style, his theories crumbled to pieces at the
touch Of demonstrative experience. Such
will be the result with the fine-spun ''phi-
lanthropy" Of Gov. SEWARD and his admi-
rers. He may talk by the year Of the "Di-
vine Law" and its conflict with the insti-
tutions of the South" he may glorify this
Union till the holy thrill Of patriotism chases
his blood through every lane of life, but
when he bcgs demonstration of his SYM
pathy for the blacks in asking that they be
invested with political and, per consequence,
social equality with the white race, even his
own party, clamorous As they are for the
abstract idea, will shake their heads in de-
rision of such proposal. That Mr.. SEW
ARD is on the record in favor Of such equal
ity political, we mean is now beyonda ques'
ton. Read the quotation Mr.. Douglas gives
from speech of 1s4s, then read the COM
ments of the Senator from Illinois, and hon.
estly ask yourselves which of these men is
the truest representative of American sem
timeut. Which of the two presents your
onn cie1s of political propriety? a,..

~ The following paragraph we clip
from the male columns of the Rockford Dali
ly Ners, an independent journal of very
perceptible Republican bearings. The Ian
guage is true as it just, and possibly peru
sal of it may quiet the apprehensions of
that sympathetic portion of our opponents
who are always telling us that ''poor little
Dug is demolished!'
DOUGLAS AS A DEBArER-The readers of
the leading Republican newspapers must be
astonished at the number of times Douglas
is "Aayed alive in the Senate. He never
makes speech but Mr.. Trumbull, or Mr..
Doolittle, or Mr.. Somebody or other stakes
the conceit' out of Kim, or completely de-
molishcs him. by ''scorching Speech"
every word of which ''told on his hide
Now the truth is, that since the time of Mr..
Clay, Mr.. Douglas has never met his match
in the Senate in debate Mr.. Douglas is
not witty, nor is he as nice in his choice of
words as correct taste would desire, but
for pluck, promptness, fertility Of resource,
and capacity to deal his heaviest blows
without generalization, he probably surpass-
es any living debater. Whether right or
wrong, at the head Of powerful party, or
single handed against the whole Senate, Mr..
Douglas has never yet come out second best
in debate.

The river is wide open but with the excep-

has been decline Of few cents 96@1.OO

PRo RArA.-A bill called by this name
has recently been defeated in the N. Y. Leg
islature. Itprovidcd that freights should
be carried on Railroads at a rate proportion
ed to the distance conveyed, and not in cor
respondence with the interests of the CON-
panies which had rival lines to compete
with. In several Of the States such bills
have been passed, but We can see no sense
in it, to begin with, and as it evidently takes
from Railroads the right to manage their
own interests in matter which their agents
are most conversant with, we see no justice
in it. Nobody will suspect US of leaning to
the special interests of companies, but there
is such thing as legislative bodies growing
entirely too sharp for good health.

Flour.
1t has been said by the celebrated Theo-
dore Parker that making poor bread is the
objectionable sin mentioned in Scriptures,
but how can our wives and daughters make
good bread with poor flour. Shall they be
punished for the neglect of their guardians
to get an article from good mill! God
forbid!
A few days ago we got a sack of flour
from Drake 4 White, of the volga City
Mills and there have been no sins committed
about our house SINCE The wife looks as
pleasant as she knows how, the bread is
white and sweet, and all our affairs 20 on
smoothly. Reader, if you would have do.

CLERMoNr, March | |, 1860.


Dear Col:-Presuming you arc interested
in any matter Of news, venture to drop
you line" A family Of Nuttings, living
about four miles from this place, seem to be
the nucleus of gang of lawless characters
| whose private speculations are being devel-
oped. One of them was convicted not long
since of stealing twenty-five or thirty bush
els OF wheat, and man named Anderson,
worth three or four thousand dollars, is also
implicated. He was witness in the wheat
case, and is now under arrest for perjury in
that case. Yesterday respectfully appear
ing farmer from Minnesota, came into town
and informed some Of the citizens that the
Nuttings had a pair of horses that were
stolen from him nearly three years since.
The constable, with volunteer posse, went
last night and succeeded in getting posses
sion of the horses by replevin. The Nut
tings made some show of resistance, but
concluded that discretion was the better
part Ct valor." ..... e. ,.--.- ..-..
Clcrmont, on the Turkey River, about
twelve miles from West Union, is the "City
of Bricks of Northern Iowa. First, among
the brick structures, is the Touring mill
built by Mr.. Thompson,-six stories high,
run by water power, and capable of making
$50 barrels of -four daily. The present
pcoprietors are Messrs. Appleman, Larabee
& Packer. Several stores, dwellings, offices
and shops, two and three stories high, TO-
gether with hool-house, built of the
same material, indicate the enterprise and
intelligence Of a community, characterized
by the industry, morality and politcness of
its members. The kind attentions of Mr..
Wright, of the Clermont House, his good
table, clean beds, airy pleasant r, oms, and
frequent strains of instrumental and vocal
music from his parlor, conspire to render
his favorite house.
Among the institutions of the place are
a Presbyterian, Baptist, and Methodist So
ciety,-thc former are about erecting q
church edifice; lodge Of Good Templars,
numbering fifty or sixty members, meets
every Wednesday evening; brass band,
Of eight members, are progressing rapidly
under the tuition of their leader, Prof. Lang /;
two singing schools, taught by Prof Good
rich, meet on each Saturday afternoon and
evening; Masonic Lodge is about to be
started here. The popularity of the Times
is daily increasing with this, as with every
intelligent community, and a little more
ease in money matters will greatly increase
its circulation here. ALE.

The Legislature.

nc AeS1NA0tufcs
The supervisor system will very probably
pass. The Liquor Bill was amended in the
House so as to exclude Lager Beer, Cider,
Wine, &c. No news from the Registry Law
or the Appraisemcnt Law. A spirited de-
bate has occurred in the Senate; HAMMER
and AINswoRrH took full hand ferncnst
Gov. KrRKwooD and his pets in the Legis-
lature. In the House, the Speaker had the
door locked to keep quorum; Ex-Gover-
nor BAKER proposed to 60 through the
door," but while the elements were brewing
for one grand row, the Speaker saw his er-
ror, and ordered the door to be opened
Speaker EDWARDS probably had read of ma
king hen set by holding her on the nest |!
If he is the same john EDWARDS who was
in the Indiana Senate in 1853, he has lost
much of the good sense We then gave him
credit for. The Legislature will adjourn on
the 9th.

We didn't expect this cruel language
from uncle Billy Cramer. He is the most
popular ladies' man in Milwaukee and no.
body ever thought he was any the worse
for tor the ladies either! We like a

PAPER HANGINGs.-We saw at RIcKEL's,
the other day the largest stock of window
and wall paper that ever was brought to
McGregor. Some of it was most beautiful
and some very plain. Hank" says he
will will sell it ''devilish cheap" and as this
means very low, We advise our lady readers
to look at it early and secure the handsom-
est patterns. Rickel has also received tho
9th volume of that great book called the
Cyclopedia. No library is complete with
out it.
