The following was received from Hon. Geo
w. Jones, too late for insertion last week. We
hope the Washington City papers will do Gen
Jones the justice to copy.
DuBUQUE, Iowa, Oct. 81, 1850.
DoCT. HoLT-Sir: | see in the last No. of the
Express, IN a list Of the yeas and nays, taken on
the motion Of the Hon Mr. Mason, Of Va. to
disagree to an amendment of the bill from the
House of Reps. to extend the charter of an nsu
rance company at Georgetown, that my name
is recorded amongst the yeas.
l do not recolect having given the vote or
the bill at all, but am entirely sure, that if
dld vote in the affirmative; that was at the time
iaborlng under misapprehension as to the qucs
ton before the Senate, as | am not only oppos
ed, and ever have been, to all monopolies, but
also IN Juror of such restrictions and guards as
to hold stockholders of all corporations account,
able to the public for their liabilities.
The publication Of this note will place me in
the position, on this subject, which wish to oc.
cupy before the country.
Respectfully, your obi serv't,
GEO. w. JONES.

OF tNc EXprrSS
The "Sicl1ncss at Belleyue.n

Mr.. EDlroR-ln the Express Of Oct 10th, |
noticed short article entitled "Sickncss at
Bellevue-No Court" in which certain terms
arc employed, which, think, are calculated to
leave an erroneous impression on the public mind
in respect to the health of our town.
As to the town, it can hardly be said that ga
disease of a malignant character has "atiiictcd'
t-nor that any ''dlseaSc' has been $50 prcya-
lent nor ''the panic created thcrchv' among
citizens such, as at all to justify "th in, e.
mite postponcment of "thc District Court" at
least i'll the estimation Of an impartial public
True, some two or three weeks previous to the
time at which the 'Ds:rict Court should have
commenced its session, three of our citizens died
Of disease, unlike in their origin and type; and
during the week preceding Court week, two Of
our citizens and ore stranger died of diseases.
unlike in their origi and symptoms. But for
two or three days preceding Sabbath Oct. 18th,
on which our Judge graciously postponed Court
there was not a case Of sickness Of malignant
character or symptoms in Bellevue. And on
Sabbath on which Court was postponed there
were but two cases of sickness here, and these
slight, that either of the persons affected, Zone
OF bilious fever, Mr. Hczlcp, the other OF hem
oragc ofthc lungs, Mr.. POTTERY could have been
present at Court without much Inconvenience
Both were able to ralls, and actually did walk
about that day. How the ''panic' was created
and who wrote letters to the Judge, isnportuning
apostponemcnt of Court, perhaps,is better known
to politicians interested, and certain persons
from 4 neghboring vicinity than TO the citizens
of Bellevue. The facts here presented, respect
inc the sickness, the most respectable citizens
in Bellevue, acquainted with the circumstances,
can subscribe.
This much | deemed it just to withholding
only that your informant was probably himself
laboring under false impression, growing out
Of magnificd reports, combined with tn" most
astounding fact-''No Court

THE RIGHT REV. JOHN HuGriEs AN ARCH
BIsHoP.--We learn that by 4 brief Of His Holi
ness, Pope Plus TX, dated the 18th of July, the
Sec OF Naw 7 ork has been erected, at the request
the late nrovi"",,,, Council Of Baltimore, int O
an Archicpisco pal See, with the Secs Of Boston,
Hartford, Albany and Buffalo, as Sutfragan
Secs.
BY this the Right Rev. Bishop Hughes is, OF
course, elevated to the dignity OF Archbishop.
The sign of this dignity has been from the
carly ages of the Roman Catholic church, the
Palium, which is made of wool shorn from two
white lambs blessed on the feast of St. Agnes,
virgin, (2lst of january in the convent of ST.
Agnes, in the Via Nomantana, at Rome. The
wool from these lambs, mixed with other wool,
is woven into the Pallium, which consists of a
strip of about three fingers in breadth going
round the neck, and descending in front in one
piece, with six small black crosses upon it
The Pallium, which is borne by the archbishop
on all solemn occasions, as the mark of his dig
nifty, is blessed by the Pope on the alar of St.

STEAMSHIPS FOR IRISH EMIGRANTs.-Mr
McFarane, one Of the speakers, at meeting
in st. Johns, N. B., suggested that a profit
might be made by bringing the ordinary class OF
Irish cmlgrants in steam vessels from Galway,
and he entered into calculations to show the
correctness of his speculation. vessel for
such a service, atlording accommodation to $50
passengers, might be constructed, according to
his estimate, at a cost Of 100000; and his plan
contemplatcs twenty -four voyages to be made
in the year, thus aloting to each steamer, char
tered for this purpose, 5000 cmgrants. SO well
satisfied is Mr.. McFnrlanc that it would be a
paying line, that he declared his readiness to
embark all the capital of which he is master in
the venture and his statements were received
with marked tokens Of approval and concur
renee by the whole assembly.

pork to remain the usual time, say four or five

Great Men Will Differ,

The great man at the head of the Tribune of
this city says: that the Fugitive Slave Law is
Unconstitutional To show how widely diff.
ferent are the views Of other great men, from
those of the learned editor, we quote the follow
ing opinions of Webster, Clay, Fillmore and
Crittenden, able wings too, and great men at
that:
only friend at the head Of the judiciary COM
mittee has bill now before the Senate which [
propose to support with all its provisions to the
fullest extent. '-Danici Uebster on the Fugi-
hUe Stare Bit.

mse) against all objections springing from

What stronger words of approval could men

MIR. Crlttcndcn says " 1t is my clear convic-
ton there is nothing in the last clause, nor in
any part of the sixth section, nor indeed in any
part OF the provisions Of the act, which sus-
Ponds, or was intended to suspend the privilege
OF the writ Of habeas corpus, is any manner
IN conflict with the Constitution"
Now, it must be very evident that Mr.. Wood
of the Tribune stands upon different platform
from Webster, Clay, Fillmore and Crittcndcn
but which of the parties occupy the wing plat
form, is to us a mystery. Who can explain
If Wood is the man, then away with the others
they are not wings; but if Webster, Clay, Crit
tendon and Fillmore stand upon the plank OF
the Constitution, and remain within the iuris-
diction Of the whig party, what becomes of the
Tr5unc' Wings of Northern Iowa, can any
of you tell us, which Of the parties to this qucs
ton is your organ. Do you follow the Tribune
or the Presidents Come explain.
