I The Young America labors hard this week, to make out its case, but it cnn’t do it —it has tocome down. Its groans are pitiful indeed; it grieves them much to’ think that the public prefer our word to their oath; but they should not blame u*. they are only judged by the company they keep, and if. bv their endeavors to sustain the reputation of James 11.. they loo*c their own, they have no body but themselves to blame. A« for their article on retrenchment, we will an°wer that next week, and we think we can satisfy, even them, in regard to every chargeweever made against the* countv for work done bv us. We are glad that they have concluded to he econ- ! onitcal so" such a thing never entered i their heads when they had the power to waste. Young America says it is not much interested in the Democratic Primary Election, and cares but little which whips. They should not mt dtile themG Ives then quite so much about it as they do—however, we should expect nothing better from them, they can never tend to their own business while they can find any body vise’s to tend to. ztSTWe would inform Flat Foot that lie had better It nd to his own business and lei ours alone. The Eagle has an eye on him and will tend to his case in due time. If dead men could speak we would I hear something from Monmouth. Pen- 1 pie of doubtful color should not meddle with white folks.

If yon have a nigger wench to accompany you to weddings to lak- ! care of the bahy, let us have a nigger boy to black our boots. Don’t be so selfi.-h —it don't look well tn an editor.

A man who was out last summer and returned about a month ago, has rented out. his farm, up the Des Moines, and with his family and his brother and family, passed through here, yesterday morning, on the way to the mines He; stated that he made from seven to ten dollars per day, when out there.—Keokuk Post. For Pike’s Peak. —A party of eight, being the advance guard of a company of one hun lied, Iron! L-e county, Illinois, arrived in this city Wednesday evening. The whole company goes ad the way over land with horses and wagons. The eight men who arrived here had sixteen horses, with wagons, intending to supply I themselves with provisons and grain in Western lowa.— Burlington Hawkeye.

From the Adrian Expositor, March 3 Mr. Thurston’s Reninins Found nt Last. , Our city was thrown into considerable excitement this morning in consequence ot the arrival of two or three gentlemen from Sylvania, with a part of the remains of the lost Ira J. Thurston, whose tragic late, last summer, is so well remembered by our readers. The facts of the discovery, as ne*r 'as we can ascertain, are these: Last .'•undav, as the son of Michael Hoag was searching lor some sheep in the woods, on •he firm of Mr. S Miner, about 4 miles east ol lhe village ol Sylvania, he discovered the remains of the body of a man — He immediately ran to his lather, who in coinpany'with Mr. Miner, repaired to the spot, and there found abundant evidence that the remains were those of Mr. Thur - lon, who must have fallen born his position on the valve of the balloon, where he was seated when carried off so singularly last summer. These gentlemen immediately proceeded to collect what could he found, but only succeeded in finding the skull, and foot in a boot, and a few other small bones. The rest ot the b >dv ha* been carried of 'by wiki beasts. They found the coat, pants, vest and shirt, and with them Mr Thurston’s cards upon which he took his minutes on his balloon trio from Adrian to the place of landing, near Sylvania The pencil marks on the cards were so water soaked the writing could not be nude out.

They found, however, in a memoranda book a letter directed to Mr Thurston, from a firm in Philadelphia, which was in reply to inquiries about balloon silk. They also found Mr. Thurston’s watch, an I knife both of which are lully identified bv many of our citizens as his pro-p.-r‘y The watch i* unhurt, but stopped at. 2d minutes to 12 o’clock, which shows the 'ime he fell. All the remains of the unfortunate Thurston about whose late there has b‘-en so much solicitude, are now inclosed in a small b 'X. at this offi ie, where we have so often greeted his honest face, and answered his pleasan' salutation in days past What disposition is io be made of thee; we have no' been in'orm.d. Thus ends this tale of peril, an 1 death, and anxiety over his fate, and the discovery of his remains Rit lei" has fate delt with thy body, gallant Thurston: but we tru«t thy nohle soul is at rest b yon 1 futther ostling of terrible death. P. S. The remains have been delivered to the Administrator of Mr. Thurston’s estate.

It would ;be difficult if not impossible, to get a bill i through Congress approving of the above - > act.

State Patronage. The Journal states that from the un- ' willingness of the Republican Legislature to assume the responsibility, “a patronage covering nearly 8150,000 passes into the hands of the Governor.” We have not a particle of doubt btr the Republicans ha<l more confidence in the judgment ot the Governor to appoint officers, which were provided for in the various bill* that were passed bv the Legislature than they had in their own. Their neglect or refusal to make the selections ther.isi Ives, i* ample evidence of lhe corn cin 'SS ol our conclusions. The Governor has, and will, consult and subserve the public "merest* in dispensing the patronage placed in lit* hands bv the Legislature After the abuse the R publicans have unsparingly heaped upon him. we cannot imagine a higher mark of confidence in his integrity ami sagacitv, than that which they have manifested in confi ling to him “a patronage covering nearly 8151.000 ” There i* nn <>l i m ixim that “action* speak lou def- than words,” and the R- publicans in this instance have demonstrated its truth. — State Sen

! A Stumper Stumped —The subjoined anecdote of a candidate for the legislature i of a western State is worth telling: There was a ‘stump speaking,’ an I Ab- , ner had been on the plat iorm enlightening I ‘the unterr'fi'-d* long »tvl loudiv. F»-l low ci 'Z'-ns,' said lie, I n>w come to a i slanderous report, which has been most ! dastardly circulated against me, from one I end ot the country to the olh-r. My enemies, not content with endeavoring to ruin mt political prospects, have assassinlike attempted to Idast mv good name by ; their insitluous reports.’ Abner then stalled what the rumor was, and continued: I rejoice, fellow citizen*, to have il in mv power instantly to fasten the lie upon i this malicious and atrocious slander.— I see among you . ne of the most e«tima ble citizens of this county, whose charac- | ter for truth and integrity is above question Squire Schooler, to whom I allude is acquainted withall the facts, / nd I call lon him here to sav whether this rumor is | true or false. I pause for reply ’ — Wherupon Squire Schooler slowly arose and in his strong, slow and sonorous voice, said I rather think you did it. Ab m rl’ ‘You ohl scoundrel!’ exclaimed Ibner. ‘why do you interrupt me while I'm diseU'sjng great constitutional qu‘-s---lions, with your low personalities?’ And he accompanied this objurgatory excla- , mation with such a 'surge* of gesticulations that he stepped back heyond the platform. fell b-aekw .rd on a big dog, amid the howls of which, and the deafening roars of ihe‘sovereigns’ the meeting was f effectually broken up.

The New Hampshire Flection Notwithstanding the Buchanan men in New Hampshire as in Illinois voted with the Black Republicans to a man. the D<-m---ocra’ic ticket, was defeated by a very small majority.

Who Should Go to Pikes Peck?— ti, Leavenworth Ledger of the 17th ult, We often hear young men, who nev.-r did any hard work in their lives, ih||j about going to Pike’s Peak.
