To All Loyal Men.

To unite all loyal men upon broad
and liberal platform OF pure devotion to
the Union, is the duly and policy of an
Administration which appeals, not 10 any
party, but to the whole people for sup
port. That its purpose is sustained, the
recent elections in more than twenty
States have proved the people have said
that the man who would reorganizs parti-
san rivalries, or sacrifice the unanimity
of the patriotic North, to personal ambi-
ton. is public enemy. We counsel all
Republicans, especially, to beware of in
justice to the loyal Democrats, who have
aided so much in the national triumph
We have no fear that their services are
or will be unrecognized or unrewarded.-
But We earnestly impress upon our friends
the absolute necessity Of confirming the
Union victory. Every Democrat who
has abandoned his party when it aban-
doned its principles has sacrificed some.
thing to his country. The man who hon.
estly gives uphis old political association:
leaves behind him slander, hatred, and
enmity. Let him not find distrust, oil
jealousy, or envy. The friends of the
Union cannot be enemies of each other

A Horrible Affair.

We take the following account of a
most horrible affair, from the Cleavcland
Plaindealer. Itsays:
"Three weeks ago young man named
George Beaver, about twenty years ol age,
stole $500 from his employer, a merchant
of Fon du'Lac, Wisconsin, aud decampea.
Beaver arrived in this city last week and
remained here short time, when he pro-
ceeded to Norwalk, in which place he had
a few friends. a day or two since be
called upon young lady acquaintance,
and requested a private interview which
was granted. He then told her that he
was on the point of killing himself, at the
same time producing revolver. The ID
selzed his arm and tried to get the weap-
on from him. During the struggle Beaver
exclaimed: stand aside, or my brains
will be scattered over your person = Tie
lady then did as desired, when the wretch
placed the muzzle against his forehead
and blew the top Of his head completely
off.
Upon the person of the deceased wa
found eighty cents in money and pawn
ticket for gold watch, from which he
parted while in Cincinnati not long since
In answer to telegram describing the
sad affair, Beavers parents-who are
poor people and reside at Fon du Lac
directed that his remains should be buried
at Norwalk :"

EG We pubilsha card from a number
Of the prominent ladies of the Aid Socie-
ty aud of The city. disavowng the impu-
tation that the movement for the proposed
Convention. SO far as they are concerned,
is instigated BY any hostility to Mrs. Wit
tenmyer.
If this publication should have the ef-
feet Of removing so prevalent an impres.
sion, there will be one obstacle the less
in the way of the harmonious action and
successful result Of the Convention. And
If any means can be devised to increase
the efficiently of the Sanitary operations
of the people Of our State and secure ad-
dtional benefits to the soldiers of Iowa,
none viii rejoice more heartily than We.
But we think it safer to rely on the pres
ent substantial benefits secured BY pres
ent organizations than to hazard them for
the sake of sentiment, or to sacrifice
them by divisions and contentious
amongst the people Of the State. Let
whatever is done at this Convention be
well done, and ia such manner as shall
commend the action to the confidence
and approval of the people at large, as
well as of the members of the Conven-
ton. And to this end let the measures
and policies adopted be clearly expressed
and easily understood; aud if changes
are made or suggested in the present
modes OF action, let them be clearly prac-
tlcable and productive of unquestionable
and substantial benefits over the present
system.
If all these things can be accomplished
by the Convention it will be we'll, other
wise it were better it never had beer
called.
