POLITICAL FORGERY.

We do not know that there is any
thing morally wrong in appending the
name Of any whig to an address which
may be issued from the pen Of those who
arrogate to themselves the title Of ''uhig
leaders," but it is really placing a man
in an embarrassing position.
Mr.. Timmons, wing member OF the
late legislative assembly Of Iowa, was in
town few days ago, and on being ques-
toned with regard to the sentiments con.
tanned in the late address of the wings in
that body to which his name was attach
ed, declared his entire ignorance, that
such an address was in existence.
Awkward, as this made Mr.. Timmons
appear, it is quite tolerable when compar-
ed with the position in which Mr.. J. D.
Bourne Of Clinton county is placed, by
having his name appended to the same
address,, inasmuch as the address takes
strong Wilmot Provise grounds while
Mr.. Bourne, although whig member oil
the assembly, voted and acted invariably
in opposition to that doctrine.
Verify, these wings don't know each
other.

full perusal. Let not its great length de-
ter any one from reading it.
A certain Senatorial cook, has, as is
we'll known, lately served upa dish for
the people Of Iowa, and has endeavored
to force it down their Threats by adding
the ,ceigM Of the names Of nineteen wings
This dish, on being examined by one
acquainted with the manner Of doing bus
mess at the capitol, is found to be like

nature ofwhich one knows but little, un
less he visits the "shops" where they are
prepared,

TELEGRAPHlc NEws.-Great complaint
is made Of inaccuracies in our telegraphic
quotations Of the markets. Our attention
has been especially called to our reports
Of the New York pork market. 1t seems
that our last quotations in figures gave
$l4 so as the price Of mess pork; since
when the market has been represented as
"qulet," "unchanged," "dull," &C., but
without noting any change in price Now,
the facts seem to be, that the price Of pork
on Friday and Saturday last was but
$12 so for mess, and $1l SO for prime,
showing a positive decline Of So per bar
rel since the telegraph gave the figures.
These blunders show how little reliance

der the present system, and call impera-

have been selected as the Cabinet Officers
The latest news from Washington, which
was up to the 28th ult., says that Gov

Cabinet, and that J. M. Clayton will be
the Secretary Of State.
We further lea IN that Abbot Lawrence
Of Mass, will be offered the Sccre:aryship
Of either the Tseasury or the Navy.
We presume that Hon. T. B. Smith OF

1t will be seen by reference to our
Congressional Summary, that, the Bill
which was presented bp Gen. Jones in
the early part Of the session, and refer
ed to the committee. on Public Lands,
granting donation Of Lands for the Du-
Buque and keokuk rail road, has been
reported back by that committee with an
amendment.
What that amendment is, we have not
yet been able to learn, but presume it tc
be Of minor Importance.
This action ofthe Committee is most
important step towards the final accom-
plishment Of the object sought, and may
be considered as guarantee Of the ia,
vorable action Of the Senate upon the
question. We feel confident of entire
success at the next session Of congress.

Attic request of one Of our old citizens
we publish the following communication,

Of the city Indebtedness.
AS the act Incorporating our city re-
quires the annual publication Of "a state.
ment Of the receipts and expenditures Of
all public moneys belonging to said city:
and also, Of all debts due and owing to
and from the same the inquiries will, at
the proper time, be answered by the pro-
per authorities.
Mr.. EDIToR:-l learn from the Gaz-
cite, that the city Of Galena is in debt to
the tune Of some $4,000! As editors
are kind Of public property, and have
long since submitted to be INTERCEPTED in
regard to all public matters, | herefore
respectfully ask you to give us the in
dehedness Of the City Of Dubuque!
The people have been, for several
years, heavily taxed-and where is the
public Improvements? Bluff Street has
been ruined, and several individuals liv
ing on that street have suffered loss
by the city Improvements. What has beer
done for the last three years by our mum
cipal authorities? Where is the fulfill
ment Of the promises, publicly made by
the Mayor and Aldermen in relation tc
the Free Ferry, and certain reforms they
were to carry out, if elected?
After the election, the Board, by Ger.
tain influence, became as helpless and as
easily charmed as the jay bird, when I'm.
der the mysterious influence Of the rep.
tile. The Free Ferry question is sleep.
ing, only to be revived at the eve Of the
next municipal election But | am d.

city is in debt? Like the Galenians, we
have been travelling along blindly. Oul
officers lack moral courage to carry on
what they promise. Let the out going
authorities tell us what they have done

Those persons who volunteered their
services in behalf Of the United States,
under Capt. John Parker, Of this place,
will perceive, by the following letter,
that, through the nstrumcntal'ty Of the
Honorable Senator to whom it is add ress-

the sacrifices they made.
1t is a source of qualification, not only
to Capt. Parker and his men, but to the
community generally, that this just deci-
sion has been made.

THE PROTOCOL.

We did not intend to have mentioned
this subject, had not the Tribune Of this
city attempted to lead his readers into the
ridiculous error which attaches 10 it.
1t is not strange, that the enemies Of
Mr.. Polk, and of his administration, should
desire to ternish, if possible, the splendor
and glory Of that renown with which he
re,ires, and which they SO much envy
and finding no other opportunity Of ma
king an attack, this scare crow story of
the protocol" is brought forward with
the vain hope of elfecting their object
WHAT'S "Protocol''? IT'S a record
Of diplomatic intercourse, or conyersa-
tons, preliminary to, or explanatory of,
Treaty.
In the Treaty Of Guadalupe HidaIgo,
by which the u. States came in posses.
sion Of porlien OF the Mexican Terrific.
ry, contained an article (the loth> which
rerired certain Spanish grants Of land in
California, New Mexico, and Texas, the
title to which had been forfeited.
This article the Senate Of the United
States struck out, and made some other
less important amendments, and sent the
Treaty, thus amended, back to Mexico for
ratification by their Congress.
Previous to their action upon it, sever
al conferences were held by the Commits
soners on each side, and the "Protocol''
in question contains the substance Of those
conferences.
The Commissioners on the part Of the
U. States asserted that "zegitimate titles
to every description ofproperty, person.
al and real, existing in the coded terri.
tory, preserved their legal value," not,
withstanding the suppression of the 10th
article Of the Treaty by the us. Senate
But it will be seen, that the forfeited
claims which this 10th article Of the trea.
~ sought to reuire, were not considered
.lcgitimate titles" or. as having any 'ze.
gal ralue,'' and therefore we're not refer.
red to at all in the Protocol.
Its reference is onlyto those Legitimate
titles, the validity Of which no one eve,
thoughto of dispu,ing, and thus the instru
ment itself becomes devoid of all interes
or Importance, and was so regarded by
the President.

THE CALIFORNIA BILL.

1t ls said that Senator Benton will op-
pose the Bill reported by the select COM
mlttee of the Senate, for the formation of
the State Of California, and will go in ia.
vour Of a Territorial organization, with
the Wllmot Proviso annexed.
A Bill of that character, passed the
House of Representatives on the 25th ill.,,
by what vote we have not learned. It
was read twice in the Senate, on the same
day, and referred TO the Territorial CON-
mittee.
We fear that no Bill has been passe
at the session now closed,
