dyet ne hare heardno complaints utter
ed against The privileged classes. It j.,
not question Of politics, for beth parties
in this county have chartered banks. Why
does our neighbour oppose them, then2 We
surely cannot tell. Certainly, mot because
the Laws under which it is sought to cstab-
lish Banks, are more defective and less
guarded, than those in other States, for We
take it, lat such is not the case. We do
not believe the the people of this State will
be gulled by the stale cry Of the incroach-
ments of the privileged classes" They have
long done without the ordinary financial ia
cilities enjoyed by other States-they have
suffered, even beyond computation, from
the rayages of intractible "wildcats" and
worthless ''rags' Of other States-they
have contributed their share Of scon6dence"
to all kinds of 'spromises to pay' sent forth
by the "priviloged classes" without our Dor
ders, and it would seem to us that the time
had now arrived for "change in the pro-
gramme.'' We are not arguing for the abb
stract right of banking. We are speaking
of Banks in this State as necessity for
self-defence. A purely gold and silver cur
rency here, is out of the question, SO long
as there is banking institution in the
United States. What shall we do? Con-
tribute to the support Of the ''privilegec
classes' of all other States, in preference
to citizens of our own State? We are moi
a disciple Of that school, and we have toe
much faith in the intelligence of the people
of Iowa, to believe for moment, that they

The Des Nloines Journal, of the 10Th,
with all the fanfaronade of righteous politi-
cal warfare, paradcs before its readers, what
tits pleased to term an "expose of corruption
in high places" It starts out by asserting
that it ''does not take pleasure in paradins
before the public, in connection with dis
honesty, and population, and Treasury
Plumber, the names of those with whom we
have associated as neighbors and gentlemen,
and who have been entrusted by tho People
with very important duties and trusts" Yet
it is reconcled to the task, by the consider
alton that by so doing it will render itself
more worthy of countenancc as Democratic
ccaarsfully READ the awful disclosures, and
are sorry to say that our contemporary is
wasting a vast amount of 'sthunder" to but
little purpose. 1t labors through column Of
mathematical deductions, to prove that the
parties who took the bonds for the State,
and agreed to furnish the bullion, will make
n snug little sum by the operation. 1t does
not assert, even by implication, that the
State will lose anything by the operation.-
Oh! no, only certain Black Republicans in
this State will make something. There's
the rub. We like the style of the Journal,
and only hope it will do it some more. We
are fond of Developments" and shall depend
upon the Journal for our supply, hereafter.

An Importsn, Tax Decision,

We understand that the United States
Supreme Court, ut Washington, have re-
Gently made highly important decision in
regard to the taxation of lands in new States
and Territories. The public lands belonging
to the United States are not subject to taxa
ton, and the decision Of the Supreme Court
is, that the title to the lands sold at the vari-
Gus land offices remains in the United States
until the patent is issued to the purchaser,
and consequently no State or Territory, has
any right to levy tax upon land for which
the purchaser has not yet received his patent
from the y. S. Government.
This decision will affect all lands offered
for sale for taxes in new States and Terri
tories. In Iowa and other new Western
States probably not ona person in twenty,
who bought the greater portion of lands
now advertised to be sold for taxes, has re-
ceived the Government Patent for them
Many tax titles will prove worthless under
this decision.

An Experiment Tried too Often,

The American Tract Society, ''for the
sake of peace" has resolved to do nothing
that, by possibility, may offend lave-hold-
ers: Says contemporary, "The Tract Socie-
ty is not the first body that has tried that
experiment. The Wing Party tried it.
Shortly after, the Wing Party ceased to ex-
list. The Democratic Party tried it. The
Democratic Party is tumbling to ruin
Methodist Conferences tried 1t. 1t split
them in two. Presbyterian Assemblies tried
it. 1t rent them to pieces. Tried BY
Mr.. Fillmore's Administration, it dug his
political grave. Tried by General Pierce's
Administration, it ousted them from Office.
A number of Northern members in 1850,
signed pledge to try it in Congress. Their
constituents never gave them chance
Various associations, religious, literary and
political have tried it since. But which of
them has achieved by it either "peace" or
profit ?N-Dmbudne Iimea.

Terrible sserm-1hs fswn u EIlIssins Desassys
ed-Seventeen Lives Lese,
We received yesterday from IN Illinois
correspondent the following pagtjculsrs OF
the Effects Of the storm Of Sunday evening .
rumor Of which was in circulation hers on
Tuesday.
Just before O'Clock Sunday evening the
citizens Of Ellisville, small town OF Warren
county, Ills, were alarmed by the porten-
tous blackness Of the approaching clouds in
the west. While they fooked through tor
rents Of falling rain Is seemed as if two ar
mics of clouds big with bursting storms had
come in contact, and then swept on in terri
Bile strife toward the devoted village. The
storm in its fury swept everything before it,
and when it struck the town demolished it
in an instant, sweeping the buildings from
their foundations and tearing the structures
in spliuters. The village consisted of some
twenty buildings, including large hotel
and two stores, all of which were swept
away, leaving not . vestige Of the village or
the buildings within its original limits.
It was dreadful scene Of human suffering,
not a single inhabitant of the place having
escaped uninjured. Thirteen dead bodies
were found, and four more persons died in
few minutes after their discovery. Many
others were SO dreafully wounded and man
gled that they only can survive in hopeless
agony for a brief period. "
One man has rib torn out exposing the
lungs to view. A woman has her skull bro
ken and the brains ooze through the frac-
ture; another has both hips broken. One
man was carried some distance through the
dir and dashed to the ground, breaking leg
and four ribs and mutilating his face. These
are but instances from number of like
character. The appearance of the mangled
dead and the agonized living beggars des.
eription.
On Monday the people gathered to the
scene of devastation and suffering from the
country round about, and from the neigh
boring towns, and rendered every possible
assistance. .- go
Preparations were going forward for one
of the most solemn and awful scenes that
has ever occurred in Illinois-the funera
solemnities of near twenty persons swept
into eternity together by the beast of the
destroying tempest.-keokuk Gate City.

Shall There BE a New Party:

Quite number of our contemporaries are
just now ngitating the question whether OF
not there shall be new party, and some
who pretend to be Republicans, are coquet-
ting with the South Americans, in hope that
by an entangling alliance with them, some
advantage may thus be gained over the Afri-
can Aristocracy, which calls itself the De-
mocracy. Such an alliance is not only i'm
practicable, but would be suicidal. There
can be no common bond of union between
the South Americans and the Republicans,
unless the former accept the platform of the
Republicans, and oppose the the extension of
slavery. Thisis the true, national, conserva-
tive ground which the fathers of the Republic
occupied, and upon which they sou ht to
raise the fabric of our free Institutions
Limitation of Slavery, and the extension of
Freedom-this is the ground which the Re-
publican party now occupies, and which it
cannot abandon without destruction. The
New York Courier and Enquirer, a we'll
known conservative paper, has we'll con-
sidered article on this subject, which takes
the ground that the Republican party is a
necessity to keep the Territories from Fed
eral interference and persecution Ohio

Ocean Steam Navigation.

Twenty years ago last Sunday the first
ocean steamer, the Great Western, built on
large scale, crossed the Atlantic and ar
rived at New York, when the experiment of
successful ocean steam navigation was con-
sidered as tested. Many years before a
steamer had crossed from Charleston, South
Carolina, to the British ports, but in the
main, till short time previous to the above,
the success Of steam vessels on the ocean, in
competition with sail vessels, was considered
almost entirely out of the'question. What
we have seen since, in this particular, was
then thought to bsnearer an ilnpossibility in
the public mind, than is the successful laying
and operation of the Atlantic Telegraph
Cable thought to be now. If this last con-
templated achievement is perfected, (as We
hope some that it will but fear more that it
will not we shall all have to give up the
point and acknowledge that "the earth does

The Iowa BANKING Law.

The Banking Law of Iowa, involving as
it does change in the constitution of the
State, which prohibits all banks of whatever
nature or description is to -receiye the. tote
cussion of any consequence has been elected
by the near approach of the election-whence
we conclude there will be very trifing op-
position to the Law. In its provisions it Is
exactly similar to the Ohio system, with one
exception. 1t provides for the establish
ment of a State Bank and branches, like the
State Bank of Ohio, and for free Banks on
the stock security plan. 1t differs from the
Ohio model in allowing the Auditor or comp
trollcr to receive as security for the latter
class of institutions, other stocks than those
of the United States, and of the State itself.
In this particular it copies other Western
States-following Illinois in the requirement
of margin of ten per cent, in the securi-
ties, to cover contingencies in their market
value.
We think on the whole, the Iowa law is
the best one in the West, excepting perhaps
that of Ohio. The character of the securi-
ty in the latter State is certainly superior,
but it would be impossible under existing
arrangements to make law of any practical
utility in the former, based upon its own
stocks-the Constitution of Iowa limits its
debt to two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. The experience of Iowa with the mel
ancholy fecundity of Nebraska Territory in
its shinplaster department, has been of
character, we think, to ensure an emphatic
vote in favor of safe home currency
