MULTIPLICATION AND DIsUNIoN.--Col. Jen
Davis, in speech delivered before Demo-
cratic Convention in Mississippi, declared the
Federal laws against the rc-opening of the
slave trade as unconstitutional. He favors
the withdrawal of our squadron from the coast
of Africa, and annullins our treaty stipulations
on the subject. He goes in, tooth and nail,
for Cuba, and, in the event of the election of
Republican to the Presidency, a dissolution
of the Union. There seems to be remark
able agreement of opinion among the Southern
Democratic leaders as to the propriety OF
stealing Ahhiiggers' from Africa and of stealing
Cuba of Spain.

STATE BOARD OF AGRIcULTURE.-The An
nual Report of the State Board of Agriculture,
prepared by Mr. Wallace, the Secretary of the
State Society, will be issued at an early day.
We have had an opportunity of examining
the contents of the Forthcoming volume, and
take pleasure in saying that it is not only
great improvement on its predecessor, but
that it is valuable document, that ought to
be in the hands of every farmer in the State.
The volume contains the doings of the Board
at their several meetings; the Report Of the
Secretary; a full and complete statement of
the doings and awards of the last State Fair;
Reports from nearly all the County Societies;
Essays upon Fruit Growing in Iowa; Hedge
Raising Pork and Sheep Raising Wheat
Drilling; Herd Book, &C., &c. The Essays
are carefully prepared, and contain much
reliable information. The Reports of the
County Societies, in answer to inquiries pro-
posed with regard to grain and fruit culture,
&c., give a better idea of the progress Of Agri-
culture. in the State, the condition. soils,
resources, population and settlement of the
various sections of the State, than can be had
from any and all other sources combined. In
some cases special care has been taken to
embody as much useful information as possi-
BILE within the limits allowed to county
report.
The State Society is doing good work,
and we take pleasure in thus bearing public
testimony to the value of the forthcoming
Report of the Secretary. Iowa is an Agri-
cultural State, and it is favorable omen for
its future growth and prosperity that so much
attention is bestowed upon this important
branch of its industry -Desmoines Citizen

NECESSITY OF TAR1Fr-Two millions of
dollars were shipped to Europe, last week,
from New York city. The importations,
during the same period, were about five
millions, of which four millions were dry
goods. The importers and the consumers of
foreign fabrics and luxuries are rapidly getting
our country, into condition for another dis
astrous financial revulsion. Sending off
s2,0Oo,0OO of specie to pay old debts, and at
the same time buying $4,000, 900 worth of
imported trash, all in one week, is doing
business out of pocket by several degrees too
"fast'' for this "hard-up" country to afford.
For some time past, the amount of specie sent
from this country to Europe has greatly
exceeded the receipts from California and all
other sources. AS money is the life-blood of
business, it will be seen that this condition of
things is rapidly tending to a 'paralyzation of
our commercial energies. We want a suf-
ficient tariff on imports to protect us against
these swelling importations, which draw all
our substantial wealth to Europe, or pcrma-
nent financial and general business prosperity
can never be established in this country.
When will our Political economists, statesmen
and law makers learn this fact, and put it into
practice?
W The Americans of Hamilton county
Ohio, after much consultation and interchange
of sentiment with their brethren in other
localities, have
Resolvsa, That the American party will, as
heretofore, unite with all who are opposed to
the corrupt rule of Democracy in this country,
for the continued defeat of that now PROSTATE
party.
Acting upon this resolve, the County Con-
ventioa declined to no.linate candidates for
local officers, and determined to support the
ticket presented by the Republicans.

KASsAs.-The total vote polled for delegates
to the present Constitutional Convention in
Kansas was 1886, divided as follows
Republican, 7,415; Democratic, $3.50; Re-
publican majority, 1,4s6. The total vote
polled on the celebrated Lecompton Constitu
ton, which was the largest ever given up to
that time in the Territory, was G, ,795; increase
since that time, 6,56l. 1t has, probably,
population enough for State.
HORRIBLE THE Washington Constitution
announces discovery which may startle the
country. Mr.. Seward has gone to Europe
professedly on a tour Of pleasure and observa-
ton, but in fact to perfect an alliance to
overthrow this government! Let the Dem
ocratic organs sound the alarm!
