Iowa.

We have received the resolutions the re-
cent Democratic Convention held at Des
11oiIes. As we expected, from the character
Of the committee appointed to draft them
the infamous Mahoney being one-the resolu-
tioEs are secesh, Vallandigham sort, the first
one Of the ten resolutions is deyoted to the
denunciation-mildly drawn-of those in arms
against the government, while the balance are
devoted to the abuse Of the administration
and the people who are endeayoriug to uphold
the government and put down the rebellion.
The president who recommended, and that
portion Of Congress who voted for the plan Of
compensated emancipation recommended to
the slave States, are denounced as 'sAboli-
tioniste," and are put upon the same plane OF
outlines as the secessionists The arrest aud
imprisonment OF such traitors as Brigndier
General George Wallace Jones, Is declared to
be "most dangerous to civil liberty, and
should be resisted at the bsllot-bo1 by every
freeman Of the land." The federal govern
| ment is characterized as the especial posses
zion and exclusive property Of white men, ant
that policy which Tonld seek to nberats
slaves Is denounced as crime! The resolu
tions further declare that the purchase 0
slaves. as proposed by the president In orde
to hasten peace, would impose "an onerou
and unendu7u5e burden upon the present gen
eratlon," ard that the passage Of the tariff ant
tax bills has imposed "unfafr and unjust enact
| ments upon the people at largel"

NOW YOC SEEIE, NOW YOU DON'T.
Men never know what hey are about
The best Of us may think he is doing one
thing, and find ut last that he has been do
ipg another. What was designed for good,
often proves most fruitful Of evil; while
evil is oyerru1ed for the good Of man and
the praise Of Heaven. Man proposes, but
God disposes. We are but feathers Oh the
ocean Of infinite wisdom, and all our rea-
sons but dust in the balance Of eternal JUS
tice. It's our poor condition, humb1ing
enough to our pride, but which we should
devouily trust is ordained in love, never to
be sure that We know anything; and
never to zee clearly, after all our efforts,
What We have done, OF whether indeed, We
have done anything.
This great truth, which every mans daily
experience will confirm, finds remarkable
and startling proof and illustration, in the
history Of the Constitution. We all have
heard what were the Intentions and expec-
tatiors Of The makers Of that great instru-
ment, The objects they hoped to accom-
plish, and the grand, just and invaluable
purposes and blessings they sought and Ia
bored to secure and pcrpetuate By that
Constitution, are known to all. They have
proclaimed them, and written them boldly
on the very front Of the instrument, K
be Union and Liberty. Doubtless sucf
was their intention and hope, ant
it 1as was to secure these blessings to them
selves and their posterity- that they wen
through the suffer-. gs and fire Of the seve,
years war Of The Revolutisn; and afte1
wards in solemn council, deTouty beseech
ing oiyine wisdom and guidance, with 81
their best foresight and profoundest judg
ment, framed together the great provision
Of the Constitution They thought the
had made liberty. safe, and had perpetuate
the Union, and when the work was finishe
they asked the p ople to accept and ratii
it; and that people, iadu1giug in tue sau
belief and animated BY she.same hope, d,
then adopt and establish it. But it seen
in the new light which The Dred Scott i
te1p1eteB of the CONSTITUTION hare throw
upon it, that both the makers Of the instr
ment and the people who adopted
were all equally mistaken. According
them, so far from securing the blet
ing Of the Union, it is in fact t
great defense and best support Of tho
who Lift asmed, hands against t
Union; its provisions are the perpetu
defenders and r,vrtar4,,. -

THE PROHLEm,

There are engaged in the war 20, 100000
of loyal people against 100000 Of foes,
who consist of 100000 whites and 4,ooo,-
600 of blacks. The rebels, fighting at
home, have an advantage that countervails
the disparity of numbers. The adult rebel
whites can all go to the army, because the
blacks support their families and furnish
them 1ations. But these blacks are loyal
and want to help US. But mean, blind,
suicidal prejudice refuses them the priv:-

Good Hotels.

~~oOA e2"sSASs
We speak well Of good doctors, able
lawyers, profound d;vines, honest politi
clans Scarce we ADMIT and successful,
generals; why is it not equally our duty to
speak we'll of other good things when We
find them, and what is there in the whole
range Of public interest that is so crcdta-
BILE to the getter-up, Of such value to t: G
man abroad, as a good hotel. We are
all obliged to leave home occasionally how
gratefully we thank Providence for a good
house to stay at. We saw recently, in
some journal, notice of several hotels in
western cities. Knowing the writer to be
correct in too Of them, we want space to
second his effort to guide the traveller to
places Of rest.
The Newhall, our observer sets up in
terms less laudatory than it merits, but
this was fer the reason that it is the only
actual No. One house in Milwaukee. Aus.
tin, the former very popular clerk, has gone
to the war, but Wheelock is Still left and
several others whose names We forget now.
Those who stop there will have as complete
home as they can find outside their own
thresholds. All visitors to Milwaukee mus
60 to the Newhall to see the 'arriyals,"
learn the news Of the day, get acquainted
with the business operators and politicians
of the city and state, and post up general
ly: hence it is better to go there at once
and put with good treatment and reasona-
BILE bills, than to hunt up some out-ofthe-
way hotel and then travel round to the
Newhall to ascertain what is going on in
the world. Let all Iowa men try this place
and no other house will be inquired for in
the Brick city.
So, too, of the Briggs" in Chicago
The traveller aforesaid, whose hotel expe-
rience we have noticed, says "for like
comforts ard careful regard for the con-
venicnce Of visitors. the Briggs is unsur-
passed." This everybody knows who ever
ate 1t French's tables, or slept in w. F.
Tucker & Co.'S rooms. Chicago is famous
for the number Of its excellent hotels, and
it may seem invidious to single out one for
extra commentator, but who that has
witnessed the kind attention and the sole.
itude which Burnham, Willard and Went.
worth exhibit towards their guests can
avoid saying good words for a House where
such men have the command. 81.
The publication in the morning papers
of the names Of guests tells your city and
your travelling friends where you are, and
this often leads to business and social re-
unions Of most agreeable character. Iowa
men always meet acquaintances at this
house. You may find places with more
starch and less steak, more talk and less
turkey, but you can stop at no first class
hotel on this continent that will surpass
the Briggs in all the essential elements of a
home. 4f.- r.
