@Arc They Satisfied

The last Hawkeye puts this question.
We answer, we are, and ask the Hawk
eye back again, are you dissatisfied If
you are. certainly, you have no right 10
complain, Tor what is more proper, than
that the President should fiji the office q
10Y Of a. Ira with man IL Nhan As can
nase conRoence: When the whig party
came into power, it was no crime, then, in
the eye ofthe Hawkeye, that Gen. Harri-
son should appoint Gov. Chambers. And
he did not wait eight months, either, be-
fore he did it. There was no ceremony
then. A democratic Gov. was pushed out
then, without any courtesy At all. We
never blamed the wings for doing it, they
had right to Do 50. All they were 10
blame forswas in telling the people that
they would not do 50, and, as soon a. sue
ccssful, act out The Egyptian in full.
The insinuation Of the Hawkeye as to
Gov. C's ability is uncalled for. There is
no ground for tho mistake but that Mr..
Clarke has ability enough to discharge The
office Of Gov. O. Iowa. And the very fact
that our friend Of the Hawkeye could not
utter word derogatory Of him is very
good proof that the President has not com
mitted great error, to say the least.
"Other men sren IN that Democratic
party" the Hawkeye says "migM have
been found equally as we'll qualified 10 dis
charge the responsible duties Of that Office
You think there is no doubt but such men
could be found in your party. neighbor?
Well, we will not differ about that, but lust
give US list Of the names Of your smart
men in the Territory, will you? You and
Mr.. Clark fully agree, presume, 50 far
~ the men in our party are concerned.
No doubt there are other men .eyenn in
our party as able as Mr.. Clarke, but that
does not show but he is amply competent
to the duties Of the Office. Indeed we know
he Is, and the Hawkeye will not deny it.
A your "fry," and ''strips" and s.lo-
cofoco," they are all empty words. They
are neither matter nor substance, nor ar.
sunent, nor reason, nor common sense.
We might pay you back, words enough in
store, bntit would not be worth the ammu-
milton. One thing Is certain, Gov. Cham
bers is removed, and il is pretty certain
he is thp last Of his party that will ever
rule over Iowa. Whist do you think Of
that, neighbour M II t91'a

for the American Eagle to fly over the
Rocky Mountains?
But what is the use, pray, Of talking
about republic springing UP on the soil
owned or claimed by Great Britain? When
did ever this consumer Of nations, this
globe-ester, ever give her consent for .
colony Of hers to dislnember itself from her
iron grasp, and be free! When and where
did ever Great Britain favor the idea Of a
"Pscife, !" Atlantic Or any other Republic?
Now il is well known, that the soil and
territory which Great Britain claims, west
of the mountains, will continue TO be un-
der her sole control. just 50 soon as the
United States abandon her claim. Brit
ish Oregon would then be Province Of
"Her Maies,y's Dominions," and, ~ such

the case, mo Republic could spring up

should attempt to do this, how soon would
Botany Bay receive all the ringleaders
who might escape the halter? But should
they attempt it, and cry to us for assist
ance, what would Mr.. Webster then say?
Why the sanc,ity Of treaties and the laws
Of nations must be scrupuoasly observed!
What then ought to be the position of
the people Of the West on this subject
Ought the good wings Of the West, who
are anti British, who are heart and soul in
the Organ question, who love their coun-
try and her liberties, to be caiolcd and
turned against this question? We cannot
answer for them; but we can say, as for

Tbs democratic papers Of Pennsylvania,
Gov. Clarke's native State, speak Of Mr..
C's appointment to the Office Of Governor
Of this Territory in the highest terms
They think Mr.. G. has richly deserved
the honor which he now enjoys. We
think 80 too, and can assure the dernocra-
cy Of the Key Stone, that Mr.. Clarke has
not only the confidence Of the democracy
of Iowa but their support and best wishes.
We think President Polk has done no
more than justice to Mr.. Clarke and to
Iowa. There are many, very many, good,
faithful, long-tried democrats here-men
who have the confidence of the people,
and who are able to fill. with dignity and
ability any office in the Territory. Among
these men there is the best understanding
and when one has received an appoint
ment at the hands of the President, the
others are true democrats enough &c ac-
knowledge the proprieiy Of the appoint.
ment, where, as in the present case, it is
deseryedly obtained. Below we give an
extract from 1.-THE Westmoreland Repub-
lican and Farmers Chronicle" Il speak,
for itself: t'' t7a
appointment by the President.
"JAMEs CLARKE, ESQ. has been an
pointed Governor Of Iowa, in room Of
Gov. Chambers removed.
It's with feelings ofgratifcation that we
announce the above appointment, as there
Is no other man in that territory who more
richly deserves this mark Of distinction
BY the President than Mr.. CLARKE. Mr..
Z. was born and raj, ed in Westmoreland
where he imbibed those principles, which
has led to the highest post in his adopted
country. He emigraied to that territory
at its settlement, where by his talent, in.
dustry and energy, be has risen, BY suc nc.
cessive steps TO the Govenorship. He
enjoys the confidence Of the democracy q
nus territory to an eminent degree, and By
the ability and prudence with which lie
has edited the leading Democratic paper
there, he has contributed no little in de-
Gliding the politics Of Iowa. SOD

" Presidsnt Polk is thus spoke of " the
London Examiner: HPresident Polk has,
defeated the purpose Of his own
Senate; he has out-promissd and out ma
neuvred England, cajoled the Texans into
vote Of annexation, and acted therein
promptly by the despatch Of ships and
regiments to the Rio Grande. Polk has
shown himself in this worthy son Of
Jackson; indeed, an improvement upon
old Hickory, since lie has avoided the vio-
lence and hloodshed which accompanied
the Generals seizure of the Floridas.----
The question now is, whether the British
Government and that Of FIR nee, having e IN
failed, will be content to refrain from all
further interference. Will they give up
their treaties with Texas9 Will English
men give up their claim upon Texas, as
portion Of Mexico, for the SO, OO0, 900 dol
lars due to the settlement" We think
the above is surely a compliment to our
worthy President. Not that we assent 10
the idea that he has defeated the purpose
Of his own Senate or that he has sea
joled the Texans" or that he has done any
other act since his Inauguration, unbecom
ing the President Of the United States;
but because it shows tolhe American peo-
pie, that the British press are dissatisfied
because he has not, as yet been ohwinded
and headed by British intrigue and policy
So far the whole American people look
upon Mr.. Folks course with pleasure.
because it has born itself erect, and been
strictly American. The people elected
Mr.. Polk in the full belief, that he would
maintain American interests without dis
tinction Of parties, and not suffer one jol
or title Of our rights and liberties 10 be
taken away. They had full confdenc.
that the spirit Of the illustrious jackson
would pervade his actions, and cause him,
as did that great and good man, to look Ia
it, that the massive hools Of John Bull dc
not tread upon the tallons Of the Ameri-
can Eagle. Let Mr.. Polk say to oil ma.
tions, you may expect what is right, bu,
do not presume TO demand injustice at oul
hands. Let him give the whole world t
understand, tina. the United States know
how to feel gratitude for lavors, but thai
she has too much self-respect to be insult.
ed. Let Mr.. Polk maintain our soil ant
our rights to the utmost rerge, and do i
frankly and manfully, and he may be as
sured, that, whatever other nations ma,
say whose interests and schemes may b
defeated by such policy, the people o
the. United States will rally round hin
with one heart and one mind. They vii
sustain him in whatever perrils he ma,
face; and when tile strife is over, he vii
receive for his reward the sincere, anc
heartfelt gratitude Of great and free PEG.

recent Developments, that The Wings hay,
raised up bird TO pick out their owr

leaves Briggs in want Of 1912 Of an cleo.

When Henry Farewell first moved t,
Dixfeld village, in Milne, being lawyer
BY profession, he employed one Deacon
Wheeler to try his cases as justice of the
peace. In that State, the justice signs the
blank writs, has SO much for trying case,
SO much for entering action, &c., sc. In
order to make little out of the old Dca-
con, Farewell hired him at so much ne,
year, and it is said that he never lost case
tried at the Deacons court. So il happen
ed, on time, that suit was made return
able before the old deacon, and the defend
ant employed counsel. On the day Of trial
the parties met, attorneys filed their places,
joined issue and put themselves on trial
before his Honor, the worthy deacon. The
case was long, good deal Of evidence, on
both sides. involving some considerable
law, and the attorneys fought stoutly throw
ing all the dust they could, each upon the
others side. Finally the evidence wa,
closed. The defendants counsel arose and
proceeded with great yehemance to argue
10 his Honor, who listened with great grav-
ity to the argument. He closed. The
counsel for the plaintiff closed the case with
long speech, arraying law and fact be-
fore the deacon's mind, who sat perfectly
composed, as if the whole subject, both as
to law and evidence was fully compre-
hended and understood. The counsel for
the plaintiff sat down. All was still. The
court room, crowded to, overlooking, was
hushed into profound silence. All ewes
were turned upon his Honor, who arose
from his chair, and with great gravity de.
livered the opinion Of the court as follows:
"The court has listened to this case with
a great deal Of attention. II is very diff.
ficult one and important to this community,
both as to its law and facts. Ii is impor-
tant. then, that it should be we'll under-
stood and properly decided. That has
been the object Of this court in listening
the whole day without any dinner to this
time which is now eleven o'clock at night.
This court has never had the pleasure to
listen to more able arguments. It has
been my constant aim to come to right
decision. 1t is very difficult case to I'M
derstand. But this court has finally come
TO the conclusion that there are three dol
lars damage somewhere, but where this
court cannot tell. Gentlemen, think you
had better settle it." aHef Ft8 s.fsta
