The miners' express. (Dubuque, Iowa) 1849-1854, 1854-09-13

ar Hon Joshua r. Giddings, addressed the
people of Chicago on the "politics OF the day
and the Nebraska Bill" at Dearborn Park, on
Monday night.
The Tribune says, "not the slightest disturb
.nce occurred during his speech, which lasted
nearly two hours and it was easy 10 see I" which
side Of the great question, he VAS discussing,
the people leaned. "-[Dub. Observer.
Its no evidence, because Giddings was per-
mt,ed TO exercise his privilege citizen, that
the public sentiment Of Chicago is adverse to
the principles embodied in the NJ braska bill;
but simply an evidence, that democrats are true
conservators OF the constitution and have too
much self respect to be guilty If the high NOR
al msdemeanor of assaing the liberty OF
speech.
Take for example the course pursued in this
city prior To the election. When Mr.. Grimes
the coalition candidate for Governor arrived in
this city, for The purpose of addressing The GU
zens, an arrangement was mutually entered
into, that 3. VI Samuels Esq, should reply 10
him. Mr. Grimes spoke an hour and hait ana
during that time there was not the slightest
interruption When SIR. Grimes descended
from the stand, Mr.. Samuels mounted it and
before he had time TO open his mouth, or hid
uttered one word, the cry was rails to pull h'm
do,cn; ana during tn. three quarters OF an hour
tina, he attempted to speak, he was constantly
subject to interruption and to the most gross
insult With equally much propriety, the
Abolitionis's in Dubuque, might have argued
from this circumstance, that the public sent'
ment Of Dubuque was adverse to the principles
of tn. Nebraska bill, although the result. two
weeks subsequent t. this time, exhibits. d ma
jori,y, upon direct Nebraska issue, of over
two hundred in this township in favor of the
principles Of the bill and in the county OF near
ly FIVE hundred in their favor.
Again the " Dubuque Observer" remarks in
relation to Mr.. Douglas:
Il Notice was givea to the people If CHS
caro, that Mr. Douglas would make another
effort TO address them, in Dearborn Park, at 4
o clock p. NJ, on Monday 4'h inst. Monday
came. the people gathered together to hear MIR.
Douglas make his second effort at vindicaton;
but the Senator was among the missing, having
gone by Express to Indianapolis, where he was
announced to speak the following day.
The crowd in the absence of the Senator
elevated calf on the platform, whose btating,
no doubt, afforded them much amusement as
well as an efficient substitute
This notice of which the .sObserver' speaks,
was given by Mr.. Douglas enemies, who
knew perfectly well, that he had been announc'
ed through the public prints, ten days prior to
this time, TO speak at indianapolis on the fol-
lowing day, and could not fulfill the two en-
gagements.
The alien who presides over the .'Observer,"
thinks it was funny affair. that the roUdies
in the employ of the Aboiitionists at Chicago,
reared stand and mounted upon it calf
where they had announced Mr.. Douglas to
speak. This man thinks the blating Of the
calf = afforded them (the people of Chicago)
much amusement as soelt as an efficient substi
fute." Are we to conclude from the editors
complimentary notice of the calf and the jubilee
Of the ca.tle over the calf that had he been in
Chicago, he would have made one of the mum
Der! Such, seems to be a rational deduction.
And what kind of figure does this fact pre-
sent. 1t presents the anomaly Of man. who
has no stake in the country, who 10 this day a
lawful subject of the Queen Of Great Britain,
encouraging lawlessness and disregard of the
liberties of the country, as reprehensible IN
moral point Of view, az it is disgusting in
social and criminal in political aspect. An
American statesmen comes before his cons,itu
en.s and asks the privilege Of being heard in
his defence; and low, foreigner owing no al
leeiance to the country. encourages a mob to
put him down, to deny to him the liberty Of
Speech Is not this beautiful state of things !?
The ,inge Of shame ought to mantle the cheek
of that man, who, a mere tenant at snferanec,
presumes to question the right Of American CT
tixens to exercise the freedom bequeathed by
their fathers and to encourage disrespect for
the laws and contempt for the institutions of
the country.
This is one Of the legitimate results Of Know
Nothingsm. Such spirit would not be toler-
ated for an hour, were it not for this anti-Re-
publican, an .Law and Order and anti Chris
tan Organization. Are the people of this city
DESTROYS that such stain should be visited upon
Dubuque? If SO, then let them encourage
such sentiments as emanate from the alien, who
pre- sides over the destinies of the " Dubuque
Observer"
