The New Bedford Mercury, an influential
paper in New England, is reminded by the
New York Tri5uns's manifesto against the
denomination of Mr.. Lincoln, of the remark
by Theodore Parker-which was too sharp
upon friend to be admitted into the Ameri-
can edition of his.life-that Greeley is not
fit for leader. He is capricious, crotchety,
full Of whims and wrong headed.
The Mercury then adds the following sound
comments upon the general question:
eve do not propose to get into any heat
in reference to the question of the next Pres
idency. The Baltimore Convention, in June
next, will settle who is to be the candidate
of the Union Republican party, and he
will have our cordial support. But we are
very decidedly of the opinion now, that it is
wise to let well enough alone-that as Mr..
Lincoln has been patriotic, honest and faith
full, deserving Of all the plaudit, well done,
good and faithful servant,' it is for the inter-
est of the nation, instead of trying whether
somebody else might not do better, to con-
tinue him in Office. Added to this are other
reasons, of which we may speak hereafter;
but one, conclusive to our minds, is, that the
people, who have no particular axes to grind,
who are not solicitous for new deal of Off
ces, and new distribution of contracts,
prefer Abraham Lincoln as the next candi-
date" L.r a4aje-.e. s

~ 1t is fact much to be regretted that
of three expeditions recently sent into the
enemy's country, one (Gen. Seymour's) has
suffered defeat, another (Gen. Smith's) was
forced to return to Memphis, and the third
Qrom Chattanooga to Tunnel HilD was with
drawn from what is now termed "a recon
noissance in force. Gen. Sherman's sxpedi-
ton has as yet met with no check, but, un-
supported by the others, it is feared it will
not be able to accomplish its purpose. More
men are needed, and concentration Of our
forces must be effected, to secure success.
The scatteration" policy has been tried long
enough. Gen. Seymour's expedition into
Florida was as useless as its failure Was mex
cusable. Let us have an overwhelming army
concentrated at some important point, to deal
vigorous and irresistible blows at the rebel
ion. Then, and then only, may we expect
success and final triumph.

Bees-Early Spring Management.
Great care should be exercised in bringing
bees from their winter quarters, especially if
the repository has been of proper tempera-
ture- about 400 above zero-as in all hives
possessing fertile Queen, plenty of honey
and pollen brood will be extended by this
time beyond their ability to protect in the
open air, if we should have cold, freezing
weather, as is generally the case during the
present month (March). However, if the
repository should be damp after ventilating
as well as may be, and the comb likely to
mould to any considerable extent, it may be
best to place them on theirsummer stands soon
Bees in this latitude, if in good condition,
commence to breed rapidly by the first of
February, and consequently should be sup
piled with water. This in the movable comb
hive is most easily effected by placing piece
Of glass, say 10xl2, about three-e;ghths of
an inch above the frames. 1t may rest on
small sticks. The warm, moist air arising
from the bees will be condensed by the glass,
which will afford sufficiency of water.

Let 1t Pass.

Below will be found joint resolution in
troduced into the General Assembly, on Sat.
,ardsy last, by Senator McJunkin, of .Wssh.
ington county, recommending Congress to
submit to the people an amendment to the
Constitution forever abolishing slavery. Our
readers are aware that Hon. James F. Wilson,
of the First District in this State, has already
brought this important measure before Con.
gress. 1t is fitting, therefore, that our
Legislature should back him up by adopting
the joint resolution presented by Mr.. Nc
Junkin. It covers the whole question in a
few words, and foreshadows the beginning Of
the end. Let it pass without dissenting
voice, except from the half dozen representa-
tives Of the once powerful pro-slavery party
who now have seats in that honorable body.
1t is right and proper that they should groan
over the death Of their idol.
The preamble and resolution, As published
below, were referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations, which, we doubt not, will
soon report them for adoption:
WHEREAS, The Constitution of the United
States does not confer on Congress the power
to abolish and prohibit slavery in the States
Of the Union; SSH
AND WHEREAS, Slavery is incompatible
with Republican Government, and while il
exists in any portion Of our country it must
endanger her peace and prosperity and re.

wThe bill sppropriating one thousand
dollars for survey of the ship canal from
LaSalle to Rock Island, which passed the
Senate on the Sd ult. by a majority Of SO,
was before the House on the 25th, when it
was amended on motion of Mr.. Magill, of
Clinton county, by including survey also of
the upper and lower rapids of the Mississippi.
A motion to pass the bill to third reading
was lost by one vote. It was then recommit.
ted, and will come up again for action. There
Is strong opposition to it in the House, based
partly on local prejudice and partly on be-
lief that it is unconstitutional to appropriate
money for public improvements outside the
State. We trust, however, that the wisdom
Of this measure and the importance of speedy
action will be so apparent that it will not fail
to pass.

A Good APPOINTMENT.

Hon. 9. c. Cole, of Des Moines, has re-
ceived the appointment of Associate Justice
on the Supreme Bench Of this State, in &C.
cordance with an act Of the present General
Assembly creating another Judgeship. Mr..
Cole is 3 clear-headed jurist, and one Of the
best men, legally, socially and politically, in
the State. He was mentioned prominently
in connection with the Judgeship at the con-
vention last summer which nominated Judge
Dillon, and his appointment now will give
general satisfaction throughout the State.
Mr.. Cole was, up to the breaking out Of
the war, prominent and active Democratic
politician, having been twice an unsuccessful
candidate on the ticket Of that party for the
position be now holds. As an effective and
popular stump speaker, he had but few if
any equals in either party. But he was labor
ing in a bad cause, and his labor came to
naught. Since the opening of the rebellion
he has refused to follow his old political asso-
ciates in their sympathy for treason, but has
raised his voice on all proper occasions in
favor of his bleeding country. Thousands Of
well-meaning Democrats have been influenced
to take the right stand by the potency of his
eloquence, and to-day tho loyal people Of
Iowa owe moro to him for the healthy tone
Of public sentiment in this State than to any
other man. We are glad, therefore, that his
patriotic services have been recognized by his
elevation to position which he is so well
qualified to ill. ...

JOHN RUSSELL,
CHARLES PAULK.

tY- The Chicago Tribune sets Fl. Clay
Dean up as follows:
We confess to sort of liking for Henry
Clay dean. Once clergyman, then an abo-
litionist, and now q red -mouthed COpperhead
agitator, the impudence of the man amuses
US. There are degrees of evil as well as
goodness, and it is upon the gigantic noun
tain Of the former that the Very Reverend
Henry Clay dean is rearing his puny ladder
Henry is trying to stem the torrent of Union
sentiment and loyalty which is rolling over
the loyal North, and hop to interpose his
puny arm to stay its resistless progress
Poor tool Puppies have barked at the
moon ere this, and we read of the sanguine
chap who thought to stem Niagara with a
straw. We had seen a ragged urchin,out at
the elbows and knees, and with letter in the
post office, impudent, barefoot, and dirty,
strike his toe against q projecting boulder, and
then turn around and deal the mighty earth
as terrible blows as does the puissant Henry
Clay dean the loyal North, but we never saw
The globe knocked out of balance thereby,
and we don't believe we shall see any more
dreadful results from the efforts Of Henry
Clay dean. No dean, you are on the wrong
track, and although you have the moral aid
and countenancc of that intensely virtuous
and patriotic sheet, the rebel Times, and that
eminently loyal tody, the lnvincible Club,
you had better back down and turn another
double somersault.
Last evening the Reverend" Henry Clay
dean lectured to the members Of the Invinci-
bic Club and such other citizens as chose to
hear him, upon Puritan,sm and the Puritans.
The hail was cleverly filed, and whenever the
speaker uttered sentiment savoring of trea-
son, he was uproarously applauded. 1t is
not our intention to give an outline Of the
speakers remarks, but we will wager a box
Of sar-dsans against the political influence Of
the Rev. dean and that is about its value
that he is lineal descendant of the witch
hanging, Quaker branding New England Pu-
ritan. We beg pardon of our readers for
firing off so big a gun to kill a gopher
Good morning, Mr.. dean.

Why THE DYrNa NEVER WREP.-The rea-
son why the dying never weep is because the
manufactures Of life have stopped forever;
every gland Of the system has ceased its func-
tons. In almost ali diseases the liver is the
first mandatory that stops work; one by
one others follow, and all the fountains Of
life are at length dried up there is no secre-
ton anywhere So the eye in death weeps
not; not that all affection is dead to the
heart, but because there is not tear drop in
it, any more than there is moisture on the lip.

Resolutions of the Republican
State Convention.

SBatC NVAVOMbAVAs
We have already published synopsis o
the proceedings of the Republican State con
yention held at Desmoines on the 22d inst
The following resolutions adopted on the &C
casion are brief but pointed. We comics.
that they suit US to "t."
We the delegates of the Loyal People of the
State of Iowa, assembled for the purpose o.
nominating delegates to the National Conven
ton, deeming this proper occasion to givt
expression to our views of National affairs, d.
resolve:
1st. That we congratulate the country ani
the Government on the glorious and uniform
successes of the National arms for the pas,
year, and the fatteriog prospect of tota
and complete overthrow of the rebellion
during the present year.
I'd. That this Convention fully endorses
the war policy of the National Administration
including the policy looking to the extermin
alton of the institution of Slavery in the re-
bellious States of the Union.
Sd. That we are favorable to an amend
ment of the Constitution of the United States
in the manner pointed cut by that instrument
tOICtCI pIOuIOitAue, oiovV'y ohN
servitude, except for the punishment of crime
throughout all the States and Territories o.
the Union.
4th. That Abraham Lincoln is entitled to
the gratitude of the country for the honesty
and fidelity with which he has discharged bis
high trust as Chief Magistrate of the Nation,
and that he is the first choice of this Conven.
ton as the candidate of the loyal people Of
the Union for President in 1854.
9Th. That we find language entirely mad
equate to express our gratitude to, and admi-
ration of Iowa's brave soldiers. On every
battle field, from Wilson'S Creek to Mission
Ridge, they have crowned their own names
and their State with glory, and now with a
patriotism unparalleled in history, after the
trials and hardships of three years active
service, they are rushing into the ranks to
put the browning glory on their deeds. The
living heroes should, as they will be, the con-
slant object of our esteem and regard and the
memory of those who have gloriously fallen
in defence of liberty will be forever enshrined
in the hearts of the people.
9Th. That our first and earnest efforts are
due and will be given to aid our Governor in
his prompt and patriotic efforts to fill the
ranks of the Iowa Regiments IN the field and
preparing to render tho most efficient aid to
the Government in the coming, and as we
hope and believe, the final campaign of the
