How He FoTED.-When the ssact provi-
ding for the revision OR amendmet Of the new
Constitution Of this State was passed by
the Legislature, Mr. Samuels, the anti bank,
candidate for Governor, was member of
the House Of Representatives, from Dubuque
county, and voted against the bill. [Ses
Journal Of the House Of '54-5, page S95. !
Thus we see that Mr.. Samue1s was even op-
posed to giving the people an opportunity to
say by their votes whether they wanted to
amend the Constitution Of the State or not:
His enmity to the reforms contained in the
new Constitution is no new thing-he has
been opposed to them from the frst.--FasrT

The following, which we copy from the
Toledo (Tama county) Tribune, is about
the character of the remarks concerning the
coming State Fair that we have seen in
nearly al. the papers of the State. We copy
1T for the purpose of showing our citizens
wnat is expected of them, and also the in
terest that seems to be everywhere felt in lhc
Fair:
''We are glad to see that the citizens of
the City Of Muscatinc, are making such pro-
iiclen5 preparations for the approaching
State FAIR. We always beliyed that the sad
state of things last year, did not reflect the
hospitable character of her citizens, nor their
accommodating spirit under the circum-
stances.
This year they are determined TO retrieve
what they may have lost by mismanage
ment. And we cannot see why Iowa should
not be proud of her State Fair. as We know
1t compares very favorably with most Of the
older States, and exccls that of many of the
new, and justly demands such preparation.
The efficient officers # the society are untir
ing IN their efforts to keep up It's reputation.
1t will be seen by the following resoiu-
tons. passed by meeting of the most
prominent citizens of Muscatine, that they
are determined to be right this year Read
them and set it down that on the 9th, 1th,
Sth and 9th Of October next, YOU will be
there. We expect to be and would b. pleas
ed to have the company of many Of our citi-
zens. Come gentlemen, get ready, and let
us 20, together with some of the beautiful
stock, grain, &c., YOU have raised this year :"

New and Important Railroad Pre-
tcrt.

In our paper to day will he found tn,
| proceedings of q meeting Of citizens OF tn
place to consider the project Of railroad
from this city through Northern Iowa an'
Southern Minnesota to st PAM. The NEE
ing was called on but few hours notice, Il
the instance of DR.. Brce, of Linn county
and DR.. Guthrie, OF Benton, who have bee
along the proposed line, sScertaining I'll
sentiments of the people concerning it. ]
is perhaps needless to say that the PROPOSE
ton is everywhere received and encouraged
with enthusiasm. Our own citizens ar,
warmly enlisted in the enterprise.
The ''lowa and Minnesots Northwestern
Railroad' is but an extension at the Ceda.
Valley Railroad, which has been a fsvorit'
project of this city for several years past
1t follows the ine Of the Cedar Rapid
branch of the NJ. a. NJ. r. y. far rs Mt. Yer
non, keeping on the east side Of Iowa river.
At Mt Vernon it crosses the Clinton road.
which is now nearly completed to Cedar
Rapids, by which we will have connection
with The latter place. At Bradfc rds branch
road is proposed to diverge to Mankato,
Minn., on the great southern bend of The St.
Peters river. The main line will run from
Bradford on nearly direct route to ST..
Paul.
One of the many advantages of this route
is that it is on a nearly direct line from St
Paul to St. Louis, and will afford an cutie,
to the southern trade of Minnesota, and also
bring northern Iowa in a more direct
connection with the East than by any other
route, by means of our Gaesburg road. Ii
is perhaps known tomo.t of our readers that
alternate sectious of land have been granted
f. aid in the extension of the St. Paul and
Minneapolis Railroad to the northern line
Of Iowa between ranges 16 and 20 north
This grant, it is tl.onght, will be almost if
not quite sufficient to build the road from
st. Paul to the Iowa line. This is intended
to be part Of the Nuscatine and st. Paul
road.
IN addition to this aid, the counties of
Mitchell, Chickasaw and Bremen, in this
State, through which the road is intended to
pass, have each voted large amounts of
money for the construction Of the first rail-
road passing through their burders-the
former 5000. 600. the second $50, 200, and
the last named $l0t ,OOO. The citizens along
;he entire inc viii give literally towards its
construction.

Our neighhor Of the Fnquirer is becoming

70 quote from Scripture. "By Their fruits

since its organization three Years ago. The

he Republicans did not repeal the Nebraska

Of Congress to prohibit slavery in the terri
! tories, is reiterated. The bribery of two Re-
publican members Of Congress to vote for
certain land grants is made the basis for 4

grand, sublime and terrific. We cannot re-
