The present Legislature will soon
take up the question Of making an
appropriation to enable the State to
make 4 crcditablc showing at the Gem
tennial. Such appropriations are fa-
vorably considered in many OF our
sister States. We can see no reason
why it is not highly proper that an
appropriation should be made amply
Sufficient to supply the needed aid to
give Iowa good, clear field in sccur-
ing to her prominence in this, the
greatest of the worlds fairs, and suit
able TO this grand jubilee year of the
nation. We arc not sufficiently con-
'versant with the needs for the occa-
sion, to fix'in our own mind, upon the
amount of this appropriation. AS to
the amount, it should be carefully.
digcsted, and where and how it is TO be.
used next, tic disbursement should
be guarded with the greatest care !;
all necessary checks introduced to
prevent wrong use Of the money,
and vouchers required. 50 that a de-
tailed and satisfactory report ran be
made of all money spent. Iowa can
make a grand showing ut this exhi-
tion, and if it be done right, it will
not only be Of immense satisfaction
-.
to all Iowans, but it will bring the
State into such notice that it will
redonnd to her material prosperity
greatly. hs.ss l'if 4 sifa

Gushing, Nov. 9TH, in which he says,

TiiE only men who ever paid the
penalty Of death for treason in this
nation, were old John Brown and
some OF his dcluded followers. The
old man loved freedom for all men
his spirit saw in every human form
bearing the image Of its Creator, the
inherent right. regardless of race or
color, to the inalienabic rights Of man.
In the Kansas struggle for those
rights, the old man had been most
gricvously bcrcavcd in the loss oi
sons and by the crazcd condition OF
a daughter, whose mental alteration
had been brought on by the horrors
she had witnessed at the hands OF
pro-slaycry satellites. His home des-
olatcd, his kindred slain. he, doubt
less, became partially crazed, and
boldly and wrongfully undertook tho
mad-cap expedition OF invading the
soil of Virginia. Easily overcome and
capfufad, THIS delHded man explafed
his oflense upon the scaffold, to ap-
pease the wrath and the rery mercifa
demands, as Firginiaas thought, fol
his punishment. Now. however, these
same Nirginians and their Democrat.
ic allies are furiously out Of humor
and charge upon Republicans the re
yiving Of old difficulties, because Jcf
Davis cannot be honorcd with tht
rights necessary TO BECOME President
Such isia fair and truthful contrast
between the magnanimity Of the ad.
yocateS and defenders of universa
freedom and those who, on account o.
love forslaveryyevcn became traitors
to the nation. a;i

ACCORDING te tho annual report OF
business failures during the past year,
just issned by Messrs. II. G.. Dun &

that the number of failures in the

previous years, while the proportion
ate liability is somewhat less than tho
average. There were 7,71O failures
in all gross liabilities $9Ol, ,OGO, 1853
average, liability, $25,gGO. OF the fail
.ures, ,335 occurred in the New En-
