Correspondence Of the Chicago Tribune1
DEs MoSEs, Iowa, Dec II, 1862.
The ruInor telegraphed West few days
since, that Seymour and Fernando Wood had
received rebel authority to ask for an armis-
tice in order to pave the way for permanent
peace, occasioned much feeling here and else
where throughout the State. It Was felt that
such peace as could be hoped for under such
auspices, was death to the Republic. ssGiye
us peaace,' say the people, Sin Gods name,
at the earliest moment; :; but let it be a peace
that eomports with national honor, truth, JUS
tice and liberty. When the rebels lay down
their arms and and render unconditional Sub
mission to the Constitution and laws of the
country, the war will cease. It should not
cease before. II they were to do that to-day
the national heart would overflow with graft
tude to the Ruler Of the Universe for SO great
a blessing, and purposes Of mercy would
spring up spontaneously in the hearts Of loyal
men,. But if this contest is to be protracted,
and the slaughter Of our people is to, be con-
tinued, in order to conquer q peace, it will
seem jnsf, in the eyes Of the world, to break
every bone in the body Of slavery and lay
waste the rebel States, SIS. the only quarter
We want no mediation, foreign or home;
much less such az glories in its sympathy
with the worst traitors and the most despe-
rate schemes Of. the rebel States.
The Iowa correspondent Of the Chicago
Times grows exultant over the supposition
that the 81, eco 1oya1 soldiers this State has
sent forth to fight tho battles of the Union,
will not be permitted to vote at the next e1ec-
ton; thus the door may be opened for q
Democratic triumph "a Democratic triumph by
disfranchising those who rally around the flag
Of the country Think you, MessEs Editors,
that the soldiers, will be at. a loss as to their
duty when again among ,iss VIII they be
likely to forget this fire in the rears VIII
they be able to understand why the men who
now seek to diefranchise them, Foted, to- a
man, in the Legislature, for the proposition
to give the soldiers the privilege Of voting
wherever. they could be reached? We owe d
debt Of gratitude to the tories for the full dis
closure they have made Of their feelings to-
wards the million Of men who stand enrolled
under the starry ensign Of our country.
But the correspondent Of the Times may
find that he has counted without his host. I
: can; tell him, and those for whom he speaks,
that Provision will. be made for the soldiers
votes at the next election, If the war be- not
ended. My hope Is that our victorious armies
