GRAND JUDICIAL ExpLo.r.-Ths journal
records for the admirstion Of ito readers
whatit seems to regard ~ very noble and
valorous exploit Of the Judge Of the District
Court Of the United States for Iowa. After
perpetrating a DELHI crate libel on the Rspub-
hcan party, by charging them with habituaI
attempts to disturb Democratic meetings, the
Journal says;
"Thc usual number was on hand last night
for the same purpose, but their ring Header
got such a tongue flashing from Judge Love,
as made him sneak of in double quick time"
If that be true, Judge Love may yet i'm
mortalize himself BY acting as policeman for
Democratic meetings, to quell riotous spir-
lite BY the digni6ed process Of "songue lash
ing"

thing has an end, and 20 had the Doctor's
long speech.
Van Antwerp was then shouted up. lie
took Frank Blair through. He kusw the fell
low when he was freckle faced stripling.--
Saw that he was ready to betray his party
then. lie had done it since. He bamboo
sled old Tom. Benton into running for Gov
ernor, when there wasn't the ghost OF a
chance of being elected, in order that he
might run into Congress under his wing. He
got to- Congress, by getting nearly eli the for.
eign vote. But he was left ct home now, BY
an emphatic vote. Nearly oil the Irish and
great proportion Of Germans had left him.
We beg leave to mention that the St. Louis
Anseiger says thas "svsry man" Of tho Ger
mans voted for Blaifj and to Az the Gene
raj why, il such large bodies Of mon had loft
Blair, how it happens that he had 300 more
votes now than when he was elected. The
Gen. talked about the times whom be slised
the old Missourion, and finished BY quoting
the stanza Of Bryant, Con which Lynch
broke dawn,) to show his superior classical
attainments, and committed three srrsrs in
the net
Alex. Lynch then answered . call, but was
very brief, and didn't clay himself out" very
extensively, evidently meaning to leavs no
exposed point for the reporter.
A call was then made for Sample !; but the
hour was late, and he declined, saying he
would improve other opportunities.
And then adjourned the most farsioal and
foolish. the weakest and most ridiculous DO.
litical meeting ever held in Keokuk, no two
speeches agreeing in sentiment, and no one
speaker agreeing with himself, or having
hardly a clear idea Of what he had to soy.
CT Under the English bill Kansas was to
be admitted as a slave State with her present
population. She rejected the English bill
because she was opposed to slavery. The
question now comes up, shall she be admit
ted ne free State, with q constitution Of
her own making, with her present popula.
tion2 The shareholders will oppose her ad-
mission, Of course. Will the Democracy Of
the North, will the Democracy OF lows, I'D.
init Kansas ~ free Stats with the Same
population that the President and the Dem
ocrasic party, with the exception Of few
Douglas men, were willing to admit her -
a slave State? Will the Democracy Of the
North give Freedom an equal chance with
Slavers7 Will the Douglas Democracy of
Iowa Insist on the odous discrimination OF
the English bill, BY voting against the Cd
mission Of Kansas as free State, after the
Democratic party in Congress has invited
her into the Union ~ slave State? dow
stands the Journal, and how stands the
Democratic candidate for Congress upon
this question: Let Us hear from you, gen.

Said he was not pro.slavery man. II he

Gibson Brown followed Sam Marshall
lie 10 good speaker knew what be wanted
to say, and how he wanted TO say II. He
went about the business in ship. shape fashion.
But the line Of argument Was this The
Democratic party are in favor Of letting the
people legislaie for themselves. The Re.
publican party deny their right to slegislate
for themselves, and assume the prerogatiye
Of legislasing for them. The Republican
party assume the same position that tho
British Government assumed with respect to
the American colonies. The Democratic
party assume the position maintained By the
colonies. The Republican party wanted to
rule the PEOPLE from distance. The Dem
oeracy would let the people ruls themselves,
on their own ground. Said the position Of
the Democracy was the position not only OF
right, but also Of the Law and the Constitu-
ton, Tor that by the Constitution and ID law
Congress had no power to legislate fcr the
territories. Said this was fact that no
lawyer would contradict. Said the Supreme
Court had 80 decided. The decisions we're
to this effect: II Congress had the power to
legislats for the territories, that power ex-
listed in Congress alone. It Was delegated
to them, and 70 no body else, and they had
no power to re-delesa1e il. The annuucis-
ton and enforcement Of these views com.
prised the whole Of his speech. We wont
stop to discuss Law with him, though wha.
he says 10 law, no juriSt in the land ever
maintained, Congress never acted upon it,
and every statesman Of influence since the

but n single glass Of wine, and that in compli-
ance with the request of a young lady with

was unseen, taking a glass to satisfy the
slight desire formed by his social indulgence.
He thought there was no danger.

meeting at night, to spend a short time in
convivial pleasure. He said it was only limo.

saw him yet once more. He was pale,
cold, motionless, and was CARRIED by his
friends to his last resting place. In the small
procession that followed, every head was
cast down, and seemed to shake with uncom
mon anguish.

grave in sorrow. His mother wept to thinE
that she had ever given birth to such

License Question.

On the first page ofthis paper will be found
n second letter from DR.. scroggs, on his pro-
position for 50 amending the license laws of
North Carolina as to give, in a measure, at
least, that protection to community which
their adoption originally contemplated.
DR., $. very properly takes the position,
that license laws were e~nacted-not to facili-
tate the sale Of liquor-not to protect the
liquor-sellcr in the prosecution of his bust
ness-but, on the contrary, to trammel and
discourage the traffic, and by statutory en-
actments protect society, as far as practical
bic, from the evils necessarily growing out
ofit-the idea Of revenue, being, it is true,
also an incidental consideration.
This fact being universally admitted by
all intelligent persons, the question arises
Have these objects contemplated by the Ii
eenselaws, been contaminated ? No, verify
I~ntemperance has been increased by them
the traffic has been largely increased-socie
ty is made 20 suffer every year more ant
more, and instead Of being source Of reve
nue., il imposes the heaviest burdens in the
way Of taxation the people have to bear. Il
it not time then, to improve upon the law az
i now exists, so that som Of the benefits
claimed by the license system may be reali
zedP This is all that DIR. Scroggs proposes
Read his articles on this subjeA carefully
and without prejudice, and then act.

Mind your Stops.

DO not q" stop" at the bar room. Merry
laughter may ring out from it as you pass
by, and voices of friends and companions
may call you to enter. Within, it may shine
brightly with light thrown back from polish
ed .%hirrors, and CLEANS from crystal bottles,
and the voices Of mirth and gaiety may be
heard there but stop" not: there is dan
ger in it's brightness. Those cleaning bot
ties contain potions that lead to poverty, dis
honor, and death. The merriment there is
the laughter of fools and may end in the
horrible laughter of the maniac. Avoid
it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass
away"
DO not stop" at the gambling house
Those close shutters conceal t~reacheries and
destinations you may find yourself too weak
to resist.
