REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
An ORIGINAL TRAITOR,

The Democracy, of Iowa. at their
convention, on the 2lst ult.. took up
the thread oftheir discourse just where
they dropped it during the intensity
ofthe war excitement in 1861. 1t will
be recoilected by old residents that
Charles Mason, the present Democrat
ic nominee for Governor, was nomi-
mated by the same party for the same
Office in 1861, but the more moderate
portion of the party being at that time
in control, he was induced to resign
on account Of lis bitter disunion sen
,iments, and Gen. Tuttle was placed
on the track, only to be most cffectu-
ally slaughtered. Claggett, Of keo-
kuk, one of the recognized leaders Of
the Democracy, thus spoke Of Mason
in 1861:
1t is well know,s&hat, within three months.
lie has declared that he could settle our nstional
troubles in twenty days; and when requested to
state how he would settle them. he answered: ::
would withdraw the army from the field and
acknowledge Southern Independence y The
acknowied cement Of southern independence by
the National Government is dissolution Of the
Union. Hence, Judge Moson IS disunisnisL To
be disaaionist IL to be traitor 70 the National
Gorernaeat and to be dieloyal is to be no dem
ocrat. Democrats, therefore, are under no obi
gs,ions to vote for Judge Massn; but the
contrary by voting for him for Governor, they
will endorse his disunion sentiments, and there
BY be justly chargeabie with being disunionists
the mselves."
Thus by the acknowledgment Of
the very men who now support him
tfor Clsggett now heartily su.tains
him) Charles Mason is traitor to
the National Government" He GER
tainly gave every assistance possible
texcept the exposure Of his precious
skin upon the battle field) to the ene-
my during the war, and the Demo
Gratis in now taking him up, clearly
demonstrate that the extreme rebel
wing Of their party has once more Sc
cured its control. The Dubuque Her
aid now gloriesi in a complete triumph.
1t has always professcd disgust at the
guerilla warfare adopted by the party
since Mason's resignation in 1861, and
i, now chews its cud with placid
content at the prospect Of genuine,
honest Waterloo defeat. 1t is content
TO die, il! only the rebel flag wave over
it's head.

The Democracy of Iowa now fairly repre-
sent the aristocracy which frs. established
itself at jamestown and gradually extended
itself through the whole South, as the coun.
try advanced, until its final contest with the
defenders Of Liberty, resulting in its over
throw. The Republicans of Iowa are on the
contrary the champion, of the plebi,ic doc.
srine of individual rights, which favors no
man, is just to all men and grants to all men
equal rights and privileges. No wonder the
former find il impossible to popularze their
ideas in progressive Iowa, while the latter
are gaining more completely than ever the
confidence of the people. 1t only remains
for Republicans to carry their principles to
their logical sequence BY abolishing the aris.
tocracy Of sex as exhibited in our government.
in order to render perfect the great temple Of
freedom whose cornerstone is Plymouth
Rock.

ATTACHMENT TO WIFE-Daniel Webs
s.er once said There is nothing upon
this earth which can compare with the faith.
ful attachment Of q wife no creature who.
for the object Of her love, is so indomitabie,
so persevering, so ready to suffer and die.
Under the most depressing circumstances.
woman's weakness becomes mighty power,
her timidity becomes fearless courage, all
her shrinking and sinking passes away, and
her spirit acquires the irmness of marble
adamantine 6rmness-when circumstances
drive her to put forth ali her energies under
the il spiration Of her affections
Very true and vet with all her wonderful
courage, mighty power, and adam anine
6rmness under the most trying circums.an.
ees, she is treated BY man as unworthy tie
simplest and most natural political rights,
and is placed inexorably under the ban o.
political prescription. 1t is easy to laud wo-
man to the skies, and to prate Of her admi,
rable qualities, but really OF what use is i,
to her so long as we restrain her from exer.
cising her higher powers whore they would
most effectually and benefcently tell upon
the great interests Of mankind I?

Iowa has the boldest, most independent and
most enterprising country press in the Unit

amount Of support it receives, as to the
character Of the men who control it. In.
stead Of settling down into the well worn
ruts Of eastern Journalism, they push for
ward under the inspiration Of the spirit of
progress everywhere manifested around
them, enlarge and improve their papers,
lead the van in the advocacy Of liberal opin-
ions and just theories, and stand boldly up
on their own feet, owning their own souls.
and declaring their own opinions. For all
this, they are conscious that their pecuniary
salvation rests with the public, and We re-
peat that their position is slavish one, and
it is particularly the duty of those who ia.

life-time, and with every prospect Of complete
success. As chairman Of the suffrage CON-

Apprehended Political Troubles in
Tennessee.
TDispatch to the Baltimore Sun

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Among the
matters that General Thomas was called
here to advise upon, is the condition of af-
fairs in Tennessee. It appears that some
weeks ago Governor Brownlow enquired Of
General Thomas whether the State author
tiles could rely upon him General Thorn
as) for protection in case Of difficulty dur
ing the coming political contest, and
whether there would be a sufficient
number Of federal troops under his COM
mand to quell disturbances, etc. General
Thomas replied that the federal troops
could be relied upon for that purpose, that
the requisite force would be on hand, &c.
In the meantime, however, Governor
Brownlow has proceeded to call into active
service State military force. Petitions
have been sent to the government here
asking for federal protection from the al
legged threatening of tyranny and usurpa-
ton of the State government.
The petitioners say, already the threats
of Gov. Brownlow have filled with terror
and alarm the people and aw-abiding citi-
zens. No freedom Of opinion is to be tole-
rated but at risk Of life and limb They say
the consistent and unfaltering Union men
desire that General Grant shall send suf-
6cient federal force to protect the people
from the threatened assaults.
Upon consideration Of those petitions the
administration determined to send for Gen
eral Thomas and consult with him as to the
actual condition of affairs in Tennessee
The matter was considered in cabinet, and
it was determined to have in readiness
such force as might be necessary, General
Thomas to have full power to act ID the
premises as in his Judgment may seem best
for the public peace and welfare Of the cit
liens Of Tennessee.
