INDIANS ABour.-We are informed that about
300 Musquakie and Winnebago Indians are So
iourning on the Cedar River, in Benton and
Black Hawk Counties. They have become We
~ troublesome to the settlers, who are anxious
and determined that something should be done
to rid them of this nuisance.
One would think, from the Commissioner 8
letter, which we published week or two since,
that the Winnebago country possessed such
charms to the Indian, that he would not be dis
posed to leave it to seek more precarious sub
s'stance by trespass upon his white neighbor.
But such is not the case. The Commissioner
has been led into errer. The Winnebagoes are
starved out, and unless something be done for
them, they must steal or die.
But the government have guaranteed them a
subsistence. They have taken their magnificent
country from them, and drircn them into the
frozen swamps of the North and left them to
the tender mercies of the Whskey seller.
But they also stand pledged to the white
settler, to guard him from the intrusions of these
wretchcd beings. Let them attend to it. Where
is Gen. Fletcher?

MANIFESTO OF THE CALIFORNIA REPREsEN-
rArlvEs-lt will be seen by the Congressional
proceedings of yesterday, says the Baltimore
Sun of the 14th, that the United States Senators
and Representatives elect, fiom California, have
addressed long document to Congress, COM
nunicating copies of the State constitution, their
credentials, and formal request for admission
into the Union. They express the establishment
and regret with which they have cleaned the
existence Of organised, respectable, and talen-
ted opposition to the admission of the new State,
and enter at length into history of the territory,
the organization of State, the population, and
other matters pertaining to the subject. The
address is a clear and forcible statement Of the
grounds upon which California presents her ap-
plication for admission into this Union. Accord
ing to its statements, California now contains
l07 900 inhabitants, nearly double the amount
necessary to secure her admission into the Union.
Of these 5000 are American emigrants, the re-
mainder being Californians and foreigners
The address is manly in tone and sentiment, and
concludes as follows: ~- ."s-
"This people request admission into the Am
crican Union as State. They understand and
estimate the advantages which will accrue to
them from such connection, while they trust
they do not too highly compute those which
will be conferred upon their brethren. They do
not present themselves as suppliants, nor do they
bear themselves with arrogance or presumption
They come as free American citzcns-c citizens
by treaty, by adoption and by birtl,-and ask
that they may be permitted to reap the common
benefits, share the common ills, and promote the
common welfare, as one of the United States Of
America" WILLIAM M. GwIN,

Victory II.--The Elec ton.

The election is Over, the returns are before US,
and in announcing the triumph four candidates,
we but proclaim the devotion of the people to
Democratic principles. This election was con-
tested on party grounds, and the defeat of our
opponents shows conclusively, that Dubuque
city and Julien precinct are true to the political
faith which has made the names of Jefferson and
Jackson, immortal and household words. We
have but one regret in announcing the result of
this election, one of our regularly nominated
candidates, J. J. E. Norman, has been made
victim: we will not say to what; we need not
say by whom. 1t is enough, and too much to
know, that he was defeated by his own party,
unfairly and ungenerously.
We give the vote in detail; it is unusually
small. This was partly owing to the lowering
aspect of the weather which frowned, as if in
anger upon the exciting scene below.

Ancient Dexteritv.

One of the early kings of Egypt being desi-
rous to secure riches, commanded treasure
house to be built, but the architect, intending to
have some share of the treasure, instead of fin
ishing the building completely, placed one Of
the stones in so artful manner that it could be
prevented by death from accomplishing his de-
sign, on his death bed he gave full instructions
to his sons how to execute it. After they had
for some time plundered the treasury, and car
ried off large sums, the king who observed the
gradual diminution of his wealth, without being
able to discover how the thieves had access to
it, finding his seal upon the door always whole,
ordered several strong straps to be left in the
treasury.-By this means one Of the brothers
at last taken but finding it impossible to es-
cape, he pressed his brother to cut off his head
and retire with it to prevent discovery The
next morning, examining the success of his pro-
ject, upon finding man without head in the
snare, fastened out in the greatest alarm and
confusion; he ordered the body to be exposed on
the out side Of the wall to the public view, charg
ing the guards placed around it to observe the
countenances of the Spectators, and to seize
those who appeared sorrowful. The surviving
brother, urged by his mothers entreaties and
threats of exposure, formed the design of carry
ing ffhis brothers body. Accordingly, driving
his asses thither laden with skins of wine, he
louHu IHcdS ny tHe SLrdLd9eIl OF lettln1 his wine
run out to intoxicate and stupefy the guards
When they were in deep sleep, he shaved the
right check of each of them, by way of derision,
and in the night, carried off the body on one of
the asses.
This action still more astonshed the king, who
being now more earnest to discover the the thief,
ordered his daughter to receive the addresses Of
all sultors promiscuously, on condition that all
should previously confess to her the most lnge
NOUS act he had ever managed, and the great
est crime he had ever committed The younp
man resolving again to perplex the king, went to
the palace of his daughter, and confessed to her
that he had cut off his brothers head and after
wards carried off his body. She then attempt
ed to lay hold of him, he stretched out to her
the arm of a dead man, which he carried under
his cloak, (suspectng the intention of the king,)
and while she supposed she had the culprit, he
made his escape The kings resentment being
now converted into admiration, he promised
pardon and rewards to the person who had rob-
bed his treasury, if he would discover himself
The young man, upon this proclamation, imme
diately made himself known, and the king there
upon, accounting him far superior in dexterity
to any man then living, gave him his daughter
in marriage.

The Loan.

The people have given their voice against a
loan ~ the Improvement of the harbor of the
town; and the consequence will be, that what
few boats may condescend to bring freight to
Dubuque, must make their way through s.Bar-
ney's cut, as best they can, until the next
generation shall provide better way. The
question has been decided for the preset, tho,
III way unsatisfactory, as we believe, to many
who voted against it.
The eloquence of some halfa dozen lawyers
was brought TO bear upon the subject, and no
doubt had it's effect in producing the decision.
We do not so much wonder at their OPPOSE
ton. but we do feel astonished that the mer-
chants, the mechanics, the laborers and all
whose interests are identified with, and are di.
rsctly influenced BY the general prosperity Of
fhc place Of their residence, should have cast
theis vote against measure 80 well calculated
