CoMMuNIC CATION FKoM FoKr DEsA lines
1t affords us pleasure to give place, in our col
umns Of this day, to communication froni a
thorough going democrat of Fort Desmoines.
II is suggested in said communication that
the next Governor be taken from The West and
that Polk county will present a candld,te. Rely
ing upon the intelligence, sound discrimination
and fidelity of those who will be selected to re-
present the democratic party in the next state
convention, we have no doubt satisfactory nom
nations will be made; and should Old Polk be
so fortunate to secure the candidate for Gov
ernor, we shall hold ourself in readiness as one,
to give the nomination most cordial support
We cannot as democratic organ take sides
before the nomination., but we can and ,csii
90 our full length, when the nomination is once
made.

WHAT OUR NElGHBORS OF GALENA
ARE LIP 10

ARE UP TO.
The following cona nunic,ti,n from the Pos,
Master at V,n.on, Benton County, explains
Itself
The inhabitants of Galena, it appears, are
very anxious TO get the Distributing Office re-
moved to that place and in the event that it
cannot be go, there, their next object is to get it
.semoved 10 Rock lsland-any corner of the
wide world before Dubuque. Why this inor
dina,e anxiety for the removal of the office from
Dubuque, when such removal would be a hard
ship to Northern Iowa, Western Wisconsin and
interferes IN single particular with the mail
matter for Galena' Why propose to locate the
Distributing Office at Rock Island, where the
matter for this portion of the country. and North
ofthis, would be compelled to take Soulherly
direction from Chicago, and then work its way
up the river, when we have railroad within
forty miles of this place, and next June will
have an uninterrupted chain Of railroad from this
point to Chicago, New York and Boston2 1t
is merely to crafty morbid jealousy of the peo-
pie Of that town, towards the people here; super
induced by the superior advantages and superior
prosperity and prospects of this locality over
that. Every ungenerous effort and secrete in
fluence is being employed by the Inhabitants ol
that town, to compass this purely pirate and
selfish object.
/ Under such circumstances, what should be
the course OF men in Iowa, who feel an interest
in the prosperity of towns in their own state
over those of a foreign slate, and who are in
fuenced by u proper degree of state pride? II
should be to put their faces against all such in
terlopers and combat these fugitipe letters will
prompt and stern rebuke, such as the Pos
hope and we certainly have right to expect
that other Post Masters in Iowa, who have re-
ceived similar communications, will pursue
like course Every consideration of interes
and Justice to themselves and to the state the,
have adopted as residence and home, i'm
|, plies such an obligation.
> The letter reads as follows.
i Yinton, Dec g
Dr. SIR have received a strong invita-
: ton to assist Galena in her struggle TO remov
the Distributing P o. from Dubuque to Galena
and if not in favor Of Galena, to Rock Island
There is not person in our County, but wha
is against the removal, and was solicited I
ask you what the citizens of Dubuque were do
ling TO counteract the deep set schemes Of Ga
lena. Amy thing we can do, in our humble ca
!, pacity we will feel ilingness TO dot is dc
il cidedly better at Dubuque than Galena for an
part Of the interior of Iowa.

read the speech, amidst deafening roars OF
laughteI)
Il can assure the honorable members that
no one could read this speech with more sur.
prise than myself did this morning, when
found the paper on my breakfast table. For
myself personally, | care but little about ii
though if were capable Of uttering such
nonsense, as is here put into nay mouth, it is
high time that, instead of being member
ofFthis House, | were an inmate Of some
lnnatic asylum. It is for the dignity of this
House that feel concerned for. Honorable
members were capable Of listening to such
nonsense surprising incapable of giving
expression 10 it, it were much more appro-
pirate 10 call this theatre for the perfor-
nance of farces, than place forsthe legis-
lative deliberations Of the representatives Of
the nation.v - -
It was proposed bYsosn ezmembers TO call
the printers Of the different papers in which
the speech appeared, to The bar of the House,
for breach Of privilege, but the matter was
eventually allowed to drop.
10 show the mistake which such jokes are
apt to cause, the MissoasiR epublican lately
published this same speech as coming from
Mr.. WiIberforce, upon bill for the anne.
Iteration of the laboring classes of Great
Britain and ireland. Mr.. WiIberforce is
made to say: s
physically. he himself presented but a
very unprepossessing specimen ofhumani1y;
But, had it not been for the Irish potato. it
would have been worse with him. Had it
not been for that invaluable escuient upon
which he was mainly raised, in body and
mind, he never could have been, incompati-
Bile with what he was, inconsiderable as he
might be in both: and to the greatpse ofthat
vegetable he attributed the superior bright
ness, shrewtIness, wit and sagacity of the
Irish over the English, who lived mostly on
roast beef and pudding"
