wings in this city, have tended TO demoralize and
break down the party. Thus, the truth of the
Shakspearan adage has been again illustrated-
The gods
Are inst. and Of oar pleasant Woes Oft
Make instruments TO soeurge u.s."
Here have been these wings in power, using the
power and patronage of their position to their own
destruction! The most obnoxious appointments
have been made under the government of the city,
the State, and the general government Unpopu-
lar men, and the descendants Of unpopular men,
have been chosen as the recipients Of wing favor.
while the rank and file have been contumeliously
thrust aside. The result has been a degree of in
dlgnation and dissatisfaction in the wing ranks,
which we have not seen displayed In the history
of that party for many years past.
All things, then, concur in enforcing ths convlc-
ton upon the mind, that the bunker de democracy, as
il is called, will unite in this State at the coming
election with all the other elements of discomfort,
and produce complete and entire revolution from
New York to Buffalo. In this city itself, there
can be no doubt as to the result. The faction
called the barnburners received all their force
and impetus from the brilliant speeches and
sparkling witticisms of John Van Buren,. But he
Is now disposed, at all reasonable hazards, to
re-unlte with Tammany Hall, and take his chance
in the game of the future. In the metropolis, the
barnbumers never numbered more than few
miserable hundreds and in the coming election,
the democracy Of Tammany Hall will take their
measures, make their nominations, and 60 into the
field without regard to any particular Clique or
diques. They have the same old, broad, substan-
tial platform, on which they have achieved thou
sand victories heretofore and, although there was
no general comprehensive and formal union at
Rome, there will be union more effective and
more positive in detail, in the several counties and
senatorial districts, sprnging from the good sense
of the people and the general position of affairs,
than could have been effected in any other mode.
Every intelligent mind must, indeed, perceive
that the only method Of putting an end to the heart
burnings among the two sections of the country,
that might ultimately lead to dissolution of the
Union, is to be found in the position, principles,
and character of the old democratic party, gene
rally called the "hunker" party. They present
the only tangible basis on which the South can
unite with the North in national affairs. We look,
therefore, upon the approaching election in the
State OF New York, as one of the most important
in regard to the continued union of the States, and
the preservation of the great principles Of the lede
raj compact, that has taken place. 1t does not
yield in importance to the Presidential election it.
self. We await the issue with great anxiety,
strongly impressed by the belief that the old bunker
democracy, on their constitutional platform, will
successfully effect sweeping, if not a salutary
revolution

The CHOLERA AND BUSINESS PRospEsrs.-
reference to the report Of the Sanitary Committee
of this city, published in another column, it will
be perceived that the cholera Is decreasing very
rapidly, and the prospect is good that it will dis
appear entirely in few days. Only eleven deaths
are reported for the twenty-four hours ending yes
terdsy at noon, which is hardly anything, com.
pared to our population of half million or more.
II is uume, we think, that the Sanitary Commit
tee ceased reporting. The city never was more
healthy than it is at present, but those reports de-
ter persons at distance from visiting the metro
polls, although they may do so with perfect safety.
The cholera is confined to certain localities, which
are always unhealthy. The general health is as
good as il ever was.
The prospect before our business men is very
natiering. AS it Is, our first notes.-the Astor
House, the Irving House, the New York Hotel,
and others, are crowded to OVERLOOKING with
company and when the season ends at the
fashionable watering places, which will be the
case in a few days, New York will wear a more
busting aspect than it ever did. After the fancy
ball at Newport, the city will be as guy as ever,
and more so.

Iowa COLLEGE We publish this week
the notice put forth by the officers Of this
Institution for the information Of the pub
lie. The high reputation as scholar pos
sessed by MIR. Ripley, and his admirable
character as man, would OF themselves
call forth our hearty commentator of an
Institution under his charge. Buta person
al acquaintance, ripened into sentiments Of
esteem and friendship, enhances our appre-
citation OF his excellent qualities and high
attalnments, even above the standard which
public favor has accorded him. and prodn-
ces the llveliest interes, on our part in the
prosperity Of an Institution Of which he is
the head. Students who shall pass through
a regular course under his teaching, we
venture to predict, will hereafter give iowa
a reputation abroad for scholarship, superi.
or 10 any in the west.

DISTRIBUTING OFFICE.

That il is absolutely necessary that the
Post Office at this place be made Dis
,ributiug Office we wish MIR. Col'amer, r
NJ. G., to read the following brief state
ment and satisfy himself. The Hawkeye,
published at Burlington, says
! five are credibly informed, the Postmaster at
Keokuk has sent urgent letters to Chicago, Ierre
Iiaute, Vincennes, and indianapolis, requesting
the Posimasters 10 forward direct to his office all
tho mail matter from the east for distribution
Not knowing much Of the geography Of Iowa,
they have complied in many instances, and the
| consequence has been that eastern mail matter
has come through this Office directed TO the y. o..
at Keokuk, with hundreds OF letters that had to
be sent back not only to this place but as high
north as Davenport"
The above shows the necessity, i the
interests Of this place and those IN the i'm
mediate neighborhood alone be regarded,
Of making this Distributing Office.
To prove that the same necessity exists
for other points, even SO far south as Bar
lington, we draw again upon the columns Of
the Hawkeye. The editor says, and ii
will be remembered he is urging the claims
Of Burlington as Distributing Office, "We
are happy to inform the public that by
letter from Washington, received Yesterday,
we learn that sorders have been issued for
all matter to be sent to Iowa via Chicago"
If such be the case then all the mail mat
ter for this State, with the exception OF its
extreme north and south, mIst pass through
Davenport, hence the absolute necessity Of
it being a Distributing Office.
We happened in at our Post Office last
week when the P. NJ was distributing the
eastern mail via Chicago, this was previous
to the above arrangement, and yet the mat
ter Of that single mail was estimated at
fifteen bushels.

England that it does in this country, how
absurd for our iron men to pretend to COM

things must be done. We speak positively

must be increased, the wages Of our labo-

our iron workers must resign their bust.

this large branch Of business to compete
with England under the present Tariff, and
we hold to advancing the interests OF our

EDITORIAL CONVENTION.

It's the subject Of repeated remark, that
the country press Of Iowa is superior 70 'ha,
Of any State in the West. There is ye,
one particular in which its conductors
are deficient, and we hold it TO be suffi-
GENTLY important TO call for Convention
Of the fraternity. That is, a reciprocity Of
good feeling. A personal acquaintance
would soon beget this spirit, and for this
purpose and the consideration of other mat
tiers affecting the interest Of the press, We
deem a Convention of Iowa Editors highly
desirable, and trust our brethren may act
upon the suggestion.
