attention Fire wardens.

Attention Fire Wardens.
We believe there is an ordinance or law erea-
ting the offices of Fire Wardens, which have
been filed And as all public founctionaries
sho'd be employed and as in our opinion the safe
ty of property holders requires little more vig-a
ilance on the part Of the Wardens, we propose
to point out q few matters to which we respect-
fully ask their attention.
7 On Jefferson between third and fourth streets,
south side is a carpenter shop, around which is
usually quantity Of shayings and other like
combustible matter in condition to ignite with
the emerest spark. Boxes are filed with shavings,
and into which might Internationally be cast a
segar stump which would probably produce a
very serious freif not extinguished. And what
"a very handy place for an incendiary? He
could not arrange matters better had he time
and leisure to prepare for a general confagra-
ton. We know it is exceedingly difficult, in
the nature of things. to get along in a carpenter
shop without much of this litter and consequent
liability to fire. But still something can be
done.
Persons must not suppose that all fires occur
in the winter. The newspapers have furnished
abundant evidence to the contrary the present
summer. And it IS the part Of prudence, at
least with those who are especially charged with
this matter, to take all attainabie means and
precautions to prevent them. a

Let every citizen of Iowa, whether he call
himself Democrat, Republican, Wing or Know
Nothing, remember that at the extra session Of
Congress which has just closed, there was a foul
conspiracy formed and q corrupt coalition made
between the Fillmore Know Nothings and the
Buchanan Slavery extensionists, having for its
object the employment of the troops and reve-
nues Of the General Government in enforcing
upon territory of this Union set Of accnrsed
laws, proven by the most indubitable evidence
to have been enacted by a neighboring State,
and shown by internal evidence to be .oppres-
sive, inhuman, unjust, and a disgrace to an en-
lightened age and Christian people. Letthem
bear in mind that this corrupt coalition triumph
ed, and that through the instrumentality of these
two Presidential aspirants and conspirators, Bu'
chanan and Fillmore, the Missouri river is now
closed to Northern emigrants and even the Iowa
route is soughtto be closed, while United States
troops, and Missouri ruffians under pay are to
be employed s'by authority" to wipe out the last
vestige of freedom, aud drive out or murdert the
last free State settler in the future State of Kan

"CltEcAuoUA."-Such was the Indian name of
the beautiful river taking its rise in the county of
Webster and flowing southeasterly thro' Story,
Polk, Jasper, Mahaska, Keokuk, Washington,
Henry, and on the line betweeni Lee and Des
Moines falling into the Mississippi. But some-
one. concluding that translation was better
than the Indian name, dubbed it .Skunk," and
now it is universally written, printed, and known
as sSkunk river" This is savory name to be
sure! It is burning Shame that SO vulgar
name should be applied to so beautiful river,
flowing through an unrivalled country in fertili-,
ty ofsoil and beauty of landscape Cannot the
old name be restored? We move that it hence
forward be known as "Checauqua river,n and
that any person using, writing, or printing the
name Of Skunk" shall be held guilty Of an Of
fence against good taste, and an awful misno-
