The Spirit Lake Tr0nbles.

\ letter, dated January 18th, al
Spirit Lake, written by Orlando C.
Howe to Hon. c. c. Carpenter, informs
lis that the indications of general
invasion by the savages are numcr.
Gus. The settlers for forty miles
around are anxiously marking the
course of the Spirit Lake settlers, and
should they move away, a general
stampede will take place in the North
western counties. Homes will be de-
serted and vast amount of property
left to the dcprcdations of the savag,
es. A result of this kind would be
disastrous in the extreme. The from
tier settlements in their exposed con.
dition have a. just claim upon the gov.
ernmcnt for protection.
1t is a matter of Justice to state that
the late Governor Of Iowa, within the
past two years, has repeatedly remind.
ed the Administration of its duty to
prevent by decisive steps the encroach.
mcnts of the savagcs. But it seems
that the President has preferred to
garrison forts that are not needed, and
quarter an army upon Kansas to sub
serve his pro-slavery purposes, rather
than protect the citizens of Iowa from
the murderous onslaught of Indians.
Not an administrative finger has NOV
ed in cooperation with the Governor ;
and our outposts are now in as de-
fenceless condition as they would be
were there no military power in the
country.-DemOane Citizen.

Our County,,

A circular letter, giving a minute
and impartial description of Floyd
county-its location, climate, rivers,
soil, productions, &c.,--has been prin-
ted at this Office and is for sale at the
st. Charles City Bookstore lti prin-
ted on two pages of sheet of letter
paper, leaving the other two pages for
writing, and is sold at so cents per
quire or 2 cents a sheet. Many of us
have felt the burden, and often the
impossibility, of answering in detail
the thousand-and-one questions which
| our Eastern friends arc constantly
asking about the West, and especial
ly about our particular locality.
This printed circular is designed to
obvlate that difficulty. 1t embraces a
large amount of information, and all
its statements are believed to be
strictly reliable. 1t points out the
best routes for reaching this county
from the East /; the expense of car
riage for both passengers and mer-
chandise: statistics of the county; de-
scription of all the business places,
&c, &c. 1t is presumed that every
individual, man or woman, in the
county, who has worthy relative or
friend at the East, (and who has not p
will wish to use greater or less mum.
Der of these letter sheets in their cor.
respondencc. 1t is well to bear in
mind that, at present, we are a little
inland-away from water and railroad
commandments immigration is
apt to follow those thoroughfares, and
that the people of other towns and
cities are just now making strenu-
Gus cxertions to attract immigrants to
their localities.
Hotel keepers, merchants and 9TH
ers would do we'll to keep themselves
supplied with the letter paper on
which is printed this circular. The
information it contains should be
spread as widely as possible, and
every citizen in the county is inter-
ested in its early dissemination.

The LeCOmptOn Message.

In his late extraordinary Message
in favor of the Lccompton Constitu-
ton, the President urges that docu-
mcnt on the favorable consideration of
Congress, not because it is agreeable
to the people of Kansas, but becase
" its rejection will be kccnly felt by
the people of fourteen States of the
Union where Slavery is recognized
under the Constitution of the United
States" AS to the people of Kansas,
they are contcmptuonsly spoken of as
ga few thousands and stigmatiscd
as insurgents and rebels at that
whose wishes and interests are but
dust in the balance compared with
that of their lords and masters in Con.
grcss assembled.
In transferring the decision upon
the Lccompton Constitution from the
tribunal Of Kansas to the tribunal of
the nation, the President still Jealous,

first to last, has been acted upon by
the concoctors and friends of that in.

and Institutions of seventeen States OF
the Union, the President urges the lie,

that its rejection will be "kccnly felt .

the Union where Slavery is recognized
Hon. George Bancroft, the celebra'
ted democratic historian, listened to
the reading of the Message and when
it was concluded, pronounced it the
most disgraceful document that ever
issued from the pen of an American
statesman To be literally correct
on such interesting points, it seems
proper to state that the word applied
by the historian Bancroft to the
Lccompton Message was eliish

Ex-Governor Stanton.

Mr.. Stanton says that if the Lecomp-
ton Constitution is imposed upon
Kansas by Congress, and the slave
state ticket is returned elected, the
Governor will never dare to reside in
the Territory, nor will the Legislature
dare to convene there. That neither
would be safe for an hour, unless pro-
tected by United States troops. That
nothing but an armed force could COM
pei any thing like submission to the
Lecompton government, so Hagraut
were the frauds in which it originated,
and the tyranny by which it is enforced.
Nor is this feeling confined to the
eastern settlers nor to anti-slavcry
men. Stanton does not hesitate to
say that he would have preferred that
Kansas should be a slave State, but
the feeling of the territory is so decid-
edly, so overwhelmingly against it,
that it is utter madness on the part OF
any Southern man to attempt to make
it any thing but free State. Even
Stringfellow the most fanatical and
also the most capable of the border
ruflian party, is now arrayed against
the Lecompton Constitution, on similar
grounds. When there was hope OF
making Kansas a slave State, he was
for it now he knows that such an
attempt is prepostcrous, and can only
lead to civil war and the ruin of the
territory.
Mr.. Stanton thinks the President
has treated him in very unmannerl.
/ way. He left lucrative business It
go to Kansas very reluctantly, ant
not until he had twice declined it ht
followed the Presidents instructions
faithfully there, and was finally re
moved without one word Of explana
ton or apology.

The Democracy have been intensely
interested in the success of "Northern
Iowa." in the selection of officers, du-
ring the last three weeks. Many per-
sons have been unable to fix bounda-
ries to that section of country until the

caucus. There were four candidates
for the Senatorship in that assemblage,

Monday, and ran through our streets

The Supreme Court of this State
have lately decided that the license
law passed at the last session of the
Legislature is unconstitutional first,
because it becomes law by submits
sion of it to the popular vote second
ly, because it does not provide for its
uniform operation in every part of the
State, as all general laws must. The
prohibitory law, therefore, as amend
cd last winter, is our only law regula-
ting the liquor traffic. The friends of
temperance, as expressed by the late
State Temperance Convention, desire
the law to remain and time given them
to enforce it. In Mahaska and several
other counties of the State the law is
now enforced to the letter.
