/ Democrat with you! III SO, then Democ-
racy in Iowa is not Democracy in Illinois.
When here he was considered an Adolf
ZIONIST of the deepest dye-his whole time
was spent in looking after the welfare and
| comfort of the dear negro and playing
the little petty tyrant over the whites.
FUTILE A vIoLAToR OF LAW.
The civil laws of our State, and police
regulations of our city, we're wholly dis
regarded and trsmpled under his feet
while he was in command at this post
On one occasion IN Abolitionist pc. was
arrested for selling liquors without license,
in violation Of an ordinance of the CITY
He admitted that he was guilty, but in
sisted that the civil was subordinate to
military law, and thereupon appealed to
/ Gen. 7 who being of the same opinion,
| at once ordered the defendant to be dis
charged, and at the same time informed
the officers of the city that any further ef-
forts on their part to enforce the afore
said ordinance. would entitle them to a
situation in the guardhouse.
FUTILE DKspor.
On another occasion writ of Rsplev-
in was sued out of the Circuit Court of
this county, and was about being levied,
when he. Without assigning any reason
whatever, peremptorily forbid the levy,
aud ordered the Sheriff to return the writ,
not executed, "by order, Of Brig. Gen,
Tutle"
. FUTILE HAS NO ABILITY.
} This is Democracy with vengeance,
isn't i,Y May God save the country from
such Democracy! But admitting there
was no question as to his political sound
: ness, surely Iowa must be hard up for
material II she cannot furnish man OF
more ability than he has. Why, sir, while
he was nominalIy the commander of this
post it was a matter of general remark
that he was the mere tool of the Provost
of Captain, and whose reputation was
that Of a scoundrel, and who made for
tune here by robbing the people, but in
intellect was nothing more than a com.

THE PROOF CAN Re FURNISHED.
Let him who doubts the statement |

FUTILE CoUHTENANcKs TIE IMPRISONMENT
OF DEMOCRATS.
Z. S. By the way it was under Gen
Tuttle's administration that Judge Duff,
myself and many others from this part of
the State, were sent To the Ole Capitol
Prison, for daring to express Democratic
sentiments.
: Yes. and if Gen. Tu,tle could have
had his way, he would have kept all such
traitorous scoundrels in prison until the
war was over. But as be couldn't it af-
fords him and us infinite satisfaction to
know that the trailorous Copperhsad ras-
calls are now forced by party drill, in the
depth of their humiliation, to vote for
Gen Tuttle
Here is another grosn from Mahony in
the Herald of the 9th:
The Des Moines Register intimates, if
1t does not broadly assert, that Gen Tut.
made speech to his command on the
occasion of visit of Adjutant General
Thomas to it not many weeks since, in
which the General, futile we mean, ad
vocated the armipg of negroes to aid in
prosecuting the war against the South
We will not believe this on the authority
of the Register, and we therefore inquire
of some Of Gea- Tattle.s fHieads whether
II be true or not, And while putting
this question we shall ask another Did
Gen. futile or not send fugitive slaves
up from Cairo to Chicago and other pla-
ces IN Illinois, notwithstanding the laws
of Illinois, leaving out Of view the Con
sutution OF the United States no longer
in force) to the contrary?
OF course Gen. Tuttle advocated the
arming of negroes, and still advocates i,
for all We know; and no editor can be
ignorant of his efforts to supply the peo-
pie of Chicago and other points with con-
trabands. And, you better believe, it de-
lights us hugely to see that the poison.
Gus Copperhead, crawling lovingly around
: the feet of Gen. Tuttle after having hiss.
ed at and struck their sangs into other
Generals for doing the same thing,
has secured Gen. Tuttles nomination.
But let US turn from the northeast To
the southwest corner of the State and con.
template the writings of that old Dada Of
CoPperheads. L, W. Babbitt, of the Coun.
cil Bluffs Bugle. Before the nomination
. Rabbit dila,ed against the project of ma.
king futile the Democratic candidate. and
said. among other things:
The fact is, and it is high time the epo.
