Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1850-07-25
TO THE POLLS!

We shall issue but one more paper before the
August election, and il say anything to dis
hnt readers upon its importance, we must say it
oew. In truth, however, We scarcely think it nec-
sssary to urge our Wing friends to be cup and do
tsg,s from the present time until the question Of
The moment is decided. We have the best assu-
RANGES that they ore already awakened, and fully
prepared to do battle with the old enemies Of all
thatis right, and with better prospect Of success
than has ever welcomed them to the field. From
the north, and the south, the east end the west
from every portion Of the state, gather evidence
OF The approaching discontinue OF the locos, and
total change in state oicers. The reign OF the
DsSss Jsesio. must have an end, and we are pretty
we'll assured that the teopls fully prepared to
east him and his despicable schemes Of petty per-
sonal agsrandizement to the winds. That man
% wanting in all that makes the statesman, Should
Tor 90 long time, have been the schief political
sscook" Of the democracy of Iowa, is fact that
would scarcely lind credit, had his folly and imbe-
eity not made it rather too notorious for the honor
Of the state And yet this man-this weather-cock
Of politics-this bantling ofsshangman Foote's,'-
this easily caioed and deluded child of Iowa, who
has unfortunately been permitted to intrude him
self among the great men OF the day, without mind
enough 10 perceive the perfect contempt with which
he 10 constantly, and, unfortunately, deservingly,
treated-this fellow, is allowed to rule the demo-
cratic roosf, in Iowa, If he true game, and
not dung-AH all overland none but those whom he
approves, can ever he dominated for the most tri-
0ing ofnces! We are ashamed, heartily ashamed,
Of our political opponents We could endure their
success with better grace ifthey would scout this
aalifsrni batf from, their ma NJ loo~or no.
NIT him 70 disgrace the state he cannot represent
This II rather too bitter = pill for Us to swallow,
especially when they have many infinitely able,
men among them. We are glad that a portion
Of the leading locos discovering their folly and
sndeavoring to rid themselves Of this incubus up
On The state. We reioiee because tits an evidence
Of their return to better judgment than they hav.
recently evinced in political matters, and il will
probably terminate in the election Of 1T least me,
OF common capaci,y-such as will not disgrace, \
thcy cannot honor the state they serve. The nom
inations throughout the state conciusiveiy shov
how supreme these honorable men, Dodge and Jones
Aave grown In Iowa. And, while this proves will
what cohesive bands the locos ere drawn together
they show, also, thst there 10 IN uuer struggle 70
ing on which will, eventually, PVT these snge-hk
gentlemen where they belong. This is what pleas
% Ne almost a. much Is that triumph we sincerel
eeitsve 10 now awaiting our own party.
We commenced with the intention OF adyisin
our whig friends to be wide awake nom the pres
emit time till the election he past. We have an ,b,
cling confidence In our prospects, ifthe indiyidu,,
ofthc pasty-each for himseif--win do their dut,
Nothing but our own division has hitherto KEEP. u
In the minority, and 90 long as these continue v
shali meet with uninterrupted defeat. We see n
reason for any division At the present time. n
vhig ticket 10 equal to any that could be sciecte,
end, % Tar - able to ascertain, has univel
sally given satisfaction. Compared with the loo
ticket il stands boldly prominent in all the quaie
which should commend ticket to the approbatio
and support OF . people. II 10 composed Of me,
Independent, incorporating advocates Of thei
political hucksters who have moulded and temper
% the people Of Iowa, like . piece Of wax, betwee
sAsir fingers. Such are the men We want, and sue
tAs people can now have il they prefer them L
those who have been content 10 worship At the fee
oft The senseless gods OF loco idolitry. We thinl
there 10 now . rsturntng sense Of propriety anon,
