Piled that there are two ways of augment
ing the resources of a nation. The one
has regard to the present, the other to the
future. The one consists in blindly clutch.

ting Its three hundred millions annually
to rail roads, and other great schemes Of
internal improvement.
But after all, the great rallying field o.
the debate has been foreign soil. Italy is
struggling for her independence. The
opposition have heaped upon the ministry
the most unsparing denunciations for hay-
Ing withheld from the patriots of the Pc

friendly encouragement. It was for free
proud France to side with England and
espouse the cause Of humanity, civilization,
progress and liberty. Instead Of this the
Cablnet had abandoned the States to their
own weakness. Anxious to secure the
friendship and support Of Austria in the
event Of disputed Spanish succession,
dulzot had formed an ill-dissembled ALI
ance with Prince Metternich, and by a re-
trogade and pusillanimous policy had made
Inc country false to herself and her true

declaration that the present Status quo Of

Hon Wn ahuulpson.

From our Washington correspondent
we learn that this gentlemen has been ac-
tive and uniform in his cooperation with
Mr.. LErrLrR, in his endeavors to obtain
the grant Of land asked by our Gen. As
sembly to aid in the construction of the
Dubuque and Keokuk Railroad. This
was no more than we had anticipated, from
our knowledge Of Mr.. Thompson's en-
larged and liberal views of State policy !;
for, setting aside the fact that large por-
ton Of Mr.. rs constituents in the lower
portion ofthe district are Immediately in
terested in the proposed work, both he
and Mr.. Letter regard it as great State
work. and one in which every citizen of
Iowa is directly or indirectly interested.
In fact, the whole vast region of country
on the Upper Mississippi from the Lakes
to the Missouri, is deeply interested in
any work which has for its object the OBJ
Walton of the hindrance which the Rapids
oppose to its navigation.

IowA CITY:
Hon. Slaep. Lemcr.


We call attention to the communication
in another column from Mr.. A. H. PALM
Err, former editor Of this paper, touching
Mr.. LErrLER's course relative to the pro-
posed Dubuque and Keokuk Railroad
We hope, nay we have an abiding conf
dence, that the stern Democracy Of the
"Glorious Second" whose representatives
have fairly and by a large majority made
Mr.. L. their standard bearer, will not per-
init his interests (Which, after all, are but
their own interests to suffer intheir hands,
while he is faithfully attending to the in
terests Of his constituents in the hall of
Congress. No act which the democracy
Of the second district have ever perform
ed, would warrant us in the conclusion
that any respectable portion of them would
be thus recreant to what is to them both
duty and interest. We therefore hope
that they will march to the polls in solid
phalanx on the It'll of next month, and that,
as Mr.. Letter has been particularly made
the object Of the combined and systematic
assaults of whiggery, every individual
democrat will make Mr.. LIS cause his
own.

Mr.. Van Buren's Letter.

No: having room for the publication Of
this very lengthy document addressed to
the Utica Convention, we publish the fol-
lowing, comprising the substance Of what
he there says, and which, after careful
perusal of his letter, we believe to cover
the ground Of his opinions and assertions.
The synopsis is taken from an exchange.
"The substance Of Mr.. Van Buren's
letter was to the following effect. He an
nolnced his determination, previously ex-
pressed in 1914, to retire from political
life, to be unchanged. He declined a
nomination. He reviewed the proceed
ings Of the Baltimore Convention. He
declares that all the barnburners did was
perfectly right. He exhorts them to per-
severe and to make a separate nomination
His language was emphatic and filled with
emotion, yet strong and dignifed. He re-
commends frmness. His letter through
out is decided and emphatic, and in favor
of free territory principles.
He quoted eleven acts of Congress in
support of his argument, embracing the
administrations of Washington, Jefferson
Monroe, the elder Adams Madison, Jack
son, and his own. He declared that he
could not vote for Gen. Cass or Gen. Tay-
lor. That the extension of slavery was a
moral curse"

Hints to Ladies.

Men of sense-I speak not of boys of
eighteen to five and twenty, during their
age Of detestability-men who are worth
the trouble of falling in love with, and the
fuss and Inconvenience of being married
to, and to whom one might, after some in
ward conflicts, and course perhaps of
fasting and standardization, submit to full
fill those ill-contrived vows of obedience
which are extracted at the altar-such men
want for their companions, not dolls and
women who would suit such men are Just
as capable of loving fervently, deeply, as
the ringletina, full of song and sentiment
who cannot walk-cannot rise in the
morning-cannot tie her bonnet strings
taints if she has to lace her boots never
in her life brushed out her beautiful hair
would not, for the world prick her de-
licate finger with plain sewing; but who
can work harder than a factory girl upon
lambs wool shepherdess-dance like
dervise at Almack 's-ride like fox hun
ter-and, whilst every breath of air gives
her cold in her fathers gloomy country-
house, and she cannot think how people
can endure this climate, she can 90 out to
dinner parties in February and March,
with all inch of sleeve, and half-a-quarter
of boddice.-Mrs. Thompson.

"Tls a heart rent.ing thing
For ones kin to die in sin,3

Dan Mier's Ghost of old s:Buster."
So spake Daniel in old ''Buster,' and
we are happy to learn that there is pros
pect, if the thing is not already con-
summated, of ''good old Daniel removing
all fears among his '.kin" of that old Gus
toner dying sin SIM We understand
that inasmuch as the first Monday in
August, when the 'sickly season sets in,
is close at hand, his anxious friends about
Madison are curious to know whether
Rabbit has yet baptized him in the faith
of the Latter Day Saint. AS they are in
very close communion, and as Daniel can
not wish his friends to witness such a
"heart rending thing" we think it hardly
possible that he has neglected so important
a matter until this late day. We, hope,
however, he has no idea Of going to the
Great Salt Lake. If he has, we hope he
will abandon it, and split the difference be-
tween his friends, by stopping on the head
waters of "Salt River" where, we under
stand, it is the intention of his Democratic
friends to crow" him.-Keokuk Dis

1.-the Prairie du CHEN Patriot says,
that Mr.. F. STEELE, who is improving
one of the greatest water powers in the
world, at the Falls of St. Arthoney, is
rapidly pushing forward in the great work.
The dam, which is nearly completed, is
100 feet in length-400 feet from the
Wisconsin shore to the head of an island,
thence 300 up stream, to the foot of an
other island. The dam is l6 feet high,
built of heavy timber, and but short dis
lance above the principal fall. Upon the
dam will be built the saw mills, running
Is saws, and extending at intervals, from
the shore to the island. At the end of
the dam is space reserved for the erec-
ton of Touring mill. The completion Of
the work is contemplated the present year:
two or three saws will be in operation by
the first of August next. This is truly a
magnificent work, and when completed,
there can be no doubt of its proving a
profitable investment.

THE RoUGH AND READy.-Our old
friend H. S. Mcfarland, has taken down
the Taylor flag and proposes to turn the
Rough and Ready, of Iberville, one of the
first Taylor papers established in the coun-
try, into Cass and Butler paper. In his
number of June 81, he gives at length his
reasons for this change-which are sim
ply that he had supported Gen. Taylor as
an independent candidate, disconnected
from party-that he was willing to lose
sight of his party predictions and feel
ings, in order to elevate to the presiden-
cy man who would administer the gov
eminent, as the General expressed it, Gun
trammelled with party Obligations or in
terests of any kind" but that now, as he
has been nominated by the wings, made
party candidate, and the General has tacit-
ly acquiesced inthat nomination, he thinks
he is no longer bound to support him, but
will return to his first love and raise the
banner Of CASS and BUTLER, in a new
paper to be called the Southern Democrat.

u The Wings in Congress are iu.

u The Wings in Congress are just
now very busy in attempting to make po-
litical capital for General Taylor. With
this object in view, Andrew Stewart. that
arch demagogue, introduced resolution
calling upon the treasury for statement
Of the amount of money received for pub
lie services by Gen. Cass. To this Mr..
Jones Of Tennessee objected, unless Mr..
Stewart would agree to modify his rcsolu-
ton SO as to call for the full amount that
had been paid Generals Cass and Taylor
respectively, designating the regular from
the extra pay, and for what services rem
dered. This proposition was not relished
by the wings nor accepted by Stewart.
Mr.. Jones then offered resolution EN-
bodying his amendment to Stewards res
luton. But consistent whiggery objected
to the introduction of this resolution, af-
ter having consented to the introduction Of
Stewards. The secret of this opposition
was, that Gen. Taylor had received for
his services about one hundred and ftty
thousand dollars. Such humbuggery won't
win.

HWill Gen. Taylor resign, or will he
hold on to a fat salary until he sees wheth-
er he can get larger one? This is an i'm
portant question among some of the wings
at this time. They say that he had better
resign bis post in the army. lack, howev-
er, appears to think ''that bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush", and has
taken command of the Southern division
of the Army, with his headquarters at
New Orleans. $4,000 year isn't to be
thrown away for slim prospect of get
ting $4,000

Too Coon TO BE LosT.-We were told
ola little circumstance which happened a
little man the other day, for the correct
ness of which we will youch. On his
late electioneering tour in the upper part
Of this district, the wing candidate for the
State Senate accosted an old farmer, and
after convincing him that he really was the
veritable wing candidate above named,
took occasion to inform his auditor that he
was formerly from Virginia, and had once
lived near neighbor to him. Not lit
tie surprised, the old farmer asked: "Wha.,
are you one of those id little saucy
boys?" The would-be Senator vamosed
resolving, no doubt in his own mind, in
future to keep "Scott" free from all Vir-
ginians.

House BURNERs.-The Free Territory
Convention held at Columbus, Ohio, adj
journed on the 23d Of June. There were
400 delegates in attendance. A resolu-
ton was adopted in favor of holding Ma
tional convention at Buffalo, N. Y, on the
9Th of August next, for the purpose Of
nominating candidates for President and
Vice President. Thus it goes with defunct
whiggery. Ohio is beyond a doubt GER
tain for Cass and Butler. The Buckeye
wings don't like to be ''trampled down."

MosrRous IMprErY.-It appears that
a portion Of the Taylor men in Baltimore,
who were disappointed in not being able
to get up the great ratification meeting,
on Monday night, assembled in front Of
Barnum's Hotel, and were addressed by
several distinguished speakers. Among
them George r. Richardson: Esq, who
said that his first choice was Gen. Taylor
because ne did not wish to see Mr.. Clay
Inundated by another defeat. He expa-
tlated upon the qualities of Gen. Taylor
as called out by his battles in Mexico, and
said while he was loin and tiger in bat
tie he was lamb when the victory was
won, AND WAS CHARACTERIZED
BY A SENSE OF JUSTICE ALMOST
EQUAL TO THAT OF GOD HIM.
