RELIGIOUS DEBATE.

The Theological discussion, between

good will. The friends of the respec.

Scientific American.

This paper. published by Mum &
CO., of New York, we consider as one
of the most valuable on our exchange
list. To inventors or mechanics it is
invaluable. II gives a list of all the
patents issued, and cuts representing the
most of them, besides large amount of
matter that should be read by everybody
We are surprised that men will spend
money for trashy eastern publications
when they can obtain paper that for
practical knowledge is worth every
Family paper published in New York.

THE "WEsTERN AMERICAN" is the
tile of new paper started on the ruins
of the JeLfsrsonian, al Keosauqua, by
Messrs. l.. ID. e. III. NORRIS. The pa
per viii compare favorably in point Of
mechanical execution and the amount
and quality of reading matter with any
paper in Iowa. From an intimate ac-
quaintance of many years with the pro-
prietors, we can speak with certainty,
and vouch that they will make it a
sprigh,ly and interesting sheet.
Brought Up as they have been, all
their lives in Printing Office, they are
well acquainted with the wants of the
people in the newspaper line, and cannot
fail to furnish them with an interesting
and ably edited paper.

From the Iowa Statesman.
Liquor Licenses in KeOkuk.

The City Council of Keokuk, on the
Both of June, few hours before the
new code went into operation, granted
licenses 10 two groceries for the term OF
ftco gears. Thus evading and making
a mockery of the law which was about
to come in force. The Keokuk Uhig
justly animadverts severely upon the
conduct Of the Council in this respect;
and adds: -
ave canno, but feel deep regret that
our City Council should be the first to
set the bold example of thwarting the
design and evading the spirit of the law
passed by our Legislature for the sup
preston Of grog shops. We know that
the example thus set by those in high
places will have great influence TO en-
courage private individuals TO treat this
law with disrespect, and must embolden
them in all their efforts 10 bring the law
into contempt that they may pursue their
deleterious traffic with IMMUNITY.
This attempt to exclude our city from
the operation Of general law of the
State designed TO conserve the best inter-
esis Of society must have an injurious
effect upon the reputation Of the place,
and make us a by-word of scorn a.
mongst the better disposed citizens of
our own as well as OF other States
They must believe, that if the City
Council be right in their impression that
the law cannot be enforced here. the pub
lie sentiment and the morals of our citi-
zens are worse than the average stand
ard through the State. We therefore
enter our protest against the conclusion,
believing that the Council acted under
false estimate Of public sentiment, or
were influenced by too greedy desire
for the revenue to be derived to the city
by defeating the operation Of the law of
the State. 90
II would seem from their granting the
licenses for taco gears, and no longer,
that they expect the next Legislature TO
repeal the law, as they might as well, if
they had not thought SO, given them per-
mission to sellninety-niae gears There
can be no bounds set TO such s.subterfu-
ges,'' @ Ed 8

ticle which we copy from the Dubuque

the Miners Express, defending the Sur
yeyor General from the ilIiberal and I'M
just charges made against him by the
Ledger and the Locofocolpaper at Du-
buque. $3.50 god0
The editor Of the Herald, living as he
does in the immediate vicinity of the
Office, and well acquainted, no doubt,
with the contracts given out, speaks UNI
derstandingly in regard to the natter
His defence Of the Surveyor General is
SO complete that the Express fails to
answer it--and that Locofoco sheet
shows Its partisan tendencies so plainly
in the matter. that its efforts to iniure a
popular and efficient public officer, falls
harmless at his feet. We adopt the
HeraId's article, and bespeak for it a
careful rerusal.

We have already announced the nomi-
nation of Samuel f.. Vinton, of Gallia
county, for the Office of Governor of
Ohio, by tie Wing Convention, Under
the new Constitution, almost all offices
in Ohio are filed by elections of the
people, and nominations have been made
to fill many of them. The other candi-
dates proposed for Wing support, are
For Lieutenant Governor, Ephraim
r. Eckley, of Carroll county; Secretary
of State, Earl Bill, of Erie; Attorney
General, Henry Stanbery, of Franklin;
,, Auditor of State, John Woods, of But
Ter; Treasurer of State, Albert A. Bliss,

Mr.. Vinton is known TO the nation as
one of the most influential and able
members OF Congress for many years
past. Under the Wing Administration,
he was placed upon the most important
committees of the House, and is entitled
to the full credit of originating and car
rying the just and admir- able plan upon
which the apporiionment Of the Repre-
sentaion in Congress under the new
census is to be made. After the death
OF Mr.. j. @. Adams, he was able TO
command more OF the attention of the

ported resolutions affirming the Wing

unbounded confidence in the present
Wing administration; affirming that the
Fugitive Law was not recommended by
