(YouT Galsna organ) who acted for you,
6saigned 10 mislead the Ealena people, aud
thaa accomplish your sel6sh purpose -
The journals and the debates Of the Senate
shoiw tAat Gen. Dodge and heartily CO.
operate with you and your colleague in
every effort and sYaFy vote that was given
on that question. Fer many considerations
We could not but be deeply interested in
the passage Of the bill.
At the celebration Of the completion Of
~ II A.
hsid at this Piaeetn July, 1855, yea cotapii-
meated ne In exalted terms in your speech
on that occasion as the person who procu-
red the amendment, making Dubuqus the
terminus OF the roai, and although you
knew that hundreds Of your own cons'itu-
ents were there present, you did not iEtima4s
yoaF wishes. You were thea addressing
an Iowa audience whom you wished to pro-
pitiate.
Again, sir, when you last visited Du-
oaqus (2Sth August, 1887, } you had an in
.gEvisw With J. b. DoTr, the editor Of the
EzPysss AHsTsld Of this city, who had ever
since you introduced the Kansas aud Ne
araska bill in the Seaats, been your bitter
9Pponeat, and the opponent Of that measure.
Ine hsxt morning an editorial article ap-
peaTsa In that paper, Of which the follow
ng is an extract:
"Bat Illinois is not the enIy State which
las been benefited By the policy and by the
abors Of Stephen A, Douglas. All the
" estern States are indebted to him for the
prosperity which Is observable !
y ilAin their bosders. We believe howev- /
r that our own State, Iowa. stands next /.
o Illinois in her obligations 20 Mr. Doug (!
as. To him more than to any other Lying /
uaR ID owing the magnificent railroad avs /
EN- planned out for heT-the system which !
s destined to make her one OF the veal |
hiest and most important States Of the |
Vest. Even our own good city Of Dubuque |
ives, in great measure, her present in
,Ortanee to the lAhors Of Mr. Douglas
NE knows that the extension Of the North
Western branch OF the Illinois Csntral to
be opposite bank of the Mississippi has
realty addEd 70 Der prosperity, and the
aud graHt roads running frpn her 10 the
lteTior will still add more towards max
ag Der the commercial metropolis OF the
rgiona north and Wes' Of ChcSgo."
Two numbers Of the paper containing
be aSoys aXtraGt were sent to you The next
sy, oRs to 9aleAa, and The other 10 Chi
ago, with the expectation that you would
ave the honesty to spun the Offer Ihas
