atcly offered a resolution to the fol!owins 9

"Reso1oe1, That, as this convention
has deferred to the Chicago Convention
the duty and the danger of declaring the
sentiments Of the Iowa Democracy, we
do hereby disband our organization and
invite Gov. Stone and his minions to
take possession and ask Abraham Lin
coin, when he imprisons US, it be in re.
spectacle basti'es, and when he puts US
to death with the bayonet, he will not
need!essly prolong our cruel sufrerings."

were to prepare the candidate and plat
form, and Mr.. Richards do all the work
of the campaign, didn't suit that gentle.
man very much, and he asked that his
name DC Withdrawn and another substi.
tuted, accompanying it by a speech
agaist the war, which he said he had been
opposed to from the first. A Mr.. Furey,
one OF the Secretaries of the Convention,
then made furious speech on the same
side, denouncing the action of the Con-
vention in refusing to adopt any plat,
form, and protesting that the people
wanted peace. d. o. Finch replied,
1enouncing any peace which would give
Jeff. Davis and his minions all they ask,
'nd allow them to invade and conauer

20 aud assist in making platform and
icket for the party. He further re.
marked he would not make this PROPOSE
