The Burlington weekly hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington [Iowa]) 1860-1876, 1864-08-27

The papers found In the Office Of Dan. W.
Voorhees, Of lndians, ennumeraAed In
Co. Carrineton's letter - the scoundrel,
which W p1blish, show plainly enough
what the leaders mean, and hisoompliciky
In ne purpose. We. shall probably have
much more information on the subject be-
fore the day Of eleotion-more Of detail
though nothing has been wanting for q
long time % satisfy intelligent observers
Of the true design.
We call attention to it now, because we
believe nothing more than knowledge Of
Of the purpose II required to effsctually
Illustrate it. Tha people Of this country
are not likely to submit to any such at-
tempt to substitute forc6 for the freedom Of
the elective franchise. But to do this they
must know and recognize the infamous
purpose, and be fully prepared to put it
down. That il all that IL required. We
propose no interference with the rights Of
any man to vote. And we incline to the
opinion that if Copperheads attempt to
carry out their design they will find the
road entirely too hard to travel.

~Marshal Murray, on the I'D inst,
seized thirty-two cases of revolvers, at
No. 42 Walker street, New York, part of a
large lot purchased Of the Savage Arms
Company, and intended for the "Sons Of
Liberty" in Indiana. About the same
number were seized in Indianapolis the
other day, as our dispatches have already
informed our readers. These s'Sons Of
Liberty" seem to be exceedingly anxious
for arms. Wouldn't they be better fitted
with . seasonable application Of hemp?-
Gen. Darlington seems to be making him.
self we'll acquainted with the designs and
movements of the desperate villains, and
We think will take good care Of them. He
is not q man likely to palter with them in
. double sense, when the time for action
comes, as We guess Dan Voorhees, under
stands by this time-that is if he can tun-
derstand anything. qa

ratio, il now reported to be anxious TO pre-
side over the Chicago bear garden which is
to be opened on Monday next What .
terrible falling of is that from his recent
pretensions! He wanted to be . candidate
for the Presidency. Now, after demon
strating his willingness to sacrifice his
country to his ambition, after in all modes
proving himself anxious. to give aid and
comfort to the armed traitors, he finds it q
question whether he will get the infamous
sop Of presiding over the howlings and
hissings Of the gang of shoulder-hitters,
who win meet to discuss who il the better
villain of them all! It did not suffice, 1t
seems, that he condesended to call the New
York rioters his friends" He did notac-
tually takeon himself part oftheir dangers.
II he had lead the gang probably his as
pirations would have had better chance
Of being gratified.
Ha-Our readers will probably be eau
tious how they credit rumors Of political
character about these days. The Chicago
Convention meets next Monday. Until it
is over, At all events, it is very likely that
we shall have innumerable rumors in
tended in some way to affect its action or
public opinion. It will be best for all to
confide in nothing until it is proved be-
yond question to be true. There il safety
In that. We think our dispatches Of yes
terday contained some examples. We shall
not take the trouble to deny them. People
must exercise their own Judgment.
- A large number Of pickpockets and
other light Fingered gentry are said to be
congregating at Chicago, in anticipation Of
the Copperhead assemblage Of next Mon
day, with intent to ply their vocstion in the
crowd. That is hardly fair. They ought
not TO make prey oftheir brothers. That is
. violation Of what is said to be funda-
mental principle Of the fraternity.
~ A Cincinnati dispatch to the rebel
organ in Chicago says that count Of noses
has been made among the delegates to CHI
cago, and that the contest between Fillmore
and Mcclellan will be very close! That Is
rich. Wonder If gudgeons are expected to
bite at that bait
~ We are glad to see that the work OF
recruiting still goes on in our city, although
1t is well known that the city IL out Of the
DRAFT. Citizens are paying liberal bounties
for substitutes, and We hope all who are
able to do 30 viii send men to the field
even II our city Is ahead. We know Of
several Who have done 30 within afew days
and others win do 80 whenever they can
find men willing to 90.
