gs1@ A call is being circulated by the
reconstructed Democratic party for signers,
to call National Union Convention on
the goth Of June, at Madison. Let not
the Union men of the State be deceived in
to signing this call, or supporting this
convention, for it is only new dodge OF
the old Copperhcad party, and the chief
movers in this matter are no more the
Union party than they were when they
declared the war failure, and clamored
for a compromise; when they called our
soldiers Lincoln hirelings," our greatest
generals butchers" and had for their
motto, 'Nota man nor dollar to carry
on the war for the Union. SO be on your
guard, and be not deceived by their faiI

EDITOR CBRONICLE-Allow me space in
your columns to give the object of the

the fostering of that heroic spirit which
led them forth 20 battle in sacred cause,
and to secure proper recognition of their
claims, and
To procure for honorably discharged
soldiers, who possess sufficient qualifca-
tions, the preference in all situations in
the gift Of the federal, state, and munich
pal governments.
To obtain from the government all ar
rearages of back pay, and secure to each
soldier entitled thereto, the benefits of the
Bounty Bill now before Congress, FREE
OF EXPENSE.
10 procure employment in the general
pursuits Of lifo, for our comrades who may
need such assistance.
To urge upon the government and the
people the just claims of honorably dis
charged soldiers, and the widows and or
phans of our fallen comrades, thata speedy
settlement of their claims may be made,
and that the condition Of widows and or
phans may be amsliorated.
To extend to members who by sickness

Political.

In politics there is no sign of improve
ment. Both factions are about as noisy
as ever, neither disposing to give way in
opinion. lfanything, the Democrats are
rapidly concentrating on would-be john
sonian platform, ignoring their former
platform, and sneakingy stealing from
their opponents whenever the opportunity
is given. Thousands of documents are
being circulated by this inconsistent party.
which to any reasonable man are but the
croakings of few disappointed aspirants
for office.
The Democrats having discarded their
former platforms, now seek to- establish
themselves in. the favor Of the President.
All Of sudden they are his friends. They
admire him, think he has no equal, and is
above all, the Saviour of his country
Iowa county can boast of johnson Dem
ocrats as now termed. In other days,
these same men were opposed to the Re-
publican President. Then the Presi dent
was murdeyer-in fact, there were not bad
names sufficient in the English language
to call him. Then they opposed the war |;
thought the South were oppressed, and
the Lincoln hirelings were murderers.

sistency is bereft of the jewel, and these

Of political trust, should now become so
magnanimous The Democracy of this
county claim to consistently support the
President, but in so doing they must give
up their old dogmas, and acknowledge as
Senator Doo.ittle says, that with the cap
ture of the rebels we captured the Demo
cratic party, and with their surrender the
Democratic party was forced to surrender.
But the Democrats of Iowa county are not
willing to admit any such proposition.
Here they go the whole hog, acknowledge
their past actions, swear they were right,
and refuse to admit that they have changed.
We'll, we don't know that they have
changed much, not materially however,
only in profession. So we know where to
find them.
