Resto, a,lon of Confidence.

We observe that the tone of public
opinion in the East as regards the West,
has undergone wonderful change with
in a few months. There was time-a
short time since-when Eastern journ-
ais advised their readers not to even
cast an eye towards the prairies. Men
who had never investigated the position
Of the west, men who had never travelled
beyond the limits oftheir own school dis
trict or the township in which they first
drew maternal pap, have been very saw
age-very hard upon western institu-
tons, and have even gone so far as to
pronounce the praries humbug, and
the entire population band of swind-
lers aud cutthroats. Others of more
extended knowledge, those who came
out west for the purpose of cleaning out
the natives, but instead of that got
cleaned out themselves, have retired into
their original obscurity, and busily en-.
gagged in sIandering the west. Taking
advantage of the bad results arising
from succession Of poor crops, the cry
OF blasted credit, but faith aid total
bankruptcy was raised, and kept up
pretty successfully for a while.
But change has come oyer the sp,r-
it Of their dreams, and again we see
eastern papers as in days past, speaking
in highest terms ofpraise Of the west.-
They have heard of the immense crop
which the west is producing-heard of
the dawn Of noble time and fairer pros.
poets, and are now constrained to admit
that away out here in the Valley of the
Mississippi there exists the great heart
OF the Union-the source from which
our great commercial institutions are to
derive their vitality. The East is again
counting favor with the west, and if she
behaves herself properly we have no OBJ
jections.

Chicago Journal.
While the bloated scribbler Of the
Journal was engaged in getting off the
above miserable slang he seems to have
forgotten entirely that on the return Of
Judge Douglas to Chicago in 1854, the
Black Republicans Of that city not only
threw rotten eggs at the distinguished
gentleman while attempting to address
the people, but they also raised mob
and broke up the meeting altogether.
Does the Journal man forget that he
and his contemporaries applauded the
conduct of the Black Republican mob
Does the editor OF the Journal deny
that he encouraged individuals to en-
gage in that outrage before the meeting,
that he spplauded during the transac'
ton. and Landed them after the work of
infamy was finished! The Journal is
sweet paper to bawl about "outrages
against freedom Of speech"
Again let US ask that paper. did the
leaders of the Republicans Of Chicago
ever take any steps towards denouncing
the cowardly acts Of their understrap-
perss Never! Instead Of acting man.
fully as did the Democrats and Ameri-
cans at Cairo, they basely applanded,
and the Journal mans throat was made
hoalse by shouting for and cheering on
the mob. After such conduct, we think
it would be full as we'll for the journal
man to keep quiet about the freedom Of
speech and outrages upon polltica, speak

The BODY Of Lawrence Found.

nc 0OOy VI Law CnOO VAssSs
OrruMwA, July 80, 1860,
Mr.. EDITOR The remains of hu-
man body, supposed to be that OF
George Lawrence, were found concealed
in a deep ravine about 80 rods from the
road leading from Ottumwa to Agency
City, 3 miles east of this city. They
were discovered by man hunting cat
tie on the 2Sth.-The flesh was entirely
decayed and the bones were scattered.
There was a hole on the back of the
skull an inch and half in diameter, In
tlicted by some deadly instrument, per-
haps a Ratchet. The opinion here. is
that he was murdered on the 2Sth Of
March last at the same time and by the
same wretch who murdered Laura
Harvey. He is identified by the cloth
ing found with the remains as being the
same man who was here in company
with Laura Harvey the day before she
was murdered. The clothing was
weather beaten so that it is difficult to
say what was their original color. He
had on frock cloth coat, identified as
the same that Lawrence had OH here at
the Hotel, by lady who repaired 1t and
sewed the buttons on one side. The
pautaloons were fine cashmere Of gray or
drab color. The tailor here who repair
ed Lawrence's pants is positive that
they are the same. He Identifies them
by a peicc which he set in and his work
upon them, 10 which he says he cannot
be mistaken. His vest, a double breast
ed plush with glass set buttons, buck
skin gaiter shoes, net drawers and IN
der shirt, gold sleeve buttons, thread
stockings and a large fancy cravat,
striped changeable silk of very fine quail.
ity in perfect state of preservation. All
the other articles of clothing were great
ly damaged and decayed.
There is no doubt but that Macomb
murdered Miss Harvey and Lawrence
both on the same night, first despatch
ing Lawrence with one we'll aimed and
fatal blow upon the back of the head
and afterwards killing Miss Harvey,
He then threw the body Of Miss Harvey
into the river, where it was discovered
next morning, and lawrence taken to
the place were i; was found on last Sat
urday An inquest was held by the
coroner, the result of which is about as
have stated and will be published in
this weeks papers OF this city.
