4 REVIEW OF THREE YEARS.

Three years ago this Spring WI
isounted the editorial tripod in tiIis vi
ciuity, aud we have spent the time
since in doing battle on the civil arena
for the conquest of just Peace, md
the right Reconstruction Of our Amer.
Jean Union. They have been wonder.
ful years, the three years Of all our his.
tory which have witnessed the initiated
and completed downfall of Rebellion
and Slavery, with all their concomi.
tant denominations, and the uprising
and browning of Impartial Suffrage
and Equal Rights in all our wide do
main. What momentous issues to
arise and come to contamination, all
il the lapse of three. short years!
Three years ago, our country was in
the darkest of its bloody hours, with
treason rampant and defiant, and the
future looking omenous and gloomy.
The Emancipation Proclamation had
been issued, but its success had not
been ensured. The = orth was agitating
the great question, who shall succeed
Abraham Lincoln ca President. A
bold and noisy faction cried aloud for
Mcclellan and ali ignoble peace. The
war was pronounced by many fail
ure; and in the acknowledgements Of the
hour, 1t looked as though State Rights,
and Slave Driving, and Southern Seces-
sion might carry the day, and set up
their adominable empire ell over this
fair land.
In those sad dreary hours, we left
other labors to enlist i'm this great
struggle,-to WELD our pen for LIN
COLIN and LIBERTY, GoD and the
RIGHT. We have fought it out Oh that
line, till We find not only cur Country
triumphant, but q just Reconstruction
established, and Freedom and Equality
inaugurated for all coming time. LIN
COLIN have we loved, but johnson have
We despised. We have lived to see the
one canonized with Washington as the
guiding star of our happy future,-the
other crushed under the heel of a
''-' . ''iShaeipii, poOT Iiinccile
unable to move a finger, and waiting
emily his deeper doom of infamy. A
nation has been born in ay,--born
into the new light and glory OF COM
ing Millennium.
Old issues are settled; new questions
now come forward, calling for new in
SEPARATION, and bidding every one be at
his allotted post. Slavery-opposition
wasa giant of wrong, whose carcase
now lies rotting before the nations;
but Poverty-oppression is a twin mon
ster of iniquity, whose lips must next
be made to bite the dust. The State
has been purged of her filth; the
Church must now be lifted out OF the
miro. Republican manhood has been
vindicated: Christian brotherhood
must proceed to rs sert its claims. Most
gloriously has Providence displayed the
onward march of Righteousness, and
encouraged our tagging feet to press on.
Glimmering on the hill-tops we see the
coming day. Up and be doing, We
hosts of the Anointed; for the JUBILEE

Washington, that tho demonstration
made by the Legislature of Virginia in
favor OF framing Constitution as re-
quired by law promptly and iii good
faith, Is having the most salutary effect
In softening the asperity Of prevailing
opinions.and changing the tone of sen
iment toward the people of the State,
and the desire expressed was that we
should at oiice comply with the condi-
tons imposed, and thus DO restored to
our rights in the Union, with represent
tatives in Congress.

From the Dubuque Herald.
IOWA NEwsPAPEus.


A paragraph is going the rounds of
| the newspapers that Iowa has eighty
| five republican newspapers, twenty
democratic, one literary, one education.
al, one agricultural, and twelve dailies,
in all one hundred and twenty, or one
for every six thousand inhabitants.
This does not give complete account
Of Iowa journalism. There is some.
thing more to be considered than the
number OF newspapers to form correct
idea Of their Importance. So far rs
numbers are concerned Iowa ranks in
journalism with the best OF her sister
states. A comparison of the character
of her newspapers with that of those in
other states is still more favorable to
Iowa. We do net speak of their poll
ties. Politics have nothing to do with
! the value of local journalism. and Iowa
editors are recognizing this fact. The
papers of our state are emphatically
| newspapers. We look over our state
exchanges and find accurate and COM
plete records of the current events Of
the localities represented by them. In
their conduct they are enterprising,
with generous rivalry, and in mechani-
! cal execution are nowhere surpassed
| We believe that the press of Iowa has
enterprise for the development of the
resources Of the state than any other,
aud We may safely say all other agen-
| cies. .... ....
| As may naturally be inferred, the
press of Iowa receives liberal support
| from the people, demonstrating an ap-
| probation of its value. Villages of
from one to two thousand inhabitants
have their thriving NEWSPAPERS to
compare favorably with those of cities
or from five to ten thousand
! inhabitants in the older States.
Towns like Independence, Waterloo,
Cedar Falls, with from three to four
thousand inhabitants, or Iowa Falls
and Charles City, with smaller popu-
ilation, have weekly newspapers which
in editorial ability, enterprise and me-
chanical execution may be compared
with the best newspapers of the cuun-
try, outside our large cities, and gain
Iby the comparison. And we mention
these at random from among all the
newspapers OF Iowa. Any Others
might be named with equal safety in a
comparison.
The great preponderance of republic
can newspapers in the state suggests
another fact. 1t may be that steady
lnaiorities in favor Of any party are
favorable To the establishment of news
paper organs of that party, but we
think even more the fact that first
class republican newspapers have, in
the largest degree, created the over
whelming republican majoritics in this
state. We would not complain that
this is so. 1t should be so, and opposed
to the majority in politics we find graft
fication in the fact that journalism has
its just influence. We may suggest,
however, that if opposing policies are
to be brought to popular favor their
claims must be shown to be just by
we'll sustained press.
Iowa may well be proud of the num-
Der and character of her newspapers.
They are her strongest claim to front
rank in the intelligence of the Ameri-
can people.

What Englsnd THINKS OF American
Finances.
From the London Times.

At first sight, nothing is more strik-
ing than the condition OF the American
finances. We are astonished at the
spectacle of great self-governed nation
undergoing, apparently without MUIR
muir or remonsriance, load of taxa
ton which is without parallel in his
tory. Not only is the actual amount of
revenue raised for national purposes in
the United States greater than has ever
tean raised elsewhere; but it is Furnish
ed by system of imposts OF the most
CALLING and extravagant nature. The
lntricncy and minuteness of our own
financial system in our worst DAYS are
simple compared with those of the I'm
ion. The exercise Of every trade is fet-
tered by its peculiar burden; every set
of sale is made the occasion of Lowing
q tribute to the Treasury. The total
revenue thus acquired is far in excess

On the contrary, we have the follow.
Ing less agreeable intelligence from an
other quarter:
The Times Georgia correspondent
says, the efforts which were made in
Georgia to arouse the people to the duty
and necessity of taking an active part
in recognizing the State government
under the bill of Congress met with
little response. The people do not like
the terms imposed upon them, and they
are therefore disinclined to take any
part in action under them. He also
speaks of the presence in Augusta and
elsewhere of professional agitators, who
are doing everything In their power to
arouse the prejudices of race and color,
and to array the blacks against the
whites.
