it suits you:
"The boy who wrote to his father re-
questing him to come out west, stating
that mighty mean men get Offices ont
here, must have been resident Of Iowa.
We know that, as general thing it is
considered no sin to swindle the govern
ment in common times. But these are
uncommon times, and the necessity that
honest men should be elected to Office
mist be apparent to every one. Our
people will coon be laboring under q
.:stem Of taxation snch as they have
Lever known before, and it behooves
our State government to cut down its
expenses to the lowest notch. Now,per.
naps, many people imagine that the gov
ernment Of this State is economically
administered, but q greater mistake
could not have been made. 1t is but
abort time since Governor Kirkwooi We
toed bill reducing the salaries of the
State officers. The thing was pretty
we'll CLOSED over, tut there is no use
trying to Disguise the fact that some of
our State officials are determined to
make money, people or no people"
The Journal has been one of your

BLAIR, JR -, TESTIMONY.
II . recent speech in Cougtees, Blair


In . recent speech in Copgress, Blair,
Jr., Of Missouri, slightly astonishes his
friends by imputing the cause Of the
present war to the Republicans. Tbis
NAV be considered hard lick in the
face Of has friends, and doubtless they
vii, not thank him for bis frankness.
He contends that Congress has no power
whatever to NEEDLE with the peculiar
institution 10 procure it, eradication
aaains. the will Of the people immedi.
ate!y interested. he endorses very
heartily, however, the doctrine Of Lin
coin. messsge-that Of friendly CO.
operation between the Federal Govern
ment and the SlaveholdiDg States. lit
il agreeable to the States holding slaves,
It is, 10 his estimation, perfectly proper
for the Government to lend it, assitance
in developing . compensatory emanci-
patton. Otherwise, the matter comes
not within the scope Of Congressional
authority, or interference. And said
M. Blair, II verify believe that If the
Republicans had proclaimed that policy
we should not have had this rebellion"
Whist policy2 Why the policy OF the
golden rnle-the policy mentioned in
the message, Of doing to others as you
would DO done by-of aiding the Bor-
der States to emancipate their slaves if
they desire to do tiff not, to let the
matter drop right there. The President
says il the States do not choose to &C.
eept assistance from the Federal Govern.
ment, there is the end OF 1.-THE Gov
eminent has no right to interfere.
Mr.. Blair takes it upon himself to
state that the policy Of his party was
different from this, but had it not been
20 the ret ellion would not have taken
rl,ce. Ho thinks that tho party should
10 it yet, and save much blood and car
mage. His words have met with silent
contempt, SO far, on the Republican side.
