OF VALOR.


The Capital Reporter say. that some
zacharite in their city, moro courageous
than the rest, has actually bet pair o.
Boots on the Election, and intimates thai
no further speculations in that way car
be had in the Capital town.
We have entertained favorable opin
ion Of the Whigsof Iowa City, for long
time, and believed them to be possessed Of
as much wisdom and foresight as was
possible TO have, considering the amour,
Of wool that is pulled over their eyes, by
the leaders at the South. H.. a .1L.-
This opinion was greatly strengthened
by their setting in operation the "Repnb.
lican" and now again, by refusing 10
back their friend lack with any thing but
a pair Of boots! Verify! they are wise
Whigs!-far more discreto than those OF
this city.-Discretion is no part ola Wing
here,--it does not enter into, or make one
of their numerous uirtues' only last week
one hundred dollars was put up, with the
intention, no doubt of 6iu6ing off one Of
the unterifed Democracy, who had offer
ed'the beD upon bet that Gen. Cass
would getmore Electoral votes than Tay-
lor, ct the approaching canvass. The
more discrete wings Of Iowa City, would
have kept their money in their pocket
But what the wings Of Dubuque, lack in
discretion, they make up in credulity.-
Now, it is presumed, that the above bet
was made upon the strength of a false
Geographic report, received that day, that
Georgia had become strongly Tayzoris-
ed!! and that the whole South were con-
sequen,ly awakened to the Importance Of
putting General Zachery into the White
House immediately!!! No one knows
who 20 blame for sending such despatch
up here, and thus fooIing our whig friends
out of their coin: but considering the
proneness Of the Missouri Republican to
deal in fiction, and to shout rictory- when
defeat has overtaken them: we have no
doubt, but the fault lays in the Office of
that paper. Tho mistake was however
corrected the next day, but too late for
the Wing Sorercigns!
We presume no more betting will be
done, even by the courageous Zacharites
Of Dubuque, but not surely for want of
opportunity; we are authorized by one Of
our Democratic friends to offer a house
and lot, situated in this city and valued at
$1,000 if any Wing has the courage to
put up an equal amount upon the general
result,-Cass against Taylor.--A fine op-
portunity for any Wing to make per-
manent Observation-Disclosures learned

Fairfield, Oct. Cd, 1848.

" The weather. was very fine last
week. Vegetation however, has put on
its fall dress, forcibly reminding US Of
the near approach Of winter.
We understand, that the yield of corn
has been quite large this season, and are
glad to learn that the potatoe rot has not
been 80 fatal as was anticipated. Other
States may boast Of their excellent fruit,
but Iowa goes ahead for vegetables. BY
the way, the grape is becoming extern
sively cultivated in the neighborhood Of
Dubuque. We, saw large quantity of:
ferred for sale few days since, which,
for size and flavor couldn't be beat. They
were grown short distance from town.
Our farmers would oblige US by sending
any information calculated to advance
the interests Of the farming community.

The Mormon Prcss.--Their vote.

The Mormon PrcSS.--Thcir Vote.
The Republican, Of ST. Louis, announ-
ces the shipping Of "Printing Press
and printing material, from that city, for
Council Bluffs, or Kanesville, Iowa. This
is the celebrated press obtained as the
price Of corruption, for giving the Nor
mon vote to the Wing party, in August
last.
A paper is to be established at one Of
the above places, by the notorious Orson
Hyde, TO be called the "Frontier Guardi-
an.'a 32F4 aa5&.4I't' o. 3.."S ~ F..
The slater day sainls' are now re-
cognized as the legitimate allies Of Wing

the powerful assistance Of printing
press, may be expected to promulgate the
elegant compound formed by union of
thesprinciples Of Zachary Taylor and 10.
Smith. Pickett and Hyde, the two most
corrupt scoundrels left unhung, are to be
the High Priests in this Mormo- Wing
Temple, and the laity Of both the Wing
and Mormon Church, will drink in, with
pious submission, the filthy streams that
flow from this corrupt fountain.
The Mormon vote, which was TO have
been cast for Taylor, in November, will
failthem,on account Of its entire illegally.
The commission issued TO the notori-
GUS Picket:, US organizing Sheriff, was a
conditional one.-He was constituted shcr-
if, upon the condition that he ''deposited
his bond, duly accepted, ,oiM the Clerk Of
Polk county, This he failed to do
Furthermore, his commission required
that an election should be held for coun-
ty officers on the 2lst Of Sept, and that
he should lay off three precincts, and
give in each Of these, at least ten days.
notice. of such election This he failed to
do,-not having left Dallas county as late
as the 9th Of Septembe', and having a
four or five days journey to make before
he could reach the field Of his labors.-
We furthermore learn, that there are not
over hundred and fifty voters who can
put in the leas, possible cluim to a legal
vote, the balance being imported from
the Missouri side Of the river, al the
August election, and not suffering their
vote tc be challenged. We are glad to
see that the st. Louis New Era, violent
wing paper, has decency sufficient left to
take the side Of right and justice with re-
gard 10 these Mormon outrages. We shall

this subject. .r.. ..-.4 .,.s y
