IOWA AND THE CANAL PROJECT.
The Davenport Qazette takes us severely
to task for suggesting that it would be for
the interest Of Iowa and other Northwest
ern States to join with Illinois in so repre-
senting the growth Of our commerce to the
Canadian Government, as to induce the
enlargement Of the Wel1and Canal, or the
opening of the Ottawa, or other new routes,
80 as to afford US greatly increased facilities
Of transit to the ocean We are satisfied
that the editor Of TINT excellent journal, by
a more careful study Of the whole subject,
would cordially second a movement which,
If successful, would add at least from twen-
ty to forty per cent. to the value Of the pro-
ducts OF that State, and consequently to the
land: which produces it. Suppose corn
could be shipped from all parts Of Iowa in
bulk to Chicago, and here be poured di-
rectly into the holds Of vessels of thou
sand tons burthcn, for Montreal or Liver
pool, can any man doubt that freights
would be very largely reduced, and the
farmers Of Iowa be enriched in the same
proportion? The customer that in the
end takes our surplus is England, and it
does not make particle Of difference in
principle whether the grain is bought at
the docks Of New York or Chicago; but it
will make vast difference with the amount
Of money that would reach the producers
pocket, if by the proposed enlargement Of
the Canada canals, freights are reduced
thirty per cent, and our foreign custom
ers buy our grain here, only at second
hands from those that raised it. Il, as we
believe will be the sure result Of this move
ment, if successful, TO induce Canada to
enlarge her canals, or to build new ones
Iowa farmers will secure larger market
and greatly increased and remuneratiye
prices for their produce, we can well afford
to bide our time and patiently bear the
gibes Of those who misunderstood our mo.
tiyes OF who may choose maiciously tc
condemn our co3rse

WB VIII give LIE n1aJUfll1e5 III I1C D1sIfICIs,
thus composed, in the Congressional elections

It will thus be seen that with Democratic
vote In 1862 Of 12s, ,1G0 and a Republican vote
Of lis, SIT, the Democrats take Nine Districts
and the Republicans only 7teo. Is this giving
the Republicans fair representation in pro-
portion to their vote? In the Republican
Districts the average majority is over 5000;
in the Democratic Districts the average ma
jority is nearly onc-half less.
In order to show this monster in true de-
formity, VIC hare had maps made Of four Dis
tricts-5th, 9th, 8th and 9th. These are speci-
men bricks Of the whole.
Fifth District
In order to put the two strong Republican
counties Of Wayne and Marion, in the 5th
District, the Copperheatls ave given it the
following shape. 1t is st!::ng oat from the
cast line to beyond the centre Of the State.

This is District, cut out for the gallant
Colfax to try his fortunes in. Commencing
with ST. Joseph it runs three counties south
St. Joeeph, Marshall and Fulton-onc county
broad, and then spreads out five counties
broad from southwest to northeast, making
its shape something like an inverted italic T..
And eec how they have taken out oftheE Eleventh
District the two strong Republican counties
Of Howard and Wabash, to make 1t reliably
Democratic. But II is needless to give particu-
lars further No fair and candid man can mark
ont the Districts without coming to the con-
clusion: that II was the design Of the trainers
Of this appo1tionment bill, without regard to
shape, natural connections, or conyeuiencies,
to 50 furm tic Districts rs to defraud as far rs
possible the Republican party Of ofrcprcsenta-
tion in Congress.

NEW PHASE OF ENGLISH OPINION.
The extent and Importance Of the reyo-
luton in English opinion in relation to the
American contest, wrought By the Presi
dents Proclamation Of Emancipation, is
so apparent that even the Copperheads
must see 1t and accept the rcbuke that it |
implies We have recently had occasion
to notice the effect Of that wise and bcnefi- |
cent measure upon the masses Of the Eng
ish people; and to-day We can point to
recent proceedings in Parliament, to prove
that it has profoundly influenced the men
who mould the opinion Of the ruling
classes. According to the light which VIC
now have, We are safe, We believe, in as
serting that any attempt On the part Of the
British Government to intervene in favor
Of the South, would be the cause Of con-
vulsion that would hurl the Ministry from
power, if it did unseat the Queen herself
The United States, always anxious to
cultivate amicablc relations with the Moth
er Country, will gladly accept the evidences
Of return Of the good feeling On the part
of tue English people, and to show them,
and the rulers who speak for them, that
they are as ready to forget the causes Of
estrangemcnt and i1l-will in the recent past,
as they were to resent the manifestations to
which uLat ill-will gave rise.
Henceforth, unless some event, not now
foreseen-some collision Of armed vessels
ut sea, some imprudencc Of our comman-
oefs N chasing vessels contraband Of war
INTO neutral water, OF, some inexplicablc
iohy on the part Of the rulers of one coun-

land, II not our ally, is not our enemy: and
we hare an ASSURANCE, compared with

lish people for individual freedom of -,

emergency, she should, impened by The
promises that the Proclamation holds out
espouse our cause and make herself the &C
tive opponent Of the schemes that the En-
peror Of France hardly cares to disguise.
The present and the future promise are
due to Nh. Lincoln's act that the Copper
heads so much condemn. We claim tha

than to make Intervention impossible, i

The proper and constitutional time to dis
trict the State, was BY the last Legislature,
But the Republicans had q majority in that
Legislature, and hence the Democrats OPP
posed the re-districtiDg Of the State, and de-
feated the measure By boiling and breaking
the quorum. They refused to come back to
pass the necessary nrFortionmcnt bills, with
out q pledge from tie Republican majority
not to pass the appostionuent bill. They
also refused to meet in speciel session, after
the breaking out Of the rebellion, unless
such pledge was given. They alleged that, as
The number Of Congressman remained the
same, there was no necessity Of re-districting
the State, and that the aprortionment Of 1851
was fair enough, and could not well be bet
tered, and that It ought to remain unchanged;
and they bolted, and It did remain unchanged,
and one Congressional election in the new de-
cade has already been held in accordance
with 1t. But now that the Copperheads have
. majority in the Legislature, they arc going
to make the attempt to force this swihdlc
upon the people Of Indiana. If the Unionists
Of the present Legislature do not prevent
this monster from taking awful shape, By
the same sharp practice which the Democrats
innuguratcd two years ago, the responsibility
Of great wrong will rest upon their shoul:

All, save that loving look,
And be glad if the World would forget me.

Though the cold hand Of Death close above me
Save the single regret,
That of leaving thee, yet
