Z Tbs Baltimore Patriot, Of Saturday even-
ing contains . graphic account Of the recep-
ton and entertainment Of the guests from
the Western cities, who arrived in Baltimore
on Saturday morning last. Among the
speeches of the occasion those Of Mayor
Swan Of Baltimore, and Gov. Chase Of Ohio,
were pre-eminent. One of the concluding
paragraphs Of Gov. Chase's speech, touch
ing upon the American Union, deserves the
widest circulation. He said.
"You have spoken, eloquently, sir, of rail-
roads as bonds of union, and your obserya-
tons were as Just as they were eloquent.
No man conyersant with railroads can be q
disunionist. The social intercourse which
they foster, the ties of business which they
create, the mutual dependence which they
establish and exhibit, make disunion impos-
sible. There must, Of course, be differences
of opinion on some points. Real grievances
may from time to time demand redress.
But there is no evil Of which disunion is the
proper cure. And the more we see of each
other the less likely shall we be to commit
the error of thinking otherwise. The fact
is, that We who live along the line of the
American Central railway, don't mean to let
this union be broken up. Maryland will not
consent to- it, think. trust Virginia will
not. Ohio, am sure will not. Nor lndi-
ana, or Illinois or Missouri. Who, then,
will? No; sir. We may differ henceforth,
as we have done heretofore. We will main
tain our respective opinions and positions
with candor, courtesy, frmness and resolu-
ton. And we will refer whatever question
may be between us to the great American
tribunal Of popular discussion and popular
judgment. But in the time to come, as in
the time past, we cleave to the Union as our
ark of refuge, and under God our surest
guarantee of prosperity and power and abit-
ing glorY.o

and Canada at Detroit was effected on
Thursday last. The cable was suspended
from the ferry boat Windsor, and although
no appropriate machinery was on hand to
nav It out, all went of successfully.
This connection will prove great bene-
ct to the merchants of Canada and the West
generally. All communications hitherto had
to be carried across the river by hand, and
photographed there, by which process un-
necessary delays and mistakes occurred.

The post master at Independence, Mo-,
has received an official notice from the Post
master General, that the contract for carry
ing the mails from thence to the Salt Lake
has been set aside, and he is therefore order
ed to withhold the mails until further orders.
This is done by virtue of q right always re-
served by the department to rescind mail
contracts on giving due notice and one
months pay to contractors. In this case
the contract was taken by company of
Mormons at Salt Lake City, who have AREA
dy made several trips under it. So general
were the complaints of the mails having been
violated and letters opened, especially the
correspondence Of the Government officials,
that it became quite evident these Mormon
contractors were mere tools of Brigham
Young. The Administration has also taken
another step toward insuring the faithful
performance of the mail service in Utah. A
postmaster had, it seems, been appointed
for Salt Lake City who was not Mormon.
His commission was forwarded to him, but
never reached its destination, and duplicate
copies failed likewise. In fact, he was not
recognized by Brigham Young. He has now
received his commission in person at Wash
ington, together with full instructions as to
his course, and will be sent out supported
by protecting military force.

Silver State.
We have been passing through the age of
gold, which ought, according to the natural
order Of things, to have followed and not pre-
coded the era of silver. But the day of the
pale face among the precious metals is about
to dawn. Our Ell Dorado has become an old
affair, and now we are about to receive an
Argentine sister into our Republic. The
Gold State is likely to have as a companion
Silver State. The projected Territory of
Arizonai is reported to be as richly endowed
with silver mines as California is with gold
diggings. The Gadsden Purchase if all the re-
ports from that quarter should prove true,
will be almost as valuable an addition to our
territory as California. The Illinois, on her
last passage, brought among her freight sew
eral packages of silver from that supposed
desert which are represented as very rich.
Those ores were from the veins lately OPP
ened and occupied by the Sonora Exploring
and Mining Company, and were forwarded
by the manager of the Company from Tubdc
Gadsden Purchase, to the Company in Gin
cinnati.
The late discoveries Of silver in the Gads-
den Purchase, it is said, are attracting much
attention in California. Some Of the mines
are represented as very rich in silver, and the
proprietors are only waiting for Government
to protect the inhabitants of the Purchase
from the depredations Of the Indians to enter
extensively upon mining operations. The
ella River copper mines are about worked
by company formed in San Francisco, and
there is every probability that a region of
country which has heretofore been regarded
as utterly valueless, will prove one of our
most productive mineral possessions.-N.

New Constitution

have carefully examined the objections
urged against the constitution; but find none
Of any real weight. 1t is said it proposes
a collision with the general government, in the
provision that, s'in cases involving the life
or liberty Of an individual, the accused shall
have a right to a speedy and public trial by
an impartial jury.'' The provision is found
in every constitution, and it means only to
apply to cases arising from, under our ovn
constitution and laws. AS a party to the
Union of States, we have conceded to the
general government powers and rights;
which we can never resume or exercise
and among these we have conceded the right
of extradition of fugitiyes from labor
or crime. 1t is idle then, to contend that
back powers granted in the constitution of
the United States.
There is nothing in the new Constitution,
which, when properly constructed, contra
venes any provision of the constitution,
laws, or decisions Of the general govern
ment.
The provision Of the constitution which
takes from the legislature, and confers upon
q distinct tribunal, the management Of our
schools and school fund, commands my
special favor. Let it be husbanded as
legacy for our children, and let it no longer
be the sport Of politicians and Office holders.
In regard to the banking and paper money,
l should be hard money man, if it were
possible. But it seems ridiculous to set up
an abstract theory to govern US, which will
produce no result which we desire. Iowa is
surrounded on four sides by Banks. The
whole Union is mandatory of Bank paper
Iowa excepted.
The currency of every State circulates
here provided our private Bankers will take
it. II they do not, it goes at a discount
which the people must stand.
The former policy of Iowa is failure.
The old Constitution and our laws are
failure. Let the State resume its sovereign
ty over the currency. The people are to
control under the new constitution and say
whether they will have Banks or not. Give
me the voice of the people.
