The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1850-07-24

In the face of all these circumstances, there
are among us men who approve of the payment
of this claim, and among these there is one who
stands conspicuous from his position candi.
date for Congress-that man is WIN. H. HEN.
DERSON.
We need not ask the people what they think
of such man. They have heard him asseverate
that the Galphin claim, both principal and inter-
est ought to have been paid. Let them now
bear in mind that their representatives in Con-
gress who have investigated the matter to the
bottom gifts depth, have solemnly protested a.
gainst it as an unjust demand that ought not to
have been paid,
Let these things be borne in mind when a
choice for Representative in Congress has to be
made, and let those who desire to see the Treas
ury guarded from unlawful hands, beware how
they cast their votes.
The approval of the filching of $4,000 by
one official plunderer, should be sufficient to
damn to the lowest depths of political infamy the
man whose tongue could utter, or mind conceive
such an approval-yet such mind and such
tongue has the Wing candidate for Congress-
such mind and such sentiments rules the lam
guage of VIM H. HENDERSON.

for, when you appeal to lawyers sympathy
sir, on such subject as that, you will Away
find them sending forth the generous feelings o
their hearts. Our "Western man. now announ
ced that he was about to close; but all at once
he fell into "mesmeric State,' where he re-
manned for moment, and then burst forth with
the following, which knocks the knocking wo-

At this announcement some five or SIX shocks
of an earthquake were heard in the direction of
the Rocky Mountains;-every mans hair in the
room, who had any on his head, stood right up
on its end; but before any damage was done, our
"Western man" came forth with the following:
81 am not going to Congress- said he; 81 don t
expect to go there. Nobody but lawyers go
there" Again you ought to have seen the
knowing winks ofthe lawyers in the room. Some
one out side muttered to himself, ''it must be
h-ll there, then, fno one but lawyers 60 there. y
Here our "Farmer," emo lawyer ''Western
man of forty years standing,' left the stand,
when some few noisy fellows commenced clap
ping and stamping on the floor. As the crowd
broke up, recognised one of your citizens, who
was once pointed out to me in Dubuque by a
friend as "Orlando.'' You will probably hear
from him by Photograph" He did not recog-

Watch the Hawk.

WILLARD FILLMORE has possessed the conf
dence of the Wing party to an extent never en-
| joyed perhaps by Gen Taylor Hawkeyc Of
the 18th inst
We find this remarkable sentence in the
Hawkey Of the above date, and in such con-
nection as leaves no doubt of It's author inteu.
ton to be observed by the present rulers at
Washington. Would the Hawkcy have seen
such an expression stand out in bold relief upon
its columns week before' Would it's Editor
have listened to its utterance by another with
mpunity, within the sphere of its influence -
But alas! death has stricken down the mighty
one whom the Hawkeye so lately watched as
its master, but now that he is gone-now that
new master has cracked his whip, the Hawkeye,
while chanting dscordant requiem over the re-
mains of its late keeper, turns round to Fillmore
makes his lowest obesance-and in accents
''rough but ready tells him, "you sir possessed
our confidence to greater extent than our late
master.'
Shame! shame! even for the Hawkcye-'tis ignoblc
To thus dcsrcrate his late masters memory,
BY holding up his influence nought
When put in contrast with his
Shame: shame! while robcd in mourning weeds,
TO stab his memory with so foul charge,
But, tits done, and here is 70 und the proof

The Democratic Meeting on Saturday
Night.

i The first business meeting of the Democracy
Of Dubuque preparatory to the election, was held
last Saturday evening over the Davis Saloon.
Senator Shields, the President of the late As.
ISOLATION took the chair, and explained the OBJ
ject of the meeting, and the motives which in.
duced him to make the call
On motion of DR.. T. Mason, Mr.. Shields was
chosen President Of the Association during the
coming campaign. DR.. Mason was chosen Sc
cretary, and VIM. A. Jones Secretary pro tenn.
After disposng of the preliminary business,
MIR. Quigley addressed the meeting in his we'll
known emphatic and eloquent style. He allu-
ded to the candidates Of the Democratic party
in this campaign as the BEST in every respect
"hich the party has brought out during the past
fourteen years. He condemned the apparent a.
pathy which he thought prevailed to an alarm
ing extent at this time, and concluded by calling
upon the party to rally around the old standard,
and roll up the old-fashioned majority, which on
ly Dubuque can give. His sentiments were
heartily approved and warmly applauded
Col. Benton was recognized, and called on
He excused himself in his usual happy manner
alluded to his absence from the State during
the contest thus far-said that he was not aware
of what had been done, or was now doing, in po-
litics but gave his opinion, that on the second
Congressional District depended the salvation Of
the State.
I Ben. NJ. Samuels, Esq, was next called for
and replied in an eloquent, sprit-stirring demo-
cratic speech. He could not perceive that apa-
thy in the ranks which seemed to cause others
to despond He thought when the time for ac-
ton came, blast from the old Democratic trum-
pet would call around the standard Of the party
the men who could not be refused victory
He said that our principles being founded upon
immortal truth, our cause was strong-that of
our opponents weak and hence it required but
mere effort-a mere reach of the hand to take
a victory. Mr.. Samucls was repeatedly applaud
ed during the delivery of his remarks; and at the
close, he was greeted with hearty round
The meeting separated with determination
to make grand rally on next Saturday night,
and demonstrate that neither apathy nor indiffer-
ence existed in the Democratic ranks.
We trust that the resolve of the meeting will
be carried into effect, and that full house will
meet next Saturday, in accordance with the ad-
journing resolution.

ACCIDENTS or THE FOURTH.

SAD ACCIDENT.-But one event occurred in
this village to mar the festivities of the 9TH By
the premature discharge of the cannon early in
the morning, the left hand of Mr.. Lawrence
Belrose was so severely injured, as to render
amputation necessary. The operation was per.
formed by Drs. Copy and Johnson, and the pa.
tent, we are happy to hear, is doing we'll, MIR
B. was soldier in the Mexican war. He is q
young man OF limited means, and is much res
pected; and the severe loss with which he has
met, entities, him to something more than the
sympathies of the people.
A subscription for his benefit has been started
and we hope to see the name of every citizen OF
this place appended to it,-Watertoeon Chroni-
Gle, 9th INST
Duncan McLane, sailor, was killed, in Bos.

WASHINGTON, July l3,
Funeral Ceremonies of President Taylor.
The city exhibited tokens in all directions OF
extreme solemnty. From every quarter the ma
tlonal colors were displayed at half mast draped
in black. The Presidents house, the various
Departments and other public buildings likewise
draped in sable Pennsylvania Avenue and ma
ny other places made the same sad display
Cars, steamboats,, and other conveyances were
crowded with people anxious to pay the last tri-
butte to their departed chief The troops formed
at II O'clock Senators were in attendance at
half past 10. The usual badges Of mourning
were prepared at II o'clock. The Rev. Mr.
Butler delivered an impressive prayer The
Senators then proceeded to the Presidents man
sion, from whence the grand civil and military
professions moved. After performing funeral
obsequies the Senators returned to the Senate
were had in the House The doors of the Exc
cutive mansion were all opened at o'clock for
the admission Of heads of Departments, Foreign
Ministers and others. Every avenue leading
to the mansion not appropriated to the military
and other bodies that were to take part in the
met, Diplomatic Corps Pail Bearers, Members
Of the two Houses Of Congress, who could be
admitted, occupied the East Room. Col Bliss,
Col. Taylor, Of Baltimore, and other relatives of
the deceased occupied a position next to the re-
mains. Ministers all appeared in full court cos
- a.
as follows: ZACHARY TAYLOR, President Of the
United States, aged Co. The coffin was a
magnificent one. The countenance Of the de-
ceased was unchanged, although much emacia-
ted. Mrs Taylor would not consent to en-
balm the body. AS soon as all were assembled,
the Rev. Mr. Smith Pyne Of the Protestant
Episcopal church, performed the solemn burial
service, during which many an eye was moist.
An eloquent discourse was delivered by the Rev
erend gentleman. When he concluded, the
coffin moved, and placed upon the funeral
car, near which the Presidents family was stand
ing. The funeral car was plain hearse under
raised canopy. The American ensigns were
represented in the centre. It was drawn by
eight white horses, with black housings. The
procession moved at 2 clock, when minute guns
were fired. Pail Bearers, were, Mcssrs. Clay,
Cass, Berrien, Webster, and fourteen others
The procession was one and a half miles long
Flowers were strewcd along Pennsylvania Ave
nue. several hundred yards from the White
House The civic procession was estimated
at sixteen thousand There were nineteen bands
| of music.

THE KNocKISGs ACCOUNTED FORA gem
tleman who has heard and watched attentively
the phenomena of the mysterious rappings, has
furnished us with his solution of the matter
which, as being the only rational ex PLANTATION we
have beard, deserves to be recorded
He says that the rappings, when he first heard
them reminded him instantly of the discharges
of an electric battery, each decoration being
double, as in the with them. Now by sup
posing that one of the ladies' is powerfully charp
ed with electricity in a positive form, while tho
other is charged negatively, the phenomenon of
the sounds, or rappings, is at once accounted fer
1t Is we'll known that a person in magnetic
state receives and reflects whatever is in the
mind OF the person in communication; and this
readily explains the general correctness of the
answers given to questions. 1t accounts, also
tor the incorrect replies sometimes given, by
supposing that the impression ofthe questioner's
mind upon that Of the magnetized is weak, COZ
fused or imperfect This appears to US to be an
eminently rational view of the case, and places
the whole subject, if not out ofthe pale of mys-
terry, at least behind the ranks of novelty, By
including it at once among the lnnumerable
demonstrations Of animal magnetism-T.v Y
