The CONSTITUTION AS 1T Is.-There are a
class Of men in this country whoIhave given
the most positive evidences of living
patriotism, yet who have been dcrided by
another large class for advocating support of
the "Consti:ution as it is" Foremost in
this class of deriders must be named the
New York Tribune, and its smaller imita-
tors. 1t gives us pleasure, however, to
observe that the Tribune is becoming an.
parently more loyal; at least the following
extract indicates that, in spite of all it has
sneeringly thrown at those who support
the "Constitution as it is" it now takes it
all back:
'The obvious basis Of an adjustment is
tile constitution the United States, uithout

Base Treason.
Read the following extract from an arti-
Gle in the North Vest Democrat, published
at Cedar Falls;
"The south is engaged in an earnest
struggle for independence. The avowed
object Of the leaders, and the end for which
thetpeople labor is to throw off the old Gov
eminent with its burdens, and to establish
4 new one, better calculated in every re-
spect to advance the interests Of the South.
They are fighting for their homes, institu-
tons, and their liberty, and it is useless,
nay folly, to longer disguise the fact that
they are terribly in earnest, death will be
welcomed by them rather than submit to
subjugation. We must honor them for
their zeal and courage. Were they willing
to submit pcaceably to the tyranny nhich
It's proposed to establish ouer them, they
would be lost to their manhood and the
spirit that animated their sires."
We commend this spouter for the ac-
cursed rebellion, to a speedy trial on the
charge Of treason. His utteranccs are q
calumny upon the loyal people Of this state.
His defense Of the rebellion entities him
justly to confscation and imprisonment
We are earnest advocates Of the freedom of
the press but net that freedom Of the press
which aims at the overthrow of a constitu.
tional Government by reasonable appeals
over to the notice of the federal authorities.

FLOWING MATCH.
Best Flowing, Edwin Sherman,

The second annual exhibition of the
Clay ton Co. Agricultural Society was held
at National this year and only for one day.
The first day it was to have been held was
rainy, as we're the days preceding that, for
which reason the preparations were not as
complete as was intended, neither was the
candy man there, as was expected, and
many persons from distance were pre-
vented from coming as they doubtless in.
tended to do. Yet, under the circumstan
ces, the fair was q success and was we'll
attended.
Filty-one different persons made entries,
many Of them entering several articles
each. The day passed pleasantly and peo-
pie seemed generally well satisfied.
Cash sufficient to pay all premiums.
About fifty members have not paid in
their yearly dues they are requested to
fOl ward the same to me as soon as they
have opportunity. We want the money to
pay on the fair ground, and to buy lumber
to fence the same. We also wish to be
able to report to the State as much paid in
as possible by November next, in order to
draw like sum from the State.
Will delinquent members make note Of
this, and also recollect that they are legally
held responsible for their dues. If all do
their duty in this respect the society will
be able to fence and pay for their grounds,
and also erect suitable building thereon
before another fair. N. Hamilton.

holding our armies in check, has driven ona d.

this foul conspiracy against cur government, and
having be en- lately SO signally blessed in our la
bors, we mus. meet these new efforts of the enemy
with corresponding force. The valor and patriot

fail.
