The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1850-08-14
Tlle Election.

such force as to confound them with confusion.
This is no more than what should have been
done. 1t was due to the principles of the De-
mocratic party, that the men selected to uphold
these principles should be elected twas equal
ly due to the Galphins, that their misdeeds should
be rebuked, and that the men selected by them
to perpetuate their abuses, should be defeated
All this has been done-thanks to the patriotism
and love of justice and truth dwelling in the
hearts of the people.
We have not space to enlarge upon the profits
of this victory-we content ourselves with sta
ting the results. Elsewhere, the vote for Gov
ernor and Congressman will be found. Here
we propose to say few words upon the Assem-
blymen elect. We begin with
DUBUQUE AND DELAWARE CoUNrIEs.-From
this district, Gen. Lewis is elected to the Sem
ate, and Messrs. Gildea, Eaton, and Crawford
to the House. We have already expressed our
opinion of the worth and ability of these gentle
men. Now, that they are elected, we have no
hesitation in saying that the interest of the peo-
pie are safe in their hands.
CLAYTON CoUNTY-we believe elects Price,
Wing. He gulled the credulous people of the
county with the idea, that if they elected him to
the Legislature, every stream should be bridged
every hollow in the roads filled up-and every
hill observation-disclosures should intersect each
other at every farm-yard, and the county seat
should be Just where he. liked. Now, that he is
elected, we shall see-and the Claytonians shall
see, but too late, that in the next Legislature,
they have elected mere cypher.
JACKSON AND JoNEs.-Dr. Sales is elected to
the Senate from this district, and Messrs Good
enow and Wyckoff to the House. Our opinion
Of these gentlemen was given after hearing of
their nomination, and we have nothing to take
back from the favorable notice given then. They
are all good democrats and business men, and
we believe that the interests of their constitu-
ents are safe in their care. Jackson county, from
some untoward circumstances, is falling behind
her usual democratic majorities. Upon her pres
ent representatives will depend much of her fl-
ture course.
CLINTON AND ScoTT-These counties elect
Mr.. Leffngwell to the Senate, "a democratic
gain,) and Messrs. Haun and Summers to the
House-the former another gain. Messrs. Lief.
fingwell and Summers have been in the Legis-
lature, and made excellent members. The form
er is ready, able debater; the latter has clear
perception, correct judgment, and decision of
character to act upon his own convictions. We
have not the pleasure of an acquaintance with
Mr. Haun, but have heard him spoken of as an
intelligent and correct business man at home.
L1sN.-This county will be represented by
Isaac Nj. Preston-a democratic gain. Mr.
Preston was U. S. District Attorney under the
late administration, made way for pretty good
Galphin, and now succeeds another of the same
party. Linn will be well represented in the
next Assembly.
JOHNSON County DIsrR1cT.--Mr. Fulsom,
DEM, succeeds in this. No change in politics.
MuscATINE.-This Wing county elects de
mocrat to the House, (another gan.) Mr.. Par
win beats of the strongest Wings in the State,
popularity, which is always an effect of good
conduct, or Of those qualities, from which good
is inferred.
CEDAR CoUNTY.-No change in politics.
Mr.. Taylor, DEM, succeeds Belts, of the same
party. We are not acquainted with the former
gentlemen; if he fills the place of honest Belts,
his constituents will not regret the choice made
at this election. 80
Louisa elects Gamhle--a democratic gain
This strong hold of Whiggery is seized, and the
banner Of democratic principles floats triumph
antly over its beautiful plains. Springer, the
Wing candidate, for u. S. Senator, was elected
in this stronghold as Prosecuting Attorney by
% majority. This is the only spoke of Wing
gerry left in this hitherto crack Wing county.
Next week we shall continue to give the names
of Assemblymen elect in detail. Suffice it for
the present to state, that our success has been
far beyond the reach of our utmost anticipa-
tons, both in the character and ability of the
members Of our party elect, as well as in our nu-
merical success. Iowa has outdone all her form
er exertions-she has covered herself with the
panoply Of Democratic glory.
Police REPoRTs.-T Thomas ODonnell was
brought before Justice Gillian, one day last
week, on the charge Of using deadly weapons
in quarrel with Joseph Swearington, and was
required to give a $40O, bond for his appearance
before the District Court.
The quarrel, we believe, grew out of a dog
fight, species Of amusement which is becom
ing quite too common in our streets
Donnell a. well as Swearington have here
tofOre, 70 far - we know, sustained the charac-
Ter o. peaceable men; and in this case there
would hayo probably been nothing serious, but
for the miserable practice Of carrying weapons.
New Post Office has been established at
Smith fsrry, in this county, and VIM. Smith
Iappcia.ed Post Master.
