OF The ADDRESS of the Yearly Meeting
of Congregational Friends, which will be
found on our First Page this week, will re-
pay an attentive perusal. 1t presents som
topics which, under the rule of strict con.
struction, are no, legitimate upon the anti. sla.
very platform; bu, the spirit which il breathes
in every part is SO humane and catholic, and
its tone is elevated SO far above mere parti-
zanship, that we do not hesitate 10 publish il
entire. We can afford 10 publish somewhat
of the theology Of a body which takes such
thorough anti-slavery ground T.; and we prom
Use the sects which deem this new Quaker
association heretical, that if they will imi.
tate lis example so far as the question of Sla.
very is concerned, we will consen, TO publish
as much of their theology as will be a fair
offset TO that contained in this document.
The Address, we deem it proper to add, is
from the pen Of that clear.sighted and devoted
Reformer, THOMAS M'CLINTocK, Of Water.
loo, N. Y, than whom there is not in the
Society Of Friends in this country a man bet.
ter acquainted with its principles, or better
qualified TO illustrate and defend them.

We would directthe attention Of the people ofthis
county 10 the call for County Mass Meeting to be
held IN this city, dior the purposes Of elaboration
and sction in reference to the Improvement OF the
interior Of Iowa by Railways" The committee was
appointed by meeting held in this city, on the 10th
INST, % appoint delegates to attend the st. Louis
convention, and By authority Of that appointment
they have, upon consultation. selected Saturday the
9th day Of October rs the day for the meetings at
which time it is TO be hopedthe people will turn out
and be prepared to make stroag vigorous and uni
ted effort in favor Of the proposed contemplated i'm
OF the interior OF Iowa, BY Railroad from
Dabuoue 10 Keoxuk, and from Rock Island to coun-
Gil Bluffs. Now is the proper time, we think, just
upon the eve Of the meeting Of Congress- to agitate
this subject. It's acknowledged BY all that we need
raiwayslin Iowa. and this being the case we should
Il, look 10 our true interests, and keep up constant
agitation Of this subject, and enieavor to place 1t
before the next Congress in such light that that
body will see the business Of our claim, and the ul-
mate necessity and importance Of these improve

Re .uiis OfCabi Get Di-
plOBnacy.

The Boston Post has the following
opposite remarks in relation to the
results of the very brilliant diploma
cy of the Taylor cabinet, SO far
We stand fair chance, under the
very sapient and adroit administra-
ton of our foreign affairs by Mr..
Clayton, to get embroiled with all
Cnristendom, and the empire of ia
pan besides: Truly, it is a most H.
lustrious cabinet! The Post says:
When Gen. Taylor ordered the
navy Of the United States to block
ade Round Island, to prevent the
capture Of Cuba by the b'hoys, his
partisans congratulated the country
upon having an administration that
would save it from all broils with
foreign nations; but, like the other
advantages promised to flow from
the election of Gen. Taylor, this
too falls short of realization, for, ac-
cording to reports, the executive
branch of the government has got
into a very. serious difficulty with
France, and done what has not h ,p-
pened before within our recollection
absolutely dismissed, it is said, a
foreign minister! The N. Y. Cour-
Ter, at the same time, intimates that
we ought to compel Japan to open
her ports to us! A war with France
and Japan at the same time! Beau
tiful administration! If the Presi-
dent will dismiss his bungling Sec
rotary of State, and appoint Webster,
Crlttenden, Berrien, or any other
wing of common sense and common
capacity, he will benefit his country
by the change.

beg of them to awaken from their

upon the verge of the precipice over
which they are soon to be hurled by
the strength and power of united

Brutal Murder among the Indi.
:lssS.

A great deal of excitement recently
prevailed among the whites at Iowa
Point a settlement on the Missouri
river, situated about one hundred
miles above St. Joseph, owing to a
most revolving murder Which had
been perpetrated by party of Sac
Indians. We learned the particulars
from the officers of the steamer Mus
tang.
In the early part of last spring, a
Sac Indian, of some consequence
among his nation, was murdered
while on a hunting excursion in the
Pawnee country. His friends and
relatives endeavored for while to
obtain some kind of satisfaction; bu.
the Pawnees obstinately denying all
participation in his death, the subject
was finally dropped. Eight or ten
days ago family of sqlatters arr
we'd from the Pawnee country, where
they had lived for the past eighteen
months, to the neighborhood of Mas
sauaquot, village of Sacs. They
brought with them young Pawnes
girl, whom they had obtained from
her parents with the intention Of glV'
ing her a suitable education. lhey
had been encamped near the villase,
only short time, when party Of
about twenty Sac Indians, who hao
gained intelligence of the female,
presence, arrived and surrounded
their wigwam. The girl was drag
ged to the ground, and after having
been mortally stabbed by young
Massauquot, son of the old chlel,'
she was shot, and finally her heao
was entirely severed from the boo!'
N injury was offered to the whites
the only object of the party belng'a.
retaliate for the murder of the Pa''
sp,ing.
News of this horrid outrage having
been carried to one of the forts .
party of dragons were immediate!
despatched, who succeeded in arre'
ting two Indians known to have 70
ken an active share in it.-St. L0u''
