v,ed fot wan, Of due consideration Of the

with a few years II has been customary

and formed into a hard cake in the siom-
We believe this practice is now wholly a.
ssdoned There is very prevalent idea
al tvs injurious To give grain to the animal
aen he Is warm. Now we have never known
injury to arise from this practice. There is
more danger OF injury 10 the horse than 10
|1elycs by eating barty meal when warm.

kIn that kills the horse. and we venture Il
Bert that moi an instance can be shown II
ilch he has sustained injury from eating
aln merely because he was warm. People
ould reflect, and reason more on this sub
Ict
Horses that travel and labor violently, as il
pges and fast chaises, should eat their grail
night. When laboring moderately on
I'm II is not SO material when their hearties
pd is given, for horses are not liable TO b.
ured in any gear when they are only driv
on the walk
But we have known many men, prudent il
81 matters, yet guilty of s,ufiing their horse
% grain in the morning, just before siartin,
journey! They gave no grain the nigh
nre, reserving for the starting houl tn
ariest food for the beast.
On journey we have long been in th
BIZ Of giving our horse grain at night. w,
c i, as soon as he is rubbed down and pu
he stable, and we have never found it inj ur
him.
How absurd to let your horse stand 70
ors, after violent exercise, to chop up hi
10 fodder and attempt TO appease his hunge
hay--often poor hay, not fit to be fed out t
ing cattle.
Give the horse a half bushel of oats or

We give place to the following notice for 4
meeting, called for the purpose Of taking into
consideration "ihe condition Of our common
schools. The subject of sufficient importance to
command the earnest and immedia attention Of
the whole community. II is not enough that our
Colleges and high schools are scared for by the
wealthy portion Of the people, and such as are
well educated Common Schools have also Just
claim ION the same care, as being Of vastly more
importance 10 much the largest portion of the ris
ing generation. We say, take care Of the COM
mon schools and the colleges and high schools
will take care of themselves. The best way to
"banish the demagogue" from our territory. is to
educate the whole community, and this can only
be done through the common school

OF the country mainly attributable to the
ru!nous measures Of the administration.

troll over the monies Of the Treasury other
than those appropriated by law.
RESOLVED, That the plan for organizing
the militia recommended by the present

constitutional and just principles should

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
For the Hawk Eye and Patriot.

=
Mr. Edwards-Through the columns of
your paper, l wish to communicate to the
public few remarks in relation to the
present condition, as we'll as the future
prosects, of the county of Van Buren,,
Iowa Territory. Van Buren, is situated
in the extreme south of the territory. Des-
MONIES river enters Van Buren, near her
north west corner, running in nearly a
south east direction, and leaving said CO.
at or near its south east corner. The Des-
moines affords almost an incalculable
amount of hydraulic power; is from IS to
40 rods wide, and sometimes wider: and
has never been known to overflow her
banks. There are many small streams
that make their way to the noble Des-
moines. III Or b ia! aE
Van Buren, county contains about 3O9,-
900 acres Of land, most Of which is sus-
ceptible Of cultivation, and is finely inter-
spersed with groves of timber !; l presume
no county in the territory combines more
natural advantages. Her soil is extreme
ly fertile indeed. Van Buren, has popu.
lation of more than 5000 souls, and is
rapidly on the increase. She also con-
tains 1856 head of horses, with 5222
head of cattle. This speaks loudly in be-
half of the enterprise of her citizens.
There are twelve grist and saw mills in
said county. The above items have been
taken from actual observation by me.

ed committee to select another commit.
tee, composed Of citizens from the several
precincts in the county, to report 10 the
meeting list Of candidates to be support.
cd Tor Territorial and county officers
The above committee having retired,
] FRANCIS SPRINGER, Esq. being called
upon to address the meeting, took the
stand. and responded to the call in a
speech which occupied the attention ol
the meeting for upwards Of an hour. He
commenced by taking brief survey Of
our Territorial affairs, remarkine that the
true interests oflhe Territory were scarce
y to be looked for in violent party con-
tests-that the Territory was not vet old
enough or strong enough to encounter the
rough shocks Of political party strife
that the present attitude Of the Harrison
democracy in the Territory was not Of
their own choosing-that it had been
forced upon them by the supporters Of
Martin Van Buren,; and that while they
might regret the necessity which impelled
them to their present position. he trusted
