crat-tbat is, lover Of the largest liber-
ty consistent with our Government. 1
know of no word more fit to express my
conviction than that of Democrat.
When the rebellion first raised it's arms
against the Government | thought the
power rested in tie people to subdue it,
and nobly was that power -sxsTted. A
million of soldiers was raised in \ day
from the walks of peace. More noble
devotion 10 not on record since man loved
liberty. When Fl. Sumter was attack ed

tional and individual action far above all

finally rendered it for national service IS a
part Of the Sd Iowa cavalry. ] remained
with it in active service until discharged
on certificate of disability from injuries
received. My conviction was that this
rebellion must. will and shall be subdued
This sentiment beats paramount to- day
in my heart. ! long to see the good old
flag float over our entire domain aud TO
see the United States remain among the
great powers Of the world. To accom-
plish this united people is necessary -
|, therefore. hold that unity is a para
mount duty, and, discard.ng all "par'y
isrhs,' hold that general call to sus-
tain the nation is proper, both in the State
and in the nation. Ny hand and heart

- The great evil with which our
country has been cursed in times past has
been the success which has crowned the
efforts of men who make political CHI
eshery business. These men study
nght and day to compass their ends. and
the unsuspected honesty of the masses is
too frequently circumvented by their
tricks, and the country pays the forfeit
when IL is too late to remedy the evil.
In ordinary times, when great wrongs
only need time TO be fully exposed and as
far as possible to correct the evil conse-
qpences resulting from their ephemeral
existence, the vocation Of the demsgoc CUES
of the country is not to be so much dread
ed, and ordinary caution on the part OF
the people may suffice to preserve sef-
government. But these are ftmcs-aDd
tbe present are such--when the tricks oi
dishonest men, who seek to control the
'e7"'N' VI I"o oaHos-ooAj arc DoIc udukef-
Gus to the rights of the people and the
perpetuity of good government than the
bayonets of an invading army. We but
utter the sentiments of the honest and
patriotic of all classes, when we assert
that times past should suffice for the tricks
of political leaders. The events which
now compass US, and the dangers that
threaten US. call aloud with trumpet voice
to every man to be honest with himself
and his country, and to spurn with con-
tempt those men who. in this periea of
our country's trial and need, would uifie
with them in matters which concern the
existence of our Government.
Woe be to tha, man, who, trusting to
the popularity which be may have earned
by exposing himself, in common with the
rank and file Of the army. to the bullets
of the enemy, shall prostitute his posi-
ton and influence to bolster up the rot
ten coalition of traitors, who, more than
oil else at this time, sustain and psrpstu-
se the accursed rebellion against the
peace and unity of our Government. He
may fancy in hi. be~ildered imagination
that the web Of sophistry which treason
mongers are weaving for him will suffice
to mislead the generous aud honest i'm
pulses of the people, but time will de.
velop to him that, in position 70 false
70 bis and his counsry's real frisuds, he
has placed himself between the upper
