All the Land Officers, Judges, Govern
ors, Elk, and otherwise, with heavy
sprinkle of lawyers and hundred or two
applicants for The subordinate posts in the
Legislature, are here present to represent
their own interests in particular and the
new State Of Iowa, generally. There will
be many an elongated and disappointed
face to be seen vending its way from this
li.ile city in very few days. We are
sorry. We are so full and running over
with The milk Of human kindness, that we
want TO see them all happy, and we know
they will not be so if they do not obtain
the offices they seek. They will throw
the blame of their failure on those who
acted for the best and probably acted
wisely too; and thus heart burning threat
enings will ensue and bad feelings be en-
gendered.
canno. tell how long | shall remain
here. My great object is to keep the rea-
ders of the Hawk-Eye informed of all
that is going on here of importance dur.
ing the session of the Legislature. Il may
be possible that may not accomplish
this better than by being my own cores
pondent to the Hawk-Eye. When the
hustle of Legislation commences in all my
attempts to speak of the, action Of either
House, shall endeavor to be true and
impartial.
In addition to the usual excitement of
the meeting of the Legislature. the Land
Sales will commence to-day for the sale
of those Townships advertised in the mid
die district. This will bring quite num-

Yesterday we attended Church at the
Capitol and heard two excellent discourse

doctrine of Regeneration, the other on the
necessity Of faith.
The great importance of this first meet

be fel. by all.
We should most assuredly have direct
communication between this place and
Burlington. By the way of Columbus
City the distance is but sixty.seven miles,
but by the way the mail goes through

the mails, fear that shall not be able to
give my readers even an account of the
organization of the Legislature, this week.

something of interest to communicate in

think this assertion of the Union rather
predetermined, if we refer as proof to the
late demonstrations against in N. York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio. In the first nam

sixteen Of the members voted for it. In
the next Congress. twenty of the
members from that State will undoubtedly
vote for its repeal In Pennsylvania at the
last session there were IL members who
voted for it-while in the next Congress,
seventeen will vote for its total annihila-
ton. In Ohio the gain is considerable.
This is "gaining friends with ven
geance. Should it continue to "gain" in
this way, it will certainly have enough
friends in the next Congress TO give it a
lift out of existence, even should the
Presiden, come to lis assistance with his
