The Club Room was well filled last

The Resolutions will be found in to.

short and cursory view Of all the great
principles Of the Wings; and then
spoke of the loco principles q which
last he demonstrated to be every thing
versus what the Wings advocated, and
nothing more. Some of his remarks
were very whitening and made the
locos vince "a few." Mr. STOCKTON

HENRY COUNTY MEETING.

The Gazette man almost cries Il
think the Henry county meeting didn
come out just as he anticipated. HI
seems wonderfully concerned to think
the proceedings were SO long in making
their appearance-that they were a
mere skeleton Of proceedings-and he
grumbles TO think they were put in so
obscure place as..in the outside of the
Hawk-Eye. We feel no disposition to
crafty the Gazette by an explanation,
but for the information of our friends
IN Henry we will say that the notice
Of the Proceedings came to hand in sea-
son for our paper Of week before last
and that it was In type, but owing to a
press OF other matter i. was crowded
out. We were sick and unable to give
any orders about the manner in which
the article was to be disposed of when
1t did 60 in. As to the Gazette's cavil
about the brevity of the notice, we have
nothing to say, only that it is a way
the wings have Of doing up things
AL the wings want is to state facts
This they did. But the locos are no,
so; when they have meeting they
make great blow about il. and swell
their proceedings 10 an enormous
length. A specimen may be seen Of
this in the last Gazette.
Hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1843-1845, 1844-06-20
LOOK OUr!

We have felt considerable interest,
since the arrival Of the news OF the
democratic nominations, to see what the
Globe, Argus and other papers would
say concerning them. The leading To-
CO papers insisted SO strenuously up
on tine nomination of Van Buren, and
many of them were so confident Of his
being successful, that, we believe, they
committed themselves in several in
stances. And we also believe we are
not wrong in saying that several of the
lesser lumina-ies were not behind the
larger lights in this respect. The Ga
zette was an advocate Of Annexation
before Van Buren's letter appeared.
When that arrived, it veered due North,
and, Of course, many of the party in
the parts changed also.
"Nith pack horse constancy they keep
the road
Crooked or strait through quags or thorny
dels,
True to the jngling o: their leaders BELLS"
Here we see another specimen of the
"principles not men" doctrine of the
loco focos; alias, No. 2 of tine grand
democratic principles so beautifully,
eloquensly and forcibly" argued at the
late convention in this place. We call
this Observation-Disclosures ofthe Gazette
the very antipodes Of this much.vaunt-
ed principle. But now, Van Buren, is
off the track, and Southerner is in the
field who favors annexation. So. the
last Gazette comes out with an editori.
alin this wise, having hand pre6xed.
thereby calling particular attention
thers,o:) "Mr Polk is strong friend to
the annexation of Texas. We will
publish letter from him on the sub.
iect next week." Of course, the next
bearing of the Gazette will be due
South. And, if so, the course Of that
paper for two or three months past will
be one grand exhibition of MEN and NOT
principles. ALI,
1--WE thank thee, Mills, for teaching us
those words"
It was novel, truly, for loco thus to
talk. but the practice of the Gazette
proves your assertion beyond hesita-
toni! We wait anxiously for devel-
opments on next Saturday. Nous uer-
r0ns.

The above proves two things most incon-
tes.ibly: First, That there Is no need of
any measure to increase the Revenue, as
the present Tariff will raise "cnou.h and
to spare" for the supplies Of the Govern.
ment and the payment also Of some por-
ton yearly of the National debt left by
Van Buren, when the People kicked him out

DREADFUL HURRICANE.

/ r
We learn from gentleman who has
just returned from Van Buren, county,
that a mos, dreadful hurricane passed
through part Of that county on Wednes.
day night week last. Our informant
states that in Little Cedar the deslruc-
,ion OF properly and loss of cattle has
been great. The dwelling house Of Mr.
Marshall who resides near the timber
through which the whirlwind passed,
was carried away by the storm toge,h-
er with the whole of his household fur
nllure' &c. The family. which con-
sisted OF seven. it appears had retired
to bed before the storm came up, and
strange as it may appear, the whole of
the building was carried of without. do.
ing any bodily injury to any of its in.
matcs-a small boy Of the age of
years was missing and it was feared
that he might have been carried of and
persisted. but on the following morning
he was found abou. two miles from the
place upon the open prairie, to which
he had wandered unconsciously. We
also learn that newly erected building
about two miles from Mr. Ms, was al.
so nnrooted and large barn partly
finished entirely blown down. Our
informant further states that large
number of horses, oxen, cows, swine,
and sheep were next morning found
slrewn around for miles, dead, and that
Tor several miles upon the prairie, he
found trees, posts and rails, distributed
IN all directions. Where the storm
spent It's fury. our informant did no,
learn; he says from the appearance of
the timber, he should judge it to have
been about mile in width. and TO have
continued it course in a north west di.
rection.
Since wiring the above we have re.
celved the Bloomington Herald, which
contains some further account of the
destruction q, property through .ha,

ing:--Lee Co. Dem.

logs, killing Mrs Randall, and serious
ly IJnring her son, a young man Of
% or % years of age. We also learn
that within few miles of Upton, &C.
dar county, the residence of Mr. Nudge,
we believe lha. to be the name,) was
blown TO the ground, dangerously
wounding Mr. NJ, and injuring four or
i've of his family. In its course, it tore
down five or six houses in the same
