Does.-Om n~eighbor OF the Davenport
Gazette is greatly exercised on account Of
the canine population Of that city, He
Gays that they have five or six hundred there
more than they have any use for. This
fact we suppose accounts in part for the
-four thousand more population, falsely
claimed TO be on that side Of the river than
on this, by II letter, which we saw copied in
one Of their papers from the New York
Courier and Enquire .-Roch Islander.
II nsighbor Pershing intends the above
for wit, lei him say so and we will laugh
heartily at it, otherwise we may laugh at
him. Dogs are 50 numerous over here tia,
We do not rGumerate them ia our census, ss
we are led to conclude from the foregoing
il the case in Rock Island. BY the way,
we published oUerGUe housand extra copies o
that letter, and then had not enough to sup
ply the demand, What do you think uf
that, neiqhborf

Still CoMISG.-Rafts continue 10 come

tsiuly conclude from the numbers which
have come and are on the way, that there
would be no lack OF lumber. But the de-
@and for building materials is not only very
great, but is rapidly on the increase, and
however energetic the rsftsmen may be,
there is no danger that their most strenuous
efforts can cause any glut in the market.

STILL UHsUccEssFuL.-We learn from
the Advertiser that the attempted ratifcs.
ton meetings in Rock Island have thus far
been worse than failures. 1t ga; that at
this moment Rock Islsnd county 10 anti.
doughfscs three to one, and if a few more
doughfacs speeches are made there, it will
be ten to one,
There is . great similarity between Rock
Island and Scott counties, both as regards
the failures Of the pro-slsvery party to hold
ratification meetings, and the proportion Of
the people which is opposed TO the mad
schemes Of the slavery propagandist.. We
have heard it intimated that il was the in.
tention Of the pro.slavery leaders to have
turned the meeting at the Court House on
last Saturday evening into a ratification
meeting if il had been sufficiently large, but
as it was far from being large, that iden was
Prudently abandoned. A very fair criterion
by which to Judge OF the sentiment OF Ibis
city, is TO compare the nti-Nebraska meet
4.L 81 n' E
ipgs with those which the .slayeryites
have attempted TO convene,
In It's account Of the pro.slavery failure
in Rock Island. the Advertiser makes the
follow ing allusion toa Davenport a~uxilisry
who assistei at the melancholy occasion
"Mr. Dow. of Davenport, followed the
bare-faced speech Of DR.. Cloudy, but said
nothing OF consequence, except that they
we're glad 10 trade of Joe Knox, Of Rock
Island. for Bob Blackwell, Of Chicago, 40 an
accession TO their ranks. There is not a
particle Of evidence that Bob Blackwell has
joined their motley party, but ifhe has. Knox
has the advantage OF him in the argument
on this occasion, Of least We are not sur
prised at anything they may say however.
They are so insane that they seem to be
glad TO trade off freedom for slavery, princi-
Plies for rnfhanism, and glorious victory tor
ighominious defeat When people are so.
We can forgive them for almost any kind Of
a speech" 5
