The Republican, in making the above assertion, is simply mistaken in the'mat- ter. All who have read our paper, or conversed with us upon the subject, know we have ever been opposed to party or ganizations in r ebraska at present. And further, we have always been opposed to, and voted against, 'what is termed "plas tenng resolutions." We are no man wor shipper.

Experience has shown that it is very important to the tax-payers that a law should be passed by the next Legislature requiring all road, school, city, tovrnshlp, school-house, and all other taxes, to be sent to the county -collectors before pro perty can be offered for sale. This country is yet in its infancy in many respects, and taxes are. constantly being levied for some new purpose which does not trouble older settled regions of country.

The Democracy of the Territory in Convention have completed their onraniz- ation after an active dav's work, and es. tablished a Platform upon which all. can stand without distinction. . . ; Much credit is due to the delegates for the - compromising spirit shown' : on aid sides, and the desire to establish the doc- trines of the party in such a comprehen- sive manner as hereaiter to require no test explanations by which the party should be governed. . They fully adopted the explanation of popular sovereignty as contended by the J Douglasites, and gave an easy endorse- ment to Buchanan's administration. j You will probably have the entire pro- ceedings before you receive this,, as the I Convention ordered their publication in all the democratic papers in the Territory.

Attorney General Black, in answer to the Secretary of the Interior, says that it never has been doubted, as a general principle, that Virginia land warrants ought to be settled and adjusted according to the laws of Virginia, by such trtbunals as she may see proper to charge with the duty.
