AZ VIZ are all depending on one another to .
greater or less extent in this world, and aswe are
depending upon the promptness Of our subscrl'
beers, we hope that those who are indebted to

come forward and discharge their Indebtedness
without further notice. All work and no pay

Hereafter, when we receive a subscription from
any Of our readers, we shall announce the name
and amount in our paper, which will serve to
show the willing and faithful subscribers, and
obviate good deal of trouble in writing, re
ccipsine, &c. We have our payments to meet
in the Spring, like the rest Of our fellow ct-
xens, and if our readers take our paper, and
don't pay for il, they cannot expect US TO make
. very profitable livelihood. If this call be not
responded to, in becoming spirit, we will be
constrained to make virtue OF necessity, and
adopt such other means will be more efficient

quest which TO refuse is to act unjusly j
We will tell you why sir. 1t was because the
interests Of Iowa in the House Of Representa- /,
tives were committed for four years to the {
charge Of an individual VIII, grossly neglected a
The interest of the State, in his eagerness to
serve the interest of Burlington, and for tina,
gross neglect has been rewarded with pledge Of
eternal retirement. Had this Burlington Rep
resentative pursued the course, which reason,
justice and the repeated instructions of the peo-
pie required, our railroad grant would have been
obtained, when the grant to Illinois was made. 7
The people Of this State have been grossly and
rascallvcheatedi in order to feed The
Name Of Burlington ambition, and it is huml- 0
1ting for US to reflect that it has been done by
an individual, who was highly and generously c
honored by the democratic party and WIN in all :
other things deported himself as became Rep G

aost by the negligence and design of this Bur c
lnyton Representatives, that the people of our a
State have been aboring for the las, three years
The prospect is very fattering now, that we
shall accomplish thi, good work, and this ac- h
counts for the exlspiration and madness of Bur t
aing,on. Keep your shit on MIR Hawkeye, j

the desperate and Inscriptions opposition of the
Inhabitants of FLINT Hilla.' Q
