Testing great uncasincss under the pressure Of
the wholesome and wide spread Republican senti-
mcnt now developing itself in Iowa. The doom
of the slave parry is rapidly being written on
the wall by the steady hand of Kepubcanism and
the managers OF that odious party tremble while
they witness the formation OF the blazing charac-
tiers expressive OF that doom. fcvcrish en-
element seems TO have possessed itself OF every
administration paper in the State and column
after column OF vile trash is emitted tor tn, pur-
pose OF prejudicing the pubic mind against the
great Republican movement which will be fairly

prevent the ultimate trun PHI Of the Republican
movement: for it has secure Judgment in the
