We hear no more Of the changing hoof.
And the stage-coach rafting by;
Far the sleam-king rules the Travelled world,
And the old Pixies left to die.
The grass creeps DER the fiinty path,
I And the stealthy dases steal
Where once the stage-horse, day by day.
Lifted his iron heel.
No more he weary stage breads,
The toll Of the coming morn;
No more the bustling landlord runs
Al the sound Of the echoing horn;
FOR The dust lies still upon the road,
" And bright-eyed children play,
Where once the Gathering hoof and wheel
Ratified along the way.
Nc more we hear the cracking whip.
Or the strong wheels rumbling sound:
Ana .h the water drives US on,
And an iron horse is found!
~ coach stands rusting in the yard,
And the horse has sought the plough;
We have .panned the world with an iron rail,
And the steam king rules us now
TAc old turnpike is pike no more,
s. wide open stands the gate;
Ne have made US road for our horse to stride.
Which we ride at a flying rate,
W have filed the valleys and leveled the hills,
And tunneled the mountain side:
Ana round the rough crag's dizzy verge.
Fearlessly now we ride!
hn-4on-on-wlth naughty front!
A Duff, shrek, and'a bouni;
While the tardy echoes wake too late,
ff, 70 bahble back the sound;
Anl the old pike road is left alone.
And the stagers seek the plough:
he have cireled the earth with an iron rail,
And the s,eam-king rules us now!

For the Burlington Hawk. Eve,

Ma EDiToR:-Have we no law to prevent the
influx OF free negro population into our State? II
we have, whose business is it, to see it put into
execution? Almost every DAY this class of pop
ulation seems to increase among us, and some OF
them of the most trifing character,
Burlington, Nov. 10. CITIZEN.
In answer to the inquiries of our Correspond
ent. we state that the Legislature passed law
last winter to prohibit the immigration of free ne
groes into this State. II provides that from and
after the passage of the act no free negro or mu-
latto shall be allowed to settle in this State, and
that 1t shall be the duty Of all township and coun
ty officers TO notify all free negroes who may i'm
migrate to this State, to leave the same within
three days from the time Of notice, and upon
their failure to do so it shall be the duty Of the
constable of the proper township, sheriff of the
county, marshall or other police officer of the
town, to arrest such free negro and take him or
her before Justice Of the peace or county Judges;
and 1t shall be The duty of such Justice or Judge to
fine such free negro the sum of two dollars for
each day he may remain in the State after such
notice, and costs Of prosecutions; and to commit
such free negro TO the jail of the county, until
such fine and costs paid, or until he shall con-
sent to leave the State, provided it shall be ascer-
tanned that he or she is unable to pay the fine and
costs
This provision of the law does not apply to
free nsroes who were living in the State at the
time of its passage, and who have complied with
the laws in force at the time; but such are per-
mitted to remain IN the State and enjoy such pro-
perty as they may then have possessed or after
forwards acquired.
The last section OF the law above referred to,
provided that it should stake effect and be in force
by publication in the Iowa True Democrat,
weekly newspaper published in Mt Pleasant
We are Informed that the law was never publish
ed in the True Democrat, aud that the editor has
said it never should be published in that paper-
question will consequently arise, els the law
in force until it has been published in the True
Democrat?" This question we will not under
take to decide. The constitutional provision in
reference to the subject, is as follows:
ART. 3. SEC. 27. No law of the General AS
sembly of public nature shall take effect until
the same shall be published and circulated in the
several counties of this State. by authority. If
the General Assembly shall deem any law of i'm
mediate importance they may provide thai, the
same shall take effect by publication in newspa-
pers in the State"
We may State further that the law has been
published and circulated by authority of the State
with the other acts, resolutions and memorials of
the Legislature passed last winter.
