The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1852-07-07

In the lengthy article of the Herald OF Tues
day morning, we find but one charge in the ar
tcle which is couched in the form of an innuen
do, worthy of any reply. l: is as follows:
"Dld youMr Merritt, or did you not write alet-
ter. TO democratic editor in neighboring coun-
ty previous to the April election, in which you
charged the present Judge ofthe District Court
with being no democrat
We unhesltntngly answer no. Can you say
as much in Justification Of your course, toards
other distinguished democrats.
The only letter that we ever wrote upon this
subject, was in reply to one from J. b. Dorr, of
the Western Democrat, asking us to favor him
with certain information concerning the price f
County work, with post script enquirng, how
T. S. Wilson was regarded in this vicinity, as
candidate for nomination to the Judgship-
This letter written long anterior to the hold
ing of the Judicial Convention at Maquoketa,
and before it was positively ascertalned that
Judge Grant, had declined being candidate.
We replied giving him the necessary informa-
ton about county work, and our opinion with
Dubuque, touching the nomination of Judge
Wilson. We stated that there was considerable
opposition to his nomination in this city. At
that time there was. five recolect right, we did
not express an opinion as to who we were in
favor of, although at that time, we freely ad.
init we were in favor of Judge Grant.
We did not expect, when the letter was writ.
ten, that it would be published, although it con.
tains nothing, which we would desire reserved
from the public eye; and would be much graft.
fed under existing circumstances, that whoever
has the letter, would give it publication.
Has the Herald any more faise innuendoes to
administer.
As TO Judge Clark's speech on the Land Bill,
We have it in a revised form from the hand OF
Judge Clark himself and have already given
notice, that we would give it place in our col.
umns, as soon as we could command space.

We discover in Wednesdays Herald, the val
edctory Of Dr. Harrison Holt, and the Salu.a
tory Of ID. A. Mahoney Esq
The Doctor has disposed of his interest 10
Mr.. FL. Stanton. With this new partner We
have no personal acquaintance, but Judge from
what we learn that he is young man worthy

Mr.. Mahoney reiterates his pledge in HE bow

pledge, although we freely confess, from the
following paragraph, which appears side by side
with his Sautatory, that we have little TO hope

As the editor of the Advertiser is nervous from
the excitement produced by the nomination of
Gen. Scott, concluded 1t would be an act Of
kindness to arrange the Wing planks of 1852,
so that it may have them for distribution, and
1 hope it will use due diligence in handing

Sir, the Mississippi is great public highway
| 1t IS commercial channel, but it is national in
its character, and appropriations ought to have
been made long ago for the removal Ut these OBJ

never lessen that obligation nor the necessity
The gentleman has told you that there are
many towns growing up on theMissssppl river
which will be injured by road passing in this
direction. Sir, it is all fancitul; those towns
will not be injured to any very great degree, it
at all, by the construction OF this road; and III
consideration of the plans we have in view, for
system of roads in Iowa, all the chief towns
upon the Mississippi river will be benefited if the
bill passes as we have pr. srned it. But may
we'll ask, What if the result should be partial
| injury to some river towns are towns to be
built I'D at the expense of tn. whole internal
commerce and business of the couttry?
| Now, the gentleman has made himself the
| peculiar chanpion OF the RIVER ih'e!es'. "here
are his associates from Illinois? Is there one
whose district borders upon the Mississippi river
but his owns If mistake not, there arc three dis
tricts IN his State that border upon the Mlssissip-

from the Jacksonville DISTRICT Where is he from
the Cairo district? Where are they? Have they

Now, | wish to state point of more impor-

that this road runs parallel with the Mississippi

fact. All the evidence he gave zor it was that
its two termini were upon tie Mississippi; river
Has he adduced any evidence to show the fact ;

"BoLD STROKE FOR A WIFE.n-Tbe edi-
tor Of the Albany Journal, writes from Genoa
long account of the matrimonial enterprise
of Mr.. Wycof, formerly of New York, in
his pursuit of the hand of Miss Gamble,
daughter of Col John G. Gamble, of Florida
and formerly of Richmond, Va. We give
the following, which is the substance Of the
entire matter:
! Miss G., it appears, had been adopted by
wealthy Englishman, Mr.. Dunlop, on
whose death she came into possession Of a
large fortune. Mr.. w. had long been &C
quainted with the family, and after the death
of Mr.. Dunlap, called on her in London,
and urged her to 60 to the Continent for her
health. She went with her friends, and fall
| ing in with her at various places, and being
very particular in his attentions. At Geneva,
while walking on the lake shore, he asked
her to marry him, Selling her hand, and re-
fusIng TO release il until she consented. As
persons were approaching, she gave the con-
sent, but soon after repented it, and writing
to him that she could not marry him, she
hurried to London, whittier he followed,
insisting on her keeping the engagement.
Again she fled 10 the continent, bu. her
lover, by bribing her courier, endeavored
to entrap her into a parlor at Turin, but
failed. At Genoa, he was more successful
and managed TO get her into room with
him, locking the door and insisting on her
fulfilling her promise Of marriage. Here,
according to the journals letter. violence
was used, chloroform unsuccessfully appli-
ed, and another promise Of marriage exIort-
ed, this time in writing. The lady was after
wards much agitated, but succeeded in max
ing her case known TO the British Consul
who had Mr.. W., with his confedera,es
Miss CANDLES courier and valet, arrested
They were awaiting their trial at the last
accounts. This is brief condensation oil
a very long story.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that Wycof, has been tried and found gull
ty, as was also Miss CANDLES courier, Louis
Vannaud. They were each sentenced to
fifteen months Imprisonment.

article upon the same subject, written by
THOMAS F. Bowie, Esq. Of Prince Georges.

THE FOREIGN NEws.-The intelligence
by the last arrival acquaints US with the long
expected result in the political condition OF
Great Britain-the dissolution of the Russell
ministry-though it seems, that in England,
it was no. supposed that it would so sudden
~ ensue as j. did, and at the time it took
place-and that consequently the announce
ment Of the fact in the House of Comm ons
made quite "a sensation"-as the French
say. The last accounts left the leading
statesmen endeavoring to form a new minis
try. Whoever may be placed in power, we
do not look for any change in the relations
which at present exist between Grea, Britain
and the United States. !, is so manifeslly
the interest Of both countries to preserve
peace, to cultivate friendship, and to act to-
ge,her harm oniously, that movements in
politics cannot seriously alter the actual con.
dillon Of affairs.
Though the great Powers of Europe seem
to be strengthening their positions, and keep.
| ing watchful eye upon each other, there
does not appear to be any reason to expect
that the peace Of the continent is 10 be dis
turbed. We see nothing that looks as if
where, to make, at present, another struggle.
