@THE CONQUERED BANNER:,,

The following poem, from a Southern paper, a
though Viekedly rebel, is fine specimen Of vgorou
verse:
Furl that Bannerl for 'tis weary
Round its staff It's droopiag dresry;
Furl IT. fold il, 1t is best
For there's not man TO wave it,
And there's not a sword to save it.
And there's not one left to lave it,
In the blood which heroes gave it;
FuTl 1t, hide it, let it rest.
Take the Banner down It's tattered;
Broken is its staif and shattered.
And the valiant hosts are scattered,
Der whom it hoated high.
Oh tits hard for US to fold it;
Hard to think there's none to hold it;
Hard that those who once unroled il
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Furl that Banner furl it sadly;
Once have thousands hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
SWore 1t would forever wave
sWore that fOeman's sword could never
Hearts like theirs entwned discover.
Till that fsg would float forever
Ger their freedom or their grave.
Furl 1t for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clssped it,
Cold and dead are lying now
Apd that Banner, it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
OF its people in their woe;
For though conquered, they adore il
Low the cold dead hands that bore it,
Weep for those that fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it,
And oh tldly they deplore it,
Now furl and fold it so.
Fufl that nner true It's CORY,
Yes, It's Nreathed around with glory,
And twill live in song and story,
Tho0gh Its folds are in the dust;
For its fame on brightest pages,
Peaned by poets and by saRes-
Shall 20 sounding down through ages
FuTl its folds though now we must.
SurI that BannerS softly slowly;
Treat it gently-t is holy
Fur it drOops above the dead
Toach it nOt-unfold it never,
fct = droops there furled forever,
For its peoples hopes are dead.

LIVES LOST BY THE REBELLIoN.-The
War Department computes the number of
deaths in the Union Armies since the cons
mencement of the war at $4,000, and the
Southern soldiers at2OO,OO0, making at least
$500 lives that have been lost-a part of
the costly price paid for the defense of the
nations life. At Gettysburg, $4,000 Union
soldiers were killed, wounded or taken pris-
oners-our greatest loss during one campaign.
Gen. Grants losses, from the time he crossed
the Rapidan until Lees surrender, were about
$4,000. Great as we're our losses, they we're
far below those incurred in European wars,
owing to our superior medical and sanitary
arrangements, and the care Of the Governs
ment for its troops.

at the South as popular in rebel circles there
as Petroleum " Nasby is at the North. The

spirit running through these letters

Judge Thompson on Negro Suffrage and q
Restoration ofthe Union.

We have been permitted TO peruse pri-
vate letter, written by Judge john s. Thomp-
son, some days previous to the meeting of our
late congressional convention. and though
the letter was not written with q view to
publication, we venture to make the follow.
ing extract. After endorsing the declaration
of principles promulgated by the Philadel.
phia convention, Judge Thompson says:
GAS you have known for long time, never
was in full sympathy with all the principles and
tendencies of the republican party. / regard
that party as fully committed TO negro suffrage
to which / am utterly opposed. Nor do think
southern representatives to congress, who are
loyal, should be excluded On the contrary.
think they should be admitted whenever they
present themselves. In all amendments to the
constitution, all the states should have a voice,
and the power of the majority in congress should
not be used to deprive the people of any state OF
their representation and voice in the counsels of
the nation.
Sin short, ain in favor of so adjusting the
anomalous questions of the day as TO bring har.
mony and peace to the country, and to bury for
ever the unhappy differences heretofore existing
between the north and the south"

Rock Island, A
MAJOR LAWRENCE.

1t will be recolleoted that sometime pre-
vious to the session of the joint congressional
conventions. at Monmouth. on the 25th ult.,
we made favorable mention Of the gentle
man whose name heads this article, Is our
candidate for congress. We met him, ut the
convention, and thars learned that be de-
clined to he candidate, and that he desired
the nomination of Judge Thompson, believ-
ing that be was the strongest man we could
run. Maj. Lawrence having been absent for
four years, engaged in putting down the re-
beliion, urged that his private affairs required
his attention and be could not, in justice to
himself and his very extensive farming in
terests, spare the time TO canvass the dis
trict.
After the convention, it was urged by
many who were present, that he should con-
sent to run for the legislature in Warren
county, and this he did not positively decline.
There is a very general desire that he should
consent TO be candidate. and feeling that
he would certainly be elected if he runs.
Although we are not q resident of that leg
isiative district, yet we. in common with all
the union men of the state, feel deep inter
est in defeating the diaunion copper head rad.
ioals, and for this reason we hope that be
will consent to be a candidate.
Maj. Lawrence is resident of Warren
county, and is brother of Judge Lawrence,
of the supreme court of this state, now q
resident OF Galssburg. Both are Vermont
ers by birth. Both were original free trade
democrats and Maj. Lawrence was formerly
editor and proprietor of the Vergennes Fer
monter, a democratic newspaper. For sew
eral years past, we think since 1854, he has
acted with the free soil and republican par.
ties. he is lawyer by profession, and 6
farmer by practice, having one of the larges
and most valuable farms in Warren county
He has been four years in the army, and has
made as honorable record as any man eyer
in the service.
We trust that he will abate a little of tn.
modesty which impelled him to decline being
candidate for congress, and come out as the
national union conservative candidate for the
legislature, in Warren county.

The Opposition Nominee.

We learn, with good deal of surprise, that
the convention held at Monmouth on the Oath
nominated Judge Thompson, of this
place, as their candidate for congress.
We have no personal luminosity to Judge
Thompson. Our relations, thus tar, have
been cordial. We have no desire to inter-
rupt that cordially. In our humble way,
we have endeavored to second his efforts in
behalf of the American Central Railway ;
whatever the judges decision may be. we
shall continue to 90 SO. We heartily respon-
ded to bis nomination for his present posi-
ton and labored diligently to secure his cleo.
ton. At another time, an exponent of re.
publican principles, those same principles
the judge so eloquently advocated in the last
presidential canvass, we should have taken
pride in supporting him for congress.-Ale-

The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1866-09-03

We hereby announce to our readers that Judge
Thompson is our candidate for congress-. The
following are some of our reasons for adopting
this course:
1st The extreme radical wing of the old re-
publican party have arrogated to themselves the
exclusive right to dictate Tor the entire party
This arrogance has become offensive to the in
telligent masses of the party, and has thus pro-
duced division in its ranks.
I'd, While ultra republicans have thus forsak-
en- the old landmarks of the party, the democra-
cy, as body have sacrificed their old preiudices,
and coming boldly forward, they have planted
themselves firmly upon the partially abandoned
citadel of republicanism. The only compromise
they ask is that they be allowed to retain their
old party name, while the staid leaders and mul
tplied thousands of the rank and file of the re-
publican party are required only to retain and
stand by their long cherished principles and CO
| operate with those who have cheerfully rendered
| their friendship and cooperation.
Sd. There must be found, somewhere, com
| mon rallying point around which the belligerents
of the two great leading parties shall assemble
for reconciliation and consolidation. Otherwise
| our nations distraction must eliminate in ulti
mate ruin as the inevitable result oflong perpet
uated anarchy. This rallying point we believ'
| should be sought and can be found only between
the extremes of the two parties.
| 9TH. While there are yet embraced in thu
political code and practical machinery of thu
democratic party, according to its present status
some things which we do not fully endorse, yet
upon close investigation, we find in the code an'
policy of radicalism much more folly, inconsis
tency, and inherent and operative despotsm.
| 9TH We believe the time has fully come whcl
we must lay aside the old preiudices of party al
| fliation, and act with sole reference to the pres
ervation of the Union; leaving all minor point
to be determined with reference to this grea
| end.
| 9th. We have unwavering confidence in tn
ability and integrity of Judge Thompson as tn
representative of the 4th congressional distric
of the state of Illinois, cherishing not the sghtes
apprehension that he will compromise the inter
| ests or honor of his country with the abettors @
| treason,
We might add other reasons but these wi
| suffice for the present.

ENCOURAGING NEWS.

letter from Mercer county, to the editor
of this paper, says:
''The action ofthe congressional convention
at Monmouth gives universal satisfaction here,
both to the democrats and conservative repub-
licans. The democrats will cheerfully support
Judge Thompson, and no nomination could have
been more popular with the conservatives. -
Indeed many who hold radical views avow their
determination to support the ticket. The New
Boston Herald will, in its next issue, pull down
the name of Harding and put in its place the
name of John S, Thompson, the nominee of the
National Union Convention. This is done with
out the solicitation of the Judge, or any of his
friends,
"A partial canvass of this town shows over
fifty republicans who will support Judge Thomp
son. Other towns will do equally well. Yor
can set down this county sure for Judge
| Thompson"
