Dodge had taken position with his brigade on my right, so as to prevent any attempt the enemy might perfection, and are entitled to the respect and thanks of their countrymen. To Brigade Adjt. J. C.

Dodge's brigade filed off upon a road leading to the east from the Elkhorn hotel, and opened its batight, and anxiously waited the coming light. The Commander-in-Chief was hopeful but fearful. Col.

Dodge, who felled trees on the road which run parallel to the main road to which I have before referred. This proved of great advantage, as it retarded the enemy somne, dressing on their colors, in perfect order. Supposing with my reinforcements I could easily recover our lost ground, I ordered the regiment to face about. Col. Dodge came up, explaining the want of cartridges, but informed of my purpose, I ordered a bayonet charge, and they moved again with steady nerves to their former posiand Asboth, Col. and acting Brig.-Gen.

, drawn by A. H. Bullock, of Worcester, abstained from approval and disapproval, though approving Fillmore's Administration; and their address, from the same hand, while delicately commenting on the Compromise, sought to pacify the public mind with the claim that the North had on the whole gained the substance. The Free Soilers and Democrats united on senators in all the counties with no difficulty, except in Middlesex, where the union was opposed by Samuel Hoar, Dana, Burlingame, and J. C. Dodge; and in the towns such unions were almost universal. For Congress the Free Soilers supported Mann, the rejected Whig, and Fowler, insuring the election of both. The canvass was very spirited. The Free Soilers issued a campaign paper, The Free Soiler, edited by F. W. Bird, John B. Alley, and Horace E. Smith, which was widely distributed among the voters. They held meetings in all parts of the State, not neglecting the smallest and remotest towns. They sent out not only their eminent s

See remarks made by each, May 4, 1854, upon petitions asking for a scientific investigation of spiritual manifestations. Seward wrote, a considerable time,—sufficient, as he supposed, for the debate to have closed. He reached his seat, however, just as the call of the roll began; and rising, again went behind the Vice-President's chair.

The ballot resulted in the election of a committee consisting (contrary to parliamentary usage) wholly of Sumner's political opponents; to wit, Pearce of Maryland, Allen of Rhode Island, Dodge of Wisconsin, Geyer of Missouri, and Cass of Michigan,—their votes ranging from thirty-three to eighteen. The composition of the committee was said to have been inspired by Weller, Douglas, and Mason. J. S. Pike in the New York Tribune, May 26; First Blows of the Civil War, p. 340. Seward, the mover, received only thirteen, and no other Republican received more than four. Cass accepted, though refusing to be chairman, and intimating at first his wish not to serve at all.
