Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1849-06-21
Hon. Fi,x Henry warren.

ileman whose name heads this article by the loco
focos, induces TO continue vindication OF his
character. We know he needs no such vindication
now, as they have provoked that is full, unan-
swerable and satisfactory. from lawyers of high
pute and undoubtcd veracity, who were employed
as counsel against the firm Of which he was men,
Der. They not only exhonerate him from all wrong
doing, but recommend his discharge from all pecu-
mary liability for his honorable conduct in render
ing them positive and important assistance in the
settlement Of that case. We have already publish
ed the letters of Mcssrs Ashmun and Collier, and
those Of Messrs Chapman and Norton, speak the
same language, awarding to him much credit and
the most honorable conduct throughout the whole
Transaction. Ifany thing were wanting to convince
the public Of the uprghtness Of his course and the
srne object of his accusers it may be found in the
dact that not one Of the loco foco papers, from the
g Union'' down to the . Democratic Enquirer, of
this state, has had the manness or magnanimity Of
letting their readers know that there ever has been
any refutation of the charges which they have so
prodigally layished against him in their rublca-
aions. Instead of this and while they know that
such evidence as has already been educed to coun-
teract their vile calumnies, would fllyand triumph
antly acquit him of all blame and establish his rep-
utation as an honorable and high minded man, in
any court of justice, they suppress all alluson to
his yindcation and continue to reitcrate their vile
abuse, and goat over the hope Of putting him down.
Vain hope! No man stands higher in his official
capacity or private intercourse than does Col. War
rem. He has the confidence of the President, the
Cabinet and the most prominent men in the nation.
The loco focos may thank themselves, and old Faith

Of those who propagate them, will always react in
favor Of the object Of their hate. It has done so in
this case, and gave it as our opinion in the out

We have alluded to the attempt to injure the rep

credit for patriotism in his opposition to Col. War

But the attempt to connect the wings with thi.

the enemy, has not been confined to the Gazette
The other loco papers have tried to pull the SAM
