Arrra cosside, able delay and | esits-
ton the Gasesls has concluded to con-
sider the Dsoocratic resolutions recent
lly adopted It Desmoines.
The three frat plapks Of the platform
which declare the policy Of the Democ'
sscy Of Iowa meet its approval, for .
wonder. It thus comedies 10 the out
act that there is no room tor questioning
the patriotism of the Democratic patty

rebels That 10 . brilliant idea p! San
ders should have great credit for having
made the discovery.
Arriving at the fourth resolution the
| Gazette is checked to find declaration
that an aboitionist is no better than a
.ece. siopist. If the Gazette doubts 1t we
refer it to the speeches to several Re
publican members of Congress-l'ke-
| wise to the pIatto' ms, acts and declara'
tons Of the obolitionists Of the country
from the time Of holding the Hartford
convention down to the present day.
The avowed object Of these political
cures has been to dissolve the Union.
SecessioLis,s took the same position.
Abolition Cengressmeu of the North
and secession members Of the South
we're always conniving together for the
ruin Of the cour try, and they are doing
the same thing to-day.
The Convention did declare the con-
i.ca,iou and emancipation schemes un.
constitutional, and the President has IN
effect done the same thing. We would
ssy here that when the resolutions were
drafted the news Of the Presidents veto
was not in the possession Of the Con-
ven,iop. 1t seems that Mr.. Lincoln de-
Glazed the bill unconstitutional-'he
| Convention at Desmoines did the same
thing.
In the 9th resolution our astute cotem-
porary discovers sympathy for General
Jones. We must inform the Gazette
that the Democratic Convention at Des'
moiues entertained no sympathy for any
such traitor. Mr.. Jones declares him.

The Democracy OF Iowa turn that man
over to the Republicans-the party te
which he belongs, and will have nothing

The resolution which declares tha
this Government was made for whi
men exc,tes holy holy horror in ou1
neighbo,s bosom. 1t IS not strange tho
it should. He don't admit any sucl
proposition, neither does the party t
which he belongs. He believes that
blacks are as good as he is. He CAM

the belief undoubtedly exist in NOR
minds than one.
The remainder Of the criticism upo1
the resolutions is of the same flat, stall
and improbable stripe. Not one q
them affords the least chance for o. jec.
tion tor ary loyal man. They sustain
the Cover nment 10 every particular, ant

suppression Of this rebellion.
Upon that platform the Democrac,
Of Iowa are going into the field. The,
