that wonder of the age, The late Demo.
cratic State Address, which the Republic
of last week, with such whitening sar.
casm takes us to task for cri,icising in
ever milder terms than it deserves.
What say you, Farmers, Mechanics, and

doctors? You havn't had quite enough
of this "worse currency,"-,his "scum''
as they call i,-you must have more

be any better. Now don't you think

Il The Republic was decidedly spas.
modic last week in relation TO US, apply
ing to US again various appellations,
some of them new, choice, and character
is,ic. We can't attend to i, now, but
after the elections we intend to compile
a Dictionary Of Blllingsgate from the
columns Of the Republic; work which
will contain all the low and vulgar terms
in the language, with the late inventions
of the Des iHoines Republic. 1t will
be all invaluable work in the region of
the Five Points and to small politicians
generally, who have to make up in slang
and personalities what they lack in wit
and argument.
We speak and have spoken OF these
men, the managers of the Party,) as
sense. OF duty TO ourselves and the
country seemed to require. We have
treated them as their acts and conduc,
justified and demanded; personally we
have had and have now no hard feelings
towards them, and no desire to injure
them. We regard them as clique, a
combination, based upon selfshness; ma
king use Of the name of Democracy,
withou. having particle of its spirit, for
selfish purposes. Hence, when we
have spoken of "lhese men, we have
had no reference to the masses OF the
Democracy. All our sympathies are
with the masses, and all our hopes CEN
tire in them. We do not and never have
in thought, or by word, blamed the mas
ses of the Democratic Party for the mis-
cradle legislation which their agents
have fastened upon the State. They
elected "ihese men" to Office in good
faith. and under pledges and expectations
which have been broken and disappoint-
ed; under the expectation and belief that
the policy which these men adopted and
urged upon the masses, again and again,
might be the best. Blu: time and expe-
rience has proven that their policy is
wrong and can never lead to good, and
that 1t and the whole school of poli,i-
iians connected with il must be thrown
overheard, or the State Of Iowa can new
er prosper.

az We solicit attention TO the COM
munication in another column from a
citizen Of Pennington, Van Buren, coun-
y, suggesting a River Improvement
Convention, 10 be held at Ottumwa, with.

will be conceded by all that something
ought 10 be done; that some speedy ac-
ton ought TO be taken, in view of the
adoption of some effec,ual measures for
the promotion OF this important work.

wise and necessary, is a question we
are not prepared 10 decide. We are,
however, open TO conviction. l: is a
busy time with the farmers, and it nigh.

but meeting with specific objects in

upon The question-that they are salts
ie1 where the difficulty lays, and are
prepared to apply correc.ive--ht the

recommend Convention at this time
but if The general voice seems 10 indi-
cate the importance aud necessity of one,
and if we can be convinced of any prac-
iicable good to be accomplished by it,
then we shall most cordially unite in it.
We are in favor of any and everything

Dcs MOincs River Affairs.

Gen, Van Antwerp, Commissioners OF
the River improvement, returned from
the East last week. We understand
that nothing has been effected by way oil
raising means to carry on the work, and
that matters remain as they were.
II is probable that the officia. organ oil
the Commissioners, the Dispatch, will be
able TO give more detailed account oil
matters, but il will be all the same in
substance.
About the last of July or first of Au-
gust we think il safe to calculate that
there will be "good news for the people
of the Des Moines Valley" and after
the election they will have leisure to in.
quire whether the news be true as well
as good. Paliey Whig.

From the FIR onticr Guardian and Sentinel
Indian HOstiiifies upon the over

and California.

Various reports have been circulated
concerning the conduct of the Pawnee
tribe TO emigration this spring. The fol-
lowing is correct sta,emen, Of the par
tlculars:
On the morning Of the 10Th of May,
Mr.. F. Nj. Brakes (of the Drakeville
train, horse was stolen and driven among
a drove of Indian ponies to their covert
among the willows on the west of Elk
Horn Fork, Of Platte river. He, in COM
pany with two Of his men, pursued them
and recovered his horse. About two
hours afterward, he was attacked by a
body of them on ponies while bartering
with another one Of these tribes for a
lasso, and an attempt made TO rob him.
They stole his handkerchief and one
glove before he was aware of it. He
presented his revolver and made them re-
fund them, in connection, also, with 40
cents in money, which he had rendered
Them for lasso, and they had refused to
give up either. He made his escape
from them TO his train OF five wagons
and 10 men, and the same evening the
train WIS attacked by 81 armed warriors
on the borders of the Platte, north OF
their village, and a very strong attemp,
mace TO rob their wagons and cut off their
teams. As their cattle were much fright
Ienec, they could only bring nine of their
men into action, and without very harsh
means, forced retreat, and passed on
without further difficulty until the eve.
ming Of the llth, when they, in connec.
lion with another train of Ia wagons,
were attacked, at the crossing of Shell
creek, by about 500 Indians in ambush
among the willows. Here their in,en-
lions we're Of the most savage character.
They had torn out the centre fthe bridge
and matted in loose brush in such form
as to entrap the wagons in advance, bu,
their design was easily discovered, when
they threw their wagons into a cor.el for
defence, and dispatched runner to a
company of 80 wagons behind, under the
command of Capt. Franklin, from Agen-
cy City. The Captain, being a valiant
and courageous man, pushed ahead of
his train to prepare all things for the con-
test, and in company of from Is to 20
men. mostly from Drakeyille and Agen-
.cy City, rushed upon them in their am.
bush and drove them back across Platte
river. The engagement was but momen.
tary. They were fired upon by the COM
pany of volunteers, who drove them GU,
OF their ambush on our side of Shell
creek, while on the other side few of
the boys ie, drive with their rifles as they
crept from the willows. In the whole

THE RIVER IMPROVEMENT
A CONVENTION.
For the Courier.


Messrs. Editors:--At the request OF
several persons residing a, different
points on The Des Moines River, | adj
dress you these few lines OIL The subjec,
of the River improvement, and hope
you will giee them place in your valu-
able paper; anu l do no, wish to be ,un-
derstood as casting any reflections on
either parties or individuals for their past
conduct in relation TO the matter, from
the fact, that The pas, cannot be recalled
and serves only TO admonish us 10 be
on our guard for The future.
When the appropriation was frs,
II AIDE by Congress for the Improvement,
the citizens of Iowa, especially those re-
siding in the Valley of the Des Moines,
were elated with The fat,ering prospects
of having their beautiful River impro.
we'd in manner that would provide
them with water power and safe aud
easy channel, through which the pro
ducts of their labor could find its way to
the markets Of the world. The energy
of the people was aroused; the towns
and villages along the Valley assumed
new life, and everything seemed to in
dictate that the day star of prosperity
had dawned on the Banks Of the far ia
med Des Moines;--but how vain are
hopes when dependen, on sectional inter.
est and party strife, famed by the poi
sonous breath Of den agogueism for their
confirmation! The work, based IS il
was on munfcen, Grant, and common,
ced under the most fa..ering prospects,
has fingered along from year to year like
an lnyllld in The hands of an unskiilful
physician, until the most sanguine begin
10 despair of its completion.
The appointment. of Commissioner
and the confirmation of the entire grant
gave new hopes that something would
be accomplished; yet the season is pass
ing away and there is no evidence of a
change for the better.
The River, Natures highway, has
been blocked up for years and lis navi.
CATION ruined by the unfinished improve.
men,s; the towns and villages have been
checked in their proud career and tom
PEELED to stand still and wait for the mo.
wing of the waters, or in other words, Tor
the powers that govern, until forbearance
has ceased to be virtue.
Let the friends of The improvement,
take the matter in hand; and if they can
not change physicians, let them recon-
mend such prescription as will eifeciu-
ally remove the evil and accomplish the
desired object; for if the people, the SOU
ereign People in the Des Moines Valley
and its vicinity uW The Improvements,
they will be done; and as union is
strength and IN council there is wisdom,
| would suggest that Convention be
called to meet at Otiumwa on the 9Th
day of July next, without distinction of
party, and that the citizens in each town

or some other time previous 10 the meet.
