R@ We publish call, signed by soldiers
opposed to negro suffrage, who have deter
mined not to countenance any man who diff
fers with them on that question, which they
seem to regard as the only question upon
which it is proper to make an issue. They
have not a word to say against rebels, nor
against Copperheads who opposed the war
and denounced it failure. Their wrath is
all reserved for the negroes and the Union
men, who stood by the soldiers during the
war and secured them the right of suffrage, of
which the Copperheads sought to deprive
thep.
AT the outbreak of the war the Union men
at home and in the field did not agree on the
much more important question of slavery, yet
they stood together against Copperheads and
rebels, Notwithstanding that difference OF
opinion. and so they can and will do with few
exceptions, notwithstanding the present effort
to divide them, and the soldiers who now at
tempt to give aid and comfort to the Copper
head leaders of Iowa and render them respec-
table, have a worse lob on their hands than
that they have just finished so gloriously down
South

No New Thing with Them.

Col. HILLS made a very telling hit against
the Copperhead leaders in his speech at the
soldiers meeting the other night. He said
the opposition of the Copperheads to unlver-
sal suffrage was no new thing, got up on the
present occasion for the special benefit of the
loval negroes 1t was. on the contrary, a
general and well established principle of the
party, and during the war against the rebels
of the South the Copperhead of the North
had exerted their utmost efforts to put the
loyal soldiers of Iowa and other Northern
States on the same platform with the negroes
bv DENYING them the right of suffrage. In
Indiana, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where
the Copperheads had the power, they sue
ceeded in excluding the Union soldiers from
the polls. aud they would have done so in
Iowa had it not been for the overwhelming
Union majority in the Legislature.

Judge Mason, in his recent address to the
reunited Democracy, not only assumes to re-
veal tie designs of Heaven in recent
events, but draws largely on the Scriptures.
and makes special poin, on the parable OF
the prodigal son.
Parson BRowNLow. who, though not a self
appointed revelator of the designs of Heaven,
is, no doubt, quite as well versed in Scrip
ture exegesis as the man in whose pock-
cts the stolen poll-books were found by Dan.
MILLER holds forth as follows on this
favorite parable of the secesh Copperhead
leader. and we hope that MAsoS may be edi-
fed thereby;

HEApouARrERs 18th Iowa V. V.


NEAR LOUISVILLE, KY. July &, 1865.
EDIroRs GATE Cry Il believe you have
had no communication from the 18th Iowa
since our unfortunate capture. .:early one year
ago, at Tilton, Georgia. | returned to the
regiment but a short time since, having been
a prisoner of war. and found but handful OF
men left of the brave regiment that left your
city more than three years ago one thousand
strong. Hundreds have perished upon the
battle fields, many haze been carried of by
the diseases of the camp, and many starved
and died in prison.
But few of the old officers are left. Col.
VIEWER resigned about a month since, leaving
the regiment in very dilapidated condition.
Some men home on Vet. furlough, some pa
rolled prisoners of war, some being mustered
out, and only very few present with the
regiment in this unfortunate state. Lieut..
Colonel ARCHER assumed command, and by
working with nntiring energy, procured oi r
transfer from the I'd to the lst division, 18th
A. C.. by which means we obtained recruits
enough from Iowa regiments being mustered
out of service to fill the regiment up to more
than the average standard. Our reorganiza-
ton is now completed; new officers have
been appointed. new flags procured and in
scribed with all the battles in which the regi-
ment has been engaged and the old 18th
Iowa will go home next week in as fine con
dition as any regiment that is mustered out
of service.
An order had just been issued assigning US
two hundred more men. but as the War De
partment has since ordered this entire army
to be mustered out. they will not join us.
Lieut.. Col. ARCHER has been recommended
for Colonel. and viii probably receive his
commission before being mustered out. He
is now in command of the I'd brigade. lst di-
vision, 18th \. c.
The army now is all soldiers
anticipating the joys of home. Officers are
all busy making out musterout rolls, and in a
few more days the glorions old Army of the
Tennessee viii become extinct.
The I'd and 7th Iowa embark for Davenport
on the 11th, and one regiment after another
will follow until all the gallant sons of Iowa
have returned to their homes.

The New York Ne,rs in an editorial rom
which we publish an extract demonstrated
that every man under free Democratic Re-
publican Government, has an inherent right
to vote. But in a subsequent article he advi
ses his fellow traitor Democrats, of the South,
not to allow the colored man the right of suf-
frage, unless they can control his vote:
"Let them consider the subject for themselves,
in view Of the advantages they possess through
their familiarity with the character of the negro,
and decide whether they can control the political
action of the inferior II they cannot, let their
opposition to negro suffrage be firm ond energetic
BIT u they hare faiM IN their po'cer 10 direct the
pft,edt organization of the blacks, their first sfep
houfd be to put ballot ia the hands OF erery adult
negro. trusting to their own sagacity and natural
advantages to render that ballot the servant of
their wishes and interests. 1t is simple question
of policy, and as such we have suggested the con-
sideration to the southern people For the sake Of
the supremacy of the democratic doctrines, we desire
that every element of democratic strength shall be
brought into the field. 1t is matter for the late
slaveholding States to act upon, and We would
have them decide in accordance with their own
conception Of what is best for themselves and for
the democracy.
There is the true explanation of the primer
pies and policy of the copperheads They
oppose negro suffrage because they fear the
negroes viii vote against them just as they
opposed allowing the soldiers to vote during
the war because they knew that the soldibrs
would vote just as they had fought-for the
Union and against traitors north and south.
The copperheads pretend that they regard
the negros as too ignorant to exercise the right
of suffrage. but the loyal negroes of the-SGGth
are not more ignorant than the poor disoyal
whites, and besides il was not the ignorant
but the intelligent men of the South that
plunged the country into rebellion. And the
South would be much safer, and more loyal
to the Union to-day. under the influence Of
loyal negro suffrage, than it Is under the con
troll Of the disloyal whites either of the in tel
ligent or the ignorant class.
1t is the first time in the history of the
country, that Democrats ever suggested intel
igence as qualification for suffrage, and if
they should undertake to make this test
general over the North, as well as the South,
their party would be reduced to select few.
Copperheads are in favor of rebel suffrage
and opposed to negro suffrage, for the sake of
policy; and we are directly opposed to the
copperheads on principle on these points,
as upon every other, and have no doubt that
the country will find that we are right as we
have always been when opposed TO copper
heads

The Only Safe Policy.

The Nashville correspondent of the Ms
souri, Democrat, in view of the lawlcssness
and rancorous hate of the rebels in Tennessee
against the Government and loyal men, says
The only true and safe policy to pursue in this
State is to give the colored man the right of suf.
frage, otherwise the loyal men are bound to be in
the minority. And surely they are as well quail
fed by intelligence for the elective franchise as
large portion of our white population. We trusted
them in the hour of our sorest need with the bullet
and the bayonet to save the Government. And
nobly and bravely did they use them. And now
when they have saved our Government from des-
truction, we can surely trust them with the ballot
to aid in preserving it. Very few truly loya
men will object am assured by staunch and re-
liable Union men from various parts of the State
that If the troops removed from the State to-
morrow they could not live at their homes a week

bad Swearing.

The Lynchburg Republican Va says
''The horrible and frequent oaths which are
being presented to the people of this country
to swallow, under the new state of things, are
among the most demoralizing influences of
the age. To take simple oath to support
the Constitution and laws Of the land. would
seem. in all reason and conscience. to be suf.
fieient for men who have not honor enough
to respect such an oath, are not likely to have
their scruples affected by one of greater
breadth. minuteness or solemnity. The fact
is, an oath never made false witness tell the
truth. dishonest official more faithful to his
trust, or an outraged people true to loyalty.
Admit all this. and who is in fault Here
are Jefferson Davis, Robert Z. Lee, Alexan-
der H. Stephens, Howell Cobb, Robert
Toombs, and half million more of them,
who have taken. over and over again, "a sim
pie oath to support the Constitution and the
laws of the land, and have held important
and coveted stations in virtue of that oath.
Some of them were still holding those stations
and drawing liberal salaries from the Federal
Treasury when they engaged in conspiracy
to stbvert the Constitution and defy the laws,
with the hearty cooperation of the Lynchburg
Republican. The conspirators are Christian
professors, who claim to obey the dictates of
conscience but they say that, according to
their understanding. their oath to support the
Constitution was subordinate to their para
mount duty to obey and defend their respect

support the Constitution and laws, proves of
no avail in their case, 1.-THE Lynchburg Re

Benjamin Franklin Perry, the Provisional
Governor of South Carolina, was born in tha,
State in 1895. and is descended from Massa-
chusetts family OF the same name. He wa.
bred TO the law. but at an early age took poll
tics in hand and was some time editor OF an
naturalization paper published in Green
vile. Like many OF his class in the South ht
had duel with political opponent and killed
bis man. He was defeated for Congress II
1899. and for some time thereafter he applied
himself to the practice Of the legal profession
sketch of Gov. Perry says of his history
subsequently,
."ln 1886 he was elected 10 the State Legis
latnre without opposition. and III 1853 wa
again returned While holding this Office the
second time, he became prominent with Mem
minger, lately rebel Secretary Of the Treasury
in closing up the connection between the State
and the banks which had existed In 1874
he was elected to the State Senate. he was
the only member of that body who voted
against the expulsion from the State Of Mr.
Hoar; the Massachusetts State Agent l. il
noteworthy that Memminger was the only
member of the Lower House who voted
against the same resolution.
In 1850, when the disunion feeling again
rose high. Mr.. Perry established a Union pa
per at Greenyille. and persevered ih its publ
cation, though at great personal risk.
A speech which he made in the Legislature
was widely published throughout the North
and South, and was hailed rs the first ray o.
light from benighted South Carolina. Mr..
Perry S speech and President jackson action
had a wonderful effect in killing off secession
in South Carolina. and when in 1851 an cleo
ton was held for State Convention to dis
solve the Union. nobody but the Union men
voted, and the State did not secede,
Mr.. Perry has always maintained his posi-
ton in opposition to the right of secession. In
1850 he laughed at the idea of South Carolina
seeding at that time, and expressed the
opinion that he should live to see the State
sone of the most thoroughgoing Union States
of the republic. On the adjournment of the
convention without seeding, he was told that
one half of his prophecy was now true. Yes,

true. shall yet live to defend the State
rights doctrines of Virginia against consoli-
dating, centralizing principles Of South Caro-

has changed by the experience Of the last ten
years. He now believes the Institution to

slavery caused the rebellion, it is well that il
is among the things that should perish by its
failure.
