Too Much shaking.

Smith OBrien in his speech at Albany
begged to be excused from the American
custom of shaking hands. He had beep.

Liverpool dates Of the 18th ult. announce
the firt important battle in Italy. On the
2lst Of May the Austrians, $4,000 strong,
made an attack upon the Allied forces,
numbering 5000, at Monticello, and after
warm engagement Of four hours were
forced TO retreat. The loss of the Aus.
TRANS is estimated at 2,0OO-that of the
Allies at 700, including many officers.
Now tina. the war is begun in earnest,
every arrival from Europe will be looked
for with intense interest. There is no
probability that q few months hostilities
will restore amicable relations between the
belligerents. Many warmly contested
battles will take place before the strength
Of the contending parties is fully mar.
shalled into the field, or the tide of success
will set in in either direction. The pres.
ent disposition Of powers places the ulti-
mate defeat Of Austria beyond doubt
But the fortunes of war are somewhat
tickle, and this summers campaign may
give to Continental matters an entirely
new phase. New combinations may take
place, and new schemes be matured. The
commencement of hostilities has already
operated bene6cially for this county,
Thousands are now leaving the Old World
for home in the New.
The emigration during the past two
months is reported equal to that of
the corresponding season in any former
year, while all branches Of industry are

Of plentiful harvest and active trade,
there is every reason to hope for year of
unparalleled prosperity.

Since the adoption Of the ".wo years
Amendment in Massachusetts, the Repub.
licans of the IVES. have been making ex.
,rsordinary efforts 10 exculpate their
brethren in Massachusetts from response
biiity in the matter. They see that the
measure IS obnoxious to the homes. por.
ton Of the Republican PARTY, and if sus.
tanned by them will have the effect to es.
TRANCE the foreign element" and thereby
subject thejr party to inevita5l. defeat n
the Western States. Du. their labor is in
vain. The responsibility Of this putting
down of the foreign born citizen, and the
elevation u the negro to o social and poll
teal equality with the whites, properly be
longs to the Republican party, and i. alone
will have to answer for the consequences.
The Springfield Republican, the leading
Republican paper in Massachusetts,, says
emphatically, that "the burden of the
measure rightfully belongs upon the Re.
publicaus Of Massachusetts" and that
they as body have no right to endeavor
to shake j. OF" Here, then, having the
acknowledgment Of the principal Repab.
lean paper in Massachusetts that the out.
rage upon our FOREIGN born citizens was
committed by the Republican party, wha.
folly is it fer the Republican papers of the
Wet, in their desperation a. seeing the
indignation among our German citizens
which this proscriptive measure has iucit-
ed, to attempt to disclaim the responsible
lily. They have made the issue, now let
them not shirk the consequences.
Again, the fact that eight Of the e1erea
Republican members Of Congress from
Massachusetts, favored the prescription of
foreigners, is uLiavorable to the limo.
cence OF the Republican party. For this
assertion, we also have the authority of the
Springfield Republican, to wit -" OF the
eleven members CT the House, we know
only three who voted against it, viz -
Mcssre. Thayer Of the Worcester district,
Delano of the Connecticut valley and
Dawes Of the Berkshire. The other eigh.
were either openly in its favor, or gave it a
tact support. Even Charles Francis
Adams, whose name and whose history are
associated with advocacy Of the rights Of
men as men, faltered in this matter. and
enters upon his congressional career with
blot upon his political escutcheon. Such
original ireesoi,ors as Burlingame. Alley
snd Gooch were also among its supporters.
Their course on this question, ia coanec.
ton with their former political record,
leads to tho conclusion that when they
boast Of their advocacy Of liberty and
equal rights, they mean liberty and equal
rights for the black man and not for the
white man. Had the proposition been to
impose disability upon tho blacks, ia.
stead Of upon white Germans and Irish.

The Virginia Election.

Virginia has again proved her devotion
to the Union and Democratic principles,
by the recent election Of the entire Dem.
ocratic State ticket, and doubtless the usu
al number Of Democratic Members of Con
gres.. This result in the OLD Dominion
is peculiarly gratifying at this time, when
it is considered that all the elements oil
opposition. that could be possibly trumped
up, were banded together to defeat Mr..
Letcher, who, during large portion OF
the canvass was unable to meet his COM
petitor on the stump. by reason of serious
illness. This result in Virginia will have
most cheering and salutary effect upon
the Democracy of the country, and at once
settles the question of the inadaptation Of
the odds and ends Of opposition to the al
minlstration and the Democracy generally
to u successful presidential canvass in
1860. Take this Virginia election. and
the Massachusetts Republican movement
against foreigners, together. we think it
settles the question of 1860. and makes
the success Of the Democracy almost
matter Of certainty North Vest.

We desire to see Iowa become the ban.
ner State of Democratic hope in the grea:
North west. Her true political position is
surely to found in the Democratic ranks
Upon every conceivable ground-her loca.
lity and relative position to her sister
States, her vast mineral and agricultural
resources. her immense railroad interests,
the character Of her people-everything
that attaches to the State, gives evidence
that she should accede to Democrotic as.
tendency, and place her grand and varied
interests under Democratic management.
Let the Democracy of Iowa, then, look
well to their present condition, and seige
boldly the golden opportunity presented
them to redeem the State from the now
dominant Republican party.
1t is in the spirit of hope and patriotism,
therefore, we ask the Convention at Des
Moine to adopt platform in coincidence
with the views and ideas indicated above.

intention Of settling permanently in this
vicinity. On Monday last, seven teams in

bound for Dakota Territory. The men
came with their wives, children, cattle
and farming implements, and will at once
go to work to become producers instead of
mere consumers. We learn from Mr.. B.

The Republicans end Foreigner.

Mr.. Elihu B. Washburne, NJ. C. from
the first congressional district OF Illinois,
has written letter stating that he was
opposed TO the disfranchisement of for
eigners in Massachusetts, and therefore he
argued the Republicans generally we're
opposed to it. But the record is against
Mr.. Washburne's argument. In the first
place, the constitutional amendment
was passed by two.third vote of each
house Of the iegislature-every Democracy
in both branches voting against it every
affirmative vote was Republican ONE
The New York Tribune thus Classics the
Massachusetts members of Congress, as
to their appreciation Of, or opposition to
the constitutional amendment.

Massachusetts has eleven representa-.
tivos in Congress, all Republicans Of
these, seven were active supporters Of tho
amendment, and two took no part. Mr..
Thaver, who opposed the amendment, has
long since practically repudiated the doc
trines of the Republican party, and is hand
and heart supporter of Popular Sover-
eighty.
The question is not now how Mr.. Wash.
burne Of Illinois would vote, but how the
Republicans of Massachusetts, would vote.
If proposition was pending in Congress
to extend the term of naturalization. or to
add to it condition that persons of for.
eign birth should no. become voters for
several years after their first application
for naturalization, we have the recorded
testimony that seven and probably nine Of
the eleven Massachusetts, Republican re.
| representatives. in Congress would vote for
the odious provision There is the true
test Of Republican friendship for Ger.
mans not to say anything of the advice
Of the New York Tribune, tina. the dis

a great outrage. The ferrymen are said

Spirit Lake Troubles. y

We understand that the difficulties ex.
listing between the enterprising citizens of
the above town and Dr. PREscorT, we're
somewhat quieted at the late term of
Court, held in Dickinson county by Judge
| HUBBARD. All the business on the docket
grew out Of the unfriendly relations of
those parties.
1t seems that DR.. PREscorT is attempts
ing to monopolze large portion of the
best timber in that region-ostensibly
holding it as town sites. The supply of
timber being exceedingly limited and con.
fined wholly 10 the vicinity of the Lakes
the bona fde settlers are wisely jealous
Of sny speculative interests in the timber
and very anxious to protect and make
economical use of their lumber and fuel,
so that the growth Of their settlement
may not be greatly limited and impeded
by the extravaganza and monopoly of any
one man or set Of men.
The attemp. of this same PREsCoTT last
winter, to import large colony of negroes
into that region, was new source of ex-
ASPIRATION to the people. With great
unanimity they denounce the movement as
an outrage upon their rights and interests.
In addition to this, PREscorT has for sew.
eral weeks past been harassing the entire
settlement with writs Of attachment for
alleged contempts-keeping the people
from their work and in a state of constant
anxiety. and taking them under arrest to
Fort Dodge, and thus subjecting them to
great expense and inconvenience, merely
to crafty his malice. The injunction
granted by Judge Stone against HOWE
and WHEFLocE, was dissolved by Judge
HUBBARD at the late term Of the District
Court, and the Grand Jury found two bills
OF !nd!ctmen. against DR.. PREscorr, one
for per ury ard another for assault with in.
tent to commit grea: bodily injury. It's
hoped tha. their local strife will here find
a termination, and the peaceable and in
dustrious citizens of Dickinson, be per-
mitted TO 60 on with their improvements
without further annoyance and vexation.
