MT. Iovve and the Censtltmtton.


Mr.. Lows. ~ understand, declares
himself % b IN favdt Of the boundaries oi
he oonsitution, ~ 4gaiaa ~ eoa,tihdios
isse!t This, too. i the ground assumed
BY the resolutions Of the meeting at which
be was nominated. Should be Be elsctsd,
then, to carry out his principles and the
principles Of bic party he would have no
other course left him but to oppose our ad-
mission into the Union, even after the pub
lie voice had been clearly expressed in a.
vor Of such STEP. This is on tho hypoth-
esis that the constitution now be1ore the
people win be ratified in August, and win
come before Congress st its next session.
A pretty plight, truly, would we b in. in
such case.


But the Hawkcye tells us that the con-
stitution will be rejected, and therefore Mr..
Lowe runs no risk Of being placed in an
embarrassing position in reference to that
subject. This is virtual admission Of the
fact, that the adoption Of the constitution
would embarrass his action, should he be
elected. And how could it be otherwise?


lie is known 10 be the deadly enemy Of the
constitution, and at the April election
voted against its adoption, not because Of


The alterations made in the boundary by
Congress, but because of his dislike Of the
provisions of the instrument itself, as pre-
viously asowed. With such feelings, how
could he be expected to assist in bringing
the Territory into the Union? AS to the
probability-nay, the certainty-of the
adoption Of the constitution, we differ with
our neighbor. We look upon that ques-
ton as already settled. The change in Des
Moines county alone will be nearly enough
to carry it.


Gen. Dodge is both the friend of State
government and the constitution. He is
favorable to the boundaries of the conven-
ton, and if elected, as he did before, will
oppose all changes which may be attempted
TO be made. He has influence at Wash
ington-is in the confidence Of the admin
istration, and belongs to the party whicA
will be dominant in both houses of the next
Congress. Itmust be apparent, therefore,
that he would be more likely 10 succeed in
carrying out the wishes Of the friends ol
admission than his competitor, and he will
doubtless receive the votes Of oil such.
