For the National Era.
TO THE UNEMPLOYED IN QUE EASTERN
CITIES.

Far off from the Office of the Era, west ofthe
great waters Of the Mississippi, lies the De.
moline valley, watered by innumerable clear and
sparkling streams, skirted with beautiful groves,
and holding in its lap prairies of unrivalled
beauty and fertility. There nature hiss iavished
her choicest blessings ofa delightful and healthy
climate, unequalled agricultural resources, and
mineral wealth in inexhaustible abundance.
There lands can be procured at reasonable
prices, which will amply repay the toll Of the
husbandman, and there every necessity of life
can be obtained at prices far below those paid
in the crowded East. There liberal-hearted,
generous people are sympathizing with your
misfortunes, and ready to receive you into their
midst, where your labor will be appreciated
and amply rewarded.
1t is surprising to see the crude and imper-
feet notions retained in the East, of our prosper
Gus and happy State of Iowa. Many doubt
whether the wild Indian and savage beast of
prey does not still prowl over these regions,
and can scarcely realize that large and prosper.
GUS towns and innumerable well.cultivated
farms cover the face of the country. Measur.
ing our growth by their own, they hastily sur.
mise that this is yet but bowling wilderness.

oonveniences of life. But what is the reality :?

To the Editor of the National Era:
SIR: This county (LivingstoD) gave one hun.
dred and FIVE Republican maj ority for Fremont
and Dayton, at the Presidential election. This
fall, the bogus Democracy elected most of the
county officers. By protesting to not make
party test, they got some of the "Softs" Of
the Republican party to vote with them, and
consequently they elected their ticket, or the
greater part of them. After the election, they
crowed Justify over Democratic victory, right
smart, to the discomfort of their Soft friends.
hope they got their eyes open to the importance
of sustaining principles in county as well as
State elections.
This county has a model Republican paper
1t has been in operation about two months. The
editor is what call an independent mana
man with backbone-which is truly refresh.
ing in these degenerate times. Give me an indie
pendent man, on any subject, before one that is
time-server, and I'll respect that man if he
does oppose me. What say you, DR.. Bailey2
Oven Lovejoy is our Representative in Con.
gress from this district. he is true friend of
the North, and will make an able advocate of
the cause in Congress. We truly rejoice to be
represented by such noble man as the brother
of the first martyr in the Anti Slavery cause in
this country.
That Kansas bogus Constitution is the great
est outrage that has ever been perpetrated on
any free people. If Congress adopts it, hope
the people of Kansas will revolt for then for
bearanoe will cease to be virtue. The people
of Kansas should not vote on it, or sanction it
any way at all.
Yours, truly, S. s. CowAN.

On the same occasion, Stanton, Bigler, and

little Walker then knew-is patent to all now.
The future, nevertheless, to my vision, is quite
clear. The Territorial Government continues.
