iowa State War Loan.

The New York Herald in the money ar
ticle Of that paper Of June oath, takes de-
cided ground against capitalists having
anything to do with the loan Of 100000
authorized by recent net Of the General
Assembly Of this State. We cannot ex-
plain the position Of the New York Herald
nor state lis objections better than by pub
fishing its own words, which, after com
rpen.hng the loans asked by other States
for the same purpose, As good investment,
speaks thus Of The Iowa loan:
We nut. however, make an exception
10 the general lule IL the case Of the pro-
posed loan Of the State of iowa. That
State is now in the market for Il war loan.
In order to borrow, without violating the
State constitution, the State authorities are
Obliged to act on the fiction that the State
is in danger of Invasion, If the people Of
State Of Iowa established character for
honofo integrity, the public would per-
haps feel that the vice which thus taints
the new loan in its inception would never
be pleaded in bar OF its due payment
But we regret to say that the people Of the
ate Of Iowa have ean4d lrecisely III
character which warrants the belief that
they would, after they had got the money,
resort to this and every other available
trick to defiaud the parties who hal lent it..
There is hardly a town or populous county
in Iowa which is not at this moment eya-
ding or attempting to eyadeits most solemn
obligations Such towns as Dubuque,
Davenport, Burlington, Keokuk, Muscatine,
and such counties as Henry, Des Moines,
DC, which have been built up by the rail
roads interesting the State, are regulating
10 the most bare.aoed manner the bonds
they gave to help construct the roads, Gen
orally on the shameful plea that the towns
and counties had no legal right 10 give the
bonds winch were in effect the cause Of
their prosperity These repudiating tricks
receive the countenance Of the Iowa courts.
AS was the case a couple Of years ago in
Wisconsin, and for many yeus in Missis-
| sippi, court judges, politicians, and people
are all leagued together to cheat their cred
itofs. It is with regret than we feel it to
be our duty to protest against the negotia-
tons Of any Northern State in the present
crisis But the dishonesty ofthe towns and
counties in Iowa his been so uniform and
SO fragrant Of late that it would be mex
cusable to permit their war loan to pass
without remarking that it offers tempt
| ing opportunity for repudiation, and that
the people ofiowa have evidently no scru-
pies Of honor or honesty on the subject Of
repudiating their debts.
The \. Y. Herald is no less severe on
Wisconsin.

Mr. CovER Having some leisure time

since the good pcopIeof Potosi agreed that
/ they would nave banner, which was L

well, sir, they set TO work anl rot up a

made design, and the painter went to
work ana finished it according to the de-
sign, and behold here it is In the center
IN eagle with a scroll III his beak: flowing
down on each side above this tie words
"Our Union Forever on the right hand
Of the eagle the words "No Abolition; ?
on the lett No SECESSION; on the scroll,
"Constitution and equal rights al very
beautiful; but what do they mean by no
secession--Ro 0Joiitonl No secession |
suppose means denying the States the
right to seceae from orr Union. Now bv
no abolition they must certainly mean that
the slave States have no right to abolish
slavery; il, for instance, the people Of
Missouri, Delaware or MARYLAND should
want TO abolish slavery in their respective
States, (which the came very near doing
in Missouri some years ago. viii they tell
them you have no right to do this; will
they send armies there 70 prevent them
from doing this. If this Is not what they
mean | wish somebody under heaven
would inform nc and the public what they
can mean.
Since writing the above I was informed
they do not mean that they want Missouri
or other States to hold on to slavery for
ever, but abolish it whenever they please;
they only mean nointerference with slavery
from the North2 Now il this is what
they mean By no abolition, as a matter Of
course they must mean by no secession no
Interference with secessionists; this, per
haps, WIS their intention, but it is not what
they say they maan by no abolition.
Potosi sends forth her mandate to all
the States, no abolition, and might as
Web say to the whole world: take care
Queen Of Spain, don't abolish slavery in
Your dcminions and You naughty Car Of
all Russias take back your mandate Of
abolition Of slavery iu your dominions or
beware Of the vengeance Of Potosi.

pearapces that the union men Of the South
and the negroes--such as cannot be made
Fl zht against Us, may also be exterminated.
Afterwards, he would rejoice should wise
Providence 50 overrule our present diificEi-
ties as to wipe out the stain Of slavery. In
such case, the Elder thinks, we could not
be accused Of violating the Constitution
that is, supposing God should turn aboli-
tionist, as lie has always done when slave
holding nations grew wicked, rebelious, OPT
pressoys Of the poor, DC, pretty much as
the South is doing at present. We are
right glad the El1lercould afford under 81 oh
circumstances to acknowle lge the Higher
Law, which Shareholders have accused Sew
ard Of inventing for their destruction, but
Of which the Elder now acknowledges God
as being the authorl May he continue e
grow IN grace and in the faith that Gsd's
laws are above our laws, and that even hui
man constitutions interpreted to mean slayo-
ry are as nothing when compared with
heavens DEGREES.
The following language is charged by
the Elder to the account Of Mr Seward
4 glory that we s.fe a sectional patty; tile
North arrayed against the South; it is the
/ first crack in the Union; you will hear il
rip all tie way through" Sach language,
if uttered by Seward, would and ought e
convict him Of treason; we never heard be
fore Of his using such language, and would
stake our life that he never used il. He
/ might have talked some such stuff as sal-
casm or as a take-of on the trash used BY
his enemies, but he never could have utter
ed such sentiments and endorsed the nean-
4 inc which the Elder gives them. Seward
has said, ''the Union must be preserved
although its salvation costs every drop d
"the nations blood and every dollar Of the
"nation's treasury" this last was rash
stroke Of rhetorical lightning and simple
enough, God knows; Stewards enemies
hare much to bis account--enough K
make him greater man than he is, bui
~ fool, % the language quoted BY thC
Elder would make him.
/ AS to our saying that the "Uniop is dis
solved, beyond the possibility Of reconstruc
ton" we may have said so for we did GER
ainly think Sd at the close Of Buchanan
administration. We think vet that mucl
depends on the Elder aqd bis peculiar kini
Of thinkers, writer's and actors whether il i
saved; for this reason we are taking al
this pains to convert the Elder into I
Union man without any IFS or buts, SO thai
he can help convert the rest, for the great
er The sinner the brighter the saint and th,
more Of worker. So goodbye Elder
and may you next appear as q great Ugh
to light us all through the wilderness o
Our pefils.
