are equally as important in Iowa:
Let Us urge on our friends the necessity Of

/ Form Douglas clubs in ali the villages.
2. Circulate papers and documents.
3. See that frequent meetings are he'd in
each school district; to be addressed upon the
Issues Of the day. DO not walt for distinguish
ed speakers from abroad. but let the young
men Of he county take hold, and do their duty
thoroughly.
4. Let accessions to our ranks be chrOnicled
by the press. Let those who join our STANDARD
. ,pesl TO their fellow citizens in published adj
dresses, to unite with them.
g. Let the work Of canvsssing the election
dist. lets commence now, and go quietly and
thoroughly on to the end
If this is done we shall beat Mr. Lincoln in
disastrous manner. He will be given up be-
fore the contest commences; and when the
great body Of his supporters see that the alter
native is Douglas or u secessionist, they will
not hesitate to choose.

For sometime past-ever since the
nomination of Breckilridse State
ticket in MISUNDERSTANDING anxiety
has been felt by the Democracy OF Mis-.
souri, as to tho position that old wheel.
horse Of Democracy, James S. Green
would take-whcthcr he would decide
for the regular Democratic nominees,
or the nominees of the Breckenridge
and Lane faction. This question, we
are glad to hear, has been settled in ia.
vor of the former ticket.
Although Senator Green processes to
be Breckinridge man, and considers
the nomination Of Douglas irregular, he
discountensnces the action of the Brock
inridge'tcs 10 ioisting upon the people OF
Missouri B. L. l.. ticket.
This will have telling effect in the
political aspect Of affairs in the State q
Missouri, as there are thousands in tina,
State who will be Influenced by this ac
ton.
The Republican very properly sug
gests to the B. l. L. men,the propriety Of
withdrawing their State ticket and thus
closing up the breach in the Democratic
party in that State.
The contest in M;.sonr; = ,,,.x;no

-eFhefOllowing from the pen of the ed
itor of the louisville Democrat, is one
Of the most interesting and remarkable
pieces which the campaign has produced.
How well conceived {! How admirably
expressed! How terrible the sting!
"a PARALELL.-In the early times of
our Government, there lived a man whose
talents were of the first order, whose
manders were exceedingly captivating,
and whose early life was one of contin-
ued triumph. A pet of the people, no.
thing that he could ask was refused, and
honors seemed to await him on all sides.
In military, legal and political achieve
ments he had no equal. Honors gathered
upon him almost like magic, and at a very
early age he was made the mex highest
officer in the Government. This was his
eliminating point. One step more, and
he would have been the first nan by po-
sition in the nation. But time moved
slowly on-too slowly for him. Another
cOnfederacy seemed possible, rnd a bold
move would place him supreme over it.
In later years there lives a man and
all can draw the parallel"

Legacies Of Buchanan.

Independent" the well informed and
reliable correspondent of the Philadelphia
American, says:
1.-The unexpended appropriations on LIST
Of July, for the last fiscal year, exceed
ed Sl7, 500, 600, or more than s $780,
600 beyond the average. This occurred
because the Secretary of the Treasury
has not seen fit to execute the laws
Excuses were devised for holding back
appropriations, and the public have been
made to suffer Inconvenience and injury,
merely because a party purpose was to
be snbserved in ~concealing the true con-
ditiOn Of the department. =
By the time Mr.. Buchanan retires
from Office and his legacies are paid, the
public debt will have increase to about
$4,000, 900 exclusive of the 500, O0O,-
600 which General Pierce turned over to
him on the 9TH of March, 1857, and which
be reduced to SI7, 7l0,7l4 by the first
OF July, when that fiscal year closed. He
found The debt to be some SOC, 600, 900 in
round numbers. Adding the increase to
the balance receixed from General Pierce
and Mr.. Buchanan has spent at the rate
Of nearly 100000, 900 per annum above

A gentleman writes to the New York
Tribune, from Des Moines, on July I'd
as follows: u
Never since the settlement of central
Iowa have the farmers had better pros.
poets for and abundant harvest. l speak
of the central counties, Polk, Dallas, Ma.
rion, Boone, Warren, Mahaska, Madi-
son, Guthrie, and others. In all these
counties, the wheat crops are nearly ripe
and promise an abundant yTeld. The
corn, too, looks fine, and is at least two
weeks IN advance of any former wear
Potatoes, buckwheat, and beans, look
well. The quantity of grain out is lar
ger than ever before. This years crop
will redeem central Iowa, and show the
world a fertility unsurpassed. In the
early part of the season it was very drv.
but nothing is now seen of the effects Of
the drought, but the shortness of our
prairie grass. Still we have good pas-
ture, and shall have plenty of excellent
hay, reduced in quantity, but improved
in quality.
