The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-09-06

sides over the destinies Of the Dubuque Oh
server" has been driven into desperation by
our article Of last evening. He froths and
foams at the mouth, like dog in the last stag
es of Hydrophobia. The truth plainly spoken,
seems to arouse into effervescence all the poi
son of the mans nature. To pronounce him
an iatoierant bigot, an alien in the country and
a traitor to the laws, by having violated that
statutory provision, regulating suffrage, drives
him into state of madness and violence OF
temper, which knows discretion or decency.
Take it cool Doctor, we have little more OF
the same sort in store for you, and shall use It
whenever it becomes necessary, without being
alarmed At any results which may follow. We
have seen just such customers ~ you before
and know exactly how to humor a controversy,
which has everything to gain and nothing bu,
a bad temper to lose, on the enc side.
You talk fippan iy about our misrepresentins
you. There is but one way in which you can
be misre presented; and that is, by mistaking
you for gentleman, or nan of sense We
certainly have not misrep ,senied you in pro-
nouncing you an intoieraat higot; in charging
you with being an alien Or n accusing you OF
having voted last Fall in ti,;- City, when you
had no more right to vote, than the Hotten>
tot" you seem to have sac'i fancy for. You do
not presume to deny these three counts in the in
dictment, because you ani others know them to
be we'll founded, al haus = it is apparent to the
mind Of every reader, thu: it is the repetition
Of these charges, VIII ch pricks you to the
talk about prostisating the columns of journal
to individual defamation, VIII, has by tmpltca
tion and base iasiauatioa assailed the chastity
of every Catholic lady in Tie country and pro-
nounced The Clergy Of urge and respectable
denomination Of christian, band Of desper-
ate and unprincipled Iibertnes. That man is a
beautiful specimen of pro ,reiy. who every day
Of his life is liable to prs, cution for having
violated one Of the penal laws of the land.
But, a. this kind Of writing, seems to render
frantic the Queens Lawful Subject, we will
drop him for the time being, in order that he
may have an opportunity to resume his Know
Nothing duties.
n The aft. Des Moines Star" comes to Us
in mourning for the death Of one of its propri. |
stors, Mr.. Thos. O'Grady, of whom it contains
the following obitudry notice.
Mr.. O'Grady was but little known in this
owing to the brief period of his
residence amongst us, but BY his atfable man
ners and the good qualities of his mind and
heart, he warmly attached those to him with
whom he became acquainted. He vas ma
tive Of County GalAway, ireland, from whence
he emigrated to this country about eight yeas
ago. Some FIVE years OF that time he resided
at the town Of Rome New York, where he has
left many intimate friends. He then removed
te Keokuk in this State, acting for while as
foreman in the Despatch Office. Last April he
purchased an interest in the Star; but was pre-

duties Of his new career until the fret of June
when he arrived at this place only to find an
early grave
Mr.. O'Grady, had NATURALLY, we'll endowed
mind. which was cultivated by much study and
reflection. Honest in purpose, resolute and
determined, and with the most unconquerable
energy, we know no young man who would
have exerted wider or more salutary influence
than O'Grady.
