ssTuE SLAVE BREEDING DEMocRAcY.''-
Our opponents object to this term when APP
piled to them as being too harsh. But it is
true, and it is not wrong sometimes to call
things by their right names. Not only here
in Iowa but everywhere else theparty exists
it's practical workings are to strengthen and
extend the s'institution'' of slavery. Even
in Oregon this influence is at work. The
''National Democracy" as they call them
selves, are fully in power there. They have
just chosen alConvention to frame State
Constitution, and that Convention is about
as strongly Pro-slavery as Democratic, of
course. Little doubt remains that the Con-
yention will frame a clause making Oregon
a Slave State, and submit it separately to
the people. By them, however, 1t wi pretty
surely devoted down-all the Republicans
and minority Of the Democrats voting
against it. The Democratic leaders Will,
however, have accomplished one Of their
main objects-thcy will have commended
themselves to the favor Of their ruling power
at Washington as eminently conservative
and s'National,'' and they will probably
secure some fat offices as the reward Of their
Jealous though unsuccessful efforts.

Nlinh e Ota Convention.

St. Paul, July 22.-The double headed
Constitutional Convention is still in sessi ont
the Republican in Convention Hall, A. d.
Balbombe, Prest.; Democrats in Council
Chamber, presided over BY H. H. Siblev. ~
The Republicans number SO m.aabers ~
whom have presented credentials, ~h;cl,
have been presented and members qualifieo-
Democrats numbered to-day only 81, several
having become dissatisfied and returned home.
The credentials of the members remaining,
have not been reported upon. No perma<
hent organization yet. The Republican Con-
yention organized and standing Committees
appointed. Committee on preamble and
bill of rights has submitted report.
The Democrats WIRE in private caucus
yesterday P. NJ !, advising with Hon.. H. nj.
Rice and Gov. Medary. The course rcsolv-
ed upon not yet apparent. It seems proba~
bic now that both bodies will continue to-
insist that it is the Constitutional Conven~
ton, and both will form and adopt COM
stitution to- be submitted to the people.
Muscatine weekly journal. [volume] (Muscatine, Iowa) 185?-1890, 1857-08-01
The New Constitution.

This document has been pretty thoroughly
discussed by the press and we believe by the
people generally. thas been very roughly
and unfairly handled by the Democratic
press. We have but little doubt as to the
result, however 1t will be adopted by a
majority ranging from 10000 to 100000
If, however, we are mistaken, and if the
people, for the want Of that intelligence and
discrimination which VIC believe them to pos
sess, shall permit themselves to be hood-
winked and blinded by their factious and
INSCRIPTIONS leaders into voting against it,
and thus causing it's defeat, then, we say,
let the consequences rest upon their own
heads. Let the Inconvenience and evils
which we are now suffering and which are
becoming more and more onerous under our
present Constitution, so lily adapted to the
present and future wants of the State, rest
with such weight upon them as to teach
them by bitter experience their duty to thinh
and act for themselves.
We honestly believe that if the new Con-
stitution is rejected it will not be because
the people have acted Understandings, but
because they have submitted to the leader
ship of others. We can, then, Only earnest
| ly entreat them to read, reflect and act for
themselves on this great question.
Rccollect that if the proposed Constitu.
ton is rejected, it will take at least three
years more to 60 through the formula OF
calling a Convention to frame another. This
is not all. The expense to the State will
be doubled. We should not regard thai
much, however, if there was probability
that another Convention would be ahy more
likely to frame better Constitution than tic
one now proposed. No difference which po-
litical party predominates in its deliberations
SOME parts Of the Constitution gotten tr
would be Objectionable.
1t is worthy remark, as we have heretofore
alluded, that flo oppositionis made to the
New Constitution on points where its in ean-
ing is truly and 1egitimately given. Thu
throughout the columns of abuse heaped up.
on it will be found repeatedly the charge Of
Fsniggerism," " amalgamation, :" &C., a,
though The new Constitution provides for at
equality of the races, when, in truth, it does
no such thing, and grants no more privileges
to the negro than he now enjoys, except in
the single item of removing the restriction
that has heretofore existed against allowing
him to act as witness in our Courts of JUS
tice. This no reasonable man should object
| to.
There are hundreds of weighty consider
atoms that will present themselves to the
rea!er. in contemplating this subject, why
he should vote for the New Constitution and
use his influence to secure its adoption. We
| therefore leave it with him.

Gov. WALKEE.-This gentleman has got
into trap that he would like to get out of,
and wishes he Lad never got into. His in
auence in Kansas is substantially destroyed
already, and if he does not become the butt
of ridicule and sneering contempt before he
leaves the Territory, he may thank his sta,s
for good luck. The lasta most ridiculous
of his operations is the. Lawrence affair
Concerning it, the St. Louis Ne,cs says:
His present campaign against Lawrence
seems to have been too hastily Jude rtaken.
The Lawrenceites have outgeneraled him.
They decoyef him to their town by an ap
parently sham attempt to put in force lit
tie town charter which never could have
led to any difficulty, and, no sooner had he
come amongst them with 400 troops to keep
them quiet, than they instantly became qui-
ct themselves, and evinced as little DISPOSE
ton to raise an Instruction as the most
peaceable people in the world. The conse-
quence is that the over Jealous Governor is
left sucking his thumbs in most uncomfor-
table state of ''masterly inactivity"

ANT1-MoB LAw.-We cheerfully comply
with request to publish the proceedings Of
an anti-mob law meeting at Springdale, Ce-
dar county. The Secretary truthfully re-
marks:
eve think it due to the character of &C.
dar county that this united and solemn pro-
test Of large body of orr most influential
citizens against the recent lawless proceed
ings should be spread before the people Of
Iowa."

The ElectiOn...Our County Ticket.
"A desperate effort will be made by our op-
ponents to defeat the Republican ticket fol
county officers. Still we are sanguine that
it will have decided majority. We shall,
however, need every Republican vote that
can be po!led. Let our Republican friends
be vigilant at every poll, and see that a full
cote is cast.
Of course it is we'll to be on the look out
about election day for some dodge Or trick
Of our opponents for the purpose Of injuring
the Republican ticket and gaining votes for
the Democrats. Beware, too, Of lies and
misrepresentation gotten up on the day of
election. If we thought it necessary we
might entreat you to examine your ticket
closely-every name and even every letter
with a microscope for spurious tickets
will no doubt be slyly thrust about. But
Republicans are too intelligent to be deceiv-
ed in this way. 1t is only the rank and file
Of the Democracy who need such advice
We do not mean to insinuate that Republic
cans will be SO mean as to attempt to de-
ceiye them in this way. We do not know Of
any spurious tickets yet in circulation, and
are certain that the Republican candidates
and their friends will circulate none but the
genuine kind.
Wehave before alluded to game of
tswapping." Democrats will tell Republic
cans that in voting for county officers there
is no necessity for sticking to the ticket and
will propose to ''swap'' or change one name
for another. We hope no one will be entrap-
! ped by this kind Of game. Not single
name on our ticket deserves to be scratched
They are all good men-deserving and COM
petent. If you want good officers, elect
them.

BEER-Now that we threaten to become
a nation of beer guzzlers, the following opin-
ion of Liebig, the great German chemist, is
worth remembering:
"Beer is worthless for the blood, 1t is of
value only to support respiration and to
supply warmth. The heterogeneous portion of
the barley becomes soluble in brewing, passes
off in sweet beer, and is separated partly by
boiling, and partly by Concentrations
Beer serves to make people fat when they
are thin in flesh; it has the same effect as
starch in bread. 1t has its value in supply
ing warmth, but not in the formation of
Blood"

LOST LucGAeE.-Peop4e in the United
States are rather careless of their lives when
travelling, but they are a great deal more
careless of their luggage; every railroad com.
pany has depository, in which are placed
all the trunks, boxes, carpet bags and parcels
that are not claimed by passengers and these
accumulate with surprising rapidity. Under
the law of New York all such unclaimed
articles may be sold, when they have re-
manned on hand more than i year, and the
New York Central Railroad Company an
nounces such sale, to take place at Albany
on the 18th of August. They. advertise a
list of no less than two thousand one humid
red and six articles, that had accumulated
during the years Of 1852, 1853, 1854, and
1866. In these are comprised trunks, boxes,
chests, portmanteaus, valises, carpet bags,
bundles and packages of every size and de-
scription. About one half of these are not
marked in any way, while the others are
marked but imperfectly by initials OF ey-
pliers. The aggregate value of these afti-
cles and their contents must be many thou
sana dollars. On all the railroads Of the
United States there must be annually some
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth OF
personal property lost or abandoned in this
way.

New York CITY,. The Cincinnati Gazette
says that the New Workers. have stopped
fighting and gone to injuncting. They get
up every morning and iujunct each other all
around. They then spend the rest Of the day
in getting the injunctions dissolved They
then get out fresh set of injunctions the
next morning, and begin the dissolving pro-
cess where they left of the day before. This
is the second stage Of the distemper and in
dicates moderate and gradual convalescence.

HiNTs 70 THE CLERaY.-Dr. Bethune, the
Rochester advertiser says, has been giving
the young candidates for the ministry in the
Rhetorical Society Of the Theological Semi
nary lecture. He said among other things,
that when he was young no preacher ever
went into the pulpit in boots, bat always
wore shoes; and he believed there was as
much of comfort as of custom in it. No one
can preach well in tight boots. He invegh-
ed against white croakers' as unclassical and
indefensible. The writer's on ancient GUS
toms Tell us nothing about bandages for the
thro It, and in early days none but the slaves
and 1felons wore the halter There is no
reason, therefore, why the clergy should
garrote themselves in these days. The
ladies protest against it by their own disuse
of the neck band, and bear the white column
as gracefully as lilly's stalk its flower
Disuse of long wasted words and rhetorical
tlourishes, and rigid adherence to the plain
Saxon vocabulary were especially advised.
