For the Guardian

rOr the OuurulaH.
Mr.. EDITOR Il notice in your col
umes of last week, a communication
from "VINDEx," on the claims of w.
CHANDLER for Justice of the Peace for
Washington Township. With "V1NDEx"
| would say, that the Office is one of i'm
portance and should be filed by man
every way qualified to assume and dis
charge its duties (whether under the
peculiarities of the laws of Iowa." or any
other State, and l am truly glad that
we have, in the person of L. w. Cook,
the embodiment of such candidate and
officer as our laws demand and our COM
munity very much need. L. w. Cook
needs no comments from me upon his
abilities Or qualifications to fill the Office,
as every one who knows him, knows
him to be man of superior jnd gment,
undoubted integrity, and possessed with
probably as great powers of analyzation
of the subtleties of the law, as our friend
VINDEx," or his idolized Justice. Our
friend L. w. Cook has acted as aJustice
of the Peace in one of our older States
with honor to himself and universal sat
isfaction to his constituents. And I
think, Mr.. Editor, with "VINDEx," that
on the second Tuesday of October next,
the citizens Of Independence will show
how to appreciate and how to sustain
our worthy friend, L. w. Cook, 10 the
important Office of Justice of the Peace.
A CITIZEN.
The above communication has been
written without the knowledge Of L. w.
Cook, but he is willing to serve if
elected, so we announce his name as
candidate for the Office of Justice of the
Peace for Washington Township.
A CITIZEN.

A New Step for the Pro-Slavery Democ-
racy to take.

Tdcy 10 takes
The Richmond Enquirer thinks it is
not sufficient that the decision of the
Supreme Court in the bred Scott case,
prevents Congress and all its'delegates
from interfering with the prom ,ticn of
slavery in the Territories it maintains
that civil and criminal code for the
protection Of slave property in the Tjrri-
tories ought to be provided.
In every Territory containing a ma
jority Of pro-slavery men, the power Of
the Territorial Legislature is all sufficient
for the purpose. In such case of omis-
sion, and under the present state of fed
eral Legislation, much if not all, must
depend on the loyalty and efficiency of
the President of the United States. He
it is who appoints the Territorial execu-
tive and Judiciary. 1t will be the pro-
vince of this judiciary, to protect slave
property, as far as possible, under the
laws of the federal code for the protection
of property generally and it will be the
business of the Territorial executive-.to
uphold and enforce the authority of the
Judiciary 1t will be the duty of the
President to hold both functionaries to
jealous performance of their several
offices. Hence, we cordially unite with
the Day Book in the assertion, that, the
meet Democratic nominee for the Pyes;-
dency should be pledged to the protection
of Stare property in all the Territories.
This is the next step for the pro-sla-
very Democracy to take; and inasmuch
as the South will demand it, it must be
taken. 1t is result that must follow the
bred Scott decision. That decision
reveals the fact that the Constitution
carries slavery into all Territory, and
slaves being property, that property
must be protected This is Democratic
logic.
The Enquirer adds that Congress
must pass additional laws for the protec-
ton of slave property in the Territories
Of course it must, and it can be done
just as we'll as not, now that the English
bill is a Gnality and removes the slavery
question from Congress dubuque

The Quasqueton Guardian has been
removed to independence, and is now
published under the name of The Bu-
chanan County Guardian. 1t is one of
the very best country papers in the State.

youngest editor in the State, but is never
theless one of the most talented and indus
trious. Of course a journal possessing
such superior merit will be well support

~ A very pretty and gratifying COM
pliment, truly, coming from as good an
editor as CHARLEY ALDRIcH-and if an
evidence Of his personal regard. Gas the
evident Partially of the opinion would
lead us to believe) is doubly acceptable.
Still, CHARLEY is sorry wag, and may
be only poking fun at us. Hope it amt

is it, CHARLEY =? Since we have seen that
attributed to the Editor of the Freeman,
we feel suspicious of you, and not pos
sessing the egotism of the Hon. Tom.
DRUMMoND, and some other editors we
wot of, are somewhat inclined to think
that if we parade your opinion, as, for the
novelty of the thing, we are inclined to
do, we shall find, about the time the next
Freeman reaches us, where the laugh
comes in. We may be doing you injus-
tice, CHARLEY, but man who can so eff
fectually sell the sharp ones of Fl. Dodge,
will bear watching. However, here she
goes, and we now wait with trepidation
the next number of the freeman.

The Bridge Question.

ES our nelghDor OF the Ctv4tda, In
its last issue, comes out against the pro-
position, as submitted to the people by
the County Judge. whether the county
shall hereafter contribute one-third to-
wards the erection of all bridges within
her limits, costing over $500, and gives
as reasons therefore, first, that this is not
the proper time to inaugurate such a pol
icy. Upon this point we beg leave to
differ with the Civilian, and contend that
if we are ever going to establish such a
policy, now is the time to do it. And for
this reason: The late flood has carried
away almost every bridge in the county,
placing every section but our own upon
an equality in this regard. Our own
bridge is badly in want of repair, and
as the interests of our citizens in this
matter extend beyond our own limits, we
should, with the others, be benefited
The policy then, inaugurated now, would
act equitably upon the whole county
But let it be delayed year or two, and
what is the result =? The demand for
some of the bridges is imperative, and
they must be erected soon If the peo-
pie in their vicinity are refused the aid
of the county, they will build them by
private subscription. But suppose that
year or two after they have thus taxed
themselves TO provide these conveniences
in their own vicinity, new administra-
ton comes into power, and the policy
now asked for is then adopted, and they are
compelled to help pay for bridge at
this or some other point, what justice
will there be in it If negative YER
dict now would effectually settle the pol
icy of the county hereafter, there could
be no objection to such decision. But
can we be certain of that policy when the
power of building bridges is given to
the county judge, and when the policy
of the present officer can and may be re-
pudiated by his successor. Had we not
better now, when al. are needy and all
will be benefited, establish certain and
uniform rule of action in this matter, than
to trust to the Partially, prejudice or ca
price of some future officer, who has the
power, and may have the inclination, to
make those who must now heavily tax
themselves for their own necessities, also
help provide conyeniences for others.
But. secondly, the Civilian sees an OBJ
lection in the proposition, because it linn
its the county's help to bridges costing
$500. Certainly the county should not
be obliged to contribute to the bridging
Of every little run, or rivulet, or slough,
in the county. II she is, she will un-
ubtedly soon find her hands full. Leave
he matter open, as the Civilian proposes,
md the county judge would be pestered
With continual demands for the erection
IF an innumerable number of little |
bridges which have scarcely other than a
private Use, or, if much used, can more
eadily and more cheaply be supplied by
he supervisors. All the bridges in the
county that should properly be termed
ounty bridges-lhose which are abso-

was small settlement made by some
two or three hundred persons from New
England. Cincinnati was the next, and
was settled by hand full Of persons
from New Jersey, perhaps, or some Of the
other States. Had these few settlers the
right from the moment they arrived there,
mere hand full of men, who may have
planted themselves at Marietta or Gin
cinnati, to govern and dispose of the
Territories, or to govern themselves as
sovereign community? Or was it not
in the meantime right and proper, and
within the contemplation of the Consti-
tuition, that Congress, which owned the
soil, acting under tie authority therein
contained (the Constitution should reg
ulate the settlement of the soil and govern
the settlers in those infant colonies, until
they should reach sufficient degree of
consideration in respect of numbers
and capacity for self government, to be
constituted with more regular municipal
