Apology for Rebellion.

The Courier has just finished publishing
a labored address of the Democratic State
Central Committee. If it means anything ii
is a justification Of the acts of the rebels.
The document assals the conduct of our Gov
eminent in the most virulent manner, and de-
nounces it as guilty of all manner of wrong,
usurpation and tyranny. If half its charges
are true the rebels are justified in their re-
bellion, and the Copperheads in the aid and
comfort which they render them. No traitor
in the South ever made so strong an appeal in
behalf of resistance to the Government as is
contained in this address of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party of Iowa.
If their friends in the South believe these
statements of the Copperheads of Iowa, they
cannot fail to regard the cause of rebellion
as just and holy one, nor can the sympa-
thizers of the North fail to be inspired by the
address with more determined opposition
to the Government. And yet the men who
put forth this infamous document appeal
to the loyal men of Iowa to support Tuttle.
Will they do it? We think not.

Poor Belle BOYD!

Not unknown to history. A spy in FEEDER.
al camps. A carrier Of mails to rebels. De.
tected in the earlier months of the war, while
in the city of Baltimore, arrested and con
fined in the Old Capitol Prison in Washing
ton, fellow prisoner with D. A. Mahoney
Not hung, not shot, as provided by the laws
ofwar for spies, she was imprisoned, and not
very long since released upon condition O.
going South no more to return. But few
days since "Poor Belle Boyd'' was captured
by scouting party, while engaged in her ole
exploits, acting the spy within our lines
She was sent once more to the Old Capito
Prison, from which we hope she will NJ
more emerge until she comes forth to receive
a condemned spy's doom. We clip the fol
lowing paragraph from the Dubuque Herald
paper that has the name of James M. Tuttl'
for Governor at its mast head
''Poor Belle Boyd is back again IN the Ole
Capitol Prison, having been lately captured
by the Federals. We suppose that she will b.
bullied and badgered by low-lived sentinels
and shoulder-strapped individuals, all out o.
excessive loyalty and patriotism"
When has the Herald been so tender owe,

toiing and fighting under southern sky
remember that they are the Low-L1vsD SEN
r1NELs to whom the Tuttle organ in Du.
buque refers? And will they still cling to oNz
who has associated his fortunes and ambi.
ton with the sympathizers with rebel spies
and traducers of themselvesp Let the 18th

aN The Vermont election occurred on
the LIST inst. The following are the officers
chosen:
Governor-John G. Smith.
Lieutenant -Governor-P Dillingham;.
State Treasurer-John P. Page.
Members of Congress-F. E. Woodbridge,
Justin S. Morrill,, and Portus Baxter.
All are Republicans. The State Senate is
without Copperhead, Butternut or Tory, and
all the towns heard from but too, have also
elected Union Representatives. The majority
in the STATE is about 10000. There was an
effort made by the few Butternuts there to
show an increased vote, as an encouragement
to their friends elsewhere, but it amounted
to nothing-not even enough to excite atten-
ton or call out any exertion on the other
side.

The Democratic Record.

On the 18th day Of February, 1862, the
Iowa State Senate was in session, and John f.
Duncombe, now Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, was member of that
body. During the proceedings of that day, a
dispatch from Chicago announcing the cap
ture of Fort Donelson by the Federal army
was received and read by the President. The
Senate Immediately adjourned, and its men,
bers, save three, left the Chamber to celebrate
the great victory. These three were John F..
Duncombe, John D. Jennings, of Dubuque,
and H. w. English, of Fremont county. On
the 18th inst. early in the morning, the Daily
State Register, containing full report of the
previous days proceedings, was laid upon the
desks. In that report was the following Ian
guage: eve would not forget one noticeable
feature. There were Senators who, when the
intelligence reached this Chamber, could not
find it in their hearts to exhibit one jubilant
expression. In fact look of bitterness fit
ted over their features, and as the President
of the Senate was announcing the glorious
news they acted pretty much as men who
were attending the funeral of their best
friendsn ~
No sooner was this paragraph penned than
John D. Jennings, whose sympathy with
treason is not disguised, rose in his place and
offered a resolution calling upon the Register
for the name CT the author of that paragraph.
Why did Mr.. Jennings exhibit so much inter-
est in the matter if he belonged to the re-
joicing party? We can give no better an
swer than that contained in the expression Of
Senator Holmes, now State Treasurer, in re-
ply to Mr.. jennings Speech wounded
bird always futters." He knew the truth of
the charge. He knew who remained in the
Senate Chamber exchanging angry gances.-
While the main body of their brother Sena-
tors, members of the House and lobby-men,
were rejoicing in victory they remained in
their seats, expressing doubts, indifference
and their want of heart to rejoice" Their
countenances were long and sorrowful. Now
John F. Duncombe, one of the three, is Sec
ond on the ticket with futile, the hero of
that victory, and should Tuttle die while in
the Executive chair, Duncombe would become
Governor.

CT The towards who stay athome to growl
at the Government and oppose its measures
for the suppression Of the rebellion, say that
negroes will not fight. The Generals in the
field are however decidedly Of the opposite
opinion. We have had evidence of this from
many quarters, and now Gen. Blunt, in his
official report of the battle of Holly Springs,
Ark, pays warm tribute to the valor of the
First Kansas colored regiment, most of the
members Of which were long slaves in
Missouri. They routed twice their number
Of Texans, leaving alive only sixty out of three
hundred of their foes, and preserved their line
unbroken throughout the fight.

w- Gearge Francis Train has recovered
from the violent attack of Copperheadism he
experienced about year ago, and is now
experiencing return of his old disorder,
Anglophobia. He has issued manifesto in
wiling Young Russia to conquer all Europe.
He shakes his fist frantically at the British
lion, and concludes his demonstration in these
words:
"Henceforth American people will recog-
nize no tie to England. They will consider
her the friend to human slavery, the accom-
plice in the attempt to assassinata free insti-
tutions, and nation that processes good
will only to betray in the day Of need. They
will remember that Russia, on the other hand,
has stood firmly by them through every trial
They will admire her for all her grand efforts
to enfranchise and elevate her own people,
and will take it as an earnest of grander
final commission to infuse fresh blood into
Western Europe, and redeem it from the de-
generacy and decrepitude which seem other
wise inevitable. Young America salutes
Young Russia. Let the heather rage"

- A Peace Democrat is one who believes
in the doctrine Of State Rights as interpreted
by the South-that is, that Southern States
have rights, while Northern States have none.
South Carolina has right to imprison citi-
zens of Massachusetts,, but Massachusetts has
no right to demonstrate. A Southern State
has right to array her citizens in arms
against the Government of the United States,
but the Northern States may not call upon her
sons to defend it. He believes in the rights
of men, but the most sacred rights-indeed,
the only one worth mentioning-is the right
to take from other men their rights. He be-
leves in maintaining the Constitution as it is
interpreted by rebels in arms to destroy it
He believes all men to be equal before the law
especially he believes the poor man to be
the equal of the rich man, the laborer to be
as good as the capitalists; yet he actively and
cordially sympathizes with those who deluge
this country in blood, because they are too
good gentlemen to submit to the election of a
rail-splitter. He believes the Democratic
party to have divine right to govern the
country, whether it has majority of votes
or not, and he is convinced that the question,
which is the Democratic" party Of the coun-
try at the present crisis, is absolutely deter
mined by the name winch Itself has assumed;
calls horse "Spry" and you can safely bet
upon him for speed. He calls it fair play to
go to an election, and refuse to abide by its
clear result. He likes the views of two-fist-
ed countryman of Rob Roy, who played cards
with some Hebrews, and lost his money; he
at once seized the ''pile," and shook his fist
at his fellow-gamblers, saying, damn me, ye
are all enemies of our Lord %
He thinks the United States have a right to
Cuba, and no right to prevent Kentucky from
being stolen from US. These several points
of belief show on what solid basis of con-
sistency and intelligence the faith of the
Peace Democrats rests.-Boston Transcript,

+ N.Y. Gen. Tuttle is indebted to Senator
Grimes probably more than to any other per-
son for the position he now occupies. Senator
Grimes used his influence to make him Brig.

use of his name by the Copperheads of the
State, to assist them in getting majority in
the Legislature for the purpose of electing
some Copperhead to the United States Senate

other Union men are asked to sanction this,

EDWARD EVERETT ON UNITY OF SENTIMENT.
Hon. Edward Everett, in recent letter to

"Nothing but union of sentiment and action

result Of your election which would weaken
the arm of the General Government, when a
decisive blow is about to be struck, would be

A Comprehend Lie Nailed,

The Copperhead- futile organs of this State,
including the infamous Dubuque Herald, have
been feasting upon some of the most bare
faced lies, in regard to Col. Stone, Union
candidate for Governor. The most common
and unblushing charge is, that Col. Stone is a
coward. That this infamous lie may be once
more refuted, we herewith publish an extract
from the official report made by General E.
A. Carr, of the part taken by his division in
the battle of Champion Hills:
"Col. w. NJ. Stone, 22d Iowa, who sue
ceeded to the command of the I'd brigade,
took his place with the extreme advance
guard, at night, during the advance upon the
enemy, exposed himself freely and exerted
himself so much that he became completely
exhausted in the afternoon, and was COM
PEELED to relinquish his command to Colonel
Samuel Merrill, Dist Iowa, for above an hour.
By his bravery and admirable management of
his brigade he reflects new honor on his noble
State"
Gen. Carr is an officer of the regular army,
and one of a numerous class who has no full
Nothing may be more certainly stated than
when volunteer officer is complimented by an
officer of the regular army, ne has fairly earned
that compliment. Unfortunately for the Cop
perhead supporters of Gen. futile and SIAN
derers of Col. Stone, and his reputation for a
coward, Gen. Carr says Col. Stone took his
place with the 'extreme advance"
himself y'-"exerted himself to exhaus-
tion," and "by his BRAVERY and ADMIRABLE
management of his brigade, reflects NEW HON.
OR on his noble State" What higher COM
pliment could an officer desire? What more
could brave and good officer do to merit it !?
Will not his enemies stop their lying? What
towards ever took the extreme advance and
exposed himself freely in battle? What
Copperheads of the Hutchins- Byington-T Todd
Thayer school ever took the advance and ex-
nosed themselves ?

AppOrtiOnment Of Credits Under
the Draft.

1t is announced that the Provost Marshal
General has found it impracticable to ap2or-
ton credits for excess of volunteers furnished
on former quotas, to towns, and has decided
to apportion the whole credit for each State
pro-rata to the districts in it.
This ruling will deprive Muscatine county
Of the benefit of her large excess of quota,
and compel her to stand on the same footing
with other counties in the State having an
equal population, without regard to the num-
Der of soldiers they have furnished. This is
unfair, but Muscatine county is not so defic-
lent in patriotism as to complain about it,
She will be found ready to do her duty at any
and all times.
