a Voice from Philadelphia.

We find the following cheering paragraph
in the United States Gazette: 1--WE notice that
some of our country friends speak as if they
thought that the city was cool or Indifferent to-
wards the election of Governor. We beg
our friends to dismiss such ideas. The Wings
of Philadelphia are sensible TO their political
duties, aad will assuredIy perform them. Let
the country do what it did last fall, and ii did
wonders, and we will answer for Phiadelp phia.'

ELECTION FRAUDS.

We have list of ninety names that
voted at the late election in this town, all
of whom, by the strictest scrutiny are
pronounced illegal voters. 1t has been
ascertained that not more than ten Of these
voted the Wing ticket. 1t is admitted
that several wings from local predilec.
tons and pledges made previous to the
making up the whig ticket, voted for the
loco foco candidate for Mayor. His ma
jorty was but 60, being more than any
of the other loco foco candidates. 1t can
thus be clearly shown that apart from
illegal voters, the Wings have a decided
majority in this City. Several who
voted on the day of the election reside
miles from this place, and some live in
Illinois. The investigation has exhibit
ed mass of political corruption on the
part of the loco focos that is truly astoun-
ding. We may publish some of the tes-
timony hereafter. The names of the
illegal voters can be seen by applying IL

For the Ha wkeye and Patriot.

Mr. Editor-The BANNER COUN.
TY is in motion. The first to set the
ball of Wing principles in motion in this
Territory at the last campaign, she is
now ready to 60 as far as who goes far
thest in sustaining the position she then
took. Louisa County claims the banner.
and means to deserve it by throwing at
the next election a larger whig majority
in proportion to her population than any
other county in the Territory. And she
throws the "glove" at each and every
county, and especially at patriotic Henry.
The Wings held meeting at the Court
House in Wapello, on the 9Th inst, for
the purpose of choosing a Democratic
Wing County Committee, and delegate
to attend the Territorial Convention
which is to be held at Davenport in May
next, and to adopt other measures with
view to an organization. The finest
spirit pervaded the meeting, and their
proceedings were characterised by the ut
most harmony. If The Wings do not ef-
feet complete revolution in the political
complexion of the Territory at the next
election, depend upon it, Sir, it will not
be the fault of Louisa. The heart of
the Territory, her pulsations will beat, at
the August election, one hundred strong.

At meeting of the rippecanoe Club
of Burlington, on Monday evening last,
the following resolutions were offered by
Mr. Brads,reet, and unanimously adop-
ted -
Resolced, That the course adopted by
the Conductors Of the Gazette in attempt
ing to ridicule the Wing press in this city
has resulted in exhibiting themsetues--
in manner unbecoming the editors of
public press. and justly merits the disap,
probation of free and honorable people.
Resolred, That if similar course, by
way OF retaliation, were manifested by the
Wing press corresponding with that ex
hib tied in the last number of the Gazette
it would have a tendency to prostitute it:
elevated character, demoralize its princi
Piles and destroy its influence.
RESOLVED, That the Gazette is unwor

Democratic Wing party.

Some three pr four weeks since, that
paper, giving a too credulous ear to the
tales of rumor, and that if Gov. Lucas did

1t was doubtless the privilege of the He
raid to adopt such course, if it saw fit.
But whether it was proper and fair to do
SO is another question.
Gov. Lucas was willing to be tested by
his acts, and by his past political life
Is there any thing in his acts, as Governor
of this Territory, contrary to the doctrines
of democracy? Is there an act of his
past life that identifies him with federal
principles, or with the federal party?-
No,-his democracy is built on rock
time itself has not been able to shake it.
Conscious of all this, he does not feel
called upon on all occasions, whenever a
silly and groundless rumor is put in cir
cuation against him, to enter a disclaim-
er, and make new professions of faith
Men of his advanced age and long service
in the democratic cause very naturally
and very properly feel a repugnance to
engaging in round of continued profess
sions and explanations-justly supposing
that consistent devotion to a cause,
through a long life of public service,
would be the best guaranty of his unyield-
ing integrity.
1t would indeed be hard if every public
man, without regard to age, service or
station. should be compelled to stand at
the corners of the streets, from morning
till night, TO correct every idle report
which might be invented and put into
circulation against him by industrious and
designing enemies. He would soon find
his whole time consumed in the unprof-
table task of fighting against invisible foes
and in correcting their ISLANDERS.
Hence it was, that Gov. Lucas prefer
red to leave the false reports against him
self TO the quiet judgment Of the people,
rather than to court notoriety by contin-
ually calling public attention to his deni-
ais. 1t is for the public to judge whether
he has pursued the proper course.
We can state, and do state, on authori-
ty, that Gov. Lucas has not joined, nor
does he intend to join, the federal party,
IN aay shape, form or ma'aner--and that
he would as soon think of cutting off his
head as of identifying himself with thai
party in any respect wha,ever-all re-
ported conversations to the contrary not
withstanding.
Confident that our friends of the He.
raid intended 10 injustice, but that, in
their zeal for good cause, they were led
into error by the whisperings of some OF
the Governors enemies, we have no doubt
they will be as prompt to correct the mis-
take as they were 10 expose the supposed
treason.

PUBLIC PROPERTY.

We are surprised to see so little said in
the papers about the sacrifice of public
property that has been made at the in
stance of President Van Buren,. We
say nothing about what was done al
Chicago and other places on the Lakes,
but we know that after the Engineer had
reported that the clearing of the Rapids
could be accomplished, and after the
government had gone to great expense in
the purchase of Steam Boat, several
keel and other boats, together with the
necessary implements, orders came to
sell the whole at auction. Every thing
was sold! but it brought mere song,
hardly enough to pay the Engineers
salary. We hope these doings will be
enquired into.

OPINIONS OF THE BRITISH

Globe and its satellites
are quoting such paragraphs from the
British newspapers as they think will Gre
ate the impression that the election of
Gen. Harrison is very congenial to the
feelings of the people of that country, gen.
orally. If this was an honest and sincere
jealousy it would be laudable; but it is
not. The party Of which the Globe is the
organ, is determined to make Gen. Har-
rison's Administration so unpopular, that
the defeat of the next legitimately demo-
cratic candidate shall be inevitable, if pos
sible. There course is understood. The
mask has been removed from their de-
formed faces and all their pretensions to
democracy and love of country will in fu.
ture be looked upon as hollow hearted
and hypocritical. If their success depend
ed on selling their country and making
the people slaves, if they could by so do
ing perpetuate their power, we have no
better opinion of the majority Of the lead
ers of the loco foco party, than to believe
that they would not sickle at the price.
We believe the day of Humbug is past.
The people are too intelligent to be gulled
by the one last started. They know that
in England, as we'll as in this country,
there are two parties. If this question
must come up, all they need is to see
both sides. The Globe and its little sat-
elites publish but one side, that they may
infame the people; we publish both, and
are willing the people should form their
own opinions. We think they will say
tina: the game is hardly worth the powder.
Garbled portions of the first paragraph
which follows, from the London Herald
have been published in the loco foco pa
pers, accompanied with inaammatory, re-
marks and staring capitals and with the
evident intention of leaving the impression
that all this was the unanimous opinion of
the British press. To answer their own
ends they refuse to publish such articles
as the one we take from the British Stan
dard. Will not the people will not ev-
cry true patriot condemn the course of

the weakness of their cause in thus being
obliged TO quote the opinions of foreign
journals 10 effect their object. AS Amer
leans we know our own business, and
need no instruction from foreign newspa-
pers to form a judgment in relation to the
characters and qualifications of our public
men.

1t seems that Governor Lucas has been
