At this fearful crisis In our National existence
when the holest passions Of a mans nature
should be appealed to-this ex,minister of the
y Gospel is rending all his energies and racking
his butter-milk brains and ptostituting What
little talent be possesses. to weaken the peoples
faithin, their legally constituted rulers, and
b vainly endesvoring to induce the people of
Iowa to Believe that the success of the Mahony,
Steward vallahdigham faesion-ofs which he is
but weak tool-is paramount to the salvation
of the Constitution and Union, To what depth
has he fallen? Poor, infatuated acreature-to
presume, for an iustant, that an intelligent con,
stituency would send you ! to represent them in
the Congress Of the United States1 when the no
BILE, talented and eloquent Wilson is asking
them for their suffsages! Then, what presump.
ton it il, in this mat Hornish, to ask his adop.
ted fellov-citixens to cast their votes for HIM,
when, but short time since, he WAS actually
conspiripg against their political rights and Or
ganizing Know.Nothing Lodges all through
Southern Iowa aiming so to reconstruct and
frame this Government, that foreigners who
seek home on the North American continent
shall remain here twensy-one years before they
can vote, thus degrading them below the leve

ably discharged Adopted citizens! will YOU
vote for Hornish, knowing as you must know
that he ia . conspirator against your deares
rights, and boasts of it..
This carping, ran.ing, sense ess demagogus
HorAish, says in one breath that he is in favo
of sustaining the Administration, and in tn,
next protests most theatrically and clownishly
against those very measures necessary to carr!
on the war. As q specimen of his balderdasl
and sophistry, he says the producer pays th,
tax, then appealing to the avarice of the con
sumner, he would make him believe that he pais
all the tax, and then to the manufacturer, b,
veuld convince him that the burdens of taxa
ton fall most heavily on that class r.
:. Hornish should have explained what class O.
people would be compelled to pay the million,
Of dollars of Rsilroad taxes he was chiefly in
strumental in fastening upon the tax payer:
OF Lee County, some years since, if the Sp-
preme Court of the United States should hold
eur railroad bonds constitutional n
Let this mar Hornish explain Why the people
saould pay for railroads that were never built
and enrich eontractors-Ike himself furnishine
him the means to buy the gold watch be exhibi
ted with such gusto, and the forty ounces of sill
yer plate he talks about owning, or stop pratine
about taxation to pay our gallant soldiers-the
only practical patriots We have-for their ser.
vices IN protecting oil We hold most sacred.
The most striking feature Of the whole dis.
cuason, was that Wills. Mr. Wilson made a
frank avowal of Just what he would do if re.
elected, Hornish persistingly refused to state a
single proposition that be would support if cleo
ted.
The people will decide on the 18th day
october, 1852, that they want no vallandigham
efs or any of his ex-ministerial know nothing
sa'sehtes to represent them, but bold and true
statesmen, 50 that when peace is restored, it
VIII be as lasting as it is just.
Inc only thing that puzzles your correspon-
oen. is, that such driveling, sniveling junior
VI tne Aahony Steward clique, would have the
presumption to oppose Wilson on the stump, or
any one else, when such men as Gen. futile,
Ooi. williamson, Col. Bussey, Col. Crocker and
capt. Reid, and hosts of other patriots, are
leaving the rotten craft and refuse longer to co.
operate with Vallandigham & Co.
Suffice it to say, that the triumphs that Will
Son is gaining over this slack .witted orator
hornish, daily, will be most emphatically rati.
ned at the polls the coming month, convincing
hornish and his friends Gf he has any left when
the campaign Closes that the voters of this
Congressional District are loyal to the core, and
determined to maintain the Government at all
hazard and at any sacrifice, and regulating
base coin when its spurious character is 40 ma.
