NEr van Bures,,s Last Card.

Since the detection of the Great Loco
.Foco Conspiracy, an attempt has been
made by the Van Buren, Papers through
out the Country to cover up their infa.
my, by charging the Wings with having
committed various political offences. All
they have proved is that some Of the
Wings in New York had employed indi-
viduals to come from Philadelphia and
overlook the polls, in order to preuent H.
legal uoting. This was praiseworthy.
The Wings had heard that illegal voters
had been bought upin Philadelphia for
the purpose Of voting the loco foco ticket
in New York, and that these hirelings
had actually voted more than once under
such auspices; and they were determined
10 put stop to this illegitimate use of the
elective franchise. Instead of co-operat-
ing in this laudable undertaking, the office
holders in New York attempted TO make
such use of the circumstance as to turn i
to the advantage Of their own party, by
y r
The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1840-11-26
MR.. MILLER.

This gentleman received his full share
of abuse in the last Gazette. This was
to have been expected. We defy any
man, however pure may be his motives,
to place himself in opposition to that con-
Germ OF any of its favorites, and escape
being bedaubed with due portion of
its filth. Some philosopher has said that
the man who has no friends in this world
is badly off, but he is worse off who has
no enemies. We consider abuse from
the Gazette a better recommendation
than the applause of many friends. The
various attacks on Mr. Miller will have
no other effect than to raise him in the
esteem of his friends and lead them to
have far more confidence in his talents
and proves than they had before. The
vote which he received from the people
Of Lee County is sure index of their
regard to his worth, and such remarks
as appear against him in the Gazette,
as they were i'll timed and uncalled for,
will only exasperate his constituents and
lead them to be less favorably disposed
towards the Gazette and its friends than
they have been heretofore. Mr. M. has
large number of friends among those
who make no pretensions to being wings,
and they will be among the last to see
him abused with impunity. We have
reason to believe that there are many
who are envious of the growing popu-
larity of Mr. Miller and are anxious to
place him in the shade; in making the
Gazette vehicle to accomplish this OBJ
ject. they have frustrated their own de-.
