CTJohn Is. Cough, the renowned Tenn
perance Lecturer, has been engaged to deliv-
err two lectures in Davenport during next
mouth. n
lie will doubtless lecture at Iowa City and
some other points in the State, and ought by
all means to be engaged for two or three lee
lures in this place.
He is the most eloquent lecturer, on the
subject Of Temperance, in the world, and at
tracts larger audiences wherever he goes than
any lecturer in the land.

! Register OF the 18th says:
ssGov. Wise a few weeks since, in CONVEX
sation with Northern gentleman on the o.
liticai state OF the couItry, stated the posi-
ton of affairs thus: ''We nave no fear of
Northern abolitionists. We can take care
OF them. But what we have to fear is an
insurrection among ourselves sWhat y
said the other, san instruction of the
blacks "No," said the Governor, SHUT
Of the poor whites" This remark he ex-
planned by saying that he should not be sur
prised If bill was introduced into the next
Legislature of Virginia to restrict the slaves
from learning the mechanic arts, with the
design to restore these trades TO the poor
whites"
! OF course they wont do that. Will the
nigger-raisers, the owners of hum n muscles
and human ingenuity, submit to any &c,
which will impair the value of thsir stock :
No, indeed The poor whites must be
crushed. The rich Niger breeders, with the
race of bonimen which they raise and own,
must rule the politics, thu commerce, and the
industrial pursuits of the state. The free,
poor whites, must wait till they are still far
ther debased by oppression, and themselves
fitted for slavery. And they will not hav'
to wait long.
