The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-07-05

MARTIN VAN BuREN's LurE.-Mr Van
Buren, employs the leisure hours of his foreign
soJourn in writing the memorials of his own
remarkable career. No man is more capable
OF giving dspassionate and just account of
the events of the last sixty years, o. Of divest-
ing them of the fal-e character which nome n,ary
passions and srifes have impaired to them, o.
o. clothing the narrative Of great events in the
eloquent, yet measured language of history
But The hours which foreign travel or re sid lr,
atf' 'rd Tor literary labor are few, and a vork IL
the cnarcter ct which we speak would req lire
consultation and comparison of authorities such
as foreign residence will not admit of. Whe-
ther work, thus commenced, ever reaches
the public, is probably, a contingency that gives
little concern to the author, who, having salts
ied all the ambition Of his life, is n I likely 10
vex his tranquil and philosophc age by hur.

A DlSORGANlZER

The editor Of the Anamosa News, who has
county, upon the strength of repeated repre-.
sentatlons that he is an unyielding democrat. is
>tfa'nng every energy to create disatfrctur
lot the democratic party of that county and ha
r'cen'ly appeared as the Secretary and one OF
the horn blowers of Fairvtew Township meet
ing IN said county, called for the purpose OF
organizing an independent ticket to be run at
the approaching election. The object of this
bolt as set forth in the &c News" is to secure the
election of an anti-Nebraska ticket tor that
county.
We fad in tde same paper which contains
the report of this meeting, an editorial rcassur-
ing the public that the editor strictly adheres to
his democratic principles and affinies Not
wlthsianding this mans exceeding great lore for
the democratic party. he finds his way to con-
venton OF disorganzers, composed We doubt
not, principally of whigs. at which :. radical
whig is called to the chair and he the editor in.
troduced to the public as Secretary and one of
the oraio.-s of the occasion The position of
most peculiar one, under The circumstances
II is peculiar for this reason; that before this
disorganizing meeting, at which this tomering
patriot and democrat appeared as Secretary
was called, to organize an anti Nebraska ticket
the regular democratic convention of the coun-
ty had been held and gentleman nominated
for the Legislature who the editor solemnly as
sured the public in his last weeks issue, was
opposed TO the Nebraska act and would use
every means in his power for its repeal. If, as
he stou,ly affirms, he is that said uaiiant demo-
crat, but opposed to the Nebraska act and the
regular democratic nominee reflects perfectly
his vew ws upon this question, which he himself
assures US is the fact, how can he reconcile his
connection with disorganzing convention,
presided over by one of the leading wings of
Jones county, with that course of conduct
which should govern consistent man and an
honest democrat' Really the editor has exhi
bted long and a crooked foot
Another circumstance connected with this
matter places the editor in very unenviable
position. Before the democratic convention of
Jones County which he now repudates, he
was an unsuccessful candidate for Prosecuting
Attorney. This probably accounts for his pre-
sent dssaffection. Really Haddock is rather
fnny democrat.
Perhaps it does not belong TO us to recon
mend course Of action for the democracy OF
Jones county, but the sooner they rid them
selves Of this, aoooiy headed whig in disguise,
the better will it re for the party The man
who pursues such course towards those, who
have given him all the position he has, shoulc
be made to feel the weight of their just indic-
nation lnfdelity TO party and Ieachery to
friends cannot be too promptly and severely re-
buked.

Hon. B. HENN.-As the name of this gentle

We see his name figuring as such in the differ

that Mr.. Hem announced in card be fore his
departure for Washington, that he would not
be candidate, we deem it but Justice 10 that
gentleman to state to the voters of this District
that although his name figured there, he wa.
not candidate Several Western counties

accordance with their instructions; after which
Mr.. Henn's name was withdrawn notwithstan-
