We are firmly impressed with the belief that

what shall that action be ! The point to he

The SURPLUS REvENUE.-The Democrats of
Congress are very generally for paying the
debts OF the Government with the surplus re-
venue, and will therefore resist to the Iast any
measure or measures for its expenditure in
any other manner, which may serve to imply
that such will not be the main use to which it
is to be put. We have no idea that any

TO THE PEOPLE OF DUBUQUE COUN-

You are called upon to vote to take stock in
what is called the Dubuque and Pacific Railroad,
viz: The county two, and the City one hun

This seems to be pretty heavy sum to be put
at the disposal Of any company Of men, when
all past experience goes to admonish the public
against such risks, and this in addition to proba.
bly, the heaviest tax that was ever paid by any
other community of like numbers, except in
California.
But the advocates of this measure will tell US
that the money will not have to be raised from
Taxation, TO be levied on our property that the
credit ofthe county is all sufficient to do the
business. My word for it, this is all gammon,
Those that say it do not believe one word of it
themselves. The twenty thousand year at
least, viii have to come by Taxation, viz the
interest. We are fiattered to make us believe
that in a few years, at farihest, the burden OF
Taxation will be greatly reduced. All these
things are held out as an inducement to the peo
pie to suffer themselves to be taxed by soul
less Company or Corporation.
Some individuals in that company have souls
perhaps Individually, but in their corporate ca

II Is passing strange if these things be sc
feasible, and SO easily accomplished and at the

give the county ten thousand dollars for he

Gov. GoRMAs has fully entered upon the
discharge of his official duties. In his first
interview with the Sioux and Winneba goes, the
chiefs and head men of which tribes have already
waited upon him, he communicated TO them
that Their rights should be sacredIy protected,
and the laws passed for their benefit, faithfully
administered, and that on their part they must
preserve peace among themselves, and cease
their tribal ieuds. They fully comprehended
that the Governor was in earnest and not To be
tr,fied with; that he would do them Justice,
and at the same time inhct them upon any one,
or party OF them that would interft re with the
rights OF the whites, or start on war party
against any neishboring tribe. They have

pared Geo. w. Jones in the political world to a
Dredge Boat in our harbor. Geo. w. Jones
promises huely-he promises to obey the will
of the people-to respect the wishes of his con

principles. But he has not done so.

Herald.
The idea of independent journalism seems so
opposed to all the experience of the Herald in
s lch matters, that it is easy to understand the
reason OF lis continual prating about "master,' y
'serfdom, "chains and slaverie' and such like
These are the suggestions of its own miserable
condition, and charity makes us pity the weak
ness which induces them.
Tie Herald re-produces its fling at Senator
Jones, with dressing. After two or three days
study, it finds that it had made a comparison,
| which it extends 10 Us at length. True to its
| vocation, it charges upon him non performance
of his promises, without stating where the breach
lies. This is bad pleading and cannot require
an answer. 1t is, however, we fear, the habit
of the Herald to make assertions without sup

though such a course is always unjust it is this
very fact, it would seem, which commends it
to the special appreciation of that journal
We infer from the word emphasized by being
quoted as well as put in italics, that the Herald
had vague idea of being sarcastic To be sure
the effort is sickly failure; but that is not as
cribable to want Of will, but Of ability. These
little harmless attempts at sarcasm always in-
