them excellent remedy, when given in small doses for

Within few days past some twenty
FIVE or thirty thousand men have been or
dered from the Northwest to the east of
the mountains. Nothing but the most
pressing necessity could have prompted
this movement ON the part Of the Govern
ment 1t is evident that the military au-
thorities do not regard the force about
Washington and on the Potomac as sufi-
ciently large to secure the safety of the
Capital and carry out other desirable MIL
itary operations. Hence it is that badly
as troops are needed in the West, the still
greater necessity of the East must be, and
ought TO be, first supplied.
But the fact, if not startling one, is
certainly an important one, suggestive OF
serious reflections. The Northwest has
raised large force and sent ii to the field
and Will soon have its full quota Of five
hundred thousand on the way. Could
that entire force be used in the West
Gen. Fremont would be enabled in few
months to sweep the valley Of the Missis-
sippi and pant the Victorious flag Of the
Republic over New Orleans But so long
as the forces TIRE required elsewhere, he
must maintain difficult contest Of varied
successes and defeats, harrassing aud ex-
hausting to both parties, and verging more
and more towards the cruel and bloody
practices of savage warfare
More men are needed in the East, and
more men are needed in the West. We
OF the West could aud would furnish our
full proportion Of five hundred thousand
men, and We have already measures in full
operation to do it, but the East has not
done 50, and will not do it. New Eng.
land and Pennsylvania have comparatively
few men III the field. Pennsylvania, es.
pecially, Is shamefully behind She ha,
no stomach for the fight. Her men ran
away from Manassas, and her faint hearted

1t would seem, therefore, that fairness

Whatever may be said of the peculiar
political views entertained by ID. \ Ma
hony, the editor Of the Dubuque Herald
it must be conceded, we think, that he
has proven himself very successful gem
eral of the Democratic forces. The pro-
ceedings Of the late Democratic conyen-
ton, indicate that the manner and mat
ter Of his call, meets the approval Of the
majority of the members of the Democratic
party in this State No matter therefore
how much people may think his endorse
ment is the result of packed caucusses.
both conventions have pursued the line Of
policy he marked out, and for this out

honey must have the credit North Iowa

Exactly, and this same General Mahony,
whose bidding the centre party Of the State
obeys and "keep step to the music of his
reasonable strains, has fallen under the
censures of the government at ST. Louis

nice leader, to be sure, for the Democracy
Of Iowa. How will it sound In history

that the circulation of your leading paper

The State Register at les MONIES learns
that the MON Committee and the Maho
ny Committee had Joint mectingethe
other day at'.that place, for the purpose OF
reorganizing and combining the two tick
cts. The bonds Of union and sympathy
between the wire-working rotten politi-
clans of the two organizations are love OF
spoils and hatred of kirkwood, and it was
thought that these motives and influences
would be strong enough to hold them to-
gether, either for the war and country, or
against both as chance might determine.
The joint committee finally concluded
to withdraw Mason and place, Merritt or
Lincoln Clark on the ticket in his stead
for Governor, Dewey for Lieut. Governor,
and Elwood for Judge, with distinct I'M
Outstanding that the ticket was to stand
on the Mahony peace platform with three
legs and on the Union war platform with
the other three legs But for purposes of
ease and convenience and to take advan-
tage Of circumstances, the candidates
and the combination fusion party, in con-
sideration of the many sore headed,
"weak backed" and g broken Skinned, =
and otherwise infrm and crippled politi-
clans, are not required to stand square on
the platforms, but may shift from one set
Of legs to the other at will.
In order to carry the programme into
effect messengers were sent out to various
parts of the State to consult the magnates
JY Hull and Capt. Griffith went to Burl-
ington to see Mason, and d. T. Finch to
Cedar Rapids to see Col. Merritt, while
Bausman of the Commonwealth came down
here to see j Tracy, District Attorney.
Bausman we learn has heard from Bur
lington that the Commissioners to Mason
are not meeting with much encourage
ment, and he finds Tracy in rather bad
humor, and upon the whole he seems to be
very much down in the mouth. Still
things may take favorable turn, and il
SO our readers shall be duly advised.
Itstrkes us thatthere has been entirely
too much billing and cooling between the
cliques of Union and Mahony leaders at the
Capital, too much filling and backing IN
regard to platforms and tickets, and too
much manipulation BY Enthusiastically and
broken down politicians. Both tickets
are disorganized, and both parties are de-
moralized by the selfshness and corrup-
tion Of their leaders, and the people are
disguised with both and have no confidence
in either. And therefore the people who
desired union from patriotic motives, and
for the purpose Of carrying on the war
more effectively have very generally con
Guided for the present, TO vote for Kirk
wood, Needham and Lowe, all of whom
are known to be earnest and enthusiastic
Union men and war candidates, standing
upon no party platform, but simply pledg-
cd to the support Of the war and the
maintenance Of the Constitution and the
Union.
