IMMIGRATION TO IOWA.

We were apprchepsive that the tide Of
emigration setting towards the golden re-
gions of California, would have the effect to
deprive Iowa of the usual spring accessions
to her population. We are glad to perceive,
however. that such is not the case. The
fertility Of her soil, and the salubrtv of her
climate, are too we'll known to be neglected.
Thousands are leaving the sickly climate of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri
or the WORKOUT soil ofthe eastern and south
ern States. to seek home ofcomfort, health
and happiness upon the beautiful prairies of
Iowa.
A very considerable addition will be made
% the population Of Clayton county the pre-
sent spring. The same may be said Of the
North of Iowa generally; and we learn that
large number are locating in the Valley Of
the Des Moines River.

THE CpNyENTIsN.

re call upon tho Demorac o'the state
to meet in Convention a,the Capital, has
been made BY the statecentral COMMITTEES,
and it is important TIT each County should
have her full rrpres ntasion in that Conven-
tion,
We presume the different counties will
oe prompt ID the selection oftheir Delegates.
and wiz be carefu,to send such persons as
viii reflect the will Of their constituents in
their action as members of that body.
The Offices to be filled at the August elcc-
ton. and for which candidates are to be Sc
iected by this Convention, though few in
number, IRE important in their character.
In the proper discharge of the duties devolv-
ing upon the Board of Public Works, is in
volved much that is Of paramount import
ance to the interests of our State. Those
duties should be imposed upon none but
prompt, efficient. intelligent: business men;
those who have proved themselves thorough
ly capable of discharging them with honor
to themselves, and with credit to the State.
Upon the Convention o. the 2eth Of June,
will devolve the duty of selecting such men
as candidates to fill those Offices.
A report was in circulation some time
since, that Judge Cookery, the present Sc
cretary of the Board, would not be candi-
date for reelection. We have never heard
anything of the kind, directly from Judge
Cookery, and have never supposed there
was any foundation fer such report.
The following, from late numbersof the
Keosauqua Democrat, which we presume
speaks advisedly upor that subject, will put
the matter in it's true light:
sin connection with this subject, we will
remark, that report has been put in circu.
lation that Mr.. Corkery and Bratain will
not be candidates before the Convention fol-
denomination to the Offices which they now
hold-this. strictly speaking, may be true
the Board of Public Works are Democrats
therefore they stand where every democrat
should stand, neither to seek from their par.
ty an office, nor decline one when offered
this we hold to be democratic doctrine. and
are only sorry to see it regarded so little by
aspirants to Office.
The present Board of Public Works have
been elected by the people, they have serv-
ed in their respective Offices long enough
for the people to Judge of their ability to
serve them, if the people are satisfied, they
will continue them in office. If not, they
will elect other men to fill their Places
The people have right to do all this--not
only right, but it is their duty, and with
the people, mot few designing men, the
Board of Public Works, as we nderstand it,
are willing to leave the matter. If they are
nominated, they will accept the nomination;
if not, they will be the last men to complain
of the Convention"
