most important and noticeable fact
that they have entirely ignored the

their convention at Des Moinea, and
no. q prominent member OF that voter

ing Col. Benton, or afiiliates in any
manner with that party, although
many of them are known TO be honest
ly opposed to negro suffrage. While
we accord all honor to the brave army
of the Gulf, and those who fought SO
nobly in the valley ofthe Mississippi, yet
it would have shown q little more CON
sistency for the copperhcads to have at
ieast remembered that Immortal army
which fought their way beneath burn

Georgia and captured Atlanta; thu
men who marched with Tecumseh

Election, Tuesday, Oct. 10th.
EGtIrs, Attention!

In this, oar last issue before election
we would remind all Union electors that
1t is their bounded duty to be at the
polls on Tuesday next aud cast their
ballots for the nominees of their party.
The election is very important one,
and never in the history of this country
has there been n time when good and
true men were more needed in public
stations than now.
The physical contest which resulted
in the suppression of the Great Rebel
lion and the yindication of the Govern
ment, is indeed at amend; but there is
now raging throughout the land q NOR
al war, conflict Of principle, which in
wolves mightier interests than were ev-
er settled by force of arms on any field
OF strife. The question of reconstruct
ton is one that will have lasting in
fuence upon the future of this country,
and the settlement of its knotty points
should be entrusted only to those men
who by their past course have shown
themselves TO be the wise, answering
friends of Freedom, Humanity and the
Federal Union. Congress meets in q
few weeks, and none can foretell the re-
suit of the session, though we all under
stand that it will be called to legislate
upon questions of appalling magnitude.
In our own State we are called upon to
elect Chief Executiveand State Leg
islature, and it behoeves us TO be careful
and not elect any man whose influence
whould be adverse to the policy sought
to be pursued 10y the great mass OF the
Union men OF the country. We want
to elect from Governor down to town.
ship officers men whose influence, di-
rectly and indirectly, will be on the
right side; men representing o set OF
principles that will bring to bear upon
the Cabinet and Congress 3 steady PIES
sure for the enforcement Of right doe
trinc; men, who cmbodying the popu-
lar will Of the State, will be prepared to
give backbone and stability to our own
Congressional delegation in the arduous
duties Of the coming session. Friends,
the election is really one OF vital impor-
t.acc, and we trust that every Union
voter who possibly can will bc at the
polls. Let rallying committees he APP
pointed in every township whose duty
1T shall be to see that every voter is got
out. In war Iowa has been among the
first, surpassed by none; in peace let us
still maintain our proud position, and
never give over the conflict until our
Government rests upon sure and safe
foundation; a basis that will ensure
permanent peace, certain prosperity,
and make it truly the wiscst and best of
earth.
