The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1850-07-17
Col. Henderson and the Dubuque and Ke-
Oluk Rail ROad

The only modern questions at which Colonel
Henderson attempted an argument, were the
Dubuque and Keokuk Rail Road questions, and
that connected with the Galphin claim. The
party which processes to be friendly to his elec
ton, will not dare to advocate the antiuuated
doctrines of Col. Henderson on national politics,
nor do we believe that they can agree with him
in CHASING the Dubuque and Keokuk Rail Road
as secondary in Importance to that of the DAY.
export and Missouri Road. We do not propose
to institute invidious comparisons between these
contemplated works. Mr.. 1--WE beg pardon,)
Col. Henderson has given us his opinion in ex-
plicit and distinct terms. He has told the peo-
pie of Dubuque, and we hope he may do the
same elsewhere, that the great work in which
the citizens Of the north and SOUTH as we'll as of
the great interior of this State, are deeply inter-
ested, is but Of SECONDARY IMPORTANCE, and
consequently would receive but secondary vatten-
ton from him as their Representative. We want
this sentiment to be borne in mind by the friends
of this road If local questions must have any
weight IN the decision of the coming contest,
there is no other which interests so large por-
ton of the citizens of this Congressional district
as does the Dubuque and Keokuk Rail Road
since this question has been made an issue by the
Whig canddate-who, by the way, repudiates
the doctrines protessed by his party-it is but
just that he have the advantages and disadvan-
tages to which his peculiar views entitle him.
He surely must have spoken the wrong edition
Of his speech at Dubuque, as it is notorious that
not half dozen Wings here are willing to sub
scribe the doctrines advocated by him, whether
in reference to local measures or national poll
tics. We should be pleased to see list of whig
names appended, as supporters of the doctrines
of 'heir candidate for Congress. lfthey believe
as Col. Henderson does, that National Bank
has been, and would still be, a national blessing;
a protective tariff would be an universal pa
nacca to heal all the leaks in the treasury. and
that the Dubuque and Keokuk Rail Road was
but SECONDARY ect,--if the wings of Du-
buque believe all this, we want it to be distinct
ly avowed. Will they avow it?

CHOLERA IN MEx1co.-This insidious dis
ease has committed its desolating ravages in the
tairest portion of the valley of Tezenco. The
city of Mexico had lost, up to the 18th ult, 90
600 inhabitants Of cholera. Excite
ment, terror, and desttution prevailed to an a.
farming extent. Charity and wealth had done
but there have been numerous cases in which
the appalling horrors of famine were no less po-
tent in destruction than the ever-dreaded Cho-
lera

The roads have been fine, and the weather good
Grass is getting plenty, and our horses look
nearly as we'll as when we left home. One of
my horses gave out 400 miles from the bluffs,
and left him.
We are now 900 miles on the road, and we
still have some of the corn we shipped from Du-
buque. There are four wagons in our company
