The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-05-31

RAMPANT ABOLITION UHMAsKED.--Whe
we warn the community that the Seward or.
gans occupy the same position in society as in
cendiaries who set fire to stores in order TO rob
them, many Of our readers are doubtless in.
clined to disbelieve the statement. Every now
and then, however conf rmationof its truth
comes to light in their own columns, and on
the principle that me should be unmasked, we
think it rigt to notice such ebulitions Of candor.
In speaking of the resistance, which in the
opinion ofthe N Y Tribune, ought to be offer
ed to the Nebraska bill, the editor Of that sheet
'livers himself yesterday Of the following SEN
tim,t
"We urge, therefore, unbending detern.ina-
tien on the part Of the Northern members, hos
tile to this intoerable outrage, and demand
them in behalf Of freedom, E behalf of justice
and humanity, resistance to the. last. Better
that confusion should ensue--bet,er that discord
should reign in the national councils-better
that Congress should break up in wild disorder
nay, better that the ,c6pitcl itself should blaze
by the torch of the incendiary, or fall and bury
all its inmates beneath its cruInbling ruins
than that this perfdy and wrong should be fin
ally accomplished
In other words the Tribune is prepared to ap-
plaud the destruction of the capitol BY fire, and
the murder of all its inmates, if by so doing the
passage of the Nebraska bill can be prevented.
We are not aware what means the Tribune has
| at its disposal for the accomplishment of these
! bIoodlhirsty schemes but we recommend them
to the door keepers of the capitol. The same
thing was tried couple of centuries ago in
England by one Guy Fawkes, wh like the
Tribune thought it better that the houses OF
| Parliament should blaze by the torch Of the
| incendiary, or fa!l and bury all their inmates
beneath their crumbling ruins, than that the
perfidy and wrong OF which be complained
| 6: should be finally accomplished But Guy
did not bIazun his scheme to the world the
Tribune does. They had hard work to make
him speak on the rack; the Tribune racked mor-
ally by it's revolutionary instincts, blurts out
readily enough its incendary piots.-[N Y.
Herald.
The above atrocous sentiments from the
New York Tribune, indicate mos. wanton liz
centiousness and prostitution of the press.
The press should endeavor to be correct
exponentIof public sentiment and struggle 10 cor.
rect any violent excesses into. which public opi.
MON in an unguarded hour may be precp tlte'.
But the great misfortune with many is, that they
| assume in all cases to direct public opinion and
instead ofresting content to be the exponents Of
public opinion. they degenerate. into mere ma.
| chine for promulgatng their own opinions and
rejecting their own base passions and preju
dices This is too much the case with a ma
jpriy of the New York papers, especially the
Tribune and Herald. 1t is RIGHTEOUSNESS
which public opinion can and ought to correct.
| If ever moral treason was committed, it ls
in the above extract from the Tribune and if
ever villainous and pestlent wretch deserved
| the ropes end for his boldness and criminality,
| 1t is the public journalist, who is sunk 50 deep
in the filthy pool Of partisan politics, that he
forgets his allegiance to Country, IN his eager
ness to strve his party. What would become
# this country, if such men possessed the in :
fnence and moral power to control the action 81
majority of the people OF this country Ihe
government would not hold together day.
