1t is true, presume, that, among his

WHO ORDERS ARRESTS


Our contemporary, in the rage of his
villainous, eaumnious charges against the
Government, on account of the arrest OF
his treason. propagating friends, glnts his
vindictiye malice especially on Governor
kiirkwood. He charges that the Cover
nor is at the bottom of the arrest of Ma
hony, Steward, DIR. Bailey and others, in
our State, whose reasonable manifesto
tons have so long outraged the feelings
of those who are shedding their blood and
giving their sons in the service of the
country.
Now these arrests, as ali know, have
not been confined to The State of Iowa.
but have extended over all the Northern
States, and have been made by the officers
of the General Government, under the
Marshal General at St. Louis, by his Dep
uties in Iowa.

of Illinois, shows that he has had nothing
to do with such arrests-and the same is
true of Gov. kirkwood:
