or RoLK COUNTY,. :
ss4 FOR CONGRESS.
= We place Al. the head Of our columns this
week the name OF the Republican candidate
for Congress in this District. We do this
Eith great satisfaction. Mr.. KAssoN, who
isMas uoninated by the. Republican Conven-
tion At sSintcrset on Monday last, is one
of the ablest men Of Iowa, and if elected,
(of which there can be no reasonable doubt)
will take leading and foremost position
in Congress. He is we'll known to the peo-
Pile Of this District as an able lawyer, and
eloquent speaker. As q Republican, no man
, did more than be to secure the election Of
L Mr.. Lincoln, and the triumphs of the Re-
publican cause in the State. lie is now
devoted heart and soul to the maintenance
of the Union, and the crushing out of this
wicked rebellion. We are assured that he
will Immediately resign his responsible po-
sition at Washington, and returning home
will enter upon an active canvass of the
District. By the true and unconditional
] Union men everywhere he will be heartily
welcomed and enthusiastically supported.
80 ~ THE NEW GALL FOR TROOPS.
The President has issued a new call for
10000 additional volunteers, as will be
seen BY the recent Proclamation of the Gov
ernor. We hope and earnestly pray that
the free State of Iowa will not be backward
in responding With her Eve regiments to this
call. Now is the time for patriotism to ex
hibit itself in an unspeaknble manner-in
n manner that shall cause all rebeldom
to quake, and old England and all the $ old
mosarehies to stand aghast at the specta-
Gle of free people rising in their might
for the purity, preservation and perpesuity
of those institutions bequeathed to US by
our patriot fathers. Now is the time to
shake of all partizau feeling, all objec-
tions to tbis,t or the other officer or Gen'l,
and march out with patriotic confidence in
the greatness of our cause, and the ability
! of American freemen to maintain the right
to place among the nations Of the earth.
1t is now q generally accepted fact that
Abraham Lincoln is for The prosecution Of
tho war in accordance with the powers
granted by the Constitution, and that he
will not do that which will conflict with his
oath of Office. And that being the case,
now is the time for those who have jeal-
onsly watched him, to generously lay their
objections Z" on the shelf" and lend their
assistance both pecuniarily and in person
to the crushing, burying, and damning Of
the i'll beg'tten rebellion which is laying
waste the Southern portion of our fair
country. Come out, patriots come out
everybody, and lend your assistance to the
noble work, and the blessings of posterity
shall be yours. Iowa can, and Iowa must
raise her quota--and to do it,, many for
while, will be forced to foreso the pleas
urss Of home, Of luxury and of ease; but
how triaing is the sacrifice when compared
to the blessings which shall flow from their
denial = how grateful will be the chill
dren Of living men for that sacrifice. How
grateful posterity will be, for the blessings,
privileges and immun,ties they will be per.
United to cnjoy-those their fathers fought
for.
This is now the turning point in the re-
bellion, and if loyal States are prompt in
their response, the requiem of rebellion
will be sung by it's votaries in less time than
nine months-and is not that an induce
meut to rally at your country's call? Now
il the accepted time--let Americas sons
pour forth from their homesteads and join
the legion, Of their patriotic brothers, and
with one stroke of that vast, mighty army
will this powerful rebellion be eternally
throttled. as

men to Immediately volunteer under the
new call. The immediate prospect of over
coming the rebels-the succession of VIC

the iiberality Of Congress in making every
provision for the recruits-all tend to thu
