A SUBJECT FOR CoNTRovERsY.-On the
18th of March, the British ship Emily St.
Pierre was captured off Charleston by our
blockading squadron, prize crew put on
board, and the vessel despatched to Pha.
delphia for an Admiralty Court declsion.-
While thus proceeding, she was ingenious
" seized by her former Captain, and taken
to Liverpool.
The questions at issue is the fact that
the Captain Of the St. Pierre had no war
rant in maratime law for resuming posses
sion of his ship while on its way to our
Admiralty Court, which had yet to decide
upon its innocence or guilt. Were the
powers belligercnts, then the act Of the
Captain, would be no offense Of law, but
as a neutral vessel it was bound to submit
without opposition to the judgment of a
prize court.
A contemporary remarks upon another
phase Of this affair as follows:
"After an act Of war, namely, the con.
fning and wounding Of those legally in
charge Of the vessel, = lieutenant and sail
ors Of the American navy were carried Al
prisoners of war into neutral port. This
phase of the transaction has no circum
stance justifiable under international law
1t is unqucstionably an exceedingly neal
little bit Of business but it will requir'
from England reparation as complete ant
satisfactory as that we frankly rendered il
| the ms lance Of the Trent"

Our Platform.
In thse days Of platforms, party organi-
cations, ETC., when every third man has got
specific for all our national discords, the
public mind is apt to get confused and re-
gard lightly the necessity Of consolidated
conservatism, to carry the good ship Of
state safely over the disunion reefs.
About one year ago, Congress by nearly
unanimous voice passed the following res
olutions, as an authoritative platform Of its
principles in the present crisis. We pro.
pose this platform as good and true basis
for the Union War Party Of Iowa, and that
the conservative men Of Iowa who can
unite upon that, hold State Convention
some time during the present summer and
rc.affirm these principles, first inviting
all warning factions to lay down their weap.
ons and join the good work:
'.Rcsolced, That the present deplorable
civil war has been forced upon the country
by the disunionists Of the Southern States,
now in arms against the Constitutional
Government, and in arms around the Cap.
ital; that in this National emergency, Con.
grcss banishing all feeling Of mere passion
or resentment, will recollect only its duty
to the whole country; that this war is moi
waged on their part in any spirit Of opprcs
sion, or for any purpose Of conquest o.
subjugation or purposes Of overthrowinl
or interfering with the right or establiset
institutions Of those States but to defene
and maintain the supremacy Of the consti
tuition, and to preserve the Union, With al
the dignity, equality, and rights Of the sew
| eral States unimpaired and that as 500,
as these objects ara accomplished the wa
ought to crase."

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONvENTIeN.-ln our
columns this morning will be found the
call for Democratic State Convention, for
the nomination Of State officers. We re.
greet that party issues are to be forced upon
the people, but the matter cannot be avert.
ed. The Republicans, and Democrats, al
Dcs Moines last winter, determined upon
partisan fights, and so the issue is UNA
voidablc. We trust the State Central Unior
Committee will speedily issue call, .e
that those who wish to lay aside part,
fights during the war, may have an induce
ment to rally together.

MAY 9th, 1862.

GENERAL ORDER NO. liz.
The three states Of Georgia. Florida, and
South Carolina, comprising the Military
Department Of the South, having deliber-
ately declared themselves no longer under
the protection Of the United States of
America. and having taken up arms against
the United States, it becomes = military
necessity to declare them under martial
law. This was accordingly done on the
25th Of April, 1862.
But slavery and martial law in a free
country arc altogether incompatible. Per-
and South Carolina, heretofore held as
slaves, are therefore, declared forever free.
(Signed) DAVID HUNTER,
Major Gen. Commanding.
The above order is calculated to produce
much excitement in political as we'll as
military circles. There is no one who,
more than ourselves, would rejoice if as a
result of this war all the slaves of the
country could legally and constitutionally
be freed and colonizcd but it seems to us
Gen. Hunter has usurpcd powers which do
not belong to him. If not, then there is no
limit to his power except the veto Of the
President, who is commander-in- chief
The supremacy Of the military ovor the
civil power would be dangerous precedent,

that the President according to the cores.

P. S.-Since the above was in type the

r. Y. CoREY's EsrABLIsHMENr.-On
Monday, in company with the gcntlemanly
proprietor, We looked over the mammoth
stock of goods which R. Y. Corey has now
unpacked and in bulk, in his store, at the
old stand Of d. S. Cook, Main street.
We observed generally, that Mr.. Corey
has been turning his attention principally
to staple goods-leaving to other houses
the traffic in fine and fancy goods. We
also noticed specially that these goods were
all arranged in departments, convenient for
inspection and sale.
At the main entrance of the store We
noticed large number Of samples Of wall
paper Of all the various grades suitable
alike for the humblest cottage or the mos,
palatial mansion. He sells good article
of paper for seven cents which heretofore
has ranged at ten and eleven; other grades
in proportion. The main sales room is de-
voted to dry goods, crockery, hats and caps
nails, glass, etc. Some idea Of the manner
in which this room is filled up may be in
fvrred from the fact that in the single item
Of thread, he has stock valued ut three
hundred dollars. Every available inch o.
shelf room is occupied, and the counters
arc partially used in supporting largs
piles Of prints, and staple dress goods
[Sam'l Peterson, or Hans Larson, the gen
tlemanly statesmen will attend to your cal
and chcerfuIly show you the merits Of tn.
stock.
Passing out Of this room to the right w
come to the grocery room where tons o.
goods are to the right and the left, the iron
and rear Of you. The teas, Of which HI
has . superior stock, are kept in air tigh
disappearing all their rich aroma, al
when first opened.
Immediately in the rear of this room
are kept the groceries in bulk,-barrels
hogsheads, bales, boxes, ETC., IT'LL you can
rest" Large as seemed this stock to US
we were surprised to be informed that ]
would soon to have be replenished, the rat
in which they were going off being certain
to exhaust the stock in few weeks.
Up stairs, still, we find goods in bulk
samples Of which only could be kept be
low and in front of the grocery room thcr
is capacious shed for the dry storage {

| In almost any other town than McGre
gor, the stock which we have SO brief
sketched, would suffice to last several years
but with the Aourishing retail trade whic
this house enjoys, coupled with thei
healthy jobbing business, it will soon hav
to be replenished. Quick sales, for cash
small per centage Of profit, and a rein
vestment Of the money, constitutes til
wise policy which benefits alike the sell.

The weather for the past two or three

Democratic politicians, who seem to
think that the only hope Of exalting them.
selves is in opposing the Administration OF
Lincoln, and the radical abolition politi-
Clans, who seem to think that their hope of
Office and Of future greatness" is in agitat-
ing absurdities and unconstitutionalities,
are alike undeservirg Of the sympathy or
encouragement Of honest, patriotic men,
who desire to see this war vigorously and
successfully prosecuted, and an early peace
achieved. Parties seem to us mockcry
under present crcumstanccs-a farce that
selfish politicians are playing for selfish
ends-and VIC cannot encourage them. A
true patriots heart beats responsive to his
country's cause, and 70 true patriot can
see anything in party strife, at the present
time, that can, by any possibility, rebound
to the benefit Of the country Chicago
Journal.
The Journal is one Of that rare class of
papers in the country which recognize the
interests of the nation as far transcending
the success Of parties. We regard this
the most exciting crisis Of Lincoln's
administration and the country as in really
more perilous condition than twelve
month ago, from the fact that the ultraists
Of each Of the old political parties have
anducted tho people to a more Indifferent
regard Of the horrors Of disunionisu.
A moments examination Of the subject
will satisfy every discerning mind that by
far too large a proportion of the American
people, who twelve months ago would have
perilled almost everything to restore the
old condition Of the Union, now want the
Union restored only upon conditions. One
ultra wing demand that slavery shall be
utterly abrogated by Congress, and then
they shall be brought back the opposite
ultra wing demand that slavery interests
shall regulate the politics and general in
tercsts Of the country, and then shall fol-
low restoration. These great ultra divis-
ions are Undivided into numerous minor
scctions-all arrayed against the old Union
or strict construction Of the present Con-
stitution.
A consolidation of the conservative men
Of the country upon the common platform
Of the Union, the Constitution, the cordial
support Of the government and Mr.. Lin
coins administration Of it,-so far as he
keeps true to his oath, and to the country,
of course meets the opposition Of these
radicals. They all shout with one acclaim,
the Republican party is the only party that
can restore the Union, or, the Democratic
party is the only Union party-while at
the same time they themselves will shape
the policy Of each SO that they cannot res
tore the old status.
If this Union be restored, it can only, in
OUT judgment, be done by general rally
ing together of all conservative men. The
radicalism of one would forever repcl the
South, the other forever repcl the North,
from restoration. The conservatism oil
the North united will keep these cxtrem'
lists in check, and may win these states
back to their allegiance, divided, it will
avail nothing.
