CH1cKAsAw REPuBLIcAx.-We have
received the FIRST number Of this newly
established North Iowa Journal. 1t is
published at JAcKsoNv1lIE, Iowa, by
!. WArsoS at 81, so per year in advance.
We like its appearance very much and
we have no doubt it will take a promi-
nent place among the Republican papers
of the State. We trust the good sense
Of its Editor and Proprietor will decline
to identify the Republican with that
sentiment now more fanciful than popu-
lar, of attempting the elevation of the
Blacks by degrading the Whites
The Republican is edited with ability,
and merits an extensive patronage

ing the Breed of Horses in this section Of the

and examine said horse before useing any other,

in the Western country for beauty of form,
speed, durability DC, and also claim that there
10 no better blooded Black Hawk Horse living
than the BLACK TIGER and to prove the
fact would refer the readertl sthe predigrce OF
hand bills. His dam Cynthia Pierce was an i'm.
ported English Mare and has had six or seven
Colts all sired by Old Black Hawk. Three Of
these are Stations, Silver Hubs now owned BY
Mr.. Singleton, of Quincy, ILL.,, is standing the q
at Fifty Dollars 81 the season, and last fall he
took the largest purse at the st. Louis races,

horse never has been thoroughly trained but
he shows every qualification for being equally
as fast horse. The next the Edinck Adams

thousand dollars this Spring. The others were
mares and sold for good prices.
/ make this statement to show that it is nc
uncommon thing to raise valuable horses, when
there is proper effort made to do 80. The
old Black Hawk according to a statement made
in the Vermont Stock journal, left about 1000
colts while owned by David Hill, which has
made his owner the nice little fortune Of Forty
Seven Thousand Dollars, and while enrichiny
his owner he has done more for the farmers and
stock breeders than any other thing ever intro
duced into the State Of Vermont. He has left
more fast horses and his stock has sold for high
er prices than any other horse in the United
States. All that It is necessary to know in the
Boston and New York markets is that horse

sale at an exosbitant price. Now, ask why
will not the introduction of such horse az
BLACK TIC Err, which claim to be equally
as good horse as his sire, benefit the reople 81
this State equally as much as the old horse has
the people Of Vermont. And as it is no UNI
common thing for people to claim that their
Stations are Back Hawks and sired by the old
horse, when there is not ono drop Of Black
Hawk blood about them, / will here state that
