The Davenport Convention.

Old Des Moines, we hope, will be well represent
ed at Davenport the 10th proximo. If Fort Mad
ison, Pontoosuc, oquawka, Port Louisa, New Bos-
ton, Muscatine, Keithsburg Rock Island, Davenport
and all the towns both sides Of the river, up to
Dubuque, were careful as Burlington has been to
gather statistics and demonstrate the difference in
amounts paid for freight between high and low wa
ter, and the actual shipments of produce and re-
ceipts of merchandise at each place, as to be en-
bodied in the report to be made by the proposed
Convention, we have no doubt it would present an
array Of facts that would be astonishing, and which
could not do otherwise than influence Congress to
grant liberal appropriation adequate to clear the
distractions in about year from this time
Why will not the citizens OF these places attend to
this business 1t is very simple. All they have to
do is TO obtain from those who have received freight
Of any kind the amount, and make distinction be-
tween that received during high and low water. And
so of the exports. We hope the friends TO the i'm
provement viii attend to this matter without de-
Law.

crcu,tous route?'' It is the most direct route to
the valley. Besides, by sending eastern mail mat
ter to be distributed at Keokuk, while it does not
benefit the valley. it gives to Des Moines mail mat
ter for this place just one day behind the time. All
can see this. The distance from Springfield being
the same between Burlington and Keokuk, of course
mail matter sent to this place ria Keokuk must be
day behind. If, then, that place is to be made
the distributing office for eastern mail matter, It
will operate unjustly on U.S. and we shall have cause
to complain. But we do not believe the Department
will permit such diversion. particularly as it Will
facilitate the transmission of mail matter into
the Valley of the Dcs Moines, for which the Keokuk
papers so strenuously contend. Such matter can
as well and as speedily be sent to Fairfield, where
it is distributed, from Burlington as from keo-
kuk, to say nothing Of the great convenience that
would result to contiguous counties north and west
of us.
There many other points involved in this
matter which we should like to discuss, but as we
/ fear we have already written long article as
to secure its being cast aside unread, we will close
for the preSent.

President, Taylor,s Views.


The following will show that President Taylor is
just where we have always proclaimed him to be.
The Free Democracy have condemned him in adj
vance, without reason. We always felt that his
patriotism would triumph over what seemed to be
his interest. The Free Democracy have never awar-
ded to him such virtue; on the contrary they have
abused him in advance if they were sure he did
not possess it. 1t is the true wing ground, and Gen.
Taylor has even now, before he could reasonably
be called upon to announce his sentiments on the
subject, clearly and manfuy defined his position in
relation to this vexed subject. He has not only in
timated that he would sign bill with the Jefierso
MAN or wimot Proviso attached, but has express
ed desire that it should be engrafted in the Organ
ic law of California il has been in that OF oregon.
Every mail brings something to show that Presi-
dent Taylor is just the man for the crisis. He is
just the we took him to be, and is deserving OF
the confidence placed in him by the majority who
elevated him to his present exalted position. We
will no longer keep our readers from perusing his
declarations on this momentous subject.
"PRssIpRNr TAYLOR AND FREE SoIL.-Durng the Wis.
it of President Taylor Pittsburgh last week, he
10 regard his views the question OF slavery
extension. The President with characteristic cantor,
sponded in follows Although STAKEHOLDER
HIMSELF he regMied slavery as great moral and poca
evil and would be infinitely rejoced if every where
utterly exting ushed he did believe that Congress
the constitutional right to interfere with slave
~ the States wherein it exists, but it had the
right and should exercise it to prevent its extension INFO
territory free. Since he had left Washington he had
received letter informing him that notice had been given
to the government that the people of California about
form State Constitution, containing the slavery proh
btion, and would apply for admission into the Union al
early dayhe expressed his qualification at this, and
declared that should receive his cordial sanction he
utterly hostile the introduction Of slavery into the
territories.
We derived the above from well known gentleman o
Pittsburgh, who present when the President expressed
his aud communicated to in the
of General Lamer OF the leading members OF the free
soil party. There question that in reference to free
SOIL well in reference to the tariff the national ad
minsraton will prove what of the north consider
thodox Why should the free soil men continue TO main
tain hostile attitude the national and State ad
ministration. "-Butler Comfy Wing.

MODEST SuGGEsTIoS.--The editor of
the Keoknk Register very modestly sug-
gests TO the Post Office Department to dis
pense with the tri-weekly mail between
this place and Springfield, and thus save
the expense ofkeeping it up. That would
certainly give monopoly of the eastern
news for one day at least in advance of
Burlington, and for supremely selfish
suggestion, it will pass muster. The De-
partment knows all about these routes,
and instead Of disseminating the tri-week-
ly, we should not wonder were it 10 put
on an additional three days service so as
to give Burlington and all the country
ives; of it, including large portion orthe
Des Moines Valley, daily mail direct
from Springfield. If it wishes to allow
Burlington the same facilities that are en-
joyed BY Keokuk, it will do so.

One hundred and fIiy thousand ne,

One hundred and fifty thousand per-
sons die annually of consumption in the
the United States; so say the best informed
medical writers. This mortality might be
reduced nine-tenths, if early recours be hal
to DR.. Rogers Syrup of Liverwort and Tar.
For proof, see pamphlet in hands of Agent.
OF all the naaladies Nth sohich man
kind are afflicted, but few are more distress
ing than Fever and Ague, Intermittent AMI
Renittent Fevers; and none, perhaps, that
so eilectually ruin the constitution, giving
rise to Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Inlisss-
ton, and not unfrequcntly Consumption
To all who are thus afflicted, and saek a
speedy delivery, we hold forth the bright
jewel of hope, and the cheering intelligence
that they too may be Immediately AMI per-
manently cured, by the use of Smiths Ton
ic Syrup. 1t purges of tho vitiatel bile,
corrects the secretions of the Liver and 9TH
er internal organs, strengthens the shattered
nerves, and finally restores the paid cheek
to the rosy bloom of youth.
The public should beware of the many spu-
rious preparations of similar name, AMI rec
ollact that Smiths Tonic Syrup can alone BE-
relied upon for cure.
