A. G. DODGE HEARD FROM.

| Augustus iBsat DOuBct u huciens pchio'
cratic fame, has been heard from. This light
and ornament of the Iowa faithful has
emerged from bis ob.curity to sound the
praises Of ysllandighsm and the 0hia Cop.
tperhesds He has written letter to the CSssis
which concludes thus:
IL greatly admire the noble Democracy Of
Ohio fol their stern devotion to principle,
and their memorable rebuke of the atrocious
crime committed upon the person and liberty
| of Clement l.. Nallaudighsm, the orator,
statesman and patriot. | wish the Democra'
| cy and yonrself unbounded success IN your
heroic struggle against the wretched fanatics,
who have brought death, desolatlon and rum
upon the people If this once happy nation.
| In the bonds Of Democracy, ] remain your
weil wisher and friend ?
| And this proof Of coustsncy on the part of
Augustus Cesar greatly affects the Dayton
Empire, Mr.. Vallandigham's home organ,
and II makes sweet response as follows:
"Such words from one who has occupied
the high positions of United States Senator
and Minister to foreign court, when It was
an honor to fill those positions, are quite
cheering; at least, we feel they are so, the
quaintance with Mr.. Dodge, and knowledge
of the dignity and integrity Of the man as a
Democrat, and his high toned, warm hearted
personal character, as q private citizen and
friend
The Iowa Democracy assume 10 repqdia'e
Vallandigham, but they cling TO Dodge. Let
i. be observed that Mr. Dodge here volunta>
rily asserts his entire sympathy and political
brotherhood with Clement L. Valsndighsm.

Tennessee, on the 9Th inst, in the s7th year
fhis age Unhappily BIASED in the matter
of slavery, he was else one Of the sblest,

attachment which time nor distance, nor the
Iseparation OF the Church North and South,
