Geo. w. Jones, Of Iowa, has Withdrawn
his declnation Of the mission to Bogota, ana
notified the President Of his willingness TO
stake half loaf rather than get no bread.
The secret OF this " forward and back"
"turn about and wheel about and jump Jim
Crow NOV ement Of the Iowa ssdancing mas
ter, has not been developed. Our guess is
simply this Buchanan promised Jones tho
mission to Spain, and the latter got into a
huff when he was put off with the inferior
post of Minister to Bogota, and threw it up.
Finding, however, that old Buck wont back
down, Jones after due reflection repents, and
taking advantage Of the maxim "bettcr late
than never" accepts. Here is the important
telegram that will rid the country Of Geo.
W. Jones: ssz-- s....
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Hon. Nv. Jones,
of Iowa, who recently declined the mission
to Bogota, telegraphed to the President yes
terday, Withdrawing the declination. He
has been notified to report himself immedi-
ately at the State Department.
By the way, i. seems that Buchanan knew
all the time that Jones was going to accept,
and so kept the place for him. 1t may be
after all, there was no hulfabout it, but that
Buchanan conspired to MD Jones in play
ing the role of the independent and bought
patriot for few weeks till the people
should forget that the mission to Bogota
was the price paid for Mr.. jones' Lecompton
vote.-keokuk Cote City.

Judge Hollis poiiCT.

The policy Of the Postoiice Department,
as dev olopod by Judge Holt's letters, scenes
to be to lick the hand which has applied the
t&a scourEc. While Toombs, Mason. and
u iyar defeated the appro OPERATIONS and thus
pied the service of the department, the
Postmaster General has eDdeav ored to CT
pher out the means of furnishing their States
with mail facilities, and at the same time cut
off those Of the Northwestern States, whose
Representatives voted for three different
bills to furnish means for the entire service.
Does Judge Holt tatter himself that such
action on his part will be tam ,iy submitted
to by that portion of the country which is
rapidly rising to Il commanding influence in
the affairs of the nation? Let him reflect
that the time is fast approaching when the
Northwest can exact its just proportion of
attention from all branches Of the public
service Washington Republic.
What right have the Northern people to
complain at any favoritsm the President
and his administration may exhibit for the
South at their expense? They received their
offices at the hands Of the South. Mr.. Bu-
Gilman was elected by Southern votes, and
has surrounded himself by Southern advisers,
or Northern men ten-fod more base, obse-
quious and corrupt. Having been elected by
the South, he considers himself the President
of the South, and shapes his whole policy for
their benefit. He kaors no North. If any
appropriations for improvements are to be
withheld, or any postoficc routes to be abol-
ished, they must of course be those at the
North. 1t does not matter that all the re-
ceipts from customs, and all assets from our
mail system, beyond, expenses, are from the
North. They did nothing, or next to moth.
ing, towards clecting him. And for.-what
they did do. he owes them no thanks; because
those who voted for him o,ced him Service
and labor They only did their duty and he
has no doubt that they will continue to serve
him, however much he may kick, or trample
upon them. The Washington Republic is
ingenious and unmanly in attempting to
create prejudice at the Northwest against
Mr.. Buchanan and his Postmaster General.
for keeping the mail service alive in Georgia,
while he suspends over five hundred routes
in the Northwest. As the President and all
his class believe the government was institu-
ted solely Tor the benefit of the Slave States,
how can it be expected that he will trouble
bis head about the North; ofat least, that
he will ever hesitate to discriminate in favor
Of the South when he is compelled to make
any? So we trust the Republic will not at
tempt to damage the Administration in our
estimation by repeating such language as
We have quoted.-Detroit advertiser.

After several weeks Of canvassing on the
part Of the State Central COMMITTEE and the
organs, 4 emil was issued, more than month
ngo, for the converting Of IL Democratic State
Convention at Des Moines, on the LIST day of
June. Iuin cdiately upon the issue Of this
call, there was commotion in the ranks Of
the harmonious was not satisfactorily
some Of the wirC-workers insisted upon
holding the convention after the Republic
cans had made their nominations, and pro-
Gained their platform Of State policy. Thus
matters continued uutI the 30th ult., when
the Republican State Central Committee,
called Convention at Des MOincs, on the
I'D day of June. Delays are always dan
grrous, and the next day, the Chairman Of
the Democratic State Central Committee,
issued decree, postponing the Democratic
Convention to the 23rd day of June-one
day after the Republican Convention. The
Des Moincs Citi-en says" the object of the
democratic Central Committee in bringing
about the change, is transparent as a sea
Of class. The Democracy are sorely agitatel
al, over the State with reference to the
course to be pursued by their Convention.
There are issues 20 be DUdgrd, Fishermen
to strangulate, and Samue!ites to appease
which require much time and profound de.
liberation, before the meeting of the Con-
~ention. Then it is very important that the
Black republicans" make their nominal
tions first, as 1t is impossible for the Dem
ocracy to know what course to pursue until
their opponents have passed through reg
ular form of State Convention. Locofoco-
isn-huc,uatiug in principle--is sometimes
jmrudent, and sometimes excessively tlmld.
In the latter condition it rcjoices at the
present time. SO retiring and irresolute
has it become, that it cannot for the life Of
1t make out programme for the campaign,
in platform and nomination, before Repub-
licanism speaks out with the authority Of a
State Convention. \ Democratic State
Committeeman is presumed to soliloQuize
thus =" We must postpone our Conven-
ton. 1t is impossible for US to know what
to do until the Republicans show their hands
We have no principle except the negative
one of opposition. We have nothing to at
firm and every thing to deny. We must
wait, therefore, for the resolutions and NOM
nations of the Republicans, and then We
will pitch il like thunder on the opposite
side"
"We charge on the Democratic Central
Committee that they have changed the time
of holding their convention because they
w.re afraid to have it convene two days or
n month sooner. But then they have right
to make their calls and withdraw them
lust when their trembling spirits may dc
tate. We have no right to complain; but
we would respectfully suggest that Demo-
cratic State Conventions are not, 10y any
manner of means, demanded by the people
Of Iowa. 1t matters not whether the Con-
yention meets in June, July or August
the aspiring champions whom it invests with
the nomna! glory of caud dacy, will be
numbered among the dead and Tie forgotten
about the middle Of October"

Spring.

We do not now call to mind the precise
date at which, according to the patent medi-
cine almanacs, the advent of Spring takes
place; but we do have an idea that iu most
localities in the temperate zone the advent
of April is supposed to Immediately preoede
springing clover, fresh flowers and balmy
winds. This season we are sadly out of our
reckoning for gruf Winter fingers SO long
in the lap Of gentle Spring that we wonder
the coy damsel does not blush at such famil-
iarity. Drifting snow and chill northers
are by no means congenial Accomplishments
to Spring and if for nothing else than that
we may discard our overcoats and conform
to the fashion plates, we say, in the language
of Thompson "Come, gentle Spring ethe-
rial mildness, GOMEZ" Or, in the less cas-
steal, but equally expressive words of Nose:

along. '-S. DO. Journal.
