neR-l'he SmbUry Ga,ette says; Our
neighbor of the american has been SPEC.
uGt ing IN real estate. That Is to say cn
last Monday we saw small frame house,
TO which several horse were attached,
travelling down street. and we were told
thai our neighbor.had bought it, ami was
moving it to another location. The law,
we believe, divides property into real,
mixed. The house while in progress down
the street, belonged to the latter class. as
between the shorses, the mud, and the
men who had it in charge, it was decided.

A Weary Journey.

A wretched looking creature, giving his
name es John Smith, arrived in this city
yesterday, and put up at the Mayors Of
tice. He hauled after him a well worn
basket wagon, in which was small child,
but lily protected from the inoIement
weather, He stated that his wife died in
Cine nnati recently, leaving the little child
IN his care; and failing TO eke out q sub
sistanee there, with his child to take care
Of he resolved to visit New IorG, where
he has sister living, SO he left CIncin-
natl, Just five weeks ago with the small
sum Of litteen cents in his pocket, having
received lodging and food from the ehar.
table. He has a weary journey yet before
him, and we think it would be am act Of
charity for some one to ticket him over
the mountains by railroad. He states that
he was treated worse at a stone tavern, a
few miles this side of Wheeling, than at
any other place on the whole route he
travelled. Though he offered ten cents,
(ali the money he had,) for liberty to re.
main in tho house all night, the hcartess
heathcn who kept the house. turned him
and ms child out of doors. and they bad
to remain IN the open air the whole Of the

THE PROOF.

Last week We charged that L. l.. PsAsE,
Republican candidate for State Senator in
shis district, had placed himself upon the
record in favor Of Negro Equality in the
State Of Iowa, by voting to strike the word
white out Of the new Constitution, and
at the same time stated that We had The
proof to establish the truth Of the accuss-
ton. Some doubts having since been ex-
pressed BY his political friends - to our
ability to fasten the charge upon M.
Pease, We publish the following s,atsness
by q number Of the leading and most re.
spo"sible men in Webster county, which
proves beyond a chance for doubt that J..
L. Pease is not only an out and out rsdi-
cal Abolitionist, but that he glories in his
shame. Voters, after reading this proof,
can you consent to vote for man who IL
convicted by his neighbors aud friends -
being an Aboli,ionist Of the Garrisooiaa
school-a most hopeless and con,em ptible
fanatic? Read the proof:
We, the undersigned, citizens and legal
voters Of Webster county, Iowa, do hereby
certify that we are we'll acquainted With
l.. l.. Pease, Republican candidate for

was made known to his Honor, who We
are informed shifted the responsibility
upon the Marshal. Il has since been in

The Fort Madison Plaisdealer contains

1t may be very agreeable for ltigents
