gress, il will be perceived that the Civil
Rights Bill passed the House yesterday by
vote of l22 to Al, and it is now law, and SO
to be regarded.
NEW MOVE Of COPPERHEAD
OFFICE sEEKERs.
Charles Mason 4 Co., late co-operators Of
the National Democratic Association of Wash
ington City, have reorganized their concern
and rebaptised it National johnson Club
The name of the association was changed in
order to get rid of the odium attaching to it,
and to commend it to the favor of President
johnson, in the hope that the prominent
leaders of the association would thereby be-
come the dispensers ofthe patronage of the
Government. Judge Mason. of our State,
was the Chairman of the meeting, and Mont
gomery Blair is made the President of the
new club, with Judge Mason as Correspond
ing Secretary, and Hon. A. c. Dodge Vice
will be remembered, was denounced at the
opening of the war by Clagett, Coolbaugh,
and other prominent members OF the Demo
cratie party as disunionist, and both he and
Dodge belonged to the Mahony wing Of the
party. They are fit Representatives. of polit-
ical club in Iowa which is to act in concert
with traitors of the South, but their record is
not such as will commend the club or the
party to the favor of the loyal masses of
Iowa. The people of our State. which has
- G.,
for the Union, are not so craven as to enlist
under the lead of men like Mason and Dodge
and their confreres, who opposed the war,
and who now combine with the open traitors
of the South to obtain control of the Govern.
ment by fraud or force.
Here is the list Of Copperheads and Love.
heads who propose to run the politics of the
country:
Montgomery Blair, the President of the
Association, was turned out Of President Lin
coins Cabinet on the special request of the
Baltimore National Convention. which nomi
mated Lincoln aud johnson, and afterwards
made campaign speeches in New York
against Lincoln and johnson, and IN favor Of
MeClelland. With few Insignificant ex-
ceptions, the balance of the names belong to
persons who distinguished themselves as
Copperheads in the North, are traitors in the
South
President Johnson has given assurance that
tic intends to stand with the Union party
which carried through the war successfully,
and nominated and elected him, and members
of his Cabinet are known to occupy that posi-.
lion. hence we infer that this new organza-
.ion will have hard time of it, without sup
port of the President, the Cabinet, Congress
or the people.
The following is a list, those in itaiic being
Copperheads or traitors from the start, the
Others having had some pretensions to loyalty
at some time within the last Ave years:
