CURTIS BATES.

Although it is not our province to run up the
party flag, We may be permitted, inasmuch as
the guher material Office is one Of very great
importance. to the people, to say word in ref
erence to the gentleman whose name heads
this article, and who is now before the people
as the democratic candidate for Governor OF
this state.
We have Known Mr.. Bates for many years,
and can bear testimony TO the purity OF his
private life, the amiabilIty of his dis osition and
the integrity Of his purposes To fair abilities,
he unites much experience both IN professional
and public life, aud but few, ii any, understand
more thoroughly the principles OF our instltu-
tons or the general policy of the State As
politician, he is of the old jackson line OF DEM
ocrats, radical in his views and firm IN his ad-
herence 10 every conviction. Grave IN manner,
aud about fifty years of age, he will "look the
Governor pretty nearly as well as the next
man. Such are our recollectIons and Impr S.
ions of the anecedcnts, qualiiles, and character
of Curtis Rates. We give them tor what they
may be worth. and with The view Of conveying
To those W no do not know him. some knowl-
edge of the man who is now before them as a
candidate for the highest honor in the gift Of the
people. We shall take similar liberty with
his opponent when his name shall be announc-
ed. As a journalist our object is to edo he fan

Thus discourse,h upon our recent momina-
tons.
A portion Of the nominees, are tried men
and are known To the citizens of the State of
both parties, and doubt so long as they have
been connected with the State government, have
discharged the responsibilities of their respec-
tive Offices with salts action and abIlity-are
very likely better qualified to fill those Offices
than any others of the party, which is the only
reason, we suppose, that they re nominated
to those Offices. Curtis Bates Esq, Mr.. Sharp,
and Eads, are new men, but belong TO the old
school Of politics, none of the Young America
hood, coursng in their veins, but are sold
hards," out and out. Curtis Bates has been
known as the editor nt the Star for many years,
and is good, honest old gentleman, and ifelec
ted chief magistrate Of this State, will fill the
chair with good grace, and his honors will hang
loosely around him with becoming dignity
Mr., Eads is qualified for the office of superin-
tendent of public instruction, fully as much so,
il not better by scholastic training, than Mr.
Benton. Whether our common school system
will be any more prosperous under his supervis-
ion is problem that we will leave the school
law to solve. Mr.. Sharp our old friend, we be-
lieve is fully worthy the position which his
democratic brotherhood have recommended him
SO we may sit it down as fixed fact hat the
campaign mas properly began, SO Tar as The dem
ocracy are concerned. 1t now devolves upon
the wings, in order that may have spirited
canvass, to make arrangements Tor the calling of
State convention as to give our friends a
fair race for the prizes in August We will
promise them the very best fight we can make
in the nominations to be made so soon as the
party doom it practicable to call convention
for that purpose but we ask fair, downright,
straight forward open handed canvass such as
will be honorable to either party in case Of de-
feat; such as will keep good feelings between
individuals and the press Of both parties though
pol tically opposed Let pickering jealousies,
cease, discard all party machinery, clap trap
documents, and run the race before us manly,
nobly, and IN a manner worthy the age we live
in, and the two great parties We represent.

SPEECH OF GEN. CASS.

Ia the Senate January lth the venerable
Statesman and levered patrot Lewis 'ses, of
Michigan, delivered his anAiass'y sought for
speech upon the Clayto~-snd Buwer Treaty. =
II was what might be expected from the leading
man in the Senate--anable, dignihed, ndepen-
lations existing between this country and Grea,
Britain, as stipulated in the Treaty of 1880 -
In this speech it is shown very clearly that the
British Government has usurped all the authority
they exercise in Central America aud that,
although this authority was relinquished in the
treaty of Washington of July 9Th 1850, yet by
the unfortunate subsequent admissions OF the then
Secretary Of Slate, Mr.. Clayton, withou. the
knowledge of the Senate, these Accomplishments
have been Withdrawn and all the authority ever
exercised and still more, is set up by the British
Government. Gen. Cass reads the British
Ministers and the American Secretary a severe
aud sautary essen-one which they may read
with profit TO themselves, and TO both countries
If they will but be guided by It's wholesome
teachings. The speech contains facts in his
tory and diplomacy which are important I"
know and which had Mr.. Clayton been aware
of when Secretary of State, he might have ap
piled with credit to himself and with great bene-
tit to the country.
Notwithstanding the unfortunate construction
given to the treaty by the then Secretary OF
State, Mr.. Clayton, Gen. Cass goes in decidedly
for adhering to the treaty as passed upon by the
Senate, no matter what the consequences may
be, and not as construed by the Secretary.
This is high ground and right ground and we
trust will be sustained by the voice of the coun-
try

REMARKS OF JUDGE GREENE.

On Thursday morning, January 18th, 1854,
before declaring the present term of court ad-
journed, his Hon. Judge GREENE remarked:
Brother KINNEY: As you are now about l.,
retire from the Supreme Bench OF our State,
permit HE To express To YOU my cordial concur
renee in the sentiments expressed bv the reso-
lutons of the Bar They are highly compli-
nientary, appropriate and truthful. And still
when memory recurs 10 the seven years of our
mutual and responsible labor, of our intimate
and friendly association, OF the many and in
tricate questions of law we have together adju-
dicated, Of your mild, dignified aud courteous
department, and of the zeal, industry and abil-
ny which you have manifested in the discharge
Of every duty, feel tina, even these do no; ad
equately express your many moral. social and
forensic virtues
Wisdom, i.npartaity and honesty inds-
pensible attributes to the horrors OF the bench
Deem il not hattery when ! say that you enjoy
these virtues in an eminent degree, anc that
you have faithfully exercised them in your eff
forts to improve and elevate the judicial stand

erative in the performance of official dutrs that
/ feel no one has had better opportunites TO
know your high sense of moral responsibility
your reverence for the Christian religion, your
be ne VIOLENT and affec,ionate disposition, than
Judge Williams anG myself and hence no man
can more sincerely commend your worth, oil
more deeply deplore Your departure from our

Take with you, my brother, the heartfelt
wishes and fervect prayer of devoted friend

GEN. DODGE AND THEpIoNEER.

GEN. DODGE AND THE PIONEER.
correspondent Of the Council Bluffs Bugle
speaks in high praise of Senator Dodge, for his
prompt action in the Serate in behalf of Ne
braska He says:
6 In this, as in all his Legislative acts, he has
shown lis strong attachment to the interests of
his constituents, as well rs the nation at large;
leaving no room TO doubt his public spirit and
devotion to the hardy pioneers, who make and
settle new States by their indomtabe enterprise
and perseverance, whilst the rich and opulent
are ba skiing in all the uxuries ola old and
thickly settled country, and trea ing them with
scorn and dersion. The hardy, nantes ST
destiny men, opep, frank, and generous, to a
fault, scalping an Indian, or dividing his last
mouthtu Of bread, or table spoonful Gf salt
with his friend, is rendered strong by a life Of
peril and danger, both in body and mind His
life makes hun keenly sensitive to wrong.
and no man will longer remember a favor;
hence he never stops to think Of danger or toll
when friend requires his aid or services -
Here, then, is the secret Of the strong attach
ment existing between Gen. Dodge and his
constituents. Reared from boyhood in the
West, serving with his father in the Winneba
go and Black Hawk wars, then settling in the
new State OF Wisconsin when it was Indian
country, he knows full well the pioneers hard
ships and dangers, and is fully identified with
them in feeling. Hence the boy who helped
pole keelboat up the Mississippi river at Il
years OF age, who got his education in the camp
and by miners and smelter's fire after his
hard days work was over, now occupies high
seat in that august body, the U. S Senate.
placed and retained there by the good will TO

constituency, whom he found opposed his lea
