of such an editorial from man who has
done all in his power to hinder the gov
eminent in its efforts to prevent the es-
tablishment of the Southern Confederacy?
The word liar does not begin to include
all the neanness of which the writer of
the above is guilty.
We know and Z. II. Thayer knows
that the Republicans, to man, are OPP.
posed to division of this Union. We
know and he knows that hundreds of pre-
tended Democrats are in favor of divis.
ion. Among those who favor it we will
only namo D. A. Mahouy, Judge Grant,
and Z. II. Thayer. We don't know but
Thayer thinks that some fools that read
his paper may believe his statements,
but we believe that he will find that even
they have moro sense than the man who
tries thus to deceive them.
D.s" We take this occasion to again say
that when we speak of Copperhcads we
do not refer to nor include genuine JEFF
ferson or Jackson Democrats. The diff
ference between Copperbeads and Dem
ocrats is clearly shown in an extract
from speech of Elk Gov. Wright, which
can be found in to days paper. We hear
that DR.. Ross said, in his great speech
against the Advertiser on Saturday last,
that we had called the Democratic party
traitors and Copperheads, That was a
slight mistake, as we have repeatedly
stated that there were thousands of Dem
ocrats who were honorable and loyal
men, and all that he can say will not
change that fact. At the same time
there is nothing to prevent hiu. from
putting himself outside of the honorable
list, and we shall be none the less severe
on the Copperheads because he is one of
them.

neA-One L. II. Thayer, who writes
for that reasonable sheet, the Muscatine

sentences of which are as follows: "There

The COppcrhcad Convention.

The convention that was held at tho
Court House on Saturday last, to elect
delegates to a similar convention to be
held at Des NIoines, was very slim af
fair. There were from fifty to sixty men
present. We don't know but some may
call it a Democratic convention, but that
would be a misnomer, for it was not call.
ed by the Democratic Central Committee,
and the Democrats are not responsible
for its acts 1t was called and managed
BY the K. G. C's, and is of right termed
Copperhead convention.
After dinner several of the Knights
gathered at the Court House, but as they
had not prepared everything in their Sc
cret den, they all at once started for j.
X. Snyder's Office, where they, in secret
prepared their programme, and then ad,
journcd for an open meeting in the court
room.
We had no reporter present and know
but little Of their doings. We hear
however that they passed some very
strong resolutions against the Govern
mcnt, and against the Adrertiser and its
editor. We thank them for that To
have been praised by such a meeting
would have been worse than death. We
understand that one DR.. Ross was very
much exercised on reading the remarks
that we made last week about those who
wore secesh emblems We did not write
it to please him, but we know not why he
should be so worried about it, If he is
honest, why should he be ashamed to
have it known how aud what he does 2
He need not be afraid that we shall. pub
lish his name as a wearer of such en-
blems, for it would be waste of ink and
paper, as he is known already, and we do
not believe that he will ever be sent to
Dixie at the public expense, lie is alto
gether "too small potatoes" fer any such
notoriety as that 1t is not anything we
have said in the Adrertisr that moves
the DR.. so, but it is because his friends
in rebeldom are getting whipped, and
those in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are
being taken, tried, convicted and pun
ished as their crimes deserve, and it may
be that fearful looking for of Judgment,
troubles whatever of conscience he may
have left
We hope that their resolutions will be
published in the Courier, but should not
be at all surprised if even Thayer should
refuse to publish them. If Thayer does
refuse to publish them, We will try and
make room for them in the .IdeerttSer. if
We are furnished with a copy, in order
that our readers may see how little Of
genuine Democracy there was in the
meeting. We may have more to say of
WHO iASStlilS az uuplHti LIllit. " Z can
say now that we are happy to learn that
many Democrats are repudiatiug the
meeting and its doings. In no light can
it be viewed as a Democratic meeting.
and whatever nominations may be made
at Des Moines, the Democrats Of thi.
county cannot be considered as in any
manner bound by them. The old Dem
ocrasic organization, in this county, has
'gone up end the X. G. C.'s are en-
deavoring to substitute their reasonable
clans in its place. The true, Jefferson
Democrats are not disposed to follow any
such leaders.

In these uncertain times il is difficult to meet
with anything which really surprises us. Bot
we confess We were hardly prepared for the ex-
hbition presented in the present Congressional
canvass, either in the presentation,of the name
Of Leander Jay S. Turney, ex-Secretary Of Wash.

the sublimely impudent pre,ensions he himself
advances, why the citizens Of the erritory should
support HIM for that responsible office. "a /" ~
TIis whole political capital consists in malignant
hatred Of the Administration, because the Pres
ident Of the United States saw iit to remove him
from Office, although he accepted his commission
asSecretary on the express condition that II should
continue during the pleasure Of the said President
Of the United States. Turncy now hates the
Government because il turned him out, and he
hopes and expects, and has asserted il as his mo-
tive, to draw of enough votes from the Union
nominee to secure the election Of Geo Z. Cole to
Congress; for. by such an election, Washington

Vino BRoUGHT ON rHE WARs-A popular
theme with the enemies Of the Government is
the responsibility Of the present Administration
and TIE Republican party for the rebellion. They
have from the start charged the war upon the
election Snd government Of Lincoln, and have
so often repeated the base lie that they begin to
imagine il a truth. One Of tho most earnest Of
the advocates EVr peace, however, while peace
was yet possible, sets the country right on thi;
question. In bis speech before the Convention
which nominated him for reelection to Con-
gress, John J. Critteuden referred to tho com.
promise offered BY him in 1851. In doing so be
stated that az il had been adopted BY the South,
as twas agreed to BY the North, the rebellion
and war would have been avoided" In this ex.
preston he answers all the arguments Of the
Copperhead- Democrats that the Repnbli-
cans brought oN the war by rejecting the Crit,
tcnden Compromise Crittenden also admitted
the encroachmen,s made upon the Constitution
but they, be said, were minor evils compared
with the destruction Of the Government, and, after
tho war, could be reinedied." Il was, be de-
clarcd, "the duty Of freemen first to save the
country from the uplilted sword, and then save
the Constitution" These are the words Of 4
man who has spent ever half q century in the
service Of his country. They are, too, the words
Of patriotism. Criuenden TO the contrary, not
withstanding. the lie will still be uttered, espe
cialy during the progress Of elections.
