EXPRESS AND HERALD

BY the kindness Of the Publishers We
are favored with the ''Daily Express and
Herald" 1t is the oldest and among
the ablest journals issued at Dubuque.
Many membere of the Democratic par
ty regard. it as too tame and conciliatory
toward the opposition. and candor COM
pels the confession. thatwe as reader of
it during the State canvass, thought it
unfortunate in copying SO much of the
manufactured Kansas 'Horror" from that
most mendacious sheet, the Missouri DEM
ocrat. With the Editorials, of the Ex-
press we have generally been well pleased.
A paper of established character, dis
tinguished for fairness, and exerting an in
fluence co-extensive with the north half
of the state cannot afford the loss of repu-
tation which free use of campaign de-
nnnciation would entail uponi t. The po-
iirtcal articles OF the Express and Herald.
are generally brief and unanswearble.
Its news columns, particularly in Iowa
Items are calculated to post the general
reader more satisfactorily than those of
any other paper we meet. We like it for
it's dignified tone and irrefutable political
facts. 1t has very large circulation and
is well sustained by the commercial in
terests of Dubuque. e

FAYETTE Co. PIONEER.

This valuable newspaper published at
West Union, by ]. Gharky, has been reg
ularly received for several weeks, and we
take this first occasion to thank its excel
lent editor for the favor. We have been
more or less a readerof it for year or
two, and we cheerfully bear witness tothe
uniform dignity that has marked its
course. If newspapers are credited at
all for the development Of a coilntry's re-
sources for the establishment Of order.
social and moral benefits, aud business
facilities. then should the people Of West
Union regard the Pioneer and its editor
with very profound respect.
1t affords US pleasure to notice in the
!" Pioneer" the proceedings OF, a spirited
meeting Of the Democracy Of Fayette
Co. 1t was held on the Goth Sept, at
West Union. Its object was the selection
of delegates to attends district cohEen-
ton at Eldora for the nomination OF d del
egate to the constitutional convention.

know them all personally, and to those
whose loca ion is at all convenient for
trading there, we recommend them as

The mechanical interests of the place
are well represented in our paper.
The Hotels are conducted in such way
as to fear no comparison, and we know
they need fear 10 abatement of business.
Every department Of trade is coaduc-
ted by men who do not forget aollar in

sign, at an early day to give full notice
of Monona, its situation and advantages,
its business, and its enterprising citizens.
We have many kind friends and val

A MOTHER.

In the list of Premiums at the late
Fair of Clayton County, we notice that
three were received by Mrs. Richard
Pearson, of Gutenberg, They were a.
warded for BEST Bed-spread, "Woolen

learn that Mrs. p. is a lady of sirty two
years, and yet these specimens Of skill
and industry were made BY her own
hands. what contrast is this, to the
fashionable style of female education.
Many oungladies of the present, are
taught to thrum the last Polka on a
Piano or Guitar and their admiring
friends pronounce them accomplished
If man is so unfortunate as to marry
one of them, he awakes from the rapture

bread and sew the buttons, on his shirts
We like music, and by no means,
would discourage its cultivation, but let
us have house hold duties we'll perform

nineteen gears a resident of the county,
live as an excmplar to the future wives

This handsome sheet published at West

pleasure to observe the evidence it bears
of the editorial industry and mechanical
skill Of its proprietors. If it could be
equally influential as a Republican jour

still more. Hard words are not argu-

We are under obligations to many
friends, both personal and political, fol
their kindness in procuring and forward
ing US the names of subscribers. There
are yet many offices, from which we
have received no lists, where we know
there are names collected; but we have
been SO slow in getting started, that we
should not wonder if many of our friends
to whom we addressed our Prospectus,
have forgotten us entirely. IA The receipt
of this number will re-assure them of our
existence, and we hope to receive their
lists Immediately.
We send the Times to quite number
of our friends, whose names have been
given us, upon the presumption, that a
paper from this greet Freight Depot will
be desired by them. Ifupon examina-
ton you conclude not to take it from the
office, there will be no harm dono: we do
not wish to compel circulation: we
know this to be point in which all the
back country is interested; as an exami-
nation of our Steam Boat Register and
Market Reports our Freight Delivery
will abundantly show: but if merchants
and others prefer to get information from
McGregor in some other way than this,
we have no complaint to make. We have
thought that by close attention to these
matters, and the mo'athly publication of
all the Freight remaining over at our
Ware houses; we couln render paper of
such commercial value as to induce lis
support by those who do their River bu-
siness here. We hope to merit the con-
idence Of the public, and we feel sure
