have had the impudence to get up
in the House of Representatives
and urge upon that House, to or
ganizc by electing Speaker at
once, urging the necessity of an
appropriations tc pay government
mail contractors as a prominent
excuse: when it is fact we'll
known to every BODY, that this
sanse party through the self same
men, who have such strong SYM
pathy for the mail contractors at
present, did ut | l o'clock ut ight
on the last day Of the last Session
Of Congress defeat an appropria.
ton bi,l for that purpose knowing
as they did that its defeat would
place it beyond the power of the
executive to meet the current OK
penses of the next fiscal year.
We ask, would or could such
unblushing impudeRcc esel have
shown itself from any other spot,
from that side of the House.
We urge upon our readers, to
examine closely the acts of our
Legislature and of Congress, it
you wish to know how and with
whom the cquinomical and con-
servativc men of this State and Ma
,tioa act and vote there, you will
find whether they act with the
Democracy or with the Helper
party.
1t is not often that we try our
hand at an e itorial, but IN the
absence of the editor, we thought
to call the attention of our read
ers to the action Of the Legisla-
ture &c. now in Session. 1t we
have said anything to harsh for
our Rep ,blican friends we will
gladly take it all back and say
something worse next time.

chased By a gentleman in y. Y.

to England, to show the breeders

from being fat, and yet he weighs

by the united efforts Of the
Congrcgationalist, Baptist and
Methodist preachers Of this place
and Vernon Springs, for the last
three weeks; large number of
converts, have been induced to
put their conyictionsin;o practice.
We learn that the above named
preachers are about to unite their
efforts in Vernon Spings but we
don't believe it will take as long
to convert that town as it has
ours-because all manner of flesh
had corrupted their ways about
New Oregon,
Some Yankee has invented, and
asks to have paten ed machine
with which to worship the true

PROGRESSION IS THE
THEME OF THE AGE.

One would suppose from the
appearance Of the Message of the
Governor, it being as long as an
ordinary Message of the Presi-
dent of the U. S. Because Of the
extreme length, Of this windy and
embarrassing document, we pre-
sumo That not half a dozen sheets
in the State will reset it.
lie condemns party legislation,
by which we suppose he meant to
be understood, that it was ha,d
times, they can make it profitable.
He also recommends a Registry
law, by which W. suppose is meant
law similar to the Registry Law
of n. Y. which takes from the
voters the right of choosing a
boar,l Of canvassers, and gives it
to an appointed committee to say
who are, and who are not voters;
thus having it SO nicely Black
Republicanized, that a mans hav-
ing his name Registered by said
committee, is Prina Facie evil
dence ofhis being voter, there
being no power left with the peo-
ple to restrain such from voting,
though they be known to be
aliens or to have ser, ed an unpar-
doned term in the Penitentiary.
On the subject of Rail Roads
the Governor wares eloquent: so
much so, that one would suppose
he intended the State should fin
ish all the roads that companies
fail to complete within specified
time after obtaining a charter.
From every modern Republican
paper one picks up, he will see
the wesds Retrenchment and Re.
form, but now consistent their
acts. On the llth it was propos-
ed to cut down the pay Of the
chief Clerk of the Senate of Iowa,
from 6 to 4 dollars, but it was de-
feated by strict party vote ofthe
Republicans.
The pay of the assistant Secreta.y
was cut down from 6 to 3, every
Democrat voting FOR the reductions
and 8 Republicans against it.
The Offices of second assistant
Clerk in the House, and assistant
Sergeant-at-.Arms in the Senate,
were abolished by the persistent
efforts of the Democracy. Our
readers will see at a glance how
the Jewel of consistency glitters in
the nose Of our Republican Legis-
latpxe.

WENDELL PHrLLlPs.--Ridicule
and sarcasm are sometimes more
potent than argument. The Gel.
ebrated London Punch, in 1850,
put I'm end to the abomin:ble flu
neral extortions, half drunk in Il
gin-shop, after the intcrment of
the dead. In the first number Of
Vanity Fair, our New York
Punch, the absurd 'heroizing Of
old John Brown, is admirably hit
off by a sketch emb"dying Wen

is decapi,ated. The massive head
Of the great statesman-in just
proportions with the broad shout
ders, whence it has comedies at
the base of the statue. and in it's
proper place is substituted the
loag-drawn, narrow head of old
John Brown. Instead Of the Ms.
Of the Constitution, or SOME elo-
quent Grafton OH the Union, in
the right hand, we see a revolver,
while the left hand holds a bundle
ofpikes ia lieu of the strong bound
fasces. Beneath is the following
legend:-"'l'hc Webster statue, a !

peculiar, small, narrow cqput OF
John Brown to the broad shout
ders of Webster, is only equalled
by the love to man displayed in
the cooked revolver and the muir
derous pixies.
