In regard to the political conduct of affairs, you
will please labor to impress upon the inhabitants
of Missouri and the adjacent States, that zoe are
fighting solely for the integrity Of the Union, to
to restore to tie nation the blessings of peace and
good order McCLELLAN TO HALLEcK.
We shall most readily Suppress this rebellion and

giously respecting the Constitutional rights Of all

The Inhabitants of Kentucky may rely upon IL
that their donsestic institutions ,oH tn no manner

only to repeat that you will in all respects, care
fully regard the local institutions Of the region In
which you command, allowing nothing but the die
tates Of military necessity to cause you to depart
from the spirit of these Instruction. MoCLILLAN
TO BUELL.. .t.r..tl:
The rebellion has assumed the character of war,
as such it should be regarded; and 1t should be
conducted upon the highest principles known to
Christian civilization. IL should not be "a soar
looking to the su5j,sgation of tho people Of any
State IN any event. IL should not Be at all toav
upon populations, but against armed .fnces and
political organizations. Neither confscatioa Of
property, political executions of persons territorial
organization of States, nor forci5e abolition of
slavery should be contemplated for a moment. In
prosecuting the ,oar, all private property and wn
armed persons should be strictly protected subject
only to the necessity Of military operations. All
private property taken for military use should be
paid or receipted for; pilIage and waste should be
treated as high crimes; all unnecessary trespess
sternly prohibited, and offensive demsanor BY the
military towards citizens promptly rebuked. MI
itary arrests should not be tolerated. except in la-
,chere actius hostties erist and oaths not re-
CURED By enactments constitut,onaAy made, should
be neither demanded nor received. Military gov.
eminent should be confined to the preservation of
public order and the protection of political rights

Of our strength, security and happiness rs peo-
ple, and as framework of government. equally
conducive to the welfare and prosperity Of all the

2. That this Convention does explicitly declare,
rs the sense of the American people, that after
four years Of failure to restore the Union by the
experiment of war, during which, under the pre-
tense of military necessity or war power higher
than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has
been disregsrded in every part snd public liberty
and private right alike trodden down and the ma
teriai prosperity of the country essentially i'm

for cessation of hostiliies with view to an ult-
luate Convention Of the States or other peaceable
means, to the end that at the earliest practicable
moment peace may Re restored en- the basis of the
Federal Union Of the States.

A. That the aim and OBJ ect of the Democratic
rarity are to preserve the Federal Union and the
rights Of the States unimpaired and they hereby
declare that they consider the administrative usur-
patton Of extraordinary and dangerous powers not
granted by the Constitution the subversion Of

and spread, until it has brought upon
those who come after us, the terrible

Tho position occupied by our State, in
this war for the preservation Of the Tn
ION, 10 rrot1d and enyiahle one. From
the first outbreak of the rebellion until
the present time, Iowa has neither faI
tered nor waversd in the discharge Of her
duty. In both branches Of the National
Council she has presented an unbrok en-
front to treason and rebellion, and has
gwen q steady and undivided support to
the General Government. Her State
Government, in all its branches, has Civ
en- evidence Of her unfinchins and un-
conditional loyalty and devotion to the
good caGse. Her people have, at all
times ind promptly. filled all reauisi.

the ranks of the Union armies: and the
men she has sent to the field have been,
at least, second to none in all soldierly

Ora"e soldiers, and that page is all over
glowing with the proofs of their heroisrn

proud and the bare mention OF the
names of many of them stirs the blood
and warns the heart Of every Towan.

that I trust that when the history of the
