We are well acquainted with The edi-
tor of the Courier, and from our knowl-
edge fhim,he would be one amongs, the
last wings in the world, that we would
even suspect for ever voting for demo-
Graf; consequently we would expect no.
thing of him. but to oppose the election
of the democratic nominee, no matter
who the man might be, or where he re-
sided.
In order to quiet the honest (Dfeelings
of the heart of the CONSCIENTIOUS editor
of the Courier, and remove his only OBJ.
lection to the election of Mr.. Bonney,
we are authorized to say to him and all
others making the same objection. that
Mr.. Bonney has made transfer of his
interest in the dam and lock at Keosau-
qua, to A. l.. Bonney, cousin of his,
and that this transfer was understood
previous to the nomination by the Dem
ocratic Convention. In justice to the
wings of old Van Buren,, we must say,
that we have heard no objections made
by them to the nomination of Mr.. Bon
ney; but on the contrary, have heard
many of them say that they would vote
for him. ... #......... ....
Mr.. Bonney is an honest man, and
possesses ability sufficient to discharge
ALL the duties of Commissioner of the
Des Moines River Improveme nt-in
short, he is as good man as could have
been selected, and we have no doubt but
that he will be elected without much
observation-disclosures We see that Judge
Unah Biggs is candidate, "subject to
the decision of the voters of Iowa." for
the same office.-CDem. Union.
The editor of the Union has decided
ly the advantage ofus SO far as acquaint-
ance is concerned; but If he is as we'll
acquainted with US personally as he
seems to be, he is very far from being
acquainted with our position on the sub
jecs Of the River improvement. Our
position on that subject is pretty gener-
ally known to be. against party nomina-
lions in elections of officers of the Board
and hence we could not consistently vote
for "democratic nominee, no matter
W no the man might be, or where he re-
sided"

Extrlordi nary Outrage.

The Lagrange Missourian. of the Sd,
relates an extraordinary outrage commit.
ted at Chambersburg, Clark county. in
this State, on the 18th ult. A quarterly
meeting of the Methodist Church was
being held at that place. under the direc-
ton of j. H. Dennis, Presiding Elder of
the Hannibal district, and Rev. G. III.
Kelly, preacher in charge of the Third
and Chambersburg mission. The con.
gregation were dismissed at the close of
the morning exercises, when man call.
ing himself DR.. Trabue went forward 10
the stand, and entered INTO conversation
with MIR. Kelly, while four or FIVE con-
federates followed close in his rear
Soon after, Trabue laid his hand on KEEL
ly. and said, "You are my prisoner.
cross your hands" Here Mr.. Dennis
turned to Traoue, took hold of his arm,
and asked what he meant by such con-
duet in the house of God! Al this,
Trabue ordered his assistants to ",ie this
man." (meaning Kelly,) and cried out.
I'm the Marshal of the State OF MIS-
souri, at the same time presenting one
of Colts revolvers with the trigger set,
he threatened to shoot ans one who
would raise hand to interfere. Kelly's
friends gave way upon this declaration.
and to all attempts to obtain information
of the ground of such proceedings. he
appealed 10 his revolver, saying, that the
prisoner was base rascal imposing him
self upon the community.
After Kelly's hands were tied and his
legs chained, Trabue said, ..this man has
stolen horse, and FL take him 10 jus.
lice." He was taken out of the house,
Notwithstanding the circumstances Of
Mr.. Dennis and his friends. placed upon
horse and secured by chain being
passed under the horse and fastened on
each foot with heavy paddock. Mr..
Dennis followed on foot, and learned
that Kelly was charged with being one
of the convicis who escaped from the
Iowa penitentiary on the 23d Of Decem-
Der last. Mr.. Dennis told his informant
that this could not be the case. as be was
a, the Methodist Conference in October,
but this was dsregarded. The pretend.
ed Marshal and his assistants proceeded
as rapidly as possible to Fort Madison,
Iowa. where the peniten,iary is located,
and presented their victim to the keeper.
He at once declared tina. he was not the
man sought for--one Charles III. Kelly,
who had escaped from the penitenliary
and that he bore no resemblance to
him. He was of course disc harged; but
he must have all the meekness OF true
Christian if he permits the pretended
Marshal and his posse 10 escape from
exemplary damages for the wrongs doae
him.--Mo. Rep.

A CARD.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE STATE OF IOWA.
GENrLEMEN:-Some weeks since my
name was announced in the "Desm Dimes
Courier" as candidate at the April
election for the Office of Commissioner
of the Des MONIES river Improvement.
Who caused that announcement l did
no. ihen nor do | yet know. however
supposed a, The time j. was some friends
who were not pleased with the tickle. an.
nounced by the jorty-seven gentlemen
who assembled at Iowa City some time
previous for that and other purposes;
and that the latter ticket would meet no
organized opposition and that those
friends only intended to throw their votes
independently to me as a ompliment for
the deep interest had ever taken in the
success of this great work. But the
wide spread and lively interest expressed
fo- my election, not only in this but sew
eral other counties of the valley, seems
to require the etiquette on my part to
make bow to the public as candidate
in proper person, which. fellow citizens,
/ now do, aud pledge myself to devote
my best energies to the advancement of
the entire Vork and if elected all the
necessary labor, mentally or physically,
within the range of my humble abilities
shall be vigilanay appl ed to the final
completion of.his great Impro vemen,.
1 do no, take this position in disregard
OF The opinion expressed by the respec.
table gentlemen who met at Iowa City
above alluded 10, but in the higher re-
gard paid to ten times their number of
gentlemen of equal responsibility, and
who are equally entitled to choose the
agents to be placed in charge of the
work and are as deeply interested in its
completion. Nor is i, my design TO
show disrespect to the two worthy gen.
,lemen in the Iowa City meeting, from
Wapello county, bu. to pay due defer
ence TO the expressed will Of ten times
ten their number Of equally worthy ci.i-
zens of this county. .

thrown themselves upon the bounty Of
the President. Mr.. Dobbio has been a
member of Congress, but retired, some
years since, probably at the suggestion of
The Old North people that his services
in that particular line were no longer
wanted. Last winter, he came GU,
again, and was the nominee Of his party
for The Senate Of the United States, in
the place of Mr.. Mangum. Tha, party
had small majority on joint ballot. but
some how or other he never could mus.
ter strength enough 10 be elected some
of the Democratic brotherhood always
voting against him. This state of things
continued throughout the session, and in
consequence of the failure to elect, the
State will be without representative
for one year at least. .ss .n a
Judge Campbell is young man scarce

cratic ticket in Pennsy lvania for Judge
Of the Supreme Court, only year or
so ago, and was badly beaten by his own
friends. This, too, when his colleagues
on the ticket were elected. He was
beaten avowedly because he was of
particular religious faith, and, seeing
this. Mr.. Pierce has generously invited
him To take up his residence at Washing.

sure. in maintaining the honor of the na.
tional nag. In the administration OF do.
nestle affairs, an integrity SO marked as
never to be questioned is expected and II
not attained will result in the disappoint-
men. of his leading hopes and in. humil.
atory failure. Officers should be ap.
pointed to carry out this object. and a
claim for Office the people should never
recognize. The Presiden, announces
the sublime doctrine of having no sim
piled engagements to rasify, no rewards
TO beslow, no resentments to remember,
no personal wishes to consult, in select
ing for official stations" His oblga-
tons TO the masses and to them alone, is
acknowledged; the RICH, of the States
are affirmed, and the tendency of con.
cehtra,ion Of power in the General Gov
eminent is depica.ed; and the compro-
mise measures are fully endorsed as con-
s,itutional, right and expedient. Finally
the President recognizes the supremacy
of God, and says, "it must be felt tina,
there is no rational security but in the
nations ackno wledgemen. of God and
his everything Providence.
On the whole there are many excel.
lent suggestions in the first address of
President Pierce TO the American Peo-
pie. His position on many points is
such as was expected probably by every
one; while upon others he expresses
himself in much milder and in a more
modified form than was looked for gen.
orally. His reorganization of a Supreme
Power governing in the councils of the
nations. is eminently pious and in con-
fornlty We believe with the christian sem
,iments and professions of our people;
his hopes in reference to al honest and
pure administration of the domestic af-
fairs of the Government, if he can rea-
sonaoly entertain and build upon them,
in view Of the venality and corruption
that will surround him, and the recog-
nized principle that "to the viclors be.
long the spolls," are at least commenda-
bic in the conception and announce men,.
and We wish him the perfect realization
of them; his foreign policy though in
the main just aud right, will hardly re-
ceive the support of his party; unless in
deed he can devise some plan to acquire
the gem of the Antilles peacably, and
consistently with justice and national
honor. We canno. find any consola.
ton for young America in the inaugural;
nor anything about the financial or i'm
provemen, policy of the administration.
With these remarks we leave the docu-
ment with our readers. ........

undersigned, at considerable sacrifice, to
again launch his bark, even for brief
period, upon the troubled waters of Stale
politics. Having, in common with many
other citizens Of the State, been led to
take deep interest in the Des Moines
River Improvement. and having attended

10 well known, in common with large
numbers of the citizens of the State of
