1.-THE LAST ARMY OF THE ne.
PUBLlC.,s


The Copperhead press of the North
predicted some time ago that the last ar
my of the Republic had been raised
Most of those presses exerted themselves
to prevent the first army of the Republic
bslug raised. and they have strenuously
found fault with the war ever since, and
now when troops are called for to rein
force our advancing armies they urge
every conceivable objection to the meas-
ure. How is this to be accounted for ex-
cept on the presumption that they ar. op-
posed TO the advance of our armies and
desire to see them driven back BY the
enemy7
In Iowa, with rare exceptions, the
Copperhead press have opposed the hun
dred day call. and, to the extent of their
ability, have discouraged their readers
from rallying to the support of the flag Of
their country. As a consequences the
business of filing up the call has been
delayed, and had their counsels prevailed
our gallant soldiers already in the field
