We DO NOT WONDER at the pititul
whine Of the Iowa City Republican,
in its address "to the Republicans of
johnson county" in reference to the action of
the Treasurer. in giving to the miserable trad
ing traitor, Harrison, the publication Of the
Tax List Don't whine if your party will
deal in traitors. remember the price of treason
NUT always be paid, even though long service
and honest merit should starve
go in lemons"a happy family you will
have. We congratulate the Republicans Of
Johnson county upon their purchase. but We
fear they will fl nd that they have paid dear
for the whistle. With two Republican papers,
put down Johnson county certain for a
large Democratic majority, in November.
DouaLA. GLEE CLuB.-The DEMocRAT yester-
day publ he'd list of six citiz-ns who it said
formed the democratic Glee Club'-"all cap
ital singers, and will give some excellent
Democratic music" Now are Informed
that three ont Of these six gentlemen Re
publicans All the Democratic mu-ic' they
make will have to be we'll paid for.-Gaz tie.
We are authorized to say that out of the six
members of the Democratic Glee Club. fve of
them are Democrats and will vote for Douglas
The sixth gentleman has never expressed to u.
his sentiments regarding the present state of
political affairs and We do not know for whom
he will cast bis vote.
In this connection we wish to say that the
singing Of the Glee Club ELECTED most un-
bounded and we'll deserved applause. The
gentlemen composing the Club are among the
very best of our vocalists, and their sweet
notes, and the patriotic sentiments contained
in their songs reused every man in the Club
Room, and made him feel like buckling on his
srmor and rushing into the fray. All praise
to the Douglas and Johneon Glee Club

tocetler. We were called upon to take notice OF
ne coming storm, the retributioD the reaction and
the q raj splasb flanders, fury, aud indignation
Of the tremendous Meriden Convention.
Well, at the proposed time ii got together, and
we published the account Of the proceedings yes
terday. Our readers have observed that, lko Mr.
Glddons mummy, aud for this occasion only,
your Aunt turned out to be your Uncle. Some
highly respectable, nO-party manufacturers, and TO
manufacturers Of humbUg especially, thought they
might as well attend this UhOn.saylDg performance
of the political thimble riggers Accordingly they
did 70. Old Save-the Union was brought on to the
track sleek and smooth as usual. Bat there were
those present who thought the old horse had been
used or d abused about enough and it was voted
by majority of those present, to get the spawned
nBgone side, and try horse of another color. 1t
was no sooner said than done. Whereat the thm-
ble-rggng, Union-saviug, gambling fraternity, who
intended to run their old sweepstakes for the South
ern purse, which they thought it would cost then
nothing to get except the urual expenses OfjOckey-
ing, were immensely indignant and INDUCED in
some very volube and glteriog generallties, swear
ing their race had been spoiled. They fumed and
sput,ered, apd in fact, left the ground in disgust.
The great majority remained, and went through
with the advertised performances. They had a
good race, good time, and had it to themselves.
p. S.-We are authorized to announce that there
will be regular match between the horse that
didn't run at MerideD, and the pony that did. IL
will take place 10 Connecticut, in April next and
may be seen oil over the State. Inc Ion. D. l.
Pratt will ride the horse if he gets back alive ana
sound from his Southern expedition.

.xvEsrEGATIONs AHEAD.

We understand that it is the intention OF SON OF
the Republicans, 90 soon the House Is organized,
to move for Committee to Inquire whether there
have been any recent violations Of that clause of
the Constitution which provides that The citizens
- of each State shall be entitled to all privileges
" and immunities of citizens in the several States"
and if so, what action, if any, OF either depart
ment of the Federal Government is necessary to
punish past and prevent future violations of this
sort: with power to send for persons and papers,
We hope this will be DONE and that there may be q
thorough examination and exposure of the recent
outrages which have been perpctratcd upon peace
able and law-abiding citizens of the North, who
happened to be dwelling in the Southern States.
We also learn that an inquiry may perhaps be In
sfituted in,o the recent mal-robberies which have
been committed by Government Officials under the
pretence of suppressing inceudary publications;
and that if the facts seem to demand it, an attempt
may be made TO punish the authors of these gross
crimes even though it be necessary to resort to inn
parchment to accomplish the object.
If these Investigations together with that IN re-
gard to the Harper's Ferry raid, are prosecuted
with vigor, much valuable information may be
educed for the study of contemplatve and conser-
yatiye minds in all sections of the country.

A FAILURE.

We understand that many Of our FRIENDS in
Washington were mised (uDintentiOnally doubtless)
in regard to the character of the recent cOmpli-
mentary dinner to Mr. PeytOn in Philadelphia.
Republican Members Of Congress were urged to
att. nd. Some were invited to speak. A few who
had intended to be present. suspecting what would
be the type of the proceedings, stayed away. One
or two who were on the spot, with the expectation
Of addressing the assemblage, after listening to
some of the speeches, left the hall and refused to
participate in the affair. We beg leave to assure
The Conservative Committee" of which Senator
Crittepden is Chairman, and Mr. L. VIM. Walker
is Secretary that all attempts to sever or break up
the great Opposition party Of the Middle States, in
order TO make way for new " half-and-half"
organization that shall busy itself with UniOnsay-
ing. while the Negro Democracy drag the country
to perditiOn, will be in vain, and may as well be
abandoned. Those who lave resolved upon over
throwing the DisuniOn cabal now in power are
ready to unite on honorable and liberal terms with
all who agree substantially with them in sentiment;
but they cannot be rent in twain either to paciiy
the fears of the timd CRAFTY the reyenges of the
malignant. Let the real friends of the Union and
the Constitution in the Middle States stand firm I!

whoever was for the time beiog the leading csndl'
date of the Disuniou party. Every man OF the He
publican party has steadily gone about bis business
ard done his bert to organize the House. fne
responsibility of organization is clearly not with
them. They have given Mr. Sherman all their
votes clearly indicating that they are satisfied with
him. They have not got majority; yet, knowing
that combination Of their opponeuts spossble 1t
Lot probable, they are willing to adopt the plurality
rule, or any other proper scheme for the termlna-
tion of the contest. If such rule is adopted and
they are voted down, they UIll not complain or
threaten to dissolve the Union, but shl go about
the busitess of legislation which they have been
eager to undertake, and will trust the people to
rive them a few more members next time

TuR PROPOSED REVOLUTION.

Two more Disunion speeches were maze yeS'er-
day in the House BY members Of the Democratic
party Mr.. Hindman of Arkansas, and Mr. Leake
of Virginia, we're the men who thus relieved
Themselves The members of the Democratic
party are certainly doing their best to bring tneir
organization not obly into contempt but to put 1t
in position, where an outraged people Will lndlg-
nantly rse and OytrwheIm it with just ven
geance.
Not only did this cry of Disunion go on through
ye,teIdays sitting, but the fact wac fully developed
BY the searching inquiries Of Mr., Collar, that o

The N. y. Times has adopted the theory of Mr..
Douglas touching Squatter Sovereignty, and shOald
that gentleman BE- nominated at Charleston Th,
Times will doubtless figure in the coming contest
as sound and efficient organ of the Democratic
party.
We find, however, in the Washington dispatches
of that Journal ststement that in his recent reso-
lutons touching slave pr, pcrty in the Territories,
Senator Brown "galvanizes the dead carcass of
/" Popular Sovereignty, and opens afresh Slavery
"agltatiOns.'
This may be all true, but what business has
the organ of Mr.. Douglas to cali Popular Sow
ereignty dead carcass"

The Apgl0.SaxOn, which arrived at Portland yes-
terday morning, brings four days later new3-her
dates being to the 9TH inst, from Queenstown. The
English coast had been again visited by severe
storms, causing number of marine disasters Inc
London Times states that present appearances midi
cate that the contemplated European Congress VIII
not take place. This opinion was quite prevalent
in other quarters though there was nothing aUthOr-
tetive IN base il uoon On the other hand, 1t IS re-
norted that tle Congress will meet on the 18th of
February. The Pope had been officially assured
that the pamphlet on lie Pope ct h COHgrss did not
EXPRESS the sentiments of the French Government
At a diplomatic reception by Napoleon, ON New
Years Day, he made q brief pacific address. NJ
Thouyenel has been appointed French Minister for
Forejen Afairs. in place of Count Walewski, re-
stoned. Late intelligence from ludia states that
3 600 rebels and their leaders had been made prls-
ouers in Dude. The information we receive from
the war between Spain and Morocco represents the
Spaniards as being exceedingly successful. The
Mortara Gaze has been revived in Italy by the ar
rest of the reverend Father and IDqulsitor Gillette,
WHO ia charged with ordering the child TO be lid
napped. Garibaldi had received an enthusiastic
ovation at Milan. 1t is probable thst he VIII re-
ceive the general command Of the army. A very
unfriepdly feeling toward the French s reported as
..Yis,ipo at Vienna. The Austrian army is to be
placed on peace footing, ard the report that the
arstOcratic officials of Austria had rendered their
services gratis to the Emperor is denied. Ii was
q renorfed only tohnt TO them what they should do.

a VERY RLACK VETO.

We nave received the Message of Gov. Black of
Nebraska, vetong the bill prohibiting Slavery in
that Territory. 1t is long and elaborate, and at
tempts good deal Of hard work. One of the
small Jobs undertaken in il il to review and refute
Mr. Justice Curtis's argument delivered on the Oc-
casion of the bred Scott decision This, the
reader must naturally think, would require consld-
cradle space, at least. That, at least the Cover.
nor gives to it. But We only design to call attention
to the main point in the Message. The Governor
admits that the organic act allows the people of
the Territory to manage their domestic affairs in
their Owl way. Bat then he says the case turns
on the question, "Who are the people of Ne
brasla? ?" He denies that their representatives
in The Territorial Assembly are the people referred
TO i'm the organic act or that those representatives
have any power to act for the people in the case
This is the latest form of Popular Sovereignty
that we have heard Of. Could anybody but the
smallest sort of peitliOgging lawyer have ever dug
I'D an argument so contemplate ~ this The
people of Territory want act passed to prohibit
Slavery. They elect a Legislature to pass it, and
the Legislature enact the law. As soon as this Is
done. the Governor comes down with his veto, aud
kills the bill on tie ground that it was not thepeOpe
who acted on the subject-It was only their repre-
sentatycs in the Legislature lie makes nopretence
that those representatives are not unanimously
backed by their constituents, but aims to shelter
himself under the subteriuge that the Representa-
tyes of the people are not the people.
On the whole, we think this is about the most i'm
pertinent slap in the face the people have ever re-
ceiyed from any of the tricky politicians engcndered
in the slmc OF Lecompt0nsm.

SINA1E, Jan. l9.--On motion Of Mr.. Douglas, Ms
resolution in1rucing the Judiciary Committee TO pre-
pare bin for the better protection of States against
invasion was made the special order for Monday Alter
noon next. Tie question asto the existence off Con-
gress, owing 10 the non-orgaoiaGon of the House,
was brought up again by Mr.. Mason of Va, and dis
eussed After the submission Of number of PROPOSE
tons the matter was dopped, when expression from
tbe Senate was obtained on point Of order which
e1presson indicated that the Senate disposed to
proceed TO legislation. Mr.. King moved an Dyestiga-
ton respecting the payments for public printing, when
the Senate Adjourned 10 Monday.
House., Jan. l9.--Mr. Hindman (Dem., Ark, took
the floor for the purpose OF showing TINT the RepuL-
cans were responsible for the non-Organzaton OF the
House; and also referring TO the Lawrence dsas'er
that great wrongs to the working classes were perps

Mr. Reagan, Dem, Texas, moved acall ofthe House,

A friend who was present, aud witnessed the
scene informs US that the writing of Mr.. George
Briggs under the roasting which Mr.. Carter in
Hicted upon him in the House OF Representatives,
on Wednesday, was painfully amusing. Mr. Carter
accused him Of inconsistency 10 voting for gentle
men for Speaker who were in favor of protecting
Slavery in the Territories by Congressional inter-
vention Mr. Briggs denied that he had done So
wbereupon Mr.. Garter catechised the South Ameri-
cans for whom Briggs had voted, as to their creed
on that subject. In response, Mr.. Boteler of Viz
giDia (amoDg others, the gentleman whom Mr.
Briggs first nominated ard supported for the
Speakersbip, declared that he was in favor of Legis
latye, Judicial, and Executive protection for slave
property in the Territories. Briggs twisted, and
stanmered, and looked silly, and talked foggy, and
finally buted out that he favored pretty nearly the
same thing Is this man dementedl Or is he q
candidate for Speaker-er both by the by Mr..
Carriers speech told with great effect upon the
House. 1t was able, pointed, and sound.
