times, and wound up By accusing the Democrats
Of Ignorance and begging the audience % take

Dear GAzErrE (at ten cents per week.

Well grant what you ssem to be contending
for, indeed it 10 conceded BY everybody, that
yox have not an idea, and are about as dull q
they "get EN- up"
You also say that somebody intended 10

Although no one has ''caught him out" Of
Office, for the last quarter Of century, yet the
General u out, Dir, nou and beating hinself like

A free state man named NcNchol has been
elected Judge for Barton county, No., BY one
vote. The St. Louis Democrat says the race
was made squarely on the slavery question. In
the Congressional election, last year, the county
gave Phelps, pro-savery democrat, l9S, and
Richardson, free state, 50.
n Mr.. J. W. McDill, formerly Of Barling.
ton, has been nominated without opposition BY
the Republicans Of Union County as . candidate
for County Judge. Mr.. McDill is young man
Of ability and promise and will make faithful
and efficient public officer.
Correspondence Of the Hawk-Eye.
Reasons Of Wrath.
SEPT. 9Th, 1859.
| What do you think OF all this growing and
ill-will Of the Opposition papers about the &C
| counts in circulation Of the Kirkwood and
Dodge discussionsg
There is an explanation that will probably
account for it.
| Whatever may be said about the matter,
| We out West know that Mr.. Kirkwood had bis
own way through here. The wrath of the
Eastern Democratic editors at US, is, that out
here we are 90 ignorant or uniformed Of the
renown and greatness Of Gen. Dodge-tbat We
do not place any more weight or value on his
words, than if the same words came out Of the
mouth Of any other man.
The fact is We are rather fresh here, and don't
care 60 much about what has been o. what noU
is and what is TO come-and we listened to
Gen. Dodge to find what sense or meaning there
| Is in what be says, which is irritating % . man
who don't wish to be thoroughly understood
and keeps aloof from their annoying inquisi-
tiveness, by his frequent et cetera, let cetera.
Ut may be that be will leave of using these
words after seeing this mention.)
This is thoroughly provoking indeed to these
editors and political partners, and probably to
the General himself, that his expressions, as
far As they convey any meaning at all, are re-
1 garded as the expression Of man, and not az
4 the expression Of pursey Ambassador.
Finally, they have resorted to the Barbecue,
and to defiant and warlike placards and hand
bills, in their desperatcness to show that they
are in dead earnest, aud not 'just playing"
Then let US believe they are il earnest to be
sure, and are not putting on feathers and brass
buttons only to show fight.
But it is getting to be iudcrous, this attempt
to impose upon rs nothing for somsthing.-
When We consider that it is the Iova branch o.
The chivolry perambulaiirg the Barren Hills
and Sterile Prairies'* our compassion ought to
be stirred up within us, that they have wander
ed 50 far from home.
| Their melancholy song,
1 "Alas the days are gone
/ When my bosom streams were glad"
| proceeds them on the winds.
Melancholy settles down deeper into the
hearts Of this chivalry as the increasing days
establish the conviction that the pitchfork Of
the farmer will prick as sharply as the duelist's
sword, and the locomotive and iron rail is al
powerful a. the negro and his six mule wagon

which we have been meDtioning,) viii be done

Of Repentance lays beyond it, which 10 the
Spring time Of new life, and, We may hope
| Of better life.
/ There will be hope, when the wrathy genera

deep in the soul, that the vanquished can claim
seats in the councils Of their vanquishing friends
This is not the time for them to do 50. They
have not yet passed The Season Of WRATH.

phrase, to know that Gen. Dodge once pro-
