Eg Our neighbor, in his rejoinder,
last week, to previous article of ours
relative to Senator DOUGLAS, shirks the
question in issue, and endeavors to make
it appear that we have tried to show that
JOHN Brown was more disciple of
DOUGLAS than of SEWARD. Now our
neighbor certainly knows that we said
nothing of this character. Mr.. DOUGLAS,
as we conceive, not long since made a
bid for Southern support by advocating
kind of Sedition Law, intended to throw
additional protection around slave prop
erty. In his speech on this question,
Mr.. DOUGLAS had the effrontery to charge
upon the Republican party the RESPONSE
bility of JOHN BRowN's invasion of Vir-
ginia. We endeavored to show, by re-
ferring to Mr.. DOUGLASS course in ref
erence to the Nebraska bill, that he had
in 1854 made similar bid for Southern
favor, and also, that it was in conse-
quence of events growing out Of that act,
and not of the teachings of the Republi-
can party, that BRowN was led to CON-
nit the act which caused his death We
commended that if there was any man in
directly responsible for the Harper's Fer
nv raid, that man was STEPHEN A. DoUG.
LAS, for he it was who opened up the
question of slavery when the country
was at peace upon it, which led, primari
ly, to civil war in Kansas, and second
arily, to BRowN's invasion of Virginia
This does not make Brown disciple O
DOUGLAS, nor did we intimate that i
did. He was follower of neither Mr.
SEWARD or Mr.. DOUGLAS, and acceded tt
the line of action of neither. But wher
Mr.. DOUGLAS, and his followers, charge
the responsibility Of the Virginia lnya
sion upon Republicans, it is Legitimate
and right to show what acts really had
an indirect influence in inducing th,
invasion and undoubtedly, above al
others, and preceding all others, we may
place Mr.. DOUGLASS bill repeating The
Missouri compromise. egg q H'f'fa
Mr.. HEDGES says that the remark tina
Mr.. DoUGLAs is accused Of having made,
that he didn't care whether Slavery is
voted up or voted down, is fabulous
Mr.. DOUGLAS was charged with having
made it. by Mr.. LINCOLN, in every dis
cussion those gentlemen had on the stump
in Illinois, and Mr.. DoUGLAs each time
reiterated It, as he recently boosted il
the Senate of,the United States. He dio
make the assertion. and in the language
of Mr.: rScnURz, his is the /" one hear,
which does not care whether the scale Of
freedom goes up or,down," ,.,.r, @.za

mainly. Thus the Anglo Saxon, the pre-
dominate race at PRESENTLY the way a
very mixed race, in which little of the
Anglo Saxon remains-is specially mark
ed by intense strength of will, and in
domitable energy; but it is deficient in
the gentleness, affectionate nature, and
softer instincts which characterize some
OF the other races. The Anglo Saxon is
the highest type of human force. and
force cannot establish a stable civiliza-
ton. That will not be done until all the
types of races chasten, correct, ennoble.
purify and perfect each other, and are
concentrated in the highest type of man.
In other words, not until man discards
oppression and slavery, and discovers
and practically recognizes the brother
hood of man--the deepest truth of his
nature.
1t would seem that so manifest an op.
portunity was never presented for the be
ginning Of that new and noble civiliza
ton, as IN our own country. We have
vast and unequa lied public domain
sufficient for all the world, not appropri
ated to individuals, not the property OF 8

abused and desecrated by slave holders
is the equal liberty. equal rights, and
equal brotherhood of all men, That is
the charter of every human BEINGS righ
to be here, and to enjoy all the mean:
provided by nature, and the press, and by
human society, for development.
America stands, with her vigorou:
growth, her exhaustless resources, ano
/ her gospel of freedom, in the middle be
tween the dead and the dying civilization;
of the Old World-the Asiatic on thu
one side, the European on the other
We are thus, by position, the natura
home of all whom the Of d worlds tyran
MES have robbed of their birthright-
Every one who seeks to recover his man
hood by flying from oppression, has {
right to be here, and to be welcomed.
Never before, or elsewhere, have the va
rious races been in such close proximity
and near relations as here. Hitherto
each tribe has occupied its little exclu
sive corner of earth, and so far from hav
ing connection were hostile to the others
Now, in this land, the unsocial barriers
are let down, and from all countries, ane
from the isles Of the sea, a highway il
opened for mutual improvement and de
velopment. Every man has here RICH
and home, and we are false to our pc
sition and duties, if we shut our doors
and withhold a greeting and welcome
from any who come for admission. lie
there be no doors, no gates, no barriers

An effort is being made to induce the
Legislature to pass law exempting all
permanent improvements upon the soil Of
Iowa from taxation. We think the ex-
emption of limited amount of improve
ment, say 800 or 1000 dollars, would be
a desirable measure, tending to the i'm.
provement of our lands.
The Washington correspondent of the

the Committee appointed by the Demo

upon a set of resolutions which will be re
ported to the caucus called for Saturday
next. 1t is understood that they com
bine the principles embodied in the two
sets of resolutions introduced by Davis
and Brown OF Mississippi. They will
undoubtedly give rise to considerable de-
bate in the caucus, and it is doubtful
whether they will be adopted, as many
OF the Senator'S are opposed to any such
action
