The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-02-04

what our Neishbors think OF the Herald.
lnthe last Davenport Gazette, we find CON-
municaion from an intelligent citizen Of Linn
county, discoursing upon the schemes Off few
men at Burlington, and the editors of the Du-
buque Herald, to defeat our railroad grants
The writer re-teratcs what we have already
stated, as our honest convictions upon this SUD-
| ject, and we are glad to find that the editor OF
the Gazette, begins to see cause for suspicion.
The plot has been brewing for months, between
the neutral at Burlington and this place, to kill
off Dodge and Jones, by defeating railroad
grants. The people should promptly fix their
seal Of condemnation upon these men. They
are the deadlicst enemies that TIE State has.
We have told them of their intrigues to de
feat our grants, and all the response they IN; Ike,
Is simply denial. If they feel sincere
friendship for proposed grants, why do they
not give The pull lie some intimation oft through
their journaI' Every journal III the State for
the last month, have devoted large portion of
other: and vet not word can We find in the
Herald, except few lines of approval, for the
Big Sioux project These gentlemen must
abandon their political schemes, and rise 10 the
standard of just public sentiment, or find
solace in retirement. They are abusing the
trust OF pupllc Journalists ana II they VIII not
change their su,eidat course, they should be
made 10 wr.the under the s.ing of public indie

u .sRAuRoAD FROM DUBUqUE TO THE Missouri

" at will be seen by the following Edtoria
| correspr ndence of the Burlington Telegraph
that our Representative in Congress, Hon. Lin
coin Clark, has given notice of bill for do
! nation Of land to the State of Iowa to aid in
u constructing railroad westward from Dubu
!. que to the Missouri kifer at the mouth of the
. Big Sioux.
~ "We teei confident that this move has beer
: made by Judge Clark under conviction tha
: the grants heretofore asked for, will not be
made, and should these convictions be confirm
i ed may we not nope that the bill will not only
h be introduced but speedily passed into a law.
h We cannot conceive of any motive unde
'. heaven, that should induce Dubuque editor t.
$ suppose "that the grants heretofore asked 70
lie will not be made unless it be personal hatred
of somebody; and having the right TO guess
we gu:ss that the Herald editor sceil know.
