very lonesome country dem
sely timbered with pine and cedar and
birch, and broken with every kind Of
rock, mountain and precipice. Such is
the face of the country for about ten
miles, when it improves till you reach
the neighborhood of the Marine mills, the
property of Company eminating from
St. Louis, and which has always been a
pruden,Iy conducted money making con-
Germ. Here, if you have left the Falls
of St. Croix hungry, they will give you
enough to eat, and rs comfortable nights
