1t Is surprising TO note the difference which
is incident to the same observation of the same
fact seen from different points of view Some
journals regard the defeat of Mr.. McGAUGHEY,
the Wing candidate for Congress in one of the
districts of INDIANA, as attributable TO the sup
port Of the Fugitive Slave law. Other jour
nails, not WING journals, attribute it to the fact
that he was not so good Compromise man as
his competitor; inasmuch as Mr. MCGAUGHEY
voted against one of those measures, and his
rival would have voted for all Of them.
In another district Mr. JULIAN, Democratic
Free-soller, who gave great offence by his ultra
course in the last Congress, was defeated. A
reason assigned for this defeat has been that
the successful candidate proclaimed himself a
better Free-soiler than Mr.. JULIAN. But an
other opinion, equally reliable, has been that
the cause of Mr.. JULIAN's defeat was his oppo-
stion to the Fugitive Slave law. We leave
the adjudication of these differences to the tri-
bunal that shall decide whether the arrange
ment with Texas contemplated the surrender of
vast extent of free soil to slavery, or of an
equal extent of slave territory to free SOIL The
points are equally knotty and difficult of salts
factory solution. The decision will probably
depend upon the fact whether Northern or a
Southern view is taken of the questions in con-
troyersy.

Missouri Members OF Congress.

The people of Missouri appear to be in dan
ger of being deprived of their full quota of Re
representatives. in the Thirty-third Congress.
The census of 1850 commences to operate with
that Congress, the first session of which will
take place in December. 1853. The members
of the Thirty second Congress are already cho-
sen. The difficulty which now presents itself,
in regard to the increased representation to
which the State is entitled, the Missouri Re-
publican states, was foreseen at an early period
of the last Legislature, and efforts were made
to provide against it. The law as it now
stands provides for the election of tice members
Of Congress instead Of seUcn, which the State
is entitled to under the new census For this
purpose the several counties are divided into
districts, and next August, under the law, is the
time appointed for their election
The Republican, suggesting modes of obviat-
ing the difficulty, says;
"The people of this State have right TO full and
equal representation in Congress This they cannot
have, unless the Legislature at proper time shall
divide the State into equal Districts and this can
only be done at called session; or lift be deemed
advisable, simply to postpone the election for year
longer, then new Legislature, fresh from the peo.
pie, will have the opportunity in the winter of 1862
Of making the apportionmcnt which justice and
the law requires shall be done. There will be this
advantage in favor of the latter mode, that Repre-
sentatives will be elected only four months before
they take their seats and will be elected issues
then before the people, and in whchthey may be pre-
sumed to have an interest. Under the present sys-
tenn, of clecting members nearly year and half
in advance Of tho time when they take their seats,
tn is can hardly be said to be the case"

State of Iowa.
| MIR. LEA speaks in the highest terms Of the
country. The climate, considering the lat-
tude, is thought by'those who have breathed its
atmosphere to be the finest and healthiest in
the world; there is no disease of chils and fe-
vers; in point of beauty it is represented as con-
veying the best idea Of what the Imagination
pictures as the far renowned Garden of Eden,
with Its exuberant richness. The air at all
times is pure Fish and wild fowl are
found in the rivers and lakes of that we'll
watered section. 1t is remarkable fact
that the winter there is regarded as less rigor-
GUS than in the same latitude on the At
lantic. The SHOWS are "dry," accompanied by
very little wind and no rain, and are scarcely
ever deep. Gentlemen living in Minnesota
say that they have suffered less during the cold
weather in that Territory than they did when
they resided in the South. The spring breaks
suddenly, and vegetation puts forth with won
derful rapidity.
From what we can learn, ke country is sus-
ceptble Of easy settlement, with an active,
hardy population; and SO soon as the treaty
shall be ratified, there will be rush to that
beautiful cline from various sections of the
Union.
The treaties are, perhaps, the most import
ant which have been negotiated with Indian
tribes for the past quarter of century. They
will bring millions of rich lands into the market,
and abundant revenue into the public treasury.
The treaties are of peace and philanthropy,
and will relieve the Indians from their present
suffering condition. AT present, they live,
many of them against their will, in rude
state Of communism. The powerful despoil
the weak of their goods. II is therefore natu-
raj that the oppressed should desire protection,
as, under the prevailing system, there is no in
ducement for them to become agriculturists,
as they fear the result of their industry would
The ample, humane, and generous provision
which the treaties make for their support, is in
accordance with justice, while at the same time
tho United States receive rich return in the
form of lands.

A rumor was very current through the city
yesterday, and We presume has been circulated
through the country by telegraph, that de
spatch had been received from New Orleans,
at the Adjutant Generals office, from General
Twroes, stating that the Spanish Consul had
been put 10 death by the mob. There was so
much circumstantiality in the statement that
we were induced to make inquiry at the War
Department as to its truth, and learned that no
such intelligence had been received. We pre-
sumo that there is no more truth in the stories
of outrage upon that officer which have reached
us by the way of Charleston.

Telegraphic advices were received yesterday
at the Treasury Department from the collector
at New Orleans, under date Of the 2lst instant.
They mention the receipt of the news of the
execution of the fifty prisoners at Havana, but
make no alusion to the reported sailing of the
steamers Fanny and Alabama, nor Of any col
lision between the United States authorities
and the mob They state that there is no news
in the city later than that brought by the En-
pire City.

Dispatches have been received at the Navy
Department by the Cherokee, from the com
manders of the United States steamer Piren
and of the Albany, at Havana.
The commander of the Piren, on the 9TH of
August, reports that there had been some in
surrectionay movements in Cuba, but all had
then been put down except about five hundred
men (saii to Beg near Principe, who were in
the mountains surrounded by the Spanish
troops.
The commander of the albany, on the 18th
and 10th reports the landing of LOPEZ on the
18th, and his engagements with the Spanish
troops, but that reports were SO contradictory
that he could not ascertain the results. and that
the piren was on that day despatched for Pensa-
cola to carry the sick and lnvalids who had been
taken on board the Albany for passage to the
North. Subsequently, on the 10th, he reports
having heard that fifty men of the expedition
had been brought to Havana and shot.
