A Platform.

a 1AoLAOIW'
1t is reported that the Republican Conven-
ton at Iowa City adopted the Philadelphia
Platform as its creed. We do not at all regret
this, because it will serve 10 distinguish those
who sincerely applauied NJ. Douglas for his
late manly defiance Of squatter sovereignty,
from those who merely pretended lin admiration
for him in order to produce dissension in the
Democratic ranke. We have repeatedly been
told that the Anti-Lecompton Democrats (our-
selves among the number) had "eome over to
the Republicans en- nasse," and believing that
1t made small difference by what names men
were called so that they agreed upon the same
line Of policy, we have taken no extraordinary
pains to show who had yielded their late views
to the political necessities of the hour. We
knew very well, as every man does that is not
a know nothing, that for the first time in history
the Wilmot proviso party deliberately surrcn
dered their ideas of Congressional Intervention
to the more defensible doctrine that power is
inherent in the people and that the territorial
settleysare the only proper Repositories oft; and
when they informed us that ,ce had changed
and they were occupying their old ground, We
sometimes felt like having them indicted for
obtaining princiy les under false prctcnccs-
But all these professions of attachment for
ballot-box constitution instead of a Congress
ional rrescrip ton, vanish into thin air when the
leaders discover what n complete dissolution of
their party its profession was working. 1t mat
tered not how load or how long the cry OF ''Re-
publicanism" was sounded, if the planks upon
which it WAS inaugurat.d had been abandoned
thence it was important to restore the old
issue and attempt to bring back the masses of
their followers to a theory, which just at this
time is SO effectuelly exploded as not to num-
Der votary in either branch of the National
Legislature. Every Republican member in
Congress voted with Douglas TO secure a vote

effort to get back shows the extent to which
fancied expediency will drive our o; ponents, Tut

Of the voter over the institutions under which
he is TO live, they will look with distrrst upon
those who but recently sang out Justly for
"fair vote in Kansas" and now attempt to re-
establish dogma which recognizes no power
in the people except what Congress may vouch-
safe them.
Gentlemen, Congressional Intervention" in
the settlement Of the slavery question in the

intelligence of the masses by advocating it,

Philip IT. Kennedy.

Tnlllp -. AenneOy.
Our readers are porhaps familiar with the
circumstances attending the death by drowning
at Dunleith of this man while on his way from
Vermont to 'McGregor. We have been reques-
ted to give detailed history of the events per-
tanning to it, and to indulge in some structures
upon the conduct of Dunleith officials, &C.. &c.
Upon reflection we conclude to say but = few
words, because, first, the great mass of our rea-
ders are not interested in it, secondly our paper
has no circulation at Dunleith, and thirdly
there arc two we'll sustained sides to the story
afoat as to the behavior Of the Dunleith and
Dubuque officers.
Mr.. Kennedy, our neighbor. and brother to
the deceased, feels much aggrievsd by the con-
duct Of the Dunleith authorities, and the Ex-
press g. Herald contains an article or two re.
fecting severely upon them and highly applaud
ing the Dubuque Policemen who ofliciated
in recovering the body; but the Dunleith Al-
vertiser is out in two articles, OF over q column
each, deny ing the charges of its Iowa neigh
b"rs and imputing the dissatisfaction OF. the
Messrs. Kennedy Surviving brothers) to the
Misrepresentation of the Dubuque men and the
consequent misapprehension under which the
brothers labored as to their legal rights with
the body of the deceased. The Advertiser
makes out good case for the Dunleth officers
and we hope all it says is true. Mr.. Jose hus
kennedy. for sometime resident near Nc
Gregor, is man whose statements can be re-.
lied On without hesitation. s.., rr
The deceased was accidentally drowned.--
All his money and other valuables were found
upon the body and it is therefore gratuitously
unkind. not to say mean, to insinuate that
'foul play issuspected.' Dunlcith has some
bad men about it, but it is not just or manly
to impute crime to a city where circumstances
fatty contradict the charge.
