CALL FOR A DEMOCRATIC STATE
ONvENT.ON.


A Convention is hereby called, to m neet
at 10 o'clock A. NJ, on Thursday, juno
10th. 1864, at the Court House 10 the city
OF Des Moines, to appoint sixteen dele.
gates to the National Convention at Chi.
cage: to select candidates for Presidential
Electors for Iowa to nominate Demo-
cratic State ticket; and to adopt such
other measures as the public welfare may
seem to require. The ratio of representa-.
ton will be one delegate for each hundred
votes, aud every maximum fraction, cast
for General Tutt!e a: the last annual elec.
ton, but each county will be allowed at
least one delegate.
The Chief corner stone Of onr national
political ediGce is non.n,erterence. by
federal authority, with the domestic affairs
of the States. Without it no Union could
have been formed and no Union that
would be compatible with the public liber.
ty. is is either rractible or desirable, upon
any other basis. But this fundamental
priuc Pile has been so hagrantly violated,
in the election and administration of Pres.
ident Lincoln, as to have produced real
di>union, practical despotism, and disas-
trous civil war. 1t behooves the people Of
the United States to rec1ify, in 1864, the
fatal mistake of 1860. whence proceed
the awful condition of American soce-
ty; to restore, as far rs may be possible,
the stafu quo ante be'ium and emphai-
cally and forever to repudiate the perni>
cous principles and unscrupulous men of
the reignjng federal dynasty, which should
not be permitted, as it threatens to per.
petuate itself either by fraudulent elections
or by military denomination.
All the electors Of the State, therefore,
are requested to partici pate in the elec-
ton of delegates to the Convention who
favor speedy termination of the existing
war; who will maintain the Union by n
strict observance Of the Constitution of
the United States in letter and spirit; aud
who will insist upon their right at an un-
trammeled election, to expel from power,
aud bring 10 condign punishment, the
guilty leaders Of the sectional parties,
N",:h and South, who are prodigally, nay,
recklessly squanderipg the lives and for.
tunes OF the American people. in a most
vind'ctive partisan warfare, which is man.
ifestly destructive of the Constitutional
Union Of the States. and is rapidly tend
ing to bankrupt, to bru,alize, aud to Alri.
canize the nation.

Appeal to the People Of Iowa In be-
half of the orphan Asy lum.

More than six,~ thousand men have
gone forth from our midst to protect our
lives, and aid in sustaining the integrity
Of cur government.
Of that number. thousands who have
TO give them the kiGdness and aid their
helpless condition requires Many desti,
tu,e children whose fathers have fallen in
defence of our country are now appealing
to Us for help.
Shall it be SAID that the child of an
Iowa soldier ever lacked shelter or begged
for bread? Their fathers have borne a
noble part in cur glorious contest for the
Integrity md unity of cur government
crowning our State with imperishabie
honors. By their bravery and patriotism
their desotcn 10 the canse Of liberty,
they have turned back the tide Of war
from our own dwellings, and at the sacri~
Zee Of their own lives have given peace
and prosperity to our State. Our land is
teeming with plenty, ard we believe the
grea, loyal heart of Iowa will respond to
this just demand made upon us by these
helpless children, made orphans by the
ruthless hand Of war
A number Of the patriotic citizens of
the State have associated themselves to,
ge,her for the purpose Of providing n
home and education for the orphans Of
our brave dead. They have become a
corporate body and have taken the neces-
sary steps for opening the Institution early
in May. .... ...... e. -.-.-...
A temporary building has been secured,
and arrangements are being made to pro
vide Immediately for the want of destitute
orphans. Finds are wanted to build o
permanent institution. Every citizen in
the State should feel personally RESPONSE
BILE, to some extent. for the success Of the
enterprise, for they are bound by the most
sacred obligations to meet this most inst
and reasonable demand. Let there be q
unanimous and generous determination
on the part Of MI our people. to honor orr
dead by caring for their helpless and loved
ones.
Funds may be sent to the Treasurer, N.
