Of hogs for packing purposes. This is sattrib

of the money market, which has its influence
on our monetary affairs. Holders of hogs,

The C0LoRED NATIONAL CoSvEETIoN.-On
Thursday evening this convention, which has
been in session in. Philadelphia for several
DAYS, adjourned .si,aaedie Previous to adjourn
ment, letter from Mr.. Hardy, of Baltimore,
enlogizing the Republic of Liberia, was read,
and created much excitement. The Philadel-
phia Sun thus reports the scene that followed:
Several members expressed themselves as
determined to have their rights on this soil on
which they, were born, and never would they
aid the cause Of colonization. 1 i 49,
Mr. Downing of Connecticut, who spoke
against the cause Of Colonization, concluded
his remarks by motion to treat the lett r
with contempt never before heart of to-wit:
to burn it-and on this motion he demanded
the previous question. The motion to burn
was agreed to by a large majority.
s Several voices were now heard at this point:
''burn it on stake" "here are matches, .
''burn the letter and SINCE the writer
Among those who voted against the resola-
ton Fred Douglass s.s
i Mr.. Dell said those who had voted to burn
the letter would lynch him if they could; yes,
they would cut his throat.
Rev. Stephen Smith thought that the dispo-
sition of the letter was unchristianlike and
unprecedented. He had hoped that the mem
bers of the conyeution would have been guided
by better spirit than to have passed such a
resolution iils sse4ss s.ss sl.sat. 5aa
Resolutions were passed commencing the
Massachusetts, law throwing open the public
schools to all colors; recommending young
colored persons to learn trades, or secure
places of profit and trust in stores, and not
consent to work in places ofamusemenc where
a distiction is made in favor of the whites.

election. Nine Germans have been found who
voted the Old Line ticket, and yet have not
been three months in the country and cannot
speak word of English! Is there not an
american party needed in this country? Just
such outrages as there are the Old Liners
practicing on all occasions-annuiling the votes
of men who have lived here all their lives, by
the votes of men who have only been a few
weeks or months in the country. We have
no doubt Mr. Veatch will be successful in con-
testing this election, if he can obtain the slight
test justice. 10

disease had baf1ed all his acquired skill in
the other two cases he felt at liberty to de-
part from all medical advice and follow a
course Of his own, which was pleased with
success and his daughter lives. Now that
the rain is falling and the thunder rolls so
continuously, We trust no more Of our little
flock will suffer.
Another benefit to be derived from the rain
is the quenching of fire in huge mass of
sawdust which was ignited by the burning of
the steam saw mill two days since. We had
feared that the furious winds which have
visited Us this spring, might whirl the burn
ing dust into yards near by and set fire to
other buildings. Now however it must be
quenched and all we have to deplore is the
loss of the mill to the community around.

City, and probably its destruction will retard
the growth of their city somewhat for few
weeks; though understand they intend to
have another erected Immediately eithss here
or in their town-in the latter case the con-
Hagration may be greatly for the improve
ment of their place.
The Missouri is still very low, yet two boats
have at last made their toilsome way up to
our destitute region--for destitute we were
really becoming. Tea and coffee drinkers
began to bemoan the necessity of abstinence
from their fayorite beverages-coo to look
dismal!y when Studying what to substitute
for sugar rice &c.,-little urchins were swell
tering in the sun with winter caps on their
heads, and mothers wondering where they
should find summer clothing for their chill
dren-but We trust for the present such pet
ty trials are ended by the arrival of the beats.

This precious "essence of Barley" the
use of which was not considered sin even
by the high authorities of Germany, and
which moreover is a requisite stimulant of

good quality in this city, as we by no
means expected to find.
We are informed that few years ago
this was not the case, but as Burlington is

MEssRs EDITORS:
Having just returned from
my laboratory where l have been engaged in
putting together andipose matter and alkali
for the purpose of forming the chemical COM
pound called in common parlance soap; am
seate / to tell you of times in Western Iowa.
But must confess am not in the most hap
Ply ofmoods, as begin to think there may
be some truth in the saying of one of my ell
DERBY friends, that am trying my skill in the
s'wrong time of the Moon.'' O! that some
astrologer would explain to me what mystic
rious influence that mild planet has upon my
soap kettle to prevent its contents from form
ing proper affinity for each other, and unit
ing in due proportions.
But while have entirely failed in my ex-
pertinent, the elements have been more sue
cessful in theirs, as ! judge from the large
and beautiful crystals, which they have just
showered down upon US from their aerial
laboratory. They fell at FIRST very slowly but
were many Of them from three to four inches
in circumference and of the most beautiful
forms. An individual from the shores of
the Atlantic upon picking up ore exclaim-
ed ssHere is Sun Fish, and another re-
sponded go, it is beautiful fower-like q
rose somewhat There were many of that
form, while others were more globular and
appeared to be set with small crystals on the
surface. Soon they fell thick and fast but
were smaller and the common form-they
were attended with abundance of rain-in-
deed throughout the day we have been hav.
ing shower which cause all nature to re-
joice, as it has been very.dry here, but little
rain having fallen in this immediate vicinity
for some weeks. Farmers were beginning
to think Of outstanding all that remain
ed to them Of last years crops, as corn
was small and yellow-wheat putting forth
heads only few inches from the ground,
and seeds when put into the earth if they
vcgetated at all soon withered-even the
grass began to droop in the noontide heat.
Now the earth is well saturated with water,
and man and beast Is vel! a. inanimate ma
ture seem imbued with new life.
We in our little settlement have further
cause of rejoicing as we trust the continual
passage Of electricity through the atmosphere
will purify it, and assist in allaying that fear

Common Justice I"

We were reluctantly drawn, by the re-
ception Of favors from correspondents, into
a very few words in reference to Mayor
Hudson and his management of the late
celebration We then said that we did
not approve of any discussion of the mat
ter through the public prints, not because
We lacked the nerve or the requisite mate
rails out of which to manufacture nice
quarrel, but because all the facts were well
understood here. and their publication
could only scandalize our city. But the
Gazette meets our forbcarance with nearly
half column of controversial matter
shows an evident anxiety to "pitch in, I"
and courts controversy.
1t is but justice to ourselves to say that
from the first we have been disposed to be
lenient and forbcaring towards his Honor
When he took possession and control of
the whole business from the invitation of
the guests to the inspection of the wine,
We knew he had an opportunity Of redeem
ing himself and softening down much of
the feeling that existed against him here.
BY discarding political and personal con-
sideratious, holding himself above pet
ty animosities, he might have challenged
the admiration and secured the universal
good opinion Of the town. Whether he
has or has not done this we shall leave
others to decide.
We disclaim any thing like censure
upon the various committees engaged in
the celebration or upon the city fathers
We did not in what we before said and
do not in what We now say, intend by d.
rection or implication, to cast censure.-
The principle reason for dissatisfaction was
the mode of distributing invitations for
the Banquet and the Excursion. The
omission of the Directors and officers of
our Western Road and public spirited and
enterprising men of Burlington, while
tickets were rendered to and used by resi-
dents Of foreign birth, who in some in
stances had not been in the city or State
three months, was matter to create dis
satisfaction. Old citizens feel indignant
that the courtesy of the Railroad Compa-
ny should be thus abused,
In speaking to this subject the Gate
City has the following:
The Mayor of Burlington had neither the
'horse sense" nor the sssense of decency"
to invite the directors Of their own Western
Railroad TO- participate in the festivities of
the recent Railroad Celebration at that place;
and therefore the officers Of the Keokuk Rail
roadb and the editors of our City have no
special ground Of complaint that they were
not "honored" with an invitation.
