Council Bluffs bugle. [volume] (Council Bluffs, Iowa) 1860-1868, 1862-08-13

We clip the following truthful state,
ment from the Magnolia Republican,, 4
Black Republican Abolition paper pub,
hshed in Harrison county in this State:
s'There are some as foul traitors In the
town Of Council Bluffs as you could 6nd
In ten days travel Ia the State of South
Carolina We understand they have be-
come so bold as to speak ont their trea-
Ronahle sentiments On tbs streets and in
the ears of Uaion man. II il 9 wonder
TO as thai they are not ssshot On the spot. 1"
Va know OF . great many Union lov-
ing men in Council Bluffs, and we pre-.
sumo they are IN the majority; bas when
they allow the bassst treason to stalk
forth publicly and at noonday, We must
conclude they are lacking In that courage
80 necessary to back up true patriotism
now days. There are . number of mes-
chants there who ara not at all careful or
scrupuIous about uttering traitorous sen-
timents. Ii may often be absolutely nee
essary to trade With such men. but we
think they should be avoided whenever it
is possible. We are willing to publish
the names of those traitor establishments
whenever we can get indubitabls evidence
OF their guilt"
The above is as true as Gospel preach
ing. We have heard them express the
following Unreasonable sentiments on
the streets aud IN the ears of Union men,"
81 want the Border States 30 secede.-
want all the slave States 70 60 out to-
gether. DON'T want any Of them to re-
main in the Union-'
Another secessioniss said:
81 don't want the Uuiou as IL was with
slavery in any Of the States. II slavery
can't be abolished | want to see the I'm
ion divided. don's want the old Con-
stitution that Acknowledges the right to
hold slaves in any State. san in favor
of the slave States seeding if slavery is
not abolished" This man IL leader of
the Repab iean-Abolition party; he at
tends their Conversions and holds oEhoe
under the present Administration.
Another secessionist, sin the ears of
Union men," the other day said:
"GOd damn the Union, If slavery can't
be abolished, for my part am willing to |
Isl the. Constitution and Union 20 to |
Heil.n We forbaTs to give further |
Unreasonable sentiments uttered BY trait |
ors In the ears OF Union men on the |
streets of our city. We have hsasj than
uttered and perhaps We were 'slacking 10
that courage necessary to back up true
patriotism" did not shoot tbe traitor
''on the spot" Our courage always sort
70 giAs sout, when we call to mind that
shooting is game that two can play at
but we have no doubt but the editor of
the Republican would have lst of bic
revolver right among his political friends
and associates, but we could not think of
shooting a Republican traitor and seees-
sionist. . 81 .a...g b.. ..
So FAR - our merchants are concerned,
We are not prepared from actual knowl-
edge to bear testimony against them
but We know that some of them in poIiti-
cal matters act With the before "A Mentioned
"seeessioa traitors" and a. they are Of
the same party 70 Which tbs editor of The
Republicans belongs, We presume he knows
whereof ha speaks, and we hope that the
traa ONION men viii give haed to his
advice. ..~-es e-- ..- {
Give us the names Of those merchants,
Dir. RepGbAean, who are guilty Of utter a,
ing Unreasonable sentiments" You,
sughs to be ia possession Of the "indubit- 4
able evidence Of their guilt. We, don't
hang about stores kept By Republican :
Abolitionists. n
