At this writing (Wednesday) 3 Wednesday 4 p. THE I'LATrORM. 4'he Democratic Partv, in National Con VMtion assembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discrimi nating justice of the people, stands upon the constitution as the foundation and limitation of the power of the government, and the guarantee of the liberties of the citizen and recognizing the questions of slavery and secession as having been set tled for all time to come, by the war or the voluntary action of the southern states in constitutional conventions assembled, and never to be renewed or re-acitated, do, with the return of peace, demand 1. The immediate restoration of all the states to their rights in the union under the Constitution of civil government, and tho" American people. 2. Amnesty for all past political offen ces, and the regulation of the elective franchise in the states by the citizens. 3. The payment of the public debt of the United States as rapidly as practicable, —all money drawn from the people by taxation, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the government, economically administered, being honestly applied to such payment,—and, when the obligations of the government do not ex pressly state upon their face, or the law under which they were issued does not provide, that they shall be paid in coin, they ought, in right and in justice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. (Thunders of applause] Equal taxation of every species of 4. property according to its value, including government bonds and other public secu rities. [Renewed cheering, and cries of "Read it again."] 5. One currency for the government and the people,—the laborer and the office holder, the pensioner and the soldier, the producer and tho bondholder. [Great cheers and cries of "Read it again."] TUCRSDAY 2 o'clock P. M.—HORATIO SEYMOUR, for President on the 22d bal lot 1 Glory to God $IIURSDAV, 5 P. M.-Gen. F.P. BLAIR forY ice President. The Waukon Standard, in response to a recent Lincoln, anti-negro-equality quota tion in the TIMES, comes back at us by quoting remarks of Andy Johnson when bidding for the Abolition vote at the time he contemplated "scooping" the radical party. The association of the opinions of Mr. L., "the honest man and martyr," with the opinions of one who is denounced by thope who elfected him to the Vice Presidency as a thief, a traitor, a drunken debauchee, a liar one "whom it were base flattery to call a villainis in bad taste. Andy^vas never called anything but a politician Mr. Lincoln died a "mar tyr"' to the cause which in '58 and later too, he regarded as impracticable and wrongI ANDY, per pen pictures and ora troical p»»«Uings of those who voted for him is the Macbeth, and Mr. Lincoln was the virtuous Duncan. We claim superior re spect tor the expressed opinions of the latter. How our Reverend contemporary of the Standard, May view our reasoning is in the future. Negro equality with whites, politically, was condemned by Lincoln, by his whole party at that time, by all the Northern States at subsequent elections by the Chicago Convention so far as the North is concerned even thosp who favor it in this latitude are so cow ardly as to call' it "manhood suffrage" instead of by its real name. For proof of our correctness in statement, see re turns from Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and look for more of the same sort when IOWA votes this fall. The in spired St. Paul said something about the obedience due to the superior race, bnt we suppose Mr. May does not agree with the Apostle! Two daughters of Mr. Bishop, near Spring Creek, Arkansas, recently shot and killed a workman in the employ of their father. He'had slandered them Congress. TICKET. For Secretary of State, o A V I I I A i Clay (on County. For Register of Land Office.

Report by N. W. from Milwaukee (J. II. Patteison, operator) that the 18th ballot gave Hancock 144, and adjourned to 10 Thursday. No other names mentioned. The Chicago Times of Wednesday con tains the Platform in full. It ia the best document ever issued by a convention since that of July 4th, 177t. We give the first four resolutions the whole of th»m, with the eloquent Appeal, wc will publish next week. The platform was adopted amid intense cheering by 287 to 7 1 No matter who is placed upon it, that man is the next President of the United States. We forbear speculating as to the man, hoping that in part of our edition, at least, we can name him. We aro compelled to go to press at 12 (Thursday) in order to keep up with the business of next week. Here is the opening portion of There is great activity among the Radic als of this District. The candidates are many, and, generally, respectable in tact and talent, though none of them above mediocre in either line: indeed wc hayo no great men in that party now except G. and C. of Washington. The smaller Csh arc busy with the cross-roads men and country justices to get the car of tho nominating delegates, the most of whom SCcin to be looking to a windfall that may reach tho sc| arate case of each. Dubuque furnishes two of the strongest samples of the M.-C-on-the brain disease. Me«srs. Allison and Graves: the former is at Wash ington attending to his duties and appar ently caring not for the canvass, but it Wont do to guess William is not playing a strong, quiet game in the Iowa Third. J. K. Grave \a out spoken both by letters and voi as to his desires, and ex pectations too. We like G. for bis earnest bluntness on the subject: he made us a social visit on Monday, and admitted that he was at work the best he knew, and lie cl lims to have the best track for nomina tion. Price, through the last News. bur lesques the lesser candidates unmcrc'fully. His satire almost seems to say that his own claims to honor have been overlooked, but of this, no matter. We think the demo crats may as well prepare to meet a Dubu que man on the stump: outside that city the radical candidates are mere "flyers" or small posters indicating that there U to be a convention. The democrats are so used to defeat in Iowa, that candidates are not so plenty among them. The current of public opinion is so changed, however, that prominent gentlemen of our party are willing to "take the chances" of an elec tion. We regard the chances "fair."— 'Tis gratifying to notice how actively men are canvussiug public affairs and how in evitably their reason points to democratic policy as the only shield against the Xa- tional, State, Congressional and local leach es who fatten on the toil-producers of the country. Wc do not, by any means yield this District to the opposition. We believe a vigorous canvass will beat them. The omens favor it. The palsied condi tion of the country demands it, and Ac tivity will bring it. Among the more prominent names of the Democratic party are John T. Stoneman, of McGregor, Wm. R. Mills, J. II. O'Neill, of Dubuque, and A. G. Case, of Nashua. Either of these is "our choice so also is any other one who is capable intellectually, trustworthy politically and man-like socially. STONE MAN can canvass the district as elector and for Congress, at the same time. He would probably decline the electorship, and by the appointment of the State Cen tral Committee, another would take his place as clector this would give us two regulars on the stump in tho 3d District: JOHN' is not ambitious we know, but it would be a labor of love with him to "go for" the best man the bond-holding cor morants can trot out. An acquaintance of 12 years with him at McGregor, ena bles us to say, that no Democratic audi ence or Democratic man will object to his logic, or the manner of its delivery. The nomination he will not seek, but if the re quirements of political truth point to him as its advocate in the Congressional Can vass, he will commence work, on demand. Through the kindness of oar young friends, Grcgor and Gardner McGregor, Mr. W. 11. Kinniard and the writer, were fa vored, on the 4th, with seats in an easy carriage behind the finest driving pair of Browns known hereabouts. At 4 A. M. —early for us—we were on the way. At Harding's Bulls Head House, a breakfast of broiled spring chiekens with the etc., iu company with the members of the Cor net Band, made us think the 4th was a good day, and, while the cool morning breezes were still playing over the broad rich fields, loaded with that which promi ses to be, in every sense, an immense gol den harvest, we made the remainder of the way to the capital of the county, and put ourselves in charge of Gen. Bigclow, of tho Boardman House, for the day. At 9 the people from every part of Clayton and many from adjoining coun ties began to fill the streets, groves, hotels, stores and other trading houses and at 10 o'clock the population of Elkader, for the day, was enough to carry an election against any and all other points within the district where the county seat question might tome up. Tho procession formed under the direction of Chief Marshal Davis, and Asst. Marshal Daugherty, and marched to the grounds prepared in the beautiful oak grove on the east side of the river, when the President cf the day, Hon. Geo. L. Bass, of this city, conducted the exercises in the order in which they occurred. Prayer by the Rev. P. II Hathaway, of Elkader music by the Mc Gregor Cornet Band the Declaration of Independence read by J. A. Cramer, of Elkader,^.and the president announced the orator of the day, the Hon. E. E. Cooley, of Decorah. Mr. C. is an easy speaker and we happen to know his address was well received, giving the highest satisfac on to all. At two o'clock the Masonic Fraternity marched in procession to the Elkader School grounds, on Front Street, when the corner stone of the new ten thousand dollar school house was laid with the usual ceremonies belonging to that or der. C. S. Rollins, deputy Grand Master gues9 that is the title—of Decorah, made the speech and deposited within the cavity of the stone a tin box containing the lftBt number, each, of Col. Eiboeck's Clayton County Journal and Ver Nord Iowa Herohl Our shiretown had about fire or six thousand invited guests to entertain, which she did well, having secured the Mc Gregor, 8 pound brass cannon, the Mc Gregor Cornet Band and all the accom paniments desired for the celebration of a 4th of July, with the mercury playing about the hundreds. Tables filled with the best and greatest variety were set in the grove, hotels and Stone Hall, and we believe all there enjoyed the kind attention of the managers of the Elkader celebra tion of 1868. A dance in the evening in an improvised hall made in the Freeman Grove, to the best music of Prof. Jim Williams band, ended the festivities of the day. Our home trip was made between 9 and 12 o'clock on the most lovely even ing we ever beheld, fully satisfied and grateful to many friends for favors we fear wc shall never be able to repay. Lightning—Three Men Struck I On Tuesday about 10 A. M. during a thunder storm, several porsons were un der the P. O. awning on Main St., near the river. The offico of the Valley Tele graph Co. was in the P. O. building near a front window. Cast-iron columns sup port the building near one of these the wire enters. Suddenly a crack, like that of a pistol, was beard and three gentle men, nearest the iron columns, fell! There was no thunder »n response to the shock. Mr. Fred Wheeler and Mr. Frank Church were leaning on the columns and Mr. P. II. Piko was sitting close to one on the threshold stono of the door. All fell instantly. The by-standers in much alarm raised the unconscious men up and carried them to Cambrian Hall, across the street, sat them down,__ rubbed them, ap plied restoratives and in 30 minutes they were right except a soreness of the limbs, a slight sickness of the stomach, and a sort of confusion of the whole mental and physical system. In attempting to de scribe their sensations when partly recov ering they "gave it up." Mr. Wheeler's sock wan a little scorched and his foot made to bleed a trifle. Mr. Church was numbed in his arms and legs Mr. Pike was sick at the stomach as pale as though roady for the grave, and so blind as to dis tinguish no acquaintance except by the voice. Much alarm existed for a short time, but happily, all were soon over it and good feeling became the order. There were not many persons about those iron columns during the balancc of the 6torm! It is supposed the wire became over-charg ed and passing so near one of the iron column conductors, the electricity switched off. Glass will be placed there, immediately, as a defender and no such accident may hap pen again in a hundred years. The operator. Mr. Geo. F. Walker, re ceived a shock that satisfied him of the superiority of nature over raan'3 battery businpss. A„ well now, but it Charley Chase, their indefatigable, wide awake advertising agent, bill-poster, man-of-all work and genial gentleman is so no near perfect in his parts that praise of him is useless. He intends to re move to McGregor as soon as present engagements will allow! WILL AGAIN BE IN" MCGREGOR.—Owing to the many anxious solicitations from persons far and near who are desirous of consulting DR. BAKTU, many of whom disease prevents from visiting him at Chicago, while there are others who would seek advice are unable to incur the time and expense, DR. BARTII has conclu ded to pay his second visit to McGregor,— being at the Evans House on Friday and Saturday, July 17th and 18th, where he can be consulted for successful treatment of diseases of the Eye. Ear, Throat, Heart, Catarrh, Lungs, Deafness, Noises and Dis charges from the Ear also, disease inci dent to Females. DR.

LITTLE FOLKS.—Wc are partial to this class of humanity in every channel of life. Children are onr admiration, but the "Little Folks" we are now speaking of arc not children though they aro very small—the smallest trio, probably, of ma ture bodies and minds in the world. On Friday and Saturday evenings of this week you can see them at the Cambrian. See Posters and programmes for particu lars. Com. Foote and Miss Eliza Nestelle, are the smallest gentleman and lady in the world. lie is 2ti and smaller than Tom Thumb she is 17 and weighs but 20 pounds. Col. Barry is also petite. The three amuse an audience immensely by their dances, orations, repartees and songs. Everybody will see them if funds permit. In addition to tho sight of such specimens of small perfection, there will be a concert by Miss. Minnie Chase, Mrs. Kut5cl and Col. Ellinger. The papers where this troupe have been, speak in highly commendable terms of them. On Friday, the hot day of the season, (98 115) Esq Kriebs telegraphed us from Guttenberg, for a bucket of ice-water. We could'nt spare it, JOHN. Dont it seem niec though, that Guttenberg, Lansing, Clayton, Dubuque.

DEMOCRATIC CLCB.—The Cambrian Hall has been rented by the Democrats for tho canvass season one evening each week. On Monday next the ball will be open. All are invited to attend and jmrticipatc with us in the ccrtain redemption of our country, from the political tyranny and insolence which has so long enthralled it.

My personal interests are the same as yours, but, like you, I do not intend to be influenced by them, My con struction of the law is the result of care ful examination, and I feel quite sure an impartial court would confirm it if the case could be tried before a court. I *eid you my views us fully stated iu a speech. Your idea is that we propose to repudiate or violate a promise when we offer to re deem the "principal" in legal tenders. 1 think the bondholder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kind of money be paid for the bond. If the is to be tested by the law, I am right if it is to be tested by Jay Cooke's adiertiximents, I am wrong. 1 hate repu diation or anything like it, but we ought not to he deterred from doing what is right by fear or undeserved epithets. If, under the law as it stands, the holders of the live twenties can only be paid in gold, then we are repudiators if we propose to pay otherwise. If, ou the other hand, the bondholder can demand only the kind of money he paid, then he is a repudiator and an extortioner to demand money more valuable than be gave. cramp, lie naa ncen in tlie lialntot "tool- these representations are made to civc ing by false alarms and Ins young com- their machinery character, and thus cna paniotis did not go to his relief till it was Irish woman and the lady love of Lopez, i is the boss of court and field.

Truly yours, 3. G. GOODRICH, Gen'l Ag't. MCGREGOR, Iowa, July 6th 1868. 'fcorth Iowa Times.'' The above mean, scurrilous attack up on me in tho News, is by one Goodrich, charging mo with representing myself as his agent I take this opportunity of vin dicating myself. In the first place, being much better known in Clayton county, than this man Goodrich, it is absurd to suppose that I could make anything by such representation. This charge is totally and entirely false it is a lie, and I defy Goodrich to prove it otherwise. Sec ondly, be calls my machine "bogus" and claims bis own to be the genuine Buckeye. This is as false as the previous charge, and he knows it. Every Machine man knows that the "Buckeye" is manufactur ed at six places, fivo of these pay a royal tj to the original Buckeye Manufacturers at Canton, Ohio, for the privilege of making their machines. Goodrich's Akron Buckeye is one of these. So much for his "Genuine Buckeye." It is very plain, however, to sec what is tho causo of all tbis misrepresentation and falsehood. This ous sales to good, substantial nicn tbis is where it rubs. Yes, I hare made "num erous sales," too numerous it seems, to please Mr. Goodrich my customers know just what they »re getting, and are satis filed with it when they get it. A wound ed bird will flutter. I make this state ment to the farmers, not so much for the sake of the injured, as to correct the mis representation of the just. J. J. ROBERTS.
