The Daily Gazette City of Davenport Wednesday Morning July 30, 1862 Local Matters Personal.-We were pleased to see our soldier-printer friend, Wm. P. Wade, in town yesterday. He is nearly recovered from the severe wounds he received at Fort Donelson. He has recently been discharged from the service, on account of continued disability. Run Over.-A child named Foley, whose parents live on Brown street, was knocked down by a horse attached to a buggy, yesterday morning, at the corner of Second and Brady streets. The horse stepped on the child, seriously injuring the abdomen, but it is believed not dangerously. No blame attaches to the person in the buggy, as the little fellow came suddenly against the horse, and was knocked down by him before the driver could stop him. Another Resolution.-The Des Moines Register, from the files of an old treason journal published in that city, gives the following resolution passed by the Scott County Democratic Convention one year ago. They were plainer in the expression of their sentiments then than they are now: Resolved, that in our opinion the war now being waged by the present Republican Administration against our brothers of the South, is wholly uncalled for, unnecessary, unconstitutional, and antagonistic to the highest and best interests of our once happy country, and that we will use all honorable means to discourage it and bring about a peaceful solution of our present troubles. Home Traitors.-The resolution passed at the citizens' mass meeting on Saturday evening last, declaring there were secessionists, et id omne genus in our city, and the way in which they should be treated, appears to give some of our thin-skinned citizens a little uneasiness. The Democrat does not approve of any convention or set of men passing such a resolution. The time has come when things should be called by their right names, and men must learn, that if they are not with the Government in sustaining it in putting down the unholy rebellion that now threatens it with dissolution, they are against it, and are just as much secessionists as though they avowed it in so many words. When a citizen is ascertained to be in sympathy with the rebels let him be marked, say we, and treated as an enemy to his country. The kid-glove policy is just as fatal to the success of the war practiced at the North as it is at the South, and no truly loyal man will object to scorn and indignation b! eing heaped upon the head of every rebel sympathizer found in our community. Our fathers, husbands, sons and brothers are periling their lives in their efforts to suppress traitors in arms against their Government, and yet scoundrels in our midst, while fattening upon the blessings these men are fighting to secure to them, will show their sympathy for the traitors, and wish that the noble sons of Iowa may die upon the battlefield; and we are to take these miscreants by the hand, admit them to our society, and wish them well. No! shriveled be our hand, and blistered our tongue, when we become so hypocritical before God and man as to act thus toward one, whom we know to be a traitor to his country, and the society that he infests.
