The 0uhls Playing Out.

Few persons probably, know how
rapidly the American bison is disap-
pearing from the western plains. At
one time, it Is said, that they were to
be found everywhere west of Lake
Champlain and the Hudson river, but
for many years they have been extinct
east of the Mississippi river. The
work of extinction, however, appears
to 60 on more bravely in proportion
as they are driven into narrower and
narrower limits, and it is not unlikely
that the fate of the European bison,
which once abounded in the woody
wilderness Of Germany, northern Gaui,
and neighboring parts of the continent
but which Is now to be found alone
and rarely in the forests of Lithunia,
will soon be theirs. Some idea of the
extent of this ruthless slaughter, may
be formed from the fact that 5000
bisons were killed during the month of
May, south of the Kansas and Pacific
railroad, for the sake of their hides
alone, which are sold at the paltry
price of two dollars each, on delivery
for shipment to the eastern markets.
Add to this 5000 small estimate
shot by tourists and killed by the In
dams to supply meat to the people on
the frontier, and we have a sum total
of 10000 as the victims for a single
month. If the bison were a wild,
savage animal-if to kill one required
any especial skill, or bravery, or nerve,
there might be some justification for
this enormous slaughter. But the fact
is that the bison is an exceedingly mild
dispositioned animal. His looks indi-
cate ferocity and malignity, but his
nature does not correspond with his
appearance.

An old friend up in Keokuk county
sends to a contemporary, the following
note under the date of the 18th inst.
"DEAR HAwK-EYE:-Ih have been
of late frequently asked why SO many
Friends are going to vote fer Greeley /?
To put tho matter to rest I think 1 can
safely say there is not q single sound
orthodox Friend in the United States
that will vote for Greeley. No, we
can't go for Greeley, when we know II
he is elected it will be putting the gov
eminent into the hands of the rebels.
And, further, as President Grant is the
only ruler of any nation who has seen
fit to recognize our peace principles, it
would be letdown and a reproach to
the Society of Friends to talk Of going
for Greeley. Friends have taken very
little stock in Horace since he bailed
JEFF DAVIS. AS an individual, 1 would
as soon vote for Davis as for Greeley.
! have no idea what have written
will be contradicted."

Last evening the Republicans Of this
city held meeting at the Court Hous .
to form Grant and Wilson club
Every seat in the house was full, and
many were compelled to stand up, and
great many went away who could
not get in at all. The meeting was or
ganized by calling w. J. Mitchell,
Esq, to the Chair, and r. II. Warden
to act as Secretary.
A committee consisting of J. III.
Merrill, ]. w. Caldwell, and d. H.
Emery, were appointed to report a
Constitution and Bylaws for the gov
eminent Of the Club.
During the absence of the Commit.
tee, the President of the meeting, w.
j. Mitchell, was called on, and gave
the meeting short but telling speech.
The Committee on Constitution then
signified their readiness to report, but
as the meeting were in most hilarious
and enthusiastic mood, motion was
made to appoint committee of five to
report the names of officers at the next
meeting Thursday evening, Aug. lst,)
who, together with the Committee on
the Constitution, were ordered to re-
port at that meeting.
Hon. W.. NOR, of Eldora, being
present, was called out and made a
brief but excellent speech. The meet
ing was also ably addressed by j. G.
Hutchinson and Maj. Hamilton, and at a
late hour adjourned with three rousing
cheers for Grant and Wilson.
We never saw more unanimity or
enthusiasm among Republicans than
was displayed last night. They are
going into the work with will, and it
evidently was totally unlocked for by
few Of the unterrified Democrats who
were. present to witness such another
funeral occasion as was displayed on
the corner of Market and Second streets
few nights ago, when Greeley and
Brown ratification was attempted.-
Now let us skecp the ball rolling" and
the majority for Grant in Wapcllo
county, will astonish the Greeley "bar-
gain and sale men" I'M November.

citously ask,--How can this Republic

citously ash, How can this Republic
triumphantly accomplish the stupen-
dous mission and work which it is set
to do? This mission and work is no
novel and trifing one. The promises
and hopes of Republic have been
held out to other ages and inspired
other nations to attempt the same diff
ficult but glorious path. In the face
Of all the centuries, we essay, in this
land, a task which has never yet been
attempted, even ON much less exten.
sivc scale, without sad failure. Re-
publics have not been success. Often
tried, holding forth brilliant promises,
exciting great expectations only to dis
appoint their noble apostles and SUBJ
jects. What reason then have we to
think that this Republic is to prove
bright exception; fulfilling its much
Wanted destiny, assuring to the world
the sublime spectacle and permanent
fact, Of a government at once the most
powerful and least burdensomc the
most solid and flexible; constantly
modifying its polity and institutions,
to meet the ever changing interests OF
its diversely educated population; the
weakest and yet mightiest for good in
consolidating its motley subjects
and diverse interests into one stupen-
dous nationality, as gigantic as its geo.
graphical domain is vast and magnifi-
cent?
Rome, detesting the kingly offices
and rule, abolished il, and inaugurated
a Republic, in which the well born,
educated and wealthy classes exercised
the actual power,-rose, fourished and
fell into general ruin,-legalized cruel
ty and oppression and social vices
because she needed prime factor in
the government which she did not or
could not obtain.
The sword that may suffice for
monarchy is not strong enough to pre-
serve Republic.
Greece, brilliant in intellect, exqui-
site in art culture also fell, though up
held by the united power ofthe sword,
intellect and art, because such things
were not mighty enough to give per-
lnanence to her experiment of self
government.
France intoxicated by vain love of
national glory, essayed the Republican
problem, under the lead of infidel
philosophy and was speedily ana terri
bly, deluged in the blood of her citizens.
History's unerring index-finger thus
teaches us that neither the sword, in
tellect art culture or philosophy, nor
all of them combined, can give the
guarantees which are needed to secure
the bene6cent rule and perpetufty of a
Republic.
A failure Of the effort of self-govern-
ment in the New World, would be
both crime against God and humans
