IRISHMEN AND THE NEUTRAL

In Wednesdays Herald appeared leading edi.
torial which we feel ourself bound to notice.
The editors of the so called Neutral spread out
before THAR readers what we suppose they con-
slider complete quietus to the ST. Patricks day
celebration. Well, if Holt and Mahoney are
the specially appointed commissioned custodi-
ans Of lrishmen in Dubuque-if they be au-
thorized to send forth an imperial pronuncia-
mento declaring, that the Irish American citi
zens of the United States who see fit to cele-
brate the fesial day of their patron Saint, by
so doing, are affording an ExHlBirIoN for ma
live born citizens to laugh and sneer at-if say
Holt and Mahoney are authorized to thus pro-
nounce, and the Irish American citizens OF
Dubuque are to obey them-then, of course
there will be no celebration here on st. Pat.
rcks day, and Holt and Mahoney will rule
But we have a better opinion of Irishmen the v
love old Ireland (not her laws)-they love
their adopted country-ha.e dictation and dem
agoguism, and in spite ofthe prom unciamento
will celebrate ST. Patrick's day conjolntly with
their brethren throughout the length and
breadth of the Union.
But the statements Of the Herald are false
they say procession and exhibition are in con-
temptation no such thing ,oas or IS up to this
time contemplated by the committee of ar
rangemcnts these editors, it would seem, know
more abou the celebration, (Erhibltion) than
the committee whom they proaounce demago-
CUES. And again they insinuate that Patrcks
day celebration, (Efhi5ition) according to them.
induces Na,ivism. .g..
You are told to celebrate the day in a chris
tian-llke manner, obscrve), the mode already
proposed, has been condemncd). Will the
duo please inform as dependents, what they con-
strue a christian like manner We suppose
they take time by the fore lock, and chariiabiy
surmse that our celebration will be an un- chris
like affair.
In fine, we look upon the miserable attemp,
of the Herale to prejudice the minds of Irish
adopted citizens against the celebration OF ST
Patricks day according to their own fashion as
an effort to divide and distract them here, even
as do designing individuals at home. Shame
and confusion on that man calling himself an
Irishlnan who would pursue such course !;
such a one is only fit to black boots for royalty
itself.

OF introducing himself to Conventions. has,
considerably stirred up his bile He pronounces
our statement, that he ,rormcd himself into the
J"dtetal Conrention, after being repudiatcd at
the County Conrention, false in two particulars.
What are the facts' At the County Conven-
ton he was not named as delegate to the Ju-t
dicial convention, while as delegate to the
State convention, he was and badly beaten.
This to modest man, would hare been suifi-
cient hint, that his services were not needed
he however went to the District Convention.
under pretence Of professional business, and
upon temporary organization of the conven- !
ton, declined serving as Secretary, ,on the ground
that he was not delegate. To this announce oi
ment from the Doctor, not one of the Delegates
respond 'd,showing conclusveIy that they knew
nothing about his being delegate
up then, to the time of the temporary organ
lza'ion, he was no delegate Blu; what follows,
when the certificate Of the Dubuque deIega-
ti"n was subsequently, handed to Warner Lew
ls' as Chairman of the Committee an creden-
tails, the Doctors name was found append
ed to the certificate. This, was absolutely with
out the knowledge of three of the six delegates
and it is 10 be presumed without the knowledge
OF any of them. Really the Doctors democra.
cy grows worse and worse.

For the Miners Express
Gen. Jones and his Course.
DUBUQUE, Feb 90
MEssRs EDIToRs


An article under the above
head appeared in the Iowa State Gaz of the 25th.
This article is written by some one who SIGNS
himself, "One of the old guard and who is
no doubt member of the well known Morgan
Holt Il Co., clique. 1t is from the pen Of some
one who like Morgan, Holt & Co, are opposed
to the interest of our young and fourishing
State, and would sacrifice anything could they
but step into Gen. Jones' Senatorial shoes
Yes such men as James NJ. Morgan and Harri-
son Holt, and one of the old Guard would
gladly see our railroad grants defeated could
they by that means secure scat in congress-
The article of one of the old guard would be
much more credi'able to himself had he con-
fined himself to the truth
The assertion which he made that Gen. Jones
is the owner of the Express and at the bottom
of all this clamor, and abuse of Burlington is
groundess in the extreme. AS to Gen Jones
being owner of the Miners Express, some of
the whig organs have published more than once
this base falsehood, and Gen. Jones' enemies
throughout the State cling to the false charge
like a "sick kitten to brick. The author of
the article which appeared in the Gazette
seems much offended at Gen Jones because
he did not oppose the Dubuque and Kcokuk
railroad, contrary to the instructions of his con.
sti,uents md 60 for some particular grants that
would benefit Burlington.
1t is Distinguishing feature in Gen. Jones
Senatorial career that he has done all in his
power to advance the interest of the whole
State and that he has strictly obeyed and adher
ed to the instructions of his constituents. I dpfy
all contradiction whatever and it is for this sim
pie reason that he is censureG by the press at
Burlington and at the Southern part of the
State. One Of the old guard thinks that be
cause Senator Jones was supported by southern
representatives that he should represent the
claims and interest of the southern part of the
State first, and forsooh the senator has impair
tally represented the interests of the whole
State without regard to any particular section
or portion, his course is condemned by few
asprants such as one ofthe old guard 1t mat
ters not what W ight the article will have |
think / safely say that Senator Jones
course has been such a one as will meet the ap
proval of his constituents. -t

THE FATHER OF THE PREsIDENr

The father of President Fillmore is a Metho-
dist preacher, and is at this time Presiding Ell
der in Conference District in New York,
gray with years and reverently pious-loved and
esteemed by all who know hun.
How gratifying it must now be to the father,
in the decline OF life, to look back upon years
that are dark with the past, and see his boy Mill
lard spinning a top, trundng his hoop, or flying
his kite, in all the fondness Of youth, innocent
and happy yielding implicitly to the lessons OF
virtue, which fell from the father lips, around
the fimiv altar, when he invoked the blessing
of heaven upon his rising offspring. His piay-
and counsels were not in vain. AS the fathcr
walked, so went the youth, from boyhood up to
manhood; irnbibng all the virtues Of the holy
man of god, till he became strong and able to
WELD the principles ineulcaed by his father in
his youth the exercise of which soon got HIM
name, and elevated him into positions OF honor,
Responsibility and usefulness, and lately in the
wise counsels of Heaven, elevated him tothe
Presidency of this vast Republic. The old ma x
i'm, setran a chld in the way he should go, so
strongly verified in this instance. May the old
man live vet many years, to the fruit of his
labors Weld hrm rich and heavy harvest of
earthly Joy, in the honors which the American
people are paying the obedent child, the prom
isiny boy, and the tull grown man, Milliard Fill
more, the President Of tire United States
HaHkege.
The above tribute to President Fillmore and his
Father is very good, but 1t requires some little
The Father Of the President and Presiding
Elder spoken Of, in the above article, happens
to be tire Presidents cousin.

Well, they certainly need Court House and
Jail, and if it cannot be procured in any other
way, we really hope that Congress will donate
them few hundred dollars for the purpose ;
that IS If they establish the fact that it is a
general improvement affecting benefciaHy the
Interests Of t'co States or more and we presume
their editors can do this with all ease. They
might have included in this petition an item, for
an Insane Asylum, which would probably have
strengthened their claim to public charity
We hope we don't intrude Messrs Telegraph,

mocratic Journalist, who levels his drt,tiery e5pe
ciatty at jones' when it is intended to effect til,
entire delegation. Itwa, but few weeks since
that this towering Sir Oracle, of the Loca
School Democracy, severely castiyated the edit
or of the Capital Reporter, for mild and Dig
nifed article, designed to ascertain whether ru
NOR was correct, in putting Gen. Dodge down
as inimical to our railroad grants. Paul was
dogged and scandalized for weeks as faithless to
his political trust, because he merely sought in
formation upon subject Of vital Importance to
his readers And yet if we are to believe our
eyes and senses, concerted and organized
scheme is on foot to strike down our democratic
delegation in Congress, simply because they
will not lay their hearts and consciences upon
the sacrifcial altar Of Burlington anbilion-be-
cause they will not abandon the railroad bill now
before Congress, and commit themselves to the
La Fayette and Burlington road; project ex.
clusively of Burlington conception, not six
months old and wholly unauthorized by popular
or Legislative authority Well may we remind
the editor that consistency is jewel"
The war has already commenced upon Jones,
and from unmistakable giyings out, we may
soon expect Gen. Dodge, and Mr.. Hem, to
come in for their full share.
1t is settled then, that dele CATION is To re
ceive the organized opposition of those, who
are opposed to our present Railroad bill before
Congress. unless they will abandon the known
and expressed wishes of their Constituency
Let the opposition fire away--our delegation
hare but one course to pursue e-to act for the
State and not for locality.
Will the editor have the kindness to inform
US upon what authority he bases the charge
hat Gen. Jones, has riu!fcd any portion of his
constituency.

~ The Doctor thinks our democracy con-
sists in the reelection of Gen Jones to the
Senate. The Doctors democracy consists in
having wormed himself into the Judicial Con-
vention, after being repudiated at the County
Convention, and made his boast that he, " Big
Ingen, had killed Jones and laid WIlson on
the shelf.
This reritable Doctors boasted surgical skill
in dissecting his political enemies, consists more
in his supercilous vanity and impudence, than
in anything else.
Give him rope enough and he will hang him
self in due time.
