.MEANNEss. the time of the great cop
perhead meeting held here in the fore part of
January, there was strong talk of starting a
paper to advocate their peculiar views. The
editor of the Muscatine Courier attended that
meeting. and seeing chance to help himself
little, discouraged the project and urged his
confederates to take the Courier, promising
to devote at least one column each week to
the local interests of the K G. C.'s in this
county. Many subscribers were obtained,
but 1hayer forgot his promise, and when the
resolutions passed by the K G. C.'s on the
I'd inst were sent to him he refused to pub
lish all of them as, he said, they were of a
local character. One Of the resolutions re-
jected by Thayer was of great importance to
the K. G. C.'s Of this county, as it, advised
them not to support the Advertiser, and to
hold it and its editor responsible for all dam
age that might result from its teachings. The
dear things won't know what to do now, as
they won't believe what we say about 1t, and
Thayer refused to publish the resolut ons.-
Another unpublished resolution was one Of
fered by the "Old War Horse" which thank
ed H. G. Dean for advising his hearers to obey
the laws. Somehow that doctrine don't suit
the Courier man. IF E. H. T. is not care
iful his followers here will lose confidence in
and dhonesty.- Upton Adver-,

Timely Words.

These words, from the Albany Erening
Journal, are "worthy of all acceptation:"
"What does our country demand of US
now? How can we best serve it in this hour
of darkness and peril? Shall it be by sus-
tanning or opposing the war? Shall it be by
Strengthening or weakening the hands of
those in authority Shall it be by insisting
that the conflict shall 60 on or by clamoring
for dishonorable peace? Shall it be by raj
lying around the Union or by deserting its
standard? Shall it be by yielding the Ad-
ministration a generous support or by de-
nouncing the President and his Cabinet and
Generals as "roguesr' and imbeciles -
These are the questions that come home to
the business and bosoms of our people,
and that must be promptly and definitely an
swered.
"Do you say the war has been badly man.
aged? But does that afford an excuse for
turning your back on your country? Do you
claim that attempts have been made to per-
vert its objects But does that make your
obligation to stand by the flag any the less
Do you grumble because the old ship has had
an inefficient commander? But does that
justify you in deserting your post before the
mast, and leaving her to the mercy of the
waves?
'There is but one course for patriots to
take: To stand by the country; to sustain
those who administer the affairs of the Gov
ernment; to forget personal and party differ
ences and 10 insist that the war for the
Union shall go on

The Dubuque Herald, edited by d. A.
Mahony, who is regarded by E. Il. Thayer,
as the model editor Of Iowa." of the 14th
inst. in an article headed, "Are the authori-
ties mad?" utters the following revolution
ary sentiments:
You had best not tempt the people too
much, Mr.. Lincoln, for whatever Mr.. Vallan-
digham soas-whether factious or fOolish-he
suffers nop for them. 1t was to them he
spoke, for them he spoke, and nos0 his cause
is theirs. 1t cannot be that they will see
him sent to that worse than desert, the Tor
tugas. Have Bunker Hill and Lexington,
Concord and Bennington no memories! Have
Washington and Jefferson, Jackson and W Web-
ster left us nothing for our guidance We
say to Americans, AROUSE! If this thing
be done-we trust and pray that it will not
be done-but if this thing be done, we say,
the brink of the precipice is reached. 10 re-
cede another step is to 60 tumbling down the
horrid abyss-life only can be saved by strug-
gle. When Mr.. Vallandigham, in pursuance
Of this sentence, is moved away from the
State of Ohio, that moment but two alterna-
tives are presented to the American people
assent and COUGHING subserviency, slavery;
or liberty at the hazard of our tireS. For
THE SAKE OF FREEDOM WE IMPLoRE THE PEo-
PIE TO AROUSE.
American patriots, what think you OF that
freedom of speech that permits the utterance
of such atrocious advice?
If the officers of the government dare exc
cute the sentence of its courts, upon the trait
orous Vallandigham, that moment but two
alternatives are presented to the American
people" slavery, or liberty at the hazard Of
our lives" That is to say, you will never be
so craven as to be subjected to slavery, and
to preserve your liberty from the expressions
of this administration, you must hazard your
lives in an armed revolution. Such are the
sentiments of the leading organ of the Demo-
cratic party of Iowa. Democrats, would you
be regarded as the friends of the Union, you
must repudiate the priests who minister at
your affairs. We judge Democracy from the
utterances and conduct of its exponents. So
long as you endorse the treason of your Or
gans, do not complain of us, when we de-
nounce your party as disloyal to the govern
ment of the United States.
But the Herald is no worse than the Cour-
ier, which has uttered the same counsel and
advice during the present week. Would that
their editors were standing on the brink of a
precipice, to be plunged into the abyss with
a Federal bayonet. We should regard such
a fate as deserved punishment, provided the
precipice was high enough.

TIE PRoF1rs OF PRIZE CAPTURES.
following awards made by the District Court
of Philadelphia by final decree of distribu-
ton in the case of the steamer Ladora, cap
tured by the q. s. gun-boat Unadilla, show
that the capture of blockade runners is a
profitable business to our navy:
The amount to be distributed among the
officers, seamen, &C., as ascertained by the
Navy Department, is $115,915 "A, the en-
listed men getting the following liberal shares:
Yeomen, $880.l2; master alarms, boat
swain's mates, gunners' mates. carpenters
mates, and surgeons steward, $9l6.76 each !;
quartermasters. coxswains, captains of the
forecastle, and ships cook, $8s0.12 each !;
captain of the after-guard, captain Of the hold,
sailnaker's mate, quarter gunner, officers
steward and efficers' cooks, $733.A each !;
first class firemen $1,1O0.12 each second

I0S each : coal beavers, 5000 each; refuge
pilot, 81, ,100.l6 contrabands, $29339 each.
This is only one case. Large amounts Of
prize money are being distributed, and one
would suppose that this Indictment alone
would be sufficient to fill up. the navy with

Who is Responsible for its Disturb.
ance? -r-

Garrison, Phillips, Smith & Co. have thun-
dered their anathemas at slavery, but never
disturbed its existence by the movement of a
muscle, to effect by force its extinction from
our land. When the South took up arms to
overthrow and set at defiance the Constitution
that protected their peculiar institution, they
became an organized and armed band of abo-
litionists. They threw down the banner of
the only instrument in the way Of a success
full interference with their system of slavery,
and thereby became their own destroyers.-
And every man in the North, who, by word
or deed, has encouraged the South in the
prosecution of its rebellion has aided the work
of abolition. The Republican party did and
does admit that Slavery, existing by virtue of
State enactment, is protected by the Federal
Constitution But when that Constitution is
openly defed, and violently trampled upon,
there is no protection afforded to that sys-
tenn, but as purely State or Territorial in
stitution, it must yield to the national good.
That this rebellion might have been suppress
ed long ago, preserving to the South its pet
system, undisturbed, we have never doubted.
Why it has not been, is stated by Wendell
Phillips, in the following words:
"Now, that Democrat element in the North
IS strong enough, were it one and united,
and would have icrushed all its foes on
this continent in ninety days. There never
was a time since the commencement Of the
struggle, when, if the North had been a unit,
the war might have been ended in three
months; and so ended itwould have left
Slavery where it found it. But the North
has never been unit. With the North as a
unit, democratic, intelligent, resolved, in earn
est, the South never would have risked the
struggle
Had the Democracy of the North yielded a
united and earnest support to su2pressing the
rebellion, slavery would have been undls-
turbed by Presidential proclamations. By
their sedition and divisions, they have united
With the South, and become practical Aboli-
tionists!

In ITS, perhaps the darkest period Of the
American Revolution, when thousands ad-
hered to the mother country and clamored
for peace, the legislature Of New York passed
the following preamble and bill:
WHEREAS, Certain of the inhabitants Of
this State have, during the course of the
present cruel war, waged by the King and
Parliament of Great Britain against the peo-
pie of these States, affected to maintain a
neutrality, which there is reason to suspect
was, in many instances, dictated by a power
ty of spirit and an undue attachment to prop
erty And sshereas, divers Of the said per-
sons, some of whom advocated the American
cause until it became serious, have, notwith-
standing the forbearance of their countrymen,
and contrary to their faith pledged by their
paroles, ungratefully and insidiously, by art
full misrepresentation and a subtle dissimin-
alton Of doctrines, fears and apprehensions,
false in themselves and injurious to the
American cause, ,seduced certain weak minded
persons from the duty they owed to their
country; and it being repugnant to justice as
as we'll as good policy that men should be per-
mitted to shelter themselves under govern
ment which they not only refused to assist in
rearing, but which they daily endeavor to
undermine and subvert- H 9-
Be it enacted, dc. l. That all such
men be required to take an oath ofallegiance,
which was prescribed in the act.
9. That if they refuse to take the oath,
they shall be removed to within the enemy's
lines and
8. That if they ever return afterward
they shall be adjudged guilty Of misprison o.
treason.
Under the provisions Of this act, hundreds
of tories were sent out of the State, and ove1
the lines, and to this day have never return
ed. Moreover their property was confiscated
Many of them, and their descendants, may
be found in the British colonial ports giving
aid and comfort to the rebels-hiring vessels
and freighting them for Southern ports. =
