DisOrganizers at Bay,

The ultraists and impracticables of both sec
tons of the Union 1--WE mean the north and south,
of course,) arc dissatisfied with the adjustment
bills which have been just passed into laws No
wonder; thirty favorite themes can no longer
draw an audience. The fanatical abolitonist
may now pirate about philanthropy, and draw vi
vid pictures of horror to excite sympathy in her
holy cause. The chivalric knight of the cotton
field and tobacco plantation may shake his hoe
and stride his steed in defense of tine-spun alb
stractons and niggers, as niggsrs, but neither
the bawling of the one, nor the Quixotic mani
festations of the other any longer disturb the
we'll disposed people Of the Union from their
propriety.
The food Of agitators is all eaten up, and if
they live any longer, they must live upon the
putrid excrescenses ofthc past, and not upon the
healthy product of the future

preserved and respected. In the former the
Monarch was all and was but one in the latter the
people were all and acted one, but no sooner
did each one part with portion of what it re-
garded as its rights no sooner did the Monarch
Yield portion of his privileges and prerogative
and the people portion Of their rights by allow
ing nobility to be created, than separate and
distinct political interests became the conse-
quencc and was finally regarded as an important
right in the mobiles to be noble, and an important
doom of the plebian, to be plebian. Then fol-
lowed the necessity of having taco branches of
Legislation, for, would noble submit to the leg
islation of a pleban' Oh no; sucha thing could
not be thought Of and as a kind of concession for
the privileges of being noble, the pebian class
was allowed a separate Assembly of its own to
represent its wishes.
Thus has originated the existence of two
branches oflegislation. 1t arose we have al
ready proved from causes which have no exis-
tence here, and was useful only in proportion to
the existence of these causes. Why it should
remain unsustained by its original and only
cause is only the effect of habit and not of ne
cessity.

The prise Song.

The following is the song selected by Bar.
num- s committee, to be sung by Jenny Lind at
her opening concerts, and for which a prise OF
two hundred dollars was paid
1t is about as stiff and unmusical n composition
as it has been our lot to peruse tor many day
1t is entirely too majestic, too calculating for
such theme and time, and is as lily adapted to
the cheerful notes of heartfelt welcome as words
could be. Whether the judgment Of the COM
mittee has been weak or partial Gor Bayard Tay-
lor is great many or whether the other songs
presented had less claims to favor we cannot tell,
but one thing is certain, the following song could
be no where else sold for two hundred dollars

1--WE would ask the attention of the farmers
and mechanics of Iowa to this view of the ques
ton" says the Wing 81 Register; SO would we
We want them to bear in mind that their pres.
ent currency is admitted by its opponents to be
twice more valuable because twice more effect
i've than any other for the purposes intended
We want them to bear it we'll in mind that it re-
quires but half as much of the present currency
to supply mans wants and necessities, as twice
as much of that contended for by its opponents.
We want it to be still more deeply impressed
upon their minds that with the present currency
a poor man can do as much with his dollar, as
can rich man, which we have shown would
not be the case under Banks and Banking.
Now, if under the present system man can
buy twice as much personal property Nhis is the
language of the Wing & Register,) with one
dollar as he could before Banking was abolish
ed with two, has not the community gained by
its abolition? Why certainly, every one an
swers yes, every one knows this to be the case.
No, not every one, that is a mistake The
Bankers have not gaincd-the would be Bank
ers have not gained, nor have Wing principles
gained any thing-they are under the new order
of things, proved to have been cheat; they are
proved to have been based upon false calcula-
tons of Political Economy.
These principles placed man in false, artifi-
cial, unnatural position-did not leave him where
his necessities based upon his natural and legit-
innate wants would leave him, but on the con-
trary created for him wants which he should not
experience; appetites which should not be fed;
desires which should not be gratlticd.
This is what Wing principles have done for
US, this is what Wing teachers are now trying
to make us learn, trying to make us believe that
a dollar promised is as good dollar paid
that while under specie system, one dollar pur
ehases as much as two dollars under the paper
system, yet that the latter is best for all. Can
the people of Iowa learn to believe such nom
sense? They havn't yet.

Our city readers have had sufficient opportu-
nifty afforded them of Judging of the importance
and feasibility of having Harbor co-extensve
with the whole eastern front of the city The
report which embodies this information is the re-
suit of a careful, labo.ous, and we think COM
plete investigation and survey Of the whole
ground, and must settle the question as to the
kind of Harbor we want, and the manner in
which it must be constructed. We think the
question is now narrowed down to single point
tho means alone are Wanting-and how shall
the 500 600 be raised. This is the only aues-
ton now. If Congress will not give it, what
then? Will the people submit to all the disad-
vantagcs resulting from the want of this great
improvement, or will they raise on the credit OF
the city this pal:ry sum, and secure to themselves
and their postcrtory the blessings of health, the
advantages of an uninterrupted commerce, and
the name of having done something for the pub
lie good2
| Never before has there been such unanimitv
on this subject. The recommendations of the
committee have been unanimously approved
No one has thong int of better plan than the one
they recommend and it is due to them to say,
that they have done service to the CITY, which
will cause after generations to rank them among
the early bcnefactors of Dubuque. In this con-
nection we dislike making invidious distinctions,
but we cannot withhold our little need of praise
and appreciation from the gentleman who made
the report, and to whose characteristic accuracy
we are indebted for the estimates Of construction,
which every one who knows him will rely on
impctly-we allude to Mr.. Wilse To the
gentlemen composing in part the City Council,
on whose motion this investigation was made,
the public are deeply indebted We trust that
all the labor Of the committee and Council will
not have been in vain; indeed VIC anticipate
far more desirable result the effect Of so much
well-applied labor.

At last-at last-the national position of the
indomtabe CAss, after long and arduous strug-
gle of many months, has been made the basis on
which the last struggles of Abolitionism have
xpired and left the Union in harmony, peace,
and iubilation. Not all the casustry of Seward
all the cunning tactics of Hale, all the bullying
eloquence and personal popularity of Benton,
all the fiery enthusiasm of Giddings, backed by
Wilmotism, Wentworthism, and hosts of lesser
| lights, but equally mischievous men,--not all
these combined, have been able to defeat the
popular will, or thwart the patriotic purpose OF
those who remained faithful to their representa-
tive trust.
THE UNION is sAvED.-Thank God above
all, and next to HIM those noble works of his
hands, whose integrity put bounds to their am
bltion, whose love of country and Of man left
no special regard for self except that which
would flow from division of mutual benefits
SELF, SELr-the distinction of ones self, the
gloritication of ones self, has been the banc
of government. For this have Kings led their
armies to fields of slaughter;-for this have men
become avaricious;-for this thing, self, are most
men ever contending;-for this has an agitation
been kept up in the present and preceding ses-
sion of Congress, which, were it not for the pro-
violence of God-and the love the people bear
the Union--this fair fabric Of government would
long since have been torn limb from limb.
But the storm has passed-the violent hurri-
cane has already subsidized to gentle breeze,
which blows so fair, that the haven of rest is in
full view. The mutnous men who refused to
labor for the whole and common good will soon
be put ashore to answer to the country for their
errors and their crimes.
THE UNION ENTHUSIASTICALLY saved
saved without infringing any ones rights; saw
ed without making invidious distinctions be-
tween the States of the Union;-saved despite
of frantic Aboltionism-saved in the face of
threatened dissolution from the South saved
despite the violated oaths, the blackened honor,
and blighting influence of men whom the people
honored, and trusted, and almost deiied; of men
who stabbed the breast that gave them suck
The day will come, when their dark deeds
shall be remembered; when themselves and their
abettors shall be consigned to the same grave of
political infamy.
