ties and individuals in proportion to the
substance aud capacity liable to the haz-
ord; and it is npt circumstances as much
as the appreciation they obtain, which is,
in fact, public opinion that operates for or
against popular and personal welfare and
happiness. 1t cannot be otherwise than
the duty Of all men to govern themselves
considerably, and putting aside oil selfish.
ness, jealousy, malignity and distempered
fancy, do whatever they can toward the
general good which means but an aggre.
CATION of the welfare of all individuals.
We can readily picture to ourselves two
rival scenes, the one presenting harmo.
NOUS unity in which all experience enjoy
ment and realize substantial blessings as
doth the universe from the light and
warmth Of the Sun; the other displays
cankered body polite, .ioc.ured, poisoned
and bedeviled with acrimony and jealous
les, no one individual consenting to regard
the success of another as q benefit to the
whole, or the prosperity Of all as Of any
advantage to himself, and nothing to be
perceived but discomfort and discord, each
and all snarliDg, wrangliug and hating as
demons more than men. Upon these pic.
lures, public opinion makes its choice and
takes it's stand, forgetful at the moment
that itself forms the most conspicuous
feature and substantial portion Of each -
The latter view has, within our brief re.
membrance, afforded Us q too faithful con.
ception Of the frequent coalition Of affairs
in our own little victimised community of
suicides. The clamors Of envy, the snsrl
ing jealousies Of The unsuccessful who are
perhaps incapable Of success in any pur-
suit, and the petty fretfulness Of the always
unreasonable and never satisfable few
who never obtain because notoriously in.
competent to accomplish, have done much,
too much toward making up the aggregate
Of public opinion resulting so damsgingly
to the interests OF North Western Iowa
and the adjacent Territories.
We have been led to make these few
remarks, by the fact that no supplies
whatever for army purposes are to be con.
srac.ed for, or purchased here or here
abouts except such as i. may be deemed
impractiesble to bring from St. Louis.-

Negro Suffrage with the Soldiers.

The republican leaders are rapidly max.
ing the discovery that tho soldiers arc
going TO oppose negro suffrage and Bill
Stone. The boys ia blue, have seen the
negro as he is, and they have no desire to
transplant him from bis southern home,
and make Iowa . Congo Paradise. They
know that the success Of the republican
party 10 Iowa this fall, will be heralded as
q triumph for negro equality, as announc-
ed in their State Platform, and will fix the
eyes Of all negrodom upon our State as
especially favorable to their race. The
soldiers meeting at Keokuk q short time
since sounded the Key Note Of the feel.
ings Of the soldiers. The meeting adopted
unanimously the following resolution
20. That We will supper. no candidate
Tor either State or county offices, q: the
approaching election, who is not unquali.
6edly opposed to extending the right Of
suffrage to negroes in Iowa.
Nine. tenths of the soldiers OF our State
endorse this resolution, and will unite in
maintaining it. An extrac. from letter
from the 18th Iowa, near Louisville, says
Of an address delivered to them on the Alb
Of July by one Of Stones agents, in favor
Of negro suffrage. The writer is the son
Of Mr.. Aaron Orm, Of Fort Madison. He
says:-
II am going to tell you father, that il
was put forth yesterday, by the State
agent from Iowa, in a speech to the 18th
our gallant old regiment-but be had
not gone far when some voices said,-
That's enough Take him down, the
damned old nigger.' from hundreds of
soldiers. A great many went to their
quarters disgusted, aud such cursing l
never heard. He kept on q little longer.
when the boys said go for him. and they
did 60 for him in a regular charge, and
il wound up in several getting knocked
down, and the speaker receiving one or
two about the head and back, but he had
a good pair Of legs, which carried him of
just about as fast as any one ever saw
His long tailed linen would have carried
forty rounds without . wave. l wonder
if that is the man Mr.. Stone has sent
down here to electioneer for him?'
Perhaps the State Agent experienced a
little, the pleasures Of mobism, which his
party has applauded so highly during the
last three years, when exercised upon
Democrats. We are glad to see that the
soldiers are moving 10 this matter, and
are not to be deferred by any cry of cop
perhesd, &c.
They can Gee from the readiness with
which republican editors apply to them
that term, how falsely il has been used
upon democrats. The present campaign
will entirely disabuse their minds of the
false Impressions they have formed Of their
old ueighbors and friends, and will show
who are really in favor Of the Uoion and
the Constitution as administered BY white
men.

SOLDIERS! HEADS UP!3 EYES
FRONTI!! NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

This is the question to be submitted to
you on your return from the fields Of
blood and carnage through which you
have so manfully vaded in crushing the
rebellion.
AT the radical convention recently beld
in Massachusetts,, Wendell Phillips, their
great orator, let off the following:
Now comes the crisis. wha. is the ne
gro! Well, l say, in the face Of all. pre-.
JUDGE, that amid the galIentry, the pa
tience, tho heroism Of this war, the Negro
bears the palm.' [Great applause.]
Whot do our Iowa Veterans think of
this. Massachusetts, abolitionists after
buying by large boun.ies, negroes to fill
its quota of soldiers, now seeks TO oxalt
them above the white voluntee who en-.
tered the service from patriotic motives.
They are the Heroes" Of the war.
1t is about time tina. these negro wor.
shippers were taught that white men have
some rights that fanatics will be Obliged
TO respect, aud that our returned soldiers
are not to be insulted with impunity.
