regarded than libelty. The character of the people became venal. setvile and bfu
 tai. Most of the high old virtues of the 6panish cliaracteF disappeared. The coS l0niss having been annexed by the sword and worked by forced labor insfead of bY free emigration, proved curses rather than bIessingS. From that hour Spain began to decline. The decay was liltls apparent outwardly for century and q half but t went 0n internally with q |frighsfnl rapidiky. The Government bad become despolic, manufactures had des clinea. even agriculture was neglected. Al last. like . tree, rotten to the core, and which . tempest has struck, Spain began b lose limb after limb. Mexlco, Bolivia, Peru, Chill, and Buenos Ayres fell away the French invaded her soil; i; and. but for England. she would have become . permanent appendags of Ma. poleOn's crown. s
 America is not so powerful, even yet. as Spain was three centuries ago; yet Spain has already sunk to the lowest depths of degradation. Spain rose more, over. as America has done. through the reign of free institutions. She fell by entering on course of policy similar 10 that which is now proposed for America. So long as Spain honored labor. and made var only in . just cause, 50 long she prOspered. But when she lent her sword 10 wanton .conquest. and took to living on tho spells of captive nations. she began immediately to decline. It is q pregnant warning. A great law lies at the heart of Spains decline. That law is. that t either nations or individuals neglect productive indusiry, md seek in- stead !o shine by unIawful gains, they in, evitably go 10 rnia.

 The bow that ou iis bosom elows The sun thas lighss the vault on high,
 The stars Ii midnights calm sepose These praise the Power that archesl the sky, And robed the earth in beauty dye. The melody of Nsgnre's choir,
 The deepaonsd anthems of the sea, The wind that tunes yiewless tyre, E The zsphgf on its pinidns free. The thunder with its thrilling nossss
 The peal upon tho mountain air The lay that through the foliage Beats, Or sinks in dying cadeDce there. These all to Thee their voices raise A fervent song of gushing praise. The day.star, herald of the dawn,
 As the dark shadows Ait away The tint upon the cheek Of morn,
 The dew-drop gleaniing on the spray-& From wild birds in their wanderings, From stseanleis leaping to ths ssa, From all earth's fair and lovely things, Doth living praise ascend 10 thee: These with their silent tongues proclaim he varied wonders of Thy Aanle.

HON. AUGUSTUS HALL

The election of this gentleman to Congress his
antiNebraskA competitor Mr. Clarke seems 10 be general
~ conceded
This must be peculiarly gratifying to tbs
fearless advocates Of sound democratic principles Mr.
Hall has proved himself only able but willing TO yield
such principles Jealous and efficient support This result
Is not without another significant lesson it demonstrate.
that true policy, less than honesty dictates
the open avowa and fearless advocacy of sound principles
however loud the clamor and furious the hostility with
which they may be assaed
Mr.. Han was nominated az a Nebraska man /; the con-
yenton that placed him before the people eschewing
mid policy passed resolutions endorsing the great pn-
cps Of popular sovereignty contained in the Nebraska
Kansas bill
Mr. Ball not only accepted the position and occupied The
platform but defended It's principles openly before the
of his ellow-citizens The issue was distinctly
made the misrepresentation of opponents
posed their specou arguments reuted and the right OF
the people arrange and settle their vim
dictated No in doubt as TO the position Of the
candidate his principles and yet he has succeeded in
spite of the combined opposition Of the wings and abo-
touists
This demonstrates that cur general defeat in Iowa was
caused by the Nebraska measure
That may have furnished the reext for open
hostility treachey instances but upon
that issue alone the State could be carried tomorrow r-
umphantly.
If the ooaionsts don't believe this let them resign and
try il again
The democracy Of the nation will find Mr. Hall like the
present incumbent Hon. Bernhart Henn) sound reliable
democrat at all times with the sagaciy understand and
the defend his party and its principles That the
interests OF Iowa and the West viii find in him jealous
and efficient advocate, no doubts
In fact half suspect that few real wings greatly
grieved at the Of gentleman of ability, who will
stand by the constitution and the Union.
