JOHN p. COOK.

John P. Cook arrived in town yesterday. lie
reports himself in good health at present, but IS
apprehensive of an attack of domestic retire
rneat, which will probably seize him about the
first Monday in August. John has been
troubled for some years, with a chronic disease,
STYLED ia modern parlance, ,rhiggery. 1t is a
disease over which the physicians in this vicl-
nity have but little control, and which, in this
climate generally takes it's victims off very
suddenly, but not in all cases without severe
struggle.
We have not heard whether John has com
mcnced expectorating cotton or not but we
understand that his rGiiroad respirations are
frequent.
A further development of his disease, it is
presumed, will bring night sweats, which
generally produce coldness about the extreme
ties, and may be regarded as the forerunner o.
speedy dissolution.
When this event occurs. and it may be safely
calculated upon about the Sd day of August
just at the going down of the sun, we shall no.
be among the missing to do honor to ou
fallen friend, who, like other wings in Iowa
was created to die, and met his fate like a mar
and soldier In the language of holy writ
it will then become our duty to regard him " a
lamb led to the slaughter, dumb before hi
shearers, so opened he not his mouth"

ImroRrAsT TO VorERs.-As the wings, and
especially that portion of them who are howiing
for Office, make virtue of denouncing the en-.
tire Code, as an infamous system oflaws. it may
he well to let the voters, who are directly and
deeply interested in this subject, know some
thinr about the operation Of our Revenue and
County system, which are SO ninch abused and
slandered by the pop gan candidates OF the
whg party for the Legislature.
1t will be borne in mind that the State taxes,
will be reduced the present year from three to
one and n-haif mills.
This glorious result is attributable entirely &c
the New Revenue Law.
AS to the present system, we would state tha
MIR. o 'Brien, the Recorder, informs US, that the
County expenses, under the new law, are ovcl
three thousand dollars less, than they were un
der the old law
These facts must address themselves directly
to the understanding and interest of every vote1
in the County and State And they shouie
guide the people in the solemn and responsible
duty of depositing their votes. They shoult
appeal powerfully to the good sense, the nteres
and honesty of every voter. They should leave
these public criers against the Code, these
spectators upon public prejudice, enemies te
public justice, ans petty trafckers IN the public
interest, for purely partisan purposes, wher
they legitimately belong-at home nursing th'
babies, and feeding themselves " NIT spoon.
! In the newly organized and sparsely popu
lated counties, the people will feel the benefits
of this system less, than more densely populate
counties but this is a result which no la,
could provide against, and which the counties
as they settle up, which is daily and rioidl
going on, will necessarily be relieved from
What might seem an onerous tax, with
population of one or two hrndred, will be yer
moderate one, with population of six or eigl
hundred And, as the counties continue
increase in population, the burdens will
i lessened.
Let the people duly weigh this innportal

Facts For The People.

reacts : or 9he HeOoic
Let voters bear IN mind, that the wings are
opposed to the entire Code
That democrats are in favor Of preserving
TIE Code, with proper and necessary amend,
ments.
Thai the Revenue law, as much as il has been
abused by whg journals, Office holders and
seekers, has had the effect within one year, to
lessen the state tax from three, to one and half
mills.
That the wings are in favor OF doing away
with the present provision Of the constitution,
prohibiting the state from running in debt, to an
amount exceeding one hundred thousand dol
lars.
That they are in favor Of abolishing the clause,
prohibiting banking.
That the county organization, although sue
ceptible of improvement, is a less expensive sys-
tenn for the people, ifjudciously managed, than
the old one.
That the Road law, is the only one, really
susceptible of radical improvements.
Let the people bear in mind that it IS moi
al,oays he ,cho cries Lord Lord that shall be
saped, nor is it he, who cries bad Code, bad
Code, with no reason for his opinion, that shall
be believed In matter of such weighiy i'm
portance, as that OF abolishlng an entire sy stem
of laws, which has cost the wisdom OF our best
men, the labor Of years and a large sum oi
money, merely upon the political clap trap oi
selfish politicians and greedy office hunters, who
have perhaps never given the Code an hours
reading, +he voters Of Iowa, should be duly
mindful of the responsibility which rests upon
them. No law should ever be condemned until
it has received cardid and dispassonae exam
nation and good ard substantial reasons can
be offered, for its amendment or repeal. Shall
the masses,-,he bone and sinew Of the coun-
try,-those who do all the labor, elevate, pros
per and adorn the country,-elect the officers
and pay the expenses of government-be made
slaves to a scasefess ttcaddic about the Code,
from a set of petty whig Office seekers, who
might as well talk about the laws Of the Tar
tars so far as any well defined ideas upon the
subject are concerned? We hope not. Ard in
venturing this hope, we candidly believe, that
the people are governed by higher motives OF
public policy and justice, than TO be induced to
ac, in drcc, conflict with their best interes's.

r RTDERT.

Some reports are circulating in the country
derogatory to the character OF b. Rnper', cur
candidate for Clerk of the District Court.
We would caution voters, to be duly guarded
about relying upon these reports, which are
carefully suppressed from the public, until just
preceding our election The very fact, that
they are not put in circulation, untl it is too
late to meet and disprove them before election,
is indubitable evidence, that, as general thing,
,hey are entitled to no credit. We feel perfectly
assured that this is The case, in the present
instance.
