For the Hawke Eye and Patriot.
FOURTH OF JULY AT MOUNT
PHEASANT


The glorious anniversary Of our Ma
tlonal independence was celebrated very
appropriately by several of the enterpriz-
ing aud patriotic farmers of Henry coun-
ty, in conjunction with the citizens of
Mount Pleasant. The company assem-
bledat the camp ground, about three miles
from Mount Pleasant. The throne Of
grace was addressed by II. Robb; after
which the declaration Of independence
was read by James Walters, accompanied
by some appropriate remarks. The COM
pany were then entertained by an excel
lent Grafton by Mr. Daniel Bates, which
have since heard with regret, he refuses
to publish; one Of the leading principles
which was inculcated and forcibly illus
trated by the orator was, that the most eff
fecsive way of preserving and transmitting
unimpaired to our posterity, the glorious
liberty we have inherited from our faith
ers, is to make education universal.
After the Grafton was delivered, the
company retired a short distance to
pleasant valley where, by the liberality of
the citizens. table that seated two hun
dred was abundantly supplied with the
good things Of the country. This table
was three times filled-so you see, Mr.
Editor, that about 600 persons, at least,
were present; and no inconsiderable por-
ton of that number were composed of
heavens last best gift to man. lovely
woman. The old thirteen were re-
presented by thirteen as lovely girls as
you could have wished to see; and the
writer of this sketch could not avoid
thinking, that if our fathers had have had
such a representation at the foreign courts
in the days of our revolution, that all the
chivalry of Europe would have rushed to
the rescue. The expression of gentle
man who has but recently came from a
State far east of US, will convey to your
mind better idea of our celebration than
any thing I can say. He observed, when
looking at the company, 81 had no idea
of seeing such an exhibition of polished
| life so far back in the western wilds = |
could not help myself exclaiming, as
viewed the crowd, "where will this An
CLOS Saxon race stop" l think even Old
England herself must be proud of being
called the " mother" of such country
and Of such race. After the cloth was
removed, number Of patriotic sentiments
were drank, if not with hard cider, with
a drink called melheglin; there was also
wine on the table. As far as was con.
cerned, | took my part Of that ceremony
out in colt ssater. The toasts will, no
doubt, be communicated to you by the
proper officers. Permit me to subscribe
myself we'll wisher to all Hawkeyes,
and particularly so of
THE HAWK-EYE.
The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1840-07-23
LOG CABINS.

Mr. Van Buren, seems to be as much a
Harmed at the cabins as Macbeth was at
the approach of Burnam wood to the Kin
derhook Macbeth; and we doubt not that
the ruined condition of the country some
times rises to his mind even when at his
gold spoon banquets, like the ghost of the

Whereas, we had fondly INDUCED the
hope that the two political parties of our
Territory would continue to conduct all
elections for officers, both Territorial and
county, without regard to party, and sole
ly with view to public good; but, mas
much as our most earnest wishes and de-

by the recent calls of the Democratic
party Of various public meetings through
out the Territory, to appoint delegates to
attend the convention holden at Bloom
ington, to nominate Delegate to Con-

gentlemen be appointed delegates to at

fifth Wednesday of the present month.
viz: DR. E. Bliss, jr., L. w. Hastings, C.
S. Foster, VIM Mccormick and Josenh

Resolved, That it is our privilege and
imperative duty, as free American citi-

press our political opinions, and to meet
our opponents in the commencement of
their efforts to establish a party line in
our happy and prosperous Territory; and
tEat we will use all honorable means to
lnculcate and establish sound, pure and
liberal Democratic e, Wing principles.
Resolved, That we regard the efforts Of
the friends Of the party in power to sus-
tain their cause as unprecedented and an
