TIME Summer Of 1857 was one which ndelbly stamp
l. ed its impress upon the history OF Iowa. In the
future, when the antiquarian shall unro the
dusty ecroll which records the dongs Of the present
age in State the incidents of the past will
beetle forth with prominence Of interest to his view
contrasting the chronology of even whole centuries OF
her subsequent history into utter insigncance and
neglect. Events less startling in their character
than those which witnessed the recent successful
tempts Of sister commonwealth upon the Pacific to
disgoc the noxious and corrupting elements OF her
seizing the sovereignty Of the entire state, and
pending the execution Of its laws events not less
potent aad decisive than tho which attended the
vu i've throes of the French people during tho last de-
csde OF the 18th century relieve themselves Of the
sitting incubus Of an inpotent and dccnyed though
tyranical dynasty-material for the htOran OF Gaul
