The Tipton advertiser. [volume] (Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa) 1856-1962, 1863-09-03

The speakers at the "peace meeting
% Thursday last, reiterated the st~Ie
fslscnood that, "the Democrats all up
"hcld the Administration uutil the
President issued his emancipation pro.
clama,on" Such speakers give their
hearers but little credit for intclli @ence.
There was not one person that heard the
statement that did not know that it was
a downright falschood, in other, palmer
words, a notorious lie.
Who does not know that Nallandi ham
aud other Democrats, whom these ieoce
men delight to honor, glory in the fact
that they "ncvcr voted man or dollar'
for the suppression of the rebellion p
Coming nearer home: who docs not know
that Mahony, Byiugton, Mason, Dun,
combe and their associates, have always
opposed {" coercion - Aud how is it
when we come still nearer home and look
among the peace men Of Cedar county
Who will lock an honest man in the face
and say that VIM, T. Edgar, Is +. Pawl
ing, Chas SHETLAND, W. Waite, VIM. NJ.
Kuott, j. E. i. Carey, JOS Downing,
NJ Linn, Abner Piatt, or either of the
Bankers, E. I. Whitcomb, E. L. Ed
wards, or Prior Scott, ever favored SEQ.
crcion, or the prosecution Of the war
after 1t was commenced by the capture
Of Fort Sumter! No man can do it, for
it is uotrious that they have opposed cv.
cry measure of the Administration look
fng to tho suppression Of the rebellion.
We might name, with the above, many
other citizens of this county, but the
y above occurring to us now are sufficient,
for they arc among the leading spirits of
tho "pcace party" We hope 4. Il.
Morton and \. Wentz, the well known
expoundcrs Of the Cor stitu,iou, will not
be offended because we didn't put their
names in the bove list All the mcm-
oers Of the X e. C.'s will know that it
was an oversight on our part.
Some one may say that ave have not
named Col. q Swincford" No we did
not name him, for we wanted to name
only those about whom there could be 40
dispute. AS 20 the Col. (') there was
time when he pretended to favor the
prosecution OF the war, when he was
very anxious to get Republicans to VOL
untccr but when it became evident that
he could not be appointed Colonel by the
Governor or elected to office by tie Tn
lou men Of the county, he threw off his
hypocrltlcal cloak of Unionism and has
for months been the chief orator of the X
q. Cs. We never had any confaenc,
IN his Unlonisin, for there never vas an,
reason for such confidence You ca,
now, and SO it has been for months, Sc
him almost daily, around the street cor
ners classifying the history Of the last f,,
years, that he may make few ''wotcs,
hoping in his dreaming hours, for he ha
no such hopes when fully awake, that h
may be chosen to represent the loyalt
aud morality Of ''O!d Cedar" in tn
State Senate. Even if the Col succeed
in deceiving himself with the cxpectu
tion of being elected, it by DO mean
follows that he can hoodwiuk the intelli
gent voters of the county to crafty hi
vaulting ambition.
Take the rest of the perce ticket i
this county-wc speak only Of those VIII
arc at al! known over the couuty-an
what are they: JOSEPH Downing an
Moses Liun, for Representatives Il
+. Powlin,' for County Judge; +. /
Whitcomb for Treasurer and Recorder
