Democratic Ratification Meeting.

Agreeably to the call of sundry and d.
vers "wheelhorses," the untcrri6ed TUNED
out, as we have good Democratic authority
for saying, sin goodly numbers to the Rati-
Gca.ion meeting on Saturday evening" last.
At an early hour, we were appraised of the
gathering of the ssclans," by the booming
Of anyils, the smell Of yillainous gun
powder, and the conIagration Of old bar
rels, boxes, etc. We have good authority
for stating that "Me almost enthusiasm
prevailed" Although we were there, we
do not mako this last statement on our
own responsibility--our Imagination is at
fault-we cant stretch it enough to utter
anything Of that kind. Deliver US from
such enthusiasm lit is too closely allied
to lakewarmncss, to suit our sanguine tenn
permanent. Bat again--ssSoma spirited and
appropriate resolutions were adopted
but sad totelate, We fear they are forever
lost. We have no hesitation in saying that
they were s.spirited and appropriate,' and
we much regret their mysterious disappear
ance. We do not recellect the import of
all the resolutions, but We can give an ink
ling Of one that was decidedly appropriate.
1t cordially invited sold line Wings" to co..
operate with the Democratic party, in order
that the Dcmocratsof Pottawattamie eoun-
ty, could send greeting to the whole world,
andthe ssrest Of mankind, |" that their COM
mon foo, the Black Republicans, had been
most gloriously rashed-capsised, CARROT
ed and knocked into nonentity, and that
the Dutch weroin full possession Of Holland!
Great and glorious tidings to the untcrri-
fed of the Hawkeyc State. We feel great
anxiety as to the fate Of tho missing sstiocky-
msnts," and are willing to render all the
aid in our power obring them to light, and
in furtherance Of this inclination, it may be
as well here to state, that the last we saw Of
the aforesaid spirited resolutions, they mere
in the possessios Of the editor of one Of the
Democratic organs, published in this city.
And that there may still be no doubt as to
the seriousness Of our intentions and deter
mination in this regard, We hereby offer a
reward Of copy Of the .'persondt liberty
ball." to be passed by the Black Republicans
this winter, for the delivery into our hands,
of the bona tide original copy Of the aforc-
said resolutions. Some appropriate and
spirited speeches were made by Distinguish
cd speakers, ~ but as neither of the organs
votchsafo word in relation thereto, We
fofbear any comments. ssUtmost eathusi.

Our trip from Leayenworth down, was
marked BY no unusual circumstances. We
encountered the usual number Of snags and
sand-bars, but fortunately, though they
sometimes sent1us reeling, they did not OBJ
tain sufficient hold upon the boat, to do US
any injury, or detain us for any length Of

him and the subject, but he would not let
it alone. He urged me to visit Kentucky
and see for myself, and pledged me the free

-Our contemporary has either overlook ed one ma
sea Or article in the Constitution Of the Uait
ed States or hc does not fully understand the genfws
OF our sosernment.-Bggle
We certainly de net understand it in the
manner the Bugle interprets it. We UNDER
stand the genius of our Government to be,
to secure to the inhabitants Of this cenfed-
eracy, the inalienable rights Of s'ife, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" We con-
send that these ends cannot be attained BY
the exteasioH Of tho area Of slavery. To
prove that we are not mistaken in this idea
of the genius of our government, we will
give the testimony OF Mr.. MADISON. He
said, addressing the Convention -ssWe In
tend this Constitution to be the GREAT
CHARTER or HUxAN LIBERTY to the unborn
millions, who shall enjoy its protection, and
who should never know that such an insti-
tuition rs slavery, was ever known in our
midst" The first Congress wl.ich assem-
bled under this Constitution, enacted the
perpetual interdict against slavery, in the
territories, which had been applied by the
ordinance of 'S7. Was that act Constitu-
tional? Let us see what THoxAs JEFFERSON
says; Gas to laws governing the proceed
ings Of the legislature, that body must judge
for itself the constitutionality Of the law,
without appeal or control for its co-ordi-
nate branches" Therefore, We takeit for
granted, that JEFFERSON held that the ordi-
nance Of '87 was valid. And if that was
valid, why not the compromise of 1920.
ARTICLE 10th Of the amendments of the
Constitution covers the whole case. stThat
powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to
the States, are reserved to the States respcc-
lively, or to the people,"
Reserved to what people? To the peo-
pie of the Territories? No sir-it is not
50 "nominated in the bond" To the
pcople-to the people Of the United States
Tho whole society. That's the way we
understand it. And we maintain that the
people can delegate that power to Congress
AND that Congress, in the exercise Of the
power 50 delegated, can prohibit the intro
duction Of Slavery where it has not before
existed. Such has been the course pursued
from the time Of WAsHISGroN's administra-
tion down to PIERcE's. The records of
Congress will show this statement to be |
true.

Western Land ccuIation.

What is Western land speculation in re-
atty? 1t is simply this: One man buys land
at 81 ,25 and sells it at $50 or So 90, and
invests again ssfurther west" The second
purchaser makes some improvements upon
the lands, and sells for S5,0 90 per acre. In
the mean time another 'sspeculatoro has built
mill near by and lays out village, and
the third purchaser sells the tract Of land
of which we have been speaking at SIS or
20 per acre. In a year or two ssa railroad
comes along" which is built by some other
"speculator," because it will pay, and the
fourth buyer sells for $25 per acre, to a
purchaser who wishes to put on improve
ments and occupy it himself, to whom the
same property will be worth $50 per acre in
a few years. ....-r
Here are four men who have doubled and
trebled their money withina year or two from
the day Of investment, and this is the SIM
pie history of land speculation in the fertile
West. Mind you, We say fertile, for when
the last man who wants the land for farm
ing purposes can realize II per cent, inter-
est, with the chances in favor Of its again
doubling itself in value, where, let US ask,
is tho chance for a sscrisis," 'scrash 20
The true secret of this croaking at the East
is in the fact that thousands on thousands
are leaving the worn-out lands of the older
States and seeking the West, where not on
" fertile lands can be bought cheap, but
where fortunes have been made by thousands
on thousands Of men Of small means, and
where the same luck awaits thousands on
thousands more, who are on hand in season,
and where farming will pay, all things con-
sidered, two hundred per cent. better than
in most of the Eastern States. The Eastern
journals know this, and hence their scare
scrow stories of the dangers of the land in
vestments Of the West.-lMddison Journal.

in the Burlington Hawkeye, of Sept. 5.
Louisville, Sept. 4.
( The report that Stallion broke loose and
tipped over . peanut stand thereby causing
an old lady to suspend bushes, needs con-
frmation.
The HaUkeye, contained the following
consoling editorial remarks in relation
thereto. 'sBy reference to our telegraphic
column this morning, it will be seen that
the report of the devastation of peanut
stand at Louisville, BY rampant and badly
governed stallion, is generally believed to
be incorrect. We are glad to hear it. Amid
the general crash Of business houses, and
the terror which at this time, inyades the
minds of our fnanciers, it is refreshing to
know that the Falls City has not suffered SO
terrible a crash" ..
