feat in Iowa is "not so bad after all" DE ad'

" on the home vote " will be from three to five

hand at figures" but we suppose somebody has
sstisfed him that the Mahony ticket has gone to
the dogs. When he gets the full returns pro.
badly he will discover that five thousand is but
a fraction of the Republican majority. Mean

mild a. doves when talking Of tour Southern
brethren" and are trying to make themselves
and the people believe that all that is needed to
restore peace and the Union at the same time,
is Democratic victory-we hope all such will
embrace an early opportunity of conversing with
our returned Iowa officers, who have spent elk
months in Dixie IS prisoners Of war. Ask them
whether the rebels are likely to be satisfied with
anything short of q dissolution of the Union and
the acknowledgment of the Southern Confedera.

long ago, that the national unity can only be
maintained by force of arms. That We must Ell.
Their crush out rebellion and restore the Union,
or agree upon division and make treaties with
the rebels. They will learn that the Union has
no friends in the cotton States save only the
slaves, and that nothing we can do will make
the ignorant, barbarous and depraved secesh any
madden, and that any offers Of Cancellation and
compromise, will be regarded as evidence Of
weakness and cowardice on our part.

 MT. Camp authorizes me to admit that he did not vote for T. NJ. Clarke and Wm c. Coe when nominated, but states that he did not vote foI democrats on the occasions referred to {; beyond that, my inuestigations I'll satisfy me that Mir Camps course as .

CLARKE, In view of the above elegant extracts from thi charming and consistent editor, it is not surpris | ng that the Winsted people are entirely unani nous in the expression of their opinion regarding the course of T.

It may throw som, light upon the last extract we have given, te ga, that it was extorted primarily by threatened exposure in these columns of the entire and ute falsity ofthe charges in the first paragraphs, and secondarily, perhaps, by rumor more pointsdl, affecting the versatile editors pecuniary resour ces, in the fear of which fal6llmsnt he is stil shaking piteously in his shoes. Whether the above will end the matter, tn
 community whom he has so basely betrayed an, maligned only will say.

 Lastly we do not regard, and the more earn est Republicans in Mr. Camps immediate vici- nity do not regard Mir. Camp as . fervsnt, and sincere, and determined supporter of the present war against the rebellion. The conversation and influence of the Camp establishment has net been in this direction. In proof of this, we will refer to James R. Alvord, D. B. Wheelock, s. W. Cos, and sherman T. Cooke We preferred rebellion and fearless supporter of the war, should act in our Republican counssls, rather than that they should be weakened by the pre-. l sence of two timid, and trembling, and com promising men. Out-and-out democrats are not half so dangerous to Republican principles of prstendsd, but treaeherous and timid friends.
 
 It is urged, with some show of reason, that I, having moved Mir. Camps unanimous nomina- tion, am doubly bound ts abide it. But be it remembered, that a large majority of the facts here reprssented-the great and important fact that he had repeatedly tempered with democrats to defeat Republican nominations. was not then clearly brought home to mo. l knew Moses Camp had voted against me, and l would have supported him most cordially notwithstanding.
