The passage Of the Fugitive Slave Bill is Gre
atng considerable needless alarm among the
free, blacks throughout the Union. We notice
in the last Chicago Journal, that quite large
meeting Of the colored population Of that place
has been held to take into consideration their
rights. A preamble and resolutions were adopt
ed in which they very mildly, though positively
declaim against the recent action Of Congress,
and declare that since they must abandon the
hope Of any protection from government, there is
no other alternative left them but resort to self
projection.

DAVENPORT & Council BLurF RArLRoAD.-Con-
gress has adjourned without passing the bill pro-
viding for the disposal Of certain lands-between
Davenport and Council Bluffs, to aid in the con-
struclion OF Railroad connecting those places
The presence Of one, active representative q
Washington City, We all feel, would have secu'
red to US, that desired object. But We have nc
one there TO represent this portion OF Iowa; the
Representatives in Congress are chosen fr' m the
north and from the south. and are too much IN
,erested in the advancement Of those portions Of
our State to concern themselves deeply for GEN.
trai Iowa. The feeling is natural and they are
perhaps less to blame than those persons who al.
lowing love Of party TO overbalance the love fo'
their own interests, continue to vote for northern
men to represent central Iowa in Congress. We
never can hope for our interests TO be properly
represented in Congress until We send man
thithcr from this portion Of our State.

WELCOME AS FLOWERS IN MAY.


- AT days declining, maid sat twining
io A garland shining with wild flowers gay
But her heart it was sore, and tho tears swell
ed o'er
Her eye, at the door, on that eve in May.
"And take" she cried, to her young hearts
pride,
"From your plighted BRIDE on this holy day,
A true love token of fond vows spoken
That may not be brokcn-these flowers of
May.
In life and in death. if you hold to your faith,
Keep ever this wreath twill be sweet in
decay;
Come poor or with wealth, come in sickness or
health,
To my heart you'll be welcome as flowers
in May.
yet, OH if ever when wide seas sever
Our hearts, you waver in faith to me,
A true Irish maid will never upbraid
Affection betrayed-from that hour you're
freel
II set small store upon golden ore,
I'll not love you the more from your wealth
from the sea;
The hand that will toll at our own loved soil,
Free from crime on from spoil, is the hand
for me!
The blessing half spoken, her fast tears choke
And strong sobs broke the young mans
pray'r
One blending ofhearts and the youth departs
The maid wecps alone in the silent air
Full many score that maid countcdo'e
OF ay-dawns and night-falls-a year to
day;
When, sadly once moro, at the seat by the
door,
Stood the youth rs before, On that eve in
May.
For the love of that maid wherever he strayed,
Kept his soulfrom stain, and his hand from
guilt;
Like an angel from God, till his feet rctrod
The cherished sod where his first love dwclt.
III bring you no store of the bright gold ore,
But, poor as before, | return to day.
For my bride I've no wealth but broken health,
Hopes withered and dead as the flowers of
May"
The maiden has prcst her true love to her
breast,
Her joyful haste no doubts delay;
In his arms she sighs otis yoursclfI prize,
To my heart yon are welcome rs flowers in
May!

obedience. Next night the crowd was
at work as usual, and Billy thought he
would go down and see how things went
on, Accordingly, down he went and
knocked at the door.
"Who's there?" cried Nemiah
"Its me, Mr.. -, open the door"
"No, Billy told me never to let any
one in after o'clock, and 1 amt going
to do it,"
"But Nemiah, it's me, open the door
one moment"
"No, none of your CANNON; you sound
nightly like him but it won't go down,
so travel, or dod rot your head if / don't
give you shot with this blunderbuss,
you old humbug
"Billy waited to hear no more, but
started off like the wink, confident that
Nemiah was a reformed man, and the
next day doubled his salary!
