BURLINGTON, July 18th, 1856.
EDITOR HAWK Eye & TELEGRApH:-
Allow me to express few of my thoughts in
your paper this morning.
1t has been q great many years since have
had the pleasure Of seeing your city. left it is
the year 1910, at that time by great deal OF ex-
aggeration and "gas" We could make strangers
believe that there were nearly one thousand peo-
pie here. But now revisit the place of my
youth and find it city of fifteen thousand in
habitants, looming up as the metropolis OF the
North West But there are some things which
injurc the appearance of it very materially
One Of them is the condition of your Public
Square" Qf the ground on the North Hill re-
tanned for that purpose could be called by that
nancy When looked upon it this morning l
was almost led to believe thatI was living in the
year 1910 instead of 1856. The old Jail still
stands an ornament to that little patch Of ground.
I very nearly came to the conclusion that the
same weeds were growing as were then, every
thing on it retains the appearance it formerly did,
You have city officers, why do you notimprove and
ornament that spot of all others that should be
embellished with beautiful shade trees and pleas
ant walks.
If they will not do it, then let your citizens
endeavor to improve it by their own private
means Let them do something, 60 at it; deter
mine to ornament it and it will be done. l
should prefer to have a rail fence around it,
rather than let it stand idle is now done there
by making it fit for hog pen or cattle mart.
Yours truly, GARDEN CITY.

SorATTER SoyEREIaNTY.-The Richmond En-
ouirer scornfuy repels the notion that squatter
sovereignty has been endorsed by the Democrat
ic platform, or nominee.
s.These considerations lin which men Of all
parties in the general will concur) afford clue
to ascertain and determine his meaning and
opinions as to squatter sovereignty. The Ne
braska bill has been charged with ambiguity, yet
it is hard to suspect the majority IN congress
who enacted it with fraudulent intention. The
changed phraseology employed on the same sub
iect in the Cincinnati platform, was adopted in
order more explicitly and fully to repudiate the
idea of sauatter sovereignty. The subject had
been fully discussed before the sitting of the
convention, and the entire south went into con-
yention, resolved that no room for doubt or cavil
should be left, even to our enemies. To place
other construction on the platform is to assert
| that few knaves in convention duped the whole
south and most of the north.
"But although the convention satisfied its
friends bv resolutions on this subject, unani-
mously adopted in convention, it did stop the
cayillings and affected doubts OF its adversarles
No wonder Mr.. Buchanan cannot satisfy men
| who are predetermined not to be satisfied But
it would be strange, wonderful, incredible, that
| Mr.. Buchanan, knowing that squatter soreretgnty
1 had but ono copspicuoms ddrocate IN the Union,
Lrow;no that the resolutions of the Cincinnati
conyeation were carefully framed, so as cypress
!, to erclude such doctrine, and had, therefore,
met the unanimous appreciation Of southern as
| well as northern members, should stndiousiy
| accept the sipsiss;ma perba' of that platform
and resolutions, as coincident with his own opin.
ions, and as the guide of his policy if elected.
| We say it would be strange, wonderful, incredi
Bile, that he should suddenly turn short round'
eat his own words, clasp squatter sovereignty
| to his bosom-and for what? To destroy hi:
reputation for truth, honesty, common sense
and consistency, to offend nation and lose an

Farmers are in the midst Of their Harvest, and
without any extra force to secure their crops,
they have no time to spend In coming to market
Consequently business Of every description Is

Wheat would find ready sale ifany were ofierd.
We hear Of 4 few contracts. New Crops for

what the prices may be, when the harvest IS
completed and wheat ready for market, as wheat
contracted for is for immediate use.
The same prices are offered for Wool as at last

is still in the country, which must come forward
as soon as owners can find time to bring it.

company Of emigrants, who was taken prisoner
by the Border Rafiisns few days before the
burning Of the Free State Hotel At Lawrence,
and, thereby, was afforded an excellent oppor-
tunity Of watching the Border Rnfians. He was
for some time supposed to have been murdered
BY them, but they only kept him prisoner ten
days or two weeks, treating him and his fellow
prisoners with great cruelty, and allowing them
only one meal day, and that neither good in
quality nor Sufficient in quantity. In his state
nents, the DR.. says:

son, of Lecompton, Of sundries charged to the
United States Marshal's posse and among 9TH
er things, quite an amount of whisky at one dol
lar per gallon and French brandy at eight dol
lars gallon. The whole bill footed three hum
dred and seventy dollars and eighty-six cents.
The only fault found, was for charge for five
gallons of whisky, which, it was claimed, did not
reach the camp. 1t was finally acknowledged,
however, and paid.
Regular rations Of whisky were dealt out to
the men Of our camp, and all bills footed from
the Treasury Of the United States.
The Dr.. says all the "Raffans" engaged in the
sacking Of Lawrence were to receive two dollars
per day.
