LEcTUREs.-Rev. r. w. keeler d. D.
of Cedar Falls, Iowa, delivered two
lectures at York and Inland on the 18th
and 18th ult.; the one OH Marriage
Divorce the other on Woman's Rights
and su tfrage. All who heard him tes
tify to the excellence of his lectures.
He has thoroughly mastered his sub
jects, and his lectures show q depth of
research worthy of their dignity and
importance. He handled phases of the
subjects Of great delicacy to be brought
before popular assembly with an ease
grace and purity Of language, that could
not be objected to by the manifestations.
His premises were laid down confident
ly, and sustained by arguments that
carried his conclusions with ire
sistible force. While his lectures con-
tain pleasantly enough to give them
spice, he does not seek to create laugh
but to reach the people and inform them
of the danger which threatens our social
relations. He regards the family as
the basis of our government, and the
forces that disintegrate the family
structure will eventually ruin the Re-
public. He deals out severe blows at
the abomi nable principles of Free-lov-
ers as set forth in the practices of the
Oneida Communists and Spiritualists
and spares not their apologists high in
social life who throw the mantle Of
charity over their licentious practices
and regard them as religious enthusiasts
The DR.. is an able and eloquent speaker
has a clear heavy voice and command
ing appearance. Churches and associa-
tons would do the cause ofscriptural
marriage good service by inviting the
DR.. to all parts Of the State to deliver
his lectures. ~

MILWAUKEE, Iowa AND KANSAS II
R.-Our readers are all aware that thu
railroad project bearing this name il
proposed extension of a road now in
operation from Milwaukee TO the Miss
issippi at Savanna, whereby it is hoped
to open to large portion of the rich
producing territory of this State the
excellent market of the city named.
This county, or considerable part Of
it directly, and indirectly, Of course,
the whole, is interested in the project
in that it is at present proposed to di-
verge at or near Rome, in Jones Co.,
and running through Fremont, Linn,
and Cass townships. making points of
Stanwood and Cedar Bluffs, pass on to
Iowa City. We have had occasion
heretofore to speak Of the great advan-
tage the consumma.ion of such scheme
would be to the localities spoken of,
and as vote upon the question of
levying tax in its aid is now in abey-
ance in two of the townships indicated =,
will add just few words. 1t ia urged
as the chief objections, We understand,
against the tax, that the building of the
road is not certain; that if built, it may
not be located as now planned; and that
the tax is thus liable to be levied and
paid in all for naught, to the evident
prejudice of the tax payers. To this it
seems only necessary to say, that a line
of railroad will never be assured to any
| locality without an inducement being
offered; that after the tax has been
voted, we do not understand that ii
must necessarily be levied and collected
until there is something certain to go
upon; and that, if the road is worth
having, it is surely worth willie to make
a bid for it, which is all that township
does in voting, conditionally, a tax in
its aid.

THE DEBT or ST. DOMINGO.
From the Cincinnati Gazette, ia n. a.

From the Cincinnati Gazette, in H. I4l
81. Domingo has for half century been pleudered
and pawned in succession by the chiefs OF factions
as they gained the temporary control, just as the
chief who is now sustained in the constructive con-
troll OF the government by our navy Is trying to re-
alize on the remains by sale to our Presl
dent. The, statement is made in the lecis-
lative deliberations, without denial, that her
debt is ten millions, and that there other grants
for which public property Is pledged, which amount
10 three or four millions more. The fact Is showed
aside by the assumption that government
Will not be liable for It. without doubt The Presl-
dent, whose former occupation has not lei him to
much thought upon public law honestly snpposes
that the sum which he agrees to pay in the treaty Of
annexation is the limit TO the liabilities the national
government Will assume; but little reflection VIII
show the contrary.
BY annexation the United States Will take posses
sion OF all the customs revenue OF ST. Domingo and
VIII enforce there oir cxcises upOn tobacco spirits
beer, the stamp tax tax on sales income tax &c.
TO take possession of her sources OF revenue and
leave ner to pay the debt she had incurred upon
those revenues would be equivalent TO conGscation
TO take possession OF her revenues nom customs
and repudate the debt she had contracted upon
them would be not only TO cheat the creditor but TO
rob the inhabitants. OF course we shall not turn
thieves In that way, but shall assume her debt,
which, upon this certainty, VIII swell to its utmost
expansion.
Ssco,sdty-By the law of nations the Power which
acquires foreign territory becomes liable for It's
debt II this government acquires st. Domingo it
viii not attempt to repudiate what public law as
well as common honesty make Its obligations.
2hhuty-H we could gam st. Domingo and reject
ITS debt we would not desire to gain State dishon
ored by reputation or bankruptcy.
F0uruttV-lf we could acquire st. Domingo and
leave the debt resting only on the ilhabltants still it
would be debt IN most noriinate proportion 10
their means, and which would be n great oppression
on all their future Industry and on all adventurcrs
who go there.
But 1t Is plain that after reelection no public
man who has any character 90 lose Will ATTEMPT to
deny IT, that If this government annexes ST. Do
mingo 1t will be liable for Its debt, and will at once
add from Sl000O,000 TO s15,0O0000 TO our public
de0t, for that which did not so yield TO the
81. Domingo chiefs oue-half OF the face OF the
obligation.
This Is not an insuporable objection--it Il merely
consideration In calculating the value of the acqul-
sion and ltss an objection TO the usesor dishonest
methous and repudiating arguments TO promote
this purchase.
