The Campaign I'm iowa.

| IL is conGdentislly supposed Gen. Augustus Ce
sar Dodge viii 6Hd in the official returns in DC
tOber next. The phrase employed ia the pro-
slavery secret circular is strengthening the out
postss.wlt is generally believed in Iowa that af
ter the outposts have been satisfactorily strength
ened there, the weaknesses in Minnesota will re-
ceive attention. We apprehend, however, that
the Republicans Of the Hawkeye State will NEE,
the ssrengthepers the moment they commence
tinkerng the Outposts, with that sort OF artillery
which is apt to have an effect on persons thus
employed; and we judge from the progress OF
the campa 'gn that no Importation short OF doub.
ling the population of the State will meet the
stampede crested everywhere by the insane
demonstrations Of the Spanish Ambassador.
We learn IRON citizens of the State aud from
travellers who have encountered the last of the
Dodges in his campaign, that General Cesar in
bis debates with Mr.. kirkwoOd, invariably gets
mad, raves and storms around the platform like
q lunatic, loans at the mouth, pounds his war
like breast, threatens TO whip his competitor,
declares his readiness to meet him anywhere and
in any kind OF combat aud otherwise acts out
bis nature. We learn, TOO, that the Democratic
State Committee met at Des Moines on the 9Th
inst to deliberate on the proprie,y Of withdraw
ing him from the stump, or at least from any
further meeting with Mr.. Kirkw0od, at once
Ii they DO SO the outposts viii need less strength

prevent Dodge from telling the people as he did
.l.AL
ed bill to organize the Territory OF Nebraska
in December, 1853, uitko.t having the slightest
knowledge Of its provisions We have no doubt
be told the truth. And if elected Governor OF
Iowa we have no doubt he would go through
bis official term without having the tantest idea
of the doings of the Legislature, and without
knowing enough even to veto the seventy tive
or eigety little niggers against whom the Iowa
Democracy have SO long waged en- extermina-
ting var. The cplored juveniles routed Mr..
SAmueis, horse. foot and Dragons, two years
ago, but Dodge-General Augustus Caesar
Dodge,-nothing daunted, is after them again
with Castiian fury in his eyes.
But one thing Dodge does know. He knows
that if summoned by a U. S. Marshal to jump
out Of bed ard follow the scent of negro ne
would almost jump out OF his akin to obey the
mandate He said 60 few days ago in reply
to question from Mr.. Kirkwood. The idea was
covered up by certain hgh-sounding phrases
decriptive OF acute anxiety about the Constitu-
tion of the United States, aud the perpetuitykoi
she Union. but that is what it meant. Indeed, this
seems to he Dodge's proper function rather than
the Governorship OF State. While he admits
that, as member of the Senate, he knew moth
ing Of the bie he introduced, it is clear that he
would exhibit the best of wind and bottom in q

The Republicans OF Iowa are pushing their
opponents to the wall, and charging upon the
Squatter Sovereign Slave trading cohorts with
commme nanle elan.
Augustus Cesar Dodge finds his Brusus In his
Republican opponent, Mr.. Krkwood. Atesery
meeting for joint discussion, 'the gentleman
from Spain" gets worsted, and what is worse,
loses his temper.
For instance, he said the other dag, at Oska-
loosa that '.if Mr.. Kirk wood said that he or any
of the Democrtic party was in favor Of the slaye
trade, he sras a liar, and if be repeated it he
would cram the lie Goscn has throat. MIR. K. per-
iecily calm and good nAIured, waited until the
Gen. had relieved his choler somewhat, when he
that If General D. spoke fguratively in
regard to examining words Down his throat il
was all right, but il he attempted it practically
it would be quite . different thing. Gen. Dodge
declared that he was 'sssady to glue his antago-
mist sdtisfdction."
