The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-09-01

- he eXul alton with VIII cn temporary ana we
might add, accidental advantage over the dis
sentinG cnunties was rccrivtd-the trlnmphan
hnzzas which followed the Tciegraphic an
nouncemrnt in the convention, of the passage,
Nets Land Distribution Bill and Judge Clark
vote in favor of it--as we'll calculated to create
disaifeclion in The democratic party of this
Congressional District; which It would require
great care 10 reconcile. Virwing the matter in
This light, and desiring for one, produce ifpos-
sible reconciliation of these conflicting and
discordant clernen !, we adopted that course
wh CHI we thought bes. calculated, to produce
this result. That was, 10 take part for the
nominee Of that convention, un'il we further
nscer.aned the wishes Of the democracy Of the
District After the Cedar Rapids Convention
representation in hat invention, than in the
one held at Muscaine, We promptly placed the
name Of Judge Clark, at the held of of our col
uun. nd from that time 10 the election, gave him
our undivided support If we mistake no., tie
editor OF the Enquirer, copied two long articles
from our paper bearing directly upon this subject

Muscatine county, Are articles which have
favorable inf alence -pnn our party there, disas-
irons / n the n ,rlh' o.. was this charge an al
Lter thouylt, prompted by some recret motive,
which the editor does not see fit to avow! An
other ground of complaint is, that We have made
attacks upon Judge CLARK. This, we deny and
challenge proof True, we stated that he was
no, the clioice Of the denocracy Of this county
bu, i, was upon the strength ofa test voc IN
our County convention, where there were two
votes 10 one against him. lfthis be disorgani-
zaiion, it is The disorganizntion ofthe dem"cra.
CIV of this county--the banner county OF tn ;
State, who determined after full discussion, that
they did not want him to represent them in
Congress 1t has come to fine pass, II we
cannot publish the result Of a County conVen-
ton, without subj~eting US to the impuaton OF
d,sorgani=ation and treason.
! But,what does the result of The election show,
and where ,es il lcve these men, in p I'M OF
consistency, who are attempting to fasfen on
us the odiu;n ofthis d feat, 1t shows that Du-
huaue County, where the Express he's double
The circulation Of any other paper, has Ven the
democratic ticket, largely increased majority,
are SO ry to acknowledge, we can only boast OF
eleven sub scribers, Cook received 94i NAL
Now, how does it happen that we should pro-
duce oAs4~~-nit 10 Dubuque, and quite an other
in Johnson and Cedar: Ofssss~s -~ts.re we have
a very Iarpe circulation with increased den-
ocra,ic majority we should receive no credit and
where we have but eleven subscnbers,we should
be held responsible for Cook 9 Gal majority, J.
there is any consistency in this mode of reason
inr, it belongs to wiser men than inliabt tht
North of Iowa, to discover it. And if there il
anv Justice, in the course pursued lords Us by
dem cratic journals, we shall be glad to hav
, some one point it out
{ There is one remarkable fact connected wit
: this whole mater, which we cannot undarstand
e4 WHY should Judge Clark run far behind tn
democratic ticket, in those counties where h'
nomination was so tenaciously claimed, while
: this, and Northern counties, which did not par
, ticpate IN his nomination, his mojnrities are In
crease, and yet democrats OF the North charg
ed with his defeat; Let the men who wer
such sticklers for his nomination, and who ar
go ready to denounce those, who dis'pproved t
the manner o that nomination, but generousl
sustained him at the polls, answer this question
; Let them prove by their own party organization
efforts aud votes, that they have off red no pre-
