IMPRESSIONS ABROAD.

We do not know the man who resides
out of the Territory and who expressed
an opinion on the subject, that supposed
Gen. Dodge could be beaten. This was
the universal impression abroad. Every
one seemed to appreciate the odds that
were arrayed against US. Gen. D. was
reputed to be the most popular man--and
he is--of the Administration party--with
powerfully influential and rich man TO
back him--with all the patronage of gov
ornamental influence anxious and interested
il his behalf-every one expected that he
would be enaine'atly successful. Besides,
ii seems all along to have been taken for
granted that as Territories are considered
the mere creatures Of Government, they
must by consequence give in their adhe-
sion to that government, be its acts right
or wrong. With all these influences
against us, are we defeated! Are we beat
en-! We say no;-and we will continue
to say so, if the majority for Dodge should
turn out to be 500.

FOREIGNERS

1
The wonderful sympathy exhibited BY
the iocos in this place ! short time since
IN behalf of foreigners, was characteristi.
caliy manifested ON Monday last. A Re.
spectacle German Of this town who has
resided in the country upwards Of three
years, and in this town upwards Of seven
months, was taken in hand by one Of
the clerks Of the land Office and his vote
solicited in rather an urgent manner.
The German went up to the polls and
when it was ascertained that he wanted
to vote the Wing ticket, this very same
clerk challenged his vote on the ground
that he had not been naturalized, and of
course his vote was rejected. Foreign
ers, the locos will like you as long as
You will vote their party ticket, but if you
vote any other they will show their at
tachment by humbling you at the polls.

MAINE, o. X.

A gentleman arrived in town last eve
ming informs US that he saw an extract
from late Boston Atlas, which stated
that all the towns and plantations had
been heard from, and that kent's MAORI
ty was 234. That five Wing Congress
men had certainly been elected instead Of
two as it stood at the last election, that the
locos had elected but two Congressman,
and that in one District there was no
choice. The Wings have an overwhelm-
ming majority in the Senate, and a deci-
ded one in the House. Old Tips the

THE WAY 1T WAS DONE.

We prepared rather severe article on
the subject of deposi,ing the uncounted
tickets in the Land Office on the night of
the election, but in consideration of the
severe rebukes the locos have received
from Henry, old Des Moines and Louisa,
and the deplorably small majorities they
have obtained in other counties, we have
not the heart to add anything to their
modification. Why, it is almost doubt
full whether Dodge has go. the Territory,
after all their boastings of three thousand
majority. 1t was queer, though, under
the circumstances, that the Judges should
have selected the Land Office as place
of deposite, when they could have had
the use of an iron safe in the very next
door from the polls. We understand that
the votes, between four and FIVE hundred
in number, were taken up in tin bucket;
that they were safely corered acith paper;
that string was tied round the top; that
they were placed in one of the clerk S
desks: and that James Woods, Esq. had
charge Of the key. 1t ,cas queer, wasn't
it!

WHO ARE THE "WHIPPED
Dogs NOW? --

After all their drilling and maneuvrings
the loco focos are beaten, sadly beaten,
in this County. Not a stone was left un.
turned by them--.their runners were on,
continually, drumming up the faithful
the office holders and their clerks were
instant in season and out of season-and
their calculations were made, some OF
which we saw. One was, that Rich was
to be beaten at least one hundred votes,
and Hawkins by at least eighty. The
Wings trusted to the business of their
cause and the good sense Of the people,
and made very little exertion. Thanks
to that cause and that good sense, they
have not been disappointed. --

CATCHING AT sTRAWs.

We have heard some of the locos con.
graduating themselves on the eloseness Of
the vote between Rich and Dodge in this
precinct. We know that great efforts
were made to have itsaid that Dodge beat
Rich here. Look at the emptying out Of
locos from Wasson's precinct, the head
quarters Of loco focoism; the close vote of
that place will shown fact we saw
them here--that great portion of the
Van Buren, voters came to Burlington
to vote. So, many came from Augusta.

OFFICIAL INTERFERENCE.

How lamentably has one Of the prime
attributes of Democracy been lost sight
Of during the present contest. The party
who are the loudest in their professions
of Democracy, are among the foremost in
using the very means which are from
their nature bound to cause some
of its most beautiful and substantial pill
lars to crumble and decay. Could Thom-
as Jefferson have risen from the grave
and walked our streets on Monday last
could he have seen that class Of men whom
he expected would "not attempt TO infu-
ence the votes Of others, nor take any
part in the business of electioneering" be-
cause he deemed it s'inconsistent with the
spirit of the Constitution and their duties
to it," and because he railways thought
it wrong" could he, once more clothed
with .sflesh and blood" have seen that
class of men, with their clerks and secre-
taries, taking the part they did on that
day 'to influence the votes of others, "
would not his cheeks have burned with
indignation at such conduct? We think
they would. In some communities their
insolence would have been considered in
sufferable. s.5

COUNTING VOTES.

/ Inc greatest anxiety was manifested
IN this city from Monday until Tuesday
night TO know the result Of the election
IN this precinct. 1t took three Judges
and four clerks from late in the after
noon Of Monday till Tuesday evening,
y o'clock, to count six hundred and
eighty votes ! The candidates and their
friends ire were alternately depressed and
elevated during the long interval between
closing the polls on Monday evening and
the proclamation Of the result on fuse
day night. In the mean time the clerks
would report PROCESS sometimes Dodge
would be far ahead Of Rich and then
Rich would be ahead Of Dodge in this
precinct. The tickets for the different
candidates being easily dis,inguishable,
some of the judges amused themselves
by selecting say twenty at a time of one
candidate, which made it appear tina. that
candidate was fast outstripping his COM
petitor. In this way great many were
kept in suspense; and we understand
that one of the minor candidates was so
certain Of his election from these partial
reports, that he had engaged his cham.
payne, the table was set, and all things
were ready! But, alas! the result show
ed that these preliminary arrangements
were altogether too premature.

HE VOUCHED FOR IT.

A very distinguished individual on
whose word the locos placed considerable
reliance, and whose business called him
to travel extensively in Henry, Jefferson
and Van Buren,, on his return home a
few days since, was understood to say
that he would couch a majority of 400
for Dodge in those three counties! Well,
the polls are closed, and the majority for
Dodge will hardly be over that in the
Territory.

The LARGEST YEr.--We were invited
yesterday to look at five pumpkins at the
store Of Bridgman and Partridge. They
are whalers! The largest weighed l59
pounds and measured seven feet two ZACH

weight of the FIVE was CTS pounds--aA
raised from one seed! They grew on
dwellings place on Cedar river, near
Salem, Henry County. We were also
presented with a beautiful cluster of Isa-
bella Grapes. It came from the Lewell-
ings, whose advertisement may be seen
in another column. We believe they are
the first grapes Of the kind raised IN the
Territory. They are delicious. Some
Of she punches weighed over pound.

The Extra Globe, in endeavoring to

among other things, says
''The ballot boxes were deposited in a

that the Democratic votes were LITERALLY
DISCOUNTED -
In this place the ballot box, in the shape
of Tin Bucket, with paper couer, was
