Having through the most unmitiga'ed vii
Isny enriched themselves and their parasites,
they do not srrupIs to declare their will the
supreme law, and finding their party follow
ers blind to their usurpations. they have
gone on step by step 10 undermine the

Illuminated themselves these petty legislative

that here it would be done Ivy white men.
Mons.rous as the outrage is to the people OF
those States. it is no. less an outrage sgainet

and are mostly run BY negroes, and shall
they be permitted 10 hold the balance be.

Of the North with the negroes Of the South,

Des Moines Horse Fair.

The 9th Exhibition of the "Central

closed on last Saturday evening.
Wednesday, and Thursday, the
weather was extremely wet and bad,
but Friday, and Saturday, it cleared
up finely, making the exhibition un-
der all the circumstances, q success.
full affair.
AS usual with all exhibitions in
this part Of Iowa, the contestants
on fine horse flesh were confined al.
most exclusively to Des Moines, and
Ottumwa. Had it not been for the
great number Of good equines in the
various grades, shown by these two
places, the Fair would have been vo.
ted an entire failure.
Wear glad to congratulate the
Des Moiners on having made on this
occasion, better showing than ever
before and in dividing the honors with
jttumwa much more equally than
usual.
