Old Fdlhs' Concert. -Everybody is on the
qui rice for the Old Folks Concert to be held
in Ovcrman's Hall on Christmas night,
Thursday, Dec. 25th. The managers are
sparng no pains or expense to make the &C.
casion brilliant success. We, as people,
generally intend to have good time, Of some
sort or other, on Christmas, and here we have
an opportunity Of cemmemorating the day
pleasantly and proftably whether we re-
gard it in an instructive, mora, or gastronom-
ical point of view, or in all three. The doors
will be opened at 81. and the Concert will
commence at 7 precisely. This part of the
evenings entertainment W II be rich, rare and
racy; novel, unique and antiquated. The
performers will be dressed in the costumes
Of century and more ago, and the music
will be Of character to correspond. The
best vocal talent of the place has been en-
gagged, and nothing is being left undone that
will add to the interest and complete success
Of the entertainment. We might here add,
in proof Of the thoroughness with which
this matter is being prosecuted, that the man
ayers have even sent to the eastern cities for
equipments not obtainable here. You
will miss rich treat if you fail to hear the
"Old Folks" sing, and as this is something
entirely new in the exhibition line as far as
this part of the State is concerned, We feel
satisfied that it will draw big house. At
ter the concert, the audience will be invited
to "stay and take tea" 1t is not to be
cold bite, or a lunch, but a regular jani-up
good suppcr,--just as fine as the best cooks
Of Iowa can produce, and to support the
stacks of good things that are to be on hand,
tables of extra strength are being manufac,
tured expressly for the OCCASION. The bill of
fare would be published. we're it not for the
fact that it is so lengthy that no one can find
time to make it out. Tickets to the concert,
25 cents each, or so cents to the concert and
supper. This is very low considering the
character of the entertainment, and many
friends of the Society have thought that at the
above prices the receipts will not cover the
expenses. But it is the intention to place
the entertainment within the reach of ALL
give everybody an opportunity of spending
festive Christmas night, and therefore tn,
bill has been put at as low figures as it pos
Siby could be without cntsiling certain loss
and the managers trust to large attendanc,
10 reimburse them for the heavy OUTLAWS they
will have incurred 1t is expected thai
many of our country friends will be present
and We are authorized to say that pariicula,
attention will bc paid to their convenience
and comfort. There will be ante-roons, dress
ing-roomS, etc. for their special acc onmoda-
ton. Delegations from Waterloo and Other
nrighbuIing towns are also expected, and We
shall be sorely disappointed if we do not have
the pleasure Of meeting many of our non,
resident friends Oh this occasion. Program
mes, tickets. etc, will be issued in a few day s.

tackled the winners with rocks, hut luckily,
or unluckily, as it may be, did no damage.
Ne might go on and elaborate the article by
saying that the sharpers were obliged to leave
town the next morning; and how, as the
connections of the dcluded young men are o
the highest responsibility, the matter is
being huShed up, and that no names will be
mentioned, as they have acknowledged their
folly, and say that they now see the foolish

1T there shall appear to tie danger during the
ensuing session OF Congress of the adoption of
the Presidents compensated emancipation
scheme, no doubt the Legislature of Illinois will
deem it their duty to give expression to the pub
tic sentiment of the State concerning IT, The
fact that the result of the recent election in Mis-
sOur-said to be favorable to the emancipation
scheme-was procured by the Administration at
Washington by such interference in the canvass
as has never before been known on this continent
such interference as wholly nulli6ed the popu-
lar sentiment of the State-ls indicative that the
scheme has not been abandoned, and that il will
be pressed upon Congress with all the power the
Administration can command.
The scheme presents very simple issue to
the people of Illinois and of every other free
State. Ii is whether they will submtto the tax
alton which the scheme involves. IL is whether
they will become the purchasers, for the purpose
of emancipation, of all the slaves in such States
As NAV accept the offer of the scheme Should
only Missouri, Kentucky. Tennessee, Maryland
and Delaware acceId the offer of the scheme, the
taxation which Illinois would have to bear would
be mauy millions of dollars-an amount which,
before the war began, would alone have been
deemed frightful. and which must. il il shall be
undertaken. be added 10 taxation, the magnitude
whereof no man can estimate.
If, we say. the scheme shall be pressed upon
the ensuing session Of Congress- no doubt the
Legislature of Illinois will deem it their duty to
give expression to the public sentiment OF the
State concerning It,

New HamDShire.

Tie Democratic State Convention of New
Hampshire has nominated for Governor Hon
Ira A. EASTMAN The Convention was the
largest ever held in the State. Addresses were
delivered by General GEORGE STARK. the Presi-
dent, ex- Governor STEELE and DR.. BATcHELDER
General STARK made vigorous appeal to the
patriotism of the State, follows:
You have met to take counsel together, and
with unawed courage to inaugurate such meas
ures as shall be calculated to maintain the Con
stitutiOn as il Is, with all the securities for the
citizen, and all the rights guaranteed by it to
States and communities Applause You
have come to reiterate your irrevoca5le purpose
to resist to the last. and to defy potters of trea
son against the sacred bond that binds us
wherever they may be found. You have come
to combine your energies in an earnest struggle
against AbolitiOnism at the North, and rebellion
at the South; TO denounce the schemes of plum
der which, in this hour of national peril, have
oppressed the people and disgraced the land; Ia
denounce officials and contractors who have
beaped heavy burdens upon you, and shame
eSsly defrauded gallant soldiers in the field, that
they might gather up the reward of their infamy
in sudden and i'll gotten wealth. Regardless OF
the shower of Opprcbrious epithets which
these "war men" (who plumber your Treas
ury, but take care To keep ont OF the way
of wars dangers) are ready with corrupt and
hreling press TO heap upon you, you have
come 10 drive them out, it possible, and to put
honest men in their place. You have come to
maintain the Constitution and preserve the Union
and YOU have come with hearts rad hands ready
for any sacrifice which patriotic wisdom may de
mand of YOU for the accomplishment of these
hallowed objects And while, tor the attainment
OF these purposes. we cheerfully "pledge ouI
lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor" nc
heart here quails before threats which contem
plate the eIthrow of the Constitution, and des-
potic invasion of our sacred rights. Whether
such threats assume the form of proclamations
letters de cachet or other symbol Of tyranny and
oppression. they are to be calmly confronted by
the solid and impenetrable wall OF the will OF the
people. Applause.
The great ground swell of patriotic, Constitu
ton revering Union loving sentiment which has
been silently but steadily gaining volume and
strength for months, is to roll on with constantly
increasing power until fanatcism is engulphed
and the old Union is securely mOOred again upon
the firm and only anchorage of the Constitution
the wave which has swept over Indiana, Pennsyl-
vana Illinois, New Jersey and New FORK has
reached us, flashing from its white crest light
and hope, and courage With brave spirit that
holds everything subservent to the Constitution
and the restoration of the Union, let the conser
va,ive men of every party in New Hampshire
unite for the consummation of objects alike dear
to them all.
