LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT.

A contemporary, writing On the subject OF the
with reference to our present attitude towards
Europe, holds the following incorrect doctrine,
viz: The existing government is presumed to
be legitimate until the contrary shaH be demon
strated dy its orerthro,c.
The absurdity of such doctrine is apparent
because it is the doctrine that might IS right
If '.ihe existing government is presumed tc
be legitimate until the contrary is demonstrated
by its overthrow" the deduction is, that all gov
ernmen.s that are ovcrthrown were not legiti
mate governments. Why were they not legii
mates Because the "con.rary has been demon
s.ratcd by their overthrow" Then any govern
ment that is sufficiently powerful to crush it.
weaker ncighbor, h,s the right to crush that
weaker neighbor, because in its overthrow, the
fact that it was not legitimate government is
demonstrated. If it be not legitimate gov
eminent, it has no right to existence and there
can be no harm in suppressing that which is il
legal. Our contemporary does not even limit the
right to overthrow to any particular sphere, but
LAYS down the doctrine on the broad ground OF
an orerihrom, without saying by what right,
o'hcr than that of superior force, which is left
as the only natsral inference Such doctrine
jastifcs the present enslaved condition of un-
happy Poland, which in her noble struggle for
liberty, fell q victim 10 the giant powers of the
Car OF Russia. 1t also iuslifies the condition
of the Irish nation, which has been writhng
under the yoke of British tyranny, since the sub
version of their own Parliament Because if
to overthrow government is, to prove it not lc-
gitimate, the power which overthrows is The le
ultimate power, and therefore has the right to
govern.
Such doctrine as that which is conveyed in
the language of our contemporary, leads US 10
the worst kind of radicalsm, socialism, red.rc-
publlcanism and all the other sms that seek the
subvcrsion Of the social system, the wreck of
and the humiliation of the christian
nlme.

scene AT THE CORPORATION DINNER OF
kossUTH, NEW YORK. On the toast of the
Press being given, six lond cheers were given;
amid loud cries for Raymond. He came for
ward to respond; As he was about cOmmen-
cling, Col. Webb rose and attempted to speak.
The scene at this time became one Of much ex-
element; loud cries for Rymond and Down,
Down. to Webb. Es.H.s
Both remained on the floor during the confu-
sion. One Of the Committee requested Mr..
Webb to be seated. Mr.. Raymond continued
and finished his speech. At the conclusion he
was loudly applauded.
Mr.. Webb then rose again and the confusion
was recommended. After some difficulty order
was restored.
Mr.. Webb continued for some time but was
finally compelled to sit down, being loudly
groaned and Kissed. He took his leave sny-
ing that he would write what be wished to say.
Rev. Mr. Bellows responded eloguenify 10 the.
toast to the clergy, as did also Mr.. Chaplin.

FIRE ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

About o'clock Sunday evening, on,
citizens were alarmed by the cry of fire and the
ringing of the Church bells.
The fire originated in the stable attached to
the premises of the widow Finn, and immedi
ately in the rear of the old tavern stand, known
as "Finn's Tavern" A man by the name o.
Mcdonnell has been apprchendcd, for setting
the building on fire and the proof before the
Justice was considered sufficient to hold Mr.
Mcdonnell to appear before the Distric. Court
1t is sincerely to be hoped, that he may be dealt
with severely when once his guilt is established
Nothing but insanity should excuse such an act
Through the prompt and efficient exertions
of our citizens, the fire was confined to the sta
BILE and out houses adjoining it. Had there
been strong North, or South wind blowing a,
the time, a large amount of property would in
all probability have been destroyed.
We cannot allow this occasion to pass, with
out again reminding our citizens of the great
importance and necessity, of an organization
and the necessary facilities for protecting prop
erty from the ravages of fire. Unless some
steps arc taken, for forming such an orranz,-
ton, our citizens may be made to suffer deeply
for their neglect and false economy. The ex-
pense of fire Engine and the necessary hose
for working it, would be extre mely light upon
each citizen, when distributed among the whole
and certainly no sane man will pretend, that
this improvement is not required by the strong
est appeals to public Judgment and individual
interest

No SECTIONAL PARrY.--The Rochester
American says: zone thing is CERTAIN and that
is, that 'the party which is to govern this coun-
try, under whatever name, cannot be a Sectional
party; " and adds:
1t will have creed and platform comprehen-
sive enough to embrace both ends Of the Union.
There must be room for citizens of the Slave
States, well for citizens of Free States
They must meet as friends and frllow- citizens,
and as brethren. On no other terms can pre-
vailing party be organized and maintained in the
United States. Parties may exist, large enough
for town, or county, or State purposes, on Sec
tional grounds They may even gain strength,
within such narrow limits, by intoxicating hostil-
ty and hate towards citizens of other quarters
of the Union. But never can any party acquire
national power, without adopting national
principles. Nor can citizens, wherever they
may dwell, discharge their duty to their country
and its Constitution unless they consent, cor
daily and honestly, to obey that Constitution,
and fulfil, in their true spirit, all the require
ments of that blessed bargain by which we are
one people

THE SUPPER AT THE CITY HOTEL

The entertainment given at the City Hotel,
on Thursday evening, by the ladies ofthe Meth
odist Episcopal Church, for the laudable purpose
Of raising means TO aid in furnishing the new
Church in course of erection on Main street,
was a most brilliant affair. Nothing could ex-
cell the taste with which the room and tables
were decorated and the attentions of the lady
managers and the gentlcmanly Host, Mr. Hew-
lit, except the avidity with which the immense
crowd attestcd their high appreciation of the
delicacies placed before them and the general
joy which pcrvaded the company.
The entertainment was highly creditablc TO
those who participated in getting it up and the
immense crowd which thronged the house gave
incontestable proof that the gentlemen of Dubu-
que, are not behind those of any CITY, IN freely
contributing their might, to the establishment
of houses of religious worship, and of high.
moral and religious tone in society
The profits realized from the supper we under
stand were some $40.

Bowen on THE CONSTITUTIONS. The las
keohmk Uh,g is rampant with lies and non
| sense in relation to certain loana which are
| proposed to be voted by the people of several
democratic counties in Iowa for railroad pur-
poses. Without being willing to admit whether
he is for or against such measures, Dr. Bowen
lampoons the democracy of the State, because
it has been advocated by democratic journals in
behalf Of works which will affect benefcally
the Localities of such journals. As might hav e
been expected, the veracity and oyic Of the
Doctor are both at fault. His assertion that sthe
locoloco party formed constitution for the
State which expressly prohibited the creation of
debts for internal Improvement purposes to an
unlimited amount, NAV be created, subject to
the approval ofthe people by ballot and precisely
the same principle that it is proposed to create
country debts. 1t is upon ihc strength Of this
lie that our pious contemporary affects to dscov-
er prodgous inconsistency in the position of,
his ''locofoco" brethren of the democratic press
whereas, if he had stuck to the truth, ne would
have discovered neither "gate' or sssaw mill"
in The matter
The truth about the matter is, the "Waig" is
utterly opposed to submitting the question of
taxation tn the people at all. Its instincts and
political ethics lead it to give preference TO the
old exploded plan of corrupt legislative log
rolling. That is what il prefers, and as have
seen above, it will not hesitate to falsfy the
statute book, and to insult the intelligence of
the people of Iowa. to bring about a resort to
its favorte plan Of saddling the people with
corrupt debt, through legislative hocus pocus,
without giving the people who pay it, anysay in
the matter. Doctor Bowen learns very slowly,
tor the opportunities he has had Capital Re-
