The citizens Of the Dcs Moincs Valley begin TO
find out who is interested in keeping hack the i'm
provements Of their river. We fear that some Of
those engaged in its construction feel much less
interest in its completion than many Others who
were supposed to be Indifferent to its progress
We also fear that the proceeds Of the liberal grant
ofbeaatiful land by Congress, are in fair way to
BE- squandered by an unremuneratng disposition Of
the funds. We can tell our friends in that region
that the people Of Des Moines county sympathise
with those Of her namesakc valley, and would do
Ill they could to secure the progress OF the work
ana IN honest and well meant application of the a-
preparation. They feel that the distractions that
have been thrown in the way Of free navigation TO
the people ofthe Des Mones Valley, should be de-
precated by all.
Rail Road from Peoria to Oqua,cka.--rhe last Pc
oria Register urges the necessity Of constructing
tbs road, for which charter has been obtained,
from that city TO Oquawks. The Senator from
Knox district, Hon. John Denny, declares thai in
- hours he could get 100000 Of the stock taken bv
the people Of Knox cou,ty. The length Of the road
will be about so miles, and the editor sets down
the cost Of construction at about $4,000 or as,
626 per mile. This must be an underestimate. The
road would cost, complete. about Si,O00,OOo. II
will require some eastern capital, and we doubt il
that could be obtained unless the road were extern
ded to Burlington, to tapthe very best part OF
lows, IN connection with our Plank Road out west.
Eastern capitalists would take all the stock ifit
could unite from this part If Iowa with some cas-
sernine, and we think for their own benefit, our I'LL
sois friends would do well 10 take our suggestion
into consideration. Liberal subscriptions could be

when there was reruted attempt to unite the
Free soil and Wing party in this state. the rumor
was made the occasion by the loco focos, and used
as weapon in their hands to defeat the Wing par
ty. Appliances were employed BY them, which
were successful, in keeping hundreds Of wings
from the polls. Wings who had felt the whitening
influence Of political abolitionsm, rejected the idea
of acting with party who willing to sell them
selves to the highest bidder. loco focos had
10 do to nullify the opposition Of such wings was
to persuade them that there was to be union OF
political abolitionists and wings on the ticket
They did this, and effected their object. These To-
co focos seemed 10 have most holy horror IN the
thought Of being in anywise identified with such
abolitionists. But how soon and how easily do
they change their tune, when such q connection 10
to benefit them! Look at the late courtship and
marriage between the loco focos and abolitionists
in New York. The loco foco editors are now try
ing to sing paeans Of JOY at the successful consum-
nation, although, to many democratic ears such
music is fuflof discords.
We will not condemn the party In toto, until we
see the result Of this twice rejected amalgamation.
We will not, because we believe that among the
masses in the loco party are to be found the Same
consistent reluctance to join in with the political
abolitionists, as was manifested by hundreds Of
wings at the late election in Iowa.
Whatever may be the issue, all those who do not
believe in the doctrine that call is fair in politics.,
must condemn the bargaining and bribery which
have produced the union. All attempts to secure
it were unavailing, until definite price was nam
ed. The offer came from the abolisionists to have,
in the disposition Of ethe spoils,' three Offices;
and it was accepted by the Albany Regency. The
leaders are now confident Of success. They may
secure it; but it win be at the expense of honor
and self respect, and cannot eyentuate in any per-
manent good to their party. Every honest demo-
crat must detest the means, however much he may
desire the end.

elected on Saturday last. He is now eligible, al

are sorry the Legislature did not select better

were Breese and McClernand.

OruM EATING IN New YoRK.-We are informed
that the practiceQf eating opium has lately become

BILE and refined portion Of our population, especially
the ladies' In one instance, we have heard that
lady who nervous In regard to the cholera, ap-
piled to the family physician for relief. lie pre-
scribed an ordinary dose of opium, but on inquirng
the next day if his patient better, he was sur
prised to hear that the dose of opium which he had
the day before prescribed, and which had been
taken by the lady, had not produced the slightest
effect. He was amazed at the result, and nsti-
tuted some inquiries, the result of which was that
the lady was in the constant habit of using daily
double the quantity of opium which he had pre-
scrbed It's non-nfuence was of course imme-
dlately accounted for.
This practice Of opium eating is, we fear, becom-
ing too prevalent; and if be not abandoned soon
we shall see it used as regularly by our lady popu-
lation as the usual articles Of the toilet In need
less for us point out the evil consequences which
follow the habitual use of that drug II is not I'M
probable that great many Of the nervous diseases
which they now suffer under may be attributed TO
this practice. We trust this warning will have
some good effect.
