DAVENPORT GAZETTE FIRST ISSUE

From the Iowa City Standard:
We have now before us the first number of this neatly printed paper, published at Davenport, Scott county, Iowa, edited by Alfred Sanders, Esq., late of Cincinnati. From the ability exhibited in the editorial columns of this number, and the reputation of Mr. Sanders as a writer, the Whigs of Iowa may confidently expect to find in him an able and faithful supporter. We hope that his paper may receive the liberal patronage that it merits justly deserve, and that success may crown his laudable efforts.
