PROSPECTUS
For an Enlarged Edition OF the
H A w K-E Y E.

To keep pace WITH the onward growth OF
this portion Of the Territory and comply
with the expressed wishes Of large mum
Der OF our subscribers, we propose TO in
crease the dimensions Of the Hawk EYE
from its present to a double medium ,ize.
Such enlargement: will give our subscribers
about double the amount of reading matter
afford us an opportunity to lay before
them from week to week greater variety
Of news and miscellaneous reading-and
render the paper altogether more attrac.
tive and deserving of patronage.
THE HAwK.EYE was the first Wing news
paper published in the Territory. AT its
commencement and for the first few years
its existence it had to encounter the
fiercest and most unwarrantable opposition
but it has outlived all that-malntained its
integrity as a faithful exponent of wing
principles and will continue amid the
fluctuations Of triumph or defeat to cling
to and enforce the adoption Of those prin-
ciples, s aiiordlng the only political guar
anty to national prosperity.
To carry out our plan we shall he oblig.
ed TO incur considerable additional expense
1t will therefore be necessary to vary our
terms SO as to meet the exigency. Instead
OF 81 so the subscription for the new cdi-
ton will be tlco dollars in advance, per
snnum to all those who do not pay in
advance, twenty five cents for every three
months delay will invariably be required.
The paper will appear in it's enlarged
form in the course Of two or three weeks,
and we hope that every Wing will encour-
age the undertaking, by promoting its more
extensive circulation.
To those obtaining for US six responsible
subscribers a seventh copy will be sent
without charge.
JAMES G.. EDWARDS.
Burlington, Feb. 81, lS45.

Prospectus and attach it to half sheet OF

Who is the "WOIf.',

1t is some time since the Gazette has
exhibited so much venom as appeared
in the last number. Every one knows
that the editor, having been one of the
members who framed the Constitution
of our proposed State Government,
looks upon that instrument with a
kind Of idolatrous affection. The files
of his paper will show that. But few,
however, anticipated the course he
would pursue to compel others with
himself 10 bow down and worship it.
The proposition to appoin, Delegates
to frame a Constitution had been de
feated by decided vote of the people;
and when il came up the last time fol
their consideration The objections thai
had previously governed their action
had, as The people thought, measurably
ceased to exist, and large majority
voted for the measure. This majority
was composed of wings as well as dem.
ocrats. They voted with the express
understanding, and with the dIrec
promise on the par. of the leaders anC
mos, ardent friends Of the project, thai
the Constitution would be framed with
the sole object of advancing the inter.
ests Of the whole people and not Of a
part or party.
To have State. as fertile Iowa, ex-
tending from river to river, having is
whole eastern border laved by the Fa-
Their Of waters, and its whole western
by the mighty Missouri, was consid-
Grafton which awakened in many minds
the most sanguine an,icipalions of flu
ture greatness and grandeur. And, all
things being equal, it might well do
this. But all these an,icipa,ions have
been blasted by the action of Congress.
A, least one half Of our proposed State
Territory has been cur,aied, which
will leave US in some places between
one and two hundred miles from the
Missouri. Aside from all other objec.
tons, this of itself is sufficient to inllu.
ence the people to pause and weigh
we'll the expediency of voting for the
Constitution while such fatal res,ric.
ton is attached to it. They are re-
fleeing on this subject. They 10
pause in view Of their action on the
first Monday Of April. And well they
may. They mus. vote sgains. the
Constitution, or. voting for it, they
will accede to the cur,aiment OF our
boundary as proposed by Congress.
This il the alternative.

short Notice.

The people Of this Territory will
probably be called upon to vote toT
members of the Council and House oil
Representatives on the first Monday
in April, in addition to the Township
officers. Most Of our readers are pro.
baby aware that the las, Session Of our
Legislature passed law postponing
the usual Winter Session, with the
hope that Congress would, in consider.
alton Of such postponemeni, permit the
usual appropriation for Legislative ex
penses TO be employed in paying the
expenses OF the Convention, or sc
much of i. as was needed. The law
provides that if Congress does not con.
sent TO such diversion Of the apprO.
prlaiion, the people mus, proceed, on
The Is, Monday in April at their annual
Township election, TO cleo, the usual
number of Councilmen and Represent.
atives. who are to meet in General As.
sembly on the first Monday of May fol-
lowing, provided tcenty days notice be
given Of such election. From last ac.
counts i. is inferribIe tina, Congress
has no, made any such diversion of the
appropriation. If this is the fact. We
may look for notice to proceed with The
election in very few days. Some o
the dis,an. counties will hardly get no
ticc in season, unless expresses are EN-
p.oyed.
