"HARD TIMEs.woRsE COMING.

The price of -four in this city, is now eleven

THE DAVENPORT GAZETTE ON
TEMPERANCE.

In the Davenport Gazette Of the l4th inst,
we are treated to over half column Of easy
going criticism upon our temperance notions
There is but one passage in this article that
requires any notice and that is the following:
"How is public opinion ever to become in
favor Of Temperance, or any other reform, uii-
less its advocates acquaint the public mind with
the subject of reform! And yet no sooner is
that attempted, than the Dubuque Express and
kindred prints cry out, it is introducing Tenn
perance into politics and they will have none OF
IT."
We will attempt 10 answer the question here
propounded. Acquaint the public mind as much
as you can with the subject Of reform. Send
out your lecturers in every direction but instruct
them before they start, TO handle the subject
with discretion and to deport themselves prop
ely before their fellow men. Address the ques,
ton to the moral sense and accountability OF
every individual. Let christian denominations
make it, as it is, religious duty 10 correct the
evil Admonsh families to reject it frem their
houses and tables. sEnlist actively the females
Of the land in its advocacy. Discourage by all
honorable means a traffic in the article. Make
if you will, the use or sale of it, test of res
probability. All this can be done, without drag
ging the subject into politics and making 1t the
theme for Incorporate, Improbable and expen-
sive legislation, or adopting precedent to'
parties and Legislatures, which unnecessarily
abridges the rights Of men and is calculated te
excite their worst passions in active opposition
As well might Legislative Assembly pass
law that no young lady should marry unde
twenty FIVE, because early marriages are said t'
be Injurious that the sale Of tobacco should b
restricted, because boys and weak constitution
are impaired by the use of it; that druggist
should be prohibited from keeping and retailing
opium, because individuals in the communit.
destroy health ard life by the improper use o
Il that every man and woman shall nt.ene
church on Sunday, because the example OF re
naming at home is injurious to the rising gene
ration. These are moral questions which appea
10 the sense and propriety Of every individual
and which legislation has nothing of right to d.
with. Still they involve the same principle
though not to the same extent, that the question
of temperance involves. Make the subjec
of temperance a question for parties to tampe
with aud fight over, and you will find men ar
rayed in bitter hostility to each other, the hall
of legislation theatre for violent and pro6tlrs
contention and the evils Of drinking promote
in proportion to the stringency Of the law adop
ted.
We can see no good to result from politica
Itemperance.

THE EASTERN MAILS.

Our mails for the East leave here now at FIVE
O'Clock in the morning, direct for Warren, and
arrive At Chicago BY half past seven in the eve
ming Of the same day. They are again despatch
ed East from Chicago At nine o'clock the same
evening.
Our mails from the East still come on the old
route, by way Of Galena, and occupy eighteen
hours longer than going East, but they will be
put on the direct route in few days.
Notwithstanding the detention caused by the
circuit to Galena, we and several other citizens
received letters at one o'clock yesterday the
(l7th) which were mailed at Washington City
on the l4th and from New York City the 18th
The New York mail was one day behind time
and both would have reached here in the after
noon Of Thursday the 10Th if brought direc
from Warren here. By the first Of March, wher
the cars resume two trips day between Warren
and Chicago, we expect all delays and impedi-
mcnts on that route will be overcome, and ou
Eastern malls will be rescued from the claws o
the cake and beer Erieans Of Houghton Bay.
We are indebted 10 our fellow-citizen MIR
HUFF, for the expedition with which our mai
goes East.

THE HARBOR TEST.

An editorial in the Auxiliary Print, day or
two since, proposed that the Harbor improve.
ment should be made a test in tbs selection Of
candidates for city officers in April.
We are decidedly opposed 10 any such divi-
sion Of parties, or plan for testing questions.
If there is desire among any consider
able portion of the voters Of this city, to
have this question tested, let the naked
question 90 TO to the people, that they may
vote distinctly for, or against the present, or
new plan of improvement. question of SO
much importance in City OF 1000 Inhabitants,
as to obliterate for the time being all political
organizations, il seems to US, deserves to be
made distinct and independent question at the
ballot box and not left to any uncertainties
which may attach to the opinions of individu-
ais. If any radical changes are to be effected
in the improvement Of the Harbor, it should be
done with the concurrence Of u majority OF the
citizens and not by virtue of any arbitrary de-
crees from the Board. To do this efectually,
the question itself must be put 10 the citizen and
not through the medium Of certain individuals,
whose opinions are underlined and perhaps not
matured.
We can discover no benefit to result from
movement Of this kind. There are good men
belonging to both political parties, who would
be guided in their official career by sense of
Justice TO themselves and regard for the bes
interests of the City at large. Let such men be
| selected by both parties and We have nothing to
fear. We have such men belonging vt0u~ Me
Democratic party and we deqinao see them
io IIqete2 md We have no idea that the efforts o.
10 Auxiliary, will deter democrats from selec
NO them when the time arrives. We are moi
the secretes of that concern, but the PROPOSE
on from that quarter to nmalgamate parties, is
sinous that there is some treachery on hand
is invariably the case, that the Democrat
krty get cheated whenever they enter into any
mbnations Of this kind, and as the Dubuque
erald is better whig than democratic paper
would caution democr ats to receive its coun
l. with considerable reluctance.

excited Germans and Others, who were yelling
and making every other demonstration Snort
of violence under the window of A. Bollman,

outrage was that some recently arrived emigrant

with his passage here, and when requested to

hHE ADVERTISED MAIL ROUTE BE
TWEEN DUBUQUE AND IOWA CITY.


Our attention has been called 10 the eposed
ange in the mail route from this point to Iowa
Pty. The existing contract provides that the
ails shall be taken by way Of Marion and &C.
j Rapids in Linn County, while the advertis-
lettings the present year, provides that the
ails shall be taken by the way Of Ivanhoe,
wing Marion and Cedar Rapids 80 me miles to
right.
This change we understand has created quite
excitement In Linn County. 1t il not sur
hing that 1t should have done SO, for it is
common hardship, that, az district in
creases in population, wealth and business, its
mail facilities should be diminished. Linn Co.
has population Of over ten thousand Benton,
the county West of it, is populous and rapidly
growing; Marion and Cedar Rapids, are towns
containing some eight hundred inhabitants each
all of which are to be seriously injured by this
new arrangement, if carried out, while not
single town of any Importance, nor scarcely 20
families are to be particularly benefited by the
direct route, 1t is true that it is few miles
further, to 60 by way of Marion and Cedar
Rapids to reach Iowa City, but as mail routes
are established for the convenience and advan.
tage OF the people, the object should be, if all
cannot be accommodated, to accommodate the
greatest number. The route as it now exists
accommodates ten times the number Of people,
that the proposed Iteration would conmo
date, while the distance il not increased to ex-
coed twelve miles.
In lieu ofthe present arrangement, it is propo.
sed to give these populous counties and towns
a tri- weekly mail from Fairview and Scion, two
obscure points on the route.
Aside from the injustice 10 the people Of Linn
and Benton, by this proposed alteration, Dubuque
has direct interest in keeping up the present
connectio with Marion and Cedar Rapids, and
if possible supplying the present tri-weekly,
with daily mail. Marion and Cedar Rapids,
are towns of no inconsiderable importance
They do thriving business and are growing
rapidly. 1t is important to preserve connec-
ton with them and there is no better way of do
ing it, than BY daily line of stages running to
those points. 1.-THE people in that region, are
cut off from all d ect mail connection with u
and are brought in connection with Muscatine,
or Davenport, as a matter Of course their SYM
pathes will turn in that direction and their trade
will naturally follow in the same channel
We have heard it surmised by individuals Of
Linn county, that the Delegation in Congress
were censurable for this proposed change. We
do not pretend to know what has been the course
Of the Delegation, but We have no doubt the
suggested change has been made without their
knowledge and that when the facts are laid full
| " before the Department, the matter will be
GIFTED.
We rely with all confidence upon favorable
issue Of this question.
