Republican friends have great rea-
to be thankful for the treasures they
possess in the two distinguished gentle
men who at present occupy the Guberna
torial chairs of IOWA and ILLINOIS.—
Sancho Panza in the palmiest hour of his
incumbency at the Capital of Barataria,
was not so successful in perpetrating jokes
for the amusement of posterity, as the
noble mir of brothers of whom we arc
-wHting.
We see ky an article ia tl\e Express fe
Herald that His Excellency, Gov. Grimes,
vetoed a late act of the Legislature ce
ding to the United States a piece of
ground in DuBuque upon which the Gov
ernment proposed to erect a Custom
House. The Governor's objection to
signing the Bill was, that the General
Government might use the land so ceded,
as a place to Btoro Fugitive Slaves in case
of their arrest by parties claiming them
The Legislature met the Governor's objec
tion by limiting the authority of the U.
States in the cession it was then signed
by his astute Excellency and then
why, then the U. States declined to accept
the cession and the City of DuBuque, so
far as the Iowa Legislature and Executive
could effect it, was deprived of a Custom
House Senator Jones being at Wash
ington and learning the

Asaukcs the Angela weep."
of our
State authorities, remedied the defeat and
•ecured the commencement of the work
by pledging the City of DuBuque that
the Government should ultimately have a
title without the attachment of ridiculous
and unusual "provisos." When the next
Legislature of Iowa meets, a majority
will be Democratic and our commercial
North Iowa Centre, DuBuque, can redeem
her pledge. Verily our Governor has a
remarkable nose for scenting a colored
gentleman in a pile of fuel!
fiow let us turn to Governor Bissell
'"tjje gallant Illinoisan." The Legislature
of Illinois at its late session passed an act
districting the State for Senatorial and
Representative purposes. It was present
ed to Bissell in due form, he wrote "ap
proved." and attached his signature .to the
Bill and it became a LAW.
Subsequently it was examined by a self
constituted committee and the astounding
discovery was made that the Democracy
would have an equal show, if not a decid
ed advantage, in the election of a Legis
lature under this act There was no
remedy knows to the Constitution, to
law, or to precedent, but it was suggested
that the Governor might repeal the ob
noxious law by issuing an "Edict of Rev
ocation" and he did it! Such an act of
usurpation had never before been heard of
iaa Representative government, but what
of? tkat ?—such a Governor had never be
fore been heard of! The Law of course
Tcmnins a statute, beyond the reach of
all the Governors in Christendom, but
fook at the atteaipt! If an act may tie
signed today by the Executive and re
voked to-morrow, why may he not have
the power to revoke at any time thereaf
ter, and what security have the citizens
of a State that their laws will hold, any
Jotter than it auks the pleasure or the
whims of a fickle Chief Magistrate.

In the concluding proceedings of the
Constitutional Convention it is reported
that
"Mr. moved thateveiy Editor.

the Debates of this Convention, which

It is extremely provoking thai *H the
small and unimportant matters of that
body are reported with the greatest min
uteness, due credit being given to the most
infinteBsimal resolution but when a sub
ject of real importance comes up like the
one indicated by the motion referred to,
the name of the introducer is lost to the
world and to posterity! This s too bad.
Here arc oyer One Hundred Editors in
Iowa whose hearts are swelling (ours hat

Politics.
We occasionally feet we
could relish a dish of this article, but re
ally we do not like to live on it. The
Canvass was fought in 1856. Mr Bu
chanan was elected, and notwithstanding
the predictions of hisopponenls, the world
goes along as regularly as ever. Nobody
is hurt yet, unless it may bo some patriot
who wanted to serve his country and
could'nt, by appointment under the new
Administration. "Old Buck" is no
stranger to the duties of the Presidential
office, and it is all nonsense for our Re-
publican friends to fret about the way he
will manage Foreign or Domestic matters.
He certainly knows what is right, and
his love cf country is too great to subject
him to suspicions of doing wrong to either
section of this great confederacy. The
Union can not bo broken by fanatics or |^oun^
fire-eaters so long as moderate men fail to
back them in their follies. Let us cool off
and talk about something besides Ne
groes—the subject is a dark one any way
you can fix it.
Iowa Historical Society.
We have received from the newly-or
ganized State Historical Societv of Iowa,
a Circular which it will afford us pleasure
to publish when our columns will admit
of it. Gov. Grimes is the President and
C. Billings Smith the corresponding Sec
retary. A large number of influential
names are attached to the Circular as Cu
rators. The Institution is just
organized
it commences life with a small appropria
tion from the State, which it is to be hop
ed, will be repeated annually until the
Society is able to live without it. The
ideaof o'ganizing while the State is young
is a good one, as many incidents in its
history may be lost or forgotten, by the
death or removal of parties, who are, more
than all others, competent to furnish im
portant historical and biographical infor
mation.
We will refer to th s matter again, soon.
In the mean time, we are authorized to
say that the Secretary will be glad to open
a correspondence with any person who
may be desirous of furnishing the Society
with facts pertaining to the early settle
ment, or the present situation of any por
tion of the State. Editors are requested
to forward copies of their papers to the
Secretary, or those numbers at least,
which contain descriptions of Towns or
Villages or any statistical or biographical
information of value.
Let us all assist this Institution in every
way possible, and in a few years it will
be of great value to oar citizens and a
credit to the State.
Anti -F hlogistlc Salt.
This is the name of a new aspirant in
the field of materia quackera. Its pre
tensions are unrivalled. It proposes to
do away entirely with the Lancet and blis
tering, by its wonderful power in subdu
ing all inflammatory action. We have
neither *pace, time, nor inclination to enu
merate its proposed uses, or to detail tlie
revolution it is expected to work in the
world of medicine. It may possibly be
applied to "an inflamed state of the pub
lic mind" with success—who knows?—
What a splendid thing "to reduce a Riot,"
or an "Election excitement." A small
quantity applied to the "Seat of Govern
ment" would have a fine effect in cases
where Kansas or the slavery question is
to b$ considered.

says: "Whoever remembers the 27th of

Two conclusions force themselves up
on us upon reading the recital of this poor
child's wrongs. One is, that the people
»f the village of amount to a very
small sum in the scale of humani:y, if
they knew of all this outrageous conduct,
and had not the manliness to apply the
corrective before. The other is, that the
old orthodox doctrine of a brimstone fire
somewhere, ought to be immediately re
vived, for especial application to the two
MOKSTERS who had tho charge of this
child!

ROGER WILLIAMS is a halJ bh»od Black

combination for strength and .*peed cannot be
exceeded. When in yood eoiuiil'.un, he rim

Horse sired "Roger VVilliruis," audI think he
Is one of the beet STOCK COLTS he ever got.'*"

the Pedigree of Roger Williams but it is use
