Gen. JAMES NJ. futile, the choice Of the
Democratic party of Iowa, for Governor,
has announced himself candidate, not
through committee or a psrty-he is
pledged to no platform: his circular Of &C
ceptancc is addressed "To the people," and
in that address he defines his position
That position is universally approved by
conservative men Of all parties. The
ultras among Democrats refuse to support
him, or, vote for him under protest: the
ultras among Republicans denounce him in
the coarsest manner because he is likely to
kill out the partisan strife which keeps
their file-leaders in power. Below we give
part of what Gen. futile says in his ad-
dress "to the people"-not one word Of
party or of platform is in this own well
chosen words arc platform enough:
81 am in favor of vigorous prosecution
of the war to the full extent of our power,
until the rebellion is suppressed, and Of
using all means that may be in our posses
sion, recognized by honorable warfare, for
that purpose. am for the Union without
an If, and regardless Of whether slavery
stands or falls by its restoration, and in
favor Of peace on no other terms than un-
conditional submission of the rebels to the
constituted authorities Of the Government
of the United States.
Entertaining these opinions, and recog
nizing the right Of the country to demand
the services Of all good citizens, either as
rulers or soldiers-a although opposed to my
personal wishes If should be elected,
will discharge the duties of the position
without fear, favor, or partiality, and for the
best interest of the State and Nation, to the
best Of my ability"
Col STONE is the champion of the bit
terest radicalism: he travels out of the
record and makes his own PLATFORM also.

sight or hearing, but We have heard it, by
