y adopted. fa
Resolved, That the National Administers
ton 10 entitled to the unwavering support
OF the American people in its efforts to crush
out the wicked rebellion which the TRAITORS
Of the Southern States are now wagipg
against the Government.
Resoired, That the war against the reb.
els should be prosecuted with all the vigor
and efficiency that the power of the Gov.
eminent can command, until the enemies
of tho Uoion are overthrow, and the su.
premacy of the laws completely re-estab.
lished, and that when this end is achieved,
and not until then, will is be time to talk
Of len,ty and amnesty to treason snd to
traitors. aaiz Esq - ga f99iH
Resolved, That since the wicked aud I'M
hallOwed ambition of Southern leaders and
politicians has brought this war upon
the country with all its loss Of lf and
properly, We believe that the power Of the
Gov erpment should be visited upon the
guilty authors of this war, and that We
therefore hail with lively satisfaction the
passage by Congress of . Law con6scating
tho property of leading rebels for the ben
eft Of the National treasury.
Resolued, That none but traitors, and the
friends vt traitors, rejoice over the defeat
of the Union armies, and yet we have too
much reason to know that men are found,
even 10 the free State of Iowa, who hail
with lively satisfaction the announcements
Of rebel victories, and the death of Union
soldiers. For such men. wherever found,
the loyal people of the Union can cherish
only feelings Of unmitigated pity and con-
tempt. When rebel sympathisers in Iowa
talk Of compromise" it means only trea-
son; and when they talk of $. peace" it
means only the submission of the Govern
ment to rebels with arms in their hands for
its overthrow.
Resolved, That the unbounded praise and
admiration OF every loyal heart is most
justly due, and most cheerfully extended to
the gallant officers and soldiers who have
fought, and are still fighting, 90 gloriously
and with such heroic fortitude, the battlee
Of the Union. Solong 40 memory endures
or liberty survives, their names will be
venersted 10 the hearts Of their countrymeo.

man and T. N. Copeland.
