ballot box. They are pretty sure to vote, and,
as Thayer suggested, to vote "cfsen." 1t would
be little singular if they had lost their ekl in
this particular BY the mere act Of volunteering.
There is not bit Of use in persisting in these
falsehoods. The simple truth is that the voluu-
teers didn't like the Mahony ticket, and they
voted what they thought better one. That's

T"As the rebellion came of abolitionism,
so is aboltionism the aliment upon which the
rebellion survives" So sagely talks the Chi
csgo Times. The rebellion commenced under
the administration of Buchanan. He was not
an abolitionist. At that time there was ma
jority of pro-slavery men in the Senate. There
would be to-day, also, if the South had continr
ued to be represented. If Mr.. Lincoln we're an
abolitionst, be could have done nothing to affect
the peculiar institution Of the South, withou,
the concurrence of Southern Senators. How
base falsehood it u.s. then, to assert that rebel.
lion came of abolitionism.
The rebellion came of the determination of
slave owners to rule the country, or, If they
could not rule the whole, to sever it, and t
public, and their resolve to establish govern
ment in which the mass of the people should
have no part. They despise democracy, they
love power. They reject all idea of union with
US. Separation is their ultimatum. They re-
belled, not because they had been injured, but
because they we're not permitted entirely to sub
vert the nature of our government. There
would have been no rebellion had they been al
lowed to lord it over the North as they have
ruled over the South. There can be no peace,
until they are taught that America cannot be
made den Of SLAVES. il .
LETTER OF RoBERr DALE OwEs-The letter
Of this we'll known and life long Democrat which
We give our readers this morning will well repay
An attentive and candid perusal. It was address
ed to the President prior to the issue Of his
proclamation of the 22d of September. The
correctness and thoroughness of its statements
and its reasoning, cannot be surpassed, and we
think must convince all who have ever doubted,
that the proclamation was not merely necessity
but the only means BY which any advance could
be made towards the subjugation of Southern
traitors. Let every one read the letter.

eB The Dubuque Herald is greatly outraged
because 1915 sick, wounded and paroled soldiers,
at Jefferson Barracks, we're permitted to vote.
1t says every one of these votes are illegal
that the law under which they exercised the
right of Iowa citizens is itself fraudulent and
demonstrations" with much more of the same
sort of trash.
All ofthis shows the falsity of the professions
Of regard for the volunteers, of which the Herald
and the rest Of the hahony Press in Iowa we're
SO profuse before the election. Their honesty
and sincerity 10 other matters may be inferred
from their conduct in this. Sick and wounded
soldiers ought not to vote, according to the
Herald! Those who 80 CALAMITY stood by the
flag at Iuka, and Corintb, who have immorta
lized the courage and daring of Iowa voun-
teers,-who have bled, and many of whom are
about to die, for their Country, are not fit to
vote, while the brawling towards and traitors
who follow the lead of the Herald, are most ex.
cellent fellows and are not only fit to vote, but
to vote as often as they can! That is the
Herald's logic and patriotism! The Herald will
probably learn what the soldiers think oft, one
OF these days, even more emphatically than at
the recent election. .sf.
BA correspondent of the Chicago journal
asserts that the recent outbreak among the In.
dams in Minnesota, was occasioned BY the
frauds of the Indian Agents in that locality. II
so, we trust the matter will be probed to the
bottom. If there be any scoundrels there who,
for the sake of specializing in gold, or byany 10Th
er corrupt and unlawful conduct, have incensed
the Indians and brought on the late barbarities
in that region, they deserve hanging as thor
oughly as the murderers themselves, and We
trust they will get what they so richly deserve,
and that as speedily as their guilt can be made
certain. It is time that Indian agents were
made to do their duty honestly and thoroughly.
Complaint against them has hitherto been al
most universal. A great deal of it We believe is
we'll founded. We have no liking for the fred
skins;" but their relentless barbarity should
never have any apology of bad faith on the part
Of our government to instigate it into activity
against the innocent people on the border
They should be made to keep the peace, and
the agents Of the government should also be
made to treat them with unalterable good faith
