ling it, loco-focoism, is swep, from the Ter

all looks very well on paper; but its ac-

task Of some difficulty. The avowal, how
ever, may be Of service in opening the
eyes Of democrats-if any such there be-
who have lent willing ear to the no-party
appeals which have been made to them by
active wings in favor Of Mr.. Lowe. The
battle 70 be decided on Monday next is but
the precursor Of that which the wings are
preparing to make at the first State cleo
tion under the constitution; and the slight
est falling off from the democratic strength,
as manifested in the election Of Delegate,
will be triumphantiy held up as proof Of
the advance Of whig principles, and will
be used to- stimulate the members Of that
party to renewed and more desperate ex-
ertions. Democrats should ponder on this,
before voting against any Of the nominees
Of their party, and before they scratch sim
gle name from off the regularly nominated
ticket. If they will but do 80 no fears
need be apprehended Of the result. A

Discussion At Davenport.

-. ,---.--. ooih Inlss 1245,
DEAR SIR:-On Saturday last, hand
bill was circulated in our town, stating
that Gen. Lowe, the wing candidate for
Congress, would address the people Of Scott
county OH Monday at four o'clock, and re-
guessing Gen. Dodge, the opposing candi-
date, 10 attend. AT this time Dodge was in
Dubuque, and Lowe must have known it.
Indeed, he has said, he had no idea of meet
ing Dodge here. skg
BY sheer accident Dodge reached here
at o'clock, and on Monday, a very ami
mated discussion took place, in which Gen.
Lowe, much to the modification Of his
friends, came off second best.
Gen. Lowe, as usual, made great cry
ofa little wool. Duinrg six years Of public
service, he could point ont but one mistake,
and that not in any act Of Gen. Dojge's-
not in any omission Of his 10 discharge his
duty to his constituents-but III the ex-
preston OF an opinion in s'circular to
the people, that not one foot more Of land
could be added 10 our boundaries beyond
the Congressional boundaries. The bur
den Of his song, from beginning 10 end,
was "beundary," boundary" Poor soul!
ne seemed 70 think thai on this question Of
boundary, he, who is opposed toihe entire
constitution and all its noble provisions,
could ride into Congress, and defeat the
democratic party in Iowa. H
Dodge replied with. dignity, and with
great free; he met and mantully exposed
the shallow pretences and false. logic of
Lowe, in the most conclusive manner;
proved that he was the friendtof the con-
sti.niion with large boundaries That he
had done all that could be done under the
circumstances in which lie was placed.
He explained his circular to the entire sat
isfaclion Of his friends; and in very hap
py manner ridiculed the propensity Of Gen.
Lowe t., shiver lance with yinton, Dun
can, and the other great men Of. Congress.
It is the opinion of some that before Gen.
Lowe ventures into that contest, he had
better dispose Of some less pretending OPP |
ponents that are in his way. fAS9f
Lowe insidiously attacked the consiiiu-
ton; Dodge openly and maniully defended
it; and his speech throughout was receiv-
ed BY our friends with the most hearty oap.

lation to the details Of that instrument, It
was TO be expected that much difference
Of opinion would exist; but on the subject
Of its leading general features public sensi-
ment is less divided. Asa whole it prob
ably reflects public sentiment as fully As
any other document Of the kind which
could be framed.
Our population is in every way adequate
to the support Of State government, and
by the time we can get into the Union,
even if we adopt the contribution now, will
exceed that of any other new State ever
admitted. Indeed, we believe this 10 be

sce were dragged to that trial BY . writ Of
attachment and were obliged 10 submit to
q reprimand from the Court, Gen. Dodge
appeared as VOLUNTARY witness.

And zoe know, and you knosr. and every

licity 10 this statement you utter delib.
crate and bare-faced falsehood. The re-
cords Of the court convict you Of lying. be-
cause they show that instead Of being q
volunter witness subpoena was issued
and served upon Gen. Dodge, as upon a
large number Of other persons. This can
be attested by Sheriff .fKenney, who
served the process.
We repeat what we said last week,
I"Gen. D. was dragged to the Hight trial
against his Wishes" Knowing nothing Of
the circumstances, he, as well - several
others similarly situated, applied to The
counsel of the defence to be excused from
attending; but their request was not only
not granted, but they were assured that il
they did not obey the summons they would
be forced down BY an attachment. Gen.
D. was too good a citizen to attempt to set
the laws al defiance, and obeyed the pro-
cess by attending the trial. The statement
now shamelessly put forth, that Gen.
Dodge appeared as "a voLusrAaY W.T.
NESS" exhibits degree Of rccklessness
and desperation as amazing as il is repre-
hensible. When truth is thus set at
naught by protested votaries Of religion,
may moi the fact be construed by the Vi.
ciously disposed into q general license to
deal in falsehood, where they can bette,
accomplish their ends BY SO doing? With
