Of this Stats, to-day, after temporary absence,
received semioficial satements of the recent out.
rage committed in the State Of Pennsylvania, by q
mob q outlaws, upon tho persons Of citizens Of

the most entire confidence in the resolution Of your
Excelency 10 enforce the laws Of the land, At all
hazards, and to the fullest EXTENT il nevertheless
becomes my duty to address you this communica-
ton. Great az is the crime committed, when con.
sidered solely in references the individual victims
themselves, its enormity and danger can only be
properly estimated when viewed in connection with
the present state of the country.
From the very beginning. Maryland has, with
one voice, sustained The Compromise measures. No
man has dared to raise the flag of disunien within
her borders. All parties have united in defence of
the Constitution. All classes of our citizens have
renewed their vows Of fealty to the institutions Of
| their fathers. Maryland has, therefore, . moral
weight with the South, which armies and naviss
cannot give. 1t would be terrible, indeed, If she
should, under any combination of circumstances,
b driven to place herself 1t The head Of the column
be htal. Where would Virginia bel Where, in
fact, every Southern State! The result is TOO Ter.

look this contingency right in the face. Do not
understand me ~ intimating that such disaster 10

il is necessary that should tell you that our people
are deeply and justly exaspsrated: Il 10 proper
that you should be frankly assured that nothing
can, OF will, or ought to satisfy them, but the most
prompt, thorough and severe Fetgibution upon the
perpetratofs Of the mulderous treascn recenuy com

Grer and Kane, have expressed the opinion that
the crims amounted to treason against the Fedora!

Emigration to Town.

Our exchanges in the State notice
the unusual large emigration to the State
this Spring. 1t is said that at our prin.
cipal towns and cities on the River the
rush Of emigran,s seeking homes in the
interior of our fertile, healthy. and pro.
ductive State, is almost incredible.
Now that the bubble has burst, in the
land of golden visions, and men are set.
Ting down once more in their sober SEN
ses, we may expect this valuable acqui.
sision TO our population, yearly to con-
tinue. Let all who are seeking homes,
where frugality and industry secures a
competency, remember that Iowa is, and
always has been, far ahead of Califor-
MA. So, at least, say those who have
tried both. eeaa,

We have heard quite number of Lo-

their qualification al the removal of Col.
Booth; and we understand that this feel

State among the party. They cannot,
however, be speaking BY the book. as
wenotice several articles in the Locofo-

ously, and calling the Wings all sorts OF
bard names for his discopfit. How is
this, sirs, that some blow hot and some
blow cold? Or are we to understand
sha,you all, people and papers, are very
we'll pleased, but it is in the biz for the
papers TO whine for buncombe, and they
mean to do it. .r....... ....-r-s, o..

certain dead bodies, supposed TO be con.

noisome smell, and the officials were sure
thatsome murderers had taken this meth

guilt. A large crowd of persons was
soon gathered about the offending and
suspicious case, to look wise, and at the
same time hold their noses. The Cor

came forth as would have delighted the

singular lecture at Bath. For awhile

Our farmers, SO far as rich soil; whole
some air; fruitful seasons and abundant
crops are concerned, are as highly favor
ed, probably, as any in the world. AT
The proper season their granaries and
barns are literally crammed with fruits
OF the field. But of what avail is it to
the farmer to have his surplus thousands
lying in his hands, useless and worse
than useless in many instances, in his
way, when it is only worth $3.50 per
thousand bushels OF corn, and $40 to
$40 per hundred bushels of wheat--and
less for oats. At this rate a whole crop
would not much more than pay the ex.
pense Of raising it.
But we hear the inquiry, "why don't
they take it TO markell Yes, sure
enough, why don't they : For the best
of all reasons in the world. As things
are now, there being no Plank Roads
no improved navigable streams-,hose
who have it in hand say the Des Moines
will be, if we wait awhile--twe have
waited four years ,olerably patiently and
can afford to wait on, mo turnpikes or
Railroads, if our farmers were to go to
market with il, they would have their
pains for their trouble; as the expense Of
transportation would ca, up the Profits.
Thus, farmers, while you see and feel
the need Of some speedy relief, men
from your midst, men from the West,
well acquainted with all your wants,
stand up in the light of day and vote and
take grounds against the River and Har-
Dor Bill, against a system Of Internal
Improvements! And way up here in
this beautiful valley, overlooking with
abundance e. no remunera.ing marke, for
it, men standup and are backed by the Lo.
cofoco press, and declare for the dough-
faced General, who by being at one time
"a mere locker on" and at another a
good deal more than "looker on" de-
feated all our long cherished western i'm.
provements, probably for years. But the
moment we say anything about the hos
tility of this great "emboIimeut" Of
modern Locofocracy, we are met with
the innocent cry Of "Oh, bless you, we
are all for internal improvements
Didn', Dodge and jones and Letter vote
for internal Improvements! And don't
that prove that the Locofoco party are
in favor Of ihem!'' ...e ...r.-
IL these men and a few honorable ex-
cepiions were the Locofoco party, we
admit that it would be right. But they
are only as five or six who stood by the
Wings and the country, compared 10 the
whole Locofoco party in Congress, who
with General circumstance" at their
head stabbed TO death this great Western
interest. And the votes of these men
who voted with the wings and a.
gainst Cass g. Co., viii make nothing in
their favor if they should turn right
round and support Cass for the Presi-
dency with his recent course towards our
western Improvements fresh before them.
II wont do to say that they are for i'm
proving the great west and expect the
people to believe them, while they give
''aid and comfort" TO its worst enemies.
