Mr.. Editor: Permit me to say to
the people of Howard Co. that it seems
morally wrong for those who respect
female virtue and female character to
vote for DR.. Cowan. Perhaps the peo-
pie of the County are not fully apprised
of his wicked attempt to buy the virtue
and ruin the character Of a poor Nor
wegian servant-girl employed in his
family last winter; yet they should.
Will you brand the base act as it de-
serves, and let the people vote under
standing his true moral character!
Respectfully &C.,
A friend of private NOR
s. ..E ais and public virtue.

NEW OREGON IOWA, OCTOBER 4 1861.

and Of this Dist. at Riceville; are max.
ing the objects Of the war, instead of a
support, a violation of the Constitution,
in short, it is the platform of radical
abolitionism, and deserves universal
disapprobation.
He says:
"Public sentiment is fast reaching the con-
clusion, that amid the thunder of cannon and
the roar of artillery, our political atmosphere
is to be purified from the foul miasma OF
slavery. The grand principles of the Decla.
ration of independence are to be practically
illustrated. The hideous barbarism of sla.
very which has so long disgraced the country
and retarded its progress, is to be overthrown.
And this it is that lifts the contest into re-
gions far above the plain of se!fshness and
makes it worthy of the admiration and SYM
pathy of the civilized world and of higher in.
tellgences.
1t is noble and patriotic to fight for personal
freedom and for ones own native land But
tofght for the great principles of human ib-
erty for equal rights and universal emanci-
patton, this is fighting for humanity aud for
God, and is sublime- .'.... .
P. S. Since the above was in type,
we learn that Judge Mason declines be-.
ing candidate. We do sincerely hope
the Central Committee of the Union
Convention may promptly fill it's ticket
with loyal Union men. Kirkwood is
without doubta radical abolitionist, and
so also is Mr.. Needham, and to neither
of them, under any circumstances, can
we ever cast ballot while they ente~-
tain the sentiments they now do.

WHO, LIES?

" AACg AiLS.
One year ago in the Plain
Dealer we made a charge against
DR.: Cowan that he had pledged
the county printing for 1861. to
Mr.. Belfoy at legal rates, and in
the same article offered to do the
work for $ 25. Dr.. Cowan feel
ing the damning influence of Our
charge felt constrained to make
the following affidavit, which was
published in the Republican of
Nov. 9th, 1860: ...".
Estate ofIowa, : ...l r.'
Howard Co. IS n
A. NJ. Cowan, beng duly sworn,
deposeth and saith, that made con-
tract with F. Belfoy for the county
printing before he went on to,purchase
his press; that I have never received
any of the proceeds of the office; that
90 not expect to receive any OF the pro-
cecds of the Office at any future time.
Further, that 1 have no. let the tax
list for the year 1861, to Mr.. Belfoy or
any other man. Further, that james
Carpenter presented to me S $50
warrant drawn in favor of f. Belfoy,
and paid some taxes with it, and l gave
him warrant order for the balance
A. NJ. Cowan.
Subscribed and sworn to, before me,
this 5th day of November, A. D. 1860.
.' Darius Seely, County Judge.
Since then there was a law
passed by tile Legislature requir
ing that the tax sale be let to the
lowest bidder, but instead of con-
sulting us at all, even after our
bid which we never recalled,
and which we were at all times
ready to perform, the Treasurer
and Recorder in violation Of law
and false to the tenor of his affida-
Wit gave the printing out to Bel
foy thus aiding him to draw again
from the county Treasurer over
$500 for what he could have had
for $50. We now hurl the charge
of falshood into the teeth of, DR..
Cowan, and defy him to evade the
truth of the charge! We leave
the charge of perju.y with the
people who we do not doubt will
fix brand on his brow as black
as the mark Of Cain. .am.r

~ Rumors are put in circu-
lation by those anxious to defeat
the Union movement in this
County, that the union candidate
for Treasurer and Recorder is not
qualified for the position to which
he is nominated. 10 all such ru-
mors, come from where they may,
we would only say they are un-
true. Three years ago his quail
fcations and character were
vouched for to us in the most un-
equivocal manner by Hon. d. S.
Dickinson Of N. Y, who had
long been personally acquainted
with him at Binghamton N. Y.
We know of ourself that no bet
ter penmaa or business man is to
be found in this County. He for
several years held the position of
book-keeper in the Dry Goods and
Grocery House of Stryker & New.
New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1861-10-04

Let 1t be remembered that in Win
neshiek Co. with population of 13.943
the Treasurer and Recorder employs a
portion Of the time, and at S $50 per
day but one Deputy; while DR.. Cowan
in this County with population of 316S
employs two Deputies, giving one-a
brother-in-law S 2,25 per day. Du-
ring the two years which he has held
the Office, he has recorded less than
fifty deeds-being only two days labor
Tor good scribe in two years. Why
this incidence, taxpayers, but to feed
and fatten his family friends at your
expense
New Oregon plaindealer. (New Oregon, Iowa) 1859-1866, 1861-10-04

Two years ago, DR.. Cowan, when a
candidate before the nominating Con.
vention for the office he now holds,
pledged himself solemnly to it's dele
gates that if elected, +. II. Jewctt
should not be his Deputy, and on the
strength of this pledge, faithfully given
yet dishonorably violated was he nom
mated. .........
DR.. Cowan was elected, ndimmediate-
ly took Mr.. Jewett into the ofice-but
not as Deputy! And yet he seems to
have used the name of DR.. Cowan in ma
king tax receipts, and in recording in
struments!!! But gentle reader, look
at the manner in which he attempted to
evade his solemn pledge. He took Mr..
Jewett into the office in q position to re-
cord all manner of instruments, give
tax receipts and receive money thereon
without any sufficient warrant to pro-
tect the person paying taxes, and with
out any official bond being cxactcd or
given. Thus he was not Deputy, and
had no more authority to receive mon
ey for taxes than total stranger in the
country. A chapter in this business
is as follows: gentleman from MINI.
called to pay large amount of taxes,
(nearly S 2o0) DR.. Cowan being absent,
and Mr.. Patterson also; Mr.. Jewett be-
ing alone in the Office, made the receipts
and signed them "A. M. Cowan Treas
urer' &C.; the taxpayer enquired-
"Are you Mr.. Cowan?"
"No; but it's all right"
swell, then, said he, sign the receipts
as Deputy, as you ought
20, it's all right-.Dr. Cowan rati.
fies what do," m
Stranger excited, and tears up the
receipts exclaiming-
"Ratifes HE'LL. am ready to pay
my taxes when / can have valid re-
ceipt," and with this, left the money
with gentleman in town to pay the
taxes when DR.. Cowan could be caught
at the office. .. a s.,...ra a..n
After this transaction, which trans
pired only short time since, Mr..
Jewett was appointed Deputy and
his bond legally filed. And this was
brought abou: by the demand of the
MINI. gentleman, to see his authority to
handle the Co. Records or to receive
the money for taxes. fva
Now taxpayers, if you are ready
for such trickery and deception to be
practlced upon you longer then vote
for A. NJ. Cowan; if not: be sure and
vote for A. M-Van Leuven for Treas
urer and Recorder, and thus aid your
self and your friends in obtaining SO
curity against such corrupt and dis
honest practices. aaa fD

Since Gen Bakers proclamation ma
lignant cases Of Gen, Prices complaint
have appeared in our city. They battle
the skill of our most accomplished ply
sicians. There has been great demand
for green spectacles: Hostetter's Bit
ters, Peabody's Eye Opener, ect. There
are also few cases of old lameness re-
yived; some VINO were thought to be
nearly 40 years old are suddenly 46;
young men of twenty are not quite Is;
some are about to engage rooms in the
Argyle House until the drafting is over
and the number of able bodied men has
wonderfully decreased and the sudden
discontinuance Of hair and whisker dye
has, within the last three days, been
observation-disclosures Herald.
The same alarming symptoms
have made their appearance here
and in almost every instance
among men who cried 'traitor"
to us because we thought peace
and not war was the the true con
dition of our nation. Since it has
been ascertained that there is to
be no drafting they are becoming
slight-u-ally convalescent. For
ourselves we hope drafting may
be resorted to, for in no other
way can the true patriot be ascer-
tanned. It's very easy to say to
boys ego and fight for your coun-
try" but to respond to peremp-
tory call Of the country is quite
a different matter, and calls for a
different kind Of patriotism.

On the western horizon more brilliant by far
Than all the bright orbs Of this vast constella-

Look, freemen, and see the magnificent star
That beams like gem on the brow Of the Ma

In the morning, at and at night it still pours
Its soft mellow light o'er the land and the sea,
While the down .tredden-children Of far dis
tant shores
Are gazing with hope on that star Of the free.
IT'S the Lone Star of Texas-ths same that arose
On the field Of Jaeinto, that terrible day,
When the GODDESS Of Liberty frowned on her foes
Like the stag which is hunted when standing at
bay.
Though traitors may scheme, and devise their
base plans
To blot from the record our national name,
Yet they never can reach with their impious
hands,
To sully that star or dishonor its fame.
When the sun Of the Union has sank to its resi-,
And left US to wander In anarchy's night.
Then freemen may gaze on that star in the West,
And liberty bask in its radient light.
