"Why can't we have harmony among
the few Nebraska Democratic papers?
The Lincoln I Democrat abuses the
Omaha Herald because the Herald
stvnds up and eats its crow like a well
disciplined Democrat"! Henri Watter
son has bwallbwtd his crow, feathers
and all. Mr. "Carlisle ' has. even, been
ftucfctl to say he is not favorable to further-agitation"
of the tariff question,
and Dr.Miller is but showing his well
disciplined. Democratic raising by
swearing. to. anything, the party does.
The Lincoln DemocJat bad better leave
the O-uaha Herald alone, and hasten to
humble its own proud spirit and ac-
knowledge its many short comings and
faults, among which is the fiee trade
heresy for it is all coming to that any
way. The Omaha Herald has only uu-
! ticipatcd the matter with more fore

to Jerre Bi'-nk, Mr. Uaohannn's old :U
toroey .'f-n- rid It is curious in this
day, wl -n t-e infelMgei-ce, patriotistu
and progress of this nati"ri'hu; in. the
brief space of somo seventeen ' years
left thts rebellion of the southern state
and its causes, so far behind that It
sounds like the story of a century ago,
that its great first head should set him
self down to prove to tho people of
this country that South Carolina was
justifiable in seixing the Federal foil'fi
cations, under the deed of . cession by
that state to the general government,
and that the attorney geiici nl of South
Caro'ina," had the right to claim this
property because it reverted as Mr. Da:
vis claims by tlie terms of the grant
back to that state tho moment the gen
eral government cea.-ed t properly gar
rison and fortify it; and yet this man
represents a very large proportion of
thei democratic party of the south; to
day.JJefferson Davis is a fair exponent
of the bruins and honest convictions
of thti leaders in that party in the
states that seceded from the Union,
ana whoso electoral otes wiiitoavery
iarcre extent select the next democratic
. . . . i
President if bne hordd be elected- anc
and whoso electoral otes wiiitoavery
ic
and
of the. men who will take tin. ir places at
fhc helm of this nation nmi ohape its
policy in that .section of tlie American
Uuiou should the great democratic par
ty gain control of the administration;
of this there is no doubt.
Northern democrats may and will
detiy this. proposition yet it is the truth;
the attempt to parry this truth by the
taunt that we are -'waving . the bloody
shirt', can have no force; the assertion
that Jeff Davis is a lire eater, and un
reconstructed rebel, and that he misrepresents-
the south, wiil nt. avail; he
is a distinguished man. he is honored,
and feted by the people of ;that section
of the country upon every convenient
occasion; he represents a principlo they
fougiit for, bravely, and which they all
beiieve in: and when he says speaking
of the iost cause, and the, time when in
this country that cause will ie vindi
cated :
"When it shad no lougerbe popular to
have instigated and aided iu the prose
cution of the war against the Southern
slates, when the sober 6ecoi;d thought
of the people -hali have taken an ati
count at wasted treasure of sacrificed
lives, of a laud saddened by- the wail
of the niUuw and the orphan, and lust,
but no: least, tlie subversion of those
sound principles ot tree icoveru men t
tor which the colonies fought the war
oi the revolution, and to perpetuate
which the Union was formed, then,
consent is the foundation and fraterni
ty the cement of our political structures
i he desires of President Buchanan to
wards a peaceful solution of he qMes
tiots preheated by Sou.h Carolina may
receive toe reward due to the wisdom
and patriotism of ids conciliatory poli
cy. He echoes the sentiments of the men
who control tte demoeratic "party in
the south who wilt come into power
just so fure as that party regains the
reins of government. The only differ
ence, between Mr." Davis and the aver
age southern politician is, the ex-president
of the confederacy is an honeit,
old state's right?, souUiern .democrat
who always speaks his true convictions
upon these q'Jo tioniiwirijrd to
conseouences. j-' -' -
