Our Ticket.

AT the head of our columns will be found
the three State tickets now before the PEG.
pie OF Iowa for their choice-the Union,
the Republican, the Democratic. AS our
readers will surmise, the first of these will
receive our support. Composed of unex-
ceptional men, nominated without regard to
old party associations, selected for their
patriotism, grounded upon platform that
has its basis in the Constitution, the loyal
and true men of Iowa, can we'll afford to
lay aside party feelings and give them a
generous, hearty support.
The proceedings of the Union Conven.
ton will be found upon the first page of
this paper, and to them we direct attention.
The resolutions represent the essence OF
patriotism-a patriotism which affirms
nothing that is bad, and yields nothing
which is good patriotism which would
make this war ''quicl, sharp, and decisive"
until the dignity Of the Constitution and
the majesty Of the Law is thoroughly vim.
dicated.
The bitterness Of spirit which the Sec
tional press in localities of this State al
ready manifests, is calculated, just in the
ratio of its influence, to distract ard divide
our people, when they should be cemented
for the generous purpose of preserving the
Union and preserving themselves. A Dem.
ocratic and Republican ticket cannot be
presented to the people Of State without
drawing out on the part of editors, and
stump.speakers, bitter personalities. De.
plore it on general principles as much as
they may, the practical! issues of the cam.
paign invariably arc ignored, and personal
abuse Of candidates and of rival editors and
orators cnsues. In ordinary times these
rancorous discussions result in no serious
danger, for the good old ship Of stat,
plows steadily on, and the clements SCOT
fall back into THAR appointed channel
after the campaign is concluded. But thcs
are extraordinary times. The government

THE CRoPs.-The DEBORAH Republic Of
the 9Th inst. says: From what we gather
from farmers in different parts of the coun-
ty, We judge the wheat crop in Northern
Iowa will not average more than half per
acre, what it did last year."
From personal observation and direct
enquiry, we are led to think our friends oil
the Republic are in error. On recent trip
through ten different counties Of Northern
Iowa, VIC found satisfactory evidence thai
the crops in most localities exceeds the
average yield. Many with whom we con
versed said oil kinds of grain were ever
better than last season.

The THREE TIcKErs.-We fling from the
head Of our columns the three tickets pre-.
scented to the people Of Iowa for their suf-
frages. Those who are for their country
according to the Republican plan, can vote
the Republican ticket; those who are for
their country according to the Democratic
way, may use the Democratic ticket; and
those who are for their country without
preambles or provisos, % they can but
save their country undivided, win find the
Union ticket just to their liking. Every
freeman who is Of age pays his taxes and
takes his choice.

THE BEST Observation-Disclosures may be
said Of the peculiar political views enter
tanned by D.. A. Mahoncy, the editor of the
Dubuque Herald, it must be conceded, we
think, that he has proven himself very
successful general of the Democratic forces.
The proceedings Of the late Democratic
convention, indicate that the manner and
matter Of his call, meets the approval of the
majority of the members Of the Democratic
party in this State. No matter therefore
how much people may think his endorse
ment is the result of packed caucusses,
both conventions have pursued the line oil
policy he marked out, and for this out-gen-
erallng of opposing forces, d. A. Mahoney
must have the credit.

Good Establishrn emit.

A Good EStablishmen emit.
We spent few moments Of Monday in
looking over the large mercantile establish
mcnt Of r. Y. Cory, Of this city, Cat the
old stand Of d. s. Cook and for the first
time realized the extent and activity of the
trade which this gentleman enjoys.
Entering at the main entrance, we Oh.
served general salesroom for Staple Dry
Goods, Boots and Shoes, Notions, etc.,
which Allied up all the shelving upon either
side and encroached upon the counters. -
Passing from the main room to the right,
VIC came upon the grocery room where
were piled barrels, boxes, sacks, and pack
ages Of every known article embraced by
the substantive "Groccries." In the rear
Of the Grocery Room was another devoted
to fluids such as Oils, Syrups, Turpentine,
Burning Fluid, etc. Up stairs was gen.
eral storeroom for goods in bulk, also a
very large assortment of carpets, crockery,
plain cotton and wooden cloths, nails, etc.
Adjoining the store is good water-p proof
shed devoted exclusively to the storage Of
salt, which is thus kept dry and prevented
from losing its SAVIOR.
In fact to sum up the whole matter, at
the present time when stocks usually run
rather low, our friend Corey has $4,000
worth Of goods of the general variety so
necessary to western house, and is about
going eastward after his fall and winter
stocks. From the large and excellent varic.
ty of his assortment he is enabled to offer
inducements to country merchants and
peddlcrs which are rarely excelled.
A gentlemanly courtesy is extended by
every salesman in the establishment, and
we have noted the fact that he who trades
there once is quite sure to call again. This
fact is a better compliment to the proprietor,
statesmen, and goods, than any words
which we can employ.

A condition of peace is one most condu-
Give to the prosperity of nation or an in.
dividual. Under its benign auspices there
is no check to a healthy, prosperous ex-
pansion. From out the stimulus Of an un-
retarded growth there may appear ten
dency to an abuse of unalloyed prosperity,
but that is merely contingency of rapid
development, and does not seriously affect
the general onward and upward progress of
the people. Peace is synonym for good
times 1t is indicative of broad wheat
fields, populous towns, the whir of thou
sand factories, and the general hum of
active business. AS the elevated Toodles
would say, it is even "a handy thing to
have in ones house."
The converse Of this fine order of things,
is war,-a condition always to be deplored,
and to be avoided if possible. 1t is full Of
horrors and was pictured by the ancients
as female fiend flying through the dark
ness, sword in one hand and torch in
the other. tits indicative of ravaged fields,
decaying towns, rusting factories-save
those wherein grim agents Of destruction
are manufactured-and the general pros
tration of business. 1t is an agent which
eats up the very vitality of a nation and
leaves it utterly Frustrated, if not ruined.
To avoid its terrors we may well sacrifice
everything but our honor; yield everything
but the right. But when the issue of war
foreign or LOCALS forced upon people,
all that they have and all that they ever
expect to have, impcls them on penalty Of
disintegration or destruction, to meet the
issue fearlcssly, firmly. In this condition
our government is placed. A long catalogue
of outrages against the rightfh authority
were successfully borne in silence, and not
until one of our brave garrisons,-placed in
the commercial emporium of a seeded
State to protect her from danger should her
sovereignty be encroaehed upon,-was by
it surrounded by 5000 men and fercely can
nonaded, did it resort to the only honorable
alternative left.
War is upon us-civil war, the most cal
amitous Of all wars-and we must look its
horrors right in the face. The issue must
be nett cannot be averted-and should
we succumb our country will 60 to pieces
before our sight,-our liberties will be lost
forever, and the States which compose this
glorious Union will relapse into score Of
qnarrelsome scgmcnts, the footballs Of any
government on earth which may perchance
feel irritated at US. May God avert such
dire results.
Two hundred men are wanted from Clay.
ton Co. this week to fill up Mayor IIobart's
company, the Home Guards, and the regi
ment of Lanccrs. Let the patriotic, thu
brave, the chivalric come forward and sigr
the roll. The National Capitol is still me
naccd and the government calls on every
man to do his duty. We are sure that cal
will not come to US in vain, for the peopl
will send forth strong and brave souls t.
make this war "quick, sharp, and decisive.
Then we shall have peace fruitful of goo'
results, under which we shall rise highe
than ever before in the grandeur and powe
Of National existence.

Cause Of the Schism.
The Dubuque daily Union attributes the
cause of the present schism in the Demo
cratic party to the dishonorable political
action of D. A. Mahoney, editor of the
Dubuque Herald; and in support of its
statement, publishes letter from Henry
Altman, Chairman Of the Iowa Democratic
Central Committee. Mr.. A. writes from
Colorado Territory, that he himself wrote
on the 18th of April call for Democratic
State Convention, to be held at Des Moines
on the 10th day of June, signed it with
his own name, and left it in the Herald
office for publication.
1t appears that this call which was au-
thoritative, lay in the office of the Herald
for nearly two months, after which time it
was put aside and new call, burdened
with an arrangement of the government for
plunging the country into an unjust war,
was published in its stead. These appear
to be the facts, and if they are such and
the Herald makes no satisfactory explana-
ton of its action in the premises, it will be
difficult matter for it to dodge the respon-
sibility of splitting the Democratic party
of this State in twain.
We are not fully assured in our own
mind, but that this schism, provoked by
the causes enumerated, will result in great
good in the impetus it will give the Union
movement. If the selfish partisan orbit Of
the Republican party could be similarly
disturbed, enough Of its conservatives might
be thrown off, to make, added to those from
the Democratic organization, an overwhelm
ing, patriotic majority. We believe thu
Union movement however will succeed
even against the organized opposition o
the Republican party, and the shattered
fragment of the Democratic party.
