THE TREASURY PARTY.

Piatt x Co.'S Union Party may Justly
be called the Treasury Party. There
seems to have been but one object in its
formation-the control of the t,casury of
Cedar county. Why is it that II. c.
Piatt clings with such death grasp to
the keys? lie hnops and he is sharn
enough to know that if Samuel Wampler
IS defeated, the people Of Cedar county
will also know.
No one a. @4.ntcd with the man, is so
foolish as to tu.u- that Mr. Piatt, (appar

the Northern Iowa NJ. f. Conference, 1t
the late meeting in Marshalltovu, passed
the following resolution, with ether ex-
cellent ones: @ 5
RESOLVED, That We have the fullest con-
fidence 10 the patriotism, The bravery
and capacity of Maj. Gen. Fremont,
commander Of the western army Of the
Federal Government, and We ardsntly
hope that at the next session of Congress
law may be passed recognizing aud en-
bracing the principles set forth in his
recent proclamation.
The Methodists then, according to tho
Democrat, must be al Aboltionists.-
Truly, the "Abolitionists" are getting to
be very respectable class Of people, if
they never were before.

To the Voters Of Cedar County.

This is the last paper that We shall
issue before the election. You are to
decide who shall be your officers during
Che next two years. To enable you to
act uuderstandiugly we have referred to
the acts of some officials and cx official
We have not done it in malice, bu. be-
cause We believed it to be true, and that
you ought to know it. If you see fit to
elect men who have defraudcd you, then
We may say tina. "houesty is not the best
policy" for officers The charges that
We have made against Messrs Wamper,
Piast and others are TRUE, and your
Township Supervisors will bear us out
in them. Ask your Supervisors; EXAM
inc the county record, ask your neigh.
bors, aud you will be satisfied that we
have not even told all the truth. We
speak not as the editor of a political pa
per merely but as man who regards his .
character tor truth and vcracity as of the .
highest Importance. We have perform .
cd an unpleasant duty and have brought
upon US the curses of many evil men
You must now do your duty at the bal /
lot box, and with it We will be content.
We have not devoted any of our space
to the putting of our nominees, because
We believe that they are all honest, hon
orable, competent men and that you we'll |
know it to be So Our candidates are all
good men, good Union men, and there is
no good reason why they should not all
be elected by unusually large MAORI
ties. We believe they will be. Remem.
Der that large number of Republicans
have gone II the war and i will need
every vote t. make up for us loss.

An ABOLITIONIsT.
23S GS

The last Democrat says, 1--WE have
long since believed that S. 8. Daniels
was an abolitiopist at hcart, but he ney
or before had the courage to avow it. -
What proof does it give Of our being Gan
Abolitionist" just this, and nothing
more: we approved Of Gen. Fremo"ts
proclamation which declared all the
slaves Of those in arms against the gov
ernmeut free, and VIC disapproved of
President Lincoln's modification OF that
proclamation. That makes us "an aboli-
zionist, does it? Then what is the editor
of the Democrat The Democrat OF
Sept. 9th, in speaking Of Gen. Fremouts
proclamation, says: "This is step in
the right direction, and will bring the
Missouri rebels to their senses" The
editor Of the Democrat, according to his
own reasoning is Gan Aboiitionist. We
hope he will not commit suicide, and to
console him we would say, that many
Democrats are turning Abolitionists, now
a-days. The Chicago Post, Douglas De-
mocrat, of the 18th Sept, in speaking
of the Prcsi DENTS letter says:
We tear the effect Of Mis action. 1t
uiN do much to reOi0e secession IN Wisson-
ri. The men who are secretly urging on
the rebels in Missouri were terrified BY
Fremout's proclamation, The order Of
tine President will relieve them Of their
fears, and they will again resunc their
covert proceeding Even If Fremont
has gone little further than the Presi-
dent desired, it won'd have been better to
hare sustained him Backward steps
aever lead to good results.
Will the Democrat say that the Post
is an abolition paper? Some evil dispos-
ed person has insinuated that the editor
was drunk when he wrote the editorial
of the 9th or tho 26th. but We don't b.
lieve it. We think one man wrote one
and somebody else the other. ....

How much interest have you paid the

the county to take and give you credit
for. That is cool If you have marked

should look to the men whose taxes yon

you lawyer enough to know that such a
claim would be good for nothing as
against the county. in any court?
You say that you have no more to do
with the Treasures Office { since Mr..
W. took posscssion), or the regulation
of the business, or the management of it,
than any other business man in the
county. Is that true? Why is it then
that when Mr.. Wampler is called upon
to explain something that is not plain,
that he says: 81 don't know that's what
Mr. Patt told me to do; that's where he
told me to put it,? Why was it that
you presented bill, against the county,
to the County Judge, for work done in
the Treasures office, and when asked
by the Judge whether you did the work
because Mr.. Wampler had not the time,
or because he could not do it, and on
your saying that it was because he could
not do it, the Judge refused to allow
your bill, and told you that you must get
your pay Of Mr.. Wampler? That bill is
in existence yet, or was = short time ago,
marked " Not allowed"
The pc .e will be glad to know that
you haye . coed bond IN tile,' for from
present appearances it will have to be
sued upon before your accounts with the
county are settled.
Why is it, that while you have said
that Mr.. Wanpler was not fit for the
Office, that you are now SO anxious to
have him reelected? Is it not because
you fear that otherwise an honest nan
will be elected who will not cover up your

@- The No Party" folks have said
a great deal against getting up a party
contest at the present time, but We fn.a,
that, now it is too late for the Republi-
cans to get up meeting, that the "No
party" have called great meeting for
next Saturday. They advertise Col.
Merritt, J. p. Cook, Col. l. NJ. Preston,
aud others as to be present, but We have
the best Of reasons for believing that none
of them have promised to be here The
Republicans have respected the general
wish and have called no political meet

the lie to all their professions. If what

HOW THEY ARE KEPT.

One would suppose that the books
would be kept, in the county Treasures
office, SO that the Treasurer "or some
other person" could tell how the affairs
of the office stood. But it seems that
such is not the fact, Cor the Treasurer so
states in a report which we give. He
also owns to 1881 81 Of interest, which
he should have collected but didu't; but
as he "nor no other person can tell the
exact amount" it is fair to presume that
the committee are the nearest ri ht-
