Fernandy Can't Come!

Fernandy Cant Come!
The crafty scoundrel and Internal traitor,
Wood, writes to that other traitor,
George w. Jones, that he cannot come to
Iowa to fill his appointments, and the let
ter is printed in the JEFF. Davis organ, the
Dubuque Herald, which expresses itself
sorely grieved at this severe disappoint-
ment to the Iowa sneaks. We condole with
the pestilent crew. We feel bad on their
account, and on our own. We are sorry
that any thing should turn up to deter
Iowa traitors from showing their hands
fully.
~ If we have any readers who call
Democrats, and who mean to
term, we now appeal to them in the name
of Democracy, in the name of Liberty, in
the name of Justice and Humanity, to cut
loose from the Copperhead party and
stand henceforward where they belong, in
the ranks of those who support the Gov
eminent and the Union. Cast aside pref
udice and personal feeling. Listen no
longer to the falsehoods of Demagogues
and the malice of rebel sympatizers.-
"When this cruel war is DER" we will
argue side issues with you and agree or
disagree as the case may be, and as we
have done in times past. In this hour of
peril, and sacrifice, and suffering all true
men should stand together. Allloyal peo-
pie should so vote and act as to give their
moral influence and support to the Gov
eminent and in..opposition to the:rebellion.
Come with us and you will not only never
regret it, but you will be better and feel
better and bless the day as long as you
live and your children after you. You
cannot afford to oppose this war. The
flimsy reasons put forth by artful dema-
gogues will not stand the test Of time or
reason, and you know it. You never will
be able to shield yourself under such a
miserable refuge of lies. Again we say
come with us, and if common sacrifices
and sufferings in glorious cause do not
make us think alike, when this wicked
war is done and the rebellion put down,
and the old flag, battle-torn, but still
place, is triumphant over all enemies, then
we can safely, if we wish, put off the char
acter of the citizen and put on that of the
partizan, without giving aid to an enemy
or endangering the existence of the Re-
public.
~- The skies were never SO bright and
the Rebellion apparently SO near crushed
out since this Internal war began, as now.
The rebels have not to exceed 1901 900 fight
ing men in all their armies. The States in
rebellion have been cut in two, once by the
opening of the Mississippi River, and are
now nearly so in another direction by the
occupation Of Chattanooga and East Ten
nessee. If Rosecrans and Burnside can
hold their present positions, and with the
sent to them they certainly
can, the Rebellion must go down, and that
speedily. The most rigid CONSUMPTION
cannot increase the rebel army to any ex-
tent. With no resources, no credit, no SUBJ
sistence except such as is forced from the
people of the insurreCtionary States, al
ready ruined by the war, Jefferson Davis,
crafty, fruitful in resources, with all his
abilities as an Executive, is emphatical1y
played out, and his so-called Confederacy
at deaths door. We at home have but to
show the Rebels that they need look for no
sympathy from us. We have only to sat-
isfy them that we heartily cooperate with
the army-that when our sons and broth
ers fall, we will go ourselves or send other
sons and brother to fight the battles of the
country, and will fight these battles at
whatever cost until the Rebellion is put
down;-we have but to do this-to stand
united as one man, shoulder to shoulder to
preserve the Government, restore "peace,"
permanent. lasting peace and that speedi-
ly. This is the only road to ''peace," and
it is short, plain and certain.
EE- A suit has been brought against the
owner of a dwelling house in Chicago for
causing the death Of his tenant and his
child, of the small pox. 1t seems that sew
eral persons had died in the house of this
disease, and the landlord again rented the
house to this tenant without attempting to
disinfect it, and without giving the incom-
ing tenant any information of the fact
The result was that in a week or two the
tenant and child sickened of the disease
and both died. The suit is brought by the
widow Administrative of the unfortunate
victim Of landlords cupidity or negli-
gence. He ought to be made to suffer.
whatever the law may do in the case.
-O
Ds- The largest meeting ever held An
Ohio, assembled at Carthage, seven miles
from Cincinnati, on last Saturday. 1t was
intensely enthusiastic and jubilant, as the
people there have rightto be. Butternuts
in that region are understood, and the Car
thage meeting of patriots, who mean to
stand by the Union to the end, was not
calculated to encourage Vallandigham's
deluded or reasonable supporters. Gov,
Yates, OF Illinois, was among the speakers.
1t was doubtless glorious scene, and an
emphatic announcement of what the peoDle
will do at the polls next Tuesday. The
man who "waits and watches over the
border''-how long will he swat and
