The above extract which we take from the Wis

certainly We cannot call it ignorance. Never was
the political unpopularity of any man more fully
demonstrated than was that of Doty at the late ell
ectlon in this Territory. Throughout the western
and northern countless no greater OF more conclu
sve objection was urged against any candidate for
office, than that the candidate was friend ofDo,v.
Hence scarcely half dozen friends of Doty can
be found In the present legislature Doty has prob
ably as many political friends in Racine county as
IN any other county in the Territory, but even here
were the issue strictly Doty or ant-Doty not one
third OF the electors could be induced to vote for

BRIG RosA-This vessel had truly miraculous
escape She was on her way down the lake from
81 Joseph when she was caught in the gale. She
was exposed TO it for FIVE days, during the whole
of which time it was intensely cold The captain
estimates that nearly fifty tons of ice collected upon
the vessel. Though water logged she fortunately
reached this port in safety, and without the loss of
any of her crew. The captain intends laying her
up here for the winter. 1t would be quite too haz-
ardous to attempt the completion of the voyage.

0FThe Hon. William Woodbridge, in
answ n to a communication addressed to him
by number of gentleman Of Milwaukee,
stating that" since the adjournment Of Con-
gress, they had heard from various sources
and especially from Gen Dodge, at pub
lie meeting at their place, that by It's IN
f"cncc, the bill making appropriations for
harbors on the western coast Of Lake 'Michi-
gan cas defeated in tie Sen1c," &c says
that "reIying upon his well known and
openly avowed opinions--that no member
OF Congress was ever more enrnest, more
jealous, nor more open in his efforts to pro-
cure appropriations for all the harbors on
Lake Michjga where the safety Of COM
MERGE required them, (Milwaukce inclu-
sve.) He did not feel himself compelled
by any considerations of honor or soIi-res-
pect, to enter into any controversy with
the Originators Or retailers Of SANDER, nor
with the Jesuitical perverters, for impure
or improper purposes, Of any part Of his
official conduct in these particulars"
How wonderful sensitive are some fthe
great Congressional functonaries upon
matters relating to their official conduct.
An honest and public inquiry constitutes
SANDER and conflicts with their = considera-
tons Of honor and scli-respect." The peo-
pie OF this Territory have an undoubted
right 10 know what the honorable Senator's
conduct was on that committee, or elsewhere
in relation to our harbor affairs; and if
such knowledge has been communicated,
by plain, simple, and true statement of
facts as we believe in every instance has
been given by Gen. Dodge-untl these
facts are disProved, they will not very
readily believe any SANDER has been com
mitted.
The honorable gentleman further states
IN his communication, that he "spoke and
voted in favor of all three Of the contem-
plated works in Wisconsin, though he had
much doubt then, and more now, whether
those works ought at present to be com
menced both at Racine and Southport; as
to Milwaukee he had no doubt" II the
honorable gentleman's doubts as to the
propre'y OF commencing at present the
works at this place, and Southport, increase
with the increasing demand for the COM
mencement: as they seem to have done, it
Will be very dubious case in his mind in
a very few years.
The statement, so far as it goes, does
not differ materially from that made by
General Dodge, at the public meeting in
this place. He slandered no one-made
no "impure or improper" comments upon
the " official conduct of any person con-
nected with our harbor affairs And we
very much regret that the Michigan Sena-
tor should have been forced into - ct,ta
ment of the action of the committee, con-
trary to his ''feelng of delicacy," inasmuch
as 1t does not appear from such statement
thay any honorable gentleman had been
very much slandered.
