M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1863-11-19
Is the Constitution Over,mo wn

We commend the following argu
ments, from contemporary, to our
readers
For nearly three years million Of
Americans have been in arms against
each other. Something like q million
Of lives have been sacrificed, and at
least one-third Of the property Of the
country wasted, while nearly halt Of
The producing population ofthe North
arc turned into non-produciUg and
properly destroying soldiers. Should
the conflict cease at this moment, it
wO1ld leaYo us the most beggarly
white population on earta-Save Mat
Of the. South. What demonism, from
the deepest pits Of hell, has thus
maddened great and hitherto Chris
tian people Simply a lunatic theory
which, after thirty years "of fagitatioO,"
has broken out in this mighty leva OF
human passion, crime aud blood. II
is the theory that negroes are msH like our
JelOts, sdvt in complexion, and therefore
entitled 10 The same liberty.
Mr.. Lincoln was elected by the
North toforce this theory on the South
but by construction Of the Constitu.
tion that should work out that result,
and some day secure freedom to all" )"
Within the limits Of certain States, the
negro might be held 10 "slavery,"
but within Federal jurisdiction, or
under the Federal Constitution, there
should be "impartial freedom" and
having majority Of the States, though
perhaps scarcely third of the popu.
lar vote, the "anti-slavery" party of
the North hoped to rule, for many
years, the entire Federation, and pea.
ceably, gradually, without violence
or national disturbance, slavery"
would become extinct and freedom
universal. Or in other words, their
theory that negroes we're people like
themselves, save in color, and there.
fore entitled to the came liberty would
be carried into successful operation,
and our people, North and South, the
whole northern continent made hap
py, and American liberty placed on
foundations immovable aud everlast.
ing. n attitudes Of earnest, Jealous
and honest men, therefore, rallied Oh
these "grand principles" Of "humap
freedom" and though in the minority
in rearly all the northern States, save
Vermont and Massachusetts, they
were hopeful and enthusiastic, ftl
they held to the great, vital principles
of "human liberty" and these princi.
Piles m'lat conquer, or all that men
have suffered and diOd for, for thou
sand years, were sheer dslusions.
They had hot aud hard opposition,
but no opponents tho Democratic
party opposed theu with great bitter
nsss, but no Democrats denied the
truth Of their assumptions or quos

An Appeal from the Army....Let.
ter from Geo. SNYDER.

We invite all Democrats who profess tn
be loyal-who pretend to be patriotic, to
read the following letter from al old.
prominent and talented Iowa Democrat,
serving his country in an Illinois Regi-
ment. Before they vote the accursed Cop
perhead ticket, we ask them to read this
letter: .-- -.
FORT DoNELsoN, Tenn, Sept. 2, 1853
MIR. DUNHAM:-The election for State
and County officers in our State is soon to
take place, and my duties here preclude
the possibility ofmy taking part in that
election. This, in addition to the fact, that
| am in an Illinois Regiment, and there
fore can expect no Iowa Commissioners
along to take my vote, induces me to ask
you TO record 1t. vote an open ballot for
the whole Union State, county and town
ship ticket, headed by Col. Stone.
You know well that since you came to
Iowa, have always been considered
straight-out democrat. l am a democrat
still, for the teachings of those who taught
me my politics, was that, ''the answering
support and defence of the Government
and the Union," was the first duty of a
democrat-I adhere to that to-day-f con-
slider that my duty and shall perform it as
far as am able. -
regret to differ with old political friends
w Guy ducStioh. L regret
it now because feel compelled to classify
those who are opposed to me into two
classes; in one of those classes place those
who, rather than acknowledge, in act or
Judgment, would sell their birth-rght;
in the other place those who with the best
and most honest intentions, have followed
q false beacon-lignt until they are almost
on the breakers. I believe there is still
time for them to wear ship, and avoid
placing themselves and their children up
on record they win both ever regret.
/, can only say in conclusion, Mr.. Editor,
TO men OF all parties, come out at the cleo
ton and give a hearty and enthusiastic
support to the ticket and the men that YOU
KNOW are, and WILL REMAIN firm in the
support of the Government.

his high estate! Like the exquisite ex-
honorable, and ex-everything else that is
manly, who presided over the scowling
"mob," Dennis descends from his position
as the leader of the Butternuts, and, after
three months of unceasing labor to that
end, is at last nominated for the high office
of Sheriff of Dubuque county!
Copperhead Hampstead, having duly
proven his fealty to the crew of traitors
with whom the whole gang consort, was
nominated for reelection to the office OF
County Judge. That was all right. He
will suit exactly. He can drink as much
Butternut whisky, and get deeper into the
mire, and demonstrate that he's fool out
right and a "born villain, as easily as any
other man, "that is an old man and no
honester than he.' 'E'a ~ 3.' ~ =

nominated amid similar, scenes of more

and the candidates are all men as '.odor-
ous"of malice against their country as JEFF.
Davis. could wish. The session of this con-
vention lasted seven hours. 1t was de-
lectable specimen of genuine Copperhead-
ism. 1t only remains for the Union men
of Dubuque to defeat the ticket. ,Mahony
was beaten for Congress-now defeat him
for Sheriff. If they work the matter right
We guess they can do it. . rI. 334r

The Maine Elections.

The elections in Kentucky and Cafifor-
MIA gave us to understand very clearly
which way the tide was setting. Now we
have the returns from Maine, showing an
other glorious Union victory, with large
gains in every part of the State. The Cop
perheads have been counting upon vic
tory-or if not a victory, at at any rate
large gains in Maine. That State is large
ly engaged in commerce-owns a large
amount Of shipping. 1t was therefore pre-
sumed that Maine would vote for ''Peace.''
She has increased her Union majority
largely. The tide is setting heavy against
the Copperheads in every part Of the coun-
try, and if we in Iowa but do our duty
put forth our energies-we shall over
whelm the pestilent crew and bury their
mongrel ticket under twenty thousand
majority. But we must work. Every
friend of the country must do his duty.
We must have an overwhelming victory.
1t will break down the last hope of the re-
bellion, save the effusion of blood-restore
"peacen and the Union. Let us have a
short swift and vigorous canvass with a
victory at the end, on the second Tuesday
in October, such as will convince the rebels
fort in this direction that Iowa is always
true to the old flag. oisi,,,a tg. .... ., 81
\, G5- Another Of the Confederate" Gov
errors who assisted in inaugurating seces-
sion and rebellion, has gone by the board.
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, Gov. Shorter, of
Alabama, and now, as we hear, Governor
Harris, of Tennessee, have been consigned
to the "toinb of all the Capulets." They
each imagined that they occupied a
sort OF throne, which would be made a
stepping stone to even higher titles and
perpetual honors. They all made them
selves the chief agents of the revolt,
stepped themselves in blood and infamy,
and hoped that the evidence they gave of
unapproachable perfidy, would secure to
them the unchanging support of the peo-
pie of their several States. Perhaps. had
the rebellion succeeded better, their hopes
would have been realized. But as it has
failed so far of success, has been SO fruitful
of woes and horrors and desolations, has so
disappointed the anticipaIons Of the delu-
ded populace,i their ire is now visited,
even by those who still persist in their trea.
son on those who seduced them into the
pathway to perdition. The Confederate
election for Governor in Tennessee has re.
suited in the election of Robert l.. Caruth-
ers, formerly Wing, and opposed to Sc
cession in the beginning. And so, in Tex
as and North Carolina, and perhaps in 9TH
er States, the rebels themselves are repudi-
ating the authors of the treason, as if un-
willing to trust in men who had been gull
ty Of perjuries so enormous and Ubiquitous
as they. These facts are evidences of a re-
turning consciousness. We do not assume,
therefore, that they love us any more than
they did. We only infer that they have
concluded that those who have perjared
themselves so often, are scarcely safe re-
positories of any public trust. They
prefer those who made some effort 70 main
tain their honor and integrity. . -5e

EB~It appears to be generally credited
that very important movement is taking
place in the Department of Gen. Banks,
probably in and towards Texas. We don't
know any particulars, but it seems likely
as it is plainly necessary. Success in that
quarter will do us scarcely less service,
perhaps more than the capture of Charles

very soon. pc. ''

OUR FOREIGN RELATIoNs.-Se n o r
sumner made speech at Cooper Institute
New York, on Thursday evening last, on
Our Foretgn Relations. That it was an
able one we cannot doubt. That it was
long we know, for it appears at large in the
Daily 1T1oune OF Friday morning and oc-
cupies three pages and three columns
therein. What bis opinions are we have
not had time to learn. We merely refer to
it to say that those who desire to read what
is probably an exhaustive review of the
whole topic from the man who under
stands it better than any one besides. and
who is likely to have made it palmer than
others can, viii know where to find it. If
we should be able to make any extracts
from it-for the whole exceeds our limits
which by themselves viii give a better
view of our relations to other nations, we
shall gladly do SO. adE m'H

York, on our Foreign Relations, is, as we
supposed, able and eloquent, and replete
with valuable facts, and conclusive deduc-
tons. 1t fairly exposes the temper and
desires of the two great Naval Powers,

posely or negligently, by them in acknowl-
edglng the belligerancy of the "Confedera-
cy,' PROVES that Ocean beIIigerancy cannot
exist without the obtlity to condemn ocean
captures as sawfat prize in prize court
within the limits of the belligerant, demon
strates that the vessels carrying the traitor
tag are in fact mere pirates; and that az a
matter of fact, they are piratical expedi-
tons from England, having England also
as basis OF supply, and that England ia
responsible for all injuries they inflict
upon us. .e t5s9f Il
He also shows, and this may be consid-
cred the great point in the speech. the
moral atrocity of any attempt on the part

He shows that it will introduce ae,o DOM
err of a neso species into the family of ma
tons, and shows, by abundant authority,
that the recognition of q Power based on
the Cornerstone ofSlavery, even if actual

because not fit to be made, that the Thugs,
and the Kingdom of the Assassins, had as
good title to recognition as the traitors
