The people of this State acknowledge
the existence Of Supreme Being, the
creator and governor of the Universe,
and the creator, preserver and benefactor
of Mankind. They also believe that all
blessings flow from Him; that every en-
joyment they possess is the gift of His
hands; and that when it pleaseth HIM,
He can in moment strip them of those
blessings, and take from them even that
life Which he has bestowed. 1t would
seem that people cherishing such opin-
ions, would desire that day should be
! appointed in which they could assemble
and with fervent and overlooking hearts
publicly acknowledge the many blessings
which they have received; and with an
humble and confiding spirit, beseech that
grea, Being to continue to be our guardian
and benefactor. Entertaining the belief
that day set apart for such purposes
would meet with appreciation, and being
DESTROYS of following custom which
has been adopted by many of our sister

affections of the people of those States:

upon us; and I do respectfully request

which is humbly conceived to be the most
acceptable to Him, the incense Of hearts

Constructive Mileage--Referm,
Ac.
WAsHrNoroN. Oct. 26. ls49.

WASHINGTON, Oct. &c, l649.
Senators in Congress will no longer be
allowed to flch from the public Treasu-
ry under the spurious claim for soon
structive mileage" For years past, on the
advent of every new Administration, the
Senate has been in the habit of charging
full mileage for attendance at the special
Executive Session of that body, in addi-
ton the amount received for the regular
session. Of course this usage had its
origin during the existence Of the "dy :
nasty of peculators;" but it was killed a
few days since by that incorruptible and
intrepid guardian of the peoples money,
the Hon. ELISHA WHrTLEsEY, First
Comptroller of the Treasury.
1t seems that claim came up in usual
form, for $4,000. paid by A. Dickens,
Esq, Clerk Of the Senate, for soon
structive mileage" in attendance at the
special Executive Session in March last,
and that every member of the Senate,
save three, received pay. Who these
three are, | have not learned, further than
that Gen. CAss is one. Mr.. WHrTrLE-
sEy, after full deliberation, was of opin-
ion that the claim ought not to be allow
ed. Fearing, however that the admins
tration might regard this as an inoppor-
tune occasion for such action as might
displease the Senate, he stated the case
to the President, through Mr., CLAYTON,
and added the remark, that if it was not
thought proper to act in accordance with
his (Mr. W's) convictions, he would re-
sign the COMPREHENSIVE. The Presi-
dents prompt and characteristic reply
was, "IeH Mr.. WHITTLEsEy to do
,Ohat is right, andiet the consequences
take care of themselves" The claim
was Immediately rejected.
Mr.. Dickens has his remedy against
the honorable Senators, and ii is to be
hoped that they will Immediately snake
restitution"
have it from good authority that the
following gentlemen will be removed on
the LIST November.

The news from Paris juslifes the
prediction we ventured to make, at time
when there was much uneasiness in the
public mind, that the dismissal of NJ.
Poussin would not interrupt the friendly
relations subsisting between France and
the United States. In adopting course
alike demanded by the interests and hon
or of the country, the Administration ef-
fectually guarded against the possibility
of misinterpretation of a measure, which.
left without explanation, might have been
constructed to indicate an unfrieadly
feeling on the part Of the Government OF
the United States towards France. The
published correspondence had between
M. Poussin and the American Secretary
of State was complete justification OF
President Taylor; and Mr.. Clayton's let.
ter to M. de Tocqueville, informing the
French Cabinet of M. Poussin's dismis.
sal, whilst it was at once firm and digni.
fed in substance and tone, made it i'm.
possible that serious rupture should
grow out of the affair, unless France had
contemplated such an issue in neglectina

The First Drove Of the Season.

The First Drove Of the Season.
The Messrs Street Brothers of Agen.
cy City, started drove Of $50 fat hogs
to Keokuk the first of the week. A part
Of them were purchased 10 miles above
Oskaloosa, Mahaska county. The re-
mainder were purchased in this county.
They Lave made engagements on the
road between Agency City and Keokuk
which will increase the drove to 1000
This is the commencement of the Hog
droving for the season. There is a large
number of hogs in this county this sea-
son. which will either be packed in the
county, or drove to Keokuk. The pur-
chases already made, has made money
more plenty, and we hope when all the
pork is sold to see it much more so.-
The low price ofpork falls heavily upon
our farmers, as well as upon all classes
Of the community.

SLAVERY AGITATIoN.-A religious pro-
test against slavery has been made by
the New England Association of Con-
gregational Ministers, numbering some
500 members:
The positions assumed are that slave
ny is repugnant to religion and humanity,
that all classes are opposed to it, but diff
fer in regard to its origin, effects, and re-
moval; that the "Bible argument" Of the
south in favor of its continuance, has
been the cause of extreme anti-slavery
men denying the hand of fellowship to
the STAKEHOLDER, and that both these posi-
tons are wrong and injurious to the cause
Of final emancipation.

Gus plan of President Louis Napoleon
10 annex Rome TO France. He remarks
upon the fact. that the Retrogades in the
French Chamber have not dared to at.
tack the Presidents letter to Col. Ney,
and says: "The Pope will recede-if
not, there will be movement made, and
that very soon, the ultimate object Of
which will be to annex Rome to France.
If the Pope should continue to be obsti.
nate, Louis Napoleon will contrive to
have the popular vote of Rome given
asking for annexation"

Rail Roads.

A Rail Road convention was held al
Iowa City recently, at which there was
a good attendance. The greatest harmo-
ny and enthusiasm is said to have pre-
vailed. The convention passed series
Of resolutions, among which we find one
requesting our Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress, to use their influence
to procure grant of lands to the State,
for the purpose of constructing two rail-
roads, one from Rock Island to Council
Bluffs, and the other from Dubuque to
Keokuk. We are pleased to see that the
people of Iowa, are wide awake to their
true interests. Nothing but the most
blind, illiberal and self-destroying policy,
can ever prevent Iowa, embracing within
her limits as she does, to an eminent de-
gree, the elements of wealth and great
ness, from projecting and completing at
no distant day, many much needed
works Of internal improvement. The
convention also recommends the holding
Of conventions at Davenport, Fairfield,
Fl. Des Moines, and with view of ia
cilitating the said object, appointed 8
delegates to each, for Johnson county.
Az the building of this road is of the
greatest importance tp all parts of the
State-and to none less than the Des
Moines Valley-would it not oe well for
Wapello and the adjoining counties to
hold meetings and appoint delegates to
these conventions.
The construction of a railroad from the
Mississippi to intersect the main track of
the Pacific railroad on the Missouri, is of
the greatest possible importance to the fu-
ture growth and prosperity of Iowa. A
railroad is already in process of construc-
ton from the Lakes to the Mississippi,
and will be completed long before Iowa
can hope TO accomplish her part in this
great enterprise, the most stupendous of
the age. which is to unite twogreat oceans,
and create new era, in the trade and
commerce of the country and the world.
These different parts of the work once
completed, the north eastern branch,
which must ultimately be the main one
of the great highway of nations, will pass
directly through the heart OF Iowa. The
advantages to all classes of our citizens,
but especially to our farmers, in increas-
ing the talue of their land, and bringing
them MAR the best markets in the world,
where hey can always meet with ready
sales at fair prices will be incalculable.
1t is tobe hoped that nothing will be suf-
fered to prevent union and concentra-
ton Of action, in project of such gen.
eral utility to every part of the State.

HoRsEs PoIsoNED.-Eight horses, one
Of them belonging to Street Brothers, oil
Agency, were recently poisoned SO that
they died in few hours, 25 or 30 miles
below this place on the road leading
from this to Keokuk, from eating few
Castor Beans which accidently got mix
ed with their food. We have noticed
good many Castor Beans growing in
different parts of this county, and our
farmers should be careful least similal
accidents may deprive them of their
horses.

Under the above very ineligible cap
ton the delectable and very "curious"
editors "of this century" who preside
over the columns Of the Fl. Madison
Statesman make very lame attempt
to be witty at our expense, in noticing an
article which appeared in this paper
headed "political prospects,"
The attempt of the Statesman to give
the substance of the article referred to
is an entire failure. But no one, after
reading its garbled and unfair version of
Of that article, would believe for mo-
ment that they intended anything else
than what they did do-to misreprcsent
us, for base purposes. We can assure
the Statesman that although it may graf
ify it to dress us up in language we new
er used, that IL has about as little inhu.
ence in this section, as there is similari-
ty in our article and its pretended syn
opsis.
1t surely needed no "labored attempt"
TO prove that it is an undeniable fact
''that the Democracy, and other factions"
are sadly knocked out of joint by the
election Of Gen. Taylor. So far as the
dissolution of its party is concerned we
took the words of some of its own
members as good evidence.
We did not say that there was no hope
that Gen. Taylor would never be able to
carry out his policy; on the contrary we
distinctly said that the great Wing patty
of the country would rally around and
sustain his administration; for we look
upon this boosted union of all factions
Abolitionists, Hunkers, &c.,-as the per-
fiction of weakness to the Locofocos.
Now, that the Democracy are defunct,
this amalgamatior party will dig it a
grave and bury it $50 low that the land
of resurrection will never reach it,
The Statesman speaks of our ''cry.
ing and sobbing" over the "fall elections. -
The truth is, the editors of the Statesman
have "cried and sobbed" so much, of late,
over the decapitated trunks of pilfering
office-holders of its own party, that it
vainly fancies that every body else is
moved to tears in sympathy for them
Weep on, your days of sorrow and des-
pair have just commenced. You may
yet be able to atone for your opposition
and contempt to the right or Hunker
wing of the Democracy-to which you
have succumbed-for they do not des-
pise small things. All, all, are welcom-
ed, even the left wing of the "harmoni-
Gus" democracy of Iowa.
In short, TO wind up, we quote the fol-
lowing interesting opinion delivered by
Gov. Clark. of the Burlington Gazette,
and to which we can cheerfully subscribe:
"The Statesman may put what con.
struc.ion it chooses upon our words. A
paper that shows weekly that it does
not understand itself may ,oeH be ercu-
sed for not understanding Others"

We copy the following from the New
Albany Bulletin, of Friday:
We learn by gentleman from Orange
county, that on the evening of Tuesday,
a rencounter took place between Col.
Bowles, the Colonel Of the I'd, and DIR.
Sherrod, the member elect to the lower
house of our State Legislature. In the
course of the conflict pistols were freely
used, and the latter was shot down. The
wound was considered mortal, and the
doctor was not expected to live any time,
when our informant left. We have no
details as to the Gauss of affray.
