Appeal 10 the People of IOWA in
behalf Of the Orphan Asylum.

More than sixty thousand men have gone
forth from our midst, to protect our lives, and
aid in sustaining the integrity of our govern
ment.
OF that number, thousands that have left
little ones at home, will never return to give
them the kindness and aid their helpless con
di,ion requires. Many destitute children
whose fathers have fallen in defense 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 q noble
part in our glorious contest for the integrity
and unity OF our gOvernment-crowningO our
State with imperishable honors. By their
bravery and patriotism, their devotion to the
cause of liberty, they have turned back the
lids Of war from our dwellings,, and at the
sacriics Of their own lives have given peace
ard prosperity 10 our State. Our land is
tccmng with plenty, and we believe the great
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 together for
tho purpose Of providing homo and educa-
tlOu iOT TIC VI ptl8IlS VI OuI OI6Vc urVu Lucy
have become corporate body, and have taken
the necessary steps for opening the 1nstitu-
ton early in May.
A temporary building has been secured,
and arrangements are beng made to provide
immediately for the want Of destitute orphans.
Funds are wanted to build permanent In
stitution. Every citizen in the State should
feel personally responsible, to some extert
for the success Of the enterprise. for they are
bound by the most sacred obligations to meet
this most just and reasonable demand. Let
there be q unanimous and generous deter
mination on the part of all our people to hon
or our dead by caring for their helpless loved
ones.
Funds may be sent to the Treasurer, Y. H.
Brainard, Iowa City, and reported to the Re-
cording Secretary, Miss Mary Kibben, Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa.

Mr. Speaker, if we want peace that is not
hollow peace, we must follow that example

must establish freedom in the midst of servi-

will go down against the enemy bearing with
them the majesty and might Of q great nation.

law that will sweep away the cause of the
whole terrible revolution. The war began
by proclamation, and it must end by procla-

The Contrast.

The Journal ef Commerce says the letter
of acceptance of Gen. Mcclellan toucbes
chord in the National heart which he, OF all
men, seems bost skilled to arouse. We
have heard no sentiment except Of ljoyiul
approval from any man who loves the
Union. The alliance between the worst
forms of radicals, at the North and at the
South, seems to be complete, and ali who
desire the triumph Of disunion are working
together against the election Of Mcclellan.
Hence the bitter Northern Aboltionists and
the bitter Southern radicals are both vio-
lently angry at the letter. Butperhaps the
most important fact is that those men in
New York who best know tue people Of the
South, declare that this is the. FIRST step to-
ward peace and union! That il Mcclellan
is elected the people in the rebelious States
will Law down their arms and submit to
tho Constitution. This is so confdentialiy
asserted, by men OF the highest character
and the best means Of information, that We
cannot but regard il as oi the utmost i'm
portance. We have never witnessed
more enthusiastic reception of any public
document or speech. Every honest heart
was filled with response to ITS patriotic
words. The Union, at all hazards; every
effort for peace and union; no conditions ot
peace but Union; theisupremscy oflaw over
President, army and people; th SO are gio
rious and golded principles, unknown in
