A NOBLE DECLARATIoN.--Am meeting
of the Grinnell association, represent
ing the Congregational churches in the
interior of the State, was held at Ames,
beginning on Thursday, the Goth ult.
The committee appointed to report on
the state of the country, submitted the
following resolutions, which were unan-
imously adopted: H4sst .@as @
Resolved, That the great and radical
doctrines of inalienable rights, of the
brotherhood and equality of man, are
not less important now than when de.
Tended in the field, and that as loyal
and God-fearing citizens 1t is our duty
as firmly and as vigilantly to maintain
them in peace as they have been hero.
ically vindicated i'm war.
RESOLVED, That as justice Is eminent
among the Divine attributes. SO it char.
acterizes all coed government, and tina.
crimes against the nation should moi
go unpublished in the person of the
principal offenders. ta t sofE
Resolved, That we regard the course
of President Johnson as one giving aid
defer a stable and permanent peace, to
excite intestine strife, and to effectually
injure those whose interests lie processes
to regard.
Resolued, That as we have explicit
testimony to the efficacy of prayer, and
gratefully acknowledge Gods help in
the past, we recommend that i'm all
churches continuous and earnest sup
plication be offered to Him in behalf

The Chicago Times asks:

Will Congress continue to exclude
the South from the Union, when the
great popular Northern voice SO loudly
invites her to return to the Union?
To which the Tribune replies:
The Times knows that each and all
of the exStates are organizing their
governments with the utmost celebrity,
and in a few months will be I'm the
Union. 1t knows that Congress desires
them to hurry forward with the work,
and make no delay. 1t knows that two
of those States have already called their
conventions and elected their delegates,
and that all the others will call theirs
within two or three weeks. Congress
cannot assemble before the 2lst of No
vember, and by that time the whole
ten excluded States will have voted for
conventions and elected their delegates.
Is there any Democrat SO ignorant
as not to know these facts? II SO, we
pity his stupidity, and would advise
him to read q Republican paper occa-
sionally, and get posted on current
events.

you who are just resolving to commit

don't do any such thingl for you will

friends, just imagine what pretty pre-

ried inthe MORNING they babe adieu to
loved friends, and fastened off to the
Iowa State Fair, by first train. The
evening twilight appeared just as John

themselves happy honeymoon--the
day was long one to them, and the
hours passed slowly. At Clinton they

A recent number of the Vicksburg
Republican says:
We need not go out of our own
county to find negroes who do not vet
know that they are free. We need not
go far to find where but lately a colored
church was burned, and where the col
ored school teacher was driven off and
the school broke up. Within twenty
miles of this city, threats are made by
the masters to the negroes that III they
attempt toshave church or a school, a
private note will be sent to Tucker
that terror and scourge of the colored
people in this section. War, famine,
nor pestilence strikes such terror into
the negroes as the mention OF Tucker,
and no man in the State is held in high
er esteem by the rebels for his deeds of
blood and robbery of the. negroes. than
this same Tucker. Such is the state of
things as they exist ut present. Should
a convention be defeated, or by some
mischance fall under the control of the
conservatives, It would cast gloom
intensity OF radicalism could not peiie-
trate it. If Northern people have to
suffer the abuse, contumely and depriy-
alton of society and business now, I'M
der the military protection, what would
be their chances if the rebels should
get control of the State ? From infor-
nation in our possession we hesitate
not to say that a northern man could
not live here for single month; and
the negroes would have their rights
curtailed Until they..cnno - ,Rleced in
worse state ofslavery and depkn dehcy
than they were before the war. The
palmiest days of slavery were para
disc to what they would be then.

Railroad Change.
Reported Removal or the Waterloo

When the Cedar Falls and Mime
sofa railroad was CONSTRUCTED to Wa
verify, there was some contest between
Waterloo and Cedar Falls for the east
ern terminus. The ID. & 8. G.. r. r..
Co., having leased the Cedar Valley
road 1t became settled that the decis-
ion in reference to the terminus of the
latter would also be q decision of the
question whether the first division oil
heSicux City road should be at Cedar
Falls. Waterloo was the sueQessful
town, taking the eastern terhfiins Of
the Cedar Valley road xtlie firsf division
of the SieuxN9fB road, and the round
house. Ufsc6hrse the people of Cedar
Falls Mterefscmewhat exercised over
the result and the people of Waterloo
were corrcspondingly istbAant. we
have always considered the matter OF
small importance to the towns of Wa
