What care they the democrats tor the
rising generation, except TO keep them in
ignorance.-Hawkeye.
This is aquestion asked by a base born
lick-spit,le and toad-eater of political char
latans, the vile tool made use of by dem
agogues for dabbling in political filth
whose stencil is too strong, even, for their
nostrils-a question prompted by the
ranking malevolence and envy Of mon
ster TO whom the Almighty, in his infinite
wisdom, has denied the power of propa.
eating his species.

Proposition for Peace.

Il is rather too early in the day for US
to enter Tito any speculation on the Pres
ident's message, or the treaty accompany
ing il. They were laid before the Sen.
ate on Wednesday, with certain docu.
ments. The version ofthe treaty which
we have seen published in the Picayune,
may not be strictly correct; but ifthe boun.
Diary lines specified in that paper have
been accurately drawn, they substantial
ly correspond with the instructions. which
were originally given to our commission
er in April last. When the veil is with
drawn, however, all the facts will be de-.
veloped. The true character of the pa
per, and all its s,ipulations, will be accu-
rately defined. In the mean time, we
would respectfully suggest to our cotem.
poraries the propriety Of calmly waiting,
before they express any conclusive opin-
ions upon it. For example, the ''Balti.
more Clipper" Of Wednesday suspects
that, notwithstanding the semi official
statement that (Mr. Tris.'s) powers had
been withdrawn. il will be found that he
had ample authority to conclude the peace
which he has forwarded to government.
He would hardly have undertaken to nego-
tiate, after having been Invested Of all pow
er. We therefore presume that some con-
dtion was attached to the withdrawal of
his authority lift was ever designed to
withdraw it-by which he has been ena-
bled to form the present treaty." -
If the "Clipper" had only consulted the
late messages of the President, it would
have seen at once the incorrectness Of this
Mr.. Trist was recalled; and
no additional conditions and no secret in
were sent to him. There is
much more justice and force in the sub
ssquen. remark of the Clipper" that
this is matter of no great comparative
as the ratification otthe treaty BY
our government will cure all defects in the
nego'ia'or's authority, if any exist. AS
The President has resolved to submit the
treaty to the Senate, we hope,f for the sake
Of humanity and the best interests OF both
nations. that it will be ra,iiied.'[ Weekly

4 Qgcstipn ~ VeEPqiay Settled.
Mr. Benion, in his speech At this City,
itassd.Sat M. Moblsy. The xhie School
Fund Commissioner elect Of Dubuque
co county, had repeatedly, in urging the i'm
!, ,portancs of an act toslssalizs the election
: .chooll officers, admitted The invalidiiy
% Il that election. He said he had held frs-
!, onent conversations with Mr.. Mobley on
that subject, and the conclusion to which
II. latter uniformity came. was, that said
election was invalid and void.
q I. Nj. Harlan, in reply, said with tone
and air intended to be ironical. that he
would not think Of "impeaching theyera.
city Of his worthy opponent. !" but he felt
authorized to say that Mr.. Mobley enter
tanned no such view as that attributed to
him BY Nj. Bentons He then favored the
audience with = history ofwhat should have
passed between himself and Mr.. Mobley
on hi, subject, and concluded BY saying,
s,in effect, that Mr.. Benton had asserted a
p.lpable fslsehood.
This was positive assertion by the
nerson exercising the functions Of the
! chief officer Of the school system. speak
:. ing er cathedra on behalf Of one Of his sub
ordinate officers, and az such, wore an ir-
risistable by authority air which stagger-
ed the audienne. Mr.. Benton stood eff
chilly charged with falsehood.
Now, let 10 see what Mr.. Mobley says
for himself upon'this mooted point. In
the Dubuque Tribune Of March 18th, we
find an address over his signature to the
people Of Dubuque county, announcing
himself again as candidate for School
Fund Commissioner. In that address, " {
find not one word claiming the legality o.
his former election, or asserting his right
to the Office under it, or calling upon the
people to ''rosify' tina, election; but he
announces himself as candidate just as
though no election had ever been held
His address commences thus: sag
"The election for School Officers last
spring, not being confirmed by the Legis-
lature. il seems to be necessary that an cleo.
tion for these officers should be held at the
Township election in .April nert. am be-
fore you again for the same Office, and it
elected will do my best to discharge the
duties the Office faithfully
Now, let the people decide between Mr..
Benton and Mr.. Harlan or the charge Of
falsehood, preferred by the latter against
the former, for misrepresenting Mr.. Mob
Iey's views. 1t will be well Tor those
who listen 10 their speeches to bear this
circumstance in mind; for Mr.. Benton can
scarcely make material statement BY
way Of exposing the futility Of his oppo.
nen.s strained efforts Ut lnystifying the sub
ject Of the school laws, without being 1ally
contradicted and virtually charged with
falsehood by the Hawkeye's !" modest,
quiet, unassuming" no-party candidate.

PAY the Printer! Pay the printer!

THOsE knowing themselves indebted to the To-

sements, are respectfully reminded that the small
amounts sevearlly due from them are highly ncCes-
sary in order to enable the undersigned to embark
in some new business for livelihood. They are
therefore earnestly requested to be prepared 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 so widely
long time for Mr.. Galloway to make the tour to all
Of them, but he will call on each in turn as soon
possible during the ensuing season. In the mean
time, payment may be made, by remissions by mail
or otherwise, TO me 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 ttA 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 pay
ments, on persons in different and remote parts OF
the State. As misunderstanding may arise in some
cases, which would be readily reeoncied could at
tend to the matter in person, agent has instruc-
tons to deal the most liberal and amcabe terms
with all who are sincerely DESTROYS of settling
up. fr ssa
Being determined that no just cause of COM
plant shall exist on my part, and hoping to meet
with reciprocal feeling and disposition in those
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
