POSTING THE BOOKS.
The Record of DuncOmbe, Clark
and Robinson.

Unfortunately for them, Duncombe, the
Copperhead nominee for Lieut.. Governor,
Justus Clark and M. w. Robinson, County
nominees for the Legislature and for Coun-
ty Judge, were members of the Eighth
General Assembly and cast votes upon
several important measures which came
up at the Extra Session in 1861. The Leg
islature was called together upon the
breaking out of the War, in order that
Iowa might properly respond to the Presi-
dents call for troops, and do all that was
necessary for the honor and safety of the
State. We were called upon not only for
our quota of men, but we're required to
clothe, arm and place them in the field
The war was at our very doors as it were
and prompt action was required. Under
these circumstances we may look to the
votes of the members of that Legislature
rs an index of their true sentiments and a
pledge Of what they will be likely to do
again under similar circumstances Most
assuredly no man who failed at that time,
under those circumstances, to respond to
the call Of the President and the Governor
of this State, can ever be worthy of the
trust or confidence of loyal people.
Among the first business which came
before the Legislature was House File
No. ga Bill to appropriate money to
pay expenses now or hereafter incurred by
the State in calling ont, organizing, uni
forming, subsisting and equipping the Mi
litia of the State and purchasing arms and
munitions of war for the State, and in COM
plying with the present or any future re-
QUESTIONS of the President of the United
States for volunteers from this State.''
This bill was read third time and pass
ed the Senate May 23rd by Ayes 22-Nays
8. Those voting No were Senators Bailey,
DUNCOMBE, English, johnson, Mann,
Neal, Taylor and Williams-Senate Jour-
nal, p. 40.
This bill was amended in the House and
came back to the Senate where the House
amendments were concurred in. From
first to last the eight persons above named
opposed the bill, Duncombe and Jarius
Neal leading off.
On the I'D of May Mr.. Duncombe offered
the following resolutions:
WHEREAs, At this time nearly one-third
Of the States of this Union have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of withdraw
ing their allegiance to the Federal Govern
ment and established Confederate Gov
eminent separate from the Government of
the United States, and established Com
stitution, Republican in form, and have
sent commissioners to the Federal Govern
ment to negotiate relative to the property
and rights Of the belligerant parties. And
WHEREAS, 1t is not only DESTROYS. but
indispensable to the security and welfare CT
the people of the United States, that terms
of peace be arranged between the portions
of the country now in q state of war before
the bitterness of fraternal bloodshed shall
make such arrangemeltim impossible. And

@The number Of conversions to the
abolition" doctrine, since the war began,
is perfectly astonishing and astounding
But the last one beats them all-that Of
Jefferson Davis. Mr.. Davis, if we are to
believe tie telegraph, purposes to free half
q million of slaves and make them all free
holders, upon condition of their taking up
arms and aiding in establishing the indie
pendence of the Confederacy. This meas
ure must have been one Of dire military
necessity for it saps the foundation of the
Slavery. What will North
ern Copperheads and Border State Fossils,
who have labored early and late to save
Slavery, even at the expense Of the Union
what will they say to it, Slavery is most
certainly gone. Between the Emancipa-
ton proclamation and the arming of Ne.
groes on both sides Slavery must go under.
The madness Of its friends have done what
never could and never would have been
done in any other way. The folly OF the
attempt, upon the part Of the Northern
Copperheads, to placate these rebels and
unite with them again in ruling the "Union
as it was" is growingdai more and more
apparent. There are no places for halfway
men or measures in these times. Old
things are passing away. The flesh-pots
of pro-slavery politics are gone forever
All men who have any love for Democratic
lnstitutions-who would save the life OF

Ny- Severe frosts have occurred during
the last week, extending over large por-
tons of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and per-
haps farther South, which have done much
damage to corn, tobacco etc. In this coun-
ty, in some localities corn and almost eve
ry thing else has been killed, while in 9TH
er localities no damage has been done.

EDITOR HAwK-EYE:- The uncondition
al Union men of Decatur county, have
placed In nomination the following Union
ticket, composed Of War Democrats and
Republicans:
Senator, Lieut.. c. G.. Bridges; Represen-
tative, Lieut.. j. r. Andrews; County Judge
J: G. Waldrupe; Recorder, J. c. Porter
Sheriff, Ira B. Ryan; Coroner, Elijah Craw-
Drainage Commissioners, - Chase.
Three of the above ticket are Wrr Demo-
Gratis, the balance are Conservative Repub-
licans. Taking the ticket throughout, it is
bound to win, notwithstanding the county
has formerly gone democratic by 200 ma
jority. From all parts Of the county, the
news comes in that scores of Democrats
will vote the Union ticket. UNION.

the nation and perpetuate the blessings of
liberty should rally to the support of the
President hold up his hands present an
unbroken front to the rebels and thus crush
out civil war and stop the effusion of
blood. 1t is folly to critioise measures.
The nation can only be saved and the
Union preserved through the legally cho-
sen authorities. e

URhAT MEETING AT DUBUQUE,-Wef find
IN the Dubuque Times q long account of
tne immense meeting of Union men in
mat city on Wednesday last. The assem-
oiage appears to have been as enthusiastic
as numerous. The people appear to have
come up In body from all the surround
ing country, with music and banners. and
patriotic notices and inscriptions. to give
testlmony to their love Of their country
and adherence Of the traitors conspirinp
for its destruction. Senator TrumSnll. Of
Illinois, Gov. Kirkwood and e. w. East
man, addressed the meeting in the after
noon. At night the public square was
brilliantly illuminated, and also much Of
the city, and Dunleith opposite, and the
vast crowd listened to speeches from sena-
tor Harlan, Capt. Tan, and others. The
Times thinks the meeting greatly over
Swallowed anything before seen in the
State. 1t publishes the speech of Senator
Trumbull, and will also print those of Gov,
Kirkwood and Senator Harlan, We con-
graduate the people of Dubuque on this
significant evidence of their loyalty in the
very stronghold of Butternuts. 1t will dc
good there and elsewhere.
