The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1853-10-19
OUR DIAPER GENERAL.

The article we published lew Gays since
upon disorganizers HIS fired our iHastrious CO.
temporary of the " Darlington Telegraph with
terrible rage and indignation. Oae would ,hink
that the little gentleman had LOST an eye, o.
tooth, or been caugh, in the snap that ccr'ain
Captain was caught in, during the /" Nigh
Allrm'' at Fort Atkins n some years since,
when Mrs. Gent tn. washcr-won,an, was SO
previously amenting over the condition OF his
pants. We are really sorry ,ha. our mercarial
neigabor has lashed himscf into such fury OF
passion, and if we werenear enough to him, we
would administer gentle dose Of chloro!orIn 10
ease his pains aud restore him to his wonted |
composurc. He no doubt supposed when VIII !
ting his article, that he was delivering to the
world matter which would produce profound
sensation, as it seems evidently TO hive elected
considerable labor and attention; and truly it
would have commanded merit, had not its force
been materially weakened, by the utter poverty
Of lis attempted wit, in connection with amen-
table loss Of temper.
But 10 the ar,icle-what is it, why is it and
who is it froms Why il is simply the old slang
about our being boiler, got up for home IN
sumption, by Jim Morgan, whose life we pub
lished last winter in number Of our paper and
which he was some three months reviewing -
The theme was 50 acceptable to him, that he

was suggested and seriously believed by many,
that the event had so deranged the little gentle
mans mind, that while talking Of himself for
three long months, he supposed all the time that
he was talking Of some one Of the distinguished.
statesmen Of the country. But at length he
awoke from the pleasing reverie, and in place Of
finding that he had laid the genius ofthe land ua.
der'tribute TO him, he had only been performing
simple act of self immolation.
The great effort OF his article seems to be, 10
reject odium upon the Congressional Delega-
ton, aud to convict US of being boiler. In
behalf Of the Delegation we need not utter a
word Of defence, for all that the Telegraph and
kindred sheets, in the fainess, pileness and vio-
lence Of their luminosity, may, or can say of
them, will not impair in the slightest degree, the
confidence the public repose in them as able,
faithful, efi;ient and trust worthy public SER
wants. They have been too long earning their
reputation and have done Intimately too much
service for the State Of Iowa. for such organs to
produce any visible effect in prejadicing the
public mind against them
But, in behalf Of ourselves, a few words NAV
be necessary, to correct any erroneous impress
sions which might be left upon the minds Of
such as read the Telegraph We have never
6otted onrse!f, nor encouraged in Others the bolt
ting Of nomination, and we challenge our Bit
terest enemies to shew the contrary. We have
too often proved the truth of the declaration
here made, to tax the public with an unneces.

prcpriety, briefly allude to pne fact, which, with
all candid and rational men, will effec,ualy set
tie this question, aud shoad as effectually silence
the voice Of SANDER in this respect. We allude
to the increased m'iority given to Judge CLARK
in this county, where, if we have any influence
it would naturally be located. Judge Clarl
had an increased majority in 1852 over 1850, o
nearly fifty votes; and this result was owing il
a very great measure, to the un,iring efforts o
those who were, and are, denounced as his enc
mics. Without abiding to any efforts at tn,
