ERRATA,

In our first No. the proof was very
badly corrected but we left the errors to
the judgments of our readers. The last
paper however contains one grand blunder
Which we are compelled to notice.
Ihthe article on THE Fxg. Slave Lar,
half a paragraph was omitted. l. belongs
just before the line abruptly commencing
with damage which slavery caused us +"
DC. The whole sentence reads as follows.
t'After the North has found tt conyen-
icht and profitable to sell their Negroes to
70 S nth and thus relieved themselves of
the rcproach and the damage which slavery
has caused us, is it right, is it manly, is
it patriotic, is it in accordance with the
Constitution to write upon Flag pre-
tending to be National, "that Fugitives
from service or labor shall not be surren-
dered on claim"

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONvEN.
TON

We never recollect to have seen so much
Indifference upon any political matter as
there is with regard to this vital subject.
1t is all important that man of brains
should be sent from Clayton Co. to assist
in revising the organic Law of the State.
Have we got any candidate in the field !
We have heard of none yet.
Somebody must represent us, and be-
lievin5 that DIR. F. ANDRos of Garnavillo
would be acceptable to the voters of this
district, we recommend him as the proper
man. .
Dr.. Shannon of DEBORAH and Dr.. Flint
of Usage, are spoken of as candidates fol
the Winnesheik district. Either of them
will be an honor to the district.
Quite an array of Doctors we admit

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

2 This legislation is founded upon principles as
ancient as free government itself, and in accord
ance with them, has simply declared that the
People of territory, like those of State shall
decide for themselves, whether slavery shall or
shall not exist within their limits.-Buchaaan's
Latter Of Acceptance.
This principle will surely not be controverted
BY any individual of any party protesting devotion
b popular government. Besides, how vain and
illusory would any other principle prove in prac
tcc, in regard to the Territories. This is appar
snt from the fact admitted by all, that after Ter
ritory shall have entered the Union, and becomes
estate, no constitutional power would then exist
which could prevent it from either aboishing OF
establishing Slavery, rs the case may be, accord
ing - its sovereign will and pleasure.-Buchan
sn's Letter of Acceptance.

COULEE de SIOUX.
honor.

This is the old French name for the
ravine or road that now leads westward
from McGregor. 1t was once celebrated
Indian trail, and from its gradual rise, and
the consequent facility of surmounting the
bluffs of the Mississippi on westward
march, it was established by the Govern
ment as the best means of access from the
East bank of the River to their more wes-
tern Notifications. A ware house is still
sanding here built by the U. S. for the
deposit of Military stores.
Nature seems to have been in an excel
lent humor towards the future residents
of McGregor, when this Coulee was form
ed. 1t could scarcely be made more favor
able for the transportation of heavy fret. ,hts
by teams to the interior; but nature like
other extensive business operators is not
always careful to finish up details, and
there is no denying that our Road to the
uplands requires immediate and pressing
attention. We do not wish to take upon
ourselves the character of an advisor to the
business men of McGregor, but il is a
very demonstrable fact that if our connec-
| ton with the country is cut off their trade
would become 'small by degrees and
beautifully less" This being admitted,
We suggest that every thing calculated to
impede a free ingress and egress FIR the
men who own the prairies and furnish us
our living, is calculated to hurt the mer-
camille interest; and the improvement of
all the facilities of travel to our point will
tend to increase the value Of all branches
of business. How necessary then that the
wagon road up the ravine should beattend-
ed to before the fall rains and bad weather
place it beyond remedy. -Four Hundred
teams per day now use this road, and I'M
less it is made wider in many places and
gravelled in others. bridges got in good
order DC, it will be next to impossible to

ted, but we must begin subscription for
its improvement at once among ourselves.

The Elections.

We intended to reserve comments on
the late elections until complete returns
were received from Ohio, Penn. and Ind
but the Boats seem miserably void OF
news for few days past, and as we write
we can only report the general rumor,
based however, on undeniable fact and
universal Republican concession, that
Ohio has gone Republican, by reduced
majority, losing at least eight members of
Congress. Pennsylvania has chosen the
Dem. State Ticket by from six to ten
thousand Indiana has gone Democratic
by at least FIVE thousand against Fusion
Ticket, with gain of several members of
Congress. Connecticut, Notwithstanding
our latest" of last week now turns up
for the Democracy
This very cheering news will be stock
in trade sufficient for many of our papers
to spot half dozen columns with extrav
agant displays of fancy pictures and i'm
posing capitals calculated to re-assure the
confident, and strengthen the despond-
ing; while the opposition in lines equally
imposing and in terms of severe denunci,
alton, will tell us of Extensive Frauds
"Villainous Misrepresentation" " Bride

the force of their fall.
We are no political gladiator. We
have no disposition to indulge in bombas-
tic clap-trap. Men who think, are no;
moved by it; and those who do not think

right. We appeal to the brains and moi

A SCENE AT DUNLEITH.-Thcre was
iute scene of excitement at the Dun
ieth ferry landing. The circumstances
were rela ed to us by an eye witness, and
were as follows:
"The steamer Thos. Scott was lying
ethwart of the Ferry Company's floats,
when Capt. Bogy came up with his ferry
boat Gregoire. laden with the mail and
passengers for the 6 o'clock train. The
Capt. hailed the commandant of the Thos.
Scott in polite manner, requesting him
o move his boat so that the Gregoire
could land her mail and passengers; the
only reply which was returned to this
courteous request, was for the Capt. to go
to h-ll.
Every one who knows the excitabili y
Of the Captain may know how this speech
was received by him, especially when
hey learn that he has been much annoy
ed Of late by steamers, in open violation
of the law, interfering with rights of the
ferry. The Captain, with some pretty
warm words, Immediately took measures
to run the bow of his boat in to land his
passengers and mail, which he accomp
lished with some difficulty, when he back
ed his boat out into the stream, and after
getting to sui able dis ance, with hel
bow directed TO The Thos. Scott-on she
came with full head of steam. the peo
pie on the shore eagerly watching for the
result, and the Captain using his super

came, until she came up with a drive ;
little aft of the Scott's wheel-housc, which
made crashing and sent two or three
molasscs barrels and other freight flying
over the deck.
At this point Of the proceedings tho
