Iowa Election.

The Iowa State Election takes place on the
first Monday in August. Our Impression is,
that the Wings will carry the State The DEM
ocrat,c leaders endorse the Nebraska outrage,
aud quarrel with those who do not. This
course, unless we are mistaken as to the quan-
tity Of pith and honor in the people Ut Iowa,
will irrevocably sink the craft that sails with
such flag at the mast head. We see that in z
number of counties union tickets have been
agreed on, formed on the Anti Nebraska ba-
sis.-Gatena Gazette.
We cai, assure the Gazette, that it II greatly
mistaken as ITO the quantity Of pith and hon
or in the Slate, if it supposes tha: Democra'
ic leaders. or the Democratic masses. are gong
to permit mere differences of opinion on the
merits Of a constitutional enactment, 10 DIVIDE
their uni ed onset against the cdaliton oppo-
s,lion. No sir, the party will be found zone
and indispensable an al the death oi one Of .the
basest and most unprincipled alliances ever
4 con onsummaled in this or any other State.

|" An old French planter in Louisiana

An old French planter in Louisiana
sent shipment of molasses to commission
merchant in New Orleans for sale. Before
the molasses was sold, the charges accumula-
ted to fifty cents per barrel more than the
value of the goods. Account sales v ere rem
dered, soliciting further consignments. The
next time the old planter made shipment.
he nailed a half dollar on the head Of each
barrel, and in advising his merchant Of the
fact, expressed hope that the additional half,
together with the barrel and contents might
defray expenses. This time things came out
just even, but judge OF the old mans surprise,
when his merchant sent him a bill for
cooperage on a consignment of cotton.

THE SEAsoS.-The opening Of the vernal
season, the season Of buds aud blossoms, has
been thus far later than usual. The weather
has been for the most part cool, and vegeta-
ton kept back two or three weeks later than
for several years. The early putting forth
Of fruit trees in the valley Of the Ohio has
frequently been attended with disastrous re.
suits. We trust the lateness OF the season
may operate bene6cially upon the crops OF
peaches, apples &C., &C., and vegetation that
is liable to be blighted by late frosts. Sew

the Due, Correspondence.

We publish to-day the Cutting and Breck-
inridgc correspondence entire. We thought
the idea literally absurd, that this corresPon-
dence would not be published, knowing that
as Congressman generally fight duels for
glory, their correspondence on such affairs is
carefully written with view Of appearing
in the newspapers sooner or later. AS this
correspondence has occasioned SO much curl
osi,y, and both parties are generally known
in the political circles, we crafty public in.
icrest by publishing the letters. We wish
also to illustrate to our readers b. this cor
respondence, what a complete farce Con.
gressional qlarrels are, especially when the
parties begin to smell powder. Here are
a couple men writing one seven and the other
eight letters, through their seconds in part,
and just as things are brought to focus, dis.
cover that neither party had the smallest in
tention of challenging the other! They
were both willing to be challenged, bat nei-
Their had the slightest disposition to be the
challenger. The challenged party, had of
course the choice of weapons. And there
lies the secret. One Of the parties assumes
to be challenged and chooses rifles, because
he is aware the other knows nothing of the
use of the weapon. But the other party like.
wise assumes to stand in the defence, and
being crack shot with the pistol, is very
willing to crafty his antagonist in that way
So the gentlemen being each evidently fully
determined not to fight with his opponent,
weapon, which he should be compelled to d.
did he challenge the other. were very quick
ly brought to terms. They referred eacl
OIL her TO letters written at the opening of tn,
correspondence, which by some remarkabl,
legerdemain now read perfectly proper an
very satisfactorily. So they wind up by ex
pressing their mutual, unalloyed, overwhelm
ing satisfaction at the adjustment Of thei
difficulties. 1t reads just like play, for al
. the world, and shows very graphically hos
= men are made notorious nowadays.
