IOWA,


Iowa l. hasteniag to place hersclf ia the
from, ranks of the coas-desacy. Twenw-
five ycsrs AGO it was wilderness, tenant
ed only by the Indian. In lsto it contain
ed lSli2 white Inhabitants, and in 1850 its
population had Increased to 1924. Du-
ring the same year j, had s2i,6so acres
under Improvement. AMI the assessed value
cf IL farms was 4l6.e5T ,567. In this
State to-day are more than any thousand
horses aud preportionate number Of cat
tie; one hundred and seventy thousand
sheep and halt million Of swine; while
the value Of live stock cannot be short OF
I've millions of dollars. |, now yields an
nusily upw ards OF two millions bushels oil
Indian corn. lss territory embraces my
thousand square miles, or four thousand
more than the Empire State, and while u
has only four or I've persons TO The square
mile, New York has nearly seventy. There
sre now a million aad half acres Of rich,
productive land in the State of Iowa that
are unimproyed. "when all her asricultu-
raj resources are developed; when she ships
her hundred million bushels Of corn, an
naally, BY one or more Of her Pacific Rail
roads 10 China and the islands along the
route, then will the Union feel enriched ey
,hc Iowa link in the bright chain OF wes'
tern commonwealth
We have ,lready referred 70 table
showing the sales OF public lands IN the
Western States for the year ending June
so,h, 1855. In j, Iowa takes the lead,
having sold a,a7a,.sa acres, al an amount
of S4O5s,ela. In point OF acres Missouri
stands next, but owing to the great disparity
hetween free and slave territory, falls be-
hind other western States in the amount
received. While the lands in Iowa were
generally sold s, near government pHce, IN
Missouri. owing to the ban OF slavery I'M
der which she rests, they only averaged
forty-ihree cents per acre. The LANDS
sold in Wisconsin,, free State, averaged
about one dollar twelve and half cents per
acre, while those disposed of in Alabama
b-ough, less than thirty cents per acre
Facts are stubborn things, aud Their ten
dency is 10 show the depreciation of every
thing with which slavery comes in contact
aud vet there is school Of partisan Politi-
Clans in eur land, of pretended devotion to
their coan,ry's interests, who to saoserye
their own sinister ends are wiling to spread
the pail OF slavery over vast extent OF our
country and thus reduce in value territory
rha, nigh, otherwise be free.

The Indiana State Journal, speaking Of
the opposers Of the Temperance Law. says;
"They may rant. shout "invade bed
chambers" and the "hberty Of our fathers"
but its worse than useless in the face Of this
one fact The old liners in this city. al
most to man, and the old members
OF the City Council. urged the reduction
Of the police force on the groand that
the prohibitory law had SO diminished
the amount Of police business, that SO great
a number was unnecessary. This was the
argument, and 1t embodies a most signifi.
cant admission of the benefcent operation
OF the law. This fact overweighs thous-
and speeches, and whenever old line orators
attack the prohibitory law in this city they
do in the very face Of the evidence of their
own friends"

Tlnrs Is an old Arabian fable which runs
thus Jus. after our first parents had sim
ned and were driven from Paradise, in their
wanderings they came upon tho barninS
sands Of Arabia. Their feet wero blssered
and sore, and, weary and sorrOwial' they
sank down upon the earth and wero lost in
slumtcr. While they lay there, an angel
passed by, and, plying their desOlfo and
lonely condition, scattered seeds OF troes
and flowers abOu. them as they slept, and
then went on his way. BY and by, Satan,
in his wandsrines up and down the earth,
passed that way, and, looking upon the
sleepers, said, Adam I know, Eve know,
and thes burning sznds know" but,
looking a. the seeds. he said, "what are
,heso" And no. knowing what they were,
no though. IL best to cover them out o.
sight, so with his elovcn foot, ho covered
them with earth. Presently they took root
md spang up; snd when our FIRST parents
awoke they found themselves IN the mids!
GA beautiful oasis there wero green Trees
waving over their heads, and flowers and
fruits around them, and everything was
beautiful So tho enemies OF freedom in
this country have been covering up tho seeds

AS HE DESERVES.

The Portland Transcript, paper OF high
reputat;on and largo circulation, admins
ters the following plain and just remarks to
the Portland Argus.
"AS ESENy TO Law And ORDER. Inc
Argus has lost its temper, and with II lis
discretion. Unable to relute the charge VIC
have brought against il, seeks to destroy
their force BY falsely charging us with par
,zanship, II seeks shelter behind its party,
and tells its readers to beware Of us! 1t
seems TO fear that We shall tell the truth
abou, its course in regard TO the riot, and
tina, its readers will believe Us lift does not
first destroy their faith in our verac'ty.-
This is precious confession Of lack Of faith
in the Justice of its cause"
"You know that mob is an irresponsible,
nncoycrnablc monster, no member o. which
can answer for conduct OF another, or con-
troll its movements, or tell where its acts Of
violence will end. You know that the puF-
pose Of firing tho Agency was ayowcd by Tho
mob, a~l ,ha. hal thew succeeded IN de-
stroyinc tho liquor, such would probably
have been tho result. You know, further
ha. had the authorities given way to the
mob, and permitted them 10 destroy tho. IL
ousr rather than FIRE upon them-as in your
FRS, statement you intimate that they
should haze donc-that tho city would
have hencesorth been under mob rulc-thas
the authorities would have been unable to en-
force any law which might be obnoxious to
the mol, and that you would have been among
tho first TO deuounce the authorities for weak
" yielding to the rioters and thus placing us
all a. tboir mercy. You know, again, that
the object Of the mob was not 50 much 70
destroy tho liquors, as to njuro Neal Dow
that il was composed Of persons who have
no objection, to liquor, who do not regard
II as tho ",lowcss kind Of property" but
think very highly oft, and mako FREQ use
oft, that il was essentially rum mob, &C
