THE HAWK-EYE
Saturday, October ~.
God Bless Old Des Moines!

We called on our people the other day to
glorify Iowa and our own County. We be-
lieved they could do it. They haze done it
done it better than we supposed they
could possibly do it. They have not only
bruised the serpents. They have actually
stoned them to death. They haze glorified
themselves. God bless them for it. He
actR bless them. They have fought a good
fght-they have proven to the world that
they stand by the Union-the Republic
and mean to stand there, ALWAYS. Isn't it
an honor we may all delight to share?
EB Never were our citizens so jubilant
as they were all day yesterday. The re-
suit here at home, so much more glorious
than the most sanguine had anticipated,
backed up, as it was, by equally cheering
news from the State and from Ohio and
Pennsylvania, made the hearts of all true
patriots overrun with joy. We are much
mistaken if large portion of those who
had mistakenly supported the ticket falsely
labelled Democratic" were not also bet
ter pleased than they would have been had
the partisans Of jeff Davis been successful.
And they had reason tc be. They cempre-
bend now, at last, that the people Of Iowa
mean to stand by the Union and the old
flag to the end. They see that the hearts of
the people are undaunted by the treason Of
the South and of the Northern band of CO.
conspirators, and intend that both shall at
last be brought back to the faith and action
of true patriots and citizens. This knowl-
edge will do them all good. 1t will make
them think, and think more wisely than
they have been accustomed to. A little of
this honest communion with their own
consciences will lead them out of the path
of error, and away from association with
those whose falsehoods have deluded them
into the tolls of traitors. They will see rot
only that ''the Union mast be preserved"
but also that the sole mode Of doing it is by
sustaining the Governmentandpr prosecuting
the war. When they do see this they will
place themselves where they belong.

war anything like a partisan contest has
seemed to US out of place and has been
distasteful. We have striven to avoid it by
the most liberal course towards our oppo-

Gratis for Office, backed them for appoint
ments in the army and out of it, and
known no distinction between them and
original Republicans. The Administra-
ton has displayed a iberality in this re-
gard unknown heretofore in this country.
Loyal Democrats have been honored and
trusted-have found their way into Mr..
Lincoln's Cabinet-have, in short, been
placed upon an equality, at least, with the
men who elected Mr.. Lincoln.
How has this iberality been met? By
the most bitter and unrelenting opposition.
By the most malignant warfare ever waged
upon any President of the United States in
peace or war. 1t has been so waged as to
weaken the Governmental weaken the
Army-to discourage our soldiers-to pre-
vent recruiting. 1t has gladdened the
hearts Of the rebels. 1t has strengthened
the arms of those who were striking at the
heart Of the nation. 1t has rejoiced the
hearts of all the enemies of the Great Re-
public in Europe and throughout the
world.
We charged the leaders Of this opposition
party, before the election, with being ma
ignant..traitors, enemies of their country,
enemies Of Democratic Institutions and
friendslof the Rebellion. We now assert
that the charge is borne out by the facts,
and backed by the people. We haye the
authority of the people for branding them
as such. Infamous" has been written all
over them in legible characters such as can
never be mistaken. The mark has been
set upon them, and he that runs may read. |
Enemies of their country and of the hui

been stricken by the lightning of popular
execration. From henceforward and for
ever the unmoving finger of scorn will be
pointed at them.

@The news from Ohio assures us that

He has been tried in the scales and found
