proofs of Holy writ, were adduced to con-
vince him Of the falsity of the charge he has
been guilty of promulgating. We base the
triumph Of our cause on the intelligence
and honesty of the people, and therefore
have no fear Of such transparent and trump
ed-up trickery, as that under conside. alton,
detracting ought from the reputation of our
candidates, or in anyway affecting the tri-
umph of the principles of Right. If these
charges were trumped up for the purpose of
retaliation, the de,raier resort is unworthy
even the self.exalted candidate for Lieut..
GOVERNOR as low in moral and polt-
ical dcbasement, as he is wel-known to be
and we leave him to his wallowing.
Certificate of Character-Reciprocal Feeling.
The dictionary editor of the Bugle, dis
eoursed so piously, in the last number Of
his model sheet, on the wretched character
of Black Rcpublcanism, and predicted its
early doom with SO pompous flourish Of
rhetoric, that strangers to his name and

immaculate candidate for 1t. Governor of
Iowa, though laboring under delusion re-
speeding Republicanism, is still what his
language would seem to indicate, high
minded man, and fighting in the ranks of
Democracy for what he believes to be the
right. They would naturally regard him as
n patriot, using his time and talent for his
country's good, and just the man to preside
over the Senate of Iowa with an eye single
to the honorable discharge Of his Duties
But, unfortunately for him, he is too we'll

party than to ours, that, were we not well
acquainted with his excessive cifrontry We
should be a little surprised at the solemn
mockery of the stupid article in question:
We are extremely sorry that it is scarcely
in the power of language to convey an ade-
quatc idea' Of the leading Republican or
gaus of Iowa. We had supposed, that,
with the aid Of Wcbster's unabridged, and
Murray's grammar, this redoubtable cham
pion Of the pure oulcd democracy, could
combine the elements Of common English in
such a manner as TO d. Justice to any sub
