The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1851-11-05
From Tho Pennsylvania ''uf the 18th ult.,
The glorious Result

The issue Of yesterdays election is given in
the figures we publish this morning We point
to them with heartfelt pride. They show that
our loyal and noble people have deeply and
profoundly felt the responsibility devolved upon
them. Surrounded with opponents Of all hues
and of every faction; assailed by Natives on
the one hand by aboliionists OH another; by
corporation. nongcrs on the other and by the
foes OF the Constitution all; our success is
complete and commanding one. The bold
and bitter demagogue who has been defeated
by the indignant people of Pennsylvania, used
his utmost exertions to PROSTATE and to para-
ize our time honored commonwealth He rallied
under his banner all the foes of the Republic
every fanatic, every factionlst, every federalst,
within our borders, and he excited his adher-
ents by promises and predictions the most ex-
travagant and desperate instigating them to
wager thousands of dollars upon the result,
and denouncing all who would not Vote for
him. Day and night he has been at work
He was almost ubiquitous in his movements;
neglecting his public duties, and enl,sting all
his cohorts, and employing ali his patronage,
for the purpose of disgraciny and degrading a
S:nie that has always stood by the rights Of her
sisters at every hazard, and in every emergency
By this means he infused into his friends a sort
of intoxicating confidence aroused in our
midst the elements of Nativism and Abolition
ism, and compelled his own party to resort to
some Of the most nefarions bargains and sales
by which political history has been tainted.
All would not avail He has been most EN-
phatically and indignantly repudiated, and hrs
course and his conduct stamped with the seal Of
ineffaceable reprobaiion.
On great national princi olcs this contest has
been conducted and consummated. We unfurled
no false hag-no equivocal emblem-no un
meaning promise /; but taking our stand upon
the Constitution, we adhered to it from the hrst
to the last-courting no faction, appealing to no
fanaticism, and defying every party that would
not come up to the COED work. Aided by a
number If national Wings, who would not be
whipped in, in this locality, We have won VIC
tory, that VIC may wear one ut our most
brilliant and most unfading h,nors.
Let our friends of the South read this lesson,
and remember. We are one to them, tree as
steel. They are true brethren-and our equals,
and we have done for them in this fight what we
felt to be no less duty than a pleasure. We
know hor they have waited for and watched
this issue. and now that it is decided in favor
of the right, they will rejoice with us over an
achievement that proves our fidelity to the
Union.
We think We have carried the best part of
our city and county ticket-and we feel thai
Thompson is our next RECORDER; tnat OoIu
smith is our next Coroner: that Loughlln Is
Clerk Of the Quarter Sess ms and that Han
nings is Auditor; each tor term OF three years;
and we are not without hope TINT Kline is
chosen Treasurer, Foulkrod ProthonatTy Il

pletely triumphant; for they al deserve it al

Enough for the present. The work is wei
done, and we are content.
