its duty.

The House of Representatives, on Monday,
passed the bill originally introduced by Mr..
Arnold, (being his 'National Freedom" bill

slavery in all the Territories Of the United
States, also in al the Federal dock-yards,
forts, magazines, arsenals or other Govern

contrary to your orders, and would have

abandoned the movement:

Always ready to adopt any and all means
that will further their schemes, the office-seek
ing leaders of the Democratic party have rais-
ed the cry Of conservatism, With which 70
humbug the people into voting for them and
their measures.
We wish our readers to understand what
this conservatism means. A conservative,
nowadays. is not the conservative Of days
gone by, no more than is the Democratic par
ty ofthe present day the Democratic party
of the days of Jefferson. Those who are now
rallying around what they term conserva-
tive policy are simply enemies of the govern.
ment of which President Lincoln is the
head. Men who have become so blinded by
their love Of party that, to save their organ
ization. they are nearly willing to lose their
ceuntry-men who have so long yielded to
the interest, of cotton and its producers, that
they cannot be easy out of their yoke. i
Father Mahoney. the editor ofthe Dubuque
H<ra.d ID, an out-and.out secession sheet, is q
conservative. Geo. w. Jones, who is now
travelling about the State, combining the
praiseworthy business of organizing mob to
resist the collection of the Federal tax with
the less reputable undertaking of re-organiz-
ing tho Democratic party, is conservative
John j. Jennings, State Senator from Du
buque county, who recently declared that "he
was not pleased at the rebel evacuation o.
Yorktown; that he would not have beer
pleased if the Federal army had captured thu
rebels, and that no news Of . Federal victory
did or would please him"-is = soand con
sentative man. Vallandigham, of Ohio, ant
VOORHEES,, of Indiana, are the guiding spirits
Of this conservative Democratic party, ant
we wish to ask the people Of Iowa, who hav'
twenty thousand relatives upon the fielt
fighting for their country, how they thinl
they will like the measures planned by sucl
Headers.
The reorganization Of party headed By
men who make but little secret Of their trea
son il not much to be feared, however, IS tn
honest, free thinking citizen can SEQ through
this last, miserable subterfuge of secss
sionism at glance, and will not be deceive'
by the shallow articles of set of men tina
he has repudiated time and again.
Unfortunately for the success of this pure
ly Democratic scheme, the cats ears will sticl
out, and the party that has so often deceivet
the people by platforms which were onl.
formed to entrap and mislead, will, we think
receive the just rebuke Of of an overwhelm
ing Republican majority at every election
hereafter to be held.

WGen. Geo. w. Jones, late of F. War

days. We see by the papers, that he has re-
Gently been at Keokuk, Davenport and other

head is at Dubuque, and whose purpose is to
resist the collection of Federal taxes. The
Dubuque delegation at the capital last winter
avowed their purpose of organizing party
with this purpose in view. That Gen. Jones
