BURLINGTON, Iowa. May 2

you see fit
We are in a state Of "happy peace" here
at this time; the great excitement of Cal
ifornians getting ready to go to the Pacif-
ic. is happily over Instead of twenty or
thirty covered wagons standing in the
streets at time, we now have emigrants
to Iowa The hale and hearty husband
men Of Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA, have for
the last two or three years, been finding
out that this was the promised Land
and that the soil Of this State is more pro-
ductiye than that Of the interior, this. adj
ded to the fact that in many parts of the
interior the best locations can be made on
land owned by the Government, the in
ducements are very great to those who
have had to pay large portion OF their
products to the owner of the soil-WhIle
here they can for few dollars sit down
under their own vine and fg tree The
State las heretofore been looked upon
suspiciously as far as its political com
plexion was concerned. but | think l haz-
ard nothing in saying that Iowa viii prove
at the next Election in August that the
principles Of the Administration are looked
upon with pride and satisfaction by more
than one half the voters. The mormoms
at Council Bluff and in the vicinity, have
been so basely robbed Of their rights that
they viii never again hold communication
with the .unterrifed - declaring that
the wings cannot do worse than the locos
have done, viz; steal their Poll Books !
Those who know. declares that two thirds
Of the migration to California this season
has been by members of the loco party
how this may be- the election will tell
James Harlan, the wing candidate for
Gov. Is one Of the most talented men, and
truest wings in the West-the balance Is
true wing and, Of course, a good tick
ct !
We are now in possession Of Eleven
"Lions" and they are Of the Hungarian
Patriots. a component part, headed by
Gen. Ujhazy, late Gov. of Comorn-his
family and few of his late compatriots,
they were received by the citizens Of this
place with open arms and as they are to
become permanent citizens Of this State
with large number of Hungarians still
to GOMEZ we hawkeycs feel proud Of it
The Gen addressed the citizens in the
German language which was interpreted
and as a specimen Of speaking, to large
assembly. [ have rarely seen it equallcd.
The oppressed Of every land can find a
home here. and the fruits of mother earth
are not withholden from any, and labor
is rewarded by an abundant return.
While you of the frozen North are
complaining at the appearance Of the fall
crops we are cor@ratulating ourselves
that the prospect Of good crop was nev
er better, This Is the prospect Of farmers;
produce Is 100 per cent higher than it
has been for years before at this season
The farmers are the most Independent
class in any country. but here they form
a sort of upper ten. far superior IN men
tai and moral worth to thousands who
fam would be of that class
Much Improvement has been made here
in the cause Of Temperance Of late
There are a great number Of Sons and
the almost entire suppression Of the sale
of liquid poison has had a happy effect
on the place. it is very rare to see a man
intoxicated In our streets. \ ears ago
this was not so, nor is it so now in a ma
iOrity Of the river towns. Our statutes
in regard to the sale Of liquor is not as
stringent as that of Wisconsin. still Is
good and eXerts a salutary influence on
the many who would otherwise for the
purpose Of gain, engage in the unholy trat-
&c
] feel very anxious to hear Of the pros
perity Of the great Wing party in Wiscon-
sin, and hope that your State, so long mis-
ruled by the clique, may come out Mt the
next election having thrown off the old
blanket Of Loco Focoism. and put in It's
stead the wing principles and declare her
/ self forever dissolved from the denomina-
/ ton Of a party who have fed upon her, and
/ loaded her with a debt, the amount OF

State-yOu have the men-usc them t.
defeat the Locos who can do it. And as

I it would please thousands OF true Wing
hearts to see that the Intelligence of the

Of the Office seeking party who are now liv

may that four years be put the preface to
a book OF the greatest magnitude. 4 great
