Why will men become so infatuated
upon the nigger question, when they can
scarcely be induced to listen to matters
which concern them2 Let . Speaker
mount the stump and commence harang-
ing about niggers and he will soon have
an eager crowd of listeners; then let him
commence telling the people about being
crushed with taxation, and the crowd will
ieave him. What great difference is it to
you. reader, whether John Smith holds his
nigger in Virginia or in Kansasl How
will il make you poorer or unhappie.i
In the midst of a campaign, the time
when the abuses in our government should
be talked of and corrected, we hear of
nothing but the Niger; but when the
election is over, and taxpaying time comes
then, when it is too late, we hear enough
about high taxes. Reader, now is the
time to discuss our State affairs, and point
ont the evils to our neighbors. Here is
one fact in which You have more real in>
terest than in all the nigger questions
ever got up by ofice-hunters: OUR
STATE, TAXES ARE A GREAT
DEAL HIGHER THAN THEY
EVER WERE HERETOFORE.

KEOKUK, IOWA: WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER I. 1860

IL. That Kansas should, of right, be
Immediately admitted as State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
OF Representatives.
IL. That, while providing revenue for
the support Of the general government by
duties upon imports, sound pulley requires
such an adjustment of these imports as to
encourage the development of The indus
trial interests Of the whole country and
we commend that policy of national ex-
changes, which secures to the working
men liberal wages, to agriculture remune-
rating prices, to mechanics and manufac-
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence
ID. That We protest against any sale or
alienation 10 others of the Public Lands
held by actual settlers, and against any
view of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or suppl
ants for public bounty and we demand
the passage by Congress OF the complete
and satisfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
IA. That the Republican party is op-
posed TO any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any Stale legislation by which
the rights Of citizenship hitherto accorded
TO immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor Of
giving full and efficient protection to the
rights OF all classes of citizens, whether ma
tive or naturalized. beth at home and
abroad
10. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor improvements of a
National character, required for the &C :
commoda'ion and security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by The Consti-
tuition, and justified by the obligation Of
Government to protect the lives and prop
erty OF It's citizens.
10. That Railroad to the Pacific Ocean
is 'mperalvely demanded by the interests
OF the whole country that the Federal
Government ought to render immediate
and efficient aid in its construction; and
that, As preliminary thereto, daily Over
land Mail should be promptly established.
IL. Finally, having thus set forth our
distinctive principles and views, we invite
the cooperation OF all citizens, however
differing on other questions, who substan-
TALLY agree with us In their affirmance and
support.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize
with those men who have been driven,
some Of them from their native States and
Others from the State of their adoption.
and are now exiled from their homes on
account of their opinions; and we hold
The Democranc party responsible for this
gross violation OF thar clause of the Consti-
tuition which declares that the citizens of
each State shall be entitled to all the priv
iieges and immunilies Of citizens in The sew
eral States.

Washington Gossip-What Killed the
Mexican Treaty.

A correspondent Of the N. Y. Express
says that Nj. Simmons, Of Rhode Island
gave the coup dc grace 10 the Mexican
Treaty. lie writes:
Speaking Of Rhode Island. reminds me
that the new Mexican Treaty was killed
in the Senate through the sagaciy Of
her distinguished Senator, Mr.. Simmons
This Treaty provided for the establish.
ment Of fee trade between Mexico and
the United States. Our treaties with
other nations provided that they shall all
be put on the same footing with the most
favored nations in this resrect. II, then
this treaty with Mexico had been con-
frmed, we should have been compelled
to open our ports to Great Britain, France
and Germany, aud all the world besides.
