FAMILY NEwsPAPER. rU -G.r
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
tanning the incoming Administration of Mr. Lin
coin, but disclaiming, however, any pretensiou
to be the organ Of the President elect. t
There is no other Republican paper In the
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity Of II, and
1t is believed that recent events have opened to
such paper an important sphere Of useful eff
fort. The time has come, when the actual ad-
ministration Of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the misrepresentation
which have made those principles SO distasteful
to the South.
But it is not only here, and In this vicinity,
that the projectors Of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pressure Of local interest.

Mason Withdraws.

Judge MASON, the nominee of the MAHoNY
wing of the Democracy of the State, has pub.
lished the following note:
BURLINGTON Sept. 20, 1891
DEAR SIR circumstances have induced
me to withdraw my name as a candidate for
Governor. now notify you of the fact, that
you may act accordingly.
Yours truly, CHAS. MASON.
G.. NJ. ToDD, Esq, Chm Cen. Com.
The Herald is quite severe upon MASON
for allowing himself to be run off the course
by pressure which "should have had no
other effect upon him than to treat with in.
dignation and contempt
Now there is but one candidate for Gov
ernor before the people of Iowa at the present
time,-SAMuEL j. KlRKwooD, and if the peo-
pie of the State know what is for their in.
terest, they will elect him by sweeping ma
jority. We do not ask his election at the
hands of the voters of this State, simply be-
cause he is Republican, but because he has
proven himself thorough going Union man
one whose works have proven the sincerity
of his professions. Ever since the war broke
out he has been untiring in his efforts to put
Iowa upon war footing, and in the face of
difficulties such as the executive of no other
State has had to encounter, has succeeded in
bringing Iowa up to the full measure of her
duty. To do this he has pledged his private
fortune, which act alone should be convincing
proof of his sincerity and devotion. Certainly
no other man could surpass him in devotion
to the cause, or in efficiency in the discharge
of the difficult duties devolving upon his
office. hen let us run no risks, but re-elect
him; this is no time for experiments. We
have the right man in the right place, and
let us keep him there; a new man might
possibly discharge the duties of the Office in
an unexceptionable manner, though the
chances are that he would not come up to the
standard required. Gov. KIRwooD has the
advantage of experience and thorough
knowledge of the resources of the State by
which to shape his course; new man would
be without either TO not re-elect Governor
KIRKwooD would be like discharging an old
and tried pilot, who is acquainted with all
the intricacies of trcachcrous channel thro
which we are obliged to steer and taking in
his place new man unacquainted with any
thing but clear sailing in an open sea, where
breakers and tcmpests are not known.

Drafting.
The following is copy Of circular issued

The following is copy Of a circular issued
from the Adjutant Generals office:
ADJuTANr GENERALS OFFICE,
....... OF the State Of Iowa. (
DAVENPORT, Sept. 10, 1861.
To Members Of Boards Of Supervisors Of Counties. md
others: ... ....
The State Of Iowa is furnishing her full quota of troops
but calls made for more, and they SHALL BE FUKN-
IsHED!
To meet promptly the demand of the General Govern
ment, and Of General Fremont, the military necessity
exists of making draft from the able bodied Of this
State, between the ages of IS and IS.
therefore request that members Of Boards Of Superv
will report to the and residence of such
ableboded men within the ages above named, as are
subject to be drafted And also ask Of any persons well
known to this Department, to report the names Of ind
viduals liable to military duty.
N. b. BAKER, Adjt Gen. of Iowa.
This may be all correct, but it seems
little strange to us that Iowa, which has
furnished more men, in proportion to her
population, than many of the Eastern States.
should be the first in which drafting is to be
resorted to. The people of Iowa arc ready
and willing to furnish even more than her
full quota of fighting men, and will do it
without being drafted from.

The Battle Of Blue Mills Landing.

From the Missouri Democrat we give our
readers an account of the battle of Blue Mills
Landing, in which the Iowa Third played the
most conspicuous part. ltappears that Lieut..
Col. ScoTT plunged our troops into hopeless
contest in defiance of orders which, had they
been obeyed, would probably have resulted
in the complete rout or capture of the enemy.
We believe that had Col. WILLIAMS been al
lowed to remain in command instead of be-
ing sent off to st. Louis to answer unfounded
and trumped-up charges, we would not be
compelled to chronicle the severe loss which
our gallant regiment sustained in hopeless
contest against six times their own number.
Lieut.. Col. ScoTT may be brave, but if that
virtue be not tempered with discretion and
judgment, to say nothing about experience,
he might better be tainted with cowardice.-
That the Third fought with gallantry and de-
termination, none who read the account of
the battle will deny. But exhausted by long
marches, deserted by the gunners and left
without artillery, and obliged to fight the en-
envy on ground Of his own choosing. and that
at the fearful odds of 600 to 4 800, they were
obliged to withdraw from the unequal strug-
gle and await the reinforcements which they
should have had before they went ilto the
battle. -"
Our own company, X, and conn., .any l, both

the Bank and Tariff battles, as those of later
date, and the former would b, just as appro-
pirate to the times as the latter We want
the people united, acting in harmonious uni
son, instead of wrangling and divided over
issues entirely foreign to the occasion. The
Peoples Union Ticket, was not put in the
field to be subscrvient to the interest of any
particular locality or set of men. The ticket
is for the county, the whole county, and the
Union. The candidates are not old political
hacks with friends to reward and enemies to
punish. In confiding the interests of the
county to their keeping we may rest assured
that our trust will not be betrayed.
In conclusion we annex an extract from an
article in the N. Y. Tribune. Commenting
upon the Peoples Union movement in that
State that paper says:
"The masses are convinced that the old
party issues have no pertinence, the old par
ty watchwords no charm, in view of the ter
rible ordeal to which the Republic is now
subjected. What matters it that citizen
was last year Republican or a Democrat I?
Who cares whether he supported Douglas or
Breckenridge, Lincoln or Bell? The only
important practical question is does he now
stand unqualifiedly by the Union against
armed and menacing rebellion? Does he in
sist that the Government shall beupheld, and
the rebellion put down? Is he in favor of
expanding the last dollar, the last cartridge
in defending the Union and the Constitution
If he is, nobody cares for whom he voted last
year, nor with what party he may act next
year, in case there should be room for par
ties. It he goes heart and soul for putting
down the rebellion and unfolding the just
authority of the Government, he is sound on
the only question it which the people feel
any decided interest. If he be honest, capa-
bic, and thoroughly, heartily, in favor of sus-
tanning the Government in its struggle with
foul rebellion, he will do; otherwise not"
