 legal, peaceful withdrawal of state without the Union's consent-thus sugar coating rebellion public mind has been drugged during thirty years, and good men in arms against the government This sophism derives currency from the assumption of some omnipotent supremacy pertaining to a state States have neither more nor less than re- served power-no one of them being state out of inc Union The original ones passed into the Union before casting of British colonial depen- dence-new ones come in from their condition of denendence Exen Texas during her temporary ;ndenen,lence, was never designated a state.

This is essentially peoples contest am happy to believe plain, common people understand and annreciate this. It is noteworthy that, while in this national trial, officers have resigned, no com mon soldier or sailor has deserted the flag.
 If remains to be demonstrated, that those who can fairly carry an election, can also repress raheIlion. That ballots the rightful and peace asI successors of bullets, and that when ballot have fairly and constitutonally decided, there can a m successful appeal back to bullets-no appeal .. all except ,o ballots themselves at succeeding aiaatons.

District Court. .-...
We saw His Honor, Judge Williams, on
Monday morning. He informed Us that
the Court got through with the docket on
Saturday night, having been in session a
full week.
Hiram Downing, the Monona farmer, was
sent up for FIVE wears for robbery. Clog
ston, of the same party, and Ferguson, al
SO Of the Downing clan, were each s: mt for
four years and three months, the three
months being added to their service that
they might be let out in the Spring Of the
year, instead Of being thrown helpless on
the world in mid winter; we regard the
sentence as highly creditable to the human
ity Of the court. All plead guilty" The
testimony of the two young men lead to the
information that Downing had stolen from
different ncighbors about 800 bushels Of
wheat, and had marketed it at McGregor /!
The parties had no difficulty in getting
judgment against Downing for the amount,
and as his farm is good one the money for
this stolen wheat will soon be recovered
There were eight such judgments obtained.
d. Leffingwell was the attorney for the
plaintiffs in the wheat suits.

Journals. 4.
We re in receipt of several new exchanc-
es this week. The Waterloo Courier, Ap-
panoosc Chieftain, Cedar Falls Gazette,
Upton Democrat, Fort Dodge Republican,
Delaware journal, Sioux City Register, and
Omaha Nebraskian, hail from West and
South Of US. The West Bend Post is
handsome new paper published at West
Bend, Wisconsin, and well edited by Kel-
logs and -, We forget his name, and the
paper is sunk in our pile of exchanges, or
has been stolen by some good judge Of
VARIABLE journal. :. Hon. I. II. Benton, ir.,
editor of the Iowa School Journal, sends us
No. ola new series Of that interesting
work-we say Interesting because it is
fashionable word, but our private opinion
is, that there is nothing so prosy on earth
as modern School journal, unless it NAV
be a long prayer before wedding. Why
don t the editors of school papers get up
something to please the tastes of children
and youth instead of long dissertations on
dead languages and other defunc. subjects.
"Peter Farley (heaven rest his soull) cod
have edited School Journal and made it
win, but these stilted writer's of solid wis
dom never will do any good to the class
they are selected to teach. :. The Fayette
Observer comes to us enlarged and improv-
ed, with the name ofN. B. LAKIN as editor.
The Observer is paper of marked ability;
hailing as it does from the Seat of Learning
for North Iowa, the understood organ too
of the University, and assisted, as it should
be, by the intelligent professors, teachers
and students Of the Institution, the Obser.
yer should be behind no paper in the State
in interest and scholastic value. We are
glad to see marked improvement in it
within the last few. months, and we hope to
be able to chronicle its future advance. >.
The Iowa Reporter comes to US in new
dress. The Register of Des Moines aoas the
handsomest paper in Iowa, but the Repor.-
er, in its new clothes, divides the honor
We don't like the way the Reporter ran off
from the Democracy, but we are so fond of
doing just as We like, that we easily accord
to others the same right. The Reporter is
edited with ability, and in any respect is
creditable to the city of its publication. :.
The Lacrosse Democrat material and press
es were seized by the Sheriff, few days
ago. Brick" the irrepressiblc qull-driver,
uses the material of the Republican Office to
get the Democrat out regularly as usual,
and in short time he expects to have new
type, presses, &C., &. Pomcroy is not a
religious man, but he can bring his locality
before the public more effectually than any
editor in the West, and for that reason his
pen is of great value to any city for which
he works.

Life Insurance
Those desiring this safest and cheapest protecr
ton tor their families, can secure it in our
Wisconsin Company. 1t has already become,
in reality, State institution, having Agents
and patrons among the best business men in all
the principal towns in the State. It is no lon
ger matter of doubt that Life Insurance can
be conducted as well in Wisconsin as in Connec.
ticnt or any other Eastern States.
Thus while duty demands that men should
insure their lives, it also demands that they
should keep their money for investment ut
home. Confident that our success has been
more than equal to that OF the most "unprece.
denied" we would cordially invite all our citi.
zens to call at the Office, south west corner Of
Main and Wisconsin streets, and examine for
themselves. S. S. DAGG EFT. Pres,t.
