these opinions:-

'that the Government of the United States

recognize their independence" es Il
/ If the above be correct premises, then as
an honest and just man, Mr. Trimble is
bound to admit these facts: ..,. a.
First, That if a people have right to re
bel, it is orong to prevent that rebellion.
Second, That all attempts by force t.
suppress that rebellion is wicked and unjust
and
THIRD, That il the people of the Southern
States enormously imagine and conclude
with a full knowledge Of all the facts befor,

The Issue Of Tuesday Next.

The anti-war democracy have with studi.
Gus efforts kept out Of view the great ques
tions to be decided at the next election. :
They may be the issues of national life OF
death. The rebels viii watch the vote, for
they must be pleased with the Mahony plat.
form, and ayo;e for candidates on it will be
practical sympathy for their cause. i
Soldiers and their friends never had such
stake in an election. The support Of the
President, the confiscation of rebel property
and the comfort Of soldiers, are questions
INVOLVED. Can they doubt who are their
friends? The democratic leaders, Jones,
Dodge, HEM, & Co., are never seen at a
war meeting; they cannot CLAIM to be pat
riots--yet ther will he busy election day,
whispering peace, with hearts charged with
treason. gw @ ssa
Iowa sounds a key note in the West, and
let Hornish or Martin be elected to Con-
gress and it will give strength to the anti
war party, and the secret conclavcs will
openly proclaim their treason The lines
are drawn. Let every Union voter drop his
vote as he would point his gun if a rebel were
within reach. Bring ont the last man.
Reason with your friends aud point out the
duty Of sustaining our President. Vote as
your sons will in the army, and all will be
safe. Iowa first in fighting, she Will stand
Just as true at the polls.

one Of the best practical tests. Sixteen oil
