A NORTHERN PLEA FOR THE RIGHT OF SECESSION;
by George w. Bassett, Ottawa, Ill" Our thanks
TO the unknown friend who sent us q copy of the
above named work. We had selected portions of
it for publication this week, but find we shall not
have room. We are not certain but it would be
best to extract it bodily. for in these days when
the North 20 universally ignores the Sovereignty
of the States, and brands as traitors all who pro-
test against the assumption of Federal DespOtism,
ID is perhaps well to give as extensive currency as
possible to the words of those who boldly and log
ically maintain the unpopular doctrine of the right
of State Secession.
Such a work was much needed, and We thank
the writer for his contribution to the cause of
Truth and Justice.

for the Marshalship now held by Rynders, and
with a fair prospect Of success. Not being well

whether the bully would be much improvement

Col. Ellsworth 1 esa mated.

CT" Our community, on Saturday,
had its feelings deeply stirred by the an
nouncement that the gallant Colonel of
the New York Fire Zouaves had fallen
the first victim in the advance Southwark
from Washington-shot while in the act
of pulling down the flag of treason, by a
covered foe. The brave commander did
not live to utter word. But his gaping
wounds were more potent for vengeance
than any cry tnat could have been utter
ed by mortal lips. His loss is great, but
ten thousand soldiers will rise up to fill
his place. Woe to the men who
meet his noble corps in hostile array.
Their noble commander will be glorious
ly avenged.

companies according to convenience of
locality. The men are to be uniformed
and furnished with the most effective
arms that can be procured Each mount
ed man is to furnish his own horse, with

cents per day is to be allowed.
All persons enrolled under this act
will be required to take an oath to obey
all lawful orders of superior officers, to
maintain the Constitution and laws Of the
United States and of the State Of Iowa,
and to render their services to the Uni
ted States if demanded by proper author
ity, and with the consent of the Govern
or, and it is made the duty Of the Gov
ernor to fill all acquisitions made by the
United States on the State from the In
fantry provided for i'll the bill, and If the
number of regiments or companies pro-
vided for in the bill is from any cause
reduced, the Governor is authorized 10
