tions are cut from the late Democratic.
Convention at West Union, a. published
in the Pioneer. -..Et-,.a
What man in Iowa has tho heart to
hate. or the head to controve 1T them?
Resolred. That we have the utmost con-
6dence in the wisdom, craftsmanship, and
patriotism of the trainers of our federal
constitution as it exists. and we believe
that the constitution thus formed and
adopted, has been the foundation of our
national prosperity in years gone by; and
we hail itas the only shield to gaurd,
protect and insure the perpetuity Of oar
union, and that nought can issue, from
its violation or infringement but anarchy
and disunion. and the destruction of the
best and dearest interests Of our COM
mon country.
Resolred. That the principle that the
people of the Territories have the righ,
to make such laws as the majority Of
said people prefer. is the goodly principle
upon which they can be governed under
a Republican form of government, ant
that any principle appascd to this. con-
fiicts with the language and the spirit
Of the Declaration of Independence.

MGREGOR, FRIDAY, OCT ~, 1856.

AS he spoke. Christian knew the face
through all its redncss and ill-humor, ir
spite Of the fine clothes, the well-covered
table, and the porch of the grand house
for the merchant was none other than his
comradc Karl. IL have always heard"
he said, "that there was no truth told
south of Drontheim, and that must have
been sound doctrine, for you are Karl
and that Hans Peterson, whose fortune
you took, made me believe you were as
poor as poverty, and have brought two
dollars all the way with me to give to you
for old times sake but the knave bade
me to say at first that was poorer than
yourself, lest you would be too proud to
take them"
"Thc shameful story-tellcr - cried
Karl, unmindful Of his own sayings; "he
toll me last-New-year's Day that you
were as rich as a Jew, making grand feasts,
and helping all your friends. There he
comes. Won't / reckon with him !" and
Karl grasped the silver headed staff which
lay beside him. as Hans Peterson walked
in with his oil one and the pannier.
How could you tell such stories?'
cried Chris ian and Karl in brea.h.
But Hans leisurcly laid down his staff
and pack, and looking at them both like
old acquaintance, said Honest Chris
tian, when came to your wood house,
you entertained ME like brother--nay,
like Il lord, for the best you had was set
before me. Wealthy and right-worshipful
Karl when came to tbs mansion which
you inherited after learning to grow rich,
and marrying Holderbond' s daughter. You
did not SO much as ask me to sit. What,
then, could l say but what seems to me
the verify? Christian has the heart to
give and make merry Karl has nothing
to spare or rejoice in. Therefore, what
ever be the size of his dwelling. or the
weight Of his purse, Christian is rich. and
Karl is poor" '-.@ aa
AS Hans spoke. Christian thought he
had stepped behind him. The staff and
pannier sill lay in the porch, but there
was no man to be seen in all that stately
street, except the merchants who sat a,
their doors with pipe and glass, and said
they saw nobody. Christian went home
to Hilda and his master. Karl lived and
died in great repute for riches; but who
that Hans Peterson was, or how he Jared
after, is not yet known in the north, where
some old folks still remember the story
Of karls poverty.

EUROPEAN PAUPERs AND LABOR.
ERS.

The cripples and beggars of Europe,
persons disabled by age, by inirmity Of
mind or body. or by any other cause, from
obtaining their living by their industry,
should no doubt be supported by the com
munitics in which they first became bxE
den. To send them to us that we may
support them is a trick of the basest sort
"a wrong which we ought not to endure.
But is it to be laid down as rule that no.
body shall be allowed to land on our shores
who is poor? We might fairly infer this
from the clamor that is kept up so unceas-
ingly against the admission of foreign
paupers into our country. There are
thousands in Europe who become paupers
by no fault of their own; thousands who
would be glad to work. and for whom no
occupation is to be found in the crowded
land Of their birth. They have bodily
strength and willing hands, AMI all they
ask is an opportunity to labor. Under our
fortunate institutions. and in our vast
country. with immense regions Of fertile
land. waiting to be broken by the plough,
this opportunity is to be found. They
come hither not to be supported by char
ity, but to get work. They are brought
hither by the natural operation Of a law
which, under the new facilities for emigra-
ton, causes labor to go where there is a
demand for it. That such persons have
been obliged in some way or other to ac-
cept the public charity. is not only no
crime, but itdocs not render them the less
useful as laborers. Two or three wears
since England offered a remarkable exam
pie Of the truth that pauperism in the old
world is, in most cases. the simple effect
Of an ovcrcrowded population. In 1851
the poor-houses of England swarmed with
inmates. At the close of 1852, in con-
sequence of the emigration to Australia
and elsewhere, they We're comparatively
empty, and in many districts entirely so.
The paupers left the work houses and en-
tered upon the employments left vacant by
the sudden and extensive emigration
The opportunity Of work was the cure Of
pauperism there, and, in the case Of thou
sands of emigants who come penniless
to this country. it will be the antidote to
pauperism here.
1t is, in fact the interest of our country
at the present moment, to hold out the
greatest encouragements to the industri-
ous tiller Of the soil, from whatever part
Of the world he may come, and however
much he may have suffered by poverty in
his native land. The more unfortunate he
has been there, the happier will his lot be
here. by way Of contrast. We have
boundless wilderness, ready to burst into
fertility at the touch Of the plough. We
have a hungry market absorbing all the
products OF our soil, as fast as they leave
the hands Of the tiller. and craving new
supplies. Europe, with immense masses
of her population Withdrawn from the
labors Of husbandry, and employed in her
armies. looks to the western hemisphere
for food. The man who brings strong
arms aud u willing industry from Europe.
brings wealth to our country, if be has
no even TIC smallest com in his pocket,
