7th, 1868.
At . meeting Of the non-commissioned
officers and privsses Of company D, Sew
snth Iowa Regiment Of Infantry, lst
Sergeant J. L. Stevens was called to the
chair and j. D. Huff and g. 2. Claypoole
were appointed Secretarys.
Sergean. j. D. Hamilton stated the OBJ
ject Of the meeting, viz !: To give the
expression of the men of Co. D in regard
to the political sentiment existing at the
North, and especially in our own loved
State. relative to the present war and its
objects.
On motion of D. l.. Wilson commit
tee was appointed to draft resolutions ex-
pressive Of the sense Of the meeting.
The following gentlemen we're ap-
pointed on said committee, to-wit: J. d.
Hamilton, D. A. Morrison and VIM. H.
After due delibrrstiva the committee
reported the following resolutions:
Whereas, We see with profound re-
gret the appearance at the North, and es-
pecially 10 our own loved State Of Iowa,
parfisan spirit which sseks to coun-
tenance and support the enemy by resist
ing and frustrating the Federal Govern
msnt in it, efforts to suppress this most
damnabie rebellion. therefore,
ResolSed, That We, who have pledged
our lives and our sacred honor in the
cause of our country, do most heartily
approve of the Presidents Emancipation
Proclamation; that We consider the ac-
cursed institution of slavery the cause Of
all this blood-shed, and that We are in
favor of seeing the institution of slavery
entirely blott.d from the face of our once
happy country.
RssoiSed, That we do most heartily
despiss that portion Of the people Of the
State of Iowa claiming to be the "peace
party"
Resolred, That We deem the foe in our
front more honorable and more worthy Of
our respect than we do the cowardly
traitors of the North IT our hacks, who
by pretending to seek the couniry's good
are only trying to hasten its downfall by
embarrassing the Administration and dis
couraging the army.
| Resotued. That certain northern papers
in representing US ms being forced to vote
in favor of resolutions adopted by our
officers at meetings of this kind, are
either ignorant of the facts or are guilty
of rillfut talsehood.
| Resolved. That We do most heartily
endorse the resolutions passed by the of.
fcers of the Iowa regiments at this post
| Resolrsd, That whilst we are not in
favor OF mob law, we cannot help but
approve Of the act Of our brother soldiers
at Keokuk. Iowa, in the "cleaning out
of the .'Constitution" Office. and exclaim
in the language of the text--"Well done
thou good and faithful soldiers
Resolved, That we request the "Bur.
iiugton Hawkeye," "keokuk Gate City"
and other true and loyal papers through
out the State of Iowa. to publish the
foregoing proceedings and resolutions and
names.
Corporal Kelsey moved that the above
resolutions be signed by each member OF
the company.
On motion Of j. D. Hamilton the mem.
bers OF the company were allowed to sign

Dillon, paroled soldier belonging to the
39th Iowa infantry, was examined as =
witness. The register thus gives sum-
mary of Dillou's evidence:
"Hs testified that Chance advised him
not TO 60 back to the regiment; that if be
did 90 back be would be treated like .
dog, and would receive no pay except
worthless greenbacks. The prisoner fur
ther stated that no care was taken of the
soldiers in ths hospital; that the Doctors
got ten dollars apiece for every man that
was buried; that this was nothing but an
abolition war; that the Lincoln Govern
ment was fighting for nothing else than
to free the uiggers; that the Abolitionists,
having commenced the war, ought to
fight it out; that no soldier who knew his
duty ought u help them"

lesson from the Iowa copperhead jour-
mails.
