The Bulletin has been clamoring for free
democracy; in fact that was its hobby until
the womens rights question came up. II
also advocates military despoiism in the
South. Will the Bulletin please inform the
public upon what principle Of philosophy or
justice or consistency, il advocates the mill
tary despotism in the Southern States, and
Of the same time sticklss for free democracy
When this question is answered We will put
another Conservative.
While We have the power 10 guide pen.
we shall "elamorr for free democracy. That
has been, is, and will be, the grand hobby Of
all Who truly hate despotism and slavery, and
advocate justice and equality in human gov
eminent. The "woman's rights question :"
is an integral and vastly important part Of
free democracy. Dare even the Con.erra-
tire now boldly oppose il? But we do not,
Ike the Copperhead press, clamor for that
mock democracy, that burlesque upon all gov
ernment, which grants to the perured trai>
tor the exercise Of the same natural rights
and privileges as to the law abiding citizen
which s;rangles and murders fidelity and
loyalty while it offers premium to violence
and treason-which seeks to exalt Mayor
Aouroe, and to abuse . Sheridan--which
countenances the persecution, inpoyerish
mens and muriler Of loyal Southerners, black
and white, and frowns upon every attempt
to provide for their security. We believe,
as..do such prominent rebels as Wade Hamp-
ton, Gen. Beauregard and Gov. Brown, Of
Georgia, that whea the traitors the South
chose the arbitrament Of the sword, they for
flied all their rights ~ citizens under the
constitution, and not, As doeth miserable
spologisers of these men At the North, that
their treachery rather added laural wreath
to their cbivalric glory, and made them gods
whom it were IN honor for loyal men to wcr
ship. The only despotism in the South is tho
wandering ghost Of slavery, which persecutes
and murders loyal men and women, and
whose apologists are not so much among
those Southern traitors vi o had the courage
to 6ght for their treason, as among the Cops
perhsad sneaks Of the North who employed
the artful dodge Of opposing the war for our
country salvation, as screen for their cow
srdice. What copperheads term democracy
in the South, is simply, death to loyalty,
while the 30 called military despotism is se>
curly in life and property to al law abiding
citizens Of Whatever race or sex.

GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

The two great events Of the week are the
settlement Of the Luxembourg difficulty,
at least for the present, and the arraignment
and the release ON bail, OF JEFF Davis. The
conference of the great powers of Earopc
tween Prussia and France. The fortress Of
Luxembourg is 10 be abandoned and RACED
to the ground. The bone of contention will
thus be destroyed and both powers save their
honor il not their pride. There is no other
foreign news Of very great importance, if We
except the fact that the Great Eastern has
been found so great an e.cnhan; that her
crew has attached her for debt:-the great
enterprise thus proves great failure.
JEFF. is again the central figure in the news
dispatches. He left Fortress Monroe. on
SATURDAY, the 18th inst, under escort OF
Gen. Burton and arrived at Richmond the
same day. No demonstration was made at
Richmond. The prisoner was assigned ele-
CANT rooms atthe fashionable hotel, no guard
being placed near his person. On Monday he
was brought before Judge Underwood, and
upon the charge of treason, released upon
bail in the sum of 100000. This result was
doubtless brought about BY the influence of
Mr.. Greeley upon Judge Underwood. who
had previously declared his determination
not to admit bail. jeff. Davis bond was
signed in part as follows: Davis, Horace
Greeley, O'Conner, Schell. John Miner Bolts
&c. Garrett Smith has since signed the
bond. at the conclusion Of the proceedings,
JEFF. Davis andsHorace Greeley were both
heartily cheered by the crowd. JEFF. is now
on visit to Canada, where his children are
being educated. He declsrs it to be his in
tension to remain as quite as possible until
his trial, which is expected will take place
the last ofJune.
The steamer Lansing blew up at Hamp
ton, on the Mississippi River, on the 18th
inst. Several persons were killed and wound
ed. Among the former. Henry Curtiss, a
prominent merchant Of Dubuque.
The Steamer Julia was sunk on Friday, in
the Minnesota River, Maukaio. She will
prove . total loss.
The Soldiers Orphans Home Of Illinois,
has been located at Normal.
Gov. Wright, U. S. minister to Burlin, died
on Saturday last, Of dropsy.
The injunction cases, in the L. S. Sa>
preme Court, designed to prevent the execu-
ton Of the reconstruction set, will be dis
missed. Thus is the last rebel dodge de-
fcated.

Association OF Western Literary So.
Cieties.

Most Of the lectures delivered at the West,
during the winter Just passed, were under
the auspices Of the Association above
named, which comprises nearly one hans
dred societies. A pro rata amount was last
year paid to Edwin Lee Brown, Esq, of
Chicago, the Cor. Secretary, TO meet the
expenses incident to large correspondence
and the Difficult, task Of engaging lecturers,
and properly assigning their routes. Mr.
Brown performed Bis duties to very general
acceptance, hu, at the loss of his time. He
some time since put forth circular in
which he proposed u large increase Of re
Enumeration to himself, subject to the decis-
ion Of the societies at their annual meeting.
This meeting was held in Chicago on the
sth inst, and attended by delegates from
thirty eight societies. The societies Of the
following towns in Iowa, we.e represented
Dubuque, Cedar Falls, Clinton, Iowa City.
Davenport, and Cedar Rapids. Indepen-
dence was not represented. on account of
the expense of sending delegate. From
the nature of the proceedings, We judge
that Mr.. Browns propositions were NO; ia
vorably considered. Mr.. q. L. Torbert, Of
Dubuque. was elected Secretary fer the en-
suing year, to succeed Mr.. Brown, who was
inclined to contest the legality Of the pro-
ceedure. but finally gave up the books aud
papers in his possession. The Association
adopted constitution, and elected the fol
lowing officers: Pres, c. j. johnson, Of
Morrison, H.; Vice Pres, Peter Young, Of
Detroit. Mich; Treas, L. R. Durant, of
Milwaukee, Wis; Sec, G. L. Torbert, Of
Dubuque, Iowa; Executive Committee, J.
G. Deyoe, H.; III. Wilmington, Mich.
A. A. Starr, Ind; ]. h. Hamilton, Wis.
B. F. Guyton, Chicago.
Through the Association, as now organ
lied, ii is hoped that the very best lecturers
in the country will be secured By the west
srn societies, at reasonable expense, for the
coming season.
Common schools, newspapers and the ros-
tram, are the great progressive engines of
enlightenment, and liberty in America. The
influence Of the latter is becoming more and
more generally recognized so that to be with
out lecture course is considered reproach
to any progressive town Of the West.

THE REAL CRIMINAL.

The Democratic journal down street is in
nocent enough to suppose it has "knoeked
ont the props" of our argument with refer
snce TO licensing crime, by asserting that the
drinker, and not the seller of intoxicating
liquors, is the true criminal. In other
words, il is no crime for men TO sell subtle
poison. to the vast injury Of The body polite,
but heinous offense for the weak victim to
yild to facination which it is next to i'm
possible for him to resist. This is the true
spirit of the bogus Democracy. Grind down
and damn the poor sufferer who has been
unfortunate enough to yield to the wiles Of
king Alcohol but laud and screen the mis-
cradle b!ood>suckers who have tempted,
deeced and ruined him. The Conservative
can have the consolation Of knowing that the
laws oil our State, public opinion, justice and
common sense, make liquor selling IS bev-
erags, cRrxs, punishable as such. In that
il 10 the author Of three>fourths Of all crime,
It is in fact the most heinous Of crimes, and
ought 70 be 50 dealt with BY law. The seller not
. criminal What would be thought of the
man, who, having in his possession charming
serpent, should expose it on the street, SO
that whatever pAsser-by might by evil fortune
catch its eve would Inevitably yield to the fas-
cination and be drawn on TO destruction?
Would be not quickly call down upon him
SELF the public vengeance? Would be not be
regarded as one Of the blacklist Of crimi>
malls ? Would not the man who should de-
nounce his victims as the true criminals be
declared either fool or . rascal? The SER
pent Of the Still has fascination SO subtle,
charm SO alluring, that he is strong man
Who never yields to its influence. And be
who curses society BY letting loose this ser
pent in its midst, is among the worst of crimi-
mails, and should have melted out 10 him the
severest punishment.

Among the many names prominently
urged for the ONCE Of Supreme Judge, that
Of Judge VIM. II. Sewers, of Oskalooss,
seems to command thus far the most con-
alteration. Many Of the other candidates
named are veil qualified for the position,
but the drift of popular favor seems to lie in
the direction indicated. Judge Sewers is

ExLAReED.-The Franklin Reporter, pub
lished at Hampton, Franklin County, by J..
Cheston Whitney, with the commencement
OF its second year, comes 10 US enlarged to
q seven column sheet. The Reporter has
always presented choice variety Of origi-
nal aud selected matter to its readers, and de.
serves the best possible patronage as re-
ward for its enterprise. We think, however,
brother Whitney does wrong in maintaining
rc:icence upon politics, especially as the
great political questions now being discuss
ed throughout the length and breadth Of
our land, involve the most serious interests
Of the people everywhere. The newspaper
even though it is but country newspaper
which refuses to take positive ground up
on the great current questions Of democra-
cy, fails utterly to GIL its mission in the
great work Of progress. Il has been assert
ed BY the best informed politicians, that the
country press does more than all other
Influences combined, to mould public opin>
ion. The importance Of its speaking bold
y, radically and independently upon all
great questions, is then, the more readily
realized. Do not hide your light under
,ushel, brother Whitney.
