SPEECH OF JUDGE LOWELL.

Judge DWELL said, that the delegation Of
which he was member, represented the heavy
commercial interests of the Northeast of Iowa,
where much capital was embarked in mining
From The day in which Dubuque had been
granted the privilege ofhading with the natives,
It had been The graf and leadin, interests of
that portion of the State; and it was demon
strabe thai no branch fcomnercc had suffered
more from the distractions of the vlyer than
:hr mining il t.rest. In the fall Of .hc year,
when the Mississippi was at its lowest stage,
snellers were compelled to leave their lead
upon its bands, and there keep II, on account of
high freights of.entjmcs fill the mouth OF
April, whtn navigationwas again resumed
These shippers thus had their capital lying idle
for long time, the interest on which was by
no means a small item Of loss. Though the
mining interest suffered most yet other branches
of commerce were often Frustrated by those
inpcdimcnts to the carrying business. The
shippers, and indeed all interested in North
eastern Iowa, had been studying for the past
two years, and putting forth every energy, to
find safe and speedy market east, rather than
an unsafe and speedy one at the South. And it
had been thought that the railroads would fur
nish them with that channel ofex portation. In
the winter they were bound in by the ice nearly
three months, and with three months obstruc-
tons in other seasons--the bed inning of spring,
the latter part of summer, and nearly the whole

GENTLEMEN OF TIE CoNvESTIoS Permit
me to return my sincere thanks for the honor
you have conferred on me, in clecting me to pre-
side over your deliberations. | feel proud of
the selection, for it is of the most important
Conventions that has ever assembled IN this
portion of the country-certainly in the State
Of Iowa. | see the feeling manifested by every
one-l see the anxiety for the attainment ofthe
great object for which this Convention has been
called. | see citizens from different parts of
the country, interested in the contamination of
the work, and it is doubly gratifying to see the
strength represented.
The object to be accomplished you all know
too well, is the removal Of the distractions to
trade and commerce, in consequ nee OF the diff
ticully Of navigating the Rapids Of the Upper
Mississippi and am deeply sensible of the
Importance Of having these difficulties remov-
ed
We have assembled to urge upon Congress
what we think aud know TO be right, in facita
ting to our commerce, in which all in this broad
valley have n mutual interest, from st Antho-
nv's Falls to the Gulf Of Mexico. And, gen
tleme,l, this can only be done by nnanmty OF
action and to secure this, all should endeavor
to the best of their ability, to exercise towards
each other that kindness and gcnticrnonly conr-

The Vote for Frederick Douglas.

At the Wing Convention to nominate mem
Der of Assembly for the Rochester city district,
twenty one votes were cast for friedrich
Douglas. The next morning the New York
papers published Geographic despatch from
Rochester, in which it was SAID
'sThe most active person in electioneerIng for
him Douglas] was l.. b. Jerome, deputy
collector OF customs, and connected with the
Rochester american The votes were all given
by well known silver grays. They had full
half the Convention and could have nominated
a respectable candidate if they had chosen to
bring one forward"
The same statement, substantially, was also
made in the Rochester Democrat, and to both,
the american of yesterday morning replies as
follows:
A complete and overwhelming refutation of
these fabrications is furnished by the vote cast
in the Convention. MIR. Milliner was supported
by the "Silver Grays." The principal "Wool
ly" candidate was notorioulsy Mr.. T. B. Ham

The S;aics and Territories, though they have
arisen within few years, yet have acquired
such an influence Of numbers, that by dellbera-
tons of the preselt character, and passing upon
Congress our demands through our representa-

when territory, and spce her assuming a

is evident that by it the navigation has been

SILVER The production of gold has depre-
ciated the value of silver in comparison, says
the Journal of Commerce, and that too at time
when the relative value of the latter had been
increased by series of financial movements IN
Europe, that fast losing our silver
coin The only remedy which appears feasible,
and likely to be generally acceptable to the
country, seems to be tor Congress to authorize
seignorage to be taken from all the new issues
of silver coin. 1t cannot obtain free circuld-
ton at its present value, as it is worth about
per cent, premium, and all large pieces are
quickly taken for export. There are many OBJ
jections to alloying the coin with baser metals,
which would not apply to reducing the weight.
Lett per cent be taken by the government
from the present value Of the silver coin, and
gold made the sole legal tender Tor all amounts
above three or FIVE dollars, and the export of
coin would at once be stopped, while no one
could be wronged. The present coins would
be worth their full value to the holder; the new
coin could be obtained at par for the convenience
of change and the government would be rcial>r
bursed for all the expenses of the mint

LETTER FROM HON. L. CLARK,
DCBUQUE, Oct. 30, 1851

DUBUQUE, Oct. 90, 1851.
GEyTLEMES ! had the satisfaction to have
received yours of the 25th Of September, in
VIII CHI you invite me to be present at a convention
to be holden at Burlington, on the 23th of this
INST, to consult to the best means of secu-
ring the immediate action Of Congress in the
improvement of the Desmoines and Rock River
Rapids of the Miss ssippi River
In reply, have to remark that it would afford
me no common qualification to be able to COM
ply with your invitation, but my professional
engagements win utterly forbid.
have no reason to suppose that any opinions
OF mine would materially affect the debera-
tons of the Convention, or any conclusions to
which it might arrive; nevertheless, had the
command ofmy time, | should not hesitate to
express my views somewhat at length
Perhaps no constitutional power is less clear
II defined than that which is supposed to in
vclve the right of tintcrnal improvements =
certainly none has been more debated and vey-
cd without coming to definite and satisfactory
conclusions. The great difficulty has been, not
to establish in the Government of the United
States the power to construct works of inter
nal Improvement, but to establish The dividing
line between those which are of sufficient mag
ntude to be national in their character, and those
which fall below that grade
But in reference to the subjects Of your dc
hberatlons, do not think we are required 10
contemplate the distinction. If there are some
objects of internal improvements unmpor-
tant and doubtful, that we may find it difficult
to classify them, must unliestatingly say that
| do not regard the Desmoincs and Rock River
Rapids of that class-if single Improvement on
the Lakes is constitutional and national, | think
those which you contemplate are constitutional
and national, also.
You have my best wishes touching your de
alterations. ] trust they will be harmonious,
wise, and etiectual. | conclude with thu assur-
ance OF readiness on my part, to second your
action of the improvement Of the great river
whose commerce is vital to almost half the
people of the United States, in whatever posi-
ton may occupy.
