k6- The Copperheads of Hancock
county are very much enrnged because
Provost Marshal Hiatt sent q squad of
soldiers into their county, TO arrest DR.
Grass aud his traitorous accomplices.
And By way Of giving full vent 10 their
malice, they resolved in convention that
they would discontinue all trade and trait c
with keokuk
The Southern Coufederscy diseontin.
ued trade aud trafc with Keokuk many
months ago, and it is some hat surprising
that the sympathizers Of Hancock county, :,
Illinois, have delayed 80 long to follow
the example of their Southern brethren
keokuk has survived the withdrawal
of the trade and patronage of Dixie, and
we rather guess that she will survive
" non-intercouse" with the friends of
Jeff Davis in Hancock county, Illinois.

HThe Copperhead journals proclaim
to the people that although the uestion
of Peace or War is an important one, i,
sinks into insignifcance in comparison
with the liberality of the sympsthlzers OF
the North. Their heroes are not of the
kind that have sustained the flag or the
country on the battle field but those who,
like Vallandigham, have opposed the war
from the start. Their martyrs are not
among the men who have poured out
their blood in the service OF the country,
but those who, like Jones and Mshony,
have been imprisoned for treason to their
government.

Send the Traitors South,

The best stroke of policy ever adop-
ted by the Government since the war
began is the new method of dealing
with rebel sympathizcrs. Instead of
shutting them up in Fort Lafayette, to
be there converted into " blessed Dem
ocratic martyrs" as the traitor Val
landigham calls them, the Govern
ment now packs them off south to
their friends in Dixie, whom they love
so well. The effect of this treatment
is most cfficacious. No blessed mar
tyrs arc made /; the country gets rid
of sediiion breeders during the remain
der of the war, and the popular mind
is no more distracted and harassed by
these internal scoundrels. All that is
wanted to insure the certain destruc-
ton of the rebellion, is to secure unity
among the people. The hearts of the
masses are true and loyal. Weed
out the secessionists, and pack them
South under flag of truce to their
friends, and the government can then
rely on the united support of the north
ern myriads, and the war will go on
to triumphant conclusion. ..

secured for the purpose, and the COM
mittees having the whole matter in
charge are perfecting their arrange
ments. There will be table for the
scholars music by them and five
minute speeches by older persons ap.
pointed for the purpose. With good
weather a pleasant gathering is quite
sure. And that there will be gene
raj turnout of both young and old tc
see the young people made happy is ;
matter Of course.

The Iowa State Seal.

The Type Foundry of l.. John
son e. Co, Philadelphia. has issued
three different styles of the State Seal
Of Iowa. The work is beautifully ex-
ecuted, but the engraver has mistaken
the pile of pig lead for dry goods
box and the smelling furnace for a
country school house. The lead and
the furnace appear correctly in the
seal at the head Of our editorial col
umns, and it is matter of regret that
the cngraver in question should fall
into the error named. However, we
are glad the type founders are begin
ming to find out what is the State
Seal Of Iowa. For it, they have palmcd
off the old Territorial Seal, showing a
hawk with an arrow in his beak and
a bow in his talons, about long
enough.
