by using Smiths Saleratus. 1t will rise
upon its merit, while it is the meanest gos-
sip to suppose that you can make good
bread by using any other.
If your grocer does not keep Smiths
Saleratus, it is for the reason that he can
make more money by buying an inferior

but the best.
This Saleratus is one third stronger than
any other sold in market.

Senator Norton, of Indiana, advocat-
ing the postponement of payment of
the national debt, says !: " The country
has not yet recovered from the war
Trade and commerce still languish thro'-
out the land. Nine states are disorgan-
lied and desolate, and can scarce pay
anything for years to come. The rebel
liOus south caused the debt to he created;
but whatever is paid within the next
five or six years must come almost entire
ly from the north.n
This is true but whose is the fault of
this crippled condition of the country p
The production of the north is as great
now as ever it was but it is partially ex-
cluded from trade with other nations by a
ruinous tariff. and with the southern states
by their poverty, resulting in great part
from their unsettled political condition.
Had they been admitted to the union, and
been permitted to 90 forward to repair the
ravages of the war, with an assurance of
stable government, their recuperative pow
ers would have enabled them before this
time to have recovered in great degree
from the exhaustion of the war. Instead
of this, the infamous tyranny under which
they now groan has been fastened on them
to the end that they might be brought I'M

been given the right to vote there. The
statement of Morton is an indictment of
the radical party, and the people will try
it on the Indictment, and convict and sei.-
tence. Morton virtually confesses that the
tax payers of the north are now sweating
under political misrule.

A correspondent Of the Dubuque Times,
writing from Ackley, furnishes the follow
ing paragraph which will be of local inter-
est here
The Ackley and Eldora railroad is being
pushed forward to completion very rapid
~ by Judge Williams, the energetic and
indomitable contra tor, and patentee of the
celebrated "Excavator' machine. This
machine, familiarity known here as the
'Excavator' is the wonderful invention Of
the day, and in its results, is bound to rev.
olutionize the mode of building railroads
on the prairies of the west. The applica-
ton of this machine for raising, carrying,
and depositing dirt; the ease and regulari-
ty with which it does it, would appear to
the looker-on, as the ultima thule of human
ingenuity, genius and skill. With four
horses, and two men, an !Excavator" will
easily move and pack two hundred cubic
yards daily. The simplicity and ease with
which this is done, is perfectly astonish-
ing. Every township in Iowa ought to
own one of these machines for the purpose
of making, grading and perfecting the net
| work of roads. The cost of the machine,
We are assured, would not exceed $500,
and as they are of mammoth construction,
! there would be no end to the service they
would do. Legislation may be necessary
before the advantages of this labor saving
machine can benefit the public. We un-
derstand that one of these machines will
be on exhibition at the next annual meet
ing of the State Agricultural Society at
d.-Cle,mont Leader. 't

Mexico and Our Government Policy.

We give additional news to-day about |
the trial of Maximiian Justice, rigid and !
impartial justice, not done to him. |
Mexico has lost much il. the mode of
his trial; for however well the nation was
convinced of his guilt we are astonished
that the republic should have so far forgotten
itself as to have placed him on trial before a
lieutenant colonel and several subordinate
officers. Justice demanded court martial
headed by major general, with geaerals at
the board. Lieutenant Colonel PlGton Sam
chez about thirty-five years of age, was, how
ever one of the few officers of tie Mcxi.an
regular army in the liberal service, and re-
ceived dne education al the military school
in the city Of Mexico. His appointment TO
the presidency of the court was iaade by Esco-
bedo, whose malignant despoti, and unprin-
cipled character cannot he % highly con-
damned; for he is the great blot upon the

cannot forget that, under the shadow Of a
civilization which France pretended to confer,
were committed, upon Mexican soil, some OF
the most borrid slaughters that stain the History
OF the times. In condemnng Mexico we
equally condemn those who, Boosting a grea ter
advancement, set her such bloody exampl e.
1t is time that this inhuman cruelty that blots
the history of the Latin race were laid aside; for
they are entitled to no claim to civilization if
they write the record of their progress with
blood Mexico or France, France or Mexico,
is equally culpable
There is much work before the Mexican
statesmen, and we may expect some local
turmoil before the liberal elements which have
for fifty years been hammering at retrogrsde
ideas settle into quiet. We wish to give them
fair play, however; to assist them in the march
of peace; to aid them with our more practised
theories Of self-government; to throw into their
country some Of the cosmopolitan bone and
sinew that will set their wonderful natural
resources In action; to show to them the
policy Of opening wide their doors to the same
broad liberalism that we show towards the
of Europe to advise them to Law
aside that jealousy of the foreign element that
has besn taught them by exclusive Spain, AMI
learn that nation, TO be great in this age,
must proclaim to The world THAT its lands, it's
resources, it's political privileges, belong to
every man who will come and partake of tn m.
Under this broad policy Mexico may undertake
rapid mach towards brilliant future.
