Banks and Bank paper.

There has been bill introduced
into each branch of the General As
sembly to operate as a check on the
importation bank rags with which
the friends of this pestilent currency
are flooding the state.
Mr. Sharp introduced the House
bill which was read first and second
time and referred to special COM
mittee Of which Mr. Sharp is chair
man. The bill is stringent one.
Mr. Hepner introduced the Senate
bill. Itprovides that the endorserof a
bank bill shall be liable in the same
manner that the endorsers of promi-
sorry notes are liable, except the hold
er of an endorsed bank note shall not
be required to prove due diligence to
collect il from the maker.
We hope the Legislature in the
short time it has to twill pass some
law by which the friends of paper
money may be discountenanced in
their efforts to drive gold and sill
yer out of circulation and supply pa
per in its stead.

So you see, the liar is caught
cannot conceive what prompted Judge
Bates to misrepresent me in a mat
ter of so much importance to my
constituents, unless it was because
l voted for Gen. Jones for U s Sena-
tor instead of him, when knew that
to vote for him would be to throw
away a vote on one who had no bet
ter prospect ofsuccess than anyother
old granny in the State, or because
| opposed the Des Moines River bill
which he was anxious to see passed
and which proposed to sell the whole
upper Des MONIES valley to shylocks
and spectators, or because ! did not
vote for him for state printer or aid in
putting him forward for Attorney
Gen. ofthe State under the new pro-
vision for the appointment of such
officer. 1t was certainly one, or all,
of these causes combined that promp-
ted him to do this.

Married.

On Monday January 10th 1853 by
the Rev. Mr.. JEMIsoN Mr. C. C. SLO-
CUM to Miss MARTHA L. McCON-
MEL, all of Marriage, Iowa county,
Iowa.
In this instance the new system of
paying the printer was adopted; a
piece of yellow coin, instead Of piece
of wedding cake. This has the ef-
feet to cheat the dcva for the benefit
of the publisher. Most good chris
tains would say that the "end" would
justify the "means." But we think
that except in cases like the present
where it is announcement, the "Deyil
should have his due" in accordance
with the time honored custom.
But be this as it may, we at least
wish the newly married couple a
long life and happy one.

~As there has been some dis
agreement among Mr. Folsom's con-
stituents in relation to his course on
the bill referred to below, we ex-
tract from the Dubuque Herald what
we are authorized to say was his
true position on the Bill Granting the
right Of scay to rail road compaaies.-
The Editorial correspondence says:
"This bill being on its passage, Mr..
Folsom moved to re-commit it to the
Committee of the whole House for
the purpose Of amending it by striking
out the provision authorizing Railroad
Companies to take depot grounds
This motion to re-commit prevailed.
He then moved that the word depot
be stricken out, SO as to refuse the
privilege of taking depot grounds to
Rsilroad Companies.
Mr. Folsom made an elaborate and
able speech in opposition to the prin-
ciple of the bill. He said that this
RAILROAD principle was a deity which
Uc 1c0rcu lou many "oiSuipCu WIFI
mere devotion than they did their
Maker. He was not willing to go
that far. He was not willing to grant a
Railroad Company the right to pillage,
for chat was a right which even the
Christian religion did not AJAX to save
the souls Of sinners. Vote this law,
said he, and the House would vote
untold wo to the people Of Iowa.
After explanation in which Mr..
Grant informed him that ten acres
of ground wosld be necessary for
depot grounds ct Davenport. Mr..
Folsom said with that understanding
the bill presented itself to his mind
as a horri6c proposition, and he
would not by his voice or vote sustain
such a principle or such robbery as
this bill asked the Legislature to
sanction. Not even an instruct ton to
him would induce him to SO vote or
act wrong, whether hoary headed or
not it was still no less a wrong, and
it was no argument to be told that
other States by their Legislation
sanctioned such principle"

Judge Douglass Reelected.

The Hon. Stephen A. Douglasshas

bodyment of Western progression.
Through sunshine and storm--in sea-

constitutional Convention Gov.
Hempstead's Veto.


The bill submitting to vote of the
people the question of convention
to amend the Constitution of the State
which had passed both branches of
the General Assembly and been pre-
sented for the executive approval,
was returned yesterday to the House
of Representatives where it origina-
ted. with objections. The principal
ground Of objection is that the bill as
passed is impracticable and could
not be carried into execution under
the Constitution.
The Constitution provides that
when the General Assembly shall
think it necessary to amend or
alter the constitution, they may sub-
nit that question to a vote Of the
people at the next election of men,
bers of the General Assembly. And
in case majority vote for conven
ton said General Assembly shall pro-
vide for the election of Delegates,
who shall meet within six months af-
ter said General Election.
The election Of members Of the
General Assembly at which this vote
would be taken is held on the LIST
Mon.ley in August in 1854 and the
conventional a majority vote in favor
Of a convention) must convene on
the lst of February 1855. This bill
simply submitted the question for" or
against a convention and makes
no provision for the election of Dele
gates in case majority should vote
in favor of a convention. The next
General Assembly would meet less
than two months previous to the time
fixed by the constitution for the meet
ing of the convention. And in that
time it would seem to be impossible
that bill could be got through all
the forms of neutrality-suspicious.
to give it effect-and then under il
notice given, and delegates elected
in time to travel from remote parts
of the State to the seat of Govern
ment to meet according to this con-
stitutional requirement.
This was SO apparent that on the
questioned the passage of the bill not
withstanding the Governors veto the
vote stood yeas 6 nays SO.
The action on this bill is of itself
conclusive evidence in favor of a
qualified veto power in the hands OF
the executive. Here was a bill pas
sed, without haste, with much consid-
Grafton and discussion, by a deci.
sive majority, on subject of gen.
eral interest-being the incipien,
steps to test the sense of the PEG.
pie on principles engrafted in the
present constitution which democrats
believe to be of vital importance te
our political rights-when the provis.
ions ofthe bill were such as to put the
people to great trouble and expense
without attaining any practical re.
sYlt. nhNne our wing friends
who w. Astain she Governo,
in vetoing this bill will acknowledge
their error and cease that demagogue
clamor which they have kept up fol
years about what they call "the one
man power"

1t is with feelings of deep regret,
and modification that find myself
compelled to resort to this mode to
place myself right before my friends
and constituents, on matter in which
| have been misrepresented by Judge
Bates the Editor of the Iowa Star.
And what makes it still more NOR
tifying than it otherwise would be
is the fact that this misrepresen-
tation is made by one of my own po-
litical party; and one of my own con.
stituents. 1t is true that | knew be-
fore this that his feelings towards me
was none of the kindest but still was
much surprised, when | found that he
had published Il willful and base lie,
for no other purpose than to injure
me in the esteem of my friends and

Burglary in MarengO Iowa county

Some scoundrel on Wednesday
night Of last week broke into the Of
flee of the county treasury of Iowa
County and stole about $50 which
had been left in the desk. The thief
was disappointed in his expectations
the rest OF the money belonging to
the county was taken from the office
the evening before. But he did
enough to send him to the Peniten-
tiary if he is caught, and there are
some traces which may eventually
lead to his detection.
