Sensitive,

The Courier, in reply to our appeal to "Sol-
diers of the Republic" 1t recapitulates its
editorial texts, which have been harped upor
so long as to become, to its own party, dis
eusting. True to its malice intent, it states
an unmitigated falsehood. 1t says: care
there not some Democrats in the army !?
To such permit us to say the Journal has re-
peatedly called you 'secessionists' and trait
ors.'" In the absence of reason the editor
thinks fraud and deceit will meet the public
wants. The Courier knows full well that in
our editorial course we have at all times
awarded the full measure of patriotism and
devotion to country to those Democrats who
have no nobly responded to their country s
call as to enlist in the armies of the Republic.
We have also always admitted that there were
thousands of loyal Democrats with whom we
were in cooperation to suppress rebellion and
crush out treason. We have never, and we
here DEFY the Courier to select from our files
a single instance wherein we have made the
sweeping charge that the Democratic party
were "secessionists" and TRAITORS" tits not
true. Neither is it true that the Democratic
party is all loyal and patriotic. While thous-

The GREAT DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETINa.-
SPEECH OF Ed. THAYER.-For week or two
past, large posters have been stuck up in va
rious parts of the county, announcing great
Democratic mass meeting at Anamosa on Sat
urday, Sept. 18th. Well, the thing came off
at the time appointed and was lamentable
failure both in regard to numbers and enthu-
siasm. About noon string of six wagons
came in from Greenfield, and said wagons
contained about one half of the entire meeting.
At no time were there more than one hun
dred men in the grove, and q ite number OF
these were Republicans.
The exercises commenced by the appoint
ment of R. S. Hadley as Chairman. After a
few remarks from him song was sung, and
then E. H. Thayer, the Democratic candidate
for Congress, was introduced. Mr.. Thayer is
very poor specimen of a very ordinary man.
His speech was merely an apology for slavery
and rebellion. He commenced by denounc-
ing abolitionists as the cause Of the war -
thought they were entirely to blame. He de-
nounced Congress, and said that the law
passed at the last session, which prohibits
Slavery from going into the territories, was
''dan,nnble treason :" said the war was being
wag.d for the beuefit of the nigger, and, that
as long as the present party was IN power, the
war would last. He asked what satisfaction
it was for mother who had lost son, or O
wife who had lost husband, to be told that
their loved ones had died in fighting to free
the nigger, and large amount of other trash
of the same import. He also indirectly glori
fed the martyr Mahony."
His whole speech did not contain one single
patriotic sentiment; but on the contrary wa:
| filled with the rankest kind of treason. NJ
man can endorse his sentiments who does no
sympathize with the rebellion, and we ar
glad to say that at least one Democrat had tn
manliness to announce his disgust at tn
speech, and call the speaker "d--orned fool,
and he should have added traitor! We ais
heard man, who had recently returned from
the army, say that Thayer was meaner thai
any rebel he had seen in the south, and tina
his speech was more reasonable than tn
conversation of the rankest rebel.-Anamos

Oh nation in travail and shrckng in anguish,
Rejoice that thy pangs bear the prestige of life
Though thy form shall awhile in keen agony languish
II shall rise with fresh strength from the pain and the
strife
Though shocking the havoc though fearful the Slaughter
Now urging thee on through thy terrible pain,
Thou shalt bring to the birth both aud daughter
Best Freedom and Union the name of the twain
Oh nation, thy women in darkness weeping
The husband. the father, the brother, is slaia
And many babe, from its innocent sleeping
Shall wake, TO cry for its father in vain.
The blood Of thy children Is gushing TO thco,
1t stains thy fair fields with It's slckening dye
Wa, wo TO the traitors who reeklessly brave thee,
And the years in their cycles shah deepen the cry,
oh nation, still on thou must go to the battle,
Thy hosts must surge a death dealing food,
Though the mother must shrek and tho child It's
p.atte,
While the flower Of country is dripping with blood
On though that blood stain the land and the water
And one light at least from each home be removed
Tis dreadful for brothers each other to slaughter,
More dreadful to yield what fathers have loved
Oh nation, thy brave arc terribly stricken,
| And millions their memory fondy will keep
The eye must grow dim and the heart must sicken
Where I.YoN and Lander in death asleep.
TAKrH, zen iL"i vert not proof the bullet, -

The heart of his love to its anguish must school it,

Yet nation, faint not, TIL thy tri-colored Banner
Waves each thou callest thine own
And thy subjects glad shout shall ring out in hosanpa
While full hearts shall welcome thy brave soldiers home
Show thou TO the Powers that envy thy glory,
That a chqrge is stiH tctt if they dare to Insult!
We have not forgotten a certain old story,
Nor over ITS sequel yot ceased to exult
Oh nation, thou holdcs the universe breathless,
To know if thou art but meteor bright
Or fired star, still. shining brilliant and eathess
Obsouring the thrones Of the earth with thy light
