IL toc IOWA DEMOCRACY nave uOne t0iS-
which We gravely Doubt is evidence sim
ply that they have been thrashed too many
times on the bred Scott platform to venture
upon it in fresh campaign. Hunger is a
sharp spur to invite the faculties. There is
not an Iowa Democrat in any State Office,
nor in either branch of Congress. Each
successive election puts them further from
the public crib. Under such circumstance,
they might be excused for throwing tub to
the popular. whale, by planting a blow in the
face Of the Supreme Court. Yet We shall
not believe they have done 80 bold thing
until We see it in their own platform in
black and white Chicago Press and Tri6-
une.
The Iowa Democratic Resolutions do not
in so many words bear out the statement OF
the Pre- s. s. Tribune correspondent; but
they came remarkably near to it. This il
wha. they say Of Popular Sovereignty -
That inasmuch as the legislative power OF
the Territories extends undeniably to all
rghtful subjects Of legislation, no power
can prevent them from passing such laws on
the subject Of Slavery as to them may seem
proper" This certainly is direct wipe at
the L. S. Supreme Court, which has deciar-
Legislature have the power to PROFIT Slave
ry in the Territories. They also further de-
clare that "'the Supreme Court Of the United
being under the Constitution an independent
CO. ordinate branch Of the Government, with
term Of Office which cannot be changed by
the action Of parties through the instrumen
tally Of Congress, ", hold the Democracy
entirely irresponsible for its doctrines, and
in no case conc!usively bound by the same,
except SO far rs to inculcate obedience tu its
decisions, while they are in force"
The People Vt Iowa on the one hand, and
the Democracy Of the Slave oldiDg States
on the other, are the Scylla and Charybdis
Of the politicians who framed these resolu-
tons They were evidently intended to have
just Popular Sovereignty enough in them to
please the Douglas men, and barely sufficient
bred Scottish not to drive away the Buchau-
an men. A.a whole, however, the Douglas
ties have the Platform, and the Buchanltcs
the Ticket. How this half horse, half ali
gator style Of Democracy will flourish in
Iowa, is question for the future to develop.

From the Gold Mines.
Capt. L. Nuckolls reached home yesterday,
(July S. lie left the mines on the 18th ult.
Consequently he made the trip in about thr-
teen days, and brings the latest news yet
received from the mines.
10 regard to the Gold Mines Capt. y. lost
no opportunity Of obtaining all the reliable
information possible. His extensive ac-
quain.ance with the pioneer gold seekers,
aud his frequent intercourse with them, gave
him unusual facilities for acquiring correct
Information. Being entirely disiuterested,
we feel satisfied his statements are nearer
truth than any thing yet published.
lie says it was estimated that 90, 200 per-
sons were ut the mines. OF this humber,
not more than ons in fire hundred was max
ing good wages. Tho majority were not
paying expenses. The number who are ma
king extraordinary wages is limited to a
very few. He does not think the entire
amount of gold taken out this season, thus
far, exceeds twenty thousand dollars.
Between Cache la Poudrc and the crossing
Of the South Platte, he passed about 100
teams returning home. Most OF the persons
accompanying these trains had visited the
mountain diggings; but failed to meet with
sufficient encouragement to induce them to
rcmdlu.
The statement of Horace Greeley and 9th.
ers was undoubtedly made in all candor and
honesty, but was greatly exaggerated, in
consequence Of impositions rracticed upon
these by interested parties. lie thinks, in o
very few instances, $3.50 to 5000 have been
taken out Of certain claims in day but:
these instances are exceedingly rare.
His advice to all who cohtcmpla emigra-
ting to the mines is to wait further develop
men,s. Next spring will be time enough to
start, if the news should continue favorable
Those who 60 now will in oil probability
have cause to regret 1t.
The soldiers, at Fort kearney have all
been ordered to Salt Lake, and tina. post is
now deserted.
A company Of soldiers, stationed beyond
the Fort. for the protection Of cmigranss,
lost ninety horses BY stampede, few days
ago.
He confirms the reports Of the Indian hos
tilities, and the burning of the Pawnee viii
