Arkansas Papers.

We are under obligations to some
unknown friend for several copies Of
the Arkansas State Gazette. published
at Little Rock. Among these papers
is copy of. the Ouachita, Arkansas,
Herald, Of July, 1861, in which there
is great rejoicing over rebel victories
at Springfield and Carthage, Mo. The
writer says:
ave may expect TO hear in few
days that Lincoln has lost his footho!d
in Missouri, and that the State has
cast off the calling yoke of abolition,
ism. 1t will also inspire new conf
dence in the breasts Of the down-trod-
den people Of Maryland, and they too
will make an effort to free themselves
from the poisonous embraces of the
serpent Lincoln"
How oddly such reading must seem
even to the rebels after the lapse oil
two years I! 1t may be that the pros
pect now of being freed from the
poisonous embraces of the serpent
Davis is as gratifying to the Arkan
sas people as the other prospect was
two years ago.

of the struggle, every patriot can and
will cheerfully bear it, in view of the
sacred interests involved.
Senator Grimes then made thor
ough analysis Of the platform adopted
by the Democratic Convention on the
9Th Of July, showing how deliberate.
ly it was intended to obstruct and de-
feat the great measures enacted by
Congress to crush the Rebellion, and
resstablish peace on a durable founda.
ton. He then canvasscd the merits
of the several candidates on the State
ticket, showing that the election OF
the Democratic nominees would be re-
garded as equivalent to rebel victo-
~ in the field, and appealing to the
Union men of the State to stand by
the cansc at home as our brave kin
dred arc standing by it abroad. The
appeal was most eloquent and eff.
fective one, and was warmly respond.
ed to by the immense assemblagc to
whom it was delivered.

No Draft in Iowa.

The Iowa City Republican Of the 23d.
states that according to a late exhibit
from the War Department. Iowa has
furnished troops in excess of all calls
made upon her. of 1927, and since tho
date Of that exhibit. the number of Gu
listments will swell the surplus Il
about 5000. Hence the Republican
thinks there will be no draft in Iowa
under the present order Of the Wa.
Department for draft. Iowa 10 ahead
OF the orders made up to the present
date, and the patriotism and pride OF
her people will doubtless keep her
ahead Of all future orders Of the Gov
crnmeD. for any draft. 2A|

Early in the morning of Thursday the
people of the whole surrounding coun-

nual gathering. Not less than three
thousand people were in town during
the day. w
Of articles on exhibition we can
not speak particularly. The Vegeta'

that of the late State Fair at Dubuque

squashes, weighing in the aggregate
four hundred and forty-fve pounds, all

w. French, Esq, of this place.
r. w. Humphrey, of this town, and
A. Garner, of Mason City, had on ex-
hibiticn large variety of apples and
other fruit, proving conclusively that
apples as we'll as other fruit can be

A fine assortment of agricultural i'm
plements, wagons, &C., were on exhi-
bition. Of stock there was also n
good display. The Household Manu-

Speech of Hon. c. Ben Darwin.

In the evening OF Thursday our
spacious Court House Hall was early
filed to listen to speech from Hon
G. Ben Darwin, of Burlington.
Of the eloquent speech of Mr.. OAR
win, we are only able to give brief
outline
He commenced by speaking Of am
bilious men at the South who were
clamoring for more power and who,
fearing that their power was lost in
the National Government sought to
rend the nation that they might there
by have free scope for the attainment
Of their coveted object.
He compared Democracy to a
mighty tree, whose roots descended
deep into the earth and whose BRAN
ches extended far and wide. The re.
peal of the Missouri Compromise sent
a bowling blast through this Demo
cratic tree shaking off the fruit near
est the sun. Then came the Kansas
difficulties and the bred Scott decis-
ion, each of which shook off more of
the best and noblcst fruit. A renew
al of the Slave trade was attempted
and in many instances successfully
carried on. At Agricultural Fairs,
such as the one here to day, large pre-.
miums were offered in the South for
the most likely negro lately imported
from Africa By this still more fruit
was shaken off.
The commencement Of the war dates
at the Charleston Convention, and
Northern Democrats are responsible
for it, for this reason ; they had too
much manhood, too high u sense Of
right, too much honor about them to
submit to the demands of the South.
Then the South renewed the threats
of Secession which they had used for
twelve or fifteen years, and then the
great rebellion actually commenced.
Those who still cling to the Demo
cratic party, although none Of the
old issues of the party are before the
people, reminded him Of the man who,
when he was married, purchased a
pair Of silk stockings, which upon be-
coming worn were mended with cot.
ton still the man would say to HE
wife. Ny dear, please bring me my
silk stockings Mr.. Darwin gave
q glowing picture Of Slavery, contras.
ting it with freedom. and saying that
those engaged in the rebellion are
fighting for the overthrow of the one
aud the perpetuity Of the other.
He was proud of being citizen of
Iowa, but be was proudcr still of be-
ing an American citizen. He spoke
Of an incident which occurred during
his travels in Switzerland, about one
year ago. lie was asked by a wealthy
gentleman, where he was from, and
on ascertaiuing that he was from
America, tho gentleman spoke in sym
patty for the Union in its struggle
for life. Conducting him to a costly
temple in his garden, he showed him
a beautiful statue of Washington, in
whose memory the temple was cree,
| ted and the statue placed within.
This was but a single incident. Every
where he met with assurances of the
sympathy of the masses with this
Government.
This great struggle is contest be-
tween Right and Wrong between
Slavery and Freedom and. if the re-
bellion is successful, we arc lost !;
our proud Temple of Liberty will be
transferred into Coliseum Of Sla-
very. This we must not allow. We
must continue TO fight. Thrash the
rebels well and we shall gain their
respect and their love.

Union Men Should Work.

Only twelve days now remain pre-
vious to the election, and Iowa expects
every man to do his duty. The 18th
of October is the day on which Iowa
is to determine whether she viii array
herself for or against the Union !;
whether she will give support to the
armies in the field or invite the rebels
to take possession of the Government
and the country; whether the war
shall end after few moro months of
hostilities or be indefinitely prolonged
by new rebellion.

the election of their Janus-faced cam

that object and it is the duty of all
