EMIGRATION FROM the SOUTH

The Iowa City Reporter mention. the
arrival in that County, Of several families
from the South; and says it has no. doubt
but that our State, will, this very year, from
the seseding States alone, receive an in
crease ofpopalaiion Of at least 25, 900 souls.
The keokuk Gate City, Of the 10Th
inst, says tina. the population of the north
ern and northwestern par. of Missouri
is still going On soanal arnins exte.n.
Hundreds of families are now leaving
those sections to seek homes in Iowa,
Illinois and Indiana. A small party
came through our city yesterday en-
route for the eastern part Of Illinois, and
sad state Of affairs in Missoari they pictured
to us-which their own appearance fully
indorses. The failure Of last years crops,
the gloomy prospects Of an unfavorable
spring, and the still more gloomy future for
free labor 10 the State, indicated BY the
secession triumph of the late election, has
so disgnstcd the white settlers that uuheard
Of sacrifices are daily made by them to OBJ
tain the means to leave for the free States.

Jous W. FoRSEY, writes long letter
from Washington to his paper, in which he
pleads earnestly and manfuIy the necessity
Of a candid support of the Government BY
United North. He says the traitors form
the first regarded all offers Of Cancellation
as evidence Of cowardice, and tina. they now
refuse TO accept the uitimation Of their own
willing candidate for President last wear
and declare themselves forever out of the
Union. The proffers Of peace on the part
Of the North are secuted by the Disunion-
lists in both Sections Of the South. No, on
ly are the Cotton States determined not to
come back, but, says Mr.. FoRNEY, they cash, ,
nay, demand that the Border States shall
hold The Government, tehiie they are cut
ting out lis heart and mutilating its hn,bsi"
The letter continue: s.This Game has been
played long enough. The men who have
apologtsed to those who should have apollo
gIsed TO ,hem-who have allowed themselves
to be put in the attitude of offenders BY
traitors, with arms in their hands-and
whose carnes. Efforts 10 solve the national
| troubles peacefully have all been laughed at

form to their country and to their Gov
eminent.
There is not sympathiser with Secession
in the Free States who is not regarded as an
enemy by the conspirator, unless he brakes
up his home,, and goes over to them to aid
ia tho destruction of the Republic. A
! Douglas Democrat is in their eyes worse
than an Abo!itiouist, and a Republican is
put beyond the pale alike of penitence and
forgiveness. His regre:s are as insolently
rejected as bis appeals for liberation in his
own opinion. Where then are the men Of
tho North tending TOP That is the duty Of
oil our People' Clearly TO stand BY the

TIE ISSUE ASST STANDS.

The contest now wagcd between the Gov
crumcnt and the Seeded States has passed
beyond the limits of party controversy. 1t
has nothing whatever to do with the issues
involved in party canvass. The difference
turns no longer upon controverted ques-
tons Of righs-upon interpretations of the
Constitution, or upon the policy of con-
tending parties. All these issues have dis
appeared. They have been swallowed up
By the transceudent contest between the
Government Of the United States and those
who would destroy it. Until that is settled
all others lose their significance. Slavery
ceases to be bone of contention. IL has
no connection whatever with the contest now
impending. Its fate may be involved in the
result Of the s,ruggle-but it will receive
its death blow at the hands Of its friends.
Tho question we have now to determine
is, whether the Government of the United
States has the right, and hepowcr, to pro-
| tect itself against assassination, or whether
It must, of necessity. fall under the blow OF
| the first band of traitors who find it in the
way Of their schemes. 1t is idle to talk OF
the RICH. Of secession. You may as well
talk of the right of suicide or murder. The
secession movement can be vindicated only
on the ground that any State has the right
TO repudiase the Federal Constitution at
pleasure. This doctrine cannot be sound.
simply because il renders government inn
possible. If proposed at the outset, the
Government never could have been formed.
II admitted now, the example of the South
will be initiated, and the Union will crum-
BILE into atoms aud the States into anarchy.
There is but one course in this matter
The authority Of the Governme nt must be
sustained. 1t may possibly be resisted and
its exercise thwartcd by force. But that 10
far better than to have it surrendered att
mere demand Of those who would trample
i, under foot. If, as many assume, the for
nation and recognition Of the new Southern
Confederacy, is foregone eonclusion.is will
be far better for the remainder of the Union
that i, should not be permitted without .
vigorous effor. to maintain the supremacy
Of the Cons,i,u,ion.-N Y. Timee.

Scr0f lla, or Kings Evil.

IS constitutional disease, a corruption Of thu
blood. BY which this fluid becomes vitsa,exS
weak. and poor. Being IN the circulation, it
pervades the whole body. and may burst Gus
IN disease on any part OF il. No organ is frcs
from lis attacks. nor is there one which j, may
rot destroy. The scrosulous faint is varsoasly
caused BY mercurial disease. low living. dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air. filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices. and.
above all, by the vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin. it IS hereditary in the con-
sfstutioa, descending :. from parents TO children.
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed.
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, al
VIII visit the i,lsqaities Ct The fathers upon
their childxen.''
Its effects commence by deposition from tho
blood Of corrupt or N.ccrous matter. which. in
the hangs, liver, and internal organs, IS termed
tubereles; in the glands. sueliings; and Oh
the surface, erup;soas or sores. This foul cor
1upsion, which senders in the blood. depresscs
the energies Of h.e 50 that scrofaloss coassis,,-
tons not only suffer from scrosa.oas com
plants. but they have far less power to Wits
stand the attacks Of other diseases: consc-
qucntly vas. numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrufaloas in their nature.
are still rendered fatal by this faint in tho
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
CLIMATES the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofalous contamination: and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain.
and. indeed, of all the organs. arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking ia-
fiction. and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must rcneva,e
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigornte il by healthy food aud exercise.
