Have the People of Ie. Isapemsed.

In the spring Of '54 Senator Dodge voted in the
Senate of the United States in favor Of the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise. As the result, Slavery
was admitted into all the Territory of the United
States, and the Kansas outrages backened the pages
of our history. The people of Iowa SIT in Judgment
upon that and that vote at the autumn cleo
ton of that same year and rendered their verdict
condemning the measure and dismissing Senator
Dodge from service Senator from Iowa.
The President of the United States, however, took
him up when the people of his State cond emned
him, and rewarded him for misrepresenting the SEN
timents of Iowa, with a mission 70 Spain. General
Dodge returns with his pocket full Of rocks, and
asks the people to their verdict to acknowl
edge their guilt and ingratitud,, and endorse his
course. Are the people Of Iowa prepared now to
approve what they condemned; d. they repent their
opposition to Slavery extension, and they willing
publicly to humble themselves in the dnst and ele
vate Dodge to the Chief Magist, acy Of the statee
| Either the people were wrong and Dodge was right
else Dodge wrong and the people right. Dodge
asks the people condemn themselves and to acquit
him, and endorse and approve his course. Are the
people Of Iowa prepared to rego their selfrespect
and forfeit their reputation before the world by
surrender oftheir convictions an absolute re
ver.al their deliberate judgment? Are they ready
yield to the high sounding title and the immense
wealth of an ex-Minister of Spain what they would
not grant to Senator OF Iowas Are they ready tc
say by their votes, General Augustus Cesar Dodge
ex-Mnster to Spain, who voted for the repeal Of tn,
Missouri Compromise and the extension of slavery
is the trne exponent of the sentiments of the people
of1owa." Will they take up this confession: "w.
have done evil In the sight Of the Savehslders and
before the Administration in the election Of Grim
and Harlan, and we confess our sin, and the frs
fruits Of our repentance elect General Dodge tt
the Chief Magistracy Of the State, and promise t.
restore Jones and the old regime their
seats"
Such will be the import of ballot cast for Dodge
and such would be the reading of his election to tn,
