STATE CONTENTION.

10 the appropriate place in this weeks
REGISTER, win be found the esll for Repub-
Eican State Convention to be held N this
city on Wednesday, the 3ist proximo. The
Offices to be filed are the most important IN
The State, and there has been 10 time since
Iowa was admitted into the Onion when they
needed, and the interests Of the people de-
manded good incumbenss as are needed and
demanded now. We are aware that many
good men 10 the Democratic ranks are anx-
ioas that party Distinctions should De ooiit-
Grated, and that the Republicans should
abandon their or organization. The Republic
can members of the General Assembly, at
the late Extra Session did indeed so far ig-
more for the time being, parsizan dissine-
lions as to choose Democrats as well as Re-
prblicans for officers of either branch; but
If no admou.;iou we're necessary to induce
the Republicans OF Iowa to adhere religious
ly to their faith and keep their ranks un-
broken, i. would be furnished in the action
Of Democratic members Of the Legislature.
There were honorable exceptions in both
Houses--men who seemed willing to forget
the politics Of thu National Executive, and
their own former party opposition, and re-
member only the great fact that the Liber-
ties of the People were endangered by
PTo-slavery insursenss-but the Journal of
both Houses show that if the support OF
ABRAHAM LIScoLS's Administration should
BIZ any. calamity be committed to the keep
ing Of the Democratic representatives as a
mass in this State, i. would meet in the
time of its necessities with very much such
responses to its calls for aid as were sent by
the State Administration Of Missouri. DEM
ocratic officers and Dem ocratic privates are
in the ranks of the Iowa Volunteers, ready
to hazard life, if necessary, in defense of
the Government; but while all this is so, IL 9
leading organs of that party show veno-
nous hatred of the National Administration
which seemingly makes them crave for its
downfall, even though the Federal Charter
of the Peoples Liberties should be dragged
down along with it.
No!no Republicans of Iowa! This is
no time for furlins the Republican banner
The President elected in part by your votes
never so much needed faithful as we'll as
Jealous FRIENDS as he needs them now
The State Administration to be elected in
October can greatly aid in Strengthening or
paralyzing the Federal arm. The Legisla-
ture to be chosen at the same time will be
charged with the duty of apportioping the
State into Congressional! Districts. Wheth-
err the Representatives from those Districts
shall be friends or enemies Of the presen:
Administration will mainly be determined
by the majority which will control the mex.
General Assembly. It's for you, Republi-
cans, to determine how that majority shall
be constituted, and whether your Presiden,
shall be turned over to the uncertain mag
nanimity of partisan foes in the hour Of the
Nations peril.-Des Moines Register.

VOTE IN VIRGINIA.

By private letter from reliable source,
we have the following result of the vote in
Western Virginia upon the adoption Of the
secession ordinance: .....
In the Pan Handle, composed of the coun.
ties of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio and Mar
shall, the vote for the ordinance was 43I
for, to 6,397 against it. The following
counties, outside of the Pan Handle, which
were represented in the Wheeling, conyen-
ton gave Union majorities as follows:
Marion, LES; Wood, 1908; Lewis, 800;
Preston, 200; Tyler, $50; Harrison, 1000;
Wetzel, Clio; Monongahela, 1900; Berkeley,
800; Kanawha, ZOO; Cable, $50; Wayne,
500; Putnam, 500; Taylor, 700; Hanover,
1000; Richie, $40; Jackson, 400; Writ, 800;
Peasants, l5S; Doddridge, $50; Barbour,
$50; making an aggregate majority Of over
twenty-five thousand in favor Of the Union,
in two Congressional Districts.
The 4th Of June, inst, was the day ap.
pointed for the re-assembling of the conven-
ton at Wheeling. Arrangements had been
made to have delegates in attendance from
all parts Of the State, and it is expected that
the convention will declare the conduct Of
the authorities at Richmond, a usurpation
Of power, and the actors rebels against the
Government. Instead of dividing the State,
the policy will be proposed Of forming a pro-
visional government for the whole State, and
an election will be appointed for Governor
and State officers.
The result in Alexandria gives fairidea
of the extent to which the popular voice was
suppressed in the eastern part Of the State:
in that district, where the usual vote is over
1000, there were only $50 votes cast, so Of
which were for the Union; thus showing that
it there bad been fair expression, the Or
dnancs would have been defeated in the
State by large majority. In consideration
Of this fact, the Union convention has de.
termined to pursue the course indicated
above.
As far as We are able to ascertain, there
will be four districts represented IN the COM
ing extra session Of Congress, viz: Mr.. Har.
ris, from the Ninth District; Mr.. Brown,
from the tenth; Mr.. Carlisle, from the elev.
snih. and Mr.. Psndleton, from Boetier's dis.
sries. In the last named district the seces.
sionisss took no notice Of the election; Mr..
Pend'sson, running as an independent Tn.
ION candidate, received q very respectable
vete, and will,of course, be admitted to a
seat.

eminent much higher and more lnnuen-
tial position in our foreign relations tnan
ever it has attained heretofore.
While the young Republic Of Rome was
vet embarrassed with its domestic feuds,
factions and conspiraciss, il presented no
very formidable front to the surrounding
nations: but on emerging from her demes-
tic diseords Rome began her grand march
70 the MASTERY Of the world. So. in modern
times, England was power comparatively
weak in the eounsels of the continent until
her domestic discords and civil wars OF
thousand years were superseded ey ina,
consultations Of the kingdoms essaoiisneu
under William of Orange. 50 Win the
United States Of America at the present Gay.
While their General Government ana ioyai
people are engaged in the great work OF
restoring and consolidating their Union ~
home, they are laying broad and deep FOUND
atoms of foreign policy calculated 10 place
this country in the rank with the Leading
European Powers touching the great COM
mon interests Of the civilized world. Such
are the indications from Mr.. Stewards
acceptance Of the code of the Congress OF
Paris in reference to privateerlng, and from
his reported Instructions TO our new Minis
tiers to England and France, in which, We
understand, while these Powers are frankly
admonished Of the sure suppression OF this
Southern instruction, they are also warned
of the consequences of any foolish interven-
ton in our domestic affairs.
The movement of the United States forces
across the Potomac into Virginia carries
this war into Africa. 1t marks the begin
ting of a glorious and successful campaign,
and the end will most assuredly be the
restoration and publication of the Union at
home, and the exaltation Of our Govern
ment abroad to its appropriate position of a
commanding voice among the great Powers
Of the earth. Oar Union was never so
strong as it is to-day. Like the ancient
Republic of Rome, it will rise from its do
nestle troubles to its manifest destiny Of
grandeur, glory and power.

An ENGLISH VIEW OF TINE SOUTHERN
SECESSION.

SECESSION.
The London Nens, at the close Of an able
article on American affairs, thus intelligent
~ and graphically portrays the manner in
which the Southern rebellion has been thus
far conducted
But, say some people here, Why should
not the Southern States secede? And,
seeding, why not take their share OF the
national property? Where lie their crime?
The crime is as fragrant as any treason
ever was since society was organized; but
Justice requires US to be careful IN imputing
the treason only to those who are guilty.
No States hare seeded no communities
no masses Of population; but only gang
of reroluiionisis assuming TO represent a
community to ,chonr they dare not appeal
If il had been really an affair of States, or
communities, or masses of people, they
would have made their complaint in good
time; they would have declared their inten-
ton; they would have appealed to Congress
or to Convention, and to the Federal
Courts to restore to them their
concessions of rights, and to apportion the
national property. If the Constitution did
not provide for secession it did provide
guardianship for the national property
That guardianship has been betrayed; the
property has not only been seized, as in the
case of forts and arsenals recently taken,
bat embezzled, gradually on the largest
scale, and for a considerable length of time.
1t is now intimated that the refusal of the
United States Government to join the Eu-
ropean Powers, five years since, in extin-
gushing privateering was grounded on plans
of secession already entertained. 1t is very
natural that those who are unaware Of the
barbarism induced in a slaveholding society
by a long course Of rude and cruel wars,
like those in Mexico and in Florida and Of
filibustering expeditions like those of Lopez
and Walker, should seek for excuses for the
Confederacy and believe, in spite of evi.
dence that there must be some ground of
right in the aggressive party. But the more
the case is examined, the more clearly it
will be seen that the Secessionists are wholly
and absolutely in the wrong; that they are
guilty Of treason, carried on by conspiracy
of the basest sort, and for aims which are
incompatible with the peace of the world.
