COOL.

The Auxiliary Wing Print Of this city says,
that the Democrats of Jackson county should
te,care ho,o issues that hare nothing to do ,oith
the election are thrust into It,.
This is most excellent advice, but the misfor-
tune is, that what is applicable to one section
does not seem to be to another,-that what
this srhite-soashed democrat applies to Jackson,
he viii not apply to Dubuque. II it is wrong
tor the democrats of Jackson county to introduce
ISSUES that hare nothing to do ,ch the election,
it 10 equally wrong for democrats in Dubuque to
introduce such .'issues;;" yet we find this patri
otie aud democratic Hercules daily counseling
our democratic friends in this city, not to vote
their political sentiments, but to throw away
their votes upon mere local ehimera. The Ole
rule is reversed, that ",chat is sauce TOR tn.
goose is sauce for the gander!"
But, as the conductors of this establishment
have acquired the reputation of presenting te
the public many faces in their German publica
ton, we suppose we must not be too particular
about the number Of faces they present in theil

TROUBLE IN THE BRITIsH WEST INDIES
A i, tier from correspondent in Tobago, West
Indies, received by merchant in this city
gives the following alarming account Of The
condition of affairs there
Tobago, Gath January, 1854.
The present is rather an anxious time for the
inhabitants OF poor Tobago Her Majcsty's
troops have been withdrawn from this and other
small islands, without allowing sufficient time to
prepare for so important change. The peo-
pie have been excited by mischievous sugges-
tons and diaboiical threats, and every one has
found it prudent to live with arms prepared for
the worst. On Saturday night last. within
few hours of the time fixed for its preparation,
a most feudish plot was discovered, and the
ringleader captured: 1t was arranged iha, s'be
fore morning, Scarborough was to be made ss
hot as hell" 1t was expected that the white
inhabitants of the island as on former occa-
sion, would all flock to town to assist in putting
out the fire, &c, and then, in the crowd and
confusion, they were to be assassinated.
worse fate was reserved for their wives. One
joe Arthur was the contrivrr and leader of this
conspiracy The confederates were almost all
Bydlans. The examinations are not yet con-
cluded, and the disclosures sn horrible that
the public mind is in fever of excitement. |

We learn by private advices from Norway
that the people of that country are suffering
greatly from famine. Norway has heretofore
obtained her breadsluffs principally from Dem

sides with the Western Powers in the coming

country cannot now be had for less than So 80

UNNECESSARY ALARM.

We clip an article from the "Anamosa News
and give it place in our columns, headed sGEN.
DoDGE KILLED BY MS FRiENps." This ar.
ticle complains bitterly, that Pr ointment friends
Of the General, are Safeguarding the editor OF
the (" News" and calling in question his demo-
cracy, because Of his opposition to the Me-
braska Bill; and it assures the General and the
said friends, that such a course of conduct will
be certain to defeat him for Senator next VIM
ter.
We have seen no lackguardism heaped upon
any one, who has interposed respectable op
position to the Nebraska Bill. The violence
and black guardism, according 70 our reading,
= has come from the opposition to this measure.
f<-xe mistake not, the editor of the "News" has
displayen-s>s full share of piolencs OF temper,
without @"ch re.-au, upon this subject. His
language, whenever hen-s venlured to speak
upon this subject, has been mars>d by an excess
Of passion and extravigance and q rs~sentabIe
poverty Of logic and mildness. He has app.;sd
the terms base iniquity and traitor, to those
who favor it; and we suppose, because no one
has thought it of sufficient Importance to give
the editor a SHINING for his pains, be now at
tempts, by insidiousiy assaling Gen. Dodge,
to acquire notoriety, which his wordy illusions
upon the Nebraska " iniluity" failed to make
Tor him. The truth is, the friends of the Ne
bfaska Bill, from first, to last; from the Senate
Chamber, to the club room; and from the larg
est journals, to the most abscure prints, have
uniformly treated this subject with the utmost
regard for argument, candor and mildness,
while the opposition has appealed eloquently to
the passions ard has dealt in misre presentation
violence and detraction. This will be apparent
to every candid man who examines both sides
OF the question.
But, permit US Mr.. News" to enquire for
information, what the election Of Gen. Dodge,
to the Senate, has to do with this question, or
what he has TO do with the opinions Of the DEM
ocratic press Of Iowa, upon this subject? Our
neighbor talks as though the Senate Chamber
was an immense manufacturing establishment,
where Senators are made TO order and es though
the General exercises sort Of Czarship over
the timid and scribe editorial corps of the
State. We are happy 10 inform the editor, that
he is mistaken, if he thinks the democracy Of
Iowa and the nation viii not approve Of the
course Of Gen. Dodge, upon this subject, or if
he places so poor an estimate upon the intelli
gencs and integrity Of the General, as to sup
pose, that he would seek to easiacc or corrupt
