Rhode Island Election.

The Republican press which previous
to the Rhode Island election, claimed
large majority, have, since Wednesday
materially altered their tune, and now
declare that it is of no account anyhow
that the Republican party can afford
to lose the little Insignificant State with
out grumbling.
While we admire the calm resignation
with which the defeat is received in that
State, where it was least expected, too,we
cannot agree with the vauquished party
that it can afford to lose anything that
it has got in the way Of voters, if it ex-
poets to make any show in the coming
campaign. Little as she is in acres she
has dense population, and we believe
she has As many electoral votes as Iowa,
and more than some States in the Union
The Democracy Of the Union may set
Rhode Island down a. a Democratic
State for the future. II the opposition
can afford to lose her as they assert, the
Democracy can afford to welcome her
back to the true fold.

SATURDAY MORNING. =. APRIL ?, lsee


I'll
Democrats, You have got little hard
work to do to-day. and you had better
roll up you. sleeves, tighten your belts
4 and 90 at it early. There is Demo
cratic ticket in the field which must be
elected. Aside from its being benefit
to the city to take the reins from the
hands Of Republicans, the election
go which way it may, will have its infiu-
ence in the coming campaign.
There is not q man on the Opposition
ticket who is fit in any particular for the
office to which he has been nominated.
The candidate for Mayor is not the can
didate Of the American portion or the
tax paying portion Of the Republican
party. lie is the candidate Of the Ger
mans. He was taken up by thcm-and
as they hold the Republican party Of
this city in the hollow Of their hands, no
opposition could avail anything, and Mr.
Oald we'll was nominated. What inter
est has he in the welfare OF the city
None to speak of. He could pull uf
stakes and leave any day he should
choose to do so, which should not be the
case with the Mayor of this city. We
want a man who is identified not only
in mind bnt in purse, with the CITY
But the Germans said no, and 1t was.
Citizens Of Davenport; You that have
property at stake; you that lave long
been identified with the city, and hold
her interests dear to you, can you al
ford to vote for Mr.. Caldwell Against
his character as a man or sound
Douglas Democrat you can assert moth
ing, but his interest in common with
yours is nothing. You want man who
has nerve to act and the capacity to d.
rect and advise ard assist in the coming
crisis. Do you look upon Mr.. Caldwell
a. the man? 1t so elect him to the OF
fee Of Mayor, but hereafter hold your
peace. When the evil hour comes take
the sin home to your own hearts and
make no ado about it. Property hold
ers of Davenport, you have the matter
in Your own hands as to whether jim
Caldwell shall be your chief manager, or
that sterling man, J. NJ. DaIzell, who for
years has been identified with you, and
who has interests in common with you.
The other nominees are of the same
stripe. Some Of them are good men
enough easy, good natured, good-for-
nothing sort Of fellows, but not the kind
that should be in Office Of great respon-
sibility-much better calculated to stand
in the ranks than to lead.
The Opposition ticket must be beaten
to-day. Up aud at it, fellow Democrats.

The Presidents Protest 10 the House.
The Presidents protest against the
action ofthe lower house Of Congress in
Eadop,ieg certain resolutions, in the I'M
Epeaothg aspect Of them, without pro-
hcecding inN tho way sanctioned by JUS
tce, and pointed out by the Constitu-
ton, is an able, digni6ed, and conclu-
sive document, which must and will at
tract the serious attention OF the country
however little consideration it may have
from the majority in the House OF Rep
resentatives.
70 those who know John Covode, or
who have to any extent watched his
operations since IN public life, the idea
that he has any desire to promote the
official integrity or maintain the purity
Of our institutions, is simply ridiculous.
He is politician of loose principle, a
man OF little integrity, and has no other
object or aim but to make the most for
himself out OF the position he occupies,
and hence he is willing to damage the
character, influence, or fame of any or
all persons who may DO supposed to
stand in his way. In Mr.. Buchanan's
inaugural address he said that which was
sufficient, it is believed, to bring down
| upon him from thenceforward the wrath
aud malignant hate Of this demagogue.
Mr.. Buchanan called the attention OF
the people in his inaugural to the waste
full manner in which the public domain
the inheritance for their children
was being squandered in grants of land
TO railroad corporations, and said that
| during his Administration be would re-
sst this great wrong and abuse. We
would like to ask if this man Covode
was not interested in combination
which looked to the possession, through
the legislation of Congress, Of large land
grants within the Territories, to be OBJ
tanned of course by the aid of his vote as
member Of Congress We incline to
believe, though not absolutely certain of
the fact, that be was member Of the
railroad company which organized at
Omaha City, Nebraskr Territory, in the
spring of 1858, (of which our present
Governor of Ohio was elected one of the
directors,) with a nominal capital Of
eighty m,llions OF dollars, not one cent
Of which was paid in,nor was it designed
that any money should be paid in, it
being the object and intention of the
company to obtain immense grants Of
land for leading road from the Mis-
souri, river to the South Pass, with half
dozen branches, which, if successful,
would have absorbed every foot of good
land in Nebraska Territory. The scheme
has thus far been foiled by the decided
stand taken by the President against vo-
ting away the public lands to railroad
corporations, and it was not therefore .
matter of surprise that such men as Co
vode should have deep hatred toward
him.

The Name OF IS Iowa."

EplroR REPoRTER-,Er In your
issue of the 2sth INST, in An article COM
municated over the signature of " Am
phyctyon," l find the following account
of the origin and meaning Of the name
of our State-Iowa-which is incOr-
rect
From time to time, tourists have been
accustomed to write and publish this
legend )" interpreting it at one time
to signify beautiful, at another home, &c,
&c.
"There is story among the Indian
legends regarding this country, that
one time, a celebrated Indian Chief
with chosen band of braves journey
ing through the land, rising upon the
bluffs which overlook Iowa City on the
East, exclaimed in his native dialect :
Zoua! Zo,ca i! beautiful! beautiful!''
-Amphyction.
"The word "Iowa" means "This is the
place. LIE Claire.
Aud the meaning is derived as follows:
A tribe of (Sac and Foxy Indians being
wandering or hunting, werein search of
a home, and when they csossed the Miss
issippi mot Iowa., they reached point
they admired and finding all they
wished, exclaimed, Iowa, this is the
place." Hence the derivation of the
word, as extracted from an autograph
letter in my possession from the high
authority quoted.
