"When rebel sympsthizers in Iowa talk
of seomprOmises, il means only treason /;
and when they talk Of peace, ii means on

rebels wssA arms Ia their hAnds."
The foregoing is part Of one Of se'
ries of resolutions offered in the late Re-
pabliesn County Convantton BY d. @.
Bloomsx, and all unanimously adopted Of
course, The extract We bare quoted is .
lie from beginning to end, and not very
dextrous one at that. The essence of
falsehood is the intention to deceive; and
ws characterize these res5iatioas Of Mr..
Bloomer as false in intention and false 10
fact. 1865
There is not Democrat in Iowa who
is q disunionist but we can pointto Re-
publieaus, high in rank, who have been
disunionistst Cor seven years past, aud who,
even since secession commenced, have
been in favor eflstting the Soath go but
who for the sake of party and plunder,
have Joined in the war cry, and now clam
or for 'conhscation" and "abolition" to
make re- union impossible. .-..

more soldiers. The Iowa regiments in

the Governors call? Mr.. Bloomer is
nesdsd in the Geld; II he will go he can
be Major or Colonel. If he will take
up arms, and not run away the first battle,
we premise to Vots for him for Congress
at the very drst opportunity. Men who
are SO war-like, as the stay at-home Re
publican leaders Of Council Bluffs, must
regard everybody - ; traitor, Who does
not now enlist IN the army. II they are
consistent they must come 70 this canciu-

the Confseatios Bill; and we are d the
opinion. that If the Union is to be saved
only BY Confscation, Abolition and War,
nearly every able bodied man in the North

other patriot rush out at once 90 the Geld;
shsa we will acknowledge shsir eonsissen-

aonists are In favor Of rssorting to I'D:
