'gHE CHOLERA.

| There is no Disgusting the fact that there is
more or less Cholera on the Illinois and Missis-
| sipPi Rivers. 1t has lately broken out in Du-
buque with great violence, twenty five Of their
> citizens have been carried off within very few
! days.
Ewould be gratifying to the public to know
that all the nusances in this city pointed out by
the g Board of Health" have been abated, es-
pecially those which have the power of contain
mating unseen miles and miles IF the "sweet
breath of heaven" These nuisances exist in the
shape of hide houses and slaughter pens in the
heart of the city under the very windows of
the mechanic who is obliged to snuff their
odors by day, and inhale them as they en-
ter his sleeping room by night. The very earth
under and around these holes has sucked up in
the winter the blood and filth of the hides, and
refuse which has been thrown away, only to ex-
hale under our nostrils and scatter disease in
summer. Thus it IS that the pestilence gets lii
eriy to 'walk in darkness" and destruction,
dares to stalk ahead ard "waste at MONDAY"
We blush as we think the propretors of these
concerns, are willing for the sake of few PEN
MES, to deny their own manhood, and peril the
the well-being and good health Of the rest Of the
community.
If the Marshal and city authorities do their
duty, these nuisances will be abated at once and
forever. 1t is perfectly ridiculous to 60 around
grumblng about a little wet earth around sink
nose, when these Golgotha's of putrefraction are
sinking to the stars-and not word said about
them; or if the offensive matter is removed to-
day; the building is left standing over pools of
corruption, cows-tails and blood, and they are
again refIed with fresh lot to putrcfy and stink
tomorrow.

Dy the Committee OF one from each State &c
prepare a Platform, and are the same as those
presented by the Southern delegates, except the
portion in italics, which were added by the
Committee:
| The Wings of the United States in Conven
ton assembled, adhereing to the great conserva
tive Republican principles by which they are con
trolled and governed, and now, as ever, relying
upon the intelligence of the American people
with an abiding confidence in their capacity fol
seIf-government. and their devotion to the Con
stitution and the Union, do proclaim the follow
ing as the political sentiments and determination
Tor the establishment and maintenance of which
their national organization as a party was effect
ed :
FtrSt--The government of the United States
Is OF limited character, and is Conided to the
exercise OF powers expressly granted by the
Constitution, and such as may be necessary and
proper for carrying the grantor powers into full
execution; and that all powers not thus grant
ed, or necessarily implied, are expressly preserv
ed to the States respectively, and to the ped-
pie.
Second-The State Governments shall be
"clu secure 10 Their reserved rights. ard the Gen
eral Government sustained in its CONSTITUTIONS
powers and that the Union should be reserv
ed watched over as the palladium OF our ber
ties.
Third--That while struggling freedom every
where enIIsts the warnest sympathy of the Wing
party, we still adhere to the doctrines of the
Father of his Country as announced in his Fare
WE'LL Address, OF keeping ourselves free fen
all entangling alliances, with foreign countries
and of never quitting our own stand upon foreign
ground-that our mission as Republic, is not
to propagate our opinions, or to impose on other
countries our form of government by artiice or
force, but to teach, by example, and show by
our success, moderation and justice, the bless
ings of self-governmcnt, and the advantages of
free institutions.
Fourth--That, as the people make and con.
troll the Government, they should obey its Con
stitution, laws and treaties, as they would re-
tain their self respect, and the respect which
they claim and will enforce from foreign pow
erS.
Fifth" Government should be conducted APP
on principles Of The stricteSt economy, and rere-
nue. sufficient for the expenses of an economi-
cal administration of the Government in time OF
peace, ought to be derived from duty on i'm
ports, and not from direct taxation; and in lay
ing such duties, sound policy requires just dis
elimination, whereby suitable encouragement
may be afforded to American industry, equal
ly to all classes and to all parts Of the coun-
try.
Sicih-The Constitution vests in Congress
the power to open and repair harbors, and remove
distractions from navigatable rivers, sand il is
erPedient that Congress Should exercise such
pOrerS whenever such improvements are neces-
sary for the common defence, and for the pro-
lection and facility Of commerce with foreign
nations, or among the states-sad improvements
being, in every instance, national and general in
their character.

HOW H WAS EXPECTED,

The newspapers inform us that the nomina-
ton of Mr. Pierce was a mere accJcnt-the
result Of kind of spontaneous combustion
and that il took him as much by surprise as any
body else.
Politicians are harmless, undesigning set
of men. Their movements are always spon-
taneous, of course. The strangest results are
produced i'll a mostnexp Icabio manner ard they
seem willing that Providence should have the
credit of them.
Now, to men of ordinary intelligence in polit-
ical affairs, it seemed highly probable, for many
months before the Convention, that the personal
anmosities between the friends respectively of
Cass, Buchanan, and Douglas, would prevent
the nomination Of any one Of them.
Is itany wonder that certain leading politicians
of the South, in view ofthis contingency, should
have consulted beforehand with certain northern
politicians, and concocted plan for bringing
out&,neW candidate, wherever the Convention
should have been exhausted by Intellectual ballot
[ ings 3?
! Were the visit of Gideon Pillow to his old
Comrade in New Hampshire, and the alledged
consultation between Henry A. Wise, Caleb
Gushing, Panl George, and Mr.. Pierce, and the
letter of Mr.. Pierce to Major Laly on the Com
promise dated May 9th, and read by a member
of the Virginia delegation in the Convention to
his brother delegates and the letter of Mr..
Campbell of New Hampshire, formerly editor
of the Pitsburg Recorder,) also read to these
delegates vouchng for his centre soundness,"
and the adrot transfer of the Virginia vote
to Mr.. Pierce, after breaking the shoc, by light
ing upon Mr.. Dickinson in its way, (who, it was
well understood, could not be nominated,) and
the adhesion of Georgia and North Carolina, af-
ter a lapse Of time sufficient to preclude the APP
pearance of concert-alI accidents-the effects
of spontaneous combustion
Pshaw 1t is not worth while to presume too
much on the greatness Of the great Public.

ENDECAFEYE.


The prospect in this county is already bright
and clear. The position of the two leading par
ties on the platform Of Slavery in opposition to
freedom leaves the tried and true friends of the
democratic principle no choice in their course.
The Independent voters of Kenosha, Walworth
and Racine counties, who, for the last four years,
have triumphed upon the free soil Issue, have
no occasion to change their politics without rea-
son. Having embraced the doctrines of the
founders of the Republic on the question Of hu.
man freedom, they see no reason to abandon
theiE position, because the invention of the cot
ton gin enables southern slay eholdcrs to grow
rich on the unpaid toll Of slaves
The vote OF the united friends of democracy,
as opposed to hunkers and abcttors of slavery,
will be larger than ever before. In our inter
course with the farmers and laboring men we
hoar but one sentiment uttered and that is, that
they intend to adhere to sheir principles as here
toiore, and vote only in accordance with the spr-
it and tenor of their often expressed resolutions
rs they have been passed a; county ana district
conventions.
The organs OF the old hunkcrs arc beginning
the brag game, in order to intimidate the weak
and unstable, by saying that everybody, especial
ly Of the free soil party, arc going for Pierce
and King. It is a work Of superorogation to de-
ny it at home, for every one can see through
the flimsy pretaxt and the reason for sticking to
it. The fact IS, the oil bunker vote, which has
heretofore been about one-tenth of the free soil

/ The cause of the mastery efficiency of
the slayocrats in Congress, and in all Conven-
tons, must be sought in their peculiar system of
political managing We shall alIudc to but one
specimen. When the South have elected man.
to the House or Senate, and he faithfully repre-
sents their interests they keep him there till he
has learned the system of parliamentary tactics
which they know how to use with such power
as to always out-gencraI the North and instan-
ces are well known where their members have
served like Benton and King, and others who
might be named, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty and
nearly forty years. This gives the key to the
secret of their managing the prelnnaries and
"Preyious questions with such determined sue
cess. Let the North learn to initiate them in
this particular, and they will have less occasion
to regret their frequent defeats on the floor of
Congress. The masses of the people should
see to these things, in order that ambitious and
unprincipled Ioafers, who have no ends 20 sub
serve bat their own private interests, should not
thrust themselves forward to the detrment the
rights OF lreemen, and the rreparab.e damage of
the democratic cause.
