CALL FOR A DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONvENT.ON.

A Convention is hereby called. to meet
at 10 o'clock A. NJ, on Thursday, June
10th. 1864, ut the Court House in the city
OF Des Moines, to appoint sixteen dele
gates to the National Convention at Chi.
cago; to select candidates for Presidential
Electors for Iowa to nominate a Demo-
cratic State ticket and to adopt such
other measures as the public welfare may
seem 10 require The ratio Of representa-
ton will be one delegate for each hundred
votes, and every maximum fraction, cast
for General Tultle a: the last annual cleo.
ton, but each county will be allowed at
least one delegate.
The chief corner stone Of our national
political ediGce is non.interierence, 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 Iiber
ty, is is either prac.ible or desirable, upon
any other basis. But this fundamental
principle has been 20 flagrantly violated,
in the election aud administration Of Pres.
ident Lincoln, as to have produced real
di>union, practical desrotism, and disns.
trous civil war. 1t behooves the people of
the United States to rectify, in 1864, the
fatal mistake of 1860, whence proceed
the awful condition of American socie-
ty; to restore, as far as may be possible,
the statu quo ante bcllum: and mptati.
cally aud forever TO repudatc the pern>
cious principles aud interruptions men of
the reigning federal dynasty, which should
not be permitted, as i, 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-
tion of delegates to the Convention who
favor speedy termination OF the existing
war who will maintain the Union by a
stricts 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,
and bring to condisn punishment, the
guilty leaders of the sectional parties,
North and South, who are prodigally, nay,
reckless'y squandering the lives and for
tunes of the American people. in most
vindictive partisan warfare. which is man.
ifestly destructive Of the Constitutional
Union Of the States. and is rapidly tend

More than six,r thousand men have
gone forth from our midst TO project our
lives, aud nid in sustaining The integrity
OF cur government.
OF that number, thousands who have
left little ones nj home, will never return
to give them the kindness and aid their
helpless condition requires Many des,i-
tute children whose fathers have fallen in
defence of our country are now appealing
to Us fer help.
Shall it be sa,d that the child Of an
Iowa soldier ever lacked shelter or begged
for bread? Their fathers have borne IA
noble par, in our glorious contest for the
integrity and unity Of our government
crownug our State with imperi>habie
honors BY their bravery and patriotism
their devotion TO the cause o. liberty,
they have turned back the tide Of war
from our own dwellings, aud at the sacri>
ice Of their own lives have given peace
aud prosperity to our State Oar land is
teeming with plenty, ard 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 to.
gether for the purpose Of providing n
home and edceai'on for the orphans of
onr brave dead They have become a
corporate body and have taken the neces.
sary steps for opening the Institution early
in May.
A temporary building has been secured,
and arrangements are being made to pro
vide Immediately for the wan, of destitute
orphans. Funds are wanted to build a
permanent Institution. Every citizen in
the State sbonld feel personally respoGsi.
BILE, to some extent, fer the success Of the
enterprise, FOR they are bound by tho most
sacred obligations TO meet this most Just
and reasonable demand. Let there be n
unanimous and generous determination
on the part ot all our people, to honor our

We landed safe in Tennessee
And gain'd the heights of Shiloh.

No tents nor shelter could be found;
And with the raio was almost drowned

Beneath the eastern cloudy skies,

Prepare TO march for Shiloh.
But when the Shiloh's hove in view
The stoutess hearts it did subdue,

Upon the heights Of Shiloh.
Our Northern boys, with axe and hoes,
Were not behind as you may suppose;
They boldly faced the Southern foes
TO gain the heights Of Shiloh.

And ran like slaves before the hounds
We climbed the lils and gave three cheer
Upon the heights Of Shiloh
To Fort Cornth, the Rebels 1ed,
They left their wounded and their dead

With the blood that was split at Shiloh
There's many pretty maid will mourn,
For her true love will not return;
Yon cruel warriors when away
Your bodies will lay at Shiloh.
