CHARAcTERIsTIc.--Thc manner in
which the ultra-pro-slavcry press now
abuse Senator Douglas is entirely
characteristic. They believe in entire
submission on the part of their slave
and generally are inclined to fec
them well, and give them an occasion
al glass of corn-whiskey when their
tasks are performed to satisfaction.
But let the negro grumble, hold back,
or especially if he be saucy, and
"crack" comes the ovcrsccr's whip
around the "boy's" shoulders.
Douglas has been quite a pet with
his masters till lately. Now see how
they lash him. The punishment is
not likely to be received with ready

No Mail.

To compel editors to issue ncwspa-
pers without exchanges is very much
like the task imposed upon the
Israelites of making bricks without
straw. We arc told that, hereafter
we are TO have but one mail per week,
and that by the way Of Independence |
and GAINESVILLE. During the past year,
in addition to the Independence mail,
we have had tri-weclly mail by way
of West Union. This was brought by
Walkers stage line but just now,
when the passenger business does not
pay, we are told by Walkers men that
they will not bring the mail-that
they are under no obligations to do so
not having any contract. But we
understand there is a contract OK
listing with some one, whom we know
not and that he entrusted the mail to
Walker.
Mr.. NJ. O. Walker is a man who re-
sides in Chicago, and is doing an OK
tensive business at staging, or passcn-
ger carrying, in Iowa. 1t appears to
be his policy to break down all com
pcting lines and even non-compcting
lines, where it is probable he can make
q cent, either Immediately or prospec-
lively, by carrying passengers on
those lines. He will by this means
compel mail contractors to pass their
mails over to him, which he will
carry regularly or irrcgularly in those
seasons of the year when the passcn-
ger business pays; but at other times,
whenever it suits his convenience, the
mail is thrown aside and the poo
pie may help themselves. lie has en-
tered into no bonds, and is therefore
under no obligations. The Govern
ment ought never to give contract
to Walker, nor should it permit him to
have the carrying Of the mails, under
any circumstances. lie lives out OF
the state, has no sympathy in common
with our people, and is only running
stages here for the purpose Of swindling
the people out of their money. We
say swindling, for the innumerable
abuses which he and his agents
practice upon travellers amount to
nothing less.
We understand that Mr.. McClintock
of West Union is about tovisit Wash
ington for the purpose of procuring
some reforms in the mail service o
Northern Iowa. We trust he will SCI
to it that we have daily mail VII
West. Union. The line should be cX
tended westward to Clear Lake il
Cerro Gorrdo county. The business
wants of the people along this line i'm
pcratively demand a daily mail. II
is also necessary that there should be
distributing office either at Nc
Gregor or Prairie du Chen for the &C
commodation Of this section of country
The mail lettings for Iowa are tc
take place the coming spring, but the
service will not commence till the first
of July Now this is a long time for
our people to suffer for the want OF
proper mail facilities. Can nothing
be done for us Immediately? The pco,
pie who, in these popular sovereign.
ty" times are not permitted to have
any voice in postoilicc and mail ar.
rangements, naturally turn to their
postmastcrs with the expectation that
they will confer with the Government
and use their cndcavors to have things
set right. Shall the expectations Of
the people be disappointed?

"Storage and Forwarding
PRAIRIE pu CHEN VS.. M'GREGoR.


MEssRs. EpIroRs At present, the !
business men of Il considerable por-
ton of Northern Iowa can obtain
goods from McGrcgor with greater
convenience than from any other point
on the Mississippi, and choose to do
so if they can be fairly dealt with at
that place. 1t has been a common
complaint that a large portion OF the
merchandise consigned TO the Metre
COR warehouse has not been proper
" cared for. and serious losses have
been sustained in consequence. NO
tice to owners, of the receipt of goods
at McGregor, has often been delayed
or omitted to their great disadvan-
tagc and in numerous instances,
when called for 10y agents or team
stcrs, they have been met with the
assurance that there were no goods IN
store for them; when it was known
that the goods had been there weeks
and perhaps months.
Another fact is deserving of notice,
namely: that different individuals are
charged such vastly different rates
upon similar goods and at nearly the
same time, as to look as though the
clsrks, or others, might have made a
SLIGHT mistake in favor of their own
pocket expenses.
Other vcxatious losses and delays
have occurred to business men during
the past season, from various causes,
and / am sorry to say Of such a ma
turc as to compel most of the parties
who have received goods via McGrcg-
or to believe that there was very care
less if not dishonest management, and
generally, l believe, Il little, if not
more, of each kind.
