lhvpocriticalpTofes-o nsof principle made
by these men sLMen who would be the
FIRST to call. ,ou asses and fools for doing
that wb@h they would persuade you TO
do. they know the Importance to the
company of favorable expression of in
terest by this county, and have used
their best efforts to securea defeat. They
do not care an iota for your interests, but
are endeavoring to sacrifice them to pro-
mote their own. They know that if the
Wapsipinicon Valley Road is not built,
that the people Of Buchanan county must
needs, before many years, so a days
journey for their lumber, and that it must
be brought from Minnesota at such rates
as they would be pleased to adopt. And
they know, too, that this difficulty Of get
ting lumber for building and fencing
would necessarily lessen the price Of land
in this county to an extent equivalent to
halfa-dozen such loans. And yet they
would persuade you that your interest
lies in the defeat Of this loan ~ 'h'i
But we have too much faith in the in
telligence and jud gment-of the people Of
this county to believe that the money OF
arguments Of these gentlemen can avail
anything. The benefits of the road to
this county are SO evident, and can be
obtained at so little cost-the interested
motives Of these gentlemen so obvious,
and their arguments SO devoid Of reason
or fact-that the people, we feel assured
will not be deceived. If they but fully
understand the proposition-if they bu
follow the dictates of their own judg
ments, and not be guided by unwarranted
prejudices, these hypocriticaf professors
Of principle will undoubtedly find tha
their money and lies have been spent il
vain, and that the Wapsipinicon Valley
Railroad is placed beyond the reach O.

\ The. Iowa ELECTION. isnotorieus
that large portion of the Fillmore vote
of last fall, went, with the BUCCANEERS
this spring. Add to, this that but two
thirds Of the Republicans went to the
polls, and the result is mot astonishing.
We are glad to see the Pro- Slavery pa
pers and politicians taunting and boast
ing so loudly over their partial victory,
it will produce an excellent effect on the
$4,000 Republicans who were too lazy
to attend the polls Chicago IriJune.
On Wednesday night at the opera,
Col. Fremont and Ex-President Fillmore
sat side by side in a front seat, listening
to Gazzaniga in Norma, apparently genl
tirely forgetful that there had been 2
Presidential election last fall. If Mr..
Buchanan could have looked in and seen
how perfectly satisfied and placid these
two rivals ofihis Appeared in their defeat,
we are not sure but that he would have
envied them their happy escape from the
tolls and troubles Of the White House,

candidate for Superintendent of Instruc
ton, is elected from 400 to 600 majority;
Mr.. MANNING, the Republican candidate

counties We're not returned Buchanan,
Harrison, Page, Monroe, Lucas, Wood
bury and Wright. They would not pro-
badly vary the result; would add to the
Republican vote somewhat. !" ljgHGn, ..
re- We are unable to conceive why
the returns Of this county were not sent
to Iowa City. Perhaps our Immaculate
Democratic county Judge will have the
kindness to inform us. He did not hest
tate to send post haste to the Dubuque pa
pers the false intelligence that Buchanan
county had gone for Wilson but when
he found that it gave the. Republican
State ticket geo majority, he entirely for
gets to let the people Of the State know
about it. Had buchanan" coun-
ty gone Democratic, there is no ordinary
contingency which would have prevented
him from communicating that fact to the
Board Of Canvassers at Iowa City, but as
was, he probably considered political ex-
pediency paramount to official duty.

Gg- We1are indebted to Mr.. d.. S. DA-
Wis for Q bundle of late St. Paul papers.
In glancing over them, we find, in the
Times OF the 18th inst, paragraph, in
which the editor informs all the world in
general, and Eastern people who think
about cmigrating west in particular, that
he had eaten for his dinner the day pre-
vious, some new potatoes. /" Not the
sickly vegetable reared under glass
house or in rocking hot bed, terminated
and nourished and protected by artificial
appliances, but the real, genuine, healthy
shannocks, grown on southwark slope
near the city, with no other hot bed than
Minnesota soil, and no other glass house
than Minnesota sky and air." This beats
Arctic vegetation all to pieces. Pity the
editor can't give us the variety. Only
think new potatoes dug in St. Paul
while the icicles hang pendant from the
bluffs, a few rods off, and the slush of
the last snow not yet evaporated. The
Times man has evidently told what a
friend Of ours would call a whopper."

The report says;

The Canal and its works are in better condition at
the commencement of this seGson than al any former
similar period.
The new planes continue give entire satisfaction,
and the remaining old ones are IN good state Ot re-
pair; the bridges have generally been rebuilt within
the last few years and all other structures are IN
good ard substantial condition. The banks Of the
canal have become settled and are very secure and It
is source Of qualification that there has been in
terupton to the navigation dunng the season worthy
of note
In the last annual report mention was made Of the
operations Of the Company in providing additional
d. pot ground al Jersey City by retaining portion
Of the submerged lands there. This work Is about
coz pleted together with the construction Of a pier
400 feet in length furnishing superior facilities for the
deposit and reshipment Of coal. These structures
have been rented upon satisfactory terms and 10 par
ties who have engaged 10 bring through the canal a
largely increased amount Of coal.
The prospect q future business upon the canal con-
tuues TO be encouraging. The consumption of coal
is steadily the increase and II is found that the
Morris Canal furnishes an avenue as cheap and rela-
bic any other from the several coal fields TO the sea
board and the demand along the line for manufactur-
iDg and other uses is rapidly increasing.
The business Of manufacturing iron ia in prosper
Gus condition, causing large demand for the magnetic
iron Of New-Jesey, which transported 10 the
furnaces along tie ine Of the canal and other furnaces
in Pennsy lvana. The connection Of the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad with the canal at Phlhpsburgh and the
Delaware, Lackawanua and Western and Warren
Railroads AZ Washington Is now made and coal il
beng shipped into boats at both Of those places by
means If which the boating facilities Of the Company
are greatly increased and the business of the canal
necessarily enlarged.
