the tickets recently nominated at Dcs
Moines by the opposing parties--wc give
both tickets because readers Of either party
want to know who they are voting against
aswcil as who they are voting for, and it is
right that a newspaper should be just to
each division of its readers. We have also
given, on the outside, condensed account
Of the proceedings of each Convention with
the platforms adopted. The readers of the
Times will pcruse both sets of resolutions
and if they have prejudice like old butter
they will see nothing but perfection in one
set and nothing but Inconsistency in the
other; tho presses Of the State already, and
the stump itineracy will shortly, tell every
body Of the infamy or balderdash of the
IMPOSITION platform and of the profound
wisdom and patriotism embodied in their
own. Not being accustomed to indulge in
raptures Of praise of our own political fam
lily or in columns of ccnsure against those
whose opinions are based upon what they
conceive to be the interests of the country,
we leave the platforms: pretty much to the
private Judgment Of those who read them,
uninfluenccd by any attempts of ours to
furnish up the one series or to black-ball
the other. One thing is sure and hereafter
it will be folly for any party to attempt a
change of the policy, and that is, No future
Congressional dictation for the government
of the Territories will be submitted to-
Both parties heartily indorsc this doctrine,
though the Republicans deemed it ncccs-
sary m their respect for the dead to go back
and compliment the Philadelphia Platform
of 80, which in its essential feature was
:. u'fImot Proviso' and nothing else. The
Dclnocraticsthcory as embodied in the Kan
sas-Nebraska Bill, for the introduction of
which Mr.. Douglas was burned in effigy and
branded as Traitor, has at length become
grounded in the epusssis Judgment as the
0Alu. proper. pokiev, and both parties are
ii to make amends for having been ihsgards.
in its adoption, now tell us that Liberty
tho Territories must not be mcddled with
by the President, the Congress or the
Supreme Court! This is the ne plus ultra
Of ''squatter sovereignty and it would he
somewhat difficult to see 10y what links the
territories are connected to the American
Government at all, if this broad rule Of in
dependence be recognized. The States are
supposed to be more or less affected in their
legislation by the decisions of the Federal
Courts but they are merely States, and it
is probably designed hereafter that the
sisters yet to be born out of the soil con-
tiguous to the Rockies shall do precisely as
they please while in embryo, have all their
expenses paid out of the National Treasury
and when they want to come into the
Union, they will dotf their bonnets, strike
IN attitude and say to Uncle Samuel,
"liere, old fellow! We want to join your
family and live with these other "g'hals" on
terms of amity, but we demand, in our
case, an abolition Of that musty old depart

Your Constitution of the U. States may do
well enough but we prefer to be our own

Our venerable Uncle would stare trifle
at the impudcnce Of the young minxes, but
upon reflection he would call to mind that
Iowa, in her Republican State Convention
of 1859, attended by her Governor, U. S.
Senator, Congressman and many members
Of her Legislature, had announced the doc
trine which the applicants for admission
were dcsirous Of carrying out We arc
delighted that the Democracy never have
wanted votes so anxiously as to lead them
to the Preparation Of such folly as this

The Homestead Resolutions are identical

The Slave-tradc resolutions are also ilcnti
al and, in our opinion, uncalled for. as there
