CITY OF MUSCATINE.
Cool.

Cool.
The weather Saturday morning was decid-
eddy cool, and almost frosty. Capt. Burmeis-
ter's men, without their blankets or quilts,
must have been very cold. Bye-the-way,
we hope the good ladies Of Muscatine have re-
sponded to the Captains call. But the cool
est thing by far Of the season was the Cour-
isr's leader that morning We are sorry so
few read the Courier, for it is often amusing.
If our own columns were not so crowded, we
would like to transfer this pathetic appeal OF
the Courier to the Journal, SO that tho re-
publicans of this district could see the claims
the Judge has on them, as supporters Of Pres
ident Lincoln, for their votes. Do not be as
tonished, Republicans, but get Saturdays
Courier if you can find one, and read that
an important election is to come off in Octo-
Der, and remember that the editor OF the
Courier is running for Congress on the Ma
hony ticket, and calls on you Republicans to
vote for him because "7ns President needs
encouragement from the people," and will not
get it unless We send the Judge to Congress.
Is not that cool enough to spoil the grapes
and sour the tomatoesr
fought not the President to be sustained
in the positions he has taken," urges the
Judge and continues: 'the President must
be sustained. All good men will stand by the
President at the polls. All the people can
have the opportunity Of assuring the Presi-
dent that they are with him-by voting for
the editor Of. the Courier.-( Here the laugh
comes in. Let the people then, who desire
to aid the President, be sure that they put
their ballots Qor the judge where the Presi-
dent can receive the benefit of them
Rest assured, Mr. Candidate, that the voters
of this Congressional District will so cast
their ballots that the President will know
that he will be sustained by the loyal citi-
zens ofIowa, in all his efforts to crush this
rebellion even if he should "Emancipats all
the SLAVES to SAGE The Union"
We need net refer the readers of the Cou-
sier to the far back numbers of that paper, in
which he denounces the confscation bill, the
emancipation of the slaves in the District OF
Columbia, the forever inhibition of slavery
from our Territories, the suppression Of dis
loyal newspapers and the impressment of dis
loyal men, to show that out of his own mouth
the Judge is condemned.
He defended Vallandigham in Thursday S
Courier, who has opposed all the war meas
ures of the President.
He attacked, in his leader of Friday, ''the
Republican Administration" of which "the
President that must be sustained" is the
head-the Cabinet that the same President
appointed, and 'the Congress" whose acts
have been approved by that "President that
now needs our aid at the ballot-box," and
charged them with the responsibility of spend
ing "thrss millions of dollars daily" to put
down this rebellion inaugurated by Davis,
Floyd & Co., and now encouraged by vallan-
digham, Mahoney & Co. After all this the
Courier has the effrontery to say:
'Being honest in his (the President's) eff
forts to save the Union, we would not inten-
tionally place feathers aceight in the way
of the consummation of his desires"
W-h-e-w Judge, tell another. Let us hold
the Judge strictly to his own judgement, as
follows:
eff you are sincere in your efforts to sus-
tain the President, support no man for office
who denounces the policy of the Administra-
ton"
We will now copy from the same paper and
show that while the editor uses his pen as a
demagogue, his scissors betray the tra-ducer
of the President:
Somebody has fearful account to settle
with the Nation for the recent state of affairs,
which, if they had not treated Mcclellan so
outrageously, would have been SO different.
This somebody is no less a man than the
President, and we must not vote for anybody
that denounces him.
(afark that, for our Democratic candidate
for Congress says so.)
Further on in this same beautiful Washing.
ton letter, quoted approvingly by the paper
that would not ''lay feathers weight in the
way of the President
This very morning was talking to gen.
eral officer and some others, in little group,
and an intimation was thrown out that they
might even now supersede Gen. Mcclellan
The officer raised his arms, and with an awful
imprecation said, If they do. all the inhu-
ence and all the exertions Of their officers
couldn't prevent an outbreak in the army,
and their taking possession of Washington,
and scattering the high officials, from the
President down, to the four winds of heaven,
without regard to consequences really
believe this is Gods truth, from oil have
seen and heard"
Here is this Congressman, (f we vote for
him. This man so anxious to aid the Presi-
demonstrating and approving nut!ny, in
subordimatiom and TREASON in our army Of
6cers.
The turning of President Lincoln-for
whom he processes so much fiendship-(to
get our votes) out of the Presidential chair
by the bayonets of traitors The treason of
JEFF. Davis pales before this. Heaven save
our good President from such friends.
This is no new project. It was first sug-
gested by the New York Herald, who encour-
aged the slave holders rebellion, till mob af-
ter the fall of Sumter compelled it to show the
Stars and Stripes from its Office.
1t is now reviewed by the New York Ex-
press and Endorsed by such loyal papers as
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Chicago Times and
the MMscatine Courier. But the latter is en-
titled to a patent-for after indorsing this
traitorous design to dispose Mr.. Lincoln
then call upon the loyal voters of Iowa to vote
for him as the peculiar friend Of the Presi-
