The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1850-03-27
A Blast on n Strange BuSle.

We take pleasure in publishing the following
communication from one of our most worthy
citizens, as expressive, not only of inivdual at
tachment to our glorious Union, but afford
ing Just and we'll deserved tribute to the posi-
ton maintained by the State of which he is a
ctizen.,
! The paper to which he refers, is vile aboli-
ton sheet, openly advocating the unholy doc
trinc of dissolution of the Union
DuBUeUE, Iowa, March 21st, 1850.
To the Editor ofthe CAN'T SLAVERY BUGLE."-
published at Saline, Conmbana Co. Ohio.)
SIR: have been in receipt for some months
back, of an infamous sheet bearing the above IT,
tie, which some one, unbeknown to me, has,
had supposed sent me as matter of curiositv.
continued taking the ioathsome thing from the
Post Office, hoping that time would develop the
name of the mysterious donor. But Judge of my
surprise, when few days ago, l received
number of the thing, in which was enclosed
bill with request to forward to you the amount
Of one years subscription. Now, sir, would
wish to know, who has had the presumption to
forward or give you my name as subscriber
who could have presumed so far as to have sup
posed for a moment, that could have been gull
ty before God and man of contributing one cent
towards the support of paper, the open and a.
vowed advocate of anarchy and treason, in all
their most hideous and loathsomc forms? for
such paper Mr.. Editor, l most unhesitatingly
pronounce yours to be. Why sir, could al
most weep to think that any one of my country
men should estimate my character so loo as to
suppose that would contribute my mite for the
purchase of an insidious poison, to circulate a.
mong the citizens of our Glorious Union, to be
by them imbibed, until madness and phrenzy
should seize possession of their souls; with the
incendiarys torch in hand; led on by the spirit
of fanaticism; they would set in blaze our be-
l0red constitution, the sheet anchor of hopes;
in the flames of which would perish forever from
the world, the last hope Of mans amelioration
No, sir, you, or the person from whom you have
received my name, have mistaken their man.
Know, sir that am a citizen of the United
States. love my country, and would if needs
be-, shed the last drop of my blood in defense of
the Union you assail. / am also sir, citizen of
the State of Ioaca, the only free State in the I'M
ion, which has not disgraced itself through its
legislature, by instructing it's Senators to vote
for a measure which, if carried is sure to bring
about the very dissolution which you seek and
advocate. This is distinction sir, for our State,
for which as an humble citizen feel proud, and
my earnest prayer is, that Iowa, Young Iowa,
may long continue to be like city set upon an
eminencc; may it's light shine abroad, and ever
be beacon to it's older Sisters, and set them an
example of Justice; knowing neither North,
South, East or West-nothng but the Union,
now and for ever
Now sir, in conclusion, would say: think
not to find eo-operator with you upon the soil
Of Iowa. She has not son so base. Go seek
some honest employment, and "Repent of this
thy wckedness, and pray God if perhaps the
thought Of thy heart may be forgiven thee, for
l perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness
and the bonds of iniquity." l am &C.,
