YOUNG IowA.-The following account
of the vigorous growth of the youngest
Territory ofthc Union, and its hattering
prospects as regards the future, is copied
from the paper published at Burlington To-
wa) by the original title of "The Hawk
eye," under date of October II:
"OuR TERRlToY. All who feel interest
cd in the infant Territory, cannot be 9th
erwise than gratifed to see the great num-
ber Of emigrants who are rushing into it
from all quarters. Every steamboat that
stems the Great Father of Waters to this
and the points above us, comes laden with
this kind of produce from other countries,
and from other States. They ale pouring
in upon us, by the way OF Northern and
Eastern Illinois, in such Numbers that the
shore opposite to this place almost contin.
ually presents the appearance of large ar
my with its prancing steeds and heavy bag
gage wagons, Notwithstanding the steam
terry-boat is continually thinning Its ranks.
We are informed by travellers that the lea
ding roads from Ohio and Indiana were
crowded with emigrants all bound for Iowa.
Had we no other than selfish feelings, we
should bid them welcome, for their coming
will add not only to the numerical strength
but to the wealth of the Territory. But we
welcome them on another account. We
sincerely believe that the condition oftheir
families, will be bettered. There is land
enough and to spare.
"The whole Territory is now full of
strangers. Our city has become a perfect
Gotham, as emigrants from every State,
and, in fuct, from every civilized coun-
try on the globe, are focking In clouds to
our place!

animation of testimony and the argument OF

burst Of applause, which however improper
it may be cosidered in q court of Justice,
spoke loudly for their sympathy and feeling

The New York Star states that "com-
mercial events have induced Mr.. Calhoun
to change, in measure, his former views
in relation to the Tariff policy of Mr..
Clay"
However strongly Mr.. Calhoun, or any
other statesman may be in favor of free
trade, surely no man in his right senses can
advocate, for e momcnt the carrying on OF
a trade in which there is freedom on one
side, and restriction and protection on the
other, as is the case between this country
and England. Nothing but the fear of fam
inc can open the ports of England to the
corn of the United States: while the Amer
lean ports are thrown open to the ingress
of immense quantities of the cheap-labor
fabrics of the mother country, to drain us
of our specie, keep the balance of trade
against US, check the growth Of our manu-
factures, and continue America in state
Of pupilage to England.
