We want no better evidence of the
truth that Westward the course OF
empire takes it's way" than the fact
that the U. S. Agricultural Fair for
1859 is to be held at Chicago instead
of some Eastern city. 1t is certainly
meet and proper that the great Farm.
er's Fair of the Nation should be held
in that Garden City" of the Vest
the city where concentrates more of
the agricultural products and agricul-
tural wealth of the nation than any
other in the whole Union. Iowa, Hi.
nois and Wisconsin are the great Ag.
ricultural States of this Union, and,
for the present, Chicago is their "mar.
ket town."

Rusty grain if really. affected with
rust Cannot be cut too soon after it is
discovered on the stalk. We have
known instances where dry leaves
have been mistaken for rust, and a
great bug-a-boo made by the discover
er. Alarm and action may follow
when the stalk actually feels rough,
when the sensation resulting from
sliding your closed hand up and down
the straw, is exceedingly unpleasant.
No matter what it's stage of growth,
after the rust actually appears, moth
ing is gained by letting it stand I;
much is lost. Cut it down and cure
it for stock, if the grain is not sufli-
GENTLY mature to warrant threshing it.

GoING TO HOLD OvER.-In view o
the strong probability that the "Black
Republicans will elect their candi-
date for President next ycar,thc Wash
ington States, the especial organ of
Senator Douglas, at the Federal Capt.
tai, offers the following seasonable
suggestion to the present Heads Of
Departments
A sentiment is beginning to de.
vclop itself in the slaveholding States
which, if we mistake not the signs of
the times, will soon be heard in Wash
ington, demanding of Howell Cobb,
John b. Floyd, Jacob Thompson and
Joseph Holt, an answer, whether they
are prepared to surrender the purse,
the sword, and the navy, to Seward
ism in case of its consolidation, Oh
the 4th Of March, 1861"
We arc anxious to know how Messrs.
Cobb, Floyd, Thompson and Holt can
help themselves or by what process
the slave-holding States propose to
keep the purse, the sword and the
navy" in case the people of the Uni
ted States see fit to elect William II.
Seward President in 1860.

CHILLs AND FEVER CHILLs AND FEVER /! |

One of the greatest remedies that has ever
been laid before the public, for Fever ard
Ague, and which has received the highest en-
comiums from the press and the people is DR..
Chrsties Ague Balsam. Who would endure
the torture arising from this terrible disease,
when it can be so easily cured2 Who would
endure sleepess nights, burning fevers, and
icy chills alternately, when a remedy can be
obtained for mere tritie? And yet how
many families linger out painful existence
under this deadly blight, and do nothing but
gulp down qninine, until it becomes as com.
mon as their daily meals, and yet they are not
relieved. None but the foolish and weak
would hesitate to procure this valuable medi-
cine, and save themselves intense agony.

The CONSERVATIVE SOUTHERN DEMoc'
RAcY TALKING OF JOINING THE OprosIrIoN
The Athens (Tenn. Post, a spirited
and influential paper, says that it is
rumored to the effect that there will

Democrats of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Virginia, Alabama, Georgia and South
Carolina, to take counsel upon the
condition of the party, and to discuss
Tire cXpui;e"ey OF ivtting the Charles
ton Convention go by default The
feeling is, that the party in the free
States has become so Free SOilized
that they utterly despair of electing
a sound Democrat in 1860, and regard
a union with the Southern Opposition
and the conservative men of the North
and West as preferable TO having a
President of Abolition proclivities
forced upon them. 1t is said that this
movement only awaits the tcrmiua-
ton of the elections in Tennessee and
Kentucky, and, should the result be
as is now anticipated, it will immc-
diately go forward.

DiSuniOn.

The Washington States, generally
supposed to be the organ of Senator
Douglas at the National Capital, in
its issue of the 18th inst, referring to
arecent pronunciamento from Col. Boyce,
NJ. G. from South Carolina, thus speaks
Col. Boyce stated that he would re.
gard the election of Black Republi-
can President "as sufficient cause
for the South to dissolve her political
connection with the federal govern,
ment."
Such declaration, coming from a
sober-minded, unimpassiOncd, calm re-
tiecting patriot, should arouse not only
the Democracy in the non-slaveholding
States, but also the conservatives, to
a sense of the danger attendant upon
the official introduction Of Sewardism
into the Executive mansion.
Col. Boyce does but give currency
to the general and abiding conviction
of the most conservative of chivalrous
gentlemen in the slavcholding States
when he deliberately asserts that he
cannot consent to remain in the
Union but as an equal" and that il
the event of the election of a Black
Republican President, there would
be no equality for the South in that
Union"
An opinion prevails, even in Demo
cratic circles in the North, that thu
wherein the cry of disuniol
has SO frequently been heard from
rabid secessionists--will stand the
consolidation of the war programme
of Seward also Let such as enter
tain it be undeceivcd.
The slaveholding States will &C
upon the principle that an honorabl,
death is preferable to an ignominiou'
life. We call upon the non-slavehold
ing States to relieve them from thu
awful dilemma in which they will b,
placed if Sewardism is triumphant
We call upon Pennsylvania and Hi
nois, in particular, to ward off the
blow aimed at the honor and the in
terests Of the South. Pennsylvani;
can do it alone. Will she, can she re
f fuse? Illinois. we are persuaded, vii
not but alas she has not the powe
to prevent the catastrophe.
This is positively dreadful to thinl
Of. The idea that Col Boyce and hi
slave-holding confedcrates will eds
solve the Union,' if the people of tn
: United States shall venture to cleo
:, William II. Seward, as their mex
President, may well shake the nerves
of all the old women, male and fe
male, in the country. The poor sill,
coots ought to be told that the dis
union game was played out long age
! Leave the Union! Won't they hav,
a good time in stepping out ?"

wealth "on howery beds of ease

wealth "on fowery beds of ease"
deserves disappointment.
In conclusion we invite the young
and eterprising-those that are will
ling to labor, from whatever country
or cline, to come to Iowa. We want
no drones ; the poor things would be-
come DISTINGUISHED and remain a
burthen on our hands, but give us
men who will take hold and push for
ward in the work, and our fruitful
young State will become one of the
first in the American galaxy.-Stour
