What the yVhig Convention Thought Of
the Democratic Platform.


The failure to include sNational Bank" and
"Protectiye Tariff in the Platform adopted
by the Wing National Convention, is conces-
sion to democratic policy, which should bring
to the democratic party, hosts of whig votes =
AS remarkable this may seem, they have
gone still farther in their concessions to demo
cratic policy and have approved of every vote
given in Congress by our candidate Pierce,
upon River and Harbor improvements For the
truth of what we say, we submit the sixth arti-
Gle Of their Platform.
"The Constitution vests in Congress the pow
er to open and repair harbors, and it is expe
dent that Congress should exercise its power
to remove distractions from navigable rivers,
,oannerer such Improvements are necessary for
the common defence and for the profession and
facility Of commerce with foreign nations or
among the States said improvements being, in
every instance, national and general in their
character
Surely this is most unex expected, but accep-
table change, if we are to take wing vores in
Congress as criterion, upon which to base an
honest judgment. To know that our whig
friends are becoming ".Nutionat and General
in their views of internal improvements, is GER
tainly greater concession to democratic policy,
than we could have dreamed of, much less hoped
for.
Certainly our whig cotcmperaries in the
West, will have no more complaints to make
against Gen Pierce, for his votes IN Congress
upon this subject. For he never v"ted against
a measure Of this kind, unless 1t contained the
very objections implied in their article.

rg That acise man of the West, Dennis, wish
es to be informed, where we obtained our lnfor-
nation, concerning reported offer of the Penn
sylvania deleg CATION, to vote for the Iowa Land
Bill, providing the Iowa delegation, would vote
for mod ,fication Of the tariff. Our information
was gathered from statement made by the Rev
J. c. Holbrook in a public meeting in this
City
We do not remember that Mr.. Holbrook con
nected the name of Judge Clark, in any manner
with that unsuccessful negotiation, and we are
quite certain, that we never did. Indeed we are
told, that both Judge Clark and Mr.. HEM re
pulsed the offer and we give them all praise fol
It. How gratutous and silly then, is it, for thi:
Patent democrat, Dennis, to drag in the name
of Judge Clark, where it has proper connec
ton and can have no effect, but to direct sus-
pcon, where it is not merlted. We acquit ou
Representatives of any blame in this matter
and if hereafter, they encounter any unjust sus
picon at the hands of the public, let them exac
redress from Dennis, of the Herald, who is thu
first and only man, that has ever breathed sus
pcion derogatory to their course and characte
in this respect.

New York, June %.

An Important arrest Of parties who had been
connected in forgeries upon the gov, rnmcnt for
several years past has Just been made.
The forgerles in land warrants and pen
sion cert fcates. In one instance fraud was
perpetrated involving loss to the government
of 5000 acres of land.
Among those arrested are Thomas Lawson,
Land Broker, Horace B. Pike, do, WIN. A
Griswold, Lawyer, and VIM. Merriam, of
Brooklyn.
Pike was previously arrested some three
months since for presenting forged check for
S., 900 a, the Bank OF the State of New York
total loss to the government will reach several
hundred thousand dollars.
When will the government be relieved from
this unprecedented system of public robbery
What are the officers of the government about,
that they allowAevery swindler in the country
to practice his schemes and tricks upon them

1rottinS Match.

On Thursday last, trottng match came OF
near this city, between Beaubien s"John' hors
and =" Sweet Brer," which is said to have dis
tanced the celebrated g June Bug of ST. Loui,
last spring. At this time they went singh
mile, which was lost by C John,' he havin
given the mare twenty rod, the start, and con
ing out five rods behind. This result, howeve
as is admitted by all, was caused by some {
Johns over. Jealous friends running up by hi
side, shouting and cheering SO as to have cause
him to ssbreak up
On the Tuesday following they made mil
and repeat match. The mare took the first has
in min., SO sec. The third heat was also wo
by John, but the exact time is not known, thong
all who witnessed it agree that it was made
less time than either of the other heats.
Considering the fact that John, five days be
fore the first match, was in no better conditio
than any other horse in Beaubien s stable wher
he has been constantly employed as are OH
carriage horscs, we venture the opinion Dl- III
time he has made, entities John to be a., pr
among the crack nags of the country. 1t
that the owners of the mare timed the he e'
each heat; and it has leaked out, bys.
chance, that his third heat, as noted by,a- :,
was made in min, 40 sec. There is rei Sc
credit this rumor, as it is now well know
they offered the Messrs. Beaubiens $5al- in
in hand for their horse 70
Query: If an unframed horse, in "po@

DE WITT CLINTON.
Arpasy ADrii C. 1910

Celebration at Decotah, Dubuque county.
Under an auspicious sky, upon the green
sward in an open wood near the village of De-
cotah, in this county, large number Of the
denizens of town and county assembled on
Saturday, July Sd, to celebrate in becoming
manner, the Anniversary Of American lndepen-
dence.
The Declaration was read in impressive
stvIe, by the gentlemanly sSchoolm.ster' of the
village, Mr.. Lambert. james Burt Esq, of
DUBUQUE, delivered the sOration' in his usual
happy manner
Alter the Grafton, about four hundred ladies'
sat down to a sumptuously spread table 'ali
under the green wood tree, prepared and set
out by the liherality OF the neighborhood. -
When the ladies had finished their repast, their
| SERVANTS the gentlemen, numbering about as
many, were amply regaled In the same boanti-
| ful manner.
After this important part of the days pro-
ceedings had been duly attended to, the evidence
| of the good cheer (which maketh the heart
| glad being visible in the pleasant countenances
| of the multitude, they assembled at the
| Speakers stand, when number Of MIR. Lam
| bert's male scholars entertained the company
with defamation on National subjects, inter
| spersed with patriotic songs by the whole school,
| sung in that pleasant style peculiar to we'll
| trained juvenile voices of both sexes.
| The defamation was particularly excellent
both in matter and manner and was highly cred
table to the pupils and their ACCOMPLISHED
teacher. While it might appear insidious to
single out any when all were so good, we
must be permitted TO say that Master james
Sharp deserved the most applause. Although
but about fourteen years Of age he spoke with
the air of veteran debater. The flashing eye,
the dilated nos,ril, the ample mouth, the deep
toned voice, the natural and appropriate ges
lures, all testify that he has the germ of fed
orator within, and needs but the sAilful cult-
vation which he now has TO elevate him, at
least "a head and shoulders above his fellows.
Take it all in all one of the visitors
must say that the whole affair was gotten up
and carried out in the best style ,and reflects
great credit upon the enterpris.ng and liberal
hearted country people who projected it.

Y OF DUBUQUE,
The Eenuett Land Bill.

The Neutral, a'jaS Guerrilla sheet at this
place and at Burlington, have each come out in
strong terms in favor of the above Bill. When
il is remembered that Mr.. Bennett is violent
whg, and that his bill is the embodiment Of the
Old Federal land distribution system, our readers
will not be surprised at the friendly salulation
by which it is greeted on the part of our neural
alias nnprincipied cotemporaries.
With renegade Democratic editors, neutrality
is always the first step towards apostacy, and
therefore, it is, that we have not been the least
surprised, at the favor with which Benefits Bill
is regarded in certain quarters.
To suppose that bill, savorng SO strongly OF
the rankest kind Of Federalism, is at all likely to
pass the Senate, would be, TO suppose an absur-
dity, according 10 mode of thinking 1t will
not and cannot pass the Senate, SO al least, we
ardently hope.
A proposition is now before the House, to
make an Omnibus bill, to include the railroads
reported favorably on for Iowa, Arkansas,
proriding that, whatever may be given for rail-
road purposes, shall be deducted from the a
mounts to which the States would be entitled
under the provisions of Benefits Bill. This
would suit us infinitely better than any such
Federal measure as that proposed by Bennett,
and endorsed by the Guerrilla sheets of this
State
Should it become impossible to secure the
de sired donations of land for railroad purDnses
than by an amagamation ofthe fiome
stead Bill and Miss Dicks, with the Railroad
Bills, such inauguration may be successful as
a derner resort, in the Senate. But be the
shape of a government donation of the public
lands what it may, we cannot relinqush the
that Iowa will be provided for, be-
fore the close of the Session.

r L. A. Thomas Esq, appears in Wed
nesday's Herald, in long article, defending
his course at the Muscatine Convention.
The Delegation will probably feel themselves
bound to set this matter right before the pub
tic, whenever all of them can be got together
Mr. Corkery being absent from town, short
delay will be necessary.
AS to the disposition of Mr.. Thomas to make
us individually responsible for the action of the
Delegation, we presume they will not feel
themselves particularly complmented and viii
do Mr.. Thomas and themselves the Justice t'
say so, over their own signatures.
Mr. Thomas anxiety for controversy with
us, cannot be gratl6ed at present, There may
be tine, when his position as Delegate to
the Convention, may require some notice.
Until that period arrives, we trust he will par
don us for our silence.
