~ The Whig Executive Committee Of this

county, John w. Markle, for School Fund
Commissioner and William P. Whightman for
Clerk Of the District Court. These both
verv clever men-they are our friends, and

they have allowed this committee, unadvised by

public, in such an unpleasant predicament.-
We had hoped better things Of them, but there
is ne accounting for the tastes of men.
We have warned them from time 10 time

necessity for change. We have reminded them
Of our circumstances, appealed to their inielii-

every thing they hold dear in this life to beware
Of the slippery ground upon which they stand
| But they have been deaf and dumb to the voice

free government.

To the Editors Of the Republican:

The people OF all l>wa have
witnessed, with profound pleasure, the eminent
ly just, and appropriate structures, which, on
the Oath ultimo, you were impelled to pro-
nounce upon the factious efforts of Burlington
to defeat the petition of this State for grants Of
land to the Dubuque and Keokuk and Daven-
port and Council Bluffs Railroads. They have
also, with extreme astnnishment and mortifica-
ton, seen the press Of Burlington attemptng'to
controvert the correctness of your statements,
that these works have been unremittingly urg-
ed by the people and Legislature Of Iowa for
years, and that the Lafayette and Burlington
scheme is a recent project, invented to supplant
the others. The audacious assurance with
which this issue has been presented by Burlng-
ton, induces us to furnish you, in corroborai'n
of your statements-tfrst copy of memorial
which passed the last Legislature of Iowa and
second, synoptical statement of aportion only
of the movements, popular and legislative, by
which these roads and land grants have been
urged upon the attention Of Congress, by the
people of Iowa, to be used at yonr discretion.
We will only add, that. until quite recently, Bur
lington has either participated by her votes, or
acquiesced by her silence, in all these multitude
nous demonstrations.

few days ago, we felt constrained by a
sense of public duty to allude to the injury
which portion of the citizens Of Burlington
were doing to the interests of The Wes, in
| starting new proposition for donation of
lands, and rendering their claim antng'nistic
! to other propositions that had previously been
pressed by the people of,he State. In this we
looked only to the general effect. 1t does not
become US to say where or to what points rail-
roads shall be built in Iowa but we cnnld not

ton had started, and which, by "lobby mem
bers, they had carried into the United States
Senate, manifesting by the zeal and bitterness
with which it has been conducted, that there
were great divisions in the West on these sub
jects, was calculated to iniure and delay other
incritorious propositions, about which there were
no divisions of sentiment in the States in which
they existed. These antcipations, we think,
are fully justified by the action Of Congress.
The bill for donating lands to Iowa for the con-
struction Of the railroads is not yet disposed of
the Senate, and all other prop ,sitions, of like
charac'er, are deferred until this is settled. The
action in the Senate has had its influence on
the H"use, and there proposi'i is for the grant
ot lands in aid nt similar Improvements are Civ
en- such direction as virtually ~ defeat them
We attribute to the schism in Iowa one Of the
greatest causes of objection that has arisen to
the propositions from other States
We alluded to this matter some days ago, and
expressed our opinion of it's influence. That
expression has drawn US a vast amount of
censure, and some unmerted abuse, from the
Burlington papers. We have been charged
with nearly every crime and derelction that an
editor can commit, but as yet we have seen no
statement of facts that controverts the material
parts Of our statement. We stated that the prop
| ositon of Railroad east and west from Bur
lington was a new one-that the urging of this,
against others which had been for many years
pressed and presented by the people of the
State, was wrong, and calculated to do much in
jury-tha. 1t operated not only against the
claims of Railroads in other States, but against
the improvement of the R,pids In the cor
rectness of these views streng hened by
the reports we have in the public press, and the
letters of our correspondent, relative to the pro-
ceedings in Congress- But our views have
been sanctioned and approved by many of the
leading men Of Iowa themselves. We have
many letters Of appreciation, but the following,
from gentlemen OF the first responsibility,
lieves us of wantonness or ignorance of the
