The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-09-06
From the Chicago Times''

In Yesterdays issue of the Democratic Pres,
is another exhibitation of the impotent madness
whic chracterzes that paper whenever 1t has
occa sion to refer to Senator Douglas. Evi'
IDENTIFY regretting that the attempt made by its
abolition confederates the Tribune, to get up a
mob and personally insult the Senator upon his
return. to his home, had proved abortive, and
had been utterly discontenanced by the citizens
of Chicago, it now turns round and with a
maignity like that Of the serpent VIII" sung the
hand that warmed it into life, it INDUCES its
scoffing rbaldry, and imanr advice.
The Tribune ADVISED Judge Douglas to at
tempt no public speaking. but sntfrr in sill
ence," the advice of the nab organ having
been unattended To, and an announcement hav.
ing been made that Judge ID uJias would ad-
dress his fellow clz ms, It's ally, t" day, advlces
all "o order loving ciiz n: I" 20 curly prepare
to sit it through + it takes till midnight We
hope this advi will b. taken. We also hope
that paper will have tho decency to do what
it promises it will !; give true account o.
what do. 5 take place But the Press designs
no such IN ny. /, says there is design mat
urrd by the most corrupt means, to pack the hall
with f.ients OF Judge Doug las and to use their
endorsement and response to what h, may have
to say; as the opinion of the people of Chicago.
Though we knew that nothing was more COM
on one day, and chntrad ct II the next, still we
did not expect to hear it admit il the face of
the often pea,ed declaring ofits ally and it
self, that under any possible circumstances
could there be go, up c'rporafs guard in this
city to defend the cause of Judge Douglas II
now earnestly appeals to its abolition friends
to ego early lest those who may endorse that
cause should prove too numerous,
The fact is that the Press and is abolition
ally having utterly dispaired OF raising a mob to
put dawn Judge Douglas and seeing that their
reasonable ianatacIsm and disgraceful tupsr-
alton of that gentleman is about to receive the
rebuke which they feel it deserves, they dread
the occasion. Like towards IN a graveyard
they are whistling to keep up each others cour'
age But our principal object in noticing this
matter was to call attention to the dshonorable
purpose which the Press aid its confederate
openly avows. II discloses inadvance, that if
Judge Douglas, conduc' should be Endorsed BY
the people al the meeting, they intended to
proclaim to the world TINT the "endorsment
was the work Of packed meeting that if his
conduct be not endorsed then that the Press and
its ally will in laundering tones proclaim that
Judge Douglas has been rebuksd In the
mean time il appeals TO its friends to go there
and do all in their power to vote down every
thing looking to an endorsement Of the conduct
Of our Senator. II says in advance that if they
tail in having such measure voted down, that
paper and its ally will announce that the en-
dorsment was carried by the trick Of the Chair
man. against the voice Of nine tenths OF those
present.
We notice these things now, that our readers
at distance, may be prepared to receive with
some degree of allowance, any version which
these confederate prints may furnish Of the
meeting on Friday next: No matter what may
occur, the Press has announced for itself and its
ally, that they intend to proclaim that Judge
Douglas has been most Indignantly rebuked and
