TO all other similar cases now pending
BY this decision, based upon the decision
Of the Supreme Court in the bred Scots
case, it will be seen that Negroes will not
be allowed the right Of pre-emption. This
decision conflicts directly with the decision
made not quite one gear ago, BY the De-
partment Of the Interior. In November
1856, IslAH LAWRENCE, free colored man,
wrote to the Department at Washington, to
the effect that he desired to settle in Min
nesota, and wished to know if being OF
African descent, he could do 90 and acquire
the right of presumption. The Secretary
of the Interior, Hon. ROBERT McCLELLAND,
returned the following answer:
DEPARTMENT. OF THE INTERIOR.
November ~, 1855.
SIn:Your letter Of the 18th inst TO the secretary
OF state has been referred to this department. has
ing the supervision Of matters connected WIN tne
public lands. sfa8 -
In reply thereto, I have to state that THERE IS
NOTHING IN THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES;
WHICH WOULD PREVENT You AS FREE NAN
OF AFRICAN DESCENT FROM SETTLlNG UPON
PUBLIC LANDS IN THE TERRITORY OF AlNNESO-
IA. AND ACQUIRING RIGHT OF PRE-EAPTloN.
Respectfully, your obedent servant.
Now, if there is nothing in the laws Of
the United States, to prevent free colored
man from acquiring the right Of presumption,
what need was there of this late decision?
None, of course. The only plausible pretext
upon which to hang this late decision, is the
new code Of political ethics inaugurated BY
the bred Scott decision of the Supreme
Court. The principles involved in that decis-
ion must be carried out, even in contravcn-
ton of the laws OF the United States and all
former decisions!- SO says the present adj
ministration. The course the Locofoco party
has been pursuing of late years, reminds US
of the description of a country road once
travelled by some dignitary, which, as ne
says at the start was broad and plain, straight
and smooth, promising pleasant journey,
and speedy arrival at the desired goal, but
soon began to twist around fences, and wind
through the woods, becoming less distinct
at every step, until at last, it ended in
rabbit track, and ran into the ground!

"Our Strange Alarums are Changed to Merry
Mcetings,n

Some rascally "Black Republican" has
frightened the editor of the Bugle nearly out
of his wits. Tho latter wants to run for
Senator, and a leading "Black Republican"
has threatened to defeat him, by dividing
the Democratic party. He pours out bis
soul-shaking emotions in the wild and pas
sionate editorials of the daily Bugle. In
Thursdays issue he devotes a column of la
bored reasoning, to prove that the Demo-
cratic party is unit, and to show that the
Boosting of that "Black Republican," leader,
was without foundation, and premature -
He pitches into the '.prctessed Democrats
who held meeting denomnated ''Demo-
cratic meeting," and says that they repudia-
ted the action of the '.propcr constituted
head of the Democratic party,"-declares
that he thinks ssthere is but one party of
Democrats, but tuo parties who claim to DO
leaders," II Democratic organ admits
this much, We do not wonder, that s'lead-
er Of the Black Republican party" should
be led to make the remark attributed to him
by the Bugle. The editor in his attempt to
prove the unity Of the Democratic party,
goes on and states the differences eristtng,
and then submits theory to unite the par
ty. That is another acknowledgement that
tho Democratic party of this County is d.
vided. We hope the editor of the Bugle,
will quiet his fears, and persist in declaring
the Democratic party of this County unit,
for We believe il to be such, Notwithstanding
the meeting of the '.professed Democrats"
acted without any regard to the action Of the
"proper constituted head of the party
The "constituted head' is but a small Cor
poral's Guard of the main body. Coming
events We believe will prove this assertion
true.
As for the "Black Republican party in
this Senatorial District," being sangains in
their calculations to carry the district at the
approaching election, is most true. That
they edo not expect to carry it with Repub-
lican votes'' is entirely without foundation.
They have nothing to expect from divisions
in the Democratic ranks, at least as far a.
present indications admit of data. We
firmly believe that We have majority in
this District, and in the State, and shall
use every eudeavor, consistent with pr,nci-
pie, to secure the election Of our men at the |
coming election. We hope this will be sat
isfactory to our opponents. We expect the
Democratic party to resort to their usual
method to defeat our ticket. and to elect |
their own-a privilege to which We have not
the least desire to interpose an objection.
We believe that the Republican party viii
succeed, the people believe its principles are
just md correct, and with this feeling actu-
ating them, we expect they viii rally to the
support Of our nominees With a determine.
ton to battle manfully for their success.

We place at the head Of our paper to-day,
the ticket nominated BY the Republican
State Convention, at Iowa City, on the 10th |
inst. With the gentlemen composing that
ticket, We are not acquainted, bat from the |
uaasinity with which they were nominated,
we feed safe in saying, that they will prove
acceptable to the people Of the State, and
triumphaatly elected to the Offices, for which
they have been placed in nomination.
The pending election is probably the most
important one, in which the people Of the
State have been called upon to participate.
The people, BY their votes, have declared in
favor Of new organic law, and it now be-
comes necessary that the friends of tho in
strument should be entrusted with the
moulding Of the statutory enactments re-
quired to faithfully carry into execution the
provisions contained therein. As the or
gans OF the Democratic party have declared
their unalterabfe hostility to the New Con-
stitution-and declared their willingness to
render nugatory many Of its proyisions-the
friends of that instrument should rally to
its support, with unanimity and concert Of
action, that will insure its faithful execu-
ton. Under the New Constitution, the peo-
pie Of Iowa will be called upon, on the sec-
ond Tuesday of October next, to elect a
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Repre-
sentatives to the General Assembly, and
successors to such Senators as were elected
in August, 1854. 1t will be seen that the
Republican party has placed in nomination
candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. We are assured that the nomi-
nations made, are ft and proper for the
place and the time. 1t is all important that
these men should be elected, that the pco-
pie may thereby rest assured that enact
ments necessary for carrying into effect the
provisions of the Constitution, will be sub
ject to the approval Of the friends Of that
instrument. s ... s.. e.s .s
It is also Of the utmost Importance that
the members Of the Legislature to be chosen,
should be in favor of the New Constitution.
In this district, a Senator and Representa-
tive are to be chosen, and it behooves the
Republican party to hold themselves in read
mess to contend for the principles of their
organization-to place in nomination good
men-and to work manfully and unitedly,
until they are triumphantly elected. The
Republican party can elect Senator and
Representative from this District, if they
will only go to work with determination
SO to do. 1t is duty the Republican par
ty owe to themselves, to the New Constitu-
ton, and to the best interests of the coun-
try, to put their shoulders to the wheel, and
never relax their efforts, until the principles
they advocate are triumphant, even upon the
"Missouri Slope" Will they do it?

FoUND OUr.-That "retircd clergyman whose
sands of lie are nearly run out, ," aud who adver.
tises so extensively that he will send recipe for
curing certain complaints on receipts of pc tIge
stamps, &C., has been exposed. The editor of the
Lancaster pa Examiner was coaxed into sending
to him for his recipe, and he thus t,lls us about
it:
We have spent considerable time and money in
sending these fellows for their different remedies,
I ON the celebrated Honey down to the Rev. DR..
McD4ngal, the retired Clergyman who purposes TO
cure the nervous sufferer ior nothing. Well, the
reverend geutlrman's preparation is as follows:
Alcoholic extract OF ignorantia amara-3O grs.
Powdered gum arabic 10 grs.
Make forty pills and take three times a day.
Where the reverend impostc: got the wonderful
medicine from il would be hard TO tell. But most
certainly il neither be found in any OF the medi
Cal botanical books, drug sores or any othfr
place, but must come from the inventive genius OF
the Doctors head, who will srnd il by mail on re-
ceipt OF an extra dollar, merely to nay expenses.
This certainly is the most ingenious manner that
has been devised yet to gull the public, and goes
far ahead OF Professor Divers fifty ways to make
a fortune, which without exception the great
est piece Of swindling ever practiced on the COM
munity .-Ercto"gs Paper.
The ''rerired physician" is a bit of wag as well
as an experimental public folly for his own profit.
This "guorantia amara" is that article better known
10 England common creduli'y, which induces so
many individuals to become seIt-condemncd duPes,
by placing the mselgcs voluntarily within the arts
of shorpers AMI swindlers who scarcely pretend to
cover their frauds with even the sembance OF truth
or probability. l. is not Necessary to resort to the
alcoholic extract of the article. Ii is sufficiently
stultfying its simple condition for all practical
purposes.

ity, that Gen. Walker eau secure FIVE thousand men
aud quarter Of million of dollars, besides can
non, shells, shot, ammunition, and supplies to any
needed amount, within thirty days notice. The
money (25O, OOO) is ready and subject to his draft
at any moment. Walker does not desire more than
one thousand men, he is satisfied that with that
number he can conquer and keep possession of Nj
caragua in spite of all the Central American armies
that can be brought into the field against him. He
is operating quietly at present, and keeps his own
counsel; but the departure Of another expedition
from New Orleans, sometime the coming fall, well

g5g The editor Of the Richmond South. who was
one of the ablest and elecuce of all the sup
porters of Mr.. Buchanan's election has no sort of
respect for the Cabinet and apparently precious
little for the Presid"- himself He says in his pa
per of the - .nat, although there are four men
from the South in the Cabinet, the South has really
but single representative in it, the other three
having been clearly drawn from the Democratic
party with other reGari than that nee, ssary in
the distribution OF the SPOTS" The editor closes
thus
We can only t,ust, as we do with great conf
dence, knowing Mr.. Fhompsons truth, zeal, and
ability, that the single representative Of South
ern rights, in the Administration, he viii appre-
cilte the great importance Of his position in the
Cabinet, and make his Influence felt as far as pos
siUlc in the protection of the grave interests, not

Union.
