Weaver offered the fol lowing substitute aad moved its adop tion : "The Republican party of Iowa is opposed to the repeal of 'the prohibi tory liquor law of this State, aad will stand by its record on that question." Both of which were referred to the Com mittee on Resolutions with instructions to report forthwith. The first resolution of the platform was then adopted.

As it was doubted whether Governor Kirkwood would accept, Gen. Ed Wright telegraphed him: 'Why in thunder don't you accept?" To which this reply came : "If I must, say vp. for me." ssnnaBnanBjBBBSBjBmaawawnawjBjBnaBnat Russia and tke United States. Hon. John A. Kasson delivered an admirable and thoughtful oration on Decoration day in Burlington, Iowa, in which he drew the difference between the American citizen soldier and the soldier of other countries, and pointed out that the essential, fundamental prin ciple for which he fought was a standing menace to the European theory of gov ernment. Iu the course of his interest ing speech, which was delivered to an immense audience, Mr. Kasson alluded to the hostility of other governments to ours during the rebellion a hostility of which the moral force was one of the most serious difficulties that we encoun tered. Louis Napoleon was the chief of our European enemies, and it was he who endcavorei to persuade the great powers to recognize the Confederacy. The British Government fortunately re fused; but the Russian did more, and we doubt if the fact which Mr. Kasson men tions has been before published : "A mcmlier of Parliament told mc in 1803, at London, in answer to ray ques tion why thegoverniugclasdesorEugland were hostile to our Uuiou, that we were growing too great, too powerful ; it would be Initler for the peace of tlm world if we were divided.' That he j.p,ku the sense of his Government was apparent from their consent to the escape of rebel warlike ciuisers from their inirts to de stroy our commerce, and put us back twenty years in our race for the com mercial control of the seas. We are much iudebfed to the Queen of England, and to L'rince Albert personally, that her Government did not yield to the proo sjtion of the French Emperor. None of the great governments save Russia took the nobler part of an active friendship for our Union. When the letter of the French Government came to the Czar, and suggested that it was the direct interest of tlie great monarchies to have our republic divided and broken, his minister submitted to him a reply simply declining the proposition. But the great-hearted Emperor was our true friend. He said to his minister, 'You do not go far enough. Tell Napoleon that the republic has freely chosen its form of government, and doe- not at tempt to interfere with ours; tell him they have as much right to their form as we have to ours; and tell him, further, Prince, that if he attempts to inter fere with tbem, I will ttrike nimP In twenty-four hours that answer was on the way to Paris. God bless Russia for her faithful friendship! That dispatch went far to shorten the war, if it was not also an important factor in the triumph of the Union. Nevertheless, the rebel agents were allowed to build warlike cruisers in the French ports, and the French government aaU not see it until our spies had secured the original contracts, and our minister had laid them before their eyes." The knowledge of this fact possibly explains the ardor of Mr. Seward's urgency tor the purchase of Alaska as a recognition of the frieniikip of Rasaia; and had the fact seen more generally known in this country, the reception of the Emperor's son Alexis would have bean erne snore cordial than it was. Had ft bee known to the President, we doubt if the Catacacj dSffacnlties would have beenaUeawd to affect the heartiness of the Grand Duke a welceme at the Unite House.
