Judge %. w. WRIGHT,
Dear SRI planted last year one Of my
fields with seed corn which / had procured
from you, and although the season was uncoIn-
monty dry, the drought lasting between three
and four months, the field produced at least
forty bushels to the acre. IneveF raised such
corn as that produced from your seed. Most
Of the stalks had two ears have measured
some Of the ears, picked up without selection
and many Of them are from 10 to Ii inches in
length, having from IA to % rows ofgrain.
Ihave no doubt that ID an ordinary season
q field planted with your seed es=a would aro-
duce more BY one than if planted with the
common corn.
Yours with esteem,

The Iowa patriot. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1839-1839, 1839-06-27

public agents or conductors Of public
Journal would have appeared in the col
umns Of the Patriot, had they not them
selves compelled US to perform this dis
agreeable duty. And when we did ex-
pose them, was any desire apparent OH
our part to do them personal injury, or
to raise popular prejudice against them?
Far from it. We might, for instance, in
making our statement concerning the
printing of the laws, have clothed that
statement in such language as would have
awakened the popular Indignation against
them. We could have done this most
consistently, for they had made libel
lous charge against us in relation to the
matter which had an immediate tendency
to injure our business in which everv man
is protected by the Constitution; but we
chose rather to give plain history Of the
facts in the case, which we knew they
could not, neither have they attempted to
deny. In short we have exercised to-
wards them a good natured forbearance
which we believe this community will
appreciate. We tell the editors Of the
Gazette that. their course too, is also ap.
preciated by this community THAT the
people have too much regard for their
character to let such paper as the Ga
zette, much longer be considered as the
representative Of their views and feelings
especially since the editors have de-
clared themselves under no obligations to
the people for their support. Their
mock independence cannot last long, al
though their mock democracy may.
The Iowa patriot. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1839-1839, 1839-06-27

We tender our thanks to Captain
THRocKMoRToN Of the Steamer Malta,
and Capt. HARR1s of the Steamer Pizar-
70, for their attention in bringing US late
papers. We wish all other captains
were as thoughtful as these and few
other gentlemen. who SO frequently land
freight at Burlington, and would reserve
but single late paper for the Patriot.
They should i'll nowise lose. their ward.
The communication of ssCornelius'' is
a poser. Il is rather severe, but the men
dacity shown by the editor of the Gazette
throughout this whole controversy called
for this kind Of castigation.
The descriptive and well written letters
lin our present and last numbers, are well
worth preserving. They will be contin.
Iued.

The Iowa patriot. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1839-1839, 1839-06-27

HE illlberal and ungentlemanly, not to
say mean and contemplate, course the
senior editor of the Iowa Territorial Gaz-
cite has adopted to prejudice this commu-
nifty against US was hardly to have been
expected from one who makes such hioh
pretensions to gentility and prides him
self SO much upon his association with
genteel society. He must certainly be
very slow in learning the rules generally
observed IN such society, or the ethical
standard must be graduated in the "cir-
cle' in which he moves on scale an
proximating much nearer to Billingsgate
scholarship, than to that taught by the DO.
lite Chesterfield.
with the superstition that we had gen.
tlemanly opponents to deal with, we sta.
ted in the first number Of the Patriot what
would be the general course BY which we
should be governed. And although we
placed too high an estimate On the char.
acter Of our opponents in this-we hope
solitary instance, we shall not, on this
account be diverted from our prescribed
course, Or step aside to hurl back upon the
Gazette its own gross and vulgar epithets.
No. five have found instead of a fair
reciprocity Of courtesy, vindictye and
gratuitous abuse, we entertain no other
feeling for those who make such return
than the utmost 4 pity, knowing that the
spirit which acmates their conduct must
make them exceedingly unhappy.
Vi We have given them no cause for tht
treatment we have received al their hand.
\ we 4, made no attack upon them and no
thing dtsrogatory to their character a
