We have ever endeavored to treat the Journal
with frmness and courtesy in business and
personal association but article in its issue of
yesterday absolves us from all further cons dera-
tons of that nature. We shall deal with it here
after with the weapons Of its own choosing From
its own columus we have proven the Journal to be
the advocate and apologist of disunion. To Sc
cure official patronage 1t is guilty of moral trea-
son-of deserting position deliberately taken,
aud which, day after day, week after week, month
after month. it advocated with all the ability it
possessed. Now it has the mpudencc and villainy
to charge upon others treason" for expressing
sentiments less Objectionable than its own. If
ere this the editor Of the Journal would have
been hung as high as Hamln. And he probably
would have been. If his dirty and worthless carcass
was worth that much consideration.


Yesterday, in an article under the head Of
"Mobs and Treason the editor of the Journal
proves himself to be either an ignoramous or a
knave. He charges that we desire mob to ms
sault the Office" And what reason does he put
in our mouth ? quote his own words: A de-
struction of the Office by mob, "w would enable
it to from the city the ualue of the establish
ment' The editor of the Journal profes to be
lawyer. Ifhc knows anything about law, he is
we'll aware that the city is not responsible for
damages committed by mobs. Yet he seeks to
create the impression that we invite the destruc-
ton of orr office by mob .'to secure ii a sale on
good terms" 1t is good maxim, that if a man is
found false in one thing. he is unworthy Of belief
in all things. Having thus shown him to be a
great liar in one respect it is fair TO infer that he
is a =" dirty dog and great liar'' in all things.


The editor of the Journal says that his paper
only lives by stealing 1t "ste,ls" from the
the State, ard il steals from It's subscribers by
lying to them and giving them worthless trash for
their money. What else would be expected from
a mar conceived in sin He calls his associate
and his associate is goose enough to submit to
such indignities. As an Offset, We believe that
the associate reciprocates tie sentiment, and he i;
justified in doing A pretty pair of birds they
mast DE to entertain such opinions of each other
and edit the organ Of respectable party If there
ever was specimen of intensified meanness, and
Of moral mental and bodil, corruption and filth
ness, it is furnished IN the person Of the editor of
the J,urnol, the central organ of the Republican
party of Indiana.

WE alluded a day or two since to an article in
prominent New York journal (the Evening Post)
on the alleged scarcity of aborers at the West.
and the advice which it gave to the thousands out
of employment in the Eastern States, TO come
hther in the search of work.


IN a subsequent number of the Evening Post tine
subject is followed up and elaborated upon at con-
siderable length from which C are led to infer
that there is to be systematic attempt made to
foist upon the West a vast number of the paupers
of the East, to be fed, clothed. and housed during
the coming winter. The Post states that there
are MANY thousand unemployed laborers in New
York. that the almshouses are full, that the means
years. that unless something is done to relieve
the city and the Eastern States generally of these
unemployed persons, great and unparalleled suf
fering must ensne.


The remedy it proposes is to send the paupers
and tue unemployed generally to the West, where
it assures US, there is a great dearth of common
farm labor" and that "much of the fine harvest
will not be reaped in time," for the want of this
labor. The Post then goes on to discuss, at great
length. the question of providing means for
porting these unemployed labOrers TO the Western
Eiysian, fields, where their labor is so much in de-
mand.


We need not repeat that all these statements
are delusive, whether intended to deceive or not,
an. that all those who induced to emigrate to
the West in anticipation of procuring any sort Of
employment are destined to a cruel disappoint
ment. There are thousands of worthy men al
ready in the West who would gladly accept any
kind oflabor at the lowest wages, but who cannot
procure it. The crops of wheat. oats, and hay
have all been harvested, and there are plenty left
to gather the corn, dig the potatoes and feed the
hogs. Our farmers will be in poo condition to
hire extra help this fall, though hope they will
do so 10 the greatest possible extent for the sake
of their suffering and unfortunate fellow creatures
of the town and cities, who have been for so many
months out of employment. Our farmers do not
yet know where they are to find market for their
produce. and till they do so it is not probable that
much wheat will be thrcshcd or corn gathered.


We deeply commiseratc the poor of the great
Eastern cities, and people would be glad to
assist in their lief it they were in condition
do so. But such is not the case. We have ou~
own poor relieve, with little means to do

are out of employment, to the West, under present
circumstances, is to send them to certain desruct.


ion. The East is wealthy, has nearly all he spare
capital of the country, and the moneyed men there
must contribute literally to the support of the
poor and the unemployed. To attempt to throw
this burden upon the West is as mean and coward

fcently powerful to elect President strong
enough to put down rebellion.


From all this, as we'll as from the civil and
military appointments of the President, it is quite
evident that Mr. Lincoln ha. no desire to fuse "
with his opponents, and we see no cause for his
friends entertaining any such desire. The Re-
publican party took the ground that their princ-
pies were heaven-born and correct and that the
people would sustain them. Such being the case.
they obsht to be willing to go before the people
and ask for endorsement of their act instead of
seeking an alliance with Democrats.


The conflict in which the nation Is engaged is
the result of the triumph of the Republican party
and is the first fruits of their victory. IL it is pal
atable to the people, they will give evidence of it
by sustaining the President and his policy and the
Republican party will achieve all the glory, for it
will justly belong to them, and it would not be
right for Democrats to claim any portion of it for
themselves.


If. on lie other hand, the people prefer peace to
war ); an honorable compromise to conflict Of
years duration revival of commerce, trad e. and
manufactures to Che present stasnation and con-
sequent suffering, they ought to have an opportu
nifty Of saying so by voting for men holding their
own views. r


Democratic committees have no right or power
to enter into bargains and arrangements looking
TO fusion with their opponents. They were ap-
pointed for no such purpose. The people of the
North are united in a desire to preserve the I'm
ion, but 1t is idle to attempt to conceal the fact that
there is very wide difference of opinion to the
best means Of accomplishing that object-one
side believing that it is only through war and
bloodshed that the end can be attained, and the
other believing that it can better be done by the
Offer Of a compromise 10 those so lately our breth-
rem. COMMITTEES and party leaders may make
whatever" fusion - arrangements they please, bu:
these differences will still exist, and sooner or
later will find expression through the ballot oox.
1t is useless to attempt to ignore them.-Nep A.

The Republican press and orators, during the
last Presidential campaign, prophecied that the
election of Lincoln
"Will give peace and quiet to the country, of
which it is sadly in need
That all branches of industry will revive, bu-
siness will be good and wages high;''
That sit will kill off the here's of secession
fer al time to com, -


That cit will strengthen the Union, restore
confidence and friendship between the people of
the North and South -


That "he will have an economical and pure
administration, and so conduct the affairs to re-
inaugurate the times of the earlier Presidents


WHAT THE DEMOCRATS rRoPHEcIEp
The Democratic press and speakers on the other
hand, told the people that the election of Lincoln
Woald result in the disruption of the Union;
commerce


Would widen the breach between the North and
South;


Would throw the laboring masses out of EN-.
ployment;


Would bring down the price IF produce. and in
crease the taxes of the people:
And, worse than all, would be likely to create q
long. bloody. and expensive war between the sec
fions.

And watched the waves receding there;

White sails appeared far out at sea,


Like specks upon world of blue;

How calm, how clear, how silently,
We sang along the unshaded hilI

A voice was speaking evermore
In dreams, when everything was still.

Over my soul, by land or sea


The burden Of my song shall be,

1 SAD lAhuo DAD BREASTS, SORES AND TIT | 40 cERs.-All descriptions of sores are re-,ed;s

 able by the proper and diligent use of this ipest; | mabie preparation. To attempt to cure | ad leg by clustering the edges of the wound is folly. | for should the skin unite, boggy diseased cond tion remains underneath to break out with t.u ! fold fury in d few days. The only rational and successful treatment as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in about the wound and to soothe the ncighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Ointment as salt is forced into meat DIPTEERIA, ULCERATED SORE THROAT, AND SCARLET AND OTHER FEVERs.-Any of the above

 diseases may be cured by well rubbing the Oint- ment three times day into the chest, throat and neck of the patient ; it will soon penetrate and give immediate relief Medicine taken by the mouth must operate upon the whole system ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas the Ointment will do its work at once. Whe ever tries the unguent in the above manner for the diseases named, or any similar disorders affecting the chest and throat, will find thvm- selves relieved as by charm.

 PILES, FIsTULAs, STRUCTURES The above class of complaints will be removed by nightly fomsnt ing the parts with warm water and then by most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffering from these dircfnl complaints should lose Tot moment in arresting their progress. ItI should be understood that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, bus it must be well rubbed in for some considerable time two or three times a day, that

  remove any hidden sore or wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye. There again bread and water poultices after the rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service This is the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer in the stomach, or where there may be general bear ing down.

 1NDIscnErIoNs OF YOUTH, SORES AND ULCERS. | -Blotohes, also swellings, can, with certainty be radically cured if the Ointment be used freely and the Pills be taken night and morning as re- commended in the printed instructions. When treated in any other way they only dry up in one place to break out in another whereas this Oint ment will remove the humor from the system, and leave the patient vigorous and healthy be- ing. It will require time with the use of the Pills to ensure a lasting cure.

 DRops1CAL SwELLlNGs, PARALYSIS, AND STIFF NTs.--Although the above complaints differ widely in their origin and nature yet they all re- quire local treatment Many of the worst cases of such diseases will yield in a comparatively short space of time when this Ointment is dili gently rubbed into the parts affected, even after every other means have failed. In all serious malatlies the Pills should be saken according to the printed directions accompanying each box.

JEFFERSON Cry, July "a.


In the convention this morning Mr..
Mass introduced resolution to the
effect that any change in the Executive


government Of the State by the present
cdhYention, would not conduce to the
welfare Of Missouri. The resolution
was strongly debated, and finally re-
ferred to the committee Of seven chosen
to report what action this convention
shall take. Had vote bsen taken
on it it would have been lost.


After some other unimportant busi-
ness, the convention adjourned until
tomorrow morning. The convention
is waiting for the report Of the commit
tee Of seven, which represents every
Congressional district Of the State,
before taking any action. twill report
tomorrow. The State Government
in the Executive Department will be
reorganized. 1t is thought the present
incubent will be removed.


The city was thrown into a state OF
great excitement last evening at II
o'clock, owing to the pickets firing at
an officer who galloped past them not
knowing they we're there. He was not
hit. The firing summoned the troops
in the city and fair grounds to arms,
and the report got out that Jackson
was approaching the city with a large
force, which, Of course, was entirely
false.

debt thus incurred, and these parties
have either had to pay it or go to pro-

expenses thus far incurred, to enable

momentous struggle now going on for
the preservation of the Union, is unpaid,

am instructed to buy arms for the pro-
lection of our Southern and Western
frontiers, but am unable to do SO for
want of means. I anticipate further
acquisitions on this State for troops,
which must be met.


And now, men Of Iowa, under these
circumstances ! appeal to you for aid
and assistance. Your bonds cannot
be sold abroad. They must either be
sold at home, or the State must suffer
the disgrace, not only Of failing to do
her duty for the future, but Of failing to
pay the expenses already incurred
May not confidently trust that every
citizen Of Iowa will feel that his own
good name, as well as the good name
of the State, is involved in this matter,
and that will have his hearty and ef-
fectual aid? May not especially trust
that those of you, who, perhaps with
out knowing the difficulties by which l
have been surrounded, have thought
my action has not been sufficiently
prompt and energetic, will, now that
these difficulties are understood, see to
it that they shall be furnished for action
as proupt and energetic as You may
desire?


Let me earnestly entrea. every man
who has at heart the cause Of the coun-
try and the good name Of the State, to
take hold Of this matter and give me
his active assistance. Let meetings Of
our people be called, and the wants Of
the State explained to them, and if do
not wholly mistake the people Of Iowa,
they will take care that the good name
of our State shall not suffer, and will
show that those of us who remain at
home can do our duty to our country
