THE TICKET.
' We present to our readers the ticket
nominateil at the Union . Convention
held in this city last Thursday.
will Le seen ty our South Platte friends
that we have a fair representation on
it. and not be afraid of our interes
being neglected ty the men comprising
it. Lei us go to work with a will for
the election of every man on it. ' The
probabilities are that the Constitution
v.ill be adopted on the 2J of June, and
that we will soon have two Senators
and a I.epreseniative demanding' ad
mission for us into the Union. Al
though Colorado has been once refused'
the indications now are that she will be
admitted soon. Bat even in the event
of a final refusal to admit her, we see
no reason for refusing Nebraska. The
main argument against her admission
was that her population was fluctuating
and was liable to be reduced at any
time. This could not be brought as
an argument against us, as our popu
lation is permanent and steadily on fhe
increase. We propose to be heard
often on this subject between now and
the 2d of June, and ask our readers to
look at the matter without prejudice
and decide according to their better
judgment.
WHO ARE THEY f
We would ask who'aie the mep
that aie acting as fuglemen" ihflie
Democratic party throughout Nebras
ka? Are they men who stood up for
their country in the time of her need?
Are they men who endorsed the doc
trine, at the time of its enunciation,
that "traitors should be punished, and
treason made odious?'' Or, are they
of that class who said the war for the
Union was an "unholy crusade against
a noble und patriotic ' people" men
who gloried in the victories of the
southern armies, and cursed the sol
diers of the Union as Lincoln hirelings ?
As a uampie of the men who are
aspiring to place and power in the
Democratic party, we would cite our
readers to a Democratic meeting in
Nebraska City for the purpose of elec
ting delegates to their county covention,
where," as reported through the jYews,
Dr. Pearson was elected as Chairman.
We would ask the old residents of Ne
Lraska City who this Dr. Pearson is ?
Can O. P. Mason, former Provost Mar
shal, tell us who he is ? Can Captain
Pearman tell us who he is ? Can the
Democratic Marshal of Nebraska City,
A. II. Hickey, tell us who he is ? Can
any one of the residents of Nebraska
City during the winters of '65 '66 tell
us who hejs ? Do they remember a
man who, for disloyal words and ac
tions, was required to report to the U.
S. authorities daily ? Do they remem
ber a man whe swore he was the "best
rebel in Nebraska," and was only per
suaded to desist from his outrageous
conduct when a revolver in the hands
of the Provost Marshall was leveled at
his head? Does anybody remember
thesa things? We do not believe
the common people in party endorse
cuch men or. such actions; yet this is
the class of men who are forcing them
selves into positions in the party, and
R-ho are virtually endorsed because the
adherents to the party do not exercise
the moral courage to repudiate them.
Come out from among them, you men
who are honest in your assertions of
loyalty to the Government. Such men
have ruined your party and came near
destroying our Government. They
should be kept in the back-ground, or
else they and the clique that puts thern
forward should be repudiated.
With its most emphatic typog
raphy the National Intelligencer sol
emnly warns the people that at a very
early day the country will be startled
wiih a sudden advance step in the pro
gress of a revolutionary scheme, unless
the traitors be in the mean time dis
couraged by popular demonstrations of
Cons! national Ioyahj'i
THE STATE QL'ESTIOX.
We have always been favorable to
the organization of a State Govern
ment for Nebraska, so soon as we cold
bear the burdens of what extra expense
would attach to us in consequence, or
so oon-as an enabling act was prei
sentcjl to' us that would prevent an in
crease of taxation. 'We disapprove of
a few individuals acting as toe people
in such matter?,' without reciving in
structions from that people. Neither do
we Lelieve in organizing a State Gov
ernment for the exclusive benefit of a
tew, to the detriment of the masses.
Taking this view of the case, when
the present State movement was inau
gurated we. opposed it. because we
thought it to be a measure of a 'few
individuals, inaugurated for the benefit
of certain localities to the manifest in
jury of the greater portion of the Ter
ritory. We have not changed our
opinion so far as regards the intent
at the time this move was inaugurated.
but we are convinced the matter has
now assumed such shape as to effectu
ally block any such result. Our Rail
road interests are at stake in the mat
ter ; and while the question assumed a
shape that was in direct opposition to
those interests in the South Platte coun
try- which is the main part of Ne
braska we opposed it strenuously ;
but now that we have our rights in the
matter, and are secured in a fair and
impartial representation, this argument
falls to the ground, for which we are
in no way sorry.
The constituton presented to us, as
we said when it war first published, is
good. There are some points in it that,
in our judgement, could be -changed to
advantage, but was there ever an inslru
ment of the kind that was perfect, and
suited to the particular views of every
man. We see even the Constitution of
the United States being constantly
amended, and if we find any particular
portion of our Constitution that does not
operate aavantageously, we can reme
dy the defect.
One of the most powerful arguments
in favor of immediate organization, and
one that should be well considered by
every man in Nebraska, is the selec
tion of lauds for Slate use. These lands
should be secured at the earliest day
practicable, before Railroad companies
and speculators "gobble" all the most
valuable of them. Let us reason-these
things, and pursue the course that will
tend most to our advantage.
. . RESOIUTIOX.
The resolutions passed at the Terri
torial Union Convention held in this
city, on last Thursday, were in refer
ence to Stale Organization, except the
following:
Resolved, That the party which has
triumphantly vindicated and sustained
ihe Government, and carried it safely-
through four years of sanguinary war,
waged by the enemies of civil and
religeous liberty, owes it to its cherish
ed principle and to humanity to secure
liberty and civil rights to all men under
general law.
Wlien to revive the Democrat
ic Party.
Senator Sherman told this good thing
in his speech at Bridgeport, Conn., the
oiher day:
"A modern Democrat came to a dis
linguished Democrat of the State of
Ohio (Gov. Todd) las fall, after the
war had ended and said: 'Now? my
friend, you supported .Lincoln all
through the war: now that the. war is
over; you have had every thing, your
own way; and now suppose we itart
again thi Democratic party.' 'Well,'
said the Ohio Democrat, I don t know
but that it would be a good thing; I
like the Democratic party ; I was rais
ed in it, and I stuck to it until it deser
ted the country and went over to the
rebels. I don't now but it would be a
good thing to revive and purify the old
party; but I would not do it just yet.
'Ah,' said his friend, 'when weuld you
do it then ?' 'My friend,' said the
Ohio Democrat, 'when the Union par
ly shall have discharged in full all the
obligations it has assumed during the
war; when it shall have paid all the
pensions that are due to the widows of
soldiers ; when it shalljhavejpaid every
dollar of the National debt incurred
during the war; when it shall have
punished all the rebels ; when in short
it shall have accomplished all that it
has promised to do, then I am willing
that the old Democratic party1 should
be revived. Iam not willing to trust
the Democratic party to perform obli
gations that they opposed in their con
tracting. I prefer to see it. done my
self to pay my debts myself.' "
ST.An old deacon in the York
State, had a carrouy-headed clerk who
spent most of his time, and ail of his
attention, ic the cultivation of a saffron-
colored moustache, (similar to the one
Dickens ascribed to Fascination Fledge-
by,) and who asked the old man how
he liked it ? The deacon regarded
him attentively for some time, with
anxious solicitude apparent in every
feature of his benign countenance, and
impressively said to him, :'that if he
lived long enough, was. blessed by
Providence, enjoyed good health, slept
well at nicht, had good luck, and no
pull-backs, he would look like hell in
about six weeks. ' ,
It may be set down as a re
markable circumstance, that the Pres
ident has not yet taken his accustomed
spree, upon the strength of his last
veto. White Claud Chief. .

Gen. Howard has written a long
letter to Mr. Elliott, chairman of the
House select comm-uee on freedman's

He points cut briefly lhat the pericd
for the .continuance of the Bureau
snouid ne dtnuitely lixeu ; that it
should be declared by Jaw whether
Maryland aud Kentucky are, or are
not included within the limit where
the Bureau may exercise surpervision;
that some measure, should be taken to
promote industry by setting opart lands
for sale oh favorable terms ; and says
finally that a bill covering all. these
points, signed by the President, would
give great moral power to the Bureau,
as the Southren people now believe
that the President is opposed . o its op
eration altogether. . .;.!
in the cenaie, Williams called up
the bill to prevent the absence of Ter

Grimes was conscious of the great
injustice which had. been done the
people of the Territories, but thought
the bill too sweeping.

or the Siate to. take her former, posi
tion in the Union, and enjoy all: her
rights, and adjust all her obligations a
a btate under the Constitution or the
United Slates as it stands amenkd.y v
His opinion is, and the sentiment of the
people of Georgia, that exercise of
right of secession was resorted to from
a desire to render their liberties and
institutions more secure and from a
belief on their part this w as absolutely
necessary for that object. He thinks
that. the people are perfectly -satisfied
with the expectations they will "never
resort to that measure of redress
again, lie believes the onJv nope tor

them forced thither by Whites; just as

Make Farm Life Attractive.
The Albany (N. Y.) Journal thus
describes how farm life may be made
the most attractive occupation.
1. By less hard work, iarmers
often undertake mor than they canjilo
well, and consequently -work" too early
and too late. r , ; ;-
. t2. Bymore system?"-The farm-'
firs bhouid have a time tobeain and
top Tabor. They hould put jnofe
mind and machinery int) their work.
They should theorize as well as prac
tice, and let both go together. Farm
ing is heahhyi" moral and respectabfe ;
and in the long run may. be profitable.
Ihe farmer should !:eep eood stock and
out of debt. The farm is the best
place to begin and. end life, and hence
many in the cities and professional
life covet a rural home.
3. By taking: care of health.
Farmers have' a healthy variety of ex-
erases; nut too onen negieci cieanu-
ness, omit bathing, eat irregularly aud
hurriedly, sleep in ill-ventilated apart
ments, and expose themselves to cold.
Nine-tenths . of the human diseases
arise from cold or intemperance.
Frequent bathing is profitable, so is
fresh air, deliberation at the dinner-
table and rest after a meal.
"4.: By adoring the house. Noth
ing is lost by a pleasant home. ; Books,
papers, pictures, music and reading
should be brought to bear upon the in
door family entertainments ; and neat
ness and comfort, order s-hmbbery.
flowers and fruits should harmonize all
without. Home should be a sanctuary
so hapay and holy that children will
love it, women delight in it, manhood
crave it, and old age enjoy it. There
would be less desertions of old home
steads if pajn-s were taken to make it
agreeable, Lase, order, health and
beauty are compatible with farm life,
and were ordained to go with it.
