For the Jnurnal.1

In order to destroy any wrong impression
which might arise from an article signed
"Union Republican, in Saturdays Journal,
| will give correct translation of my
remarks in the Zeitumg, to which said
article is reply. said:
"Our friend John G. Slime has furnished
irrefutable proof in the Journal that slavery
is lawfully existing in Iowa, and that by no
human power can the same be wiped out
from the soil OF Iowa. Therefore, in future
times, it will be required to solicit the inter
ference OF the Pope in o. der to get rid of
slavery. MIR. Slime asserts that, because the
United States Constitution guarantees slav-
cry, every State of the Union-and, there
fore, Iowa, too-is q slave State; further.
more, that everybody is traitor who thinks
differently. Is not this strong tobacco
Mr.. Slime is just the man we want
on the United States Supreme Bench,
as soon as place may open there. We are
desirous, after all, to see how this new doc.
trine will work. 1t may be regarded as
parallel to the doctrine of the Immaculate
conception. We should secure copyright"
Now, Mr.. Slime, why SO much fuss about
such harmless, and even fattering, words
The Pope is, essentially, no human power
he is divine one; and, therefore, he alone
may be competent to do such things in rela
ton to slavery as heretofore have been done
by Constitutional Conventions. le, in
former times, claimed and exercised the
privilege Of donating the soil itself of
America to certain powers = why, then,
should he not be competent to deal with
slavery, on its surface? ~z3a
You see | have not at all assaized your
doctrine; and l will not do so now-no more
than would dare to make an inroad upon
the d, ctrine Of the Immaculate Conception.
Your passionate language could, however,
give some foundation to the belief that your
relations to Rome are more delicate than is
generally known. The Irish vote is some
times very available. Or did you, perhaps,
employ the illustrious pen of that genius of
"Bocksberg,' who modestly styles himself
he s'Son of Small Man?''

government could give land to the landless,
id ould give niggers to the niggerless, and
open tho African slave trade on missionary
principles, bringing negroes here to be con-
ver,ed-t that Stale secession from the Union
is not treason that New England, "by
liberal legislation, got rich, aud kept the
other sec-ons pnor"'-that dissolution of
the Union would be the best thing that could
possibly happen, inaslnuch rs it would cause
New England "to beg the South to come
bnck" that the South will never permit q
Republican President to be inaugurated-
that, if it comes to war, the South, being the
stronger military power, will whip the ortI, |

Her the Journal ! .

MR. EDITOR Permit me. in few words,
to answer through your columns the assault
made by the Zsilung Of yesterday on ''Intor.
nation given." In reply, wish to say to
its editor that be must know that in this
country Church and State are separated by
the constitution of the United States. The
morals and the laws of this country are two
distinct elements. Consequently, neither the
Pope. nor any other minister of tile Gospel,
has anything to do with politics. f. Nor would
any but confirmed inidel be so seIf.fnrgot-
ten as 70 drop himself SO low 10 the scale OF
humanity, and drag into political contro-
versy, with which they have nothing to do,
and assail with contempt those charged with
the holy calling of preaching the Christian
Gospel, to the influence of which we all owe
the civilization and happiness Of our country.
Mr.. Rotteck, it seems you dare not even
attempt to attack single sentence of my
argument. but content yourself by ridiculing
the true princir'es of the American govern
ment, and of course of the Union Republi-
can" party. MD. assoc ,"..-
No, Mr.. Ro,teck, invite you to open your
Black Republican battery. Come out man
fully, and let US hear reasoning. I am ready
for the contest. Pretty strong tobacco" eh2

Post Office Statistics,

The New York Tribune has compiled from
official sources list of the Post Offices in the
United States which yield net revenue to
the Government Of more than a thousand
dollars, or of which the compensation to the
Postmaster exceeds $1,000 The Tribune
SAYS it is instructive to notice how many
officers receive greater compensation than
the amount paid to the department. 1t thinks
the list will be useful when the next admins
tration will be called upon to consider the
appointments to these Offices. The following
are the Iowa Post Offices commandingsalaries
