The following editorial aad letter, from the Galena Courier of the 2d inst., have called forth the letter below from Gen. Jones, U. 8. Senator from lowa. {from the Galena Courier, Nov. 2] A Base Calumay—Letter from Mr. Douglas. At the last hour, when it is impossible to stop the calumny, the enemies of Senator Douglas have started the slander that in his action in securing the Illinois Central Rail- road Grant, be wilfully sacrificed the interests of Galena. Without expecting that the refu- tation will go as fast as the fatsehood, never- theless, 1n justice to Mr. Douglas, we publish the following letter from him on this very sub- ject. It answers the charge and vindicates nim from all blame. What were the circum- stances’ Gen. Jones had it in his power to defeat the measure which has made IIlinois what she is to-day—one of the first States in He expressed his immovable de- the Union. termination to exercise his power, and thereby sacrifice not only Galena, bat a great State; not only one town, but an hundred towns with claims equal to Galena, and for what? For what would he have kept the millions of acres in Illinois, now dotted all over with tarm- houses, school-houses, churches, and peopled by hundrods of thousands of honest yeomanry, ip a condition uo better than that of a barren desert—for what would he have defeated the measure that has raised the value of Illinois State stock from 16 cents on the dollar to 103 and 105—a condition of solvency second to no State in the Union—for what would General George Washington Jones (who now comes in a8 witness against Senator Douglas) have sac- rifeed all this greatness and prosperity? Sim- BR, to get the road to terminate at Dubuque! as it not an exalted, statesmanlike course? Does it not damn this man Jones to infamy for allowing a narrow contracted local feeling to imperil a mighty measure for the good of an empire? He had it in his power to kill the bill that had been brought to the very point of success by the herculean efforts of Douglas, and he vowed his purpose to do it, for the paltry reason that it provided that the ter- minus should be at Galena instead of Du- buque. We ask any man, had he occupied the position that Douglas did, as the champion of the measure, if be would not have pursued the _ course that Douglas did—yield to the demand of the incomparable Jones, for the sake of securing the greatendinview? Bat he did not do this until he had full consulta- tion with all the members of both Houses of Congre-s from Illinois, Whigs and Democrats, and they became convinced there was no other alternative. Woesay he acted the part of a statesman, and we honor him for rising above the standard of such puny whipsters as your Jones, and your Washburne’s, and other: of that ilk, who cannot comprehend a policy higher than dollars and cents. We honor the man who, though reluctantly compelled to yield a point, did so, believing that the inter- eats of o great State were paramount to those of one town. somes Mr. Douglas had insisted on keep- ing the terminus at Galena, and Jones had defeated the dill, where would the execrations of the peuple of this State have fallen? We opine that even Galenians would have united with the whole State in denouncing him as having acted with consummate folly. Noman could stand before the outraged thousands and say that such a policy was right. Galena is said to have lost by it; if so, bold Jones re- sponsible, and not the man who had not the power to change the determination of the dowa Congressional delegation, and others, bolding the balance of power. Hold the local Representative Baker—who was not a Demo- erat, responsible for not attending to his da- ties; but de not thrust the responsibility for bis neglect and incompetency upon Douglas, who was working for the best interests of every town in the State of Illinois. The presentation of the charge by the Re- publicans at this moment, is infamous and cowardly. They could have made it months 2g0, a8 well a: now; but they knew it was un- jast and could be refuted. There are some vther matters involved, of which we could speak. but as the slander has been produced for the use of a day, we are conteat to leave the vindication of Mr. Douglas to the judg- ment of candid men. The following is his let- ter, written from Winchester, in this State, in August last: Wixcuester, Aug. 7, 1853. My Dear Sm: Your letter of the 23th of July, communicating to me the fact that there 43 @ rumor in circulation in Galena, supposed to have come from Gen. Jones, of Iowa, that pending the Illinois Central Railroad grant in the Senate of the United States. an scenes: ment was made between him and me, by which the interests of Galena were sacrificed to those of Dubuque, is rece: I have a distinct recollectivn of the facts of the ease, aud they are in substance as follows: The bill, as drawn and introduced into Congress by my- self, provided for a railroad from the soutkern terminus of the Illinois and Mich gan canal to the mouth of the Obio river, with a branch to Chicago, and apother to Galena, the north- western terminus of the road. Gen. Jones, his colleague, and perbaps some others, ob- jected to Galeza as a terminus, on the ground that the road would not connect with the Mis- sissippi river, and thus a hiatus would be cre- ated in the railroad between the east and west aide of the river. J endeavored to dissuade them from their objections, and to induce therm to allow the bili to pass in the shape I had introduced it, Aut they were immovable, and insisted on defeating the lll unless we would extend the road to Dubuque. Upon fall consultation with my colleagues in both Houses of Congress, it was determined to per- anit the alteration to be made, under the be- lief that the whole bill would be defeated unless we consented to the change, and we thought it was better to allow the change to be made than to lose the bill altogether, al- though we did not think that our lows friends were treating us kindly by attempting to de- fest a great messure for our State on a point et the kind. Under these circumstances, I did cheerfuliy acquiesce and concur in the de- termination of the united delegation of the State, to agree to the change by which the wosd should bo extended to Dubuque, but carefully omitting to provide at what point the crossing should be, whether at Dubuque, at Tete de Morts, or at any intermediate polat I will only add that any insivuation or inti- mation on the of Gen. Jones, or any of hia friends, that I had any collusion with him, aud ‘was willing to sacrifice the interests of Galena to those of Dubaque, or any other point, is basely and infamously false. Very respectfully, your friend, 8. A. Dovenas. Hi. G. Crouch, Esq., Galena, Lil. Gea, Jones’ Letter im Reply tothe Foregoirg. Deevece, Iowa, Nov. 9, 1858. How. 8. A. Doucxas, Chicago, Ill.—Sir — Herewith is inclosed your letter dated Aug 7, 1858, to H. @. Crouch, editor of the Galena, ill., Courier, eut from that paper of the 24 inst, with the editorial a the same, headed—'A Base Calumuy will not condeseend to notice the scurrilous edito- Tiel, predicated upon the many wil/fnl mis- representations of your letter, grea - to deal with you, as more responsible than your instrument. I say “willful misrepresenta- | tron.”” beoause you say you “ have a distinct recollection of tne facts in the case,’”’ and be- wause the journals and debates of the Senate prove your statements to be wholly destitute | of truth, so far as you refer to my colleague | (Gen. A. 0. Dodge) myself and our friends as | having ever expressed or entertained the idea, as you say, of * defeating the bill unless the road was to Dubuque,” though we surely bad as much right so to amend it as our Southern friends of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alsbame had to suggest and require, a3 I | ‘bink they did, that you should make the VOL. XII mee extend to Mobile, fhrough those three tes. You knew well that neither you nor your colleague, Gen Shields, ever such consul- tation, either between yourse'ves or your col- leagues of the House, before I offered amendment to make the road terminate at thee — instead of at Galena. You moreover new equally well, that when I gu towards the close of the debate in the ate on the bill with my amendment, and asked you whether you had any objections to my ing it, stating as I did that it was merely to extend your road to Dubuque, 12 or 15 miles turther West, that you not only freely assented thereto, but than4ed me for the sug- gestion, and that I immediatel: thereafter, in et and hearing, obtained the as- sented also of your colleagues to the same ef- fect. That I then offered it and it was passed without a dissenting vote or objection from any quarter whatever, as the records show. Fou must also recollect that within twenty- four hours after the passage of the bill through the Senate, I informed that 1 had had a conversation with Col. Baker, the then Rep- resentative from Galena in Congress, and that he declared to me that he would not allow the bill to pass the House without having my amendment stricken from it, and that you then said you did not care what Baker wished; that it was right the road should terminate on the jer 2 and so connect with our pro- posed railroad, und that you would go state to your colleagues, Col. Richardson, Maj. Harris, and others ot the House, who would take charge of the bill, and would prevent Baker te making any such amendment in that The assertion on your part that I or my col- league, or avy one of our friends had deter- mined to defeat your bill upon the ground stated by you, or for ap.ecese Teason what- ever is false, and its publication being deferred until the day of the late Illirois election, too late to be contradicted by myself or others, shows that z= and be (your Galena organ) who acted for you, designed to mislead the Galena people, and thus accomplish your sel- fish paces: The journals and the debates of the Senate show that Gen. Dodge and I hear- tily co-operated with you and your colleague in every effort and every vote which was given on that question. For many considerations we could not but be deeply interested in the pas- -— of that bill At the celebration of the completion of the Illinois Central railroad to Dunleith, held at this place in July, 1855, you complimented me in exalted terms in your Speech on that occa- sion asthe person who procured the amen: ment, making Dubuque the terminus of the road; and although you knew that hundreds of your own constituents were there present, you did not intimate that the same had been done contrary to your wishes. You were then ad- dressing an lowa audience whom you wished to propitiate. Again, sir, when (Asgust 26, 1857,) you last visited Dubuque, you had an interview with Dorr, the editor of the Express and Her- ald, of this city, who had, ever s you in- troduced the Kansas and Nebraska bili in the Senate, been your bitter opponent, and the op- ponent that measure. The next morning an editorial article appeared in that paper, of which the following is an extract : “+ But Illinois is not the oni; has been benefitted by the policy and by the la- bors of Stephen A. Douglas. “All the western Staces are indebted to him for the material prosperity which is observable within their borders. We believe, however, that our own State (Lowa) stands next to Lilinois in her ob- ligations to Mr. Douglas. To him more than to any living man is owing the magnificent railroad system planned out of bher—the sys- tem which is destined to make her one of the wealthiest and most important States of the West. Even ourown guod city of Dubuque owes, in a great measure, her present import- ance to the labors of Mr. Douglas. She knows that the extension of the northwestern branch of the Illinois Central to the opposite bank of the Mississippi has greatly added to her pros- perity, and the land grant roads running from here to the interior will still add more towards making her the commercial metropolis of the region north and west of Chicago.’ Two numbers of the paper containing the above extract were sent to you the next day, one to Galena and the other to Chicago, with the expectation that you would have the hon- esty to spurn the offer thus made you by your newly acquired advocate here, to the detri- ment of myself, for whom you then professed friendship. Instead of doing so, however, the same article was re-published in the Times, your organ at Chicago, and that, too, within a very few days after it came out here, and whilst you were still »t Chicago, necessarily within your knowledge, if not at your request Thus, sir, at one time you extolled me in un- me: Sared terms for causing Dubuque to be made the terminus of the I!inois Central Railroad when addressing an Jowa audience; at another, you allow Dorr, your ally and my anscrupulous opponent here, to filch that which justly be- longs to me and appropriate it to your tempo- rary benefit. And now, when arraigned by your constituents for allowing me to make an amendment to your bill, to disadvantage of Galena, (as the people t belie you resort to the dishonest and worthy pretext of saying you were compelied either to allow fie amendment to be made, or to lose the bill entirely, because “ they (myself and colleague) were immovable and insisted on defeating the bill,” &. Neither Gen. Dodge, his father, nor myself, ever voted against you or Gen. Shields on any amendment or proposition of- fered to the bill and it finally passed by yeas and nays 26 to 14; so we had not, as you allege, the power to defeat the bill, as still it would have paszed. My amendwent was offered without consul- tation with anyone, not excepting my own colleague, or any one of my own constituents. i am proud of cite procured such a benefit for the State which has trusted and honored me, but I would spurn it had it been obtained “by collusion” with yourself or any one else— a charge never within my knowledge made at Galena or elsewhere, until now meanly insin- uated by yourself. This, sir, is the third time that you have made “infamously false’ accusations against me, and that { have been compelled to fasten the lie upon you. Though you may, at the sacrifice of jocratic organization, have ef- fected a triumph in your State, as you say, “over Executive and Congressional dictation,” I can but look with contempt upon any fame or ition you may have acquired by a union with “white spirits and black, blue spirits and gray,’’ Black Republicans, South Americans, disappointed office-seekers, &c., as I do upon the miserable resort to opprobious epithetscon- nected with my name, but covered with a con- tingency which gave a sure escape. Gro. Wattace Jonns. P. S. This was prepared at tho time and place it bears date, and would have been sent to you had I known where it would reach you. As you are still canvassing the country, I ad- dross it to you at our own home, and publish a copy of the same in order to make sare of its being seen by you. Gro. W. Jones.
