on earth.
The masses of the people of all par
ties are loyal, but species of intoler.
ance prevails that is really becoming
alarming, unless they can be induced
to use more moderation in their pro-
mitigation of their peculiar views on
the questions that agitate the public
mind, most Of which are entirely out
side of the main and only question
now before the people, that is, the put
ting down Of the rebellion. All par
ties desire that to be done as speedily
and eflectually as possible the great
point to be desired is. that minor
issues and questions should be laid
aside until we again have united
country.
For the present let US all unite hearth
~ IN the support of the Government
Ii the Administration adopts measures
for the prosecution of the war that do
not coincide with our peculiar views
let US make no Fictitious opposition
to them but yield to the constituted
authority. Mr.. Lincoln is the legally
elected Executive Of this Government,
and during his Presidential term we
can have no other. The fact that we
did not vote for him renders us under
no less obligation TO support the Gov
eminent under his administration,
than if we had been his most ardent
supporters.

J. NJ. FUTILE.
Keosaqua, dug. l3, 1868.
The address Of this letter to the
people of Iowa, instead of the State
Committee of the rebel party of Iowa
by whom the nomination has beer
formally rendered to him, is a bale
subterfuge and no intelligent either
will be deceived by the trick. NJ
nomination from part of the people
has been rendered to Gen. futile foi
the office Of Governor of Iowa, except
from the rebel party. When he dares
not name a man of that party from
whom or through whom the nomination
came, it shows that he is very much
ashamed of his company, but it does
not save him from the disgrace of that
company, in the eyes of the people
Ii is very contemptuous and insulting
to the Iowa rebels, that while he de-
clares his willingness to receive their
votes for Governor, he does not wish
to he known as their candidate, bu,
they were SO badly discounted, de-
moralized and disgustcd by the Get
tysburg and Vickshurg news, thai
they are willing to get down in Tho
dust before an Iowa Brigader Gener
al and be publicly kicked by him il
the rear, if he will only consent t.
stand up before them in front. 1t is
"a mutually disgraccfnl affair, and next
October they will be ashamed of him
as he is now of them. His profes.
sions of patriotism and support Of the
war, while he stands on the rebel plat.
form, with the rebel standard in his
hand, are only so many insults to the
honesty and intelligence of the people
The only men who stand mp will
him as candidates on the State ticket
and platform. are Jealous opponents
of the war and friends of the rebellion
who oppose the giving of man or a
dollar To the Administration for the
prosecution of the war. The tickets
of his party throughout the State will
he filled with the Most malignant Cop
perhcads. His election is not expec
ted, but his name will help to cheat
voters and elect copperheads To the
local Offices and the Legislature
Thcyihave taken him as their tool and
he has consented to serve in that Ca
paeity.
