a. The Dubuque Tribune is sounding the
saliy-ery 70 The wings and earnestly striving to
convince them that the party is not dead-only
in trance. II wants to ashow to the world
that they are yet united" tsome Of Hercules
Jobs would be nothing to this) and that they can
ssyet make their action felt in the land Very
true: they may still do this. And let US there
fore remember that, though the bright blade of
democracy, in it's terrible descent, severed in
twain the great wing party, yet,
"We've scotch'd the snake, not kill'dit
ehssl close and be HERSELF"
il democracy forgets to be itself-vigilant, har-
monious and active, watchful Of the people,
rights and strong to maintain them. We will
not wisely sleep. Or, if we do, let it be upon our
arms. Let us not, by inaction, impair our
strength, nor, By too great confidence in our
power, allow divisions and unkind feeling among
ourselves, TO weaken the efficiency of our or
ganization and take from the chances Of success,
when the day Of battle comes.
We trust, then, that the democracy Of Du-
buque will deem il important to the good of the
people and the party, to attend generally at thei,
county convention on the 9th Of July, to select
good men for their candidates. and to unite har.
noniously and vigorously for their election. :
Come up to the work braveiy, and the baffied
divided, but re uniting wing party will, as o
gore, quail before your gallant front.

az The Burlington Haukeye is in extacies
over the new poetical celebrity, Alexander
Smith. He has '.the strength Of Shakespeare,
the fire of Chlde Harold and the coloring oil
Keats" ("Childe Harold being inserted here
between the names of two men, we infer that he
read Of We shall try to remember MIR. "Chil-
de Harold's ire.") All living poets must
epale their Intellectual" light before the over
shadowing lustre OF this rising star. Tennyson,
the absolute royalty among living English oets,
is unceremoniously forced from his throne by
the wonderful critic of the Hankeye, who has
placed thereon and decked with bays the des-
cendant of the Smiths. Our critic introduces
Mr.. Smith with such grand flourish of trum
pets and is so perfectly carried away-as a fea-
ther by the rapid tide-oy the gorgeous and
symmetricalIb beauties of the poet, that one would
suppose that he knew all his poems, yea, even to
last line Of them, by heart: and no one
would for moment fancy that he had never
read the aforesaid poems at ALL But it is even
thus: our neighbor found fine critic sm of Mr..
Smiths Poems in the Westminster Reu,eo of
April, in which criticism great many extracts
from the poems were inserted. Our neighbor
could not resist the temptation TO get repnta-
ton as a critic, so he reviews for US Mr. Smith
extracts. as found in the Rccien, aud dances
over their beauties in understandable extasies.
He is careful to select those extracts which the
Reuiep most especially commended for their
beauty and those that are the best filled with
italics which The Reviewer used to indicate the
fine images.
This shows that the Ha,ckeye critic is man
of prudence. He has accepted the hints of the
Reviewer to the fullest extent. The only thing
we regret is, that the Hamkeyc did not employ
the language with which the Rerieac introduces
the ''extracts," instead of substituting his own
his readers have suffered by this negligence.
This thing of climbing into estimation on the
capital Of other persons, is thing ptiable, to
say the least, if not contemplate. The Ha,ok-
eye, however, seems ambit' ous Of being consid-
cred great reviewer: SO it gives US criticism
on the poems Of Alexander Smith, (whom, for
forgetting to look into the Review we'll enough,
it styles "the young English Poet he being
Scnt) which it found rcut and dried" in the
Westminster RerisD. Then it strokes itself
complacentiy, and seems to exclaim, "look at
me, once, will you? amt some !? amt I a cri
tic for your"
We should have found no objection to the
Hawkeye's making itself famous in this way
it might have "had all the fun to itself If it
had not gone out of its way to cast miserable
sneer at a poet, the meanest Of whose claims to
our regard is, that he is laurel-crowned

u Our "City Fathers are not in favor of
free trade. We infer this from their having
given to one man the monopoly of the butcher
ing business. As things are now, only one
person, Mr.. Nicholas, is allowed to sell meat in
the market house. We think Inconvenience
must grow out of this arrangement. The chan
ces for getting good meat must of course, be
lessened; for tits natural that man should not
sell as good an article, at the same prce, when
there is no competition in the market, as when
there is. Neither are we always sure of a
supply equal to our wants: it might happen,
occasionally, II at steamboat, coming along,
would buy all the meat in the market, and leave
the citizens minus their breakfast steaks and
their dinner roasts For our part we are in
favor of an application Of the principles of"free
trade and butchers rights in this matter of

The friends of this road are active, and
will push il through. The Company is al.

will subscribe 1iberally. The object is tc
build the road, and connect it with The Pa

much Of that road as runs through johnson

road, and building one of their own, it i.
thought the Pacific road will connect with
them at Boonville, thence TO Lexington, and
from there to Kansas, in jackson county,
