The present political struggle in this old Commonwc ah
is one OF more than ordinary interest, and it involves
the question OF a constitutional convention with other
issues entering more or less into the coming presidential
election il will without, doubt call out the entire strength
of the conesting parties, and afford definite idea
10 the position the State will occupy when called upon
for her electoral vote For several years past only about
twohirds OF the people entitled to vote have exercised
that rig hi, and upon the action action OF this
ber-which exceeds sixty thousand in a-will depend
the political complexion OF the State. The se1et-baio
iar passed at the last session Of the legislature, will
have tendency, my opinion, TO bring out these hereto
fore missing voters; for fear than any other cause
has operated to deter them from expressing their prefer
ences which cause is obviated and the result will
be- if may be allowed TO predict increase upon the
aggregate vote of several thousands, while the wing vote
will be materially diminished.
In the counties OF Norfolk, Hampton, Plymouth. and
Essex where coalitions have been formed last year.
the national or Union democrats indignant, and Justly
refuse support the nominations; and meetings
being called 10 bring into the field third ticket bearing
the names OF such only consistent, thorough demo-
Gratis Other counties will, am confident, follow; and
Il the result should end in why triumph, most likely
and this regard better than temporary victory. One
thing is absolutely certain that in 1859 Massachusetts
will be the theatre OF OF the hardest political battles
fought in this any other State, and the democrats
ii mistake not, WILL that contest commences, be re-
united, and ready to give harmonious support TO the

The number of emigranis who arrived at New York
during the month Of September amounted 10 33,GS6,
ceedng by 1872 the number that arrived during the pre-
ceding month. As is always the case, Ireland and Ger
many furnished the largest number OF these poor people,
who come to seek in America the living they cannot
gain in their country
or these emigrants, 1885 came from Ireland 2S7
from Germany 1850 from England, 1864 from Scotland
800 from France, 67S from Holland, 6l9 from Sweden
and Norway, 3s7 from Switzerland, and smaller numbers
from various other places

highly Important to Iowa-Recoxn,tion Of the Des
MOines River Grant.
We mentioned the arrival here some weeks ago, OF
General Van Antwerp, commissioner of public works OF
the State of Iowa. with the object OF endeayorng to pro-
final settlement Of the question to the extent OF
the congressional grant Of lands that State to aid in
improving the Des Mones river. The matter has al
length, learn, been settled by decision OF the Sec
rotary Of the Interior to recognise the claim of the State
to the lands above the "Raccooa Fork" OF the Des
Mones-instead OF limiting it from its mouth TO thai
pon-and ordering lists OF those lands be made out
for his approval This decision, as we learn, confirms
the action had upon the subject by Mr. Secretary Walker
and reveses the subsequent and contrary decision OF Mr.
Secretary Ewing.
This action TO the State a large additional
quantity lands applicable to the object above mentioned
and is fortunate for Iowa that the matter is thus finally
and iavorably se,ted- being of the first importance
to her people. 1t will, told enable the S,ate
beyond reasonable doubt to improve the Des Moines
river-which i, beautiful stream. and passes almost
centrally through the whole extent OF its erroryso as
to make nayigable for steamboats, of good class. for
distance OF over two hundred miles, into the very heart
Of the State The waerpower to be created too at the
locks and dams which are be bult-some thirty in num-
ber-w be Of great value as the works to be OF the
most substantial character and estimated to cost in the
aggregate not less than a million and half OF dollars
The whole work, understand. is already contracted
for, to be competedin four years.
This has been prosecuted with much energy and
perseverance by General Van Antwerp the
Of Iowa, who will now have the qualification of an
uouncng TO her people the favorable result of his i'm
poran mission.
