IOWA CORRESPONDENCE

BuRRIs Iowa, April 2, 1857.
DEAR GOODWIN II has been long time
since have written anything FOR your col
umns, and hoping that you will not be dis
pleased TO hear from me again. shall fur
nish you with a few brief items in reference
10 affairs in the Hawkeyo State
presume you have seen ournew Constitu-
ton. If 50, you have doubtless noticed that
il is not above criticism in many points
In this State II does not give general salts
faction, and yet il il so manifeslly superior
to tho old one that II will be adopted by
large majority Of the popular vote. Mod
ern Democracy in Iowa is very much as II
Is in Indiana and oil other old States The
leaders Of that party are reckless as to the
means they employ to gain victory and OBJ
tain the spols.
During the late Presidential contest the
most ntrocious means wero used to carry
the State for Buchanan. DIR, Eads, the Su-
perintcndentof Public Instruction. whose
hands were intrusted the magnificent School
Fund Of Iowa, took advantage Of the lame
moss OF the statute regulating his Official du-
tics, and loaned out vast sums to the Demo
cratic editors and county committees, upon
worthless security, and in some. cases with
out security Of any kind. BY this means
newspapers were established, documents Of
all Lid. ..oro 1;a,.;hutod f.nofx ord s.,,y,,,,
orators were kept active. Still, the people
were true TO Ropublicansm Theproslaye.
ry Democracy arc now afraid to bring out
their candidates openly in many parts ofthc
States and their candidate for judge in this
judicial district il running as the peoples
independent candidate" Our election comes
OF next Monday, aud II is confidently beliey-
ed that the last remnant Of Democracy will
then be wiped out
Times are somewhat "hard' and the con.
sequence is that land is not advancing II
is not receding, however, and no fears are
entertained about the future prosperity Of
tho State. Tho vast amount Of money which
will be spent on our RAILROADS TINS season
will relieve us Of the slight pressure which
we feel just now, and the easy means Of
transportion which these roads will soon az
ford, will keep up the present remunerative
price Of all agricultural production.
Iowa will have three great cities on the
Observation-Disclosures, Keokuk, and Burris
The latter place is not yet quite one year
old, and yet its population is about twelve
hundred, and every passing steamer bring,
additions 10 il. The site is one Of the most
handsome for building great city that can
be found upon the Mississippi Its advsn-
tages Of location are unrivaled The great
Western Air Line Railroad, from TT Wayne,
Indiana, to Council, Bluffs, Iowa, is now in
such condition that it's completion is no

ONE OF THE RESULTS.

A joint committee Of the New York Leg
islature has reported resolutions that slave
ry will not be tolerated In that State under
any form or pretense, or for any time, how
ever short--a pregnant allusion TO the Lcm'
mon case, Of which, in the bred Scott case,
the slaveholders' majority in the Supreme
Court appear to have forestalled the decis-
ion.
This is naturally followed up by another
resolution that the Supreme Court, by
indcntifying itself with sectional and ag-
gressiye party, has lost the confidence and
respect Of the people Of the State.
Along with the resolutions the Committee
have reported bill, tho object Of which is
to affirm the capacity Of colored men to be-
come citizens Of New York, and to carry
out the doctrine Of the resolutions by
making il felony TO attempt to hold as a
slsve in this State any person not fugi-
tive from service This bill has been ro-
ferred to the Committee Of the Whole
