Thank you, Sir, for your words Of cheer.
iug encouragement. We remember with
pleasure the names of those sterling old
Democrats in your vicinity with whom we
labored years ago, and rejoice to know
that they appreciate the magnitude Of the
issues involved in the present contest The
legitimate fruit Of sectionalism which we
long ago predicted is now manifested in
the terrible scenes which have reduced
our once happy country to the very brink
Of ruin. The party in power have proven
their utter incapacity to guide the ship of
State amid the breakers into which they
have drifted her. Let us not abandon the
noble old vessel in the hour Of distress,
but rather rally with strong arm aud
willing mind to her relief, and never cease
our efforts until from commander to cabin
boy she shall have been manned BY those
who are competent for their Positions

The Sanitary Convention.

Mr.. EDIToR-I wish to correct through
your paper, mistake concerning the Con-
vention held at Des Moines.
1t was not, as all the newspapers state, a
Ladies Convention, but what might be call
ed Peoples Convention. A man presided,
and men run the machine" quite as much
as the aDCnlen,. 1t was a Convention like
other Conventions, with the exception that
the "better half of society was admitted,
not only to seat, but to speak and VOTE
Right nobly, too, did she use her privilege.
The most patriotic sentiments there spo-
ken came burning from women's lips, and
although the tide Of eloquence was often
checked by the Chair bringing down the
presidential hammer, with the cry, "parlia-
mentary rules! Order! Order!! You are
out Of ORDER" enough was said to prove her
well worthyIto sit side by side, any aohere,
with her lordly brethren. Upon every
hand the question is being asked, What do
you think of it? What was done? These
questions ought to be answered infinitely to
the public, for they form a tribunal before
whom our doings must be judged. There
were two factions. Shall we attempt to
hide the fact from the public? I say no. q
Because if we were there as their represen-
tatives, they have right to know every
thing we did. What was stated in your
mentioned in ''the CALI were discussed, is
true. Beside these, however, sharp cross
fire was kept up by the friends and enemies
| of our State Agent, Mrs. Wittenmyer. You
have doubtless heard of counting without
your host" that is exactly the way Mrs.
Wittenmyer's enemies counted, it is true
at first the tide was against her, the report
! which had been carefully circulated thro'
the State had taken effect and many. very
many came to help put down" the woman
who had been defrauding the sick soldiers,
| but every truly honest person in attendance
admitted before the close, that she was the
soldiers friend That she had suffered
| and labored for him, and that there was no
name among the daughters Of Iowa more
worthy of honor than Mrs. Wittenmyer.
But it is over. Intrigue has been defeated.
A commission has been formed in which
| all can unite, and henceforth we may look
for union and success in the sanitary fabors
of Iowa-and when the harvest Of DEATH
is ended, may many mothers say ITO Iowa
owe the life of my darling boy''-may
many soldier, as he lays upon the bed OF
suffering, thank God, that Iowa has work
ing women who deem it precious boon to
prepare the needful clothes and delicacies
for their sick and wounded brethren-and
may the Great Ruler of nations accept the
offering which Iowa brings, saying she
hath done what she could. GEoG.

! ing our Convention at Des Moines, just

The Convention met on Wednesday, the
18th inst, in the morning, according to the
call issued by Mrs. Gen. Curtis, of Keo-
kuk Mr.. Bissel, of Dubuque; Judge Bald
win, of Council Bluffs Mrs. Judge Grey,
of Des Moines, and others. 1t was held in
Callahan Hall. DR.. McGugin called the
Convention to order and nominated a
chairman pro tenn. Committees were ap-
pointed; one of five on credentials, and
tor Harlan was chosen President of the
Convention. Six ladies Vice-presidents.
Rev. Truesdale, of Davenport; Miss
Knowles, of Keokuk, and Mrs. Col. Nc
Farland, of Mt. Pleasant, Secretaries. The
subjects discussed in the Convention were
those named in the call. An organization
was formed, called the "Iowa Sanitary
Commission" designed to cooperate with
the United States Commission and the
Western Sanitary Commission. An ample
board of officers was ppointed-consist-
ing of president, vice-presidents, record
ing secretary, corresponding secretary,
treasurer, and board of control, con. pos
ed Of four gentlemen and two ladies. This
organization has travelling agent already

resolution was passed to the effect that
we petition the Legislature to pass law
creating a General State Fund for the re-
lief Of soldiers families, and to regulate
the local tax for this purpose so as to be
just.
The Board of Control, which will regu-
late the chief business of the organization,
will probably meet within ten days of the
present date, and will determine whether
depots shall be established in the State, and
will appoint agents for hospital work in
the field. Female nurses are recommend
ed, and strict account is required of
agents. Their books and vouchers are to
be open at all times to the inspection of the
other officers of the State Society and the
officers of local Societies throughout the
State.
Both the State Agencies were represented
at the Convention and reports received
from them. A Committee of five was APP
pointed to examine the books and vouch-
ers of the agents. This Committee was
procured by each agents selecting two and
the Chairman's appointing the fifth. The
Committee were composed of both ladies
and gentlemen, inasmuch as several So
cieties We're represented in part by gentle
men, and both took part in the deIibera-
tons and debates.
The full minutes of the Convention, in
pamphlet form, will soon appear, accompa-
MED by an address to the people, to be
written by a Committee of ladies whose
hearts are devoted to the sanitary work.
