6TFriend Gressinger has at last heard
that there was an election in Iowa. He was
long enough hearing of it, but it is likely bet
ter late than never. In an article last week
headed "a whig victory in horn," he show d
that the election, altho' terrible rebuke to
the Brigadisr and his cohorts, is not so bad
as il might have been. He says that several
Democrats were elected to Office On the State
.icket--so they were, but they were anti
Nebraska, snti-Administrstion Democrats. -
But later advicss show that the victory for
the Anti-Nebraskans is as complete and glo.
rious as was at first claimed.

q part Of the United Ststss;--must pay part
Of the federal dsbts;--the Legislatures oftho
new States shall never interfere with the pri-
mary dispose! Of the soil--nor with any reg
ulstions which Congress may find necessary
for securing the title in such soil to bona fde
purchasers; the number Of States is prescri-
bed by Congress. and the number Of inhabi-
tants required before State can apply for
admission. Fidh--there shall be neither
slavery nor involuntary servitudc except for
the punishme.t Of crime, &c. Now we do
not pretend to say that the Continental Con-
gress was wrong for interfering in the do
mestic institutions OF the North Western ter
ritory, nor tina, the ;st Congress, composed,
ssitwa in q great measure of the trainers Of
the Constitution, knew nothing of the true
intent and meaning Of the provisions of the
Constitution. We censure no one, praise no
one, out merely contrast the Republcanism
Of 'S7 and 's9 with the Democracy of 1854
How great the contrast-how marked the
change. Those articles Of compact are each
and every one Of them a direct interference
in the domestic affairs of the new territory
But modern democracy in this District says
Congress has no right to do ths--the ques-
tion, therefore, is, which are right the trainers
Of the Constitution or the Democratic inter.
prsters Of II, Of the year 1854.
The doctrine Of non-intervention bids fair
to take q now tack and act like the
"Gun which aimed at duck or plover
Recoilcd and kicked its owner over"
There seems a probability that an occasion
will sosn arise for an application of this doc
trine, which will leave the Democracy in O
woeful situation. We have every reason to
believe ths. Utah with her horrible institu.
tion efpolygamy will, ere long apply for ad
mission ss . State. When that loathesome,
unchristian, demoralizing social vice seeks to
be received into the confederacy where will
the Democracy stand! Non-intervention il
thsir avowed principle, snow and forever"--
hsw will they act! Time will show wheth.
er they are willing to stand or fall with their
darling offspring, "non-intervention."

Know NorHInes IN BALTIMoRE.--A Balti-
more correspondent ofthe Richmond Bulletin
writes:
81 learn that the Know Nothings are nc-
lively engaged in preparing for the fall elec-
ton; they will soon make q nomination. for
Mayor. That this mysterious party is strong
in Baltimore cannot be doubted. They claim
to have seventeen thousand members within
the city limits and expect to elect their May
or by 5000 or 5000 majority. The entire
state of Maryland is full of them, and they
are said to be increasing with wonderful ra-
pdty."

Henry T. Commages has been nominated
for Congress by the Democrats of the Toledo
district. Before proceeding to ballot for
candidate, Mr.. Commages made a speech
against the Nebraska bill, and denied that he
was a pro-slavery Democrat. TIE Tsledo'
Republican says the resolutions passed by
the convention con the subject of slavery are
radical in the Gin. Gazette.

0CTThe Editor of the Gazette says our
"plea is that the Catholics are terrible set."
We do that very thing, and to prove they are
a terrible set we need not 60 very far out of
our way. When s. S. Cor, Esq, was So
journi ,g in Europe, he wrote divers and sun
dry letters home to the Ohio Statesman, which
letters by the way, we're very interesting -
From one of these letters we take the follow
ing
"iihnll Popcry, the joint tool Of France and Aus

neither, forever crush the energies OF myriads OF

This same Mr. Cor, is now one of the editor,
Of the Statesman d. Democrat, and is luudine

"NO SOciety.''

Mr.. EDITOR: How often do we hear
the above expression -"No society in
California;" Croakers will NOPE about
their lodging places, and tell every one
they see, that there is ''no society in Cali
fornia." They admire the climate, soil,
products, minerals, scenery, &c, but de-
plore the want of society.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | will submit it to
you, if it is not provoking to be bored by
one of these for an hour; and after you
have done your best to interest and please
him, to have hIm tell you as he leaves,
that there is no society in this country?
No society," Why all classes are here.
All grades of society move around US.
The ignorant, the educated, the highly
accomplished, the debased, the respected,
the honored, the profane, the moral, the
pi6us, all, all are here. He who com,
plains of no society has not made proper
effort to find kindred spirit.
Are you grog drinker? you certainly
can not complain for want Of society.
Are you a profane man? you have hun.
dreds around you ready to swear for a
wager. Are you Sabbath breaker? yon
are certainly not nearly alone in this
country.
But, say you, 81 am neither of these;
am moral man" Well, then, can't you
find scores just like you, all about here?
Have you tried to find them? They are
here, you may be we'll assured of that
hunt them up!
But, says another, 81 am religions,
wish to lead pious life, and love to see
piety prosper" Well, thank God, there
are ga few more left of the same sort,'
ana if you have not found them out, you
have not made very diligent inquiry
Shall a truly religious man complain of
want of society? Why man, 60 to work
in the name of your master and bring
about the better state of things which you
desire. If your religion is worth any
thing, you have promise of Divine aid in
/ this worthy cause. O., do not let us hear
pious person croaking about lack Of So
ciety. Stir out of your resting places;
let the people see and hear and know who
you are and what you are; call on all we'll
disposed citizens to come to your aid; and
be not weary in well doing, nor cease your
real missionary efforts, till you see good
people focking into your nelghborhood.
We doubt the sincerity of many ofthese
discontented ones. Do you wish good
society? Then help those who are stri-
wing to discourage vice and to encourage
virtue. Then, as sure as truth is mighty
and will prevail, so sure will your united
efforts meet with success.
Now, | say, let US have good society in
Auburn Let us have it this summer.
Let this be made so plain that the most
fastldious shall see it and be satisfied Let
him who agrees with me, talk with his
next door neighbor about it; let this be
the theme of the leisure hour; let it be
clearly understood that we do hare and
,cM huae good society in this county
Then shall these croakers sing another
song. Then shall the good grow better
and better, and we will swap off some for
those more desirable. RoMEs.
