Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1845-06-19
THE LONG AGONY OVER.

agony is now over, and it has turned
out pretty much as was expected. 1t
will be seen by the following announce
men,s that Van Antwerp and Hem
have the Land Office at Fairfield and
Lewis and Langworthy the one at Du
Buqne; Jesse Williams is Secretary of
the Territory and Ed. Johnston. of Fl.
Madison is the U. S. Attorney. No
news has ye, been received as to the
Governor, and we believe we know
the reason; but it will come all in good
time. We think Judge Williams will
be the man.
In speaking of the appointment Of
Van Antwerp, Penn, of The Missouri
Reporter, makes the following unchar-
liable remarks.
Ii will be perceived tina, Van Squirt
has been fastened on the people of
Iowa. We were no, far from the
mark in supposing that his lofty pre-
tensions would result in his begging at
last for sui, of east-of clothes. He
got pretty near that point. before he
succeeded. He was applicant. first
for Commissioner Of the General Land
Office; then he turned longing look
TO the Head of the Indian Department;
next he begged for the post Of Chargs;
falling in all of those, he sought sue
cessiveiv, 10 be appointed Consul,
Superintendent, of Indian AHIrs. 81.
Louis Post Master; and what else we
have not heard. At length he mas been
forced to take up with a small office
in Iowa. Well, since cambridge has
left the Territory, we suppose Van
will dare To 90 there again. There is
cause for rejoicing tina, such nuisance
has not been qnarlered on Missouri IN
any capacity. His labors 10 defea, the
election of Col. Polk should have
caused him 10 he sent 10 the Feelee
island; unless his former employ
in ST. Louis qualified him more espe-
cially for Consulship at lchaboe.
