Stare POLICY.

Be it remembered that if the Democracy
secure a majority in the next Legislature, nc
banking law will be passed. Ben. NJ. Sam
uels is strong a1tti- man; and the
leaders Of the party generally are opposed
to the circulation Of paper as money. If we
place the Legislature in the bands of these
men, We may expect a contihuance of our
present difficulties in the way of currency.
Heretofore by the despotic restrictions Of our
old Democratic Constitution. we have been
ovorrun by a system Of shinplasterism
which has involved the State If, pecuniary
difficulties. The only chance Of escape is in
the election Of a Republican Legislature,
and the Inauguration Of general banking
law. A Democratic Legislature will never
do this. 1t is too much og the old metallic
school, to look with any degree Of allow
ance upon banking corporations!
On State policy the great issue before the
people in the present contest is. bank Or no
bank. The Shamoeraey are unable to evade
this issue Their anteeedents are too strong
ly marked in oppositionto the banking sys-
tenn tossatImit of mistake. Our choice now
is as citizens Of Iowa between Locofoco
shinnlasterism on the one hand, and sound,
healthy, constitutional banking corporations
on the other. Republicans, which Will YOU
choose ?-IoWc Citizen. .... .-.....

NGGRo TESTIMONY II he case Of the State
Of Iowa against Hall was tried in the Dis
trics Court en- Wednesday last. 7 he defen-
dant was charged with stealing hogs, but
was acquitted by the Jury. We alIude to
the ease, now, as being the first one which
has occurred IN this court under the law OF
last winter admitting negro testimony. And
we hasten TO announce to the universal
world and the :rest Of mankind" that al
though John Heiner, colored man, did ac-
tuallv get up and give his testimony in open
court, before the Bench, the Bar, the Jury
and great number Of white men, vet the
court stlll survives, the jury still lives, the
world moves on as usual, end there 10 yet
no .:arnalgamation'' that we have heard Of,
nor is the white race hopelessly degraded
We trust that Ben. Samuels and the LocOfo-
co de1nagogues generally, will breathe cas-
Ter after this remarkable circumstance. Let
us add that Heiner's testimony, which, by
the way. was given in clear and business
like manner,-was submitted to the jury for
what it was worth, just like any other mans.

he said: 81 am in favor of maintaining the
authority of the Government in Kansas, and
of enforcing obedience to its laws" Let US
see what its laws are, which he won d have
The Government protect at the point of the
bayouet. We quote from the published Kan
Sas laws:
"Sec. II. If any free pers on, by speaking
or by writing, assert or mainta ain that per-
sons have not the right to hold slaves in this
Territory, print, publish, write. circulate, or
caus, to be introduced into this territory.

cular, containing any denial of the right o..
persons to hold slaves in this Territory, he
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and be pun
ished by imprisonment at hard labor for a

So you see that he would enforce law
which would inprison a man cat hard Labor
for not less than two years." merely for G
expression of his opinion! How does this
compare with the new Constitution Of Iowa
on that point? How does it compare with
the Republican sentiments of Free Men,

BY telegraphic dispatches to the Chicago
and St. Louis papers, we have intelligence
of terrible calamity in the Gulf of Mexi
co, in the foundering of the steam packet
Central America, rnd the loss Of the lives
of at least five hundred of the passengers and
crew. his steamer was on her way from
Havana to New York, with passengers from
San Francis o Of the Doth of August, num-
bcring between five hundred and six hundred,
and encountered a gale in which she was
foundcred and lost. So great a loss of life
has never been known. unleSs future ac-
counts should bring tidinrs of the rescue Of
a much greater number Of her passengers
than is now reported. lhe following are
the dispatches conveying this sad intclli
genc2:
,RLEsToN, S"p. IS.
The officers Of the Thomas Swami, report
that the Norwegian bark EIoisc. when spo-
ken on the 10Th inst, was making for Nor
folk for the purpose Of landing the forty
passengers re cuGd from the week OF the
steamship Central America The details of
the calamity Will be obtained on the arrival
Of the Eloisp at Norfolk The Central Amer
lea foundered on Saturday last. Fifty pas
scngcrs were rescued by the Norwegian BARI;
Eioise, including twentv-Siz females. The
officers were all lost, excepting JAS. NJ. Fra
zor, the second officer The chief engineer
George Z. Asiby. took boat and deserted
the ship. b2,00O,0 ,000in specie, which WAS on
board, was lost. The Central America was
commanded by Lieut.. Vim. Herndon, u. S.
Navy. Her crew consisted Of l0l men. her
passengers numbered 523, total G2G souls.
SAVANNAH, Sept. IS.
The bark Saxony arrived at this port this
morning with five pass ngcrs. rescued from
the wreck Of the Central America. She re
ports the total loss Of the vessels treasure
and mails, and about FIVE hundred Of those
on board. A por ion of. her crew, together
with women and children passengers, mum
berng in all forty persons, We're saved by
the brig Marine, bound to Boston. The sea
was very heavy at the time the ship founder
ed. f0rty-nine other passengers were pick
ed UP by the bark El0ise. The names of five
saved by the bark Saxonv are as follows:
II. II. Childs, Of the firm Of ChildS L Dough
crty, New York; Jabcz Howes, OF the firm
of George lIoweS 4 Co. Nan Francisco; CO.
loneli1oorge ". Look, of the Marine; Adolph
Frederic}s, Of San Francisco.
The Central America WIS formerlt known
as the George Law, and by that name made a
good many trips in the trade in which she has
now been lost. 4 gentleman who has tray
eled in her describes her as d substantial
though slow steamer; and the reason assign
ed for her change is. that under the name Of
George Law she became so unpopular that
no one would travel in her
! Further adyices will be looked for with
painful interest.

IMMENSE SEIZURE OF OBSCENE WORKS.

IMMENSE SEIZURE OF OBSCENE WORKS.
Several thousand volumes Of obscene publi-
cations Of George Ackcrman, publishcr of
a filthy sheet called Venus Mjwellany.)
were seized by officers Of the law in New
York on the 18th inst. Several thousand
copies of the Niscellany were found, togctEl-
er with twenty different works of the viest
character The list of the subscribers to
these works was found 1t is disgraceful
fact. that out of $500 subscribers, nearly
ne-half were females. Females were also
employed in stitching the sheets of the works
and in colorng the plates. Several hundred
parcels of the papers We're found ready for
mailing, and addressed to various book sell
lers and agents throughout the coun-
try. Contributions to the literary contents
of the paper, in many cases written by fe-
males, and of the most obscene dcscri ption.
were also found. Ackarman's ledger, which
on examination. showed that his profits in
this nefarious business could not have been
less than $4,000 a year. AS the Miscel-
la1sp could only be obtained by actual sub
scrintion, and through the POST Office, the
debased wretches-a they include parties
of great reputation in societv-who indulgcd
in the filthy luxury, are known to the au-
thoritins. Ackermas, who published the
Miscellany under the name of Romerio, has
fed the city.

TRfrBLE IN THE CAMp.-The Sham Dem
ocracv of Dubuque are divided TITO three
factions, headed by Gen. Jones, Judge Will
son and Ben. Samuels The Na1th Hes is
tn Jones organ, par excellence; the Erpress
is in the interest of Wilson. Samuels has
DO organ. These three worthless are eompet-
itors for supremacy among the faithful.
The fight is waxing hot between the two or
gans. The Express says that mes owns the
North Vet, and the latter says that the
former is ready to sell itself whenever it can
find market; that its Democracy is de-
cidedly bogus. A convention has just been
held to select delegates, charged with the
nomination of county ticket, &c. The
Wilson clique triumphed; wher.at the
Jonses are greatly exasperated, The indi-
cations now favor a desperate fight and per-
manent division among the faithful The
Republicans look IN .complacently, assured
that however the fight may terminate, there
is more cheering prospect for them.

THE GOLD SUSE.-A New York dispatch
Of the 18th says: '0f the gold by the Cen

The freight list and other papers o. the ship
were all on board, and duplicates cannot be
obtained from San Francisco under five Or

two-thirds of which Is insured in London
