,nuch i'll health here as in other
nlaces with which I have been &C.
Guaintcd. Intelligent people admit
that facts do not support the claim
Of superior hcalthfulncss. The
truth is the air is intoxicating. It
sets the machinery Of life into un-
naturally rapid motion. Wine
taken through the lungs may be as
injurious as that taken through the
stomach. The fire burns out the
sooner through the raging Of the
flames. A citizen said to me the
other day, eve do not, as once,
have to shoot a man to make a
funeral" I have heard more of
heart disease since coming to this
climate than in my whole life be-
fore. In the powerful stimulus of
the atmosphere is not the heart over
worked? My own experience fur
nishes an illustration. Since coming
here / have an accession Of fifteen
pounds to my normal weight. There
is probably not more healthy look
ing man in the place than myself,
but, in truth, my health was never
so thoroughly poor. Neuralgia and
nervous headaches, which before
coming here I had never known,
incapacitate me, weeks together,
for mental labor. At times the ali
appears intolerable to my lungs. AT
other times l fancy that know the
sensations of partial drunkenness.
If the injury l have received does
not force the reconstruction of the
plans for my life, l shall be only too
happy, and this for the healthiest
man abroad! So possessed was l
with the idea of the supreme health
fitness of this climate, that it was
months before ! began to suspect
the cause of my experiences. 1t is
true the delicacy of my nervous sys-
TEN, and the hard usage to which it
has been subjected in the past, laid
me open to attack, but many invalids
come to this country to be fiattered
by the iavigorating qualities of the
atmosphere, and to die the more
quickly from their quickened pace.
That the climate is extraordinarily
healthful to some is unquestionablc.
Defective lungs are sometimes
cured, healthy lungs sometimes de-
stroyed. l make no doubt that to
emigrants from the northern coun-
tries of Europe, hard, sinewy,
coarse-fbred, this state will prove
a most desirable home. And these
are the people who are taking pos
session of its soil. Iowa naturally
seems to me infinitely preferable
as a state, though there is much to
interest and charm in this more
northern region.
The crops in this vicinity promise
fairly, fact unfortunately by no
means universal in the State.
Very truly yours,
HENRY Mills.

stead, mark with what meek vi turn
ing of the eyes he comes under the
yoke:
"Radicals were hopeful that such
platform would be adopted IN would
create dissatisfaction and produce di-
vision in our ranks They were disap-
pointed. The COMMITTEES on resolutions
acted with deiibcratioE and
wisdom. The resolutions reitcrate well
established principle of the party-to
abide by and support the Constitution,
recurring strict construction Of the letter
and spirit. In short we have a
democratic platform, infinitely superior
to the one Of last year."
Most lame and impotent conclu-
sion. Is this the end of the dough-
ty tive will not" Of a few weeks
since; this the pen which indited
the flatulent truisms about the eter-
nifty of "right'' and "wrong," and
the immortality Of "principle."

champions succumb sdeFeadily and

foolish assertion, and we allude to
it only to indicate the role set for
the 4Nears in the Harlan campaign,
the same assumed in the last sena-
torial campaign by the Davenport
Gazette that of disappearing the
sentiment of Northern Iowa for the
purpose of effect in other portions
Of the State. The statement that
two-thirds, or one-third, Of Northern
Iowa Republicans prefer Mr.. Har-
Ian to Mr.. Allison is untrue, and
the only alternative by which the
editor of the Ne,cs can escape the
charge of penning what he knew to
be false, is the assumption that he
has not the capacity to compre-
bend the plainest and most unmis-
taxable indications of public sch
timent.

/ Resolced, That we are in favor of ex-
tending the blessings of civil and religious
/ liberty to the human race, everywhere,
and, therefore, whenever it shall be made
manifest that the people of San Domingo
desire annexation to the United States
for the purpose of enjoying the benefits
which such relation would afford them,
we shall favor the earnest and intelligent
consideration Of this question by the
treaty-making power of the Government
ResoLced, That as agriculture is the
basis of the material interests of this
State, we recognize its pre-eminent claims
for support, by legislation or otherwise,
as may be necessary to secure the full de-
velopment Of our highly favored State
| Resolred, That we are in favor of such
modification of our revenue system as
will, at as early a day as possible, relieve
the pressure of our internal revenue laws,
| and reduce, as far as practicable, the eX-
pcnse of collecting these taxes.
Resolced, That we cordially approve
and earnestly endorse the eminently wise,
patriotic and economical administration
of President Grant, and heartily commend
it to the favorable consideration of the
country.
Resoioed, That we are opposed to any
system or plan of granting public lands
to railroad or other corporations without
ample provision being made for securing
their speedy sale at moderate prices, and
occupancy upon fair and liberal terms
by any and all who desire to purchase
and settle upon them.
Resoleed, That we are in favor of an
economical and judicious management of
the affairs of the State, and with this
view we endorse the present administra-
ton of the State Government.
DR.. Bulls was then introduced and
made brief speech, eulogiZng Col. Car
penter and the platform and promising
his hearty assistance in rolling up
heavy majority in Iowa.
Loud calls at length brought out Mai
OConnor, who prefaced his remarks by
the intimation that he was not usually
very happy in the delivery of funeral
orations. He improved the occasion.
however, to deliver one Of his telling and
eloquent speeches. 1t was conceived and
delivered in the very best spirit. He
spoke in the highest terms of the success
tul candidate for Governor, Col. Carpen-
ter, and Of his fitness for the position he
is soon to occupy, and by his eloquent
appeal for Republican success this fall,
showed that he is actuated by no mere
personal and selfish motives and feelings
His speech occupied some time, and was
listened to with rapt attention and loudly
applauded.
At the close Of Mr.. O'Connors speech
the Convention adjourned with the ut
most confidence in the nominations, and
in their emphatic endorsement by the
people of Iowa

Another War Cloud in Europe.

The legitimate results Of the en-
lmgement of the power and intiu-
ence of Bismarck are already be-
coming apparent. A Berlin dis
patch to the New York Herald OF
the 23d of June, is very suggestive
of his intention to provoke a war
between Germany and England.
The conquest and humiliation OF
Tlance has only -~hetted his appe-
tite for power, and he next turns to
England as proper subject upon
which to exercise his bullying pro-
pensities. According to the dis
patch TO the Hertz Bismarck has
made a peremptory demand upon
England for the cession to Germa-
ny of Heligoland, a small and in
Significantly peo.led island in the
North Sea about fifty miles from the
coast OF Germany, coded to England
by Denmark in 1874, and since held
by her in peaceful and undisturbed
possession. To this nothing less
than bullying bel,est, Granville, the
British premie' civil, responds
that England has no desire to sell
Hcligoland, and could entertain no
proposition for its cession to Ger
MAN. To this plain language Bis
marck makes instant rcjoinder re-
newing the demand, declaring that
the possession Of the island was nee
essary for the protection of the Ger
man coast, reciting the facilities it
afforded the French navy, enabling
it to blockade German ports and
paralyzc German commerce, and
closing with the significant remark
that lie regarded the possession of
Hcligoland by a foreign power as
standing menace to Germany. Gran
vile calmly answers this second de-
mand by again declining to sell
Heligoland, saying that England
could only consider her own inter
ests in the matter, and that the
wishes or necessities of Germany
no valid claim for the
possessiol isi..39. Thus the
matter S. ans ut last advices, and if
correct r ii ed, war can hardly

will be clearl, provoked by the I'M

of the ottumwa u" paper
which lately reioieed tie Of
3" Co1perhe"1' rs approl indi-
cation Of its principles regard
to the "ncw departure" When the
new and revolutionary Democratic
dogma was first preached by Val
landigham, the Democrat attracted
attention to itself by the eml 3hasis
of it's protests and denunciations of
the doctrine. 1t said speaking Of
the Dayton resolutions:
We cannot subscribe to this 'Ncw De-
parture."
Read over the resolutions carefully, and
you must either come to the conclusion
that they are false and hypocritical in
their tone, or else they virtually acknowl-
edge that Democracy Adsbeen ,erong all
the time and Republication right ett the
time
Wrong is ,erong! What acas right ten
gears ago is right nos, and aohat aeas
aerong Men should be condemned now.
Men may change, but principles are
immortal!
Speaking in behalf Of the true Jeffer-
sonian Democracy of the country, we say
that no matter aeho recommends or farors
this "Ne,o Departure" zee 10 u not accept
any Of the infamous amendments as parf
and parcel Of the constitution.
The Democratic State Convention
met few weeks after this snort of
defiance, and not only endorsed
Vallandigham's "Ncw Departure, !"
but according to universal Demo
cratic Judgment, went far in adj
vance Of it, passing with but faint
show of opposition the following
not ambiguous resolutions:
Resolred, That we recognize our bind
ing obligations to the Constitution of the
United States as it now exists, without
reference to the means by which the same
b. came the supreme law OF the land.
Resolred, That we will faithfully sup
port the Constitution of the United States
as it now exists, and that we demand for
it a strict construction SO as to protect
equally the rights of States and indiyidu-
ais.
The unsopbistocatcd reader will
naturally infer from the foregoing
threat by the Ottumwa paper, that
upon its reception of the acticn OF
the State Convention Of its party,
