fy The Herald of yesterday complains that
Senator Jones, and not Judge Clark, was ap-
pointed director Of the Dubuque and Pacific
Railroad; and argues that, because Gen. Jones
supported the Dubuque and Keokuk railroad
and Judge Clark railroad west from Dubuque,
in congress, the latter gentleman shoald have
had position in the Directory. Gen Jones
zealously advocated the D. & X. and Davenport
and Council Bluff Railroads, in Congress, in
obedience to the will of his constituents of the
whole State, repeatedly expressed in their pub.
lie meetings and through their general assem-
bly,. Judge Clark, it should seem, supported
northern railroad west, for the very contrary
reasons The Old railroad policy is now discard
ed. In the new policy, there is less leaning Of
one part on another, less connection of system
and unity Of aim, than in the old; but more in
dependence, more reliance of each part on its
own merits, and more conformity to the de-
mands Of the times. Gen. Jones is the servant
of the people and, so long as he remains in that
capacity, will of course regulate his efforts for
their welfare in obedience to their legitimately
expressed will. He will then be expected to
use his influence to procure grant of lands Gf
need be) to aid in that railroad project which
now animates, and engrosses the attention of
the people of Dubuque county. Another and
a weighty consideration doubtless moved to his
selection as Director. No man could bring to
the work more personal zeal, activity, energy
and tact than will Gen Jones. And this, with
out other cause, would have demanded his selec-
ton in preference to Judge Clark; not mean
ing, however, to disparage the abilities Of the
latter gentleman.

MAIL FACILITIES.

We publish below a letter from gentlemen
in Allamakee county, as the best means of pla-
cling before the public the subject which has
elected his interest The matter undoubtedly
demands attention, and we trust that it will en-
gage the notice Of those who are more able to
give it efficient support. 1t must be, as our cor
respondent remarks, to the interest of Dubuque
to increase the facilities of intercourse between
herself and those sister counties which natural-
ly look to her as their primary market Moth
ing can tend more to improve and develope the
commercial advantages of Dubuque than easy
access, by good roads and frequent, regular
mails, to and from the counties of the interior,
north, west and south. AS showing the rreg
ularity, or inefliciency of the present mail ar
rangements between this and Allamakee coun-
ties, our friend writes us in his private note that
" the Dubuque papers which reach that section,
are generally older than those from New York
city" We trust the subject will be looked to by
those whose attention can be made effective.
Allamakee County, June l, 1853.
Mr.. EDITOR "A year ago last winter sew
eral gentlemen from Allamakee and Clayton
united in petition to Congress for mail route
to be established from Monona, in Clayton
county, to Lansing, in Allamakee, viz, Bunker
Hill, Paint Rock, and Columbus. The petition
was granted, the route was established, and a
contract has been taken by responsible person
to convey the Mails, once week each way,
between the two points. So far, so good. But
it remains to be seen that this route is properly
connected with the rlail from Dubuque to Gar
navillo, and from The latter place to Monona.-
Otherwise, thr: main benefits from the new
route will not be realized. How this is to be
brought about, am not prepared to say but
think tie Post Master and Mail Agent at Du-
buque, if they will give the subject some atten-
ton, can easily arrange it. The want ofMail
facilities to the Northern and North Eastern
psrt of the State has been long severely felt, as
I all the business men of Dubuque are well a
ware. After navigation closes, the communica-
ton seems absolutely to stop. 1t seems to be
the part of wisdom, now that our difficulties are
begun to be remedied, that we should do our
best to make the remedy complete. "What IS
ercry body's business is nobodys,' is trite,
but true saying let it not prove so in this case
You gentlemen of the public Press are especial
| ly interested in the matter.

Gov. HEMPsrEAD AND COUNTY SUBscRIr-
TIoss.-Gov. Hampstead is very severely Gems
ured by the Burlington Telegraph for refusing
to take notice of certain petitions for an extra
session of the legislature to determine the pro-
priety of county subscriptions to Railroad stock.
The language is good deal more strong than
courteous, to say nothing the justice oft 1t is
we'll known that his excellency sopinions are de.
cidedly against all sorts ofspeculation and State
debt-that he is an lmitator of Jackson, in this
respect, and that he has back bone enough to
plant himself firmly upon matter of principle
To those to whom his individual sentiments are
not known, this fact has been made to appear in
repeated official documents. We presume how
ever, that the principal reason for his silence is
that there has been no general expression of the
people in favor Of special session In fact
there is no doubt that, if it were called the
masses would be put up in arms against it. In
these days when such machinery is so well un-
stood, the idea that convention has only to
pull string to force an exposition from the
mouth Of Governor is perfectly preposterous

important to us it behovcs us to act promptly

that Judge Cornelius had written to Gov Lane,
requesting him to desist seizing the Mecella,

THE RESULT

THE RESULT
1t was discovered yesterday morning about an
hour after the opening of the polls that the votes
recorded "against the railroad" had a remark-
able re sembance 10 angels visits, being few and
far between. 1t was thereupon concluded that
the vote "for the railroad" would carry. Moth
ing transpired at the close Of the polls to make
this mistaken conclusion We have no regrets
to make over this result, having done what we
deemed our duty to ourselves and to the public.
We made a fair and honorable opposition TO the
measure, employed none Of the common weap-
ons of attack, and treated friend and foe alike
And while we, Initiating Patrick Henry, show
with submission to the will of the people" there
is no one, we think, has cause to murmur at the
opposition we interposed to the success ofcoun,y
subscription.
The following is the vote on the city loan Of
100000, requiring two thirds in its favor.
