A Washington correspondent, thus
analyses the remarkable Washington
despatch to the Herald of the 18th
ifTst. The sum and substance OF ii Is az
followss LIST, That the President plants
himself immovabIe on the rock of the
Constitution knowing, that as long as
he maintains his position there, it is
impregnahle, and his enemies cannot
disiodge him from it. I'd, That the
President now seizes the executive pow
ers which the constitution places in his
hand, and is determined to WELD them
with their full force. Sd, That the
President will resist removal from of
flee, If such removal is sought to- be eff
fected by the rump Congress under pre-
text of impeachment, unless he is i'm
peached for treason, bribery, or high
crimes and misdemeanors. 4th, that
the President regards the run1p Con-
gress as an illegal assemblage, and all
their acts as unconstitutional.

General sheridan

A dispatch says of General Sheri-
dams arrival i'm Washington. "He ID
the lion of the day." Great numbers
OF persons have called at his hotel to
pay their respects. He talks freely on
general subjects, but declines to dis
cuss publicly the matters at issue be-
tween the President aud himself. In
answer To question as To the probable
result of the coming election i'm Louis
ana, he replied that he had no doubt
the Convention would be carried by "a
large majority. He was questioned as to
the Confessional progress which the
colored people of New Orleans had
made, and responded that the registra-
ton list showed chat there were more
eolored people who co1id sign their
names 10 the registrythan there were
whites. General Sheridan spent sew
eral hours with General Grant. at his
head quarters, but did not visit the
White house.

War. i'm EurOpe.

A London letter just received says
that the opinion seems to gain that
there will be war in Europe next sum-
mer. There is no business, but plenty
of breech-loaders. The Bank of Eng
land does not go below two per cent,
but at that price money is not in de-
mand. Every word uttered by the
Emperor is scanned with feverish
curiosity. The ranks of the army are
full. Immense quantities of oats are
going from the north of Europe to
France. AS fast as a regiment is train
ed In the use of the Chassepot rifle it is
moved towards the Rhine frontier.
Sixty thousand men are nlassed near
Luxembourg. The new cannon, which
fires twenty balls minute and mows
down forest a mile Off, is exciting a
great deal of sensation. If half report
ed of it is true, nothing can stand be-
fore it. Then, night battles are being
organized, and night signals arranged,
SO that ii the French cannot shoot their
opponents, they can attack them with
the bayonet under cover of darkness

This platform has not been formally
drawn out in resolutions, or proclaim
ed in conventions, but III breathes
through all their speeches, prevades
their literature, and is found openly or
covetly in every column of their news
papers. 1t is the platform of despera-
ton, of mingled hate and revenge, and
unconquerable attachment to the abuses
and errors of the past. And the chief
planks in it may be described as fol-
lows:
The reputation of the national debt.
The restoration of slavery, or, if that
cannot be done, payment by the nation
for the slaves.
Pensioning soldiers widows and or
phans of the Confederate army.
Recognition of the right of seces-
sion.
And the unconditional return of reb-
els to political power.
THE BLACK CLOUD REPUTATION.
The black cloud reputation is al
ready above the horizon, it's bosom
charged with the livid lightnings of dis
honor and destruction, and it is only
waiting for breeze, to spread it oyer

The Democratic leaders of the North
intend TO make their final and desper-
ate stand for existence and power upon
that question. They will appeal to the
basest passions of the people, to their
sellishness, to the satanic temptation
of redemption from taxes, to the poor
against the rich, and to labor against
capital. They have profound faith in
the passions and vices of the people,
but none in their patriotism and vir-
tues. They believe i'm utter depravity,
and upon that found their last hope for
| life and power. at-- .... 49, -..

Att Republican meeting recently

out the occasion on which he may at.

such thing? You recollect that six
months ago Governor Swann, of Mary

the time comes, which he looks for, un-

on Gov. Swami to bring forth his milf

Congress has prescribed the terms
and methods of Reconstruction the
Generals commanding the several
Southern districts have obeyed the laws
prescribing the registration of the le-
gal voters in the several revolted States;
and elections might and doubtless
would have been held i'm most of them
ere this, but for the Intervention of An
drew Johnson and his Cabinet. They
have ordered the elections postponed
and the registries reopened, under con-
ditions which Gen. Sheridan so Justly
condemned as opening macadamized
highway for perjury. And those cleo.
tons still await the signal from Wash
inQton.
If, then, Military governments, such
as Congress has established, are despot-
ic and every way Objectionable, the
President is responsible for their con-
tinuance. These "satrapies,n as our
adversaries stigmatize them, are design
ed for gateways through which the
Southern States shall return to that po-
sition in the Union which they DELHI
erately abandoned. Not by Congress
nor by the laws, but by the Presidents
arbitrary will are those States kept I'M
der Military rule.
III those States shall not return to
their normal condition i'm season to vote
for President next Fall, let the blame
rest where it should-on the shoulders
of Andrew Johnson.-NeW York 7rib.

Our D,,tx.

The Sth of October will soon be here.
when the people of Iowa will be called
upon to decide one of the most fmpor-
tant contests yet experienced In the
history of the State, Are the RepubIi-
can voters fully aroused? we fear not.
The certainty of victory has deceived
many into the belief that prompt action
is unnecessary, that the Democracy is
utterly disorganized and defeated.
Any Republican who would reason
thus, does not read correctly the signs
of the times. The enemy are secretly
and vigorously working, not with the
Hope of electing their candidates, but
with the secret determination of de-
creasing the Republican vote, and of
strengthening theirs. With traitor
President, and the tendency of the
Democratic party towards Reputation,
and when 1t is rightly considered that
decrease in the Republican vote will
be taken by the enemy ms an evidence
that the power of the Republican par
ty is waning, the danger of inaction
must be apparent to all. We assert
that the Republican party have been
too quiet, while the Democracy have
been using every means in their pow
er and with holder assertion of disloyal-
ty have been advancing their line of
battle. The elections i'm California and
Maine, construed by Andrew johnson
as an endorsement of his policy, to re-
store the rebels to power, have already
advanced gold and paralized business all
over the country, and every honest vo-
ter in the state of Iowa who desires the
perpetuity of American institutions and
would use his influence to defeat An
drew Johnson in his efforts to seize the
Government, force the rebels into Con
grcss and defeat emancipation and re-
construction, will vote the Republican
ticket in the next election. The Cop
perheads are asserting their Infamous
falsehoods that the Republican party is
responsible for the heavy taxation,
eyading the truth that it was the sup
port which the northern traitors gave
the rebels ofthe south, that prolonged
hostilities to the Government aud in :
Cured the enormous war debt Repub-
licans. be not deceived by the issue be-
fore US. Don't remain quiet and stay
at honpe from the polls on the 9Th of
Oct. underline delusion that because
Black Hawk county Is so thoroughly
republican there is no need of recording
your vote. Every Republican voter in
the county should remember that his
individual vote counts one towards a
triumphant victory. We therefore
earnestly urge that every man go to
work with their whole might and in
fuence to secure larger republican
vote in the coming election than has
ever been polled in the State. To do
this we must work.

The County Convention.

The grand galvanized Copper pow
WOW, came off last Saturday. A large
proportion of the unwashed Democra-
cy of the county, the faithful few, the
wreck and remnant of once time hon.
ored, but now, alas! degenerate party,
assembled in Waterloo and placed in
nomination their candidates to be sup
ported on the Sth of Oct, next. The
attendance was large in proportion to
the number in the county. BY actual
count there was not less than twelve
present at any one time and these were
mostly delegates. Evidently believing
that the less said on the subject, the
better, there Were few efforts at speech
making and total absence of enthusi-
asm. The chief object seemed to be to
select their victims and then start for
home. This was no slight un-
dertaking. Few aspirants could be
found and one of the delegates suggest
ed that "any one would do for the Of
flee of Treasurer if he only wasn't a
Niger" A nominee for the office of
Treasurer was the most difficult to Sc
lect. The claims of one man were urg-
ed on the ground of having been an
apostate of the republican party and
though addicted to spreeing, he had not
been drunk for three months.
Ofthe candidates chosen, we will say
nothing, allowing them to conduct
their own funeral. These pure gems
of Democracy will learn to their sor-
row on election day, if not before, that
radical republican Black Hawk county
is republican still.
