nius. He u, hare no doubt, an honorable ana
just man when not swayed BY passion aud net
biased BY prejudice. He is man OF strong
passions. OF deep rooted bitter, almost unresens'
ing. prejudices. He is man OF few ideas asa
politician, not Statesman. de does not take
broad and comprehensive view Of principles OF
measures, and lacks in his public speeches that
charity and digni6ed coarteousness towards .
political r;eal that 90 we'll becomes patriotic
statesman. The writer has no doubt OF his true
patriotism, nor OF his integrity in places of pub.
lie trust, nor Of his true social worth in private
life, but Mr.. Dodge is not excusable foroths
bitter, aippsnt, undignified reference to Sen
stor, who il bis equal 10 all virtues, whose pa.
triotism and whose fidelity to public duties is
above suspicion, and whose talent is q match, il
not over match for Gen. Dodge in any position
1t seemed unfortunate for Mr.. Dodge even q
think OF Senator Crimes. The people could moi
help thinking that if Mr.. Grimes had not run fol
Governor, and bad not been elected, and had
not been candidate for Senator, and had ao'
been elected, Mr.. Dodge would have been en'
tirely more comfortable. If 1 we're physician
| would as friend advise Mr.. Dodge for the
sake of his health and digestion not to speak o.
Mr.. Grimes, and much less thirk Of him. Gen.
rodge should remember that Ne is not the ern.
bodyment Of all the virtue, talent ana honesty
in the Union. The Republican party. sir, have
men more than your'equalsl Seven years age
In this county you called the wing party "the
treacherous Wing party" 1.-THE ,atrocious Wing
party" andto day You called them "the glo-
sious old Wbigs." 1t took you seven years to
conquer yous prejudices and to do justice,
simple justice, to the glorious Wing party, and
4 have strong hopes that in seven years more
you will have the magnsnimisy to DO justice to
Grimes and the Republican party, and in that
same Park will honestly speak Of the glorious,
union loving, Republican party. It il due to
Mr.. Dodge to say that he was gentemanly and
courte ous In his Operfiug speech towards Mr..
