PHoBABLE MERDER or b. R. HARDfS-It
viii be recollected that Mr.. B r. Hardin, son of
Ben Hardin, Of Ky. disappeared rather suddenly
from Panama shortly after he had received there
the revocation OF his appointment Of Secretary of
Legation 10 Chill. The Panama Star says
" On Friday last, as party Of gentlemen were
ascending the mountain in the rear Of the city,
about midway up they discovered the remains of
human being Though there is now no part Of
that human frame left but the bare bones there
s sufficient evidence to render almost certain the
deduction that they are thoge Of the unfortunate
Hardin. These evidences consist of letter
found in one Of the pocketa dated Havana, De.
cember, le49 addressed to Hon. Ben. Hardin.
Bardstown, Ky. commencing my dear father"
and ending with Your affectionate son, Rowan"
Beside this there was a silk handkerchief, two
keys, knife and part of a silk purse. From the
appearance OF the ground there is come suspicion
that ne was murdered"

they deem it expedent, I" give expression to their
ut to the UEiun, and their u"aitrratie de-
termination to sustain all 10" passed inpufsuaEee
Of the constitution.
Resoired, That il is highly proper and exredent
at thi, particular time, when the whole country
cnnyused with agitation and excitement, and when
dis,,uion is openly avowed and proc laimed both
North and SOUTH for the young men of all sections
of the country to assemble together and mutually
and solemnly pledge themselves to maintain and
fend the constitution and the laws at all times and
! at all hazards.
| Res,Ired That by so assembling together and
there pleaginy themselves, they assist in strength
ening the bonds of the Union, and show to the
Country and to each other that they now when
domestic strife and animosity threaten to subvert
| our g orious Union. where our fhheis were when

lily to pass laws not only in accordance with the

greatest ,ihle goad to Iowa from the grant.
Irereat it, let all these he doae before th's L.
rislature adj ourns- otherwise we shall be deprlV-
ell of the benefit OF this donation until the hext
session Of the Assembly, period Of two years,
ami that too, by the neglect ofthe Executive hrA''
and own last.
Let us look at some Of the consequences OF that
neglect. During that two years, thousands of a
cres OF government lands, really :swei,' &c, but
not so reported will he purcha sed with land war
! rants, and re- sold, perhaps. Then questions will
arise of whether the state (havng neglected to re-
port these lands swet' in due time)is enitledto
the lands, or the purchaser. And II the state be
entitled, shall the sale Ivy warrant be Sc: aside O!
shall the state receive the proceeds OF saie' II SO,
how shall it be done? The lands being purchased
by warrants, and money paid, sh Ill the state be
reimbursed at the rate Of 81 IS per acre, or at an
assumed value for warrants? 1t is plain that if
we are guilty of neglect now. much of the benefit
Of this act will be lost by vexatous proractcd leg
| islatiun.
Again, this grant if properly and sensonab!y i'm
PROV ed, is valuable, rot only in retaining vast
todies of fertile land but in converting those very
lands now the fruitful sources ofdisease and death
| into regions Of health. There has been vast deal
! of zeal, labor, and wind expended in Iowa ON the
subject Of railroads ,anh in memoriazing Congress
for grants of land to build them. Railroads, too,
which in my opinion will never be built. under the
present constitution Of Iowa. Not that am OPP
pnsei tn roro ,dS-far from it; but that agree in
opinion with Governor Hampstead, when he says
speaking Of our state consttu,ion-s.By the pro-
hibition OF banking and Of special acts of incorpo
ration, except for political and lpurpuses,'
our constitution is opposed to railroads. would
| now ask while we are so Jealous TO crave grants
ofland from Congress-granfs TO be made, for rail-
roads ntper to be completed under our present
aitution-iC it would not be wise in to take i'm
mediate steps to secure the benefits of this gener.
Gus grant, already made. For we should remem.
Der that t. secure to Iowa the full measure Of the
grant, to the fullest extent, we must act now.
