rate reign Of blood in the Nortb-to over
throw the Government and make the re-
bellion success and JeG. Davis the Pres
ident. The Dodges, the Joneses, the By
ingtons, the Claggets and the Clay Deans
would have tried to rally their deluded fol-
lowers in Iowa, if their cowardice had not
prevented. It is folly to blink at the evil
dence before Us. These scoundrels only
want to know that they have chance Of
success. Show them that the rebellion
may be made . success by their oo-opera-
tion--that they may corporate with safety
and they will SO in ct once Does any
one suppose Mason would hesitate after
reading his infamous letters7 Does any
body suppose Dodge and Jones would hes
itate? Does anybody doubt Dennis Ma
hony?
If these men only waited the opportCni-
tyto inaugurate reign Of terror-if they
are ripe for treason, is it not wise to be on
our guard against their Internal machina-
tons at the polls7 Because Grant, Sher-
man and Sheridan are whipping the rebels
in the field, is it any reason Why we should
sleep on our posts in the presence of these
conspirators9 We need to wake up. We
need to be vigilan.. We need to DO our
duty al well a. the men who have muskets
in their hands. Everything in at stake.
