From the Detroit Fra
Dem ..

Democracy is a glorious word: there are very
few in the wide world that will compare with it.
1T is the darling of the poor man, for he knows
that by it he is raised from the pit in which his
oppressors would leave him, and enabled to turn
his face heavenward, and bless God that he is q
free man.-Democracy knows no distinction be-
tween man and man; it places every one on tine
broad platform of equality. If one says to
another, 81 am thy SUPERIOR this heaven born
Democracy asks the question, show is it, and if
it is not in superiority of virtue and intellect, it
pronounces the arrogant one of the worst as he
is swelled up with disgusting pride. Democra-
cy teaches that no man is his fellows superior,
except he exceIs in virtue and intellect; even
then he is entitled to no political privileges that
others are deprived Of
The scale which Democracy holds in her
hands will not preponderate hairs breadth the
more in favor of the rich than it does for the
poor, Of the high than the low Like the
bright, pure sun, it would shed its rays on all
alike. Itteaches with the books that we are all
formed on the same clay-the same breath was
brcathed into us all. The poor man should
cherish Democracy-it is to him tower of
strength when all else fails-he should cling to
those who adhere to its principles, they are his
only friends.
We will say of this priceless jewel, thou art
ours and are thine-if we forget thee, may
our right hand forget her cunning-if we cease
to speak we'll of thee, may our tongue clcave to
the roof of our mouth.

The low. Annual Conference

Of the M. E. Church closed its sttings in this
town, on Monday evening last, having tran sact-
ed its business in FIVE days.
The Conference was truly respectable in ap-
pearance, and it was evident to every one that it
embraced as much of talent as any body which
has ever convened within the State.
The frequent of. hand speeches and remarks
of its members upon questions necessarily arls-
ing, the reports of the committees, we'll written
and carefully digested, evinced thought, argu-
ment, and all those requisites which constitute
a high order of talent. Its harmonious action,
the oneness and unity of feeling and spirit which
pervaded its members, particularly upon the
subject of secret societies, struck every one as
highly commendable.
The meetings were of interest to all, whether
Unidentified with the church or otherwise, and at
forded to many hitherto ignorant of their mode
of doing business, information highly lnstruc-
tive.
Whether we look at the members OF this Con
ference in an associated capacity or individual
ly, we must award to them ability, talent and in
dustry of no inferior order. Socially, they are
''hale fellows we'll met" companonable, socla-
Bile, intelligent and communicative in an emf
nent degree over any class of men we have ever
met; and an evidence ofthe reciprocal feel
ing existing between our people and the mem
bers of the association, it is only necessary to
say that they all join in wishing Conference
would sit here every year.

The REFINEMENT OF CRUELTY-Kinkel, the
poetical professor of law at Bonn, who was tried,
six or eight months ago, for participating in the
Baden instruction, and sentenced to imp,ison-
ment for life, is removed every three months from
one prison to another. These repeated removals
of the unfortunate poet have their origin in
species of refined cruelty which seems incredi-
BILE. They are intended solely to prevent him
from having any communication with his friends
for an old law EXISTS, which prescribes that no
prisoner shall be permitted to see visitors until
he shall have been three months in prison. His
hard case excites much commiseration, not only
in Prussia, but IN countries where his poetry has
made him known. .gst ts' :5J

Wheat and Flour.

In no city or town in the United Statea, so ta1
as our observation extends, has there been fol-
the past year greater disproportion between
the prices Of wheat and flour than in Dubuque
This effect is, like all other effects the result OF
a cause. What that cause is, many have con-
iectured, and some have arrived at the truth.
We will frankly say our say upon this sub
ject. If the price Of the raw material can ever
be ascertained it is very easy to calculate what
would be a fair price for the manufactured art
Gle, or, if the price of flour be the criterion of
value, it is equally easy to determine what sho'd
be the price of wheat. Why their relative val
ue should be so disproportonate is not the result
of any law of political economy, but is rather the
result of mistaken policy on the part of our
sellers and buyers. This is the whole secret
The producers and consumers know it all, and
mean to profit by their knowledge.
This policy has driven an immense trade from
this town, which, by all other considerations
would naturally seek market here. Last sea-
son the Bellevue, Davenport and Muscatine
mills drew off large proportion of the wheat of
this upper country, just because the proprietors
of these establishments paid better price for
grain than could be got here.
And now that the season is again opening,
shall this suicidal policy be continued We ask
this in sincere earnestness.
Below will be found the prices of wheat and
flour at other towns in Iowa and the neighbour
inc States

The ADVANTAGE OF WRITING IN AMBIGUOUS
LANGUAGE.--TheN N. Y. Post relates good
one' of JACOB BARKER, the Quaker, who hear
ing of the loss of one of his vessels which he had
omitted to get insured, wrote to broker with
whom he hal spoken on the subject as follows:
"Dear Friend
elf thee has not filled up the policy which
bespoke on Saturday, thee need not, as have
heard from the vessel
The broker in fact had not filled up the poll
cy, but prcsuming from the tenor of Jacob s
note that his vessel was safe, and tempted by
what seemed a good chance to clutch his per
centage without risk, he filled itup forthwith
and sent it to Jacob with the assurance that it
had been made all ready for him on Saturday,
On Monday morning the first thing that met his
eyes on opening his newspaper, was the loss of
Jacobs vessel, which he had so wickedly nsur-
ed on Sunday. Then also he discovered the
cunning ambiguity of jacobs note-"he had
heard from the vessel!' of

Lincoln Clarke.

We clip the following notice of our distin-
guished friend from the NJ Y. Globe high
toned, reliable Democratic paper published in
New York. 1t will seem from it, that Judge
Clarke is known abroad as we'll as at home as an
efficient champion of Democratic doctrines, and
as an industrious and able lawyer. The Globe
is mistaken as to the place of his nativity. Judge
Clarke is a native of Massachusetts, and not of
Georgia. Here is what the Globe says.
Lincoln Clarke, cfIowa.
The Dubuqne Express says that Lincoln
Clarke is elected to Congress by more than 900
majority, double the usual Democratic ma jority
Mr.. Clarke is gentleman of fine talents and
education, and will take high rank in the ma
tional Legislature among the ablest men of the
day. The election of Judge Clarke is an evi.
dence of the liberality and sagacity of the Dem.
ocracy of Iowa. Within not more than five OF
six years, Judge Clarke removed from the State
of Alabama with his family, and took up his re.
sidenec- on the Upper Mississippi, at DubuaEf
Approaching his merits, the Democratic putty
at once gave him their confidence. He was Sc
lected in February, 1s45, as one of the Presi-
dental Electors, and took the field for Cass and
Butler, addressing the people in almost every
county with distinguished success. Judge c. is
a native of Georgia, about so years of age-has
a vigorous constitution, is indetatgably indus
trious, an able lawyer, an eloquent speaker and
a sound Democrat. His election shows that no
sectional narrow pref JUDGES operate on the minds
of the citizens of his adopted State; for the dis
trict in which he resides, being the Northern
Congressional District is almost exclusively set
tied by northern emlgrants.

from accepting of any office during the term fol
which they may have been elected. All such
appointments and votes given for such persons,
are declared to be null and void. And no mem.
Der of the Legislature shall be allowed to be in.
terested in any contract with the State, which
may be authorized by law during Legislative
membership. .-....,
In cases of contested elections, that person
only who shall be declared entitled to the con.
tested seat, shall be entitled to pay and mileage.
This will cut off much Legislative litigation be-
tween contestants for seats and leave members
to the peaceful discharge of their duties.
The Legislature is prevented from establish.
ing State paper, but provision is made for the
publication of the laws in all the papers of the
State who shall comply with the conditions
This section takes away much of the motive
which newspapers may have for siding with par.
ties, and neutralizes fruitful source of unneces.
sary and improbable contention.
The Legislature shall pass no act authorizing
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. The incorpo.
ration Of this clause into the fundamental law
is to say the least of it, of doubtful propriety II
cannot prevent the sale of such commodities.
neither does it in any manner restrain it, altho
it evidently must have been the intention of the
Convention to have done both.
We have now pointed out the powers and pri-
vileges conferred by this Constitution upon the
Legislature as body, and upon its individual
members, in such points in which these powers
are either enlarged, abridged, or more specific
ally defined, and in which they differ tom the
powers conferred by the Constitution of other
States We have not spoken of the usual pow
ers given, or restrictions imposedby all our State
Constitutions, neither have we entered into mi
mute details of minor import, but we have done
what we intended. Our object has been to shew
in what this new Constitution differed from those
of the sister States.
The powers given to the Legislature are am
pie for the proper and faithful discharge of Le-
gisative functions; and the restrictions imposed
were as necessary as they must be effective in
guarding against hasty and improper Legisla-
ton, and in preventing the INSCRIPTIONS men,
Der from deriving greater pecuniary benefits from
his position than his conscientious colleague.
We shall present other leading measures Of
this Constitution in our next number.

Irish CircumIOcution.

If the rsh are to be distinguished as con-
vivial and q musical, they must also be noted as
a crcumlocutory people. Observing one day
unusual commotion in the streets of Derry.
inquired of bystander the reason; and he,
with mellihuous brogue, replied in the follow
ing metaphorical manner:
''The rason, sir! Why you see that the JUS
tice, and little Larry O. Hone, the carpenter have
been putting up picture frame at the end Of
the straite yonder, and they are going to hang
one Of adams copies in it,
"What's that?''
"Why, poor Murdoc ODonnel"
"Oh, there's man to be hung?''
"Do they put up gallows for any other pur.
pose ?"
"What's his offence ?"
''No offence, your honor, it was only liber-
ty he took
"Well what was the liberty?"
s'Why, you see, sir, poor Murdoc was in DEL
icate health, and his physician advised that he
should take exercise on horseback; and so, hav
ing no horse of his own, he borrowed one of
Squire Doyle's paddock: and no sooner was he
on its shoulders than the ID put it into the era
chers head to 60 over to Kellowgreen cattle
fair, where he had good many acq uantances
and when he was got there, Murdoc spied a friend
at the door of the Shebeen house, and left the
animal grazing outside, whilst he went IN to
have one thimbletul of whiskey; and then, YOU
see, they got frisky; and had another, and ano-
Their, till poor Murdoc went to sleep on the
binch; and when he woke up, he found the era
cher gone, and his pocket stuffed full with big
lump Of money
"ln short, says l, ''you mean to say he has
been horse stealing.
"Why, sir, he replied, stammering g. scratch
ing his head, they call it so in England"

FIRST Town IN AMER1cA--The National
lntelligencer relates the following curious facts
which will be news to many of our readers:
cit will seem curious to those who are not
aware of the fact, that the first towns built by
the Europeans upon the American Continent
were St. Augustine, in Fast Florida, and Santa
Fe, the capital of New Mexico. The Rive,
ella was explored before the Mississippi was
known, and gold was sought in California long
ere the first white man had endeavored to find a
home on the shores ofN England. There arc
doubtless trees standing within the fallen build
ings of ancient Panama, that had commenced
to grow when the cities of N. York g. Boston
were covered with the primeval Wilderness"

A few years ago, the Independent Treasury
was horrible Monster. 1t had at least seven
heads and eleven horns-and the number of it's
hoofs-God only knows 1t was to trample
down, according to wing logic, every interest in
the land. The bankers would be compelled 'sto
close DOORS and the manufactures, "to shut up
shop Ruin and bankruptcy, would be the inc
vltable fate of the merchants and farmers. Re-
CARELESS of these evil and dsinterested prophe
sizes, the Democracy passed the bill into law,
and what has been its practical operation? 1t has
worked SO admirably and SO eminently satisfac-
tory to the whole country, that none of it's former
adversarles are bold enough to rise in Congress
and propose its repeal Even the Galphins can
not muster up courage sufficient, to renew their
old attack upon it. There it stands a proud
monument of the wisdom of Democratic policy,
and there it will tand.-TFree Press.

The Democratic Argus.

We have received several numbers ofths new
caily, recently started in the City of Chicago
and take great pleasure in recommending it tc
such of our business men and citizens generally
as may desire more intimate relationship with
the City of the Lakes.
The Argus is a thorough going Democratic
paper, and we doubt not will do good service in
the maintenance of the doctrines of the Balti-
more platform.
The following letter from one of our own citi-
zens, taken from a recent number of the Argus,
expresses our idea of the favor with which the
paper should be looked upon by the citizens of
Dubuque, both as regards their political and bust
ness relations.
The paper is furnished daily at three dollars a
year. ---~-.
-..--- DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. II, 1850.
S. D. MACDONALD e. Co.. Gents:--1 am
glad to see that you have started Daily paper
on the true Democratic platform. Our interests
are so much identified with those of your city,
that in the event of your starting Tri-Weekly
or Weekly, | would hope that you would get a
list of subscribers from here, for generally, and
in the summer season, paper from
Chicago, would be us good to us, as one printed
in Gaena.
You are already aware that Iowa has elected
her whole Democratic ticket by the Target ma
jority ever given. Wings will not number one
sixth Of the members composing the next Gen
eral Assembly. All this we attribute to our firm
adherence to the Baltimore platform. We have
never allowed third party to distract our organi-
zation
Please let US have peep at the Argus, to see
what it looks like, and oblige

You never catch any of the long queues in any
ofthe haunts of dissipation, and per consequence,
none of them on the police books! They are
generally pretty good mechanics; some of them
keep restaurants, and few trade in nick knacks

market, large quantity was brought from Chi

Sufficient

Full returns not yet received Sufficient
however have come to hand to confirm our last
weeks report that there were four Wings, and
one Benton Democrat elected to Congress.
The Wings have plurality, but not MAORI

will be no Senator chosen in Benton's place for
at least two years.
