tW In justice to Col MERRITT, formerly

Des Moines Daily Statesman, Of which the

planned because the publishing of the laws
is not given to the Des Mones Statesman,
as heretofore has been the case. Ordinarily
we should condemn the policy which would
discriminate between the politics Of the two
political papers published at our State Cap
ital. But when the State central organ OF
the Democratic party will go into the dirty
pool of copperheadism, and use its influence
to obstruct the effort Of our government to
suppress treasonable insurrection, it is
time it should look only to copperheads for
support and countenance. Therefore We
approve Of the action Of the Legislature

The "IMevitable Ne1rO.8

There ar: no sinners so intolerant, We
are assured, as those who have just turned
saints. By parity ofreasoning there can b.
no patriots so patriotic as those who have
just abandoned twenty-five years caree,
of semi-treason. Were we to credit i'm.

the New England fanatics who, in conunc

ma, brought on the civil war we are now
engaged ia. The reverence of these worthy
gentlemen for the laws was characteristic
ally exhibited in the Jerry rescue" and
other openly rotous demonstrations against
the fugitive slave &C, Of Congress. Thei,
loyalty" too, was Significantly shown in
their dedication of John Brown, who only
desired to overthrow, ri ct arn,is, the Fede-
raj Government and put colored friend oi
his in the White House! Yet they now
i:apugn the political faith Of every man
who does not esteem the welfare of the ne.
gro as Of paramount Importance to that OF
the nation. They denounce every man as
"traitor" whose conscience will not pcr.
nit him to elevate the black race to the
political and social level Of the white.
They would cOnsign to Forts Lafayette,
Warren, Delaware, and so on, all who are
not prepared to sacrifice the Union itself, il
necessary, to secure universal cmancpa-
ton. This intensity Of zeal in favor oi
freedom is natural, perhaps, on the part OF
those whose forefathers were amongst the
first to snatch the helpless negro from his
African home and engraft the peculiar in
stitution" upon our tree of liberty. 1t is
the bigotry OF the. present, trying to wipe
out tho wantonness Of the past. But
We who require no such absolution are
not willing to be called TRAITORS because
we love the memory of our country better
than we do that of John Brown. We are
equally indisposed to accept, as the test OF
any mans loyalty, that he must love the
almighty negro" better than himself.
New York has shown her loyalty by send
ing more soldiers to the field, albeit it is a
war Of New England's making, than all The
New England States put together. Now
We submit that this is a better proof Of her
unconditional patriotism than can be found
in the whole political history Of New Eng
land, from the adoption Of the Hartford
Convention to that Of the principle Of the
higher law" i
We repeat what we have often said DO.

Idaho.
The Academy of Sciences, Chicago, in.
vited Mr.. James L. Campbell, All intelligent
western rover, to deliver an address on
Idaho. The Chicago Times Local gives
the following report. We notice the whole
Northwest is in blaze of excitement rela.
tive to the new Territory, and we canno,
cater for public taste better than by re pub
fishing Mr.. Campbel's remarks.
Mr.. Campbell entered at length into q
most graphic description Of the climate and
resources Of the important Territory OF
Idaho, which he describes as being seven
times the size Of the States of New York
or Penn. The country, he said, was in
every respect superior to the Colorado Ter.
ritory the surface Of the country was
beautifully undulating, and watered by riv
ers and springs in abundance. The climate,
except on elevated positions on the Rocky
Mountains, was comparatively equable and
agreeable, the summers were such as were
experienced in Va. and the winters rescm.
bic those of New York.
Speaking Of the mineral capacities OF
the Territory, Mr.. Campbell remarked that
gold was found in great quantities in almost
every part. lie exhibited some specimens
Of gold quartz and sulphur, which he had
collected in the neighborhood Of East Ban.
mock, Virginia City, and other interesting
gold digging localities. Altogether the
space covered by gold fields exceeded the
area of the whole State Of California. Speak.
ing Of the productiveness Of the different
mining districts in the Territory, he gave
the preference to Farbrothers' Gulch,
where single miners had been known to re-
alize as much as eight pounds Of gold per
day. Many Of the miners had migrated
from California, preferring the general yield
Of their operations in Idaho to those Of the
former State. Iron in the greatest abund-
ance, Mr.. c. said, could be found in the
Rocky Mountains, and he suggested the

And the shadow will meet me at last,

Freezing the soul with woe

Veil the closed eyelids rcverontly,
Eyes that have been thy heaven,
Holy with trust and tenderness,
Love to their sight had given.
Seal the pale lips silently
Lips that have clung to thine.
Dewy with loves sweet ccstacy,
Rich with its glowing wine.
Gather the white shroud over 1t,
Mourn for the glory fed

Love, thou art cold and dead!

Freezing the soul with woe--
