BY WM. H. MERRITT.
HITBOKESDIY, OCTOBER 9S, 1854.
I OUR CITT.
BA*D or TRADE—We
are exceedingly
gratified to learn that the initiatory steps takes
last evening, and on previous occasion*, to or
ganize a Board of Trfcde, h&ve been eminently
successful. The existence of such on institu
tion in Dubuque i* no longer a subject of ex
pectatron,—it is now one ol the fix«d facta-«|
Twenty aix of our public sp'ri'ed business men
have already pledged themselves to exert their
best efforts for iU establishment and for such
men to desire in to will,—and when they will,
the object they have in view ia more than half
accomplished. Under the influence of this
movement the various commercial interests off
our city—embracing her manufacturing, mer
cantile, and all other business department*, will
present an unbroken, unanimous front. Each
class will bo represented, and its voice heard in
furtherance ol the objects for the promotion of
which the Assocration is designed. Jointly,
they will art aa a rni', thereby producing re
suits conducive to the prosperty of ilie whole
i community, that could not reasonably be ex pec
fed from the isolated individual actum unas
socitted ininds. The subject* proper for dis
jt taaion before soch a bedj will undoubtedly
1 ad "to a free interchange of sjntimentson every
thing connected with the commercial require
ments of the city. The I run nels that have
hitherto impeded her progress will have been
removeJ, and she will stride onward in her
march to that high position her geographical
location entitles her to occupy. No longer
herself a divided house, she will do her devoir
«io wipe out thA- *1 i||i»« imsi'hed to ber name
fame by those who have teen and profited
,.,^}y the dissensions and jealous rivalries hereto-
Tere prevalent ainonst her cit'zsns,—distractions
v ^tba', whilst they have retarded her progress as
city, have yielded no s did benefit, individual
4 ly, to those who have indulged thorn, —it
k Is true that while we have been cripplin^acli
other, our neighbors—outsiders—have stepped
.gibrward, and by a masterly policy, borne off the
Kfruits tliat should have been plucked by o#r
own hands. But a better day is about to diwi^
upon us. Taught by experience the direction
j? of the path of duty, let us pursue it, ar.d in so
doing, achieve the destiny that has been visibly
marked out for Dubuque,—and the accomplish
£. ment of which has been, not forfeited, but only
postponed by the temporary blindness with
which we have afflicted ourselva, and the
s-jplneness and lethargy consequent on such
condition. In conclusion, we would ear
.fiestly and fervently urge on every busness
*'-«t|aan in Dubuque to come forward, connect him
islf with the Board of Trade, and put forth his
^Irhcle strength to carry the good work forward
to a victorious accomplishment Remember,
it is not alone the merchant to whom properly
this (natter appertains: the manufacturer is no
l?ss interested, and so, also, is every other
eitizen who has a stake here, either in property,
tor by vta^e of his connection with any of the
osiness enterpwags of the place. Atall events
you do not now aed^md feel the importance
the question, attend, in mait-, die next meet
ig, hear the subject discussed, and doubt
you will take that course that will -place
in unison with those who have put this en
rprise on foot.
As soofl as we are further advised on the
matter, we shall take pleasure and pride in re
curring to it, and in leading our humble eff rts
in its behalf.
Nerer before the present haa Duquq^e »re
fented so many substantial indications of vigor
ous, healthy activity, in all respects, as now dis
J4ay themselves, daily, throughout her busy
li, |n every quarter of the city, buildings
ire going up—many of thelta cf a style and ca
pacity that would make them ornatnev's to any
|lace. The large accession to our population
o**ng the paat six months, has created a de
fnand£or residences and business houses vastly
beyond the accommoaatiorm vf tW city, aa
they were at the opening of the last spring.—
But great as has been the improvement— nu
merous as are the additions to the numb *r of
our dwellings and store houses—Dubuque has
not kept pace, in these respects, with the large
influx of new-comers into her precincts. This
nas been owing wholly to the difficulty of ob_
paining the necessary supplies o' lumber and
Either building materials,—and to the inability
fof Master* Workmen to secure the services of a
sufficient force of mechanics to enable them lo
nirrj forward their respective contracts, though
•ley have been paying the highest rates of »a
wes throughout the whol» season. But for the
^operations of these causes, that have so mate
rially retarded the apparent growth of the city,
she would exhibit at least one third more of
new buildings than are now in process of erec
tion. And, instead of newly arrived families
|»eing Under the necessity of betaking them
^eltes to our densely packed hotels and board
og houses, and being subjected to the heavy
pensea and manifold discomforta incident
4bereto, they would each have been comfoitaMy
fettled at Aomt. We hope that hereafter ample
^preparation will be made to corrcct this state of
t«a||iings. We feel that such will be the case—
Jv
here, unlike the great majority of other pla*
s, to which immigration is tending, there is a
oa the part of all imjnediately con
display and sarry into execution that
liberal spirit of policy which conduces in so
fnarked a manner to tbe progress of the com
munity.
i |ws, to whii
A is petition
Rented, to
Our Real Instate owners, instead of holding
n to their lots, wisely consult their ova inter
sts, by selling them now at prices that justify
*-lhe new comer in purchasing: we say, wisely,
tor as a general rule to which there are but.few
i1 exceptions, a lot, on nhieh a dwelling or other
building haa been erected, largely enhances
value of the contiguous property, and cor
jfrespondingly increases the chances for effecting
jits sale. It is this course that has contributed
~*o efficiently to the growth of Dubuque, snd
r%rhieh
persevered in, superadded to her incal
tulably estimable natural advantage*, will spee
ler on her high career of prosperity at .such a
u ulbjpaee as will aoon cause her to distance all rivals
tad leave them so far behind in the dim obscur
ity of a backward view aa to rendrr them in
visible.
But, thswgh all parts of the City exhibit the
jefresting evidences of progress alluded to, it
t* cLiefly in Main atreet that they are to be ob
served in greatest force. We have heard the
remark frequently made by gentlemen who
have recently arrived, that in no place of the
HM
ol Dubuque, and in few that contained
dodUe its population, had they Been so stirring
ft specficle aa offers itself lo the eye in our
frwfaw— street. What with the splendid,
and substantia' buildings—which we
ftivenot time nor space to particularly enumer.
rtwdy finished and occupied, and others
.Mlgjh||va»w«rd* completipn,-and the ceaseless
fr»»e*aian ol movers, from morn tU dewy
*ve" ttot are wending their way into the inte
0,4 vter, Itera to reap that harvest which awaits
industry and which is more certain and richer
than ever greeted ti e eye of the digter in the
iwihrOH mountain steeps and valleys of Ca
Vv-t iftonH*—it is scene that ia well calculated to
k' fievat* tlM soul, and eheer the mind and warm
tllm heart of him that ia auseeptible of a gener
emotion.
v
We shall proceed. in the course of a day or
4*0* to gather some statistics that will enable
mt«f$&rtrtthe matters, to which, to day, we
~&ave hjitly alluded, in a more tang ble and

We regard it as an extremely fortunate circui
stancc for our citixens that such is the case
They have yet the oppor" unity of making a/
investment that compared with others «.f simi-
lar character, is decidedly of superior value. lu*
the stoek lis's of our great commercial cities,
thatoftias Light comptnies universally holds
the highest rank. It never e'e^enerates to a
position amongst the funfits. Thi arises
froin the circumstances that are invariably
connested with It, uid which we have already
sufficiently illustrated.' But there are some
cogent reasons why our own people eh uhtaow
secure to theinselv s the remainder, or, at least
a respectab'e portion of the unsubscribed $tock
of the Dubuque Gas Light and Coke Co., that
we think it not out of place to set forth. In the
first place, it toil pay. The statistics of lhe
various companies engaged iu this business
show the handsome returns of from 17 to2i)per
cent Now, if money, with all the uncertain,
ties and risks attending the loan of it, either on
per*ot.sl or property tecurity, comminds no
more the current, legkima e operations of
business than from 15 to 30 per cent—
certainly, it «i!l be regarded by every one
conversant with sueh matter.*, as vast'y prefer
able to eiii| l»y it in the sure, fixed and perma
neitt shape of an investment in ihe stock under
consideration, to trusting it out on the faith of
individuals, or the pledge of res] estate subject
to the fluctuations in value that necessarily
rpring from the vicissitudes of the commercia1
world. The political economist always makes
a wide distinction in the value ot' money so
invested, and that wnich it bears when perma
nently secured iu r*sp nsible slocks.
'I his Comptiny, in order to present the largest
and most favorable inducements to the citizens
ol Dubuque to Income more directly ers 'imlly
interested in its aff.nrr,—to afford them the op
portunity of cb'aining aoinetl.ing more than the
mere benefits of its products— by connecting
'hem with it as copartners: in its profits—offer*
guaranty that should leave no one room for
doubt or hesitation. It volunteers to make the
stock taken here a preferred om—that is, if the
dividend on it* entire capital should fall under
20 per cent, that rale at least shall be declared
oil the stock subscribed in Dubuque Then
taking it for granted, as it will be unhesitating
ly admitted by all who will take the trouble to
examine for tl.emaelves, that it will be a profit
able employment of capita^—there is, in the
second place, a reason incidt utal to the forego
ing, why stock in the concern, should be held
here. If the operations of 'he Company are
certain to yield handsome dividends, why per
mit them to be withdraw n from our midst, and
circulated eUen here, when they will produce
no effect in contribut ng to the prosperi'y of
our city, or at lea^, so slight a on ', as to be
inappreciable? We need here every dollar
that can b«» obtained for the carrying on of tiie
business of this town, and the aircumjscent
country—and we should moat unwillingly tol
erate that state of affairs that would abatract
from among us any portion of the general capi
tal,—and especially that which we had produ
ced.
Tn the third place, we hold it an ancontro
vertible proposition, that every community in
whose njid.st, any joint stock company has its
seat of operations, should have a voice in con
'.rolling its general management Tins t*n
only be brought about by ownership of its
stock. Ench stock holder will be a voter, aad
in so far as he is such, will be able to eterci*
that guardianship over his individual interest*
that all feel themselves bound tn display towirds
them for more effectual self pres-'rvatfeo.—
Especially, should cv ry consumer be a stock
holder for reasons in addition to those enumer
ated, that will be apparent lo all who be&cw

The Company will contribute to the advaiHe
ment of the prosperity of our city, in likew^e
furnishing products in great demand, and
which we are now dependent on other place?.—

of fortitude than wisdom to foresee a Nition of
Christian Republicans giving way tj vandal

ONE OX THE POOK DIRFCTOK*.
Dubuque, Oct. 16 1654.
The foilowmg rational anJ enlightened way
of treating the slavery question we find in a
late numlier Blackwood's Edinburgh Mag
az ne. This Magazine has the refutation of
being inc'ired to the tory side of British pol
itics. When even journals of that description
are found advoca'ing th-sol- right of "local
legislatures" to the control of the slavery ques
tion, it is high time we 'ink for the advocates
of the usurp.'d powers of mgress on the sub
ject to lian their beads in shame.— It is from
a review of a late work by Mrs Stowe
"Sunny Memories.*'
We m^y object to slavery in America, as
we may obj.-ct to the same institution in Tur
key, or to serfage in Russia, or

change so
2
r.at as thi-i can be wrought sud­
denly. Christianity itself must be inculcated
not erced, for violence n'ver yt made
converts.
Most assu edly we have no ri»ht to dictate
to other nations, or to inrist Uiit they should
adopt our views in toe regulation of their in
teroal policy. We might just as well attempt
to coerce them in matters of religion, and,
founding upon our belief io lhe purity ot' Pro
testantism, in-ist that the Catholic States shall
renounce the authority of Rome. Certiinty
we shall not improve thecau.-e of the American
neg'O by indu'gmg in bitter terms and un
limited i-bjuri/ation against the Slates which
do not, as yei, see way inirn-diate emmci
pation AU the great reforms ot the world
have been progressive. To has'en them un
duly, arid un it men ore fit to rt-c-ive them, is
the mere work of anarchy and the worlds his

terrible warning atr^msl ihe nej/Iect of a despi

Nxw WHILE F.sitfciir —A shorl time since
we announced that a new fishing ground for
whales had been discovered in the Arc'ic re
gions, and that interested parties had concealed
much of the information relating to it. The
following, from a late number of the London
Times, contains fuller and interesting particu
lars of this imp iitan! discovery
It appears that whalemen, some jears ago,
learned from tlie E quimautt with trhont they
held intercourse that lirge numbers of w hales
resorted to ceriain iiilets arid bays in Divis's
straits and Ba.Hu's bay, where they remained
during the winter for shelter. This informa
tion suggested to Captnn Penny (one of the
officers who has distinguished himself among
the searchers for Sir John Franklin) the idea of
fitting out parties to winter in ihe polar regions,
near the places where the whales resorted, to
secure as many as is-tihle in the full and
spring and lo boil the oil out during the winter
Two vessels were accordingly prepared fo- the
purpose, with iron tanks fitted to them, and so
arranged that the oil, when boiled, could be
conveyed by gut'a percha and other pipes to
every tank in the hold. Bo I. rs, and a supply
of coal for boiling the oil un land wliile in win
ter quarters, were also taken, as w-11 as a
plentiful supply of provis ons anil the necessary
contorts for the lonr Artie winter.
'•Two ships thus equipped, and manned with
thirty three men and three ys, sailed from
Aberdeen on the 13 August, l,-:53, and
reached the fishing ground in Baffin's bay on
the 17ih of Septe nber, where they found an
abundance of whales, ten of which they killed
and secured before the 1st of November. Thry
the.i went into winter qu.ule.-s in Hogarth's
sound, erected their boiling house, and set to
work to bo:l 'her oil. In this work they weie
assisted by fitly EvquimLux engaged for the
purpose.
"Tueir efforts were entirely successful, not
withstanding the cold was lorty egrees below
zero. 'I he acive duties oi !|,e men tendeJ lo
preserve their heaMi, and n ne felt time to
hang heavily j% tingu'ar as it mty seem,
'hat dreadful scourge, tue cholera, broke out
among the Esquimaux and swept off many,
while the crew escaped with slight premoiii
tory sympt ins.
Early in the following spring (the present
year) the fishing wa« resumed will, great sue
cess, although tlie edge of the ice was twenty
miles from the Rb:ps. Seventeen more whales
were Killed, anil after being cut up, wer^
transported by the E-qiimaux in sledges drawn
by do s over ihe ice to Ihe ships, where tlie oil
was boiled as before. One chip was soon filled
with boiled oil and whale-bone, when Captain
Penny sailed for Abeideen, leaving the other
ship to continue the fish.ng and boiling
•'Tile aptiin is of opinion that with a large
commercial company the fishery could be
prosecuted aloiiJ an expensive coast line and
with great advat tige. Two Anwe-an ships
had anticipated the English expedition, and had
been equally successful.
"No traces of Sir J-.hn Franklin were foun

Horatio Seymour. They look upon this elec

with na ional politics. They .vill not vote the
whig ticket, with its abolition budget straped to
its back, nor will they vote for Bronson, when
by so doing they hazard the election of Sey

Tht Ctisc of Geo. IV. Green— Puitim fowul
in the stomach of Mrs. ihcen.
W'e have kept our rraders carefully advised
of the tacts as they have transpired before the
Corom-f's Jury in reference to this uflancholy
case. 1 he Coroner's Jury met on Saturday last,
and it will be seen from the testimony of Dr.
Blaney, which we ^ive below, that flryrhnine,
on" of the most virulent of poison?, was found
in the stomach of Mrs. Green. The Coroner's
Jiiry found a verdict in accordance wiih the
facts, and remanded Mr Green to prison to
await the action of the Grand Jury at the next
-rtn of the Recorder's Court.
In order that the public may understand the
whole subject as thus far developed before the
Jury, it may be well to review the facts as they
have appeared in the evidence. It has appear
ed from the investigation that Green and his
wile lived unhappy together that on Saturdiy,
Sept. IGth, Mrs. Green, though the had not
previously be«-n very well, was about the house,
attending to her ordinary duties that no one
was at home during Saturday night but Mr.
and Mrs Green ami 11. ir littl boy Albert,
and he testified that he slept all night. Strych*
nine, the poison found in the s'.omach of Mrs,
Green, was among tha papers ot med.cine
found in the house of Green and produced ia
evidence before the Jury. About 4 o'clock on
Sunday morning Mr. Green went to the house
of Mrs. Hall and requested her to come over as
Mrs. Green was taken very sfck wi-h cramps
in her stomach about 8 o'clock the evening pse
vious and '-wasvtry bad." Mrs. Hal! went
over after and found Mrs Greeendead. Green
had the grave lor his wife dug in his garden on
Sunday morning before ten o'clock, and from
various other circuinrtaiioes not necessary to
repeat, it is contended that there is very stroag
circumstantial evidence against him
It is proper to say, however, taat the evi
dence thus far has been simply pieliminary, to
the putting the accused on trial for the highest
crime known lo our laws. Mr. Green has had
no opportunity for defence, and athough tbe
coroner's juiy have found a leaiiul verdict
against him, he is still entitled tu a full and
impartial trial, where all the facts will be el
icied.

and ever since he has been prowling abotit,
levying contributions Irom all the adjacent plan

of buckshot from one of his pursuers crippled
him so badly thai he su rendered Al the time
of bis capture he resembled a walking arsenal,
being ar.ned with a shot gun, two large pirtols,
and a long keen narrow bladed butcher knife.
It is presumed he will be tried and eiecuted
