The Democratic regency Of Burlington are
perfectly copfouuded 1t the success of Mr.
Busch a. public speaker. They had 50 per-
sistently reported the story that be could not
speak English that they had actually come to
believe it themselves When, therefore, they
heard him at Grimes Hall, make logical,
argumentative and most sptly illustrated speech
in the English language they were deeply cha
grined and alarmed. They discover that there
10 no man in their party in Oes Aoiues County.
Who is match for him Is speaker in the Eng
lish language, even. They found that he speaks
our language with slight German accent, 1t is
true, but with more grammatical correctness and
with wider range Of language than any Demo.
Graf who has spoken in this oity during this
canvass.
Our only regret 10 that Mr.. Rusch cannot DO
heard in every county in Iowa, for We feel
assured that be would strengthen our cause
wherever he could speak.
We say 70 our friends who do not know, or
may not meet NJ. Rusch, that there 10 no
more thoroughly educased msn on either ticket
than be 10, and no one more competent TO Q
prompt, faithful and satisfactory discharge Of
the duties Of the Office for which be is . candi

publican vote in the State, and our word for it,
hs will make model ol8cer. Let him re-

GEN. DoDGE NOT AN OFFIcR-SEEKER.-Whiie
speaking at Sigourney the other day the Briga-
der informed bis hearers that he never had
been an ofice.seeker! Their little favors had,
as Shskespear says, been thrust upon him. In
illustrating this matter the Sigourney Life in the
West remarks:
Gen Dodge declared that he had never sought
an Office. That declaration may do in some
places, but amongst the old settlers Of Keokuk
county it was heard with sneer. They could
remember the session of the General Assembly
Of Iowa for the year lS46-47, when Nr. Mar
shall, of Lee county, attempted to bribe Nelson
King, the Representative from this county, to
vote for Gen. Dodge for the United States
Senate; and how the Mr.. Marshall aforesaid es-
capped the penitentiary by testifying that the
money paid to King was the money of Gen.
Dodge, and that be, Marshall was the agent
Of Gen. Dodge in the transaction. Could some
of the old gentlemen present have had the
Generals ear . moment alter making that
declaration they would have put q glow on his
cheek such as Spanish wine never made. They
| remember, too, the hard battles they fought
against General Dodge, in his attempts to force
on them an odious Constitution. They remem-
Der the acs5 Of Congress cutting down the
boundaries OF the State, and the circulars OF
Gen. Dodge informing them that they never
could get another foot Of land outside Of the
boundaries prescribed BY Congress. They re-
membered some Of the monstrous provisions Of
| the Constitution, which, through the infu-
ence OF Dodge. they we're compelled to kill
twice before it would stay killed.
Gen Dodge told the audience that the people
had made him, and that he had made the for
tunes Of thirty men. It was remsked that the
General was very fair example Of public works
generally-a very worthless job, which had en-
.riched the contractors without beneftting the
peOple. tsN fte

a. General Dodge, although forced to take
. second position and compelled to disappoint
the high expectation which had been raised by
his foolish friends, still might have come out Of
this contest unsullied. He could, if not able
to impress his greatness a. an orator and states
man upon the people, at least have acted the
gentleman. But no. He drew on the lion skin
at Oskaloosa and has since that time instead Of
invective used personal abuse-instead Of cour-
teous and gentlemanly conduct. in discussion
used vile SANDER and low epithet. He has be-
fouled himself by retailing the vile stories taught
him by Clay Dean, Claggett and Will Tomlin-
son. He has dsgraced himself by repeating
the monstrous untruths Of Elwood, Babbitt and
Baker. And be has not only played this dis
graceful role over the State in the sight Of
every body, but he has been every where ex-
posed. He stands forth fnlly convicted Of pro-
pagating falsehoods for political and personal
ends, day after day, and At every repetition
clearly exposed, and the knowledge that be was
wilfully and Intentionally lying, brought home
to his hearers, by Mr.. Kirkwood. He stands in
the position which no gentleman would stand
in, Of having engaged in retailing other men's
vile personal abuse, of 80 low . character that
the authors themselves are ashamed to propa-
gate them or SO notorious that nobody willbelieve
them when they do. This is the kind Of can
vass Gen. Dodge has made. This 10 the model
eandldate-this 10 the high-toned chivalrous,
Castilian gentleman-a retailer Of second hand
falsehoods.
