J. III. GREEN.--This gentleman, the reform
ed gambler, is writing series of interesting
articles for the Ottumwa Courier. Mr.. GREEN
has written much upon the subject of gamb-
ling; and we believe that his efforts to counter
act the fascinating sin which almost ruined
himself, have been eminently successful. We
will he pleased hereafter to copy literally
from the communications Of Mr.. GREEN, be-
lieving that gambling and its concomitant, in
temper ance, are the most destructive evils of
the age. The distinguished reformer has se-
lected an excellent Iowa paper with which to
hold correspondence. The Courier is one Of
the most valuable papers in the State.-[Iowa
Citizen.
In behalfnf our accomplished correspond
ent, Mr.. GREEN, and on our own account. we
tender thanks friend DIXON for his very fat
terring notice, and can assure him that we
shall feel fattered " seeing the communica-
tions. Of Mr.. GREEE copied into the Citizen so
far as desired. We will also take occasion to
say to ourfriend Of the central organ, that it is
subject Of general remark and congratnla-
ton that 50 fruitful and vigorous pen as is
! wieldsd by ]. M. DIXON, Esq. ], is to be perm
! anently deyoted a tie interests OF our organ
at the Capital. The Citizen ought to have
large circulation n this county. 1t is worthy

THE PRESIDENTS MEssAGE.-We hAve'ro
room for extended remarks upon Yhis dccu-
ment which we complete this week. AZ 4
state paper it is superior totbose nfhisixtne-
diate predecessor. Except the Kansas qtsesa
ton, on which, with g large portion Of his
party, we differ with the. President very
widely, there is not much calling for especial
remark. We might say that the ideapf Com
gress exercising power over Banks in the
States,is novel, and inadmissibie. The States
have too long exercised this power, to- he
Invested of it now. The General Govern
inert can only coin money, and the sconstitu-
tion provides that nothing but gold and silver
shall be legal tender; bat the states don't
claim power to coin, neither have they attempt
ed to, make paper money legal tender. The
language of the Message in relation to Utah is
manly and right. II favors Pacific Railroad;
biit Indicates no route as it ought to have done.
Caution in futlre disposition Of the public do
main is properly recommended. US,

We hare ma commercial treaties with
England. Herfitizens may trade in our cities
and ours b he4. Vermont farmers sell pro-
ldnce amoantingzto thousands and tens of thou
sands of dollars annually in the city of Mon
treal. Now letsa British subject take chick
en- from one Of these farmers, by fraud or by.
force, and let his government endorse the act,
and we are instantly one people, knowing no
North, no South, no East, and no West, while
. foreign soldier is seen to defend so gross an
infraction of our rights. Now when has this
proYdpeople, ohwhoser bravery I'VE think we

Great Britain FOR nearly seventy years :" under

The DemOractic war.

". 8. District Attorney Knarp WIS in town
on Tuesday, in close cotssnlta,ion with the
leaders Of the party, He is reported as being
withthe Administration, and against Douglas,
on the Kansas question. Itreuains to be seen
to- what extent his mission was successful.
Orr distinguished fellow citizen, Hon. George
Gilaspy, democratic candidatsfor Lieut.. Gov
ernoratst the last election, has announced him
SELF unquivocally a Douglas man. W.belieye
the deinocrsts about here generally maintain
that position. An able accommodation over
the signature of g Iowa !, which the Ssatssssan
endorses, takes issue with the Union, the DO
sitions Of whichipaper, on the slavery question,
are ?ronounced e Dangerous Doctrnes.S, So
far as we are advised, large. majority almost
oil in fact, Of Democratic papers Il the
west are opposed tothe position Of Bachsnan.
These facts, together with the removal or Nc
Keen, the prescriptions OF T7efpisn and his
friends, the benishment Of the adherenrs 81 the
ADMINISTRATION from Tammany Hall, add the
avowed determination Of the AdHsinisfra
party in Congress to snob, ostfacise, humble
and ruin Douglas, in which the Richmond
South leads of, all seem to clearly Indicate a
breach in the democratic party,'which the flu
tureI will be more likely to widen Than to close
up. Mr.. Douglas, we don't believe, svdr will
recede. Much as might be said cf Ms incon-
sistency and motives, he has never vel, xhibit-
ed a trifiing or vascillating disposition. lat4en

of the general idea of property in man, and a
most distinct declaration that it required other
authority than itself, to create such an idea
But SO odious and abhorent was this idea to
the trainers Of the Constitution, that it could
not come in at az. even as possible result of
State legislation. Inv carefully erased the
word "seryitude," for the psrpose OF express
ing nothing but the obligation Of free persons,
and then, with equal care relieved themselves
from all responsibility in reference to the mat

wholly on local or sectional power. ..iil Cd
Now let US see what has been done g under
the Constitution y since its adoption. We have
waged a war with England to protect our
rights on the ocean, another with Mexico 10
protect ourselves on the land, another has been
threatened with England to protect our prop
erty on the northwestern boundary, and we all
remember. the famous war cry, /" fifty-four,
forty or fight" Indeed the chief work of the
Natiouai Government is to protect both person
and property from foreign invasion. Too
much then, cannot be said in defense of the
sdActity Of property in the intercourse of nations
or States. But when we undertake to slip
mas into the schedule of property, the !" Thin
BILE rigging" is "foo apparcnt.n The logic
of this operation, is like that of the man who
rejected the Bible because lie could never see
how Jonah could have swallowed llYe whale.
The truth abont the matter is, that in no way.
has the sanc.ity both Of person and property,
been SO fully illustrated and confirmed in the
intercourse Of civilized nations, as in the fact
that they have uniformly and scormfuuy re-
jeeted the,idea of property in man. Il

The ORDINANcE OF '87.-A new steam
or called the Union, made trip up the ST.
Josephs River to South Bend, Ind, one day
last week, and the newspapers further up
stream took advantage of tho visit for a
grand assault upon tho people Of South
Bend because they fail to keep the river in
a condition to allow the new boat to extend
her journey, 70 these complaints Mr.. Col
fax editor Of The South Bend Register and
member of Congress replies as follows: .i
"rhe ordinance of 1887 required all tho
navigable streams in the northwestern Ter
ritory to be kept nayigable, and SO we used
TO keep our lock for the benefit Of our up
river friends, and to show our obedience TO
the law, But nosO, the United States Su-
preme Court have declared that the ordi-
nance was unconstitutional and that what
wasn't unconstitutional was knocked into a
cooked hat by the Constitution Our folks
here have been reading the Constitution
ever since; and as they can't find the word
"lock" in il, they fear that TO repair ours
would be treason, and bring Walkers army,
mayhap, upon US" ,ai a s.i ss fep
