and his speech was re- with enthusiastic applause When ho concluded J C Hall Esq Democratic pro very candidate for elector for Iowa arose and took issue with Mr on the points he had and after speaking for forty minutes announced that a Democratic meeting would be held at the same place tne next evening when he would address the people on the questions ia issue Mr M rejoined for about thirty minutes and ibe meeting adjourned for that evening The evening the was again ed to listen to the address of Col Hall He for about one hour fuid forty minutes in his able and effective manner He labored hia side with much ingenuity and with all the vehemence of gesture and he could com- mand and at times waa cheered with very warm applause When he had concluded Mr Miller followed him in a close speech for nearly an hour in which according to the opinion of many he completely demolished all his antagonist had paid Mr Miller having an- swered Mr Hall went on to remark that as this was a Democratic meeting Col Hall could not consistently refuse to allow a vote then to be taken on the merits of their respective ments He would take a vote on the truth or falsity ofthe positions assumed and argued by Col Hall and all who thought Col Hall had maintained his position in regard to the Louisi ana purchase would say This was replied to by about ele en votes The vote was then taken on the negative and carried by a heavy vote say 150 votes or more Mr Miller in like manner took votes on other points which resulted equally unfavorable to tiie cause Mr M also took a vote which can led almost unanimously changing the name of those who favored or was willing slavery should go into from Democrats and whigs to that of Woolly heads He said he w as in favor of calling things by their right name The Republicans were in vor of Kansas being settled by white men and not negroes either slave or free but that tho other side loved the smell and fuel qf wool so much that they threatened to dissolve the Union unless they were permitted to carry their gers with them He therefore maintained the Republicans should be called the straight qr Hairy and the other side the ly heads or headed Finally Mr M concluded by calling for three cheers for the Republican cause which was given and then three more for the ad- mission of Kansas with her free State constitution which was carried with a storm of applause After Mr M had concluded Col Hall arose much agitated and suid if the meeting were fied with the speech of Mr M he was sure he WAS and would nqt COMPLAIN and that Mr would Mr M next evening Next evening Mr bored the meeting with a two hours rambling harangue consisting chiefly of a personal character defining his own position and denunciatory of Mr M and others on the Republican side He endeavored before he concluded to excite the religious feelings of hearers by insisting that negro slavery in the U S is a Divine institution and is the menus re- sorted to by Providence to Christianize Some of his personalities called out in reply Mr Lowrie a young lawyer of decided abilities from who in a few well timed shots knocked the wool from Mr back Mr K re- joined and was telling a smutty story of had occurred in his the Insane lum of Maryland some years ago when Mr plc of Lee County propounded a remark to him which floored him and brought down the house in such roars of laughter and cheers that could not say another to be heard and the meeting moved him alone in the speakers stand Most of the fejt sorry that Mr K who is possessed of such good natural abilities should have joined hands with the heads and thereby exposed himself to such discomfiture and mortification The next evening after very able Republican addresses were made by Messrs R L B Clarke and F

intended to portray the evils hat beset the path ol woman iu And the author has exhibited much ability not only in the well arranged plot but in a high wrought and well sustained style of composition

squares south of the site of the old Rolling Mill caught fire and in less than half an hour tho whole structure was in a mass of ruins The mill had been in operation about a year and be- longed to an incorporated company composed of about thirty persons William Hassinger President nnd William Thomas Secretary nnd Treasurer The fire originate d from the ness of one of the hands employed about the loss cannot be accurately ascertained yet but is between eight and ten thousand lars The only property saved 800 barrels of rosin gy Some have sent back to the mailing office letters that were pre-paid by ey and not by stamps The Postmaster General says this wrong If an unpaid letter from any cause gets into the mail and reaches tion it should be delivered on payment of tage at the pre-paid a postmaster pens not to have stamps he must take cash as heretofore Our Eastern exchanges arti giving the preference many of them to the Rock Island and City route over all others to Kanau and Nebraska In this matter an of distances and the Geography of Iowa ia We think we can show that the Burlington route is the nearest aud the best Kirsty M to distance From Chicago to Rock Island Rock to Iowa City 66 Iowa Council Bluffs Total distance 477 from Chicago to Council Bluffs via Rock Island From Chicago to Burlington 210 miles Burlington to New London 19 New London to Coun Bluffs From Chicago to Council Bluffs 461 via Burlington It will be seen by tho above that the route through Burlington JH nearer by 26 miles and haa eighteen miles less staging than the Rock and route And it has this further the contractors arc putting down the iron as fast as possible and daily reducing the amount of staging to be gone over The fact that Iowa City and Burlington are about from Council Bluffs and that Burlington is 27 miles nearer Chicago than the former city establishes ours aa decidedly the route And with the further advantage of a daily reduction in staging and an early com- of tho Road to Mt Pleasant ours must become when the facts are generally known tho route And when the commercial reports of ton and Keokuk for the last year arc made up it will be readily discovered that Southern Iowa is the garden of the State far outstripping all other portions in the amount of her in the amount of trade nnd commerce When the amount of the provision and grain trade of those two cities nil drawn from the southern counties of the state are made up idea can then be formed of the business of the lington and Missouri Rivor Railroad when it shall approach completion Burlington is now the third city in the Union in the amount of the hog crop which finds a market hero Last son we surpassed St Louis in number of hogs and shipped by over fifteen thousand jumping from up to in a singlo year The completion of our Road to the rich valley of tho DCS must be productive of still greater results These considerations give the Burlington route the preference with capitalists They render it

and Nor were leaden ever chosen with more wisdom considering the peculiarity of their relations to this predominant issue Mr Ranks WM a man of the people who had risen by his own from an humble mechanical occupation to a high political office while Mr Aiken WM a slaveholder one ofthe wealthiest class endowed with all the better qualities of that class and as sincere M bo WAS strong In his geographical convictions Mr Banks sented the State of the best example of a free condition of society to be found on the face of the earth while Mr Aiken represented South distinguished as the ablest exponent of both the opinions and influences of tho In their champions therefore the two social terns of tho and Sou A were pitted against each other nnd for the first time so openly and directly in the history of our national existence In the same way the nation in the midst of the parties and tho agitations by which it is recognises the fundamental und vital question to be that of slavery Wink it out of as wo may or complicate it as we may it cannot be disguised that slavery ia tho single real element of parly divisions Openly or cretly are fiercely at about this ter ancient has been sundered by it and their members in forming new party tics are almost exclusively controlled by it The first condition they enact before joining any body is that think thus and so of the slavery question But what What the real issue at the bottom of the excitement which gathers about this word slavery as a Let us answer in tho first place that it is not a question as to the of slavery in itself or rather in its adaptation to those in which it already exists With the exception of a certain class of who conceive it their duty to wage war against every form of what they injustice where we know of no class in this country who wish to interfere with these communities At any rate there is no distinct or formidable ical party professing such an object A great many individuals at the North M freemen not indifferent to the cause of humanity claim the right to consider and society just as they do the various societies of Europe and Asia But tho great body of the people any aggressive disposition beyond that aud are willing to leave the practical ment of slavery in the States to those who know its evils and are to presumed beat able to devise a remedy What concerns them ly and exclusively is tho relation of slavery to their own interests and responsibilities It might be conceded that the peculiar socialism of the South is the best for it under the circum- stances that human wisdom can conceive or that it has the divine equally beneficial to the white aud black races without touching the marrow of our public dispute For the real question let us remark in the second place out of the struggle of two incompatible orders of civilization for the tery of a common field It has fallen to lot of this country to make tho attempt to erate a of states separated by two distinct social systems and though the attempt is not impracticable in itself nor was it impracticable under the original conditions nor ia it yet im- practicable could these conditions be adhered to actual working of the experiment has de- a broad and serious antagonism The evidences of a latent difference have appeared from time to time from the beginning but they were adjusted by our wise statesmen of the past M they appeared on tho principle of peaceful compromise In a late fatal and perfidious hour however that principle WM flung to the and the elements of discord left to the chance
