Sill They Come.

Gg- The Iowa City Reporter, hereto
fore one of the most able and influential
Democratic papers in this State, for
many years the central organ of the par
ty, has come out for LINCOLN and HAM
LIN. Mr.. HARRISON, the proprietor,
gives the announcement in the following
paragraph
after mature deliberaton, l have arrived
at the conclusion that | cannot give my assent
to the platform of either wing of the late Dem
ocratio party, nor longer yield my support to
Stephen A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson
as candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of the United States therefore
announce to the readers of this paper, and the
pnblic generally, that the names of Douglas and
Johnson will no longer remain at the head of
our columns, and that hereafter the columns of
the Reporter will be devoted to the dissemination
of Republican principles, and the advocacy of
the election of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal
Hamln, the candidates of the Republican par
ty for President and Vice President of the Uni
ted States
Ny reasons for the change thus announced,
will be given next week, at which time | hope
to be able to announce the name of the future
editor of the Reporter, with such other informa-
ton in relation to the business of the office, as
the necessity of the case may require.

What Popular Sovereignty has Done

Stephen A. Douglas. the Northern Democrat
10 candidate for the Presidency, and the great
apostle of Popular Sovereignty, in the Senate
of the United States on the 10th day of May
last, states the results of bis doctrine to have
been as follows
Under it the people of New Mexico have in
troduced and protected Slavery in the whole of
that Territory
Under it a tract of free territory five times as
large as the State OF New York has been con-
ycrted into sL0ue territory
Under it Slavery has been extended from the
Rio Grande to the Gulf Of California
Under it Slavery has gone as far North as 38
degrees North latitude, degree and half far
ther n orth than the South ever asked that it
should go.
1t has converted the only inch of free terrific
ry to stare territory that has ever been con-
vertel on the American Continent
WHAT MR.. DOUGLAS EXPECTS IT TO DO.
"If il be true he said, q that this principle
Of intervention has given 10 slavery all
of New Mexico which was surroun led on near
Is every side by free Territory, will not the
same principle Protect You in the northern
States of Mexico when they acquired, since
they nre now surrounded by slave territory
are several hundred miles further South have
many degrees Of greater heat and have eli
mate and soil adapted to Southern produc
tions :"

Why the Conceaimcnt
Gg- Our neighbor of the Civilian p

Eg- Our neighbor of the Civilian pub
fishes in his last paper, Mat purports to
be the platform Of principles Of the Doug
Is wing of the Democracy. If we are not
mistaken he has published it more than
once, aud each time in the same form in
which il appeared last week In this
:o,n II is repeatedly published by Dem
oclatic presses al The North, and palmed
off upon their readers as the platform
upon which Mr.. DOUGLAS and Mr.. JoHN
SON are runnngas candidates for election.
But it is not the platform Of the Couyen-
ton which at Baltimore nominated Mr..
DouGLas. II is only part Of it, and we
want TO know why our neighbor publish
es one part and suppresses the other ?
We want to know Why he insists upon
keeping back what Is considered, and
justly SO, very important resolution in
that platform. and claiming The remain
der as the declaration of The principles
of his party ? We want to know why
both he aud other Democratic editors
have a: the north so persistcntly over
looked the resolution offered al Baltimore
By Gov. WJcKLIrFE, Of Louisiana, and
incorporated into the platform by the
unanimous vote OF the Convention ?
Does our neighbor not know what his
platform really is or is he afraid to LET
his readers see the whole of il? or is he
going to publish il in installments ? 1t
is asserted that the resolution which is
SO generally oyerslaughed waa deemed Of
so much conse quence az to be the sub
iect OF consultation between Mr.. DouG-
LAS and Mr.. SouLE; and Coy. WIcKLIEFE.
in Offering it, declared that it would give
The DOUGLAS ticket 40, 900 votes in Lou
isiana 1t was therefore considered a
matter Of some moment-an essential
part Of the platform-at Baltimore, and
we should like to know why here at the
North it is not considered worthy Of
publication. Perhaps we may find out
by an examination OF the resolution IL
self. II is as follows:
Resolrsd, That il is in accordance with the
true Interpretation of the Cincinnati platform,
that during The existence Of tie 1erritoral Coz

From the census returns which have
been already returned at Washington, it
is estimated that the population of Hi
nois numbers 800. 900, against 85l 600
in 1885, On basis of one Congress
man to every 10000 inhabitants, this
would give fifteen members of Congress
to that State instead Of nine as at pres
ent.
On the night Of the 2lst inst, a splen.

Brooklyn. 1t presented the appearan &c
of two balls of fire, each with tail and
almost joining each other. The meteor

1t was remarkably brilliant affair, anG
attracted much attention.
Yesterday two "solid men, from the
East passed through our city on Their
way into the interior of the State, for The

cheap lands, and that several of thei
neighbo would be out in the fall will
money to invest in a like manner.-Du6

j. w. Cattell, Auditor of State, in an
swer to the inquiries of several Count,

which he is sustained by Attorney Gen

taxes should be charged and collected a
the rate of 25 per cent, up to the lst o
July. and after that date at the rate of /.
per cent. per annum, or at | per cent pei

A Mistake.

lF- Last week we noticed the fact
that the West Union Review, heretofore
neutral, would be changed to political
paper, and stated that although the ar
ticle gave no indication of the course it
would take, We thought it would hoist
the names of Lincoln and Hamln. 1t
seems we were wrong, however, in our
surmise. Instead of supporting. as we
hoped, Republicanism, is has raised the
Douglas and Johnson flag. We entirely
overlooked the fact, well-known to us be.

been democrat, and is now the census

The Prospect of Prices.

EF Our farmers need not only con
graduate themselves upon the glorious
prospects of the incoming crop, but up
on the aattering evidence presented of a
good market, at least for wheat. While
our own State is blessed with bounti
full harvest, the drouth which has pre-
vailed in other sections Of the country
will bring the aggregate yield of The
country down 10 the general average
Kansas and Missouri will have no sur
plus, but will have 10 import. In The
Southern States the crop is short, and
but little more than sufficient for loca
consumption. The season has been {
very unfavorable one throughout Europe
and the Continent will raise nothing for
export. England is always a large i'm
porter, and this year will demand more
than usual So unpropitious has the sea
son been that the London Times makes
prophecy of famine. This want Amer
lea mus! satisfy, and the supply vii
come from the great granary of the
West. Prices, therefore, cannot fail &c
be well sustalned-must prove renumer
alive. Without this, our great harvest
would not be SO much subject of con
graduation, because it is not always that
large crop is attended with the mos
profit. With the existence, however, Of
such state of things, full granaries can
not fail 10 bring us great prosperity.

False Weights.

EIE 1t has for sometime been myste
ry to the grain buyers at this point and
at Dubuque, how it was that prices for
grain ruled SO much higher at McGregor
than they themselves could afford to pay,
according to Chicago quotations. Far
mers from the North gave abundant evil
dence that McGregor prices were from
FIVE to Ten cents better than here, and
generally several cents greater than at
Dubuque, and many in the northwest in
consequence were induced to 90 many
miles farther to reach McGregor than
they would have been compelled to go in
reaching this market. The Dubuque
Times of Saturday gives solution of
the mystery. 1t seems that during all
this time these McGregor men have been
using false weights, so that they have
been getting seventy pounds of wheat for
every bushel, causing loss on the side
of the seller of nearly one sixth Of each
bushel The Times learns that all the
grain buyers, except three, in Nc Gregor
have been arrested and are under indict-
ment for the outrageous swindle. This
discovery cannot fail to bring large
amount of grain to this point from re-
gion which has heretofore shipped to
McGregor.
