J, vast Importance To Us that we have IN Con-
gress Delegate who, from his intimate
acquaintance with puplic men, and COM

our interests. These qualifications we are
4 certain Gen. Dodge possesses, and we
have the private assurance Of men high IN


official station, and in the confidence Of the


public, that In the last Congress he main


sained high rank, and exerted strong


influence. -

that the Democrats will have . large ma

strong the world overs

whose principles are identical with their


own, than by one entertaining cpposlts


opinions. 1t must hence be evident to


men Of both political parties, that DEM
M ocrat can effect much more for Us in the
next Congress than a Whig--especialy =
Democrat who is already prominent
man in his party. We believe these
considerations should, and will, operate
