Weekly hawk-eye and telegraph. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1855-1857, 1855-07-04

list.
s0- We admit the address Of Gen
Morgan, former editor of the Telegraph,
to the patrons and readers of that paner,
to our columns with some regret. For him
we entertain high opinion. His edito-
rial course has been able, high-toned, and
uniformly courteous. In the purchase it
has been our wish to do nothing that would
interfere with his interests. And we are
pretty sure we have not. We purchased
the paper because, if we did not, it would
be sold to the first outsider that came along
willing to buy. Its publication had been
suspended. Believing that by uniting it
with the Hawk-Eye we could do what had
not before been accomplished, sustain a
Daily paper without sinking every thing
in year or two, we made the purchase
Whether we are to succeed or not renal 8
to be seen.
Under these circumstances, standing in
the position We do, We regret first that
there should be any feeling between the
editor and the stockholders, and second,
that these matters of difference could not
all have been settled in some other way,
and if no other save through the paper,
that an occasion should have been en-
braced before it came into our hands. On
one hand stockholders complain that they
have bled freely-that they will bleed no
more. On the other hand, as will be seen,
complaint is made by the editor on several
Counts" all of which the public know
little about. All this, and the existence
of this state Of affairs, is no way charge
able to US. We had nothing to do with
it, and we do not conceive it exactly in or
der that our columns should be used for
the discussion of it.
We have purchased the materials and
"good will' of the Daily and Weekly Tel
egraph in good faith. And we got them
as we believe, because our offer was the
best that was made. And as we conceive,
we are entitled to the good will without
reservation.
To the patrons and readers of the Tele-
graph, Daily and Weekly, very little need
be said. The two papers have occupied
almost identically the same ground on po-
litical questions. The present proprietors
will make strenuous efforts to deserve the
support of its old patrons and readers
The Daily will be issued in the morning,
and will contain the latest intelligence that
can be had, up to the hour of publication.
Our first object will be to make it vehicle
for early and reliable information.
While we have political feelings and
preferences and expect to express them in
dependently, we do not feel that we
shall print partizan paper. There is no
call, at present, for any s.ch publication.
Old landmarks and old parties have
been obliterated and crushed out. The
two great parties that have heretofore di-
vided the country, exist only in name. In
the reforming Of political elements, it is
somewhat difficult to tell exactly how
things are to shape themselves. But for
the present there is but one question that
agitates the political world. That ques-
tion is slavery. We unhesitatingly de-
clare ourselves in favor of resisting the
further aggressions of slavery, and opposed
to its extension over any more free terrific
ry. We would confne i. to its present
bounds, giving it no more rights and priv
ileges than are vouchsafed in the constitu-
ton. e3
But there is little call for a long intro
ductory essay upon political or other topics,
our paper must stand upon its merits.
We to-day send our Daily to the sub
scribers to the Tri-Weekly Hawk Eye,
hoping that they will find in its enhanced
value, consideration fully equal to the
difference in price.
But all who do not wish to receive it,
will inform the carriers at once. And
those subscribers who get it by mail vii.
please, if desiring to discontinue, return the
first number, without delay.
