The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-08-04
eAA. sYiTE.


Ma. EuiroS H.iay one Of the eldest cub
ser,her. to the Herald | was surprised that it
al not been lett a, my Office tor two or thee
mornings past. The following edi,aria! which
and in the Herald Of the 2erd will explain the
rcason,
Ia. the Express Of yesterday we t'ce a.
synopsis uf the proceedings Of the City Conn-
Gil. "r..pnrted exclusively for the express. -
The proceedings of the Council il is not at all
probable would have been published ia the t.S
press or any other paper of the city, had II not
been taata motion was made and passed, in
s:ructinF the City Recorder "io furnish the pro
ceedlngs Of the Council q two of the papers Of
the city "a, the meeting on the evening Of me
18th INST, and tina, too at suggestion OF one al
the propretors Of the Herald who was present,
n ported exclusively for the Express would
be oresump,iye evidence to the minds OF some,
that the City Recorder might be one OF the
oontrigidy.
Il will here be perceived that the editor quos's
the Instructions s:vcn to the Recorder "to fur
nish the proceeding, Of the council 10 taco Of
the papers Of the City" Now, notwithstanding
that one Of The prupretors Of that paper was
present at the c,uncil when the order was
p...ed, and the proceedings were published in
hi. paper, charge that this quotation is falsely
made! If this can be proved think it"will BE-
prcsumptive evidence to the minds Of some"
that there "might be" u vein Of lying and pup
p,i.n running through the whole article. II is
true that the council had passed no order for the
publication Of the proceedings until the laal
inst but il is equally true that It was not done
there sat the suggestion Of one Of the proprie
toss Of the Herald" for it was determined en-
before the osganization Of the meeting, and
would have been done if some Of the proPric-
tors" we're in Jericho. The reason Why il wal
not done a, an earlier day is that some Alder
men thought they were sufficiently Interesting
to induce proprietors Of papers to attend ant
take their own notes tor publication. Aftc. the
order was made, they were Published the frs
week in the Herald, and the next in the Express
but the editor Of the Herald, in his small spit.
10 have fling at"one Of the con,rigidy, forgo
h;mrelf 30 far as to falcify the record which ap
pears in his own paper, and refuse me an op-
portunity OF detecting the forgery, in order TIN
may have no "presump,ive evidence o: ,i
malignity,
To show that the Recorder was not instructed
"to furnish the proceedings the council to t,es
Of the paper. Of the City, it will only be neces
sary to refer to the Herald Of the 18th inst
where il will be found that "the Recorder wa
instructed to furnish synopsis Of the proceed
ings Of the city council 70 any Editor who ma.
FIRST call for them" The bile could not b
srewed out by quoting from his own paper cor
rectly, but lie must be forged to hit the harder
1t would not do to share with the Express in III
publication Of proceedings each alternate week
but they must be "reror.ed exclusively" for til
Herald and, forsoo,h, dare not disohey tn
pompous impudence Of that print We Wi
see.
Al for that jackal word "con.rigidy, coine
for trseicel purpose, and with the tragical in
tent ofmurder:ng the moral aud politicnt chm
acser Of many Of the old st and best citizens 9
this community, l shall not quarrel with thu
learned Lexicograp her about its meaning. Wit
the Editor Of the Herald be all the honor OF il
invention, and all the eflss and feathers arts
ing from whatf yer blood and slaughter il ma
cause. Some have interpreted it To mean
potit.eai rat, knawing and biting at every bod
no, ~ dishonest and rapac.ous as itself; other
think |, means "the Buzzard Of the Globe, fiy
ing about and v;eing with the seavenger for fiji
and offal It is high time that this dry biz
were sen, home to rocst. and warn the ANNA
- it valaes il liberty TO cease pecking at me.
