The Two Flnneys.
Be it known to tho people of the Ter
ritory of Nebraska and the rest of man
kind, that there ore two Finney's in the
Legislature of Nebraska. Tho riorence
Courier, of lust week, devoted a chapter
to one of them, W. A. Finney, of Ne
maha ; for particulars, in detail, see ex
tract in this No. of our paper. Tho other,
JonN Fin net, of Uellevue, needs no cn
conium, no eulogy, to sustain his politienl
reputation. We know that John Finney
has no glittering, orange-colored -metal,
the price of honor, of integrity and repu
tation burning in his pockets. Now, as
we write, John Finney has never falsi
fied his word, has never violated his
honor. John Finnky stands before the
world in the enviable position of an hon
orable man. Let no mistake be made in
this matter. The Southern Election Dis
trict of Douglas may well be proud of her
Representative, for in John Finney they
have found an able, earnest, faithful, and
above all, an HONEST Representative.

En. Uellevue Gazette Dear Sir:
I noticed in your last paper an article
personnl in its character in relation to tho
Bellevuo Post Office, with several other
articles of like nature. I wish to say
there is a wide difference in tho liberty of
a press and an unlimited abuse of it. It
was never designed by the proprietors of
the Belleviifi Gazette that it should be
used as an organ to herald to the world
tho petit jealousies and bar-room quar
rels of neighbors, especially those of our
immediate onus. Hoping that the columns
of said paper will be filled with matter of
more importance to our young city and
fast-growing Territory hereafter, I am
very rpspectfully yours,
S. A. STRICKLAND & CO.
The new editor of the "Nebras
kian," in his Salutatory, says "We shall
neither '"brow-beat or bull-rag any person
or persons.'' That first number of his
proves him to bo a man of truth, and no
mistake.
GT W'e would call the attention of
Pennsylvania Farmers, who have made
Nebraska their homes, to the Prospectus
of the 'Germantowu Telegraph," publish
ed in to-day's paper. The "Telegraph"
is one of the best Family papers publish
ed in Pennsylvania, and is just the paper
to lot you know what is going on among
the farmers about your old homesteads. (
W) advise all to subscribe without delay.
The Agricultural portion alone is worth
double the subscription to a young farmer.
S It is with pleasure we call the at
tion of our readers to the splendid stock
of Boots and Shoes of W. II. Stabk &
Co., a catalogue of which will be found in
another column of our paper.

number of the "Nebraskian," it S easy to
see that they will not soon die of an over
dose pf Douglas scrip.
I3 We return our thanks to Mr.
Wisely, Esq., editor of the Thine Argus
published at Weston, for kindness ren
dered to Mr.'Sheridan during his search
for paper fur tho "Gazette" laielj.

of Nebraska city, for furnishing the pro

I Intend to continue tho publication of the
Debates of Congress in full, including tho

will be foreshadowed In the speeches of its

what will be the course, of the next President,
before he takes the executive chair, so as to
shane their business accordingly, should sub

The Daily Gi.oiie will contain the news of
the day, together with such editorial articles

passing events of interest, and the debates as
they come from the hands of the reporters,
which will be laid on the desk of every mem

ional Globe and Appendix. Those who may
desire to see the debates immediately, should
take the Daily Globe, as they are usually
published in it two days before they are print
ed in book form in the Congressional Gi.oiie
and Appendix.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix
will be printed on a double royal sheet, in roy
al quarto form, each number containing six
teen pages. All the Laws passed during the
session will be appended to the debates ; and
copious indexes to the debates and the laws
will be made out, printed, and sent to sub

The Weekly Globe will be printed on a
double royal sheet, in the usual newspaper
