State Policy next receives the considerable
Of the Convention. Here the richest vein
platform.msking crops out. The workmaRsh
Of that ardent Visginian, Ben n. Samuels,
impressed upon this portion of the poiitic
fabric reared last week. Samuels is still
mortal fear Of the corruption Of bis childreI
BY an association with woo'ey heads. No lei
| than fue resolutions, out Of eight a-e devote
to the execration of the Eve hundred African
who have their abode in the State Of Iowa.
This part Of the platform he . rehash Of Samuel
speech two years since, and that memorabl
letter Of Henn, predicting . stampede Of dar
kies to Iowa, as the consequence Of adoptin
the New Constitution. The predictions OF chi
noble pair Of prophets having exerted such
powerful effect, and received such literal fu6
msnt, 1t g ct and proper that the prophe \
spirit should be again invoked. But, to pro
ceed in order:
!. The first resolution Of econd series, de
ciares that the increase of State taxation cali
loudly for reform. The only trouble with thi
resolution is, that il is contradicted BY th,
facts and figures, which show a steady diminu
ltion Of Taxation for State purposes for tw,
years past.

gro," No. i.
aged the immigration Of the '.uncOuth, semi
barbarian negro 10 Iowa. How, when. where
ls not stated; the assertion being deemed sufi
cient to answer all purposes.
4. Thrust No. 8 ~ the "uIcouth, semi-harba
rian negro" who is regarded as seeking knowl
edge under many difficulties, it being deemed
desirable to exclude him not only from the
schools Of the whites, but even from tie bene,
hts Of separate school. Having been re.
solved into chattle by the Supreme Court, i,
ia, to say the least, work of supererogation,
70 teach him to read that book which seems 70
recognise bis humanity, and his right to bis own
body and soul. @ -
g. Demands stringent law for the exclusion
OF blscks from Iowa. The experience of In.
diana and Illinois having shown the folsy WI
such legislati0n-each OF these States having
~ "uncouth, semi barbarian negro citizens,
where Iowa has one,-the latter isssxpected
20 follow Their example. Kick at Cuffee No. 4.
The poor fellows shins must be sore by this
time. Visions Of Congo Africans certainly dis
turb the dreams Of the S6Sm Democracy.
and 8. An onslaught upon the Educational
System engrafted upon the State Constitution,
BY J. 9. Hall, Of Burlington, Ed. Johnston, and
other distinguished Democrats, who though.
that that system ought to provide FOR every hu-
man being within its limits. As this system al a
feature OF the Constitution have neyer been e.
pecial faToritas with the Republican, We feel
under no obligations to take issue With the pro-
position Tor remodeling them II. toto. The ease
stands tLas:--The Democratic Convention vs..
Hall, Johnston Go. Pitch in gentiemen.s No.
denies the right of "uncouth, sem barbarian
negroes to any OF the benefits OF an educa-
tional system. So
T.. Denounccs the Temperance law Of tie
State. As it was not parti1an iils origin, and
has never entered into the Republican platform.
We leave the issue between the Convention ana
the friends Of Temperance. -
Reader, the platform Mthe Democratic Con

Last Saturday We published the names Of the

and the Platform adopted on the occasion. We
again express our eradication that SO admira-

Iowa For Governor, 10 have no choice arer
Senator Kirkwood, altboagh We sustained The
party policy OF re-nominating Gov. Lowe If he
desired the position, as be has done his duty
faithfully and ably, saEd has suffered much
abuse from his opponents for doing his duty,
Gov. Lowe retired from his position before the
the Convention, as candidate, tand Mr.. Kirk
wood was nominated by acclamnation. We
need not say that no AbleP nor stronger man
could have besn nominated by the 4nerrbliean

ton thoroughly canvass the State. u As merar
Der Of the Senate of the Iswa LegislaturS
Mr.; Kiskwnod assumed leading positj0n, and
made himself known throughout TIE State for
his high ability. As trae representative Of
Republican principles, and as able and Jealous
an advocate Of them as there is in the State Of
Iowa, Mr.. Kirkwood will receive as - deserves
the full vote Of his party. He is from johnson
