Hon. James Harlan.

The rumor set afoat some months
ago, that Hon. James Harlan would
be q candidate for U. s. Senator at the
coming session of our Legislature,
seems to have some foundation. We
take it for granted now that if Mr..
Harlan's friends urge him to be can
didate he will not refuse. This being
the case, it may not be improper to
discuss the question Of his candidacy
in its most important bearings.
Our readers know that we express
ly deny the right Of any man to say
that he has personal claims upon any
public position. The interests Of a
single man should never be taken into
consideration in the choice of public
servant. In matter of so grave inn
portance the people must consider
their own interests, and act with a
view to promote the public welfare.
As journalists we do not support any
man on account of any claim which he
may have ON the people, but on ac-
count of the claim which the people
have on him. Our candidates are in.
variatly those whom we think will

Many young men have fathers that
are well of, and they have no ambition,
and particular prospect. They scorn
trade. A man that is too well-born
for a trade, is very well-born for gal
lows Thousands of parents who by
industry, have gained a position which
enables them to destroy their children,
take the surcst means of accomplish
ing their destruction, by encouraging
them in idlcness, and allowing them to
grow up with a feeling of contempt
for labor. No child ought to be reared
to feel that it is disgraceful to work at
whatever manual labor best suits his
talents, no matter If his father is a
minister, or lawyer, or Senator, or
the President of the United States.
Many young men are looking forward
upon life with the general idea that
they are going to enjoy themselves.
They are provided with all needful
physical comforts, and they mean to
be very happy. They have no trade.
They slight their profession. Their
whole governing principle in life is to
shrink anything like work ; and they
expect to have enjoyment without in
dustry. But no man in this world will
be happy who violates the fundamen-
tai law of industry. You must work
if you are going to be happy man.
| know you think it is hard but if
God had meant that you should be a
butterfly, you would have been born a
butterfly. And as you were not born
moth or q miller, but man, you
must accept the conditions of your
manhood. And if there is one princi-
pie that is more important at the very
threshold of life than another, it is
that man Is born to tcork. At the be-
ginning of the history of the race, it
may have been curse that doomed
man to work but, thank God, it has
been changed to blessing now. And
the baptism of work is a baptism Of
blessing.-H W. Beeeher.

FRIEND HLDRErH Most of the lead
ing traitors in this State are as ripe
for rebellion now as they were FIVE
years ago. Fear alone makes them
appear loyal. This and a few other
States ought to, nay. must, be kept, for
sometime yet under military law.
How is it that not only individuals,
but Republican conventions endorse the
Presidents policy Of reconstruction
Some of our officers have been ap-
pointed as Provost Marshals and Sub
Commissioners Of Freedmen in this
District. One of them writes me, say
ing: Since the organization Of the
Mississippi Legislature great change
for the worse has taken place in the
affairs of the Freedmen. The Presi-
dent having withdrawn all protection
offered to the negro by the Freedmen's
Bureau, the planters, and the whites
generally, in this part of the State,
feel the slackening of the reins, and
are adopting extreme measures to-
ward the Freedmen.
1t seems to be President Johnson's
policy to let the cx-traitors manage
their own affairs in their own peculiar
way. In few days, probably, the
Freedmen's Bureau will be abolished.
Militia companies are now being Or
ganized in every county. The princi-
pal business of these militia men, at
present, seems to be to awe the ne
groes and drive them back to their
former masters. Some young men in
the country make themselves out to be
notorious migger killers, saying they
have already killed several, and that
they intend to kill every damned mig
ger that runs away from his present
master, and all those who have run
away, if they don't soon return, and
especially those who have been to
Provost Marshals with complaints,
&c. Some of these poor Freedmen
are no doubt murdered by those mig
ger Killers" but the civil officers seem

The Canadian government offers as
exchange for the privilege Of selling
their products in our markets, under
the present reciprocity treaty, to en-
large and deepen the Welland and St.
Lawrence canal 80 as to admit vessels
drawing from twelve to fourteen feet
of water, thus securing transportation
from Chicago to the Atlantic, and CIV
ing the same privilege to American as
to Canadian vessels, free Of duty. If
objection is made to this proposition
the Canadian authorities propose that
this object shall be accomplished by
concurrent Legislation between the two

clutches the feather Of the "old gray

best serve the country. In this dis
cussion, therefore, we say nothing of
Mr.. Harlan's claims to the gratitude of
the public for his past services. He
has served his State and the nation
faithfully and well, and deserves hon
or therefor, but he has been we'll paid
for his services, and does not ask any
additional reward. lfit is proper for
him to be candidate for reelection
to the Senate, it is so simply because
he may best serve the people in that
capacity.
And can he best serve the people by
Fresigning his present position end 60
ing into the Senate? That is the
main question. It is important for
the people Of Iowa that they should
be as largely represented at Washing.
ton as is possible. To have q repre-
sentative i'm the Cabinet is an advan-
tage of no small Importance. If Mr..
Harlan goes ont of the Cabinet we
shall inevitably lose our representa-
ton there for his successor will not
be appointed from this State. Numer-
Gus politicians in other States are now
extremely anxious to see Mr.. II. go IT,.
to the Senate, knowing that Iowa will
thereby lose, and some other State
gain member of the Cabinet. Those
qualities which make Mr.. Harlan 80
eminently fit for a place in the Senate
are the very qualities needed in the
Cabinet. His ability, integrity and
wise craftsmanship are positively
needed in the Cabinet counsels, and
his removal would be a loss to the
State and the nation.
Besides, il Mr.. Harlan shall retire
from the Cabinet, the impression will
be made that his radicalism in politics
and morals was SO distasteful to the
President as to necessitatc the change.
This will weaker the Administration,
because it will embolden the enemies
of the country, and be regarded by the
honest masses of the people as an in
dication of unsoundness in high places.
If it is possible for Mr.. Harlan to re-
tain his position in the Cabinet, we feel
quite sure that his friends should not
urge him to accept any other position.
We want and need representation in
every department of the Government.
II in addition to our. present able
delegation in Congress, we can have
influential Senators, and Mr.. Harlan
in the Cabinet, we will have our full
share of influence in the national coun-
ellis. To take Mr. Harlan from the
Cabinet is to throw away a decided
advantage which we now possess.
Such an advantage should never be
voluntarily relinq qnishcd Let us there
fore, If possible, retain it--Dubugse
