traitors must Internationally submit to
the Constitution aud Laws.
g. Resolved That the Administration
has done nothing more, In attempting to
suppress the rebellion, than its imperative
duty.
4 Resolred, That we endorse the ac-
ton of the late extra session of the Gener-
eral Assembly in providing means for the
defense Of the State and the aid of the
General Government.
5. Reso1red, That the highest honor is
due to the First Regiment of Iowa Volun-
teers for their gallant and heroic conduct,
MS evinced on the battle fields of Missouri
6. Resolped, That the loyal spirit evinc-
ed by the naturalized citizens of our coun-
try in this her greatest hour of peril com.
mends the admiration of all true patriots.
Z. Resolred, We invite men of all par
ties to join with us in the support of the
foregoing resolutions, and in support of
the candidate of this Convention who
stands pledged to the constitutional main
tenance Of our Government
The resolutions were unanimously a
dopted.
The proceedings were ordered to be
published in all the Republican papers of
the District.
Mr.. Wilson being loudly called for,
came forward. announced his acceptance
of the. nomination, thanked the Conyen-
ton for the honor, and briefly defined his
position on the issues of the day. The
only compromise he had to propose with
traitors was the cannon, the sword and the
bayonet.
When the Convention adjourned, with
three cheers for the nominee.

Yesterday afternoon horseman ran
over lady on the corner of 3D. and Main
streets, knocked her down, and injured
her quite seriously.
We have noticed great deal of fast
and reckless riding through the streets to
the serious annoyance and peril of chill
dren and ladies, and somewhat to our own
discomfort. And-we were informed by a
couple of ladies, who were riding out in a
buggy on Grand Avenue, the other day,
that nearly hundred horsemen came
dashing up the Avenue, raising such
clouds of dust as rendered it impossible to
see, and placed them and other persons
on the road in the utmost peril of their
lives.
1t would certainly be better for our
cavalry to restrain the exuberance Of their
spirits and reserve their gallant charges
till they get into an enemys country. 1t
is improper, disorderly and dangerous to
ride through the streets at the rate they
have been accustomed to, and we trust
there will be no further cause of complaint
on that score.

nations, and to the morale of humanity
Let us add, that there will be something
profoundly sorrowful in this triumph of
the South in this victory of slavery over
liberty, which in the same way that the
emancipation of the United States has
been the signal for the grand European
emancipation may, in its turn, be the sig
nal for the destruction of liberal ideas.
Or else the North, vanquished at Ma
nassas, no longer fighting for a theory,
supremacy, and an idea, but pro ar,s ct
tocss, since it is menaced with INVASION
the North we say, will find itself forced
to have recourse to extreme means. As
the letters announce, it will carry the war
into the territory Of the enemy-it will
proclaim the emancipation Of the slaves.
1t will invite Uncle Tom and his millions
of companions in misfortune, to the bene-
fits Of liberty. In such a case we will wit
ness the most frightful of civil wars
Blood will flow everywhere in waves. La
Dor will be suspended, and with it COM
merce in the greater portion of America
the most terrible executions will take
place, and the insolent fortunes Of the
South will crumble, as did formerly that
of San Domingo, in ruin and in blood
Already with these sad forebodings our
merchants have suspended their shipments
we know Mat the same is true of Eng
land and at Hamburg. This is not all
Europe has coolly habituated herself to
making America nourish her in bad sea
sons. Industriously speaking, she really
lives upon certain American productions
who then can foretel the effects of the
struggle, thus pushed to extremes, upon
the very existence of our Europe
Alas, long before the war--at least a
year previous to tive mentioned the
facts which we now repeat. We Informed
Europe of the position in which it would
find itself. We cojured the powers to in
tervene in their own interests, as we'll as
that of humanity and morals. Nothing
was then easier than TO place itself be-
tween the parties who were not then bel
ligerents it was also its duty. Why did
ii not listen TO u.s.
We SAID then that England looked on,
without taking part, at drama which
might ruin America But France, what
interests had she not in the preservation
intact of the Uuited States In the first
place she had split her blood for their for
nation, and she could pride herself in good
right upon being one Of their creators

Thomas Paine, in one of his patriotic
articles entitled "The Crisis," published
during the Revolutionary war, said: "He
that Is not supporter Of the Government
Of these States, is in the American sense
of the word, Tory and the instant that
he endeavors to bring his toryism into
practice, he becomes A TRAITOR. The
first can only be detected by general tests,
but the law hath already provided for the
latter"
That was the Revolutionary understand
Ing and exposition Of loyalty and patriot
ism and their opposites, and it holds good
to-day The definition of traitor is to
be found IN our laws, and the open rebels
OF the South have incurred its penalties
The sympathizers and peace men of the
North occupy to-day precisely the position
81 the Tories of the Revolution and such
will be the verdict Of history against them

Mr. Rotteck, editor of the German pa
per in this city, finds fault with the GATE
for failing to notice the arrival of the Ger
man volunteers of Keokuk and Fort
Madison, who were in the Burlington
company of the First regiment at Will
sons Creek.
Our omission to notice the fact of their
arrival in special way is accounted for
on the same principle that our citizens
failed to make any demonstration on the
occasion. The time of their coming was
not specially heralded because it was not
known, and when they did come, it was in
the silence of the night or towards Sun
day morning. We issued no paper after
their arrival till Tuesday morning, by
which time it became an old story and
escaped our mind.
If Mr.. Rotteck was anxious to have
their arrival noticed, why did he not call
upon us and give us the information,
knowing, as he very well does, that we Do
not speak German. The fling at the
American citizens of Keokuk is entirely
uncallsd for, as Mr. Rotteck knows that
there were two companies of American
citizens of Keokuk who did their very
utmost to get into the lst regiment.
We have neither been slack nor sparing
of our commsndatisns of the brave and
true hearted Gen Sigel, nor Of the tried
valor of our German citizen soldiery, and
we are as proud of the heroic achieve
ments Of the gallant German volunteers
of Keokuk as We are of those of the Amer
ican-born under Huston and McKenny.
