paper.
The city OF Cincinnati with a popula-
ton OF 100. 900, and banking capital Of
$3el 900, Is suffering under serious diff
sulties aud ADVERTISEMENTS for the want CT
an adequate circulating medium What
then must be the disadvantages Of the con :
dition OF the State OF Iowa with popula
ton nearly treble that Of Cincinnati and
without one single dime Of banking capt
tai! And what shall we say OF the hon
esty and wisdom Of that kind Of policy
which prohibits the people Of our state
from creating the very thing which they
most need, and which would tend above
all things TO increase the prosperity OF the
people?
Let the people OF Iowa reflect II, on
these matters and see to il, that they never
again lend aid and comfort" 10 tic mis-
crable old Hunker pot.metal dogmas Or

of acquiring and sustaining the :oaHrnabe
right OF liberty 10 his own person intAat
State:
A sho,t time since one Osburn residing
back of Lagrange, sold negro TO II. F..
Ba tett, who started with him 60 St. Louis,
bai when they reached La Grange. tie
negro exhibited written contract between
himself and 0sburn, and the receipt Of
the latter thereon for the sum 81 $5oi en-
par, paymen, Of $3.50, for which lie had
agreed to give the negro his freedom
This contract caused hesitation and de-
lay on the part Of Bartlett, aud thcreupon
Oshurn again got possession of the negro
and run him South, whore he has doubt
less sold him before tins time
Considerable Indignation WAS NANTES
ted against the eondnct of Osbu,n, but
that las not restored the man the liberty
Of which lie has now a second time been
rathlessly robbed.
