which flows from sclfreliance, We ar,
reaping the disadvantages Of our helples,

Iowa were promised by its Constitution
makers a currency Of gold and silver j
they would receive their bsn,ling. Tick
led with the idea Of realizing Tom Benton
olden promise, that .gold should flow W
the Mississippi aud glitter through the in
ersiices Of every mans purse" they
grecdily swallowed the bait. What have
been the consequence We can speak
from experience. First, money was SC
scarce that no production Of farm or me-
cha nicsi labor could command il, even
wheat went a-begging and at best was but
an equivalent for "store pay" Then came
an importation of the notes Of distant
banks of questionable solyency and times
were q little easier, wheat began to
command cash, though at ruinous rates
Finally these notes are in part super.

Then followed Clark g. Co., Of ST. Louis,
Page & Bacon, Simonds, &c, &c, patri-
otto individuals Of the same city, all intent
upon supplying this great want 10 the
State Of Iowa. Now we appeal to every
citizen of our noble State, whether il be
policy to depend upon individuals abroad
for our circulating medium, when by
amending our Constitution and adopting a
Free Banking Law, We can establish for
ourselves currency over which we can
have the direct control and which in its in
PRODUCTION will be the means Of bringing
hundreds of thousands Of capital into our
State. We call upon the Locofocos as con-
the majority Of the people Of Iowa,
either to rid US Of the individual RESPONSE.
bii,es and irredeemable trash of other
States and give US that superabundance of
gold and silver long promised, or confer
upon US free banking system, similar to
that which their brethren Of Illinois upon
mature delibera,ion have adopted. Say to
your leaders, We have suffered for years in
out your theory, you must now
regard our interests by altering that ex-
ceptionable feature 10 our Constitution
which makes us dependent upon the resi-
dents Of other States for the means of con-
Quoting our business dependence sub

APPOINTMENT CoNrIRmEp.-We are graiied to
learn by the Telegraphic reports from Washing
ton City, that the appointment OF Geo. B. sar-
gent, Esq. as Surveyor General OF Iowa and
Wise onsin, has been confirmed by the u. s. SEN
ate. No Executive appointment has ever been
made deserving Of more favorable action Of Sena-
tors, than that Of General Sargent Ofhis knowl-
edge OF the duties Of his Office and Of his compe
tency 10 perform them, no one has ever enter
tanned doubt, The opposition which has At.
tempted 10 array itself against him, Qeebe and
harmless. as the event has proved) has sprung
from political jealousy, or perhaps in part from
personal pique, but has never been able 10 reach
tenable position, or bring forward single
sound argument why he should be rejected. In
the administration OF the Office since his nomina-
ton, we believe Gen. Sargent has been governed
by strict regard to the responsibilities Of his
station, and by constant and unwavering desire
to promote the public good.
