The Republican party, in the platform
adopted by the Convention which nominated
Lincoln, declares it's unfsltering devotion to
the Union. The Bell and Everett party swear
by the Union, and nothing else. Douglas
says that he and bis followers are the special
champions and guardians of the Unioa.--
Breckinridge devotes goodly portion Of bis
letter and speech, accepting the nomination,
to declaration of bis steadfast adherence to
the Union. Sam. Houston always was Ia
favor Of the Union.
Thus, we think, with oil parties publicly
pledged in favor of the Union, we may re-
gard that tender bantling of the demagogues
rs comparatively safe for the next FIVE years
notwithstanding the conditions upon which
Herschel V. Johnson's Georgia supporter,
base their advocacy of the union of th,
States.

Breaking Land I'm rorshern iowa.
A person who travels over Iowa ut this
season OF the year, will be assonished at the
amount of land broken this year. Thequan-
tlty ia probably double that OF any other year
since the beginning of settlement IN this
State. Ii 10 said that two thousand more
acres have been broken Within three miles of
Earlville, Delaware county, than was broken
last year.
In Franklin, Hardin, Hamilton and other
young counties west OF the Cedar Valley,
great preparations are being made for SOW
Ing and planting another spring. During
the month Of June we visited cen or twelve
counties in this part of the State, and break
ing seemed everywhere to be the order of the
day. Probably there 10 no county in North
ern Iowa viii Oh will not far ontdo this year
the breaking business of any former year
He who looks upon the vast fields of wheat,
corn and oats now ripening, and the great
preparations being Oade for another year,
will hare high hopes Of iowa.-IDubuque

Iowa Crops.-- Prospective Prices.
Ii does one good, at least it does us good,
TO travel up the country and see on every side
as far as the eye can reach, the broad ex.
panse of growing crops.
The wheat, though not so good, probably,
as in some former seasons, 10 nevertheless
passable crop, and the large extent of ground
covered by wheat, far exceeding that Of any
previous year, will insure greater yield of
grain for export than ever before. And as
to corn, there never was anything to COM
pare to the present prospect in this State
The whole country seems bat success
sion of cornfeids, and the corn is in most
admirable conditions large portion of it
being in tassel, and as a general thing well
worked and free from weeds. Hogs, too,
seem about as numerous as ever, and of a
quality far superior to those Of last season !;
and we presume the stock is indeed superior
to that OF any previous season and will turn
out larger and fatter hogs on short feeding
than ever before.
The only crop which seems at all behind,
the present season, is grass; but in view OF
the large quantity of old hay and the album
dance of substitutes, that appears to be re-
garded as a matter of minor consequence.
But as heavy crops are not all that is re
CURED for the prosperity of the farmer, we
are glad to see that the prospect isvery fiat.
tering for high prices, the realization Of
which cannot fail to cover the State with
blessings and benefits. On this point thu
United States Economist which is regarded
as high authority in the matter says;
II tits not always that large crop in th
country is attended with large profit TO tn
farmer. One condition il necessary 10 or
der TO the realization OF large gains from al
abundant crop viz; that there be deacienc

DOu9aAs Dortrtne Here and There.
The Douglas Democracy Of Iowa profess
to be rather opposed to the extension Of
slavery, or, at the worst, ssdon't care whesh-
or 1t els voted up or voted down." The
Douglas and johnson Democracy of Geor-
gia, however, seem to care good deal about
it. The Southern Contederacy, which is
the leading exponent and advocate of Doug
las and johnson in Georgia, sets forth it's
faith in seven propositions, of which the fol-
lowing are portion:
8. We are fora perpetuation of the UNION,
provided the neutrality laws, the compro
mise measures OF 1850, and all subseQue
compromises are repealed.
A. We are for the repeal Of the restric-
tions upon the African slave trade, regard.
less OF its construed mpolicy by Northern
fanatics and Southern submissonists.
s. ~ If thes,
restrictions and compromises can be wipet
from the Statute Book, and the Government
administered 10 it's original purity, with
strict regard to economy and retrenchment
We hope to see the Union preserved !; in de
fault Of which we are emphstically and une
quivocally for disunion.
Z. We are opposed to the acquisition {
any more territory until the African sla,
trade is re-opened, and the immediate ga
and enslavement of all free negroes that al
found within the limits Of any Souther
States, after specified time to emigrate.
On condition that all compromises al
repealed, that all free negroes are sold in'
slavery, and that the African slave trade
re-opened, the Douglas and Johnson men I
the South are in favor of the Union. Tbt
ing to his own statement, he has done mo-
to increase the area Of slavery than any mt
living.

Douglas, Endorsement of tho MAS
sOurs Coma pr 0mtse.

D@uEEA9s En0 2mGnA DF inc
soura COmpromtse.
In the year l84S Stephen A. Douglas made
a speech In Springfield. Illinois, Of which the
following is an extract:
"The Missouri Compromise had an origin
akin to that OF the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States. conceived in the spirit of frater-
nal affection, and calculated to remove for
ever the danger which seemed TO threaten, at
come distant day. TO sever the SOCIAL bonds
of union. All the evidence of public opin-
ion at that day seemed to indicate that this
Compromise had been canonized in the hearts
of the American people as q sacred thing,
which no ruthless hand would ever be reck-
less enough TO disturb"
And, again, in 1850, on the 18th Of March,
he made speech in the United States Sem
ate in which he not only defended the Mis-
souri, Compromise, but boosted that Con-
gress intsrpened on his motion to extend
that line and to prohibit slavery in Oregon.
Senator Douglas, in reply to Calhoun, said !:
aThe next in the series Of nggressions
complained of by the Senator from South
Carolina is the Missouri Compromise. The
Missouri Compromise lie an act OF Northern
injustice, designed to deprive the South of
her due share of the territories Why, sir,
il as only on this very day that the Senator
from Mississippi despaired OF any peaoeable
adjustment Of existing difficulties, because
| the Missouri Compromise line could not be
extended to the Pacific. That measure was
| originally adopted In the bill for the admis-
sion OF Missouri, by union OF Northern and
| Sc uthern votes. The South has always pro-
| fessed TO be willing TO abide by it, and even
| to continue it, as fair and honorable ad-
| iustment Of vexed and difficult question
| Iu 1S45 it was adopted IN the resolutions for
the annexation of Texas, by Southern ms
we'll as Northern votes, without the slightest
complaint that il was unfair to any section
of the country. In lS47 it received the sup.
port Of every Southern member of the House
| Of Representative Wing and Democrat
without exception, as an alternative measure
to the Wiimot Proviso. And again IN ls4s
as an amendment TO the Oregon bill, on m,
m otion, it received the vote, il | recollec
right--and do not think can possibly b.
mistaken--of every Southern Senator, Whil
and Democrat, even including the Senate
from South Carolina himself, MIR. Calhoun.
And vet we are now told that this Is onl
, second TO the ordinance of l7sT 10 the SO
ries Of aggressions on the South"
And NOW, we are told by Douglas himself
: that "intervention," Congressional prohibi
ton Of slavery, "means disunion."
