Correct the Record.

In the course of an article on an cleo
pioneering Judiciary" the Dubuque Herald
makes very grave error, in stating that
Hon. CALEB BALpwiS "labored in the Con-
vention and out Of it--labored-talke ed
plead" button holed," and "wire- pulled"
earnestly, for the nomination. There is not
m iota of truth in the statement. So for
from working or asking for the nomination,
Mr.. BALDWIN nerer consented to the use of
his name before the Convention. He pro.
tested against such use of his name, FIRST,
last, and all the time. He was at Des
Moines, in attendance upon the sittings of
the Supreme Court-he was not there as Il
delegate, nor yet as an aspirant for judi
cial nomination. For the nomination which
he received, 'ho is solely indebted to the
excrtions of his friends in Western Iowa.
The honor was thrust upon him, against his
openly expressed protestations, and the large
vote be IS certa nto receive in those localities
where he is b :? known, will mos: surely at
test the high estimation in which he is held,
as q lawyer and man.

Democratic organs are just now engaged
in trying to solve the question-"Has S!a-
very any just connection with our coming
State electiou.' They generally come to
the conclusion that it has not. This conclu-
sion is superinduced by desire on their
part to ignore the Slavery issue-an issue
raised by the Democratic pNy, and an is
sue they will not be permitted to dodge,
however so much they may be inclined go
to do. The Slavery issue has q just connec-
ton with the coming election. A United
States Senator is to be chosen by the Legis-
lature soon to be elected. A Senator of the
United States has to deal directly with the
Slavery issue. But, even if the Slavery is
sue had no just connection with our coming
State election, the people of the State owe
it to themselves to send DODGE Sand the
balance" to the shades of private life, for
their previous recorded acts on this same
issue. If the people of Iowa do not wish to
stultify themselves--if they do not wish to
prove -ecreant to the principles Of freedom,
which led them to disgorge Dodge and Jones
for basey betraying them into the clutches
of the Southern Slave drivers, in lS54-they
will not now vote for the Dem ocratic State
Ticket. All attempts, on the part of DopGE
and his cohorts, to ignore the Slavery issue
during this campaign will prove utterly flu.

though it should cause sweeping and wall
ing, and gnashing of teeth" among them
and their followers. Even were the Slavery
issue ignored in this election, how would
the Democracy be the gamers? They GER
taiuly have no claims upon the people OF
Iowa, for services rendered, without ample
remuneration No, not that? What then?
Why, they would then be at liberty to ring
the changes ON what they are pleased to
term " Republican corruption and eztrava-
sauce," from one end Of the State to the
other-from early morn to dewy eye-with
the hope that they might thereby deceive
some of the more credulous of the people,
and the divinity of success be thereby
propitiated. Vain desire-illusive hope -

Democratic po!iticians-the harangues of
Democratic orators, and the sensation arti-
c!es of Democratic papers. in the State Of
Iowa will not do much towards convincing
the people, that their interests would beany
more safe by entrnstns them to the care of
the Democratic party. The people are not
blind-they see evidences of Democratic
economy in the administration Of James Bu-
chanan-they see there, too, evidences of
Democratic corruption-and they will not
rush into the embraces of a party so cor
rupt, extrayagant, and demoralized at the
fountain head, as is the Democratic party!
No, not even to accommodate the chief Of

Mental E.cOnOmv.

Economy is the cornerstone on
which the fabric of wisdom is reared;
but the definition of the word economy
is more extensive than is ordinarily
understood, involving, in fact, true
mental discipline. Economy in tho't
is that of which | speak. and may be
expressed by the proposition
THINK on NO USELESS SUBJECT.
To obey this requirement is easy,
when we have acquired the habit of
abstraction. that is, the ability to fix
the attention on ore subject such as
we choose-and to keep it there as
long as we choose.
We shall then be able to economize
all our time, and methodically pursue
Investigations; nor, indeed, can scien-
tific researches be successfully made
without this habit.
But general knowledge requires, in
addition to this habit, due observa-
ton of what we see and hear; and the
amount of knowledge which observa-
ton and reflection can furnish is al
most incredible. The fact that gener-
ations of fools have lived and died,
and the ignorance Oft the present genera
tion, testifp that these things have been
and are astonishingly neglected.
How many fools with natures vol
ume open before their eyesl Yet in
every age there nave been prosecuted
few who were not fools. When Ga
lilco and Copernicus were denounced
as damnable heretics foa teaching the
spherical form and rotation Of the
earth, there existed. as now. visible
demonstration Of the truth of thos,
doctrines, which every one not blind

"a wild amount of passionate energy
and appetitcl But in his dark eyes
were floods of sorrow; and deepest
melancholy, sweetness, and mystery,
were all there. Often did there seem

and he became, indeed, one great
whirlwind Of energy, to work without

he died he wrote very many books

the midst of all they denounced and
cursed, what touches Of tenderness lay.
Look at the Table Talk for example.
We see in it little bird, having
alighted at sunset on the bough of the
near tree that grew in Luther's garden.
Luther looked upon it and said: THAT
