For the Chronicle.
A WORD TO THE LADIES.
BY BELL KLAPPER.

BY BELL KLAPrER.
I'll give you, Ladies' young and old
Some happy speculations;
That have occurred as I've been told,
'Mong womens' regulations.
You all have heard know full well,
OF Womans rights, progressing;
But this, do no: mean TO tell
Will prove twolold blessing.
Far from it, if the coast was clear,
And Woman ruled co.equal;
Why, Man would cease to be sincere;
Then what would be the sequel:
Nought but contention and dismay
Would fill each peaceful dwelling;
When one went, 'tother wouldn't stuy,
And neither would bear telling.
Now, strife and discord should be quell'd
Before it gets to thunder;
Though Womqn should not be expelld,
Or triAingly knocked under.
But listen Ladies, while tell
This pleasant little dapper;
If Woman eer would be the bell,
Why, Man must be the clapper.
Then if in unison and law,
They harmonize most sweetly;
But if they each contain flaw,
II will spoil the whole completely.
If each one knows what work to do,
Then, without any bother,
They gently pass liie's journey through,
Dependent OF each other.
But maidens, ye who never yet
Have trod the path OF sorrow;
With oil your jewels richly set,
Toglcam SO bright to morrow,
Don't strive too hardly to be bellies,
Arruyed in morning wrappers;
You'd flush to own the truth, which tells
. Your Mas must be the clappers
Better be self dependent, now.
While youth and health are lett you,
Than TO be humbly forced TO bow,
With no one to direct you---
But hurk! methinks heard one say,
IL wish that could nab her,
I'd teach her how to give fair play,
That sancy, lert Bell Klapper"
1t can't be helped, must speak out,
l think just whit I've told you;
But ii you'll mind whatyou'rc about
I'll have no room to scold you..--
III have 10 change my name, l will,
Or else be termed a rapper;
My tongue is loose, cant be still
While ever I'm Bell klapper.

APOLOGIES.

There are no less than two apologies in the
Auxiliary Whig of this morning, for what ap-
peared in its columns Of the day beforej one IN
relation to the unauthorized use of Judge Dyers
name and one virtually denying that the Hon
John G Shields, belongs to The Legislative Del
egation from this county On Tuesday the
editor Of this organ assailed the Legislative
/. Delegation from this county, as unworthy o
their places. Last evening Mr. Shields called
on the editor and this morning he says he die
not mean Mr. Shields.
How could the editor assail the Dele alton
as he did by employing the word Delegation ant
not mean Mr.. Shields, who is a member of the
Delegation? .The way of the transgressor Il
hard" 1t is generally the case, that one mis-
representation requires another to balance ih'
account

TOWNSHIP MEETING-JULIEN DEMO
CRACY

O, Saturday, 9Th inst, the Democrats held
Township Meeting at the Court House, Hon
Lincoln Clark in the chair. The object of the
call was, to select delegates to the County
Conv ntion; the object of majority OF the
meeting wa s, to select anti-Jones delegates to
the Convention. The antics trlumphed by a
large majority.
In the report, we notice that, on the motion
of b. M. Samuels, Esq, it was voted that the
proceedings be published in the Democratic
papers of this city We do not know, "ior
certain" but we have the impression, that Esq.
Samne Is is Jones man, and If so, we believe
this is the FIRST recognition of the Herald as
Democratic paper by ary of the leaders of the
Jones party of Julien.-[ Dubuque Tribune
The editor of the Tribune frequently shoots
wide of the mark He has certainly done so in
the above comment on the proceedings OF the
Township meeting. To our certain knowledge
eight out of 22 delegates were friendly 10 the
lre-election of The Hon. Geo w Jones to the
Senate.
The question OF Jones or anti Jones was not
raised in this meeting. II was simply a coming
! together of the friends Of Gov Hempstead, and
an expression in his favor for Congress

THE ROCK ISLAND BRIDGE.

~
The st. Louis Chamber of Commerce has
passed the following resolution in relation to
a matter IN which the West is interested.
{ Resolved, that it is absolutely necessary for
rshs vast internal commerce Of the Valley Of
the Mississippi, that the nayi CATION of the Miss
issIPpi, river should be wholly unohstrucied,
and remain free from all dangers thereto, to the
extent guaranteed by the compact with the
severel States of which it is the common boun-
dary.
Resolved, That as the bridge now in the
course of construction at Rock 1sIand il re-
presented to be of such character as will en-
danger, obstruct, and possibly destroy. vast and
Important branches Of Western Commerce. and
Is in direct violation Of the vested legal rights
Oft the citizens Of the Mississippi Valley and OF
the Union, as judioially deiermind by the Su.
preme Court Of the United States; and as We
believe that no bridge can be constructed at
Rock Island that is not liable 10 those objections
we deem it to be the duty Of the city of ST.
Louis, and of all other cities on the Mississippi
river, and of all the States whose citizens are
Immediately interested in western commerce
to take such measures as may be just and proper,
to prevent injury to, or destruction Of any
branch of said commerce.
Resolved, That these resolutions be CON-
municated to the Mayor ofthe city Of St Louis,
to be by him laid before the City Council to the
end that the proper city authorities may in
stitute inquiries and secure concert of action,
and cooperation on the part of the various
States, cities, and persons Interested, and if
need be, cause to be Instituted such legal pro-
ceedings in the United States Courts, as will
secure, for nll time to come, the free and unob-
strueted navigation of the Mississippi river,
