The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1839-09-05
The Chronicle adds:

The Chronicle adds:
"The three states in which elections
are to be held were represented in the last
congress by nine wings and three admins.
trationists.''
Should there be no change, the wings
will have, according to this calculation, a
majority OF eight. If however we take off
four only for errors to be set down to
party bias, there will be a tie. We have
not seen an administration estimate since
the elections, but suppose it claims ma
jority. The Chronicle says in conclu-
sion, " There will be contests for seven
seats in the next house five in New
Jersey, one in Virginia, and one in Penn
sylvania. To this may be added, g and
one in Illinois, as it is generally under.
stood that Mr.. Douglass will contest the
seat Of Mr.. Stuart, from this district.
! BANK SUsPENsIoNs.-The Burlington
i Iowa Gazette complains that the gov.
Iernment is throwing into market an am.
cunt oflands in that territory, which must
produce great pecuniary distress among
the people. The Gazette does not ap.
pear to understand the motives which
prompt the government to this movement.
I1he first is, to raise money to pay the ap.
preparations for the support Of govern.
|ment amounting to THIRTY SEVEN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS per annum;
and the second is, to produce another
suspension of specie payments by the
Banks, by means of which they hope to
obtain the sanction of law for the Sub
Treasury scheme. The currency OF Iowa
| is principally made up of the paper of the
Illinois Banks. And, be it remembered,
that altho' the government employs the
Chicago Branch Bank for Bank of De-
Iposite, they will not touch dollar of its
paper! They must have the specie OF
the Bank! That collected in Iowa, goes
to St. Louis, and from thence is sent off to
the East-thus crippling the operations OF
our Banks, and paralizing the business of
the country. SANG Journal.
FOREIGN INFLUENCE BEGINNING TO
woRK.-He VII County Election.-We
noticed some proceedings in Juliet on
this subject last week. 1t appears that
the "Canallers' made up ticket for Off
GERS, with the avowed design of controlling
the county. "We'll govern the damned
Yankees for the next four years." was a
fayorite phrase among them. When the
ELECTION took place, sure enough, the ssCa-
nallers'' succeeded. The locos, who had
been hugging them to their bosoms for the
benefit of their votes, for. the last few
years, found the ''Canallers" had set up
| for themselves-at which their indigna-
/ ton was greatly moved. Hence the pub
lie meeting, and the determination to con-
test the election ON the ground that aliens
could not hold Offices. But the loco focos
have sscome it, over their late allies after
all. Some Of tie Poll Books hare been
Stozen!-by which the ssCanallers'' are de.
feated! There is now no further talk of
lcontesting the election.--Ib
An lnrading Army, of four thousand
men, it was not long since said by Can
adam editor, who seems to be the posses
ser of but q trifling amount of brains,
could march through New England,
without encountering any thing like seri-
Gus opposition. And now, Capt. Mary.
att, after a military survey Of Uncle SANS
vast dominions, has arrived at the conclu-
sion that Eat the commencement Of hos
Utilities, it is not improbable that well or
ganized force OF thirty thousand men
might razk through the whole Of the I'm
ion, from Maine to Georgia." We should
like to see such force undertake such a
walk They would find a little the.tal-
