The Rev. Henry Clay Dean write. a
epistle to the brethren in Iowa from Nif
linsown. Pennsylvania. A few brief e,
tracts will exhibit the character and m,
pose of this blessed copperhead marty,
He says:
q In the means of restoring tho Union
no man differs from General Tu,tle NOR
than | do. But General Tultle ia tn.
nominee of the Democratic rarty, and
am . Democrat; / shah therefore riy,
him my undivided support.
So, this Grassy old abolitionist Of forme,
years is now held to the support OF Tut
tie, not because be sgress with him II
supporting the war, bat because be l. ,
Democrat.
Talley, not Tuttls, 10 Deans beau idea
of : Democrat however. and he thu,
sulogizes that dead tsaitor.
Let Il not Be forgotten that the tal.
ented, noble. gallant Tally. pure citizen
and devoted Christian minister. WA sho,

manded that tho mnrderers should be de.

Notwithstanding Tut.le differed 60
widely from Dean that hs said be ought
to be hung. Dean is forgiving. and urge.
all PEACE MEN to vots for Gen. Tut
tie.
"Tuttlc differs somewhat with me in
opinion on National affairs; but let ali
the past be forgotten

liberty and constitutional Law, 90 to the
polls. urge his neighbors to the polls, and
vote for Gen. Tuttle."
And again be urges'the peaee ssen, for
his sake, to vote for Tuttle
The peace men. the Democrats. the
men Of law, order, liberty. security, have
only one alternative. They must per-
petuate the present condition of things.
or oust the malignant party in power in
the State, and vote for Gen. TuttIe.
No man has suffered more for liberty
or asked OF his friends less for himself
than /.
| therefore beg you to hear me. The
election ofa worthy man by your votes
in October next, is our last and our only
hope"
Surely, the epis,le Of resn, and the
speeches Of Fernandy. must convert the
loyal Stats Of Iowa to Copperhe adism il
there is any power in rhetoric and elo-
quence from the pen or the lips OF
traitors.
Will the War Democrats and the sol.
diers of Iowa turn pace men 10 order
that they may yield TO the pathetic appeal.
OF the martyred Dean in favor Of Tuttle
Can the loyal men of Iowa he so cruel a.
to crust GU, he peace snesks" at the
coming election? We sllall see.
But it is not the peace men of the
North only whose hopes will be forever
crushed by the triumph Of the Union
ticket; their bellicoss brethren Il tns
South are quite % much interested as the
Copperheads themselves in the success.
Of the opponents Of the Government.
Here are some elegant extracts from
the Southern wing Of The disrupted par.
ty, imbued with the same spirit and ex.
pressing similar language with those
culled from Deans epistle.
The Augusta (Gs.) Oonstitutionalist, .
leading rebel paper, under date Of Sept
9sh-just ten days before the combined
rebel armies attacked Rosecrans-used
the following language
elf Johnston and Bragg can defea,
Rosecrans and Burnside, Charleston still
holding out, or if Lee, with his recruited
army, can defeat Meade with the aid Of
all his new conscripts, demoraliaed and
disaffected as they are represented. then
We may expect the most favorable results
in the Ohio election and Lincoln Con.
gress. But unless something of the kind
is accomplished speedily, then a long
farewell to peace party-Vallandigham
will be defeated, and Wood aud his party
paralyzed or overawed IN Congress, and
peace postponed indefinitely, without for.
eigu aid.
