Mr. DopGn in PosITIoN.--The remarks Of
this distinguished son of Iowa on the Wilmot
Proviso and in opposition to Hale and Seward
doctrines Of Abolition or Disunion are both for
chile and appropriate. They are also patriotic
and consistent.
When Mr.. Dodge voted for the separation OF
the California question from the others with
which it was necessarily connected, we then
felt for his periious situation. Weshave since
then watched his next step with anxiety but al
ways with hope, and the noblehearted man has
not disappointed our highest anticipations. His
remarks made in Senate on tho 25th ult., breathe
the manly tone of Iowa Democracy.
We do not know that we can give his remarks
this week. If we should not, oIr readers will
understand his position from word or two TAX.
en- at random from his speech.
In abiding to the doctrines of Hale and Sew
ard Mr.. Dodge said, 81 not only have no sympa-
thy with these unAedged doctrines Of the Sena-
tors alluded to, but intend to fight them here
and every where else, as long as have voice
or a vote" What can be more explicit than
that? Take another sentence. s'The time, in
my humble judgment, has come, when the Rep
resentatives and people from the free States, il
they wish to preserve the Union of the States,
must take stand, bold and determined stand,
against the fell spirit of Abalitionism." And
yet another in which he seems to rejoice in the
noble conduct Of the patriotic State which he 80
ably represents "Sir the Democracy Of Iowa

In the same speech Mr.. Dodge pledges him
self to vote for the compromise bill, and by tina,
pledge relieves us of much anxiety as to how
his final vote on the question would be cast.

A day or two ago, when under the influence Of
our fears and of the anxiety predicated thereon
we suggested the propriety of holding mass
meetings of the people as they have been held
elsewhere, to give expression to the popular will
on this vital and deeply rooted question. We
said then, that our silence may be wrongly con.
strued, and that the influence of great men may
be more potent than silent expression of senti

The withdrawal of the French Ministry pro-
duced a sensible effect on the Funds, but they
have recovered, and the belief was generally en-
tertained that the movement on the part of
France, was mere ruse of the Ministry, to
enable them to carry the new Electoral Law.
Circulation has been given to an insulting
note from Russia, addressed to Lord Palmerston,
condemning in strong terms the policy of the
English Government in relation to the Greek
Question. The conclusion is as follows: AS the
manner in which Lord Palmerston undertook
the protection due to England's subjects in for
eign countries carries with it such serious incon-
venience, Russia and Austria will not hence
forth grant liberty o. residence to English
subjects, except on condition of their renoun-
cling the protection eff their own Government.
Under date of Paris, the London Times, in al
fusion to the difficulty with England, says that
Lord Palmerston's offer Of compromise has been
rejected by the French Government, and that
the Cabinet Council and the President of the
Republic declare that the acceptance of any
the Convention of London, was inadmissible

The Compromise.

| All the st. Louis papers with the exceptio,
we believe, of the Union, have come out boldly
in favor of the 'compromise' bill of Mr.. Clay's
committee - Nor do they stop with a simpl,
commendatory notice of the bill; they do NOR.
they urge the propriety of holding mass meet
ings throughout the country, for the purpose o.
expressing and manifesting the popular feeling
upon this all absorbing and vital question.

of this plan. We have no reason to fear tina

will be faithless to their constituents, or recre
ant to the sacred political trust reposed in them
| but we cannot conceal from ourselves the fac
we cannot, if we would, stifle the admonition
which past events cast upon our judgment, tina

influence which is more potent for evil than ou
silenc would be for good
We say then, that the people should speak
and if they are really in earnest about the settle
ment of this vexed question of slavery on the
proposed basis, let them so declare.
Our Senators and Representatives will be thus
placed in a position beyond the control or infu.
ence of extraneoUs circumstances, and they will
not dare to violate the known popular will We
much regret that something has not been said
upon this subject at our recent conventions here
at home, as we perceive that one Of Col. Ben.
tons satellites in Lee CO. succeeded in having
complimentary resolution adopted in that coun-
ty approving of the course of Col. B. during the
present session Of Congress.
Worse than this, the delegates from Lee CO.
to the State Convention, have been instructed to
carry the same sentiments into the State Con.
vention for endorsement by that body.
What an insult, what gross libel upon the
Democracy of Iowa. They hold no such senti-
ments, and Mr.. Espy, the 'Wilmot' of Iowa,
should be made to know it again, as he has al
ready been taught, that matter how great may
be the erring leader, the democracy of Iowa fol-

Louis was the theatre of riot Of the most fash
ionable modern style. Several brothels were
demolished, and the inmates turned out, almost
nude, into the streets. Two Of these dens ofin-
iquity sported the euphonious names of "Loaf
ers Paradise and "Robbers Roost' They
were known to be the resort of thieves, and the
most depraved prostitutes.
After the rioters had proceeded for some time
without interruption, the police at last interfered
and prevented further outrage. St. Louis bids
fair to compete with other large towns in dens
