CNsoPuIsrIcATED.--The Dubuque Expires,
and Herald, notwithstanding it has larger
circulation and wider influence than any
other Democratic journal in the State, is
entirely too sincere and unsophisticated to be
an efficient organ Of the party to which it
processes to belong. Some time since, it
contained an editorial in favor Of the forth
coming Democratic State Convention making
platform, involving the living issues of the
day, for its candidates to stand upon. We
thought its editors would soon discover the
delicate nature of the undertaking, and drop
the subject incontinently. But they insist
upon the programme first marked out by
them, and in a late issue of their paper hold
forth as follows:
If declaration of national principles is to
breed disorder and discord in our ranks, then
it is proof positive that democracy is but lily
understood, or that it is not based upon
interchangeable and immutable principles.
If democratic principles be not understood,
then the more the convention discusses them
the better, for if men are actuated by the love
and practice of truth-by the love and prac-
tice of justice--then the better understanding
they have of those truths and principles of
justice which constitute democracy, the more
will they harmonic, and the less likely will
they be to differ.
The Express and Herald is little too
verdant for this day and generation of the
Democratic party. We do not wonder that
its honest indiscretions call down upon it the
anathemas of its Administration cotempora-

The School LAw.-Quite an important
suit came up for hearing, in the District
Court, a day or two since, involving questions
concerning the constitutionality of the School
Law. The following points, among others,
were brought up:
Hugh Newell, sub-director for Newton
school district, levied upon certain property,
belonging to Elizabeth Guthrie, to satisfy a
School Tax assessed previous to the enacting
OF tie Curative Act. The property was
replevied, and a demurrer set up by Mrs.
Guthrie, alleging that the new School Law is
unconstitutional, and could not be remedied
by the Curative Act, and that therefore
Newell was acting without authority.
Attorney General Rice gave the following
as his opinion:
1st. That it is the duty of the Legislature
to provide, not only for levying taxes, but for
their collection, and that therefore they had
the power to provide for officers for that
purpose.
Cd That, if the School Law was unconsti-
tutional, the only effect in this case would be
that Newell was performing an act required
by law, without himself being duly qualified,
and his acts would therefore clearly fall within
that class of cases that can be cured by a
remedial law.
Judge Stone will give his decision in a
week or two.-Jdsper FREQ Press.

ROOT HI OR DIE:


Loss OF CArrLE--The Oskaloosa Her1ll
reports the death of five hundred head OF
cattle in Ma'la -ka county alon, dnring the
past season for lack OF food and shelter
The fatality among cattle has been very
general, and very great throughout the
State, but we should hope that no other
county has suffered as much as Mahaska.
WAsnINGroN COUNTY. We learn from the
Washington Press that at the late term of
the District Court at that place, thirteen
liquor cases which had been tried before
Justices of the Peace and appealed, and in
which the defendants had been fined with
costs, were affirmed by the Court. In two
instances the fine was $40, and in the 9TH
ers $40 each, making $500 fines, and about
5000 costs. John Ashworth, convicted of
forging deed to small piece of land, was
sentenced to one year in the penitentilry
Great sympathy is telt for him, and p'tition
signed BY the Judge, members Of the bar
and others, has been sent to the Governor
for his pardon.

E%The Hon. Jeremiah Clemens. of Me-

c. The Hon. jeremiah Clemens, of Mem
phis, Tenn, in speech at Nashville, Tenn,
on the Goth ult., said that it required extra
ordinary credulity to believe that the Admin,
istration intended to use the $30,00O,OOO it
asked for of the late Congress in the purchase
of Cuba. SIN MY honest opinion" continued
Mr.. Clemens, "thc intention was to use it as
corruption fund to secure the nomination
and election of John Slidcll as President of
these United States There is nothing in the
Fast history Of either James Buchanan or
John Slidell to place them above suspicion
Give them 1000, 900 to be used in buying
Spanish officials, and unless some such
miracle occurs as that Of the leopard changing
his spots, a part of the sum will be employed
in buying the Charleston Convention, and the
remainder in purchasing the vote necessary
to insure the election of it's nominee"

The REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION. The
question has arisen among some of the leading
Republicans whether the State Convention
which is to assemble on the 22d of June
should not choose delegates to the next
Republican National Convention. If there is
any purpose or any necessity of making the
choice at that time, the party throughout the
State should know it, that they may be rep
resented observation-disclosures Times.
We think it would be fit time to choose
such delegates. The call, as published, con-
fers the power on the Convention, and, as
another State Convention will not, in all
probability, be held before the National Con-
vention, the opportunity ought to be improved
for the appointment Of delegates. Let us
have general expression from the Republican
press on this subject, and let it be understood
that delegates are to be appointed

WThe Davenport Democratic papers, as
well IS the Dubuque Express and Herald
are in favor of the ensuing Democratic Con-
vention defining the position of the party in
the State; but, if so, they will not be satisfied
short Of an endorsement of the Administra-
ton, while the Express and Herald adheres
to Douglas. At present, the Administration
faction appears to have the upper hand, but
we opine that the Convention will result in
dodging the vital issues between the parties,
and will nominate man for Governor whose
name is significant of the policy of the party
in this State.

GYA recent Convention in Texas resolved
that the only conditions on which they would
consent to remain in the Union are that the
North ceases the agitation of the slavery
question, and repeats the prohibition of the

to be taking on airs, but We presume it's overt

New DIFFICULTY WITH GREAT BRITAIN.-
According to the last arrival from California,
a perplexing question has arisen between the
United States and English authorities relative
to the boundary between the possessions of
the two Governments on the Pacific 1t
seems that, in the haste of Polk and Buchanan
to back down from their clustering "Fifty-
Four, Forty, or Fight policy, they accepted
of a bungling definition of the boundary, and
now that the Frazer River gold discoveries
have made the lands and waters in the neigh
borhood of Vanconver's Island valuable, it is
discovered that there is reasonable ground for
dispute where the rightful line is.

THE CHARLESTON CoNvENTIoN.-Th New
York Herald of the 2Oth-a paper which has
sustained the Administration of James
Buchanan throughout - has the following
significant paragraph in reference to the
Presidential nominations by the Democracy
at the Charleston Convention
Some of the regular Democratic organs are
questioning Judge Douglas, Chevalier Forney,
and their anti-Lecompton popular sover-
eighty newspapers, whether they do Or do
not intend to abide by the nomination and
the platform of the Charleston Convention !?
All such questions, we presume, will be
answered in the Convention, and not before
We suspect, too, that the upshot of the Con-
vention will be the final dispersion of the
Democracy, and two or three scrub tickets :;
for it is manifest that the fixed policy of every
prominent clique of the party ,jugglers for the
succession is rule or ruin.

~ Democratic meeting was held at New
Orleans, on the 4th, for the pacification of the
party. Pierre Soule was the leader of the
movement, and offered resolutions, which
were adopted, declaring, among other things,
that "the foreign policy of the federal govern
ment is contrary to public sentiment, without
dignity, spirit, craftsmanship and enlightened
foresight This is only an outbreak of dis
affected fillibusterism, and the injustice of
condemning the foreign policy of the govern
ment is obvious from the fact that it has no
foreign policy at all, but acts quite loosely
and promiscuously.

PLANT AND Sow FREELY.-In view of the
warlike character of the last news from
Europe, the New York Tribune offers the
following advice to farmers. Nothing will be
lost by following it, should impending war be
averted
We say to our farmers plant and SOW
freely, persistenty; for grain and meat are
likely to be in demand next fall. The war
which now threatens is unlikely to be short
and cannot be little one. 1t is likely to
array million men in aims against each
other, subtracting many times that number
from productive industry to employ them in
casting cannon, making powder, charging
shells, &C., &c. All these must eat, and
battle-fields are not we'll adapted to the growth
of food. We shall be disappointed if Europe
does not afford US large market for bread

DEMOCRATIC OPINIONS OF BUCHANAN.-
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, says:
During a late brief tour through portions
of illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Indiana,
several Democratic editors spoke to us very

And yet we believe that none of those editors
have had the nerve to publish their opinions
of Mr.. Buchanan and his Administration in
their papers. Either they try to defend the
President and his measures, or they are silent
While scorn for the Administration is in their
hearts, dumbness or eulogy is upon their lips
And so with the masses of the Democracy

of the present high functionaries of the gov
eminent, they publicly endorse them and

A SENSIBLE SUGGEsTIoN.--The st, Louis
Democrat notices the fact that Convention
OF the Pacific States is to be called to consider
the question of the Pacific Railroad, and
suggests that the best plan to get Pacific
Railroad is for the Pacific States and the
State of Missouri, and others on this side
interested in this great measure, to get rid Of
their National Democratic Members of Con.

greater obstruction to the road than the
mountains and the vast plains between the
Pacific and the Mississippi river.
