ed that none of the several counties which have
received any of said fve per cent fund shall re-

DEATH OF b. D. La. Coss1rr-We ar. pain

DEATH OF II. D. LA. Coss1TT.-We are panied
to announce that Henry D. La Cosstt, editor OF
the Dubuque Northwest, is no more. He died at
Iowa City, on the night of the sth instant, after
a protracted illness Mr.. Cossitt was well known
to the citizens Of this place, having been identi
ted with its interests for years as editor of the
Enquirer. He started that paper in lS4S, with
limited means and under many discouragements
but by the most indomitable perseverance and
energy established it firmly, before his retire
ment in 1858. He was practical printer and a
good one. He learned his trade in Missouri,
though, we believe, he was a native Of Virginia.
His friends educated him for the ministry, but
he chose the pen editorial, which he welded
with an ability and used with an industry sur
passed by no other man in this State. We have
heard most prominent members of the Republic
can party acknowledge that he was the most tai
ented man in the democratic ranks of thus State.

Dr.. o. A. Brownson recently wrote slash.

in which he took occasion TO show up the gross
Inconsistencies of tho so-called Democratic par
ty. This article has called out George T. Buell.,
ESQ.,, eaitor of the United States Democratic
Review, in reply, in series OF articles when
have been published in and endorsed by the
Washington Union. We segregate the follow
ing passages from the last of Mr.. Bueli's ef-
forts TO show the manner in which leading
Democrats now scout their once favorlte dogma
Of popular sovereignty.

A Cold WEATHER MISUNDERSTANDING the
many sharp things in 'Porters SPIRIT" Is the fol-
lowing, which considering the present spell Of
cold weather is about as sharp as need be: A
heavy fire having occurred in Cleveland, safe
manufacturing firm in New York wrote to the
sufferers from the fire to ascertain how one Of
their safes had stood the scorching. The pro-
prietor wrote back that the ''safe" was "sate"
that it was wonderful, and adds that the night
previous to the fire, one ofthe clerks placed q
shanghai rooster in the safe for safe-keeping.-
In the morning the safe was dug out red hot
opened, and the rooster found cleaning up
