Iowa and Missouri.

The idea that there is to be any scri-
Gus difficulty between the State Of Iowa
aud Missouri, which have 50 long lived
side BY side on perfectly amicsble
grounds, is fast becoming obsolete.
Missourisns will not longer entertain an
mcseu, Any such thought ever entered
their heads, and we are sure there are
no Iowans who feel called upon to carry
war into Missouri. The military powers
now in that State are unit, and in out
breaks, no unwarraLtable acts of disobe
dience to wholesome laws, no flllibuster-
ing upon neighboring States will be for
. moment tolerated. Iowa has nothing
to fear from Missouri, and her citizens
can find better ways for spending their
surplus change than by maintaining a
standing army on our Southern frontier
for any length of time. Let the militia
which is soon to be organized in the
Southern counties, take care Of that sec
ton Of the State and we do not ques
ton their entire capability so to do.
