Very Good Reason why.

Some weeks since Mahony & Co. disposed
of their interest in the Dubuque Herald to
Pat. Robb, Esq =, Of the Sioux City Register.
Immediately the Copperheads Of Dubuque
held council of war, and entered their most
solemn protest against the sale. They de-
clared they had $500 in the concern, volun-
tarily contributed last fall to keep Mahony at
the helm; that Robb was unsound and shaky.
A committee of investigation was appointed,
who reported that they had examined Robb
and although they found him very good
Democrat, he was not adapted to that lati-
tude. They swore that Mahony must remain.
Whereupon Still. Hutchins held a private in
terview with, Mr.. Robb and requested him to
back out.
That our readers may know what sort of a
Democrat Mr.. Robb is we quote from his pa
per of March Dist, as follows:
Let the war be prosecuted with vigor and
energy until those in rebellion become con-
WINGED that their interests will be best promo.
ted by consenting to such honorable terms as
will insure permanent peace, and restore the
Union upon a basis as firm as the everlasting
hills !" ia-
That's just the reason the Copperheads
prefer Mahony to Robb, and why Copper
heads are not Democrats. s...s'.

The World Moves.

And so does the Muscatine Courier. A
proposition to arm the negroes has heretofore
been the signal for that paper to have the
hypo. But reader, only yesterday its hired
correspondent, whose hatred of the negro is
only equaled by the editor of the Courier, is
really exultant over the idea that negroes are
to be armed, and Offered by privates ''whose
hearts are in the work." The Courier cor
respondents having applied for official posi-
tons in negro regiments, it is presumed their
hearts are in the work. What think you Mr..
Cbssisr, is there any reaction going on?-
What think you Of the soldiers opposition to
fighting by the side of Diggers? But what
means it that you who are in the first in
stance opposed to liberating the slaves, and
in the second opposed to arming them, why
is it that you employ correspondents to advo-
cate both measures in your columns? You

NO. No one who objects to the Commuta-

against it. If the act contained no commu-
tation clause, what better would 1t be for the
tspoor man ~ The srich'' would still be able
to pay for substitutes, while the s'poor mara
would find the price running so high that he
would be precluded from the possibility q

WRBsrER's GREAT DIcr1oNARY.-We learn
with much pleasure from the publishers
Messrs G. & G. Merriam, Springfield Mass,
that the new pictorial edition Of s'Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary is having very ex-
tended sale. Every school, every Office, nay
every dwelling, should be provided with it. It
is the standard not only for spelling and def
milton, but also for correct pronunciation.
The amount of general information which is
also condensed within its pages is truly as
tonishing. In the course of q very extensive
professional practice we have frequent neces-
sity to seek out and apply the best technial
terms and descriptions. Webster is our con-
slant recourse, and we never consult him in
vain. 1t is surprising 20 observe how replete
the work is. AS an educational medium it
enjoys very high reputation. For the
schools of New York state no less than ten
thousand copies have been purchased, while
in Massachusetts,, Michigan, New Jersey and
Wisconsin an equal number has been obtained,
or one copy for almost every school. It's
said that more than ten times as many copies
Of Webster are sold as Of any other similar
publication. Scientific american, May, 1852. 3

For the Journal
Grand Council Among the Irish.

, Upton, Iowa, April 2, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR Relative to the Emancipation
Proclamation, Tuesday, March oath, 1853,
Henry Clay Dean, the Iowa pole-cat, held
forth in his usual fowery style, 10 slim but
considerably mixed audience as far as poll
tics are concerned. Among the enlightened
audience might be noticed several prominent
1rishmen who affiliate with the so-called DEM
ocratic party, atlas Copperheads. 81 NV.
Be it noticed that Dean is an aspirant for
Gubernatorial honors. One of his methods
to curry favor and gain the votes of Irishmen
was in this wise: Dean says an Irishman was
never known to sell his vote. To prove his
statement, he related the following; "a Re-
publican running for office in Burlington Of.
fered an Irishman S. for his vote, provided
said Irishman could influence nine others to
vote in his Rep) favor. The Irishman took
the money, called together his friends and
then went on a glorious drunk, and voted the
full Democratic ticket"
Clay Dean pronulgates the idea that to
christianize the negro it was infinitely better
he should be kept in bondage. TO sec him
free, was to knock the prop from under the
system which now makes the white man,
though poor, feel that he has equal rights
with the rich. To sustain him in these senti-

appreciation of the labored effort in behalf of
the Irish, they met, persuant to a notice post
ed up, and adopted the subjoined resolutions.
The meeting was called to order by elect
ing Thos. Mahony, Esq, President, John Co.'S
grove and Patrick Doyle Vice Presidents, and
Edward King Secretary. '
The President stated the object of the
meeting. After few remarks on the slave
ry question by Messrs. John King, Jas. Gill
more and Michael Cartwell, of Upton, and
John Tracy, Of London, committee Of five
was appointed to draft resolutions, of which
the following is copy: ,a ) .f-
Resolved, That the issuing by the Presi-
dent of the Emancipation Proclamation is in
our opinion violation of the Constitution.
Resolusd, That in our opinion the liberia
ton of the negro, asset forth IN the proclama-
ton, will have tendency to materially injun
the labor of the white man by bringing him
on level with the negro.
Resolved, That the Conscript act is unjust,
and injurious to the Democratic party.
Res0lced, That committee of five be APP
pointed to call meetings throughout the coun-
ty for the purpose Of calling out the express
ion Of the citizens of Cedar county, and pre-.
pairing proper papers for signatures request
ing Congress to repeal or modify so much of
the Conscript act as may conflict with the in
terests of the poor man. .
The meeting then adjourned to meet two
