oh! Democracy.

The shining lights of iowa Democ-
racy in convention, at Des Moines,
on the 18th inst, placed the follow
ing ticket in nomination:
Geo. Gillespie, Of Ottumwa, for
Governor.
Col. A. =. Richardson, editor OF the
McGregor Times, for Lieut.. Govern
or.
VIM. F. Brannan, of Nuscatine
for Judge of the Supreme Court.
Edmund Jaeger, of Lee county, fol-
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton.
There is little to be said of the
strength Of the ticket, since the dirty
Dean was left out in the cold, but
taken as awhole, it is generally con-
ceded to he the best that could have
been selected from that party. 1t is
rather ludicrous to talk of 3 democrat
icparty in Iowa, with her 5000 Re
publican majority standing on the
record, but as opposition is the life o.
a canvass, we welcome the ticket
and especially the platform, as TT
example of what modern Democrac,
in Iowa has dwindled to.

Democratic Platform.

The following is the platform adopt
ed at the Democratic State Conven-
ton
Resolved, That the Democratic
party view with alarm the action of
an INSCRIPTIONS majority in Con-
gress, in their attempts to absorb the
powers of the executive and judicial
departments of the government and
to annihilate the rights and func-
lions reserved to the state govern
ments.
Re8OICCd, That we favor reform
in the national banking system look
ing to an ultimate abolition of that
pernicious plan for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
of few at the expense of the, many.
Resolved, That now, as i'll times
. past. we are opposed to high pro-
tective tariff, aud that we will use
every effort 10 prevent and defeat
that system of national legislation
which would enrich small class OF
manufacturers at the expense Of the
great mass of producers and con-
sumers, and that we are in favor of
such reforms in our tariff system rs
shall promote commerce with every
nation of the world.
Resolved, That the pretended trial ,
conviction and execution of persons
not belonging to the military OF ma
val service of the United States by
military commission, Is in direct
conflict with the constitution, and
we denOunce the same as unworthy
! Of free people and disgraceful to
! a CrnVprnInpnT
RCs0Irad, That we demand no more
and will submit to nothing less than
! the settlement of the Alabama claims
according 10 the recognized rules OF
| international law, ana that we de-
clare it to be the duty Of the govern
ment TO protect every citizen, wheth-
er naturalized or native, in every
right Of liberty and property through
out the world, without regard to the
| pretended claims of foreign nations
to their allegiance.
| RCsOLpcd, That we are in favor Of
and insist upon, an economical ad.
| ministration of the national and state
governments, that the people may be
as speedily as possible relieved from
the load Of taxation with which they
ale now pressed, and that public Off.
GERS should he held to strict accOunta-
bility TO the people for all their OIL
cial acts.
RcSOlUed, That a national debt is a
national curse, and that while we ia
vOr the payment of our present in
debtedness according to the strict let
ter of the contract, we would rather
repudiato the same than see it made
the means for the establishment of
an Empire upon the ruins Of consti-
tutionai law and liberty.
Resolred, That we are in favor Of
the repeal of all prohibitOry liquor
laws, believing them TO be inadequate
for the accomplishment of the pUr-
pose designed by it, and as q substi-
lutte for the same we are in favor Of
the enactment of stringent license
law.
RcSo1Ucd, That we cordially invite
to our shores the oppressed Of every
civilized nation, and we pledge our
selves to make the home OF their
adoption free to them without any
other consideration than that of resi-
dence and allegiance,

The Democratic Party

The New York Tri5Tac expresses
great sympathy for the Democratic
party. Fhe article, which We repro
duce for the comfort Of Iowa de-
mocracy is an accurately drawn pic
ture Of the old tempest tossed poIiti-
cal ships. The Tribatne says:
4 good deal has been lately said in
the newspapers of the death of m
old lady in Maine, who for thirty-siX
years has been bed-ridden. While
our sympathies are fully aroused for
! this unfortunate woman, we connot
! help thinking of the harder fate OF
the " Democratic Party" $50 called.
II is true that this shattered organiza-
ton has not been bed-ridden; If 1t
could have gone comfortably to bed
and stayed there, receiving rations OF
physic and Cruel from sympathetic
neighbors, its fate would nave been
softer, But even now, when 1T IL
really in extremity, it is forced to get
up and dress itself in various dis
.guises. and hold State Conventions,
as lately in Vermont, under the most
discCuraging circumstances. Al
though for so many years 1t has not
had a particle of Influence upon the
public policy, it has felt it n duty to
go through the motions as if it really
altered something. We wish that
once for all it would 60 to bed and
stay there. We calculate, since the
beginning of the rebellion, in it's vari-
Gus Country, District, State, and Ma
tiOnal Conventions, that this feeble
old party has passed from forty to
fifty thousand resolutions, the whole
amounting to one elongated and con-
tinuous growl and grumble. The
eccentric DR.. Valentine used to per-
senate an old gentleman who at the
same time was tormented by head
ache, earache, toothache, pulmonary
consumption, lumbago, rheumatism,
neuralgia, liver complaint, and indi-
gestion-a very useless old gentle
man, but q master, nevertheless, of
the sublime art of scoiding. The
Democratic party in Convention as
sembIed always reminds us of this
alniable parsonage. All! If it only
