TTNHOSE knowing themselves indebted to the To-
wG Capital Reporter, for subscription or adver-
tlsenents, respectfully reminded that the small
amounts sevearlly due from them are highly neces-
sary in order to enable the undersigned to embark
in some new business for livelihood. They are
therefore earnestly requested to be prepared Tor the
coming OF Mr.. GEO. w. GALLOWAY, our travelling
agent, and to settle with him in the true spirit OF
equity and amity.
The subscribers to the Reporter are 80 widely
scattered throughout this State, that it will take
long time for Mr. Galloway to make the tour to all
of them, but he will call each in turn soon as
possible during the ensuing season. In the mean
time, payment may be made, by remissions by mail
otherwise, to in person at this this city, or in
case Of my absence, to either Of successors, GAR
RET D. PALMER or GEo. PAUL, who are also auth
orized to receipt for dues in my name.
Those who are not prepared at the time to pay
the full amounts Of their dues, will be expected to
settle by note; though the advance price, $500 a
year in hand, will be much more acceptable than
notes of hand at the highest rate for deferred
ments, on persons in different and remote parts OF
the State. As misunderstanding may arise in some
cases, which would be readily reconciled could at
tend to the matter in person, my agent has instruc-
tons to deal the most liberal and amcabe terms
with all who are sincerely DESTROYS Of settling
up.
Being determined that no just cause of CON-
plant shall exist on my part, and hoping to meet
with reciprocal feeling and disposition in those
indebted to me, the same liberal principle by which
my dealings with subscribers has thus far been reg
uated, will be observed in the final settlement of
accounts. They need hardly be reminded of the
importance of the small items due from each, which
though separately Insignificant, go to make up We
~ considerable sum in the aggregate constituting
large portion of the retired editors subst,nce-
his ssbread cast upon the ratcrs,o which are as
sured by holy writ, shall return to ssafter many
days" Though the sten fold'' increase is altogeth
er apochryphal in the present instance, it must be
conceded that the "many days'' have elapsed; and
fuflment of the promise on theirs, alone remains.

The President Of the United States of America.

THE success of the Illustrated Botany is n.
longer an experiment. For although it has been il
exlstaLce but one year, already has circulation
| Of about FIVE thousand, sufficient number 10
| warrant its support, which cannot be said of any
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 ths prospect Of the second year of this
Botany are very flattering. Oae reason for the
opinioni is, the fact that it is now very popular
having large circle Of friends. Another very
important reason is, 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.
ly satisfied that the Botany will, under the pres.
emf Editors, bear the severest criticisms and we
intend it shall become the standard work.
In the course Of its publication, it will contain
an Introduction to the Natural system OF Botany,
thorough Treatise on the interesting and impor.
tant branch of Vegetable Physiology, Notices on
Focil Botany land descriptions, both acienifc and
popular, OF numerous species of plants, the pro-
peItles OF which, medicinal and useful, will be
fully explained. In short it is intended 10 present
complete view Of the latest and most in pcrtant
facts discoveries, in every department of the
science.
The whole illustrated by splendid colored en-.
cravings, taken from Nature, full size, and fin
shed in the highest style OF modern art.
This work is designed TO be elninently popular
in its applications, and there is enough OF that
which is stranger than fiction, about ii to render
it no ordinary degree, interesting and instruc.
tive.
We do not intend to confne ourselves 10 the
botanic description of each plant, but max. it a
thoroughly scientific work, in all the department
OF Botany. 1t i'll also give all the information
on the cultivation of plants and flowers. In 4
word, it will comprise the whole science.
TERMS
EFThis work will be published monthly, with
SIX or TEN FLOWERS, handsomely painted,
IN each number. Price, $500 year, or two
copies sent to one address for $500.

We are pleased to see how enthusiastic.
ally the nominations of the Baltimore Con.
vention are received. Every where the
Democracy appear to be preparing for the
contest which is now upon US. They are
organizing Democratic Associations, and
unfurling their banners to the breeze
bearing the names Of CAss and BUTLER.
Under this banner they are determined to
fight, and fight as becomes Democrats
They are determined to bear it through
this campaingn in a manner worthy the
Democratic party, and worthy the illustri-
Gus men whose names are inscribed on its
folds. They are determined that their
Standard shall never be lowered before
the enemy-but when the cloud of politi-
cal warfare shall be rolled away, it will be
seen to wave in proud and glorious tri-
umph from the White House in Washing
ton.
We call upon the Democracy of Iowa
to organize. Grid on the armor and meet
the foe. Remember, that in doing battle
for our candidates, we are battling for the
principles Of Washington and Jefferson;-
those principles, under the administration
Of which our government has advanced
from infancy and weakness to its present
strength and prosperity. Again, then,
we say, organize! ORGANIZED! be active
Let no Democrat forget his duty. Let
him who lags behind be politically marked
and doomed as drone in the Democratic
hive-unworthy the confidence of the
party and an association with it.

PROSPECTUS
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 promulgaton of sound Democratic doc
trines and the advocacy of corresponding measures
Of State and National policy. These measures
though legitimatSy resulting from changing,
immutabe prnCiples-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-money 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
expect to stand by it, and longer. Furthermore,
consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
dividual members Of our party-brought out in con-
formity to its established customs, for stations Of
honor or proft-only long they trulj re ct its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital importance to our 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
persuaded, be too well understood and appreci.
ated, to require any thing more than bare alusion
10 it on this occasion. We are now on The eve of
State and Presidential election in both of which
the democracy OF iowa Will, besides OeClOlng uEOn
various other subjects Of vast importance to us 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 cxecu
ton, for sustaining the honor Of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comfortcd by nglor.
Gus, illydlsgnised and traitrous partzans at home
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will evncc their appreciation of the consd
eraons here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above will be the leading objects for
which we shalabor, the REPORTER will devote it
SELF with what Of energy its conductors bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures Of i'm
provcment in our young and ourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity Of her citizens at large
News and Literature-Dome 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 avariety is the spice
life" it serves, in an eminent degree, to give life
and zest to popular journal.

travels In spain and Portugal.

The first town in Spain, which you will
meet with in coming from Bayonne, is the
city Of Fuentarabia, or Fontarabia. 1t is
situated in Peninsula, upon the River
Bidassa. 1t was built by Saintila, king Of
the Cloths, in the year 626, who called il
Ondarribaga, which in the Basquish Ian
guage, signifies the Strand upon the Riusr.
It was made city by Philip 10th, for its
brave defence against the French.
The young country girls in these parts
60 in their hair, which is plated and twis-
ted with ribbands, over which they have
kind of little muslin veil, which plays
about their necks. They wear gold pen
dants set with pearls, and necklaces Of
coral. And as to their clothes, they are
not unlike what the Gipsies wear in those
parts. It is said that they live in Com
munity, under the direction of certain old
Matrons; nor do they suffer married wo-
men, widows, or men, to be among them;
but if any Of them have mind to change
their condition, their custom is to 90 to
Mass at Fontarabia, where the young men
never fail to attend, in hopes Of meeting
with an agreeable partner for life. These
lasses have the privilege Of conveying all
passengers across the river above men
toned, in small boats adorned with gilded
streamers. They are strong, active, hand
some, and well shaped; have very good
teeth and black hair, and are extremely
good swimmers. They have the gayest
air imaginable, and have their little habi-
tations along the river side. They come
from all parts into this Community, and
are admitted into it when they are very
young.-Boston Traveller.
