Delaware; Stark -aaa SHE, Of Oregon !;
Vallandigham, Of Ohio, aud others of
that class OF men-men who, as members
of Congress, have never given single
vote TO sustain the Government in this
her hour of trouble, nor voted . single
dollar to pay the Union soldier who is
/ risking his life to save the country men
who let no occasion pass to abuse the Alb
olitionists and earnest soldier, but who
have never uttered u single word against
the rebellion, or even their inhulnan cru
city to Union men and Union soldiers
men who VIGOROUSLY sympathize with the
South in this infamous rebellion.
i Voters of Iowa, if you want this rebel
lion put down, do not vote for men NOM
mated by either the Vallandigham De-
mocracy or Conservative Congressional
Caucus" followers. The rebellion cannot
be put down by words; it must be put
down by blows, and both of these parties
but one in fact) are opposed to blows that
will hurt the rebels. One-half of the
members of that caucus have uniformly
voted against all appropriation to carry
on the war, and the balance, with scarcely
an exception, have voted against every
proposition calculated to hurt the rebels
They vote against all confisca,ion laws
they vote against allowing the soldiers to
use the slaves Of rebel masters to do the
drudgery of the army and but give them
the control OF Congress, and they will vote
against all supplies for the Government
to be used for the suppression Of the re-
bellion. They expect to have such ma
jority after the elections this fall, and
they expect Iowa to bear part in the
infamy.

may SET it down that he is at least hall

Of rebels to help pay the war debt The
Conservative Vallandighammers in Con-

Abolitionists want to set free the slaves
