Our first impression, after reading tie "act

in alternate Sections, to aidm the construction
cf certain Bulroads in said State,'.'. was, that it
would have a tendency'to very 'materially re
tard emnrigration to that State. .All that we
have been mistaken jnfs that if hai operated
bus, much sooner 'than we anticipated. ' A
teat many have alreadr'crossed the 'river 'at J

llso, large numbers have' crossed at. Omaha

"eld a public meeting to devise mesns to ae

"We have before us the, minority report of
the Committee of elections, in the contested
seat pf B. B. CHAPMAxsitting delegate from
Nebraska, by H. P. Bexxett. Wre have ex
amined the report with care, as well as that of

evidence before ns, than that Me. Chapman is j
justly entitled to the seat. Yet, "with the

Natioxal :Democeatio Coxvestioit. As
we predicted, last. week., Me. BccnAXAjr, of
Pennsylvania, has received the nomination for
President Joux C. Bkeckenbqicge, 'of Ken
tucky, is the nominee for Vice President. On
therst ballot for President, the vote stood
Buchanan ICS, Douglas 118, Pierce 3, Cass 4:
after which Gen. Pierce's' name wa3 with
drawn. After the second ballot. Douglas was
withdrawn and Buchanan nominated by accla
mation.
Mr. Breckenbridge's nomination was
unanimous.
We welcome to our columns, the excellent
correspondent "Leoxibas." The article is
well written, to the point, and suits us with per
haps a single exception.." We are opposed to
appropriations, or meddling, in any way, with
the Public Lands at present, other than ma
king such arrangements that the actual settlers
can pre-empt, and pay for their land at &1.25,
per acre, along at such tins os as ..they, are able.
We are satisfied that great injury would result
from bringing the Public Lands to sale, short
of two years hence, at least. Give settlers
time to open up their farms, get things com
fortable around them, and then pa j for their
Jand. , . .

Gle woo i) (Iowa) -TiiiES, shows what others
than ourselves, think of Brownvilie and Ne
maha county. . '
NXBEASSA TEEEITOET.,.- . '
.' Ilaving recently returned from a tour to Ne
maha county,, Nebraska Territory, I shall brief
sketch a few facts relative to the country I
saw'. Brownvilie the county seat of the coun
ty, is not two years old, and yet there is quite
un active business doing:. thev have erected
. . rt . "... ..
there a nrst rare steam saw-mul, caprble of
sawing from four to five thousand feet of lum
ber per day. . 'The buildings are all new, and,
of course; their appearance indicate hasty con
struction; but the mechanics can be seen in ev
ery direction, at work, building dwellings for
thej "daily arriving immigrr.nts," who fill the
streets.- But a pleasant rida into tha country
surprised me more than anything else I saw;
there is a country which no one, two years ago,
inhabited, where the Indians and wild beasts
of the forests were wont to roam undisturbed.
But now, ' those prairies are being covered by
crowds of immigrants, who are rapidly con
verting the wild wastes into well .cultivated
fields. Lanre farms and comfortable dwellings
dot the beautifully undulating prairie; and ere
long these prairies will be denseiy populated.
The soil is very much like the soil of Western
Missonri and Iowa, equal to it, in" fertility and
richness, lhat country is destined to vie with
the m'ost favored .portions of the older States.

For the Nebraska Advertiser.
'PtJBUC LAUDS IN NEBRASKA. , .
Me. EDiTOB;rrom the eternal ringing of
the sounds of Kansas and Nebraska, through
the halls of that august tribunal the Federal
Congress one might reasonably 'suppose, that
the congregated wisdom, patriotism and states
manship of the country was assembled at
Washington, for no other purpose than to' watch-
over, guard and protect the .welfare and inter
esis of these Territories. Day after day, week
after week, and from month to.month, that
honorable body has been engaged ; in , debates
and controversies of a fearfully exciting and in
flamatQry character, over the one single ques
tion; of slavery in the TerritQries a questoin
with which, of all others, Congress has the least
business to medle. Invectives, fierce and bit
tor, are hurled. at. the institution, with such
force and fury, that they shake our whole po
litical fabric from' centre to circumfrence, and
threatenit with immediate destruction." Now,
must be oby"OUS to every maq of ordinary
mind and reflection, that, "whether or not,
slavery shall be legalized and form one of the
institutions of Kansas, - is a question which
concerns tho. people of Kansas alone, and that
they alone should be allowed to settle, to suit
themselves; it is a matter over which. Congress
ha? just as much constitutional control; as has
the Parliment of . Great Brittian or the Confed-erative-
Diet, at. Frankfort-on-the-Maine, and
that is simply, none at all. : . ...... .
If Congress really feels that intense and ob-
sorbing interest in these. Territories which
the honorable members so loudly and zeal
ously profess let it cease for awhile, its quar
rels and wrangles and stormy debates over
slavery, and turn its attention to matters in
which it may render cs some practical bene
fits. . , , . ; ;
The disposition of Public Lands has been
placed entirely in the hands of Congress. Let
it display a little of the same liberality to us,
that it has manifested for nearly all of the
Western States, by giving ns a few million of
acres for railroad purposes. But a few days
ago, the State of Iowa received a grant of a
million and a half acre3. . In that act, as in
most Congressional acts of the present day,
the cloven foot of sectionalism and local influ
ence betrays its hateful presence! ' The lands
are to "be used for certain specified routes and
excluding the Fort Madison and Nebraska City
railroads from any of the benefits of the grant
The grants should not be made for the benefit
J of certain specified roads; they should be giv-
' . -.. .i . i-t
en to tne otaies airectiy, anu to oe cszo. gener
ally, for railroad purposes.. What does the
"honorable gentleman" from Maine or Califor
uLt, know of tha pr6posl railroad .routes in
Iowa? II as he even set his foot upon the soil;
does he know anything of the population,' the
commerce and resources, along each particular
route: cf the means of gettin to and from
markets; and of their demands for railroad fa
cilities; or are not his views formed upon in
formation which he gets form interested par
ties or partizans, whom he meets with on the
floor or in the lobbies of Congress? We would
ask for a donation of lands "to Nebraska, for
railroad purposes next ask, not that they be
given to particular, or specified routes, but that
ther be given to the Territory; and the people
of the Territory, through their Legislature, will
know how to apply .them. '
She acquired, with our Territory for a mere
sonjr some several hundred million ' acres of
beautiful lands "of unsurpassed fertility. Yet,
vast as it is in extent, stretching as it does,
from, the banks of the" 'Missouri, to the far off
base of the Bocky Mountains no navigable
streams penetrate its interk r; the settler there
has tjo access to his home nor outlet to the mar
&ets abroad, but such as the slow, cumbersome
and expensive facilities, that' his wagon and
team affords him. While such is the case, the
interior must settle slowly. The emmigran
will be loth to seek a home distant from the
river, if,' in so doing; he isolates himseif from
the world abroad and is shut out from all inter
L course with his fellow men,., save, only, those
who chance to .have settled immediately
around him. ...
If the Government would have Jhe lands
in our interior settledup speedily, and by an
enterprising and productive class of people, le
her aid us in the construction of rail-ways over
them, by. liberal grants; otherwise, they wil
remain.vacant for years and will not add afar
thiug to her revenue.
Again, Congress has already given to the
States respectively, all tire swamp and over
flowed lands, within their borders. Now, w
ask that she immediately extend the provis
ions of lhat act, over these Territories.' We
hav'e thousands of acres Of bottom lands, sub
ject to overflow, which, by draining and ditch
ing we might reclaim, and render useful and
productive- Will our respected mother, the
Federal Government, deal as kindly with us, a
new Territory just 'sprung into an organic ex.
istenee. and yet but weak, poor and infantile
as she has dealt with the grown-up and flour
ishing states around cs, whose coffers are al
ready filled to overflwing. . We certainly fee!
justified in indulging tha hope that she will
