A Magnificent Pleasure Trip!

The N. Y. Tribune alludes 10 new
mode of dispensing public favors. We
think it much more sensible plan ol
uppertendom sociabiity than any vel
countenanced. Here il is: ..~...
"A prominent steamboat owner oil
this city, who has made an immense for.
tune in steamboating, has devised nov
ell, most liberal and magnificent plan for
discussing some of his gains. He pro.
poses to rig, in the mos. perfect style, q
steamer yacht, now nearly complete
furnishing her in the richest manner, a,
a cost of $4,000 over ordinary ships Of
the kind. About the first of May he
will take on board his sons and daugh
tiers and forty or fifty guests, and sail ior
London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, ST.
Petefsburgh, Havre. Bordeaux. Lisbon,
Gibralter. Marseilles, Naples, Malta
and such other ports as may be desirable,
staying short time a, each port, giving
feles and seeing the lions. The entire
expense, which is estimated at more
than 100000, will be borne by the
protector. This is about the most ex-
tensive plan Of pleasure trip ever YET
entertained, and when carried OUT (which
j. undoubtedly will be) will be very app
to give Europeans some new ideas oil
the outside barbarlans of Yankeedom."

wA Democratic Convention, to
nominate candidates for the Board OF
Public Works, 10 be held at Fairfield
on Saturday the 4th Of March, we be-
lieve has been agreed upon.
We would suggest the holding Of a
Convention, at this place, on the 22nd
day of February, of the friends of the
work, ,Dithout regard to party politics,
to nominate a ticket for the Board OF
Works. Party has controlled and mis-
managed this work long enough, and we
think it high time the People should take
the matter in hands. Every interest Of
the people of this Valley demands this
course to be pursued. and we hope they
will have the courage, for this once. to
battle for and maintain their rights
For one, we can pledge ourselves that
we will vote for no more men on party
grounds. so far as the Board of Public
Works is concerned; but shall vote for
the best men without regard to the dic,a-
ton Of packed party Conventions
Leave i, to party to decide and you will

ward getting a call up for this Conven-
ton! Where are the men that talked SO
much of bad management of the work,

cue, and boldly too. If anything is

THE DES MONIES COU RIER.


In our last issue we had occasion 10
notice this subiec. in reply to an item in
the Reporter. We did not explain the
matter so as to make it intelligible to oui
readers at distance. The facts were
these. The Legislature passed a bill
through both branches by large MAORI
ties, three. fourths in the House and near
ly that in the Senate, {bo,h branches be.
ing overwhelmingly locofoco,) submitting
the question Of calling convention &c
amend The constitution 10 vote of the
people. The Executive returned the
bill with his veto, basiDg the act upon the
ground that the Legislature had not pro-
vided for an election of the delegates TO
said convention in case the people voted
it. A bill was Immediately introduced
obviaiing the objections of his Excellen-
cy and the representatives of the people
knowing well The wishes of their constit.
uenls on this vital subject with almost an
equal majority passed that bill through
both branches Of the legislature. The
Governor, true to the instincts Of modern
Democracy, which, while it pretended
to the belief that the people are capable
of self government; systematically with
holds the power whenever it can, return
cd tina. bill also with his objections, leak
ing on, however in his last veto message
that he would not approve any bill for
tina, object as the people had not asked
il.
Thus the people who are declared in
the bill of rights to have power Of alter.
ing, amending or aboishing their con.
stitution whenever they think it proper,
are denied their right TO express their
wishes in the only mode left them to do
so, viz: at the ballot box, and that too by
a governor who dares TO desecrate the
holy name of Democracy, by calling him.
self one. This great question involving
as il does, 10 an immense extent the pros.
perity Of our young State of Iowa is
therefore postponed for Two years bng.
er, for two years longer unless the peo.
pie shall by mass meetings and petitions
induce our tyrant to deign to call the
peoples representatives together again
and allow them to carry out their (,he
peoples' will. ...... .....
Did we no. believe the interest Of the
state to be involved in tins issue to de.
gree far beyond any, good that might ar
rise from any party triumph, we might
rejoice in this result. Thati,s effect will
be TO transfer the state into the hands of
the wings we have lille doubt. The
people will rise as almost with one voice
and hurl from power those who have
dared to withhold from them, in fact to
wresi from them this one Of their deare ST
inalien,ble rights. But we cannot re.
joice at the result even in view of this ef-
feet. Two years IN the present period
Of rapid progress is long time, and we
are of those who believe that SO long a
time IS that cannot now re wasted with
out inflicling injury, deep and lasting in
jury upon our young state. We there
fore regret it Notwithstanding the good
effects which we believe it will have on
the interests of the wing party of the
