bers for the Hawk-Eye. Under date Of Nay 4th
he writes us: M

and HAMLln some seventy.6ve feet on Buckeye
pole. An felt well, Except few Democrats
that were not willing anybody should feel well).
In fact moat Of the Douglas men appeared to

raised and the banner was being raised, there
was such shout went up n have never heard
before in Garden Grove for the Republican cam

squall. There is not very great many more
Republicans than there was then, but they are
walked up this year, all ready. Old Abe takes;
and as to the Vice President we are not afraid
of being Tylerized il Old Abe should wink out.
After the hurraing had ceased there was
goods box rolled out, and one Of our young Re-

homes, peaceable and quiet. l saw only one
drunken man, and he, of course, was one of the

about the discovery of frauds, connected with
the California Land Claims, giving Black the
credit of discovering these frauds. 1t turns out
that Black has been himself mixed up with two

through the city, bound for the Eastern markets,

as indeed all our Iowa cattle are. More cattle

B- An old subscriber and friend, from Vel
low Spring township, writes us the following
letter, under date of June I'd. We think it is
worth putting on file for the benefit Of persons
disposed to hunt cheap lands in Missouri:
Mr.. DuxHAM-Sir You are sending the
Hawk Eye to me ct Kossuth, Iowa, and am
here in Missouri Tor misery, and the reach of
my wagon points westward. NY motto is on

whiskey is so plenty; and also, where they oftel
