EASILY SATISFIED!

We made reference few weeks since,
to certain vile aud slanderous remarks
made BY one Dclazon Smith, at the Locofo-
CO celebration at tho Capital on the 9Th Of
January. So outrageous were the sen,i-
ments he uttered, that the Catholics Of the
Locofoco party, held q meeting u. Dubuque
70 take The subject into consideration. Az.
ter asccr.aining that such remarks had been
made by the aforesaid Smith and that d..
Mcdonnell, Catholic Of Iowa City, had been
villificd by Palmer Of tho Iowa City Repor
ter for dcnouncing them, they passed tho
following resolution
Resolrcd, That the course Of Mr. Palmer, Ed

LATER FROM MEXICO.
MORE lsUMOlsS OF PEACE,

Adyiccs have reached New Orleans oil
the 23d, from Vera Cruz, md from the Cit!
Of Mexico oi' The 10Th oil Jau.
The N. u. Picayunc correspondent writes
s.Tha, there arc peace propositions on their
way 10 Washington from the Mexican Gov :
crnmcnt, there remains nnt doubt. bdt
no Que here has positive Information rs to
The charac,c, Of these propositions. Some
one Of the thousand versions may chance
10 10 the correct one" The letter from
which this is extracted is dated the 22d
from Vera Cruz, and from a source upon
which we RELY with confidence.
The Arco Iris has seen letters from the
city Of Mexicf,, dated the 18th Of January
which say positively that peace has nl,ea-
dy been made, mud il adds that people o!
truth assert tina; the Government and the
authorities would very shortly be transfer
red to the city Of Mexico.
The following is an extract from pri.
va,c letter TO commercial house in N. Or
leans.

DUBUQUE EXPRESS.

A recent number Of tho Dubuque Ex-
press contains q communication which the
author appears to have devoted much time
und labor 10 compile. His object appears
to DO, to show the Boston Atlas and the
Davenport Guzctte that oil the dcscrtcrs
from the American army were not Irisl,
Catholics. As neither paper has cvor
avcrrcd such 10 he the fact, the authors
trouble has been entirely gra,uitous.
In alInsion to the communication, the
editor states, that we shave laborcd most
cncreetically to persuade our readers that
almost every descrter from the American
army has turned out to be either an Irish
or German Catholic" This remark has
no foundation in truth. Il is utterly and
entirely fabrication, and is made not, we
presume, with any design 10 injure us, but
to elevate himself in the estimation Of the
Catholic population with which tho young
IMAM has found himself surrounded. Sen
sibIe men will see through his shallow de-
vice, and shun him; foolish ones will en-
brace il, to find themselves in kindred CON-
pany.
When time hangs heavy upon our hands
we will again recur to the subject, and pre-
sent the young gentleman with few facts,
which, perhaps, from tho novelty Of such
things, may startlc him.

POLK AND SANTA ANNA.

On tho 18th Of May, 1916, Presitlen,
Polk gave bis official pass 10 enable SANTA
Anna to enter Mexico. The lives Of thou
sands Of American citizens and the sacri
fee Of millions Of treasure, have attcsted
the bascncss Of the net. On the 18th oi
May, lS41, just one twelyemon,h after.
wards, Gen. Parcdcs landed nt Vera Cruz
und escaped into the interior Of Mexico.
Tho American officer 10 command, in bis
official report, stated that the boarding Off
Ger and Inspector were to blame for the
transaction, nnd that he had discharged
them from office for this grievous neglect oil
duty. The Presiden, replied. officially,
"your prompt discharge Of the Inspector,
and of the officer whose duty il was to board
tho British steamer, is approved"
The question now arises, if il were righ,
to discharge these men for the sin Of omis-
sion, whit course should be pursued to-
wards our President Tor the greater sin vi
commission? 1.-THE ono is wrong, no logic
can prove tho other right, and vice versa.
These officers, through neglect Of duty. al
lowed an enemy to enter the country, and
were deprived of Office Cor their neglect Of
duty. President Polk not only permitted,
hut assisted greater enemy to enter Mex
leo, and yet he retains his Office.

MR.. GALLATIN ON THE WAR.


The venerable Albert Gallnlin has pub.
lishod another pamphlet; il is upon the ex-
penscs Of the Mexican War. The Chica.
90 Journal thus alludes 10 t.
.Ilc shows from reason aud from histor.
how runous wnr is upon national, CON-
ncrcial and individual prosperity. II is n
mnsterly exposition 81 the iinanci j question
connected with The Mexican war; nnd the
immense burthens which il will impose on
our government, in debts and losses, are
demonstrated in figures.
'Ilc is opposed TO the war-npPoscd to il
because il was commenced by violation
of tho Constisulion-and opposes its further
prosecution because, under the inevitable
consequences which must follow It's can
tinuance, il would newt ab s lead to the sub.
ingaiion and annexation Of all Mexico.
"On ono point, Mr.. Gallatin states a
fact incontcstable. The administration
talk about having security for the future. -
lie well says this is ''rcally too ridiculous!
mo one can suppose TINT Mexico will ever
invade the United States.'
"Wc hive the whole matter in our owu
hands. Whatever conditions Of peace We
want, we have only 10 say, and Mexico j.
in no condition now or is i, probable she cy.
err will be hereafter, TO dispute il with u.s.
lf tho war is continued, we must continue
it--Mcxico cannot. She is prosiratc ant
powerless; aud Cor the administration Il
set up plea that tho war must be continu.
ed till security is obtained for the future
il bat pretcncc To covcr some political
schcmc, which il is not deemed opportune
now for them 10 avow."

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The following paragraph is from the
Bloomington Herald. Our County Com
missioners will perceive that they have
made themselves liable to the Same impu.
tasion from the manner in which their re-
port was drafted. The law requires the
isems to be published and the people demand
= knowledge Of the manner in which the
moneys Of the county have been expcn-
ded. In other counties, the law has been
oboyed.
"Tho law makes il necessary TO have oil the
ITEMS, Of the receipts and expenditures Of the
county, published. Have our commissioners
done any thing which they fear the people to
see! This wise provision in the law is placed
there that all persons in tho county may have
the privilege Of seeing, for themselves, what the
commissioners have been about. Show your
hand, gentlemen; and obey the law"
