All those who hold the Constitution of
the United States TO be something better
than a nose Of wax, to be twisted into any
shape that suits the ambition or the will
tulness ofthe individual filling for the time
the Presidential Office, will be gladto learn,
from the proceedings of the House OF Rep
resentativcs on Monday, published in TO-
days paper,) that the assumptions of
Legislative power by the Executive, dur
ing the Mexican war, are not to be passed
over in unbroken silence by the present
Congress. The resolution adopted by the
House, on the motion of Mr. Bolts, calling
upon the President Tor the grounds of his
conduct in this particular, is at least an
assertion Of the right of,he House of Rep
resentatives, the Grand Inquest Of the
Nation, to hold him to account for it. II
nothing more serious should grow out of
it than the demand itself, it will stand upon
record as protest against dumb acquies-
cence in the grossest infractions Of the
Constitution ever yet attempted by the
Executive Of the United States. Such,
we have reason to think, is the view taken
OF the Presidents "Orders in Council"
not BY Wings alone, but by eminent iurists

none ever will denounce those acts for

But the loccfocos expect 10 be sustain
ed in their attempts upon Pottawattamie
by the religious prejudices Of community!
This party (,he locofsco) who count a.
monp its leaders the most prominent Init
dels in the land; this party who, whatever
their practices may be, or have been, gem
orally preach religious liberation and free
dom Of thought; this party who in framing
the Constitution Of Iowa, indirectly sane
toned atheism by providing in.that instru-
men, that no witness should be question
ed or refused his oath in consequence Of
his religious opinions; this party (the To-
cofoco) now seek to disfranchise the vo-
tiers Of Pottawattamie and appeal to reli-
gious pre,udices to sanction and sustain
themselves in the act. "Oh! consistency,
thou art a JEWELL
But the voters Of Pottawattamie, (say
the locofocos, did not exercise the privi-
lege Of freetnen at the August election;
they sold themselves TO the Wings! Thus
ever is it with the leaders of locofocoism
in their pretences of love and regard for
the "dedr people," Before the elections
they are full Of honied expressions Of re-
gard and love for the "dear peoples" but
behold; whenever the people in the exer-
else Of their patriotism, wisdom and lis
erection cast their sufirages for the Wing
cause; then how altered is the locoioco lam
guage. 1t is not now the "desr people"

and expressions, 1.-THE people were drunk

CONC TO CALIroRNIA.-Ther is evil
IDENTITY something ola speculation connect
ed with some Of the statements Of New
York papers, as to the relative advantages
and disadvantages Of the l>thmus route TO
California, and that by sailing around Cape
Horn. The N. Y. Sun, which discounte-
nances the former route OH account of al
legged crowds at Panama, says:
A Quaker gentleman who, with FIVE
hundred dollars in his pocket, started for
the gold region short time since, return
ed yesterday with barely twenty five cents
he went TO Panama, but there was 10
means Of going farther, and he had TO re-
turn. Under these circumstances, it is
cruel in his friends to ask why he did not
bring along the gold dust.
This looks something like puff for
sailing vessels.
On the other hand, a writer in the Jour-
nal Of Commerce remarks:
| have investigated this question for
some young friends, and l unhesitatingly
say, that, in my opinion, the route by way
OF Chagres is the one combining the most
advantages, especially if the emigrant has
but little money, and wishes 10 reach the
gold region early. My young friends can
raise two hundred dollars and an outfit
That will place them at San Francisco,
leaving some forty dollars in their pock-
cts, and perhaps more. The story that
1000 or 5000 persons are at Panama,
waiting passage, is without foundation

ARREST OF Dr. MIrcHEsoR.-The
Louisville Journal, of Wednesday last,
has the following paragraph: Most of our
readers probably remember an extraordi-
nary case that occurred in Shelby county
last April. DR. Nicholson, having Sc
dnced the wife Mr. Daniel Guthrie, pre-
vailed on her 10 attemp 10 poison her hus-
band; she finding herself detected in the
effort acknowledged her guilty acts and
her guilty intentions: DR. NJ, note from.
whom was found upon her person, fed to
parts unknown, and the Governor of Ken
lucky offered reward of FIVE hundred dol
lars for his arrest.
We learn from the Por: Gibson miss. !
Herald, that Nicholson was recognised a
few days ago, while passing through Port
Gibson, that he was pursued and arrested
at Grand Lake, Ark, and that he was
placed on the steamer Silas Wright, in
custody Of Mr. Allen Davis, to be brought
back to Kentucky.

The Cholera In New Orleans.

We are Indebted to friend for the pc.
rusal OF private letter from one OF oul
citizens in New Orleans. 1t was writer
on the 22d inst, and by man who is moi
likely to be carried away by the panic
which exists in regard to the cholera. He
says that this was the all-abso,bing topic
OF conversation. The excitement was 81
great that the town would be depopulated
in ten days. The St. Charles Hotel, which
had been crowded TO overAowing, was
comparatively de>erted-one table in the
dining hall snfficing 10 accommodate all who
remained. The thermum-trr that day was
at $50 in the shade, and umbrellas were
freely used in The sun. The streets were
in an awful condition. The steamboats,
leaving port were filled with passengers,
running from the cholera.
Business was seriously affected by this
state Of things, Produce was declining.
Flour sold at $40, and lot Of corn went
off that day at 80 cents. The produce
speculators-the writer says-will suffer
awiulIy. ...f..
AT meeting Of the Board Of Health
on the 22l, the cholera uns declared an
epidemic.-[Mo. Republican.

THE CHoLERA.-The steamers Grano
Turk ard .7ndrew Fulton, arrived ye>ter-
day, from New Orleans. In addition 10
news paper statements, we learn from the
officers and passengers, that the cholera
was raging in that city 10 fearful extent
Thousands Of persons were leaving daily,
the greater number oil whom were passing
mp the Ohio 10 the mountainous regions of
Pennsylvania. The steamer Grand Turk
had eleven cases during the trip, Of which
number four died. The remainder had
nearly recovered when the boat reached
port. The Andrew Fulton had seven
cases during the trip, and two Deaths
She had one case on board at the time of
her arrival. One of the deaths, Mr. Hosh-
er, cabin passenger, occurred yesterday,
when the boat was but few miles below
the city. AT eleven o'clock he was APP
parenlly as healthy as any man onthe boat,
and al two corpse. An eminent physi-
clan was on board, who rendered every
possible assistance, but it was Of no avail.
He pronounced it true case Of Asiatic
cholera. From the officers of the Fulton,
we learn that, upto the month OF the Ohio,
elven deaths had occurred on the steamer
Peytona, and that at the time large num-
her were lying PROSTATE with the disease.
We are no alarmi<ts, but believe the Asiat-
ic cholera is making more rapid strides
towards our city, than we are aware of.
II behooves our city authorities TO speedi-
ly set about putting our city in a condition
to be prepared to battle its progress.-Lb.

The Recommendation Of the Post Master General
to charge newspapers by weight is very properly
ridicued in the papers, He intimates that printers
can send OF their papers dry. As the P. M. G. is
about to cnve in and will have nothing to do for the
next eight years, we propose that the Printers
throughout the Union make up purse Of say six
thousand year, FOR the purpose ofencouraging him
to invent some method to dry each sheet the IN

him now experimenting on four Gaze attachment: TO

infusion to be amagamaed with the pulp, while it is

whereby paper can be so prepared in the process

good an impression when in dry in damp state.
We charge nothing for these valuable hints.
Instead ofthrowing any obstacle in the way Of the
transmission Of newspapers, we think the spowers

subscribers in the country are not only obliged to

to get them.

Price Of Pork.-Packips, &c.

seems that we have been behind the market
every week. Last week we put down pork at 81,
rs as the highest notch, when some of our mer.
chants were actually giving $3.50 per cwt. In this
way we presume one Of the st Louis papers gave
out that Burlington was paying but 81, when other
towns around US were paying s2,25. The fact
is Burlington has paid as high prices as any other
place. We are not much in the habit of doing
any thing detrimental to the interest Of Burlington
and II we have erred this time, it was through the
information OF others. At the commencement OF
the season. the business wss carried on pretty much
on the Gown hook' fashion, and no standard was
established until it industriously circulated in
the country that the farmers would get less for
their hogs in Burlington than elsewhere. This led
thousands Of hogs to be driven hundreds Of miles,
at great loss to their owners, when they actually
realized no larger prices than they might have re-
ceived BY coming direct to Burlington.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the killing,
cutting mp and packing business has been carried on
in Burlington on an extensive scale. We are in.
formed, on good authority, that more than thirty
fhouscnd hogs will be packed here the present sea-
son, some Of which are very heavy.

PLANK nOAnS


The attention of the people in this region Is low
turned to the construction of Plank Roads. The
experiment has been fully tested and their utility
demonstrated. The Farmers, who receive imme-
date benefit from the facilities OF getting to market
by such means, can of themselves easily devise
and construct them. The numbers already and now
being laid in New York, Wisconsin and Illinois,
show that they pay well. Four horses, on one of
the plank roads leading from Utica n. Y haul car
OF forty persons with more ease and speed, than
they can nine passenger coach full over a COM
mon road. Soin hauling produce, much larger loads
can be taken to market, with less team. In what
ever light it may be viewed the Plank roads offer
facilities to the farmer which cannot be secured BY
either Mcadamized roads or rail roads. All would
prefer to pay small toll for the privilege to carry
their produce on dry plank road-especia:ly when
the common roads are had-than to occupy twice
the time besides worrying out their teams on COM
mon road for nothing.
We have no doubt that the steps already taken by
our own and The citizens of Mt. Pleasant will cventu-
ate in the construction of road of this kind between
the two places, which will no doubt be extended to
Fairfield and Washington. The most fraternal feel
ing exists between the citizens Of this y ace and
Mount Pleasant and such an improvement would
only tend to increase this de sirable feeling.
Our correspondent :sF,' who has been conversant
with the utility Of Plank Roads from their COM
mencement in this country, has given information
which must be Of great value to all who may wish to
inform themselves on this subject. We think, how
ever, that he has made very liberal estimate and
that road between this place and Mount Pleasant
can be constructed within his estimate.

Armer who wished to know why il would not be
for his interest to have the principle OF free trade
in force. The reply is completely illustrated as
TO need no comment. Every farmer should read
these articles.

very interesting The elopement of the Pope is con-

IS especially SO when viewed in the light of the
brief article which we have copied on our first page
from the Boston Transcript. The great upheavinss
in Europe mean something, and if there is design
on the part Of God to make speedy work in accom-
plishing his benevolent wishes towards earth, no
tyranny OF man or ofgovernments canput stop to
