PEACH PIE.-Dr. Darlington says:
p" Judging from observation it would
seem to be not generally known to our
pastry cooks that a peach pie baked
with tseJi-uit sohole, simply pared, but
with the nut LETT in the peach, is vastly
superior to one made of the mere 1eshy
portion cut in pieces. The process OF
baking, as suppose, extracts the prus.
sic acid from the seeds of the peach,
and diffases it through the pulps, i'm,
parting to it sprightly and delicious
flavor far beyond what it possesses
when the stone is previously ejected.n

under peculiar circumstances. It's not mere
" to nominate candidates for the suffrages of
the peorse, but to take cosnizauce Of trans
piring events affecting the integrity Of the
Jnien and the Constitutional rights and lib
erty Of the American psople.
An armed rebellion which ha. assumed the
form Of y separate independent Government
over several af the Southern States threatens
to wrest these States by force from the Unon
with view of establishing new Confed or
acy.
Will. the integrity Of the Union is thu
,ncnaced at tho South the Federal ConSti-
tuition is being nullfcd the Federal Gov
crnment snbverted and the personal liberties
of the people endangered by the assumption
and exercise of arbitrary power by executive
tunctionarics of the Government. who not on
" assume the exercise of extraordinary acts
Of Executive power unwarranted by law, but
who also arrogate the functions of Govern
ment invested by the Constitution in the CO.
ordinate and independent branches OF the
Federal Government. and who BY stretch OF
power unknown to the Constitution have sub
;ectea the Judicial Department of the Gov
eminent to despotism of Military force.
It il under such circumstances of impend-
ing danger, involving alike the Union of
those States, Constitutional Government and
the liberties Of the people that the Democracy
of Iowa arc requested to meet in Convention,
at Des Noines On the roth day of July next,
te take such action on the state ofthe Union
and for the security aud protection of the

best to preserve the Union in its integrity and
the rights of the people from subsection to

Also to nominate candidates for the Offices
OF Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Judge
Of the Supreme Court of Iowa: and to per.
form such other duties rs may to the Conven-
ton seem good for the well being of the coun-
try and Of the people.
The appointment of Delegates will be
based upon the Democratic vote cast for the
Democratic candidate tor Governor in 1883,
giving to each county delegate in conven-
ton for every one hundred Of such votes cast
IN such county, and for a fraction of a hum
dred votes above fifty another Delegate.

INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORT.

Of this County that at the first
meeting of the board of Supervi-
sors a movement was made in ia
vor of a committee to examine
into, and report upon the cond'-
ton of the books in each separate
department Mr.: S. L. Carey of
Foreston, was in the formation Of
this most important committee
appointed its Chairman. In any
thing we may say of this report,
it is not our purpose to say any
thing derogatory to the character
of any officer whose books came
under the committees supervision;
because wrong entry instead OF
being evidence of intended wrong,
only shows on its face incompe-
tency. And such is true to, in a
measure of a committeeman that
would make an untrue report.
But of committee competent to
the discharge of its duty a false
report is dishonest. Mr.. Carey
we know possesses the ability
necessary for the proper examin-
alton of the county books, and
regret much that candor did not
compel him in making his report,
to state such errors as to the eX-
perienced eye of any accountant
competent to prepare a balance
sheet, are found to exist.
10 show that errors do exist in
the books of the late Treasurer
and Recorder, look at the follow
ing entries copied therefrom:
HA. Cook in ape. with New Oregon
Township.
1857. Nov. Is To am. J 1857 Nov. Is. By amt.
cunt Road Revenue of Road tax levied on
levied for the year residents returned to
1857 Township Clerk.
What is remarkable in these
entries is that there is no amount
expressed in either the debt or
credit column of the account.
If there was any amount levied
for road revenue in this town in
1857, to make the book correct
the amount should have been ex-
pressed, if there was no levy then
the entry should not have been
made. Ifshere was any part Of
the tax levied, returned to the
town Clerk for collection the
credit on the right Of this column
should express the amount; if
there was none returned then
the entry should not have been
made; in either event the error is
to palpable to escape the atten-
ton of the most carless observer.
lfthis were all we might overlook
this error in the report, but in
stead we find on examination of
the books, that precisely the same
errors exist in the entries in Ver-
non Springs, Forest City, Howard
Center, Jamestown, Iowa River
and Osborne for 1857, while for
1859 we fnd no account opened |
with him. If the former Treas
urcr and Recorder settled from a
balance sheet different from the
books, and showing the true state
of the Road revenue then we
would ask Mr.. Carey why this
balance sheet does not find a |
place in the county Office instead
Of being stored away among the
private papers of the ex-Treasu-
rer!

RADICALS ON THE WAR.
In our paper of last week and
the week previous, we gave ex-
tracts from the n. Y. Tribune the
Boston atlas, the n. Y. Times.
and the Dubuque Times, all avow
ing this a war for the extinction
Of slavery. This week we pre-
sent the opinions of others of the
same radical stripe. We would

Let all the powers Of freedom march
not alone to the rescue Of liberty but to
the attack and determination of slavery.
Slavery is against US in its length, and

more effectually do it, than by press
ing their anti-slavery notions upon the
public mind.
The Worcester Times speaks the
truth in this relation, and we endorse
it, every word. There are not fifty
men among the Connecticut volunteers
who will raise finger only in defence
of the Constitution and laws in accor-
dance with that instrument. Adolf
tionism is as repulsivo to them as S.
cessionism; and if our Abolition-Re-
publican contemporaries do not wish to
be fatally persuaded of this fact, they
will be dilligcnt in apologizing for what
they have so culpably done in favor of
their cursed theory, and ever afterwards
hold their tongue regarding it.-Hart-
ford Post.
In every event, the utmost care
will be observed to avoid any devasta-
tons or destruction of. or interference
with property, or any disturbance Of
the peaceful citizens in any part of the
country.-President Lincoln's Proc
lamation, April 18th, 1861.

bly, inform his readers.
The last number of the RepuL-
Hcan accuses us of falsehood in
intimating that its Editor had used
the language we imputed to him in
reference to Mr.. Lincoln. In reply, we
have only to say, that he made the re-
mark in the presence of at lea:t twen-
ty persons. at the Post Office here, on
receipt of the news that Mr.. Lincoln
had decided upon the evacuation of
Fort Sumter. We can prove what we
say; yet we acknowledge to obligations
that do not permit us to assume the
moral ri tone our contemporary INDUCES
in toward us, and to call Mr.. Belfoy in
