bought the greater part that had been sold.
] he reason was now plain to me, why HE
urged us to remove. His object, we thought,
was to get our lands. We held several coun-
ellis that winter to determine what we should
do, and resolved, in one Of them, to>return
to our village in The spring, as usual; and
concluded, that if we were removedby force,
that the TRADER, agent, and others, must be
the cause; and that, if found guilty Of having
us driven from our village, they should be
KILLED. The trader stood foremost on the
list. lie had purchased the land on which
my lodge stood, and that of our GRAVE YARD

Thurlow w. Brown, editor Of the Cayusa
Chief, recently journeyed from Auburn to
Wisconsin, and is is one Of bis notes by the
way:
"speaking of grog-shops, brings to mind
an ncid, mt which occurred at -. A
young, we'll dressed, gentlemanly appearing
man, with a lovely wife and child, had jour
neyed on the same train with MS from Buffa-
10. At -, in spite Of the earnest and
fearful protestations of his wife, he would
leave tho depot, as he said, son business =
From his wifc's manner, we readily guessed
what she thought his business was. For a
long hour she stood, with her boy in her
arms, awaiting his return, the tears, in spite
Of all her efforts, silently dropped upon the
cheek of her sleeping child. He came just
as the train started-drunk. He lurched to-
ward the platform, fell upon the rail, and his
head was severed from his body. Never in
life shall we forget the expression of the
wife's countenance, as she stood moment,
her features pale and CHASTITY, and then fell
senseess upon the CORY and smoking form of
her husband. The wall Of the fatherless boy
touched every heart, for not one who looked
upon the scene could refrain from weeping.

of a husband and father at such moment,
the enraged populace would have lynched
him on the s~ot. But he was killed by au-
thority He died !. legal death. The butch
cry was licensed. The price Of blood was
in the rum-seller's till. A few pennies
worth of property WAS saved to him, but
husband, father and citizen destroyed. The
cru hing bow fell upon the innocent and
d.fenceless amongst strangers. This butch
cry is but one Of that host having record in
the history Of rumsalling. To put an end to
it, we are told, would violate the Constitu-
ton, destroy property, and outrage the rights
of the citizen and his homicide! We looked
upon that woman, as she was taken like
dead one from the headless corpse, her heavy
hair clotted with the blood that had just Jet
ted from the puIsing heart, and felt fresh
hatred against damnable business, and all
its apologists and abestors. | thought of

stands between the people Of New York and
the scourge which burdens them"

RESIGNATION OF Mn. GUTHRIE.-The gen.
orally we'll in formed Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, writes:
have strong reason to believe that Mr..
Guthrie will ere long leave the treasury de-
partment, not so much dissatisfied az wearied
by the monotony Of Office. He has perform
ed his duty well-indeed 80 well that he has
given more than satisfaction. He has been
. faithful guardian Of the public Treasury,
and he has very sound views Of political
economy. But no is rich and independent,
and prefers his old friends in Kentucky to
his new ones in Washington, for which, I am
sure, nobody will blame him.

For the Hawk Eye,



The Concert for tho benefit of the poor on
Saturday evening, by the members of the
Oratorio Society ard other amateurs, could
4 not but have afforded much qualification to
the largo and appreciat:ve audience that as
sembled on the occasion. 1t were vain, how
ever, to suppose that all the selections, which
were unusually numerous, gave entire salts
faction; though, aside from the lauaablc oh.
Ject OF the entertainment, there was still
fully sufficient melody and harmony to graft
~ the refined taste; and We must fain be-
lieve that no one retired from the evenings
performances without feeling happy that he
had contributed his mite to add to the COM
fort and happiness of the poor.
The Oratorio Society has been in existence
about three months, and we understand that
there has never been full attendance of
members at the rehearsals, and that the Con-
cert on Saturday evening was given with on
~ t~o weeks preparation, period atogeth-
sr insufficient for any musical association to
DO justice to itself. The entire performances
were highly creditable, and really superior to
many that have been given here by foreign
artists.
Several of the s'Chorusses'' we're rendered
with happy effect. The "Foresters' and
"Laughing May" were the most approved
and were admirably executed. "Hail Smiling
Moon," the most finished composition of the
selections. was sung in brilliant style and
gave evidence of the admirable drilling Of
the conductor. The Quartette, go sing that
gentle strain again." touched the hearts
deepest chords and left an eleyating and re-
timing influence upon the soul.
The performances of the Orchestra were
oil that was expected from such finished mu-
sicians. Professor Langley is splendid per-
former on the piano, and gives power of
tone to the instrument, that is rarely heard,
Wai6h his touch is perfect and execution re-
brilliant. Mr.. Ven Meter, the con-.
ductor, deserves much credit for his energy
and industry in ssgetting up" such good
Concert. we have rarely heard more
,leasing combination Of sweet sounds and
powerful chords produced from such slight
PREPARATION. UNCLE DICK.

didate, Mr.. SlLAs A. HupsoN. But it gives
Us pleasure to state that Mr.. Stockton had
523 votes, which is clear majority of the
legal votes cast. This result has been rought
about by one of the oldest illusions" ever
known. The Gazette clique, being the ghost,
of the late Locofoco party in this city, have
| ssfused'' with tho foreign element here, on the
pretence of putting down Know Nothing
ism, and ssfused' again with the Whiskey ell
ement, in support of an ayowed Whiskey
candidate. In short, the Locofocos, or that
portion Of them still adherring to A. c. Dodge
and the Gazette, have struck hands with our
foreign population in crusade against Ma
tiveism, and these two elements have combined
with the tn ird, ssUhiskey." But for fear
that the three would not together be able to
achieve victory, they opened the polls to
foreigners not yet naturalizad, thus getting
from three to four hundred illegal votes.

ne Whenever the foreign element in this
country allows itself to be precipitated upon
the polls en- mass, to break down and crush
out the carse of temperance, just then and
there will they arouse feeling of hostility
in the public mind that will greatly injure
them. We say this in the spirit Of kindness.
But to the minions of A. c. Dodge who have
worked upon the prejudices Of this foreign
population here-who have led on this at.

gal voters of the city by flooding the ballot
box with votes Of aliens and non-residents

The following by Tom Hood is one Of the
most remarkable stanzas in the language:

Gold! gold. gold! gold!
Bright and yellow, hard and cold,
Molten, craven, hammered rolled,
Heavy to get and light 10 hold.
lIoarded, bartered, bought and sold,
Stolen, borrowed, squandersd, doled,
Spurned by the young, bat Rugged by The old,
10 the very verge Of the churchyard mould;
Price Of many a crime untold;
Gold! gold! gold! q Id!
Good ar bad a thousand fold,
How widely its agencies vary;
To save to ruin. TO curse to Bless,
As even its minted coin express
Now stamped with the ina re Of good queen Bess
And now Of Bloody Mary.

We are informed, from SO many different
sources, Of the injustice done the beer houses,
in the above statement, and from sources en-
titled to credit, that We shall correct the
statement. So far from being closed, they
kept their friends full of bad whiskey and
worse beer the entire day. And it Mas en-
tirely consistent and proper. With an avow-
ed and open whiskey candidate for Mayor

was proper that the article should be used.

been deceived.

In recent article We asserted that only /
three papers had been seen by us, which had
published the BLACKBOARD report Of the COM
mittes on Federal relations. And among
this number, enjoying the notoriety Of being
the only ono that had published the whole
thing, insult and scandal, was named the |
Davenport Banner" We are now pleas
to learn that we were mistaken. The Editor
Of the Banner is justly indignant that We
should name his paper as the only
one with appetite gross enough to pub
lish such document entire. Upon re-ex-
animation of the matter We find it was the
Muscatine Enquirer which published the re-
port entire. There being family resem-
blancs between the two Journals, we did in
some manner confound them. We make the
correction with pleasure. But in the num-
Der in which he denies the charge is publish
ed this very report with the scandalous par
agraph stricken out. But it is inserted we
have charity to believe, in spirit Of bravo
do, and but for our mistake in making the
statement, no part of it would ever have
found its way into that paper.
f'Our reason for not giving the ssinuendo''
is that We are ignorant of the ground upon
which it 10 based. Banner.
Suppose which it does not, but with eqnal
propristy rnd decency might, this inucndo,
affixed to this beautiful report by the COM
mittee Of grave deliberative body, had as
serted that twenty years ago represent Gov
ernor Of Iowa had been guilty of petty lar
ceny. Would that paper feel called on to
60 into an investigation of the ssgrouuds''
upon which such scan ialous matter was
introduced into public document printed at
the expense Of the State? And if upon exom-
ination the editor should come to the con-
clusion that there was a possibility that
something Of the sort might have been true,
would he have considered it his duty, as a
partizan editor, to publish such moroccan?
Is it not a tine commentary upon the dig
nifty of the Senate, that but one editor of
their own party, the editor of the Muscatine
Enquirer, could be found in the whole State
willing to publish this document entire!
