erwise he would not have calculated such
a TRADE of abuse against his successful CON-
petitor, who has just taken his seat. Mr..
Dodge is also very enthusiastic person, in
fact his enthusiasm got the better of his
reason, for, three several times had Mr.. Dean
to direct his attention to the subject; this
was probably owing to the fact that he did
not have manuscript with him, like his
brother Dean. .
When speaking of the compromise, he
(Dodge) was willing to make for the Union
of the States, no concessions, he said, that
had been asked for were too great; for him
self he was willing to give up every thing for
the sake Of Union; they might scoff at him
and spit upon him-they might roll him in
the street yet still he would compromise for
the sake of Union. This we thought rather
over. Dodged Dodge. He then told us how
this question of secession had agitated his
mind, both day and night how he had roll
ed and pitched and tossed in his bed We
whispered to our friend that he must have
had the nightmare. IF we had time, we
would tell you something about his acting
how he beat his breast and stamped his feet,
threw back his hands and struck his coat,
shook his body and tossed his head, and in
fact how he went through the whole per
formance in exemplifying rather than por-
traying the state of the Union. The reso-
lutions passed, we forbear to speak Of; they
are disgrace to the name Democracy. We
left the meeting ezclaiming, "what sights
we've seen, what sounds we've heard

persons who are opposed to making the
very concessions to the South which he,

fusing to make 70, the past four years, are
disunionists perse, and that their desire is to
procure separation of the free and slave

AMERICAN SECESSION In GERMANY.

AMERICAN SECESSION IN GERMANY.--A
German correspondent says:
'The Secession of South Carolina is treat.
ed by the most german papers in terms not
very complimentary nor encouraging. In
fact, South Carolina might as well haye Sc
coded from the solar system, as far as all
active sympathy is concerned which she
can find in Europe. People are vexed at
the idea of a complication in cosmopolitics.
They had hoped America would keep quiet
till Europe was settled; but since we will
have our little tangle too, we may unite it
alone This is the attitude, think, of the
continental press and you know yourself
ere now how strongly the English papers
reprobate the folly of Secession"
