to the new "AauE CURE" advertised in our col.

public confidence in its efficacy, and we have also
learned from reliable sources, that its yirtnes will
sustain their fullest expectations Citizens Of the
west can not fail to appreciate the paramount val

81 The Burlington Dolly Gazette has
been again Suspended. | The Hestsys in
noticing the TACT, says il is difficult to make
.sadaily paper live in Burlington during the
present hard tines. The remark is true
concerning other places. The Poss, 1t Keo-
kuk, some time since succumbsd to the
pressure Of the times, and, recently, the
Gasssts, at Burlington, and the San, 1t
Dubuque, have followed in its wake, while
two Of the. dailies At Davenport have been
compelled to consolidate. The daily press Of
lowe now numbers two 1t Dubuque, two 1t
Davenport, and one each At Muscatine, Bur

It is ; fact which We think is creditable to
Nuscatins, that it is the only city in the State
or along the river, Of like population, which
sustains . daily paper. Rock Island and
Iowa City, each nearly if not quite - large a
Muscatine, are without daily papers, though
the former has two tri-weeklies. Let it not
bsinferrsd from these observations that We are
making money publishing daily paper here.
We have been q well sssta;nsd, through the
liberality and promptness Of our patrons, As
we could reasonably expect, and yet We find
that il requires economy and close attention
to keep our little craft clear Of breakers. 1t
should be borne in mind that We receive no
county or other official patronage, BY which
alone more than half the newspapers in the
State are enabled to live. We depend solely
on the ordinary income from subscriptions,
advertising and job work. The merchants Of
this place, with but few exceptions, advertise
literally with Us, and We hsve large and
constantly increasing subscription list. We
have no doubt Of our ability to keep the Daily
Journal a6oat, if our friends still continue to
psy the small sums due MS from time to time.
We hope each one viii endeavor to perform
his duty in this regard. -s - Nd,

The HaFper's Ferry Emeute.
While portion Of the Democratic press
are charging the Republican party with being
the cause Of the recent insane proceedings at
Harper's Ferry, the more decent ones are
looking upon it in a very different light, as
the following extracts from two leading papers
of our nation, neither Of which is Republican,
will attest: --' ~
from the Buffalo Commercial Advsrtissr.1
We are sorry to see in tho Democratic press
10 pitiful attempt to make political capital out
of these events, and % represent the crimes
of crazy lunatic ss the sins Of party. There
is nothing in the history Of the affair which
will bear this construction. Let the power
which put down this instruction receive all
due credit for its promptness and energy /;
but, in the name Of decency, and for the
preservation Of . spirit Of unity between the
States, let the blame fall where it bslongs-on
a few wild and frantic fools, who have paid
for their folly with their lives.

As matter Of course, the violent partisan
prints will seek to make the most Of the affair.
But we see NO reason for supposing that it
had any connection whatever with any politi-
cal movement or that any party can with
justice be held responsible for it. It seems
to have been the work Of . single man, smart
ing under sense of personal wrongs, and
insanely seeking to avenge them upon whole
community. He will probably pay the PEN
atty of his rash insanity with his life, and
leave, we trust, no inheritors of his passion

: THH RECENT ELEC7IoNs.-Yhe New York
Herald says the result of.the recent elections
in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa and
Minnesota settles conclusively three points
|, First-That the Democratic party of the
Northern States is in that melancholy condi.
ton Of sick man who affords no symptoms
of convalescence.
s Seeond-That the late great American, OF
third party Of the North, has disappeared and
ceased to exist; and ....r.s. tssy. .. Sid.
Third-That henceforward, to the close Of
the Presidential campaign Of 1860, there will
be only two parties in the North the Repub.
lican and Democratic-and that into ono o,
the other, of the, two parties all the loose
materials of the North, with some triaine
exceptions, will be absorbed.
The Herald might have added . fourth
point. The recent elections blast the hopes
Of the followers Of the Little Giant" In

it is true that he fell behind his ticket in this

that, in most Of the counties Of the State, he

Richmond Wing, in its peculiarly conservative
spirit, recommends that he should be hung
first and tried afterwards. The Missouri
Densscras insists that he IS insane, but thinks
he should be hung for his insane acts. The
St. Louis Nesos, with clear sense Of justice
and Of policy, advocates his confinement in
