CENSUS OF IOWA,

We publish to-day the census of this
State complete by counties, and like
wise the mortality Of each county for
the year ending June 1st, 1860. This
is an interesting publication to the peo-
pie OF Iowa, as we trust it may prove
to be to the people of other States and
countries, as it shows how desirable a
place Iowa must be for people to live
In; else its population could not increase
as it has done for the last ten years.

Scraps from Prentice.

A country exchange relieves US of great
apprehension by expressing its unlimited
confidence in the ultimate safety of the
Union, from the well-known capability
of Congress to talk any question before
the country to death, and in this way dis
union will die the death of the damned.
In the estimation of genuine Demo.
crat, the chief end of political life is to
feed literally at the pnblic crib. A
Democratic politician who hasn't had his
arm in the treasury full length at least
halfa dozen times in the course Of his
career, is regarded, and, Indeed, looks
npon himself as failure. He is almost
ashamed to look the public in the face.

abrogation of the Missouri Compromise
This movement opened the Aoodgates
of Slavery agitation, and the stream then
set running has been increased in volume
ever since. Either Messrs. Pierce and
Gushing foresaw the mischief they were
Matching. or they were deficient in those
statesmanlike perceptions which could

July 5, IS90.-Mr. d. Farcer, Dem,
Of Kentucky, brought forward motion
for the suppression of oral discussion In

Der proposed, as a substitute, that all
questions at issue shonld be settled by SIN

orable members, were up to the present
period. in the hadit of sticking at moth
ing. and he (AIr. Farcer) thought that this
proposal would certainly obEiate such a
state of things by giving them something
to stick at.
Mr., Barker, (Dem. of Virginia, sec
onded the motion, and also he would be
happy to second any of the combatants
in want of his assistance. He believed
his qualifications in this respect were well
known to the honorable House and if
any member was ignorant of them, he
would take the liberty of rscapitulatlng.

Thurlow Weed, in litter to the
Evening journal. from Washington
City, Of the date Of Dee. 10. ssyg: -
"The whole tendency and DRIFT Of tn
ire-eaters is to prepare their section O
the Union for its dissolution. This L
the warp and filling" Of all tksifspeech
es. In the House, they proclaim thai
the election Of Black Republican Presi,
dent will be sufficient cause for such dis
solution. In the Senate, Mr.. Iverson, Of
Georgia, more impatient, announces hi:
readiness to withdraw from the Union
when Mr.. Sherman is elected Speaker
But this hurry is explained by the cir.
cumstance that bis seat in the Senate is
soon to be vacant, and that, consequently,
louder thunder is necessary to secure his
reelection. IknoV nothing that so much
resembles the cry of 'DissOlving the 1,oR.
az the prophecy Of the -NlLerites, tOhO
lvaited for tie end of tie iOorld. Both
events were determined and announced
with equal earnestness. The day origi-
nslly fixed for the Ascension" with its
pOstponements, has passed, and the orld
remains, with its good and evil, to work
out a destiny higher and wiser than that
which delusion and blindness anticipated.
And the Union, in defiance of its enemies,
will survive those who threaten its integ-
rity, to work out and establish the great
problem of Freedom. The Helper Book,
published nearly two years ago, was
quite harmless until the DiSunionists, by
magnifying its importance, have given it
an unprecedented circulation. These
events are seized upon. not. as they might
be, if the South so desired, to protect
their property, gnaId their rights, and
strengthen the Union, but to peril and
destroy ALL While hanging John Brown

knew with what contempt the fre-eaters
think and speak of their Union saving
spasms, they would "saye their breath to
cool their poridge,'' These men spurn
your sympathy. Mr.. Curry told you in
his speech, what they all say mora Often
sively in conversation, that "such meet
ings amount to nothing" There is bit
one remedy for tie disease. That is to
leave the political power of the country
in their hands. The moment the dan
ger of the election of a Republican Presi
dent passes, all danger and all excite
ment will snbside. The whole question
is in "a nut-shell." Dissolying the
Union is a game for the Presidency 1t
