his disposal. His confidential friends

sustain him in his purpose of building
up Dodge dynasty in Iowa, that is
TO rule the State and control all the
offices. What was j. that operated to
exclude other worthy men from all

influence. What was the only sure
passport TO the confidence Of Mr. Polk,

Pennsy lvana, tina, has acquired the
dignity of a..rroverb: There is no tell

election The election coming on in
August, decides something more than
who IS to be Delegate TO Congress, up
on the result of it depends more than
some Of the Democratic leaders are

al Cesar does not display his whole
policy aud management at once. He
has secured The efficient and un,rlng
services of those of his adheren,s whom
he has appointed TO Office, and relies
confidently on Their making every ex-

tempting and desirable office of Gov.

This is the policy of Caesar to pro-

Should he be defeated by Mr. Lowe, i,
is his intention to retire upon tbs office

is no telling who Is governor until af-
ter the election" We have no doubt
the people are willing he should 60 to
making lead in Wisconsin-they do
not want him for Governor. and they
are determined he shall no longer be
Delegate to Congress.
