prayers for the tnriheranre Of his conviction.
His appeal was responded to hy one of the

footed who thus went at it,
1--WE 90 most earnestly entreat thee, O
Lord, to sanctity our penitent brother, here,
fill his heart with goodness aud grace, so
that he shall hereafter forsake his evil ways
and follow the right path. We do know
however, that it is required of him who has
appropriated worldly goods to himself unlaw
fully and dishonesty. that he shall make res

have mercy on this our eriing brother, as it
would be impossible for him to do this, and
let him off for the best he can do wthou,

There are few if any soils which are not
better plowed in the Fall than in the
Spring, for early culture. So long as the
ground continues open, keep the pillow

quickly decomposed in the Spring. The
frosts kill the weeds, and also affec, the

Gen. TlItlle Accepts.

Gen. futile accepts the nomination
of candidate for Governor at the hands
OF the Democratic State Central Com
mitiee. IN his letter of acceptance Ire
declares himself strongly in favor OF the
Union, the vigorous prosecution of the
war, and the support Of the administra-
ton in suppressing the rebellion. CT
this we certainly can find no fault and
indeed are not disposed to, but we ask
with what consistency can he entertain
these views and yet be the candidate Of
party who have in their platform not
only omitted TO give similar expressions
bnt have enunciatcd sentiments quite
the reverse. In short lie claims to be
Union man and yet consents to run on
copperhead platform and be elected
to office by copperhcads. This Is truly
an anomoly. Every true Urion man
should look with suspicion upon him.
A man is truly known by the company
he keeps, and if he consents to be tho
candidate Of copperheads, he certainly
mnst be fawning sycophant for place
unworthy the support Of all good and
honest men, or be himself largely tine
.ured with apprehension. In either
case he does not deserve the support Of
loyal men, and should be regarded with
great deal Of suspicion. Remember
voters, that if .on wish to vote for
man of undoubted loyalty, and one who
stands upon true Union platform, you
will cast your ballots for Col. Stone for
Governor of the loyal State Of Iowa.
