MORE "ABusE. "a correspondent
of the Davenport Gazette, without the
fear of Cook l. Sargent or Burrows 4
Prettyman before his eyes, is strong in
his denunciations of shinplastels. Hear
him talk:
Davenport stands in an anomalous
and unenviable POSITION. Her shin
plasters and deprecated currency have
riven out Of circulation nearly every
.h;no :-.'-a--r~ or ."0rOJ OoIu
and silver have become very scarce !;
exchange has risen to ruinous rates !;
and even foreign currency commands q
premium. A few miles distant, dol
lar of what is called money here, will
scarcely buy a cigar.
"There is no public necessity for the
issue Of shinplasters Of any description,
while the whole truth is that the people
are imposed upon by few individuals,
who, not finding it convenient to pay
their debts in any other way, have hit
upon the happy cxpedient Of issuing
their promises to pay 0d libitua'a, and
persuading the public to take them
as currency. This is much cheaper
than borrowing money at three per cent
per month, and how fortunate when one
cannot borrow! A capital idea! No
body will suffer but gullible public if
some Of these hard times fnanciers
prove in the end entirely irresponsible.
They can 60 on without limit or re-
straint.
- say, therefore, it is the duty of
every man to set his face against these
shinplasters. Until this is done we can
not expect to see any Improvement in
the money market. JUsTIcg. :
Strange to say the Gazette has moth
ing to say about the "abuse " its cor
respondent administers to the people Of
Davenport! And yet it is furious if a
citizen of any other place dares to init
mate that Florence paper and burrows

The PACIFIC RAnRoAD.-By one ol
these mishaps which will take place in
printing Offices as well asein the best
regulated families, that portion Of the
Presidents message relating to the Pa
cifc Railroad (about 100 lines) was
pied in type just before our last issue
went to press, and We were consequently
compelled to leave it out. On this
subject the President starts out very
well-contending that the general gov
ernment has not only the power but it
is made their duty by the Constitution
to construct the Pacific Railroad in or
der to protect our possessions west Of
the Rocky Mountains from invasion.
He finally makes the best argument he
can for the Southern route, and then
closes by desiring it to be understood
that he is not committed to any partic-
ular route! Like his policy on most
other questions of which he treats, he
says something for both sides, 50 that
in future. We presume, as in the past,
he may when convenient vindicate his
right to the title Of the ':3aci3s Bu-
chanan."
We observe that in the Senate, on
the 17th inst, on motion of Mr.. Gwin,
. committee of nine was chosen to con-
slider and report upon that portion Of
the Presidents Message which relates
to Pacific Railroad. MIR. .Gwin, as a
citizen of California, is deeply inter-
ested in the matter, and will exert all
his influence to urge forward the meas
ure. He has already introduced bill
for the construction Of this great thor
oughfare.

would submit the following, Wis:
All the papers competing for this prsmi-
um contain moro or less that is valuable in
preserving correct history Of the occasion.
The reports are 90 varied and most Of them
50 good that it is very difficult to determine
which is the best.
In the Burlington Ha,oksys we like the
criticisms on the Oil paintings and the de-
nuncia.ions Of lady equestrianism, although
your good taste and sense Of propriety had
induced you to rule out all such displays /;
and especially the Just and merited remarks
upon the disgraceful exhibition Of rosdsters
by running them in order to make even toll
cradle good time. The exceptionable as
we'll as Sommendable features Of the exhi-
bition should be told.
The Epyess d Herald Of Dubuque, in the
locati on and history of the grounds and the
list Of awards, is full and complete, but does
not indulge in 30 many reflections and criti
cisms as many Of the. Others.
The Keokuk Daily Post has very exssi-

The Oskaloosa Herald, Cedar Valley

Your committee would recommend the
continuance Of such premiums, and II your
finances will justify it ON moro liberal

give such encouragement to this department
as will secure ability and care in conveying

information. On the person of the deceased
