Our attention has recently been called to an article in the State Gazette, relative jter. During the period of time which to the Board of Public Works, which had Doctor Lowe and Col. Neally have dis hcretofore escaped our observation, not- charged the duties of these offices, we withstanding the fact that we areas close readers as we are sincere admirers of the general views expressed through the edi torial columns of that sterling sheet. The article in question insinuated that attacks had been made upon the Board by demo cratic papers, which attacks the editor did not approve. Now, if a refusal to endorse all the official acts and recommendations of the Board, together with our personal efforts and earnest remonstrances, as pri vate individuals, dining the sitting of the Legislature, against the celebrated Bund business, be construed into attacks upon the Board, then we have rendered our selves liableto the imputation. It is true, we have published one or two communi cations, reflecting rather pointedly upon the tenacity with which certain members of the Board advocated ibe anti-democrat ic and ruinous policy which would have involved the State to an almost indefinite extent, through the issue of from -f:200, 000 to $'5CHT000 worth of Stale Bonds, bearing 10 per cent annual interest, re deemable in twenty y*ars, for the prose cution of the Desmoines improvement.— As far as relates to the ruinous tendency of the bond policy, we cordially concur in the views expressed by our correspon dent while a regard for truth compels us to admit the truth of his charge, to the ef fect that the President, at least, if not one other member of the board in attendance upon the sitting of the Legislature, were the originators of at least one,and the main advocates of all the bills before the Leg i hiture, authorizing the issue of bends. Let us not be understood now as wish ing to ccnsurc these members who were induced to vote ftr those bills,from a false impression as to the local advantages which n to, IS to delClld OUrsel\ es 3gaint the imputation of hostility towards-the Board!at were included in the list of democratic journals whom the Gazette intimates as hostile to some of its acts. Such hostility we do not feel. The members of the Board are our political, and uostof them webe- our eyes so far as to believe them invul nerable in all their official acts and recom mendations. Neither can it so far alter or blunt our understandings, as to induce us to believe that a course of policy which, in a whig administration, would meet the unqualified censure and merited disappro bation of the democracy of the State, "must, as a matter of course, be regarded as free from censure or reproach when advocated by a set of men who have been elevated to place by the high of tfcedemocra cy of the State. The censurable feature of the bills re lative to the Board of Public Works, (which, as every member and looker-on here last winter well knows,was strongly advecatcd by cert.iin of its members, was a clause, introduced with the most per verse perseverance, upon its successive repudiation, into three several bills) autho rized the issue, in advance of the sale of the lands, of bonds of the State, predica ted upon the Dcsmoines' grant, equal to A 1.00 for every acre of land contained in s.iid grant. These bonds were to be re deemable in twenty years, and were to bear an interest of 10 per cent per annum. As it is not to be expected that the State kvould be able to pay an interest of from $20,000 to 50,000, on .f200,000 or $500, 000 worth of bonds, the natural conse quence would have been doubtless in a few years,a debt of several millions of dol lars accumulating yearly against the Stale, without the hope of ultimate redemption. Thus much we deem necessary to say. in justification of any remarks of ours which may have been construed into wan ton and unprovoked censure, by those un acquainted with the facts which have call ed, and called loudly, too, we think, for the expression of sentiments of decided disapprobation from us as conduclers of a public, and especially a democratic jour nal, looking to the future financial credit of the State pnd to the Well-being of o»r party. SESSION LAWS.—We are happy to be able to state that the printing of the laws of the late session of the Gen. Assemblv was completed on Saturday last. But for the high water early in the season, and our consequent disappointment in procur ing paper, they might have been out in one half the time.

That a protest has been tor Jesse Bowen. whig elector, as Regis- made against it by so.ne of the more re spectable portion of the whigs of Iowa, have never heard the first word of com plaint as to the manner in which they have performed their duties. But that is neither here nor there. They were dem ocrats, and must give place to Gen. Tay lor's partizan friends, as hundreds have done before them throughout the country during the two past months. As to the gentlemen who have been appointed to fill these offices, we have nothing to say against their capacity or their honesty. But in relation to one of the selections, (that of Doct. Bowen) be is a loud-moulhed, brawling politician, and has been an aspirant for office at the hands of the people in this State for a long succcssion of years, without once meeting with success. lie may make a good offi cer, however, as far as the bare discharge of his duties is concerne but he is en tirely too overbearing and dictatorial for us to suppose that he will give anything like the universal satisfaction that his suc cessor has always given* The office, in his hands, w|ll fee used almost exclusively as an electioneering machine. Although he is notorijusly un popular, even with his own party, still whigs who have business with his office may get along with him. Democrats, however,must make up their minds to the excessive annoyance of his natural dispo sition to obtrude politics into everv thing, in connection with his overbearing dispo it ion the Taylor administration the full length of rope asked for, his is one of those ex tremely obnoxious appointments which calls for a check from a democratic Senate. would thereby be secured to their imtne- mus' removed, no appointment which diate constituents, nor yet as entirely ex culpating them from blame for the act.^ Tile task which we have set ourselves n. While we are disposed "to give!^'lg ,IPavlnr !l,er• nnnnnisiriltiwi ia iiall I it As to Gen.

But this fact cannot blind ^arren, in contrast with whose charaetcr, that of Geo. Morris is in di rect opposition. ••Whining.'* In .connection with the icforroation which we this week give our readers, in forming them of another instance of Gen. Taylor's violated pledges—a clear case of proscription for cpiniou's sake—we dis claim the imputation of "whining," which has been thrown out against us in regard to similar announcements. We do not whine for we are not at all disappointed in Gen. Taylor's course, in unblushingly violating, and thus early, the only distinct pledge which he made to the people. The democratic incumbents of these offices do not "whine" at sharing the fate of the host of good and true men whose heads have fallen before them. But if the whigs, af ter their cowardly refusal to announce "re movals," as such,openly and above board, think to deter us from informing the peo ple of their treachery, by absurdly con struing our faithful expositions into *'whin ing" at the fate of our democratic friends, they will be very apt to find themselves disappointed in their expectations. We rcgaid Gen.Taylor's promises before, and his performances after election, as.a gross fraud upon the American people, as base in design as it is ungrateful and unblush ing in its perpetration. As such wc shall always speak of it —not deeming that the exalted position of the perpetrator of the fraud should be a bar to a just expression of honest indignation, but cn the contrary, imposes upon him obligations of a higher nature, to set an example of good faith, honor and probity before the people whom he has so basely betrayed. ••••,• In view of Doctor Di&$jN)rV ap pointment, it has been suggested that the city council have the streets widened be fore his return from Washington. We do'nt believe he can expand much more, however if he does, a whole deputation of "our friends from the western border, who are hot in the habit of hearing politi cal speaking," might safely "pass between him." Wagon-builders, blacksmiths and others in this and Iowa, Linn and Cedar counties, who are. in want of Iron or other hardware, will find it to their advantage to call on our friend Sanxay, in prefcr- will be bound ence to going to the river towns. Of and ready for distribution by the last of Iron he has some fifty or sixty tons, and this, or the first of next'week, when Sec-J as it was brought here by steam, he can retary Bonney will proceed gjrftwytly in afford it as low if not lower, than oan be their distribution* bought on the Mississippi. Try him. 1 jft Kissing the llod. The public have been looking on for We understand that information lias been received of the removal of the high-j some time past, to see if the whig party of appears to be conceded,even by the Hawk eye. That sheet, however, seems to de ny the soft impeachment of the Gazette, to the effect that "the whigs have deter mined no longer to submit to the rule of Fitz Henry Warren," »,nd "mean to set up for themselves." He conjures them to bow the knee, that "thrift may follow fawning." Hear what he says, ye whigs, and open your mouths 110 more against the Prince of Hog Drivers. "LOOK OUT.—When loco fcco editors begin to praise and commend the action of whigs, it is time for whigs to think of the consequences. If these editors had noth ing to gain for their party bv such praise they would not utter it. \Ve deny the statement made in the Gazette of yester day and which follows:—" •The most sensible thing we haveheard of for a long time is the determination of the whigs no longer to submit to the rule of Fitz Henry Warren. They say they have submitted to the control of the "one man power" long enough and hereafter mean to set up for themselves. It is no secret that a large number of the most in fluential of the party have united in sign ing and forwarding a protest to Washing ton against peimitlinghim to exercise any influence whatever in the appointments to be made for this State and this move ment, we are informed, will be followed up in other parts of (lie State.' '•We recommend \S hig3 to adhere to their principles, to st.uul shoulder to shoulder in tkeir defence and propngation, and not permit themselves to be swerved from their duty by any appointments or disappointments. Men arc nothing,prin ciples everything." If this be the true whi, w.U(L,e!ic^ second thought will lead all true wings to rally around and uphold it, and thus discountenance all proffering of "aid and comfort to the enemy." With "Old Zack" for their leader, the whigs can ac complish much, even in Iowa." DID'JTT HS FEEL CiiE.il'?—Some of the workmen about the Capital, finding an empty pocket-beok, among the rubbish, stuffed it with diver3 old papers, musty tobacco quids, etc., and, tying it carefully up left the tempting bait near the door.— A stranger who had net yet seen the ele phant,happening to drop in soon after, took himself in, in the following manner:— Walking somewhat briskly towards the door, he made a sudden stoop, or rather squat, and without stopping his headway, thrust the prize safely and quickly into his breeches pockct. Passing around to the end of the building nnd looking care fully about, he apparently thought himself not quite secure enough from observation there to examine into the extent of his good luck so going down into the river bottom, he went around to the rear of an old building for that purpose. From thence he was soon observed going away with his chin resting upon his breast, and his hands performing evolutions somewhat similar to those of a man who had been using his fingers for a candle-snuffer.— Wonder if he wont always experience an unpleasant sensation in the ends of his fin gers in future, at the bare sight of a quid of the weed? aipll is rumored in town that Wallace and ilson have been appointed to the I" airfield Land office,and Thos. McKnight, one of the officers of the Dttbuqtte Land Office. Tlic nsti of Lim.?. The free use of lime as a disinfecting"' agent, appears to be universally admitted to be one of the best preventives against cholera. The common council of Burling ton have providec a supply for that city, and we hope our "city fathers," who have thus far proceeded with commendable promptness in the discharge of their offi cial duties, will expend a small appropri ation for the same object. The following extract is in relation to the good effect produced by similar means in St. Louis: LIME! LIME!—A letter from St Louis dated on Saturday last says: 'Exhort your fellow citizens to Liwie their city in time, and not wait till the scourge is upon them. It has certainly clucked the disease in this city at its fust furious onset. The city is not all Limed yet, but where it is so the benefit is not only prcccptible, but very great, rendering the air sweet, and the infected neighbor hoods comparatively healthy. The minis ters of St. Louis are very active. Bishop lluwks has not scarcely had his clothes oil'for two weeks, and has scarcely slept within that time." AMOS TUCK, lately elected to Congress from New Hampshire, by the whigs, who took him up after the abolitionists had nom inated him, has formally given in his adhe sion to the name, as- well as the principles of the whigs. He says: "The editors who have assigned"to me all sorts of opinions, will take my presence here this evening as evidence that I have gone over, hook and line, to the whigs. I am here this evening to be with my friends and my enemies may make the most of it.' J#"James Gordon Bennet has declared his intention of becoming an American cit izen, and has taken out his first papers. A TRUE PICTI*aE.— i VERY.'SSSpeaking of the com ing election of a Board of Public Works, the Hawkeye indicates the following.pels, icy for its party. It says: "In the meantime, as the citizens of the Des Moines "Valley are more deeply in terested in the improvement than those of any other portion of the State, and as we think they ought to have the principal say iu the matter, let them bring out three competent independent candidates, irre spective of party,and let the whigs through out the State give such candidates their support." If the editor of the Hawkeye thinks to withdraw any portion of the democratic strength of the southern portion of the State from the regular nominees of the Democratic State Convention soon to be held, by an entirely local nomination, he will find himself grievously disappointed in the outcome. The votes of the south ern democracy at the August and Novem ber elections ought to satisfy old Hawk that they are not to be tampered with. New Governmtnt Banker.^—thi New York Truo Siin, after giving "an atte ex pose of the villanous conduct of the man agement of the United States Bank, previ ous to the final catastrophe, states that Samuel Jaudon, while agent for the bank in London, received$344,07639 for three and a quarter years services. Regular salaries, office expenses and extra com missions make up the immense amount. The True Sun adds "The whigs went out of power, but have again found an available military chieftain, whose sword has opened to them the treasury, and public report announces Samuel Jaudon, Esq., ex-cgent and ex cashier, as the government banker at Washington. A new national bank is out of the question no person would subscribe to its capital nor any buisness man ac knoweledge its expediency. The rigid operation of the indepenent treasury is the surest safeguard against the gigantic political briberies that attended the old in stitution, and the existance of a national debt is the only link between brokers and Linkers and the government. The cash ier of the late national bank being re-estab lished at Washington, the vice president is arranging his plan of a great national paper issue which he announced in lib report as comptroller of New York, and a meeting in New England proposes the issue of $10,GG0.000 of a stock fcr rail road to Giiilornia. These re seme of the elements that are called in ac tion in less than sixty days from the succession of the whigs to power, ar.d they will from the meshes in which the old general and hu notions of independence will be bundled up and laid away to dry.'

Our flag is respected by all civilized nations. The American name never stood higher than at this moment. The present is prosperous, the future is bright with promise.
