E,,e state convention.

We publish this week call for Repub-
lean State Convention, to meet at Des
Moines or the 18th day of June next, to
nomis,te State Officers for the October Elec
TIN.
Our readers will notice the terms in which
this call is couched. All 10y; men are in
vited and expected to take part in selecting
delegates this Convention, without regard to
past political association, and we are satisfi.
ed they will do it. The fate of the Repub.
lie is indissolubly connected with the Re-
publican Organization. Its dissolution or
defeat now would be fatal. Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ohio, New York and other States tried
the experiment with what result the coun-
try knows. The Republicans of Iowa ad-
hered to their party organization, but up
on so liberal and loyal basis, and with so
cordial an invitation to all who agreed with
them in essential principles, especially upon
the question of the war for the Union, that
they carried the State by an increased ma
jority notwithstanding the absence of a
great preponderance of Republican votes in
the Army. And they can and will do it
again.
1t is the boast Of the Republican Party, that
no disloyal man has been found within the
organization. Republicans carry the flag
and march to the music of the Union. They
love their country, all of it, one and indivis-
ible. The friends of the Union are their
friends, and its enemies whenever found
are their enemies.
The Republican Party was formed for the
purpose ofresisting in its incipient stages,
this very reasonable conspiracy against the
Union, now eliminated into civil war. 1t
was formed by the Union of men from all
then existing organizations, and one half at
least of its present membership were for
merly members of the Democratic party,
while many others, who may still call them
selves Democrats, alarmed and disguised at
the use which the disloyal leaders of the par
ty still called Democrats, are seeking to
make Of it, will cordially act and vote with
us.
Let us then 60 forward, inviting the CO.
operation of all good and loyal men, relying
upon the justice Of our cause, and hoping
speedily to see our country and its institu.
tons saved and restored to peace and pros.
perity, as it must and will be if we do our
duty firmly and discretely.

My Fellow Soldiers:
Debility from recent illness has prevented
and still prevents me from appearing
amongst you, as has been my custom and is
my desire. 1t is for this cause that deem
it my duty to communicate with you now
and give you the assurance that your Gen.
eral still maintains mistaken confidence in
your patriotism, devotion, and in the ulti-
mate success of our glorious cause.
am aware that influences of the most
discouraging and reasonable character, well
calculated and designed to render you dis
satisfied, have recently beer brought to
bear upon some of you by protested friends.
Newspapers, containing reasonable articles,
artfully faisifying the public sentiments of
your homes, have been circulated in your
camps. Intriguing political tricksters, dem
agogues, and time servers, whose corrupt
deeds are but faint reflex of their corrupt
hearts, seem determined to drive our people
on to anarchy and destruction. They have
hoped, by magnifying the reverses Of our
arms. basely misrepresenting the condnct,
and slandering the character of our soldiers
in the field, and boldly denouncing the acts
of the constituted authorities of the Govern
ment as unconstitutional usurpat:ons, to
produce general decentralization in the army,
and thereby reap their political reward,
weaken the cause we have espoused, and aid
those arch traitors of the South TO dismem.
Der our mighty republic and trail in the dust
the emblem Of our national unity, greatness
and glory. Let me remind you, my coun-
trymen, that we are soldiers of the federal
Union, armed for the preservation of the
federal Constitution, and the maintenance of
its laws and authority. Upon your faith
iulness and devotion, heroism and gallantry
depend its perpetuity. To US has been COM
miited this sacred inheritance. baptized in
III the blood Of our fathers. We are SOL |
diers of a government that has always bless
ed us with prosperity and happiness. 1t
