The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1840-04-09

S The following sentiments, expressed
/ BY the Wing candidate for the next Presl-
dency, for we should rather say, the can
didate Of the People, with scarcely re-
ference to partisan lines,) deserve to be
written in letters of gold. They occur
at the close OF communication addressed
to the editor of the Cincinnati lnqulsI.
tor, in September, lS22:-fh,iadelph'a

81 believe that upon the preservation
of the Union of the States depends the
existence of our civil and religious liber-
ties; and that the cement which binds it
together is not parcel of words written
upon paper or parchment, but the broth
erly love and regard which the citizens
of the several States possess for each
other. Destroy this, and the beautiful
fabric which was reared and embellished
by our ancestors crumbles into ruins.
From its disjoin,ed parts no temple OF
liberty will again be reared. DIscord
and wars will succeed to peace and har-
mony-barbarism will again overspread
the land; or, what is scarcely better,
some kingly tyrant viii promulgate the
DEGREES of his will, and from the seat
where a Washington and Jefferson dis
pensed the blessings Of a free and equal
Government. believe it, therefore, to
be the duty of Representative to con-
ciliate, by every possible means. the.
members of our great political family,
and always to bear in mind that, as the
Union was effected only by a spirit Of
mutual concession. and forbearance, so
only can it be preserved.

INDIAN MuRDER.-We learn from the
Calhoun County Patriot, that man was
murdered 4in Kalamazoo county, Michi-
gan, few days since. An Indian and
his Squaw called at house snd requested
the privilege Of remaining over night.
The request was granted, and after the
family had retired, the Indian proceeded
to the bed room of the man of the house,
and stabbed him in the temple with a
knife, which caused instant death. He
then attempted to Kill the mans wife, but
discovering young lad running for the
neighbours. the Indian pursued him, and
left the woman. The boy alarmed the
neighbors, and they Immediately pursued
and captured the Indian. He is now in
the Kalamazoo county Jail.
AMERICAN CouRrsHIp.- must be
an everlas,ln fine country, beyond all
doubt. for the folks have no,hin to do bu,
to ride about and talk politics. In win
ter, when the ground is covered with snow,
wha! grand times they have slayin over
these here mashes with the gals, or playin
ball on the ice, or goin TO quiltin frolics
of nice, long winter evenings, and then a
driven home like mad by moonlight. Ma
ture made that season on purpose for cour-
tin. A little, tidy scrumptous lookin Stay,
real clipper of horse, a string Of bells
as long as string of inions round his
neck, and sprig on his back, lookin for
all the world like bunch of apples at
gathern time, and a sweetheart alongside,
all ruffled up but her eyes and lips-the
one lookin right into you, and the other
talkin right at you-is eenamost enough

with pleasure, amt it? And then the dear
critters say the bells make such din
there's no hearin ones selfspeak; so they
put their pretty little mugs up close to your
face, and talk, talk, till one can't help
lookin right at them instead of the horse,
and then whip you both go capsized into
a snow-drift together, skins, cushions
and all. And then see the little critter
shake herself when she gets up, like a
duck landin from pond, chatterin away
all the time like canary bird, and you a
haw-hawin with pleasure, is fun alive,
you may depend. In this way a Teller
gets led on TO offer himself as lower
afore he knows where he bees.-S. Slick.
