T he-LegisiatiTC Troubles. : We have just returneu from the Capital of the Territory; but did not arrive in time to furnish our readers with an article on the recent cumcuities in me legisla ture, -We. publish in another column the message of Gov.. Rich ardson to the ma jority and the .reply thereto, by the Con- te high priest and guardian, chief saint and coldicr, prophet and protector. To allow the continuance of his rule as civil Governor, was to link the United States'Governraent,. through its official, with the barbarism cf his, ecclesiastical doctrines. .' Using his position, not to for ward the interests cf the .United States Government, but to build up an organiza tion utterly and diametrically opposed to its doctrines, he has ultimately attained such power as warrants him in throwing off all allegiance to this Government, and audaciously proclaiming that he is Gover nor of Utah' by Divine appointment. It is somewhat pardonable that the London Times thould sneer at the '"effect of our "cheap Government" which, represent ing over "twenty millions of people, can not put down the rebellion cf a small State, the whole population- of which men. women, and children do not amount to much more than a hundred thousand." It has not been, however, from the want of the power, but from an excess of. stupid forbearance on our part, that "an infamous nest of Mormonites" have crowed over us. If patience in this 'matter ever was a virtue, which we have always doubted, it certainly has no claim to the metaphorical or philosophical designation .now. We are glad that the President thinks so, and heartily concur in the views he puts forth, and the promptness he recommends in the premises. The President holds that hu manity demands the strong arm of the United States in Utah, and that only by its presence can a useless enusion oi saved. rnittee ct both iioUses. . c.nrR thft PrpcJdent's Messarre wasde I est week we purpose to commence a iivered t0 Conirress, the news from Utah -series cf. articles as to the difficulties of confirms, in its most rebellious phases, legislating in Nebraska.

Brovmville, Jan. 19, 1858. Mb. Editor : I learnwithno ordinary degree of won der and surprise that the Editor of the "Nemaha Journal" expresses himself de cidedly' antagonistic to the Democracy or ganizing in the Territory. How strange it is that any good Democrat should inti mate any opposition to' the known inte rests of his party ! I cannot concede to the "Journal" sincerity in this matter, and confidently indulge the hope that we will- meet with very little opposition in that quarter. , j . . : I have much reason to believe the Ldi- or of the Journal a sound and faithful democrat, and .capable of doing a good part in the democratic ranks; and I should regret exceedingly - for him to persist in the course he is about marking out. ' We need, Mr. Journal, your invaluable servi ces in these unsettled and' trying times, and . I . think you would be guilty of an unpardonable omission of duty, should you desert your party at this crisis. Think of this matter .more soberly give it a ittle more attention, and. I know, you will be with us"heart and hand." Well, Mr. Journal, don't you say you are a democrat; and, of course, -willing to be governed by te. will of the majority ? Then suppose the majority of your breth ren say, organize; will you cease all op position and unite with them ? If such a democrat, as I believe you to be, you will most certainly. I suppose a little explanation must be given in regard to my remark that there seemed to be but one political party in Nebraska. Let any one take the trouble o ascertain the sentiments of the people on political issues, and he will, judging rom their expressions, . come to me con clusion that all are democrats nearly every man will say, "I am a democrat ;" but at the same time the fact is plainly discernible that,, the principles of Black Republicanism are consonant with the feelings of these individuals that they are not like you, Mr. Journal, true, faith ful and tried in the glorious cause of de mocracy. ' Therefore, Mr, Journal, an organiza tion is called for to purge the party of Black Republicanism, Abolitionism, and Niggerism and on this point I am well satisfied you will agree with me and lend your valuable assistance to consumate an object so universally desirable by all genuine democrats throughout our own country.. I knqw you have fought many a democratic battle in" the State from which you lately emigrated, but I am not sure that you ever won many victories never received a "crown of distinction" at least from Up democratic party, But this is not to the point. We want a demo cratic organization, and thereby ensure harmonious action among Nebraska Dem ocrats. We want a platform, democratic and conservative in its tone such a one as will be freely endorsed and subscribed to by all good democrats in every section of our Territoryand I am verily of the opinion that if jparty lines" were drawn, much of local feeling and sectional strife would cease, and in lieu of north and south Platte this locality or that. We would have National Democracy and 31ack Re publicanism. And I do not know, Mr. Journal there ever will be any better time to meet our political enemies than now, We are as fully prepared ta:go into an engagement with them at this day as we will be at any time to come. It is our duty to keep fresh in the memories of those who are coming after us the great and glorious principles of democracy. We should ever be watchful of the interests of the party ever solicitous of its un shaken union in the Territories as well as in the States. Then, Mr. Editor of the Journal, if your heart be imbued with a spark of pa triotism, or love of country or party, we feel no hesitation in saying that you will send forth your voice, andwield your able pen in favor of immediate gathering to gether of democrats in this Territory, and the adoption of a platform by which you will stand through adversity or pros perity "sink orswim, survive or perish.'

The following communication wa3 re ceived by the Council and House of Rep resentatives, on the 13th. Executive QrricE, Omaha City, N. T.-, , January 152, Hon'L. L. Bowxir, J. H. Campbell, E. A. Donelan;( Committee. Gentlemen : ' I received yesterday from you the fol lowing preamble and resolutions : . "Be it resolved by the Council and House of Representatives of the Territory of Nebraska, That, Whereds it is under stood that his Excellency the Governor of the Territory, the Hon. William A. Richardson has arrived at Omaha City, therefore be it ; Resolved. That a joint committee, con sisting of one member of the Council and two of -the House, be appointed to wait upon his Excellency and inform him that the Council and House of Representatives of the Territory of Nebraska are now in session at Florence, having been forced to adjourn to that, the nearest place.of safe ty, by the disorganizing.. and. turbulent acts of a minority of their own body; aid ed by the violence of an unrestrained mob At Omaha, causing a well grounded op prehension as to the personal safety of the majority, and requesting his .bxcei- lency to communicate witn mo Ajegiia ture at this place at his earliest conve nience. 1 . I deem it to be my duty under existing circumstances, as an act of courtesy due from me to you as members of the Legis lative Assembly of Nebraska, to state frankly that looking at the question as a mere legal one, I cannot recognize that portion of the members of the Legislature now assembled at Florence as the Coun cil and House of Representatives of the Territory. "... By reference 10 the Organic Act, &ec. 13. it will be seen that the power to lo cate and establish the Seat of Government is conferred upon the "Governor and Le gislative Assembly." Under that auth ority, Omaha City, Douglas county, was determined upon as said seat or uovern ment by an act of the Territorial Legis lature, approved January the 30th, 1855. Omaha City must continue to be the only legal place of holding the sessions of the Legislature, unless some otber place is fixed upon by the joint action of the Gov ernor and Legislative Assembly. I have been unable to find any enact ment upon the Statute books of the Ter ritory making such change, and in its ab sence the Legislature can only tiansact its business legally at Omaha City, in Donerlas county. . But, should it be insisted that this change is but temporary, and not design ed as a removal of . the seat of Govern ment, even then, if I have been properly informed, the proceeding is not authorized by law. I understand the following to be the facts: The House of .Representatives without reference to the action of the Council, or the approval of the Grvernor, upon a mere motion adjourned to Flor- ence. ine uouncn, aiso inaepenaent or the House and the" Executive, adjourned to meet at the same place. If now I should recognize the meeting at Florence as the Legislative Assembly of the Terri tory, what is the doctrine which I endorse? It is not that either branch of the Legis lature, without the concurrent action of the other, has the power to adjourn to meet at any place it may select; a doc trine, the establishment and operation of which might at some future day present the strange spectacle of a Council at one place, the House at another, and the Ex ecutive at still another. I cannot endorse a doctrine from the operation of which such consequences might result Without inquiring into'or expressing an opinion upon transactions said to have taken place prior to my arrival into the Territory, I deem it sufficient for me to say that the Capitol is the place of your right and your duty as Legislators, and having entered upon the discharge of the functions of the Executive office, I am prepared to guarantee that no act of vio lence by any man or set of men will be perpetrated upon the rights or persons of the members of the Legislature, while in the discharge of their duties as such. The fullest and most ample protection is war ranted to freedom in discussion and inde pendence in action. The public necessity requires that the Legislature should proceed to business, and perform its appropriate duties. It would be exceedingly gratifying therefore to me if you would return to the Capitol, accept the protection which it is my duty and my pleasure to tender to the Repre sentatives of the people, and by just and needful legislation, relieve the citizens of the Territory from the apprehension of being left for another year without suffi cient laws for that absolute protection which is guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. I need scarcely add, gentlemen, that no one regrets so sincerely as I do the neces sity which compels me upon the first as sumption of. the duties of my office to differ with a majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly. Nothing but a conviction so clear as to leave no doubt upon my mind, would induce me to take upon myself so great a responsibility. But the line of duty is so plainly marked, I should be faithless to the trust confided to me if I should for a moment falter or hesitate. I have the honor to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, ' .W. A. RICHARDSON, Governor of Nebraska i Legislative Hall, ) January 14, 1858. To his Excellency, Wm. A. Richardson. Sir: We have the honor of being in receipt of your communication of the 12th inst. Respect for the high office which you hold, as well as justice to ourselves, de mand a reply. The candor and frankness of your com munication we anticipated from one whose name is part of the history of our Great Wrest. The same candor and frankness in our reply u ill, we feel assured, not prove offensive. Acquainted as you are with the genius of our government ; experienced as you are in matters of legislation ; devoted as has been so large a portion of yourr life to making ".laws for your country; we deem unnecessary to urge upon your Ex cellency how vitally important it is to the happiness and well-being of ; any people, that those whom they may choose to make the laws under which they are to live, should be uninfluenced by any intruding outside pressure free to act and vote ac cording to the dictates of their own judg ment and the known wants and wishes of their constituents. , Among the many safeguards erected in our country to secure the happiness of the people, we know of none more important to possess; none in the overthrow of which more mischief would resultl Without it, the people have no assurance of laws such as they desire, and our government virtually becomes an oligarchy, the mob few controlling the moderate many. We submit a case in point.' The Legislature meet and organize at the place appointed by law. They proceed to legislate upon some subject in itself a legitimate matter of legislative actiou. The bill is obnoxious to the few immedi ately surrounding their locality but de manded by the" wishes of the great majo rity of. the people, as made known by a majority of their representatives. A few become violent and threatening. Legis lative action i3 no longer free. Votes are cast not in accordance with the dic tates of reason or. the. known wishes of constituents,' but with' reference to the views of an excited lobby and threatening intruders within their bar, winked at by a sympathizing executive. , What course is to be taken ? . Three -suggest themselves. 1st. To withdraw the bill producing the excitement. To do this is to allow the will of the few to triumph over the will of the many ; the minority to triumph over the rights of the majority a course, we suggest to your Excellency, seldom adopted by American freemen. 2nd." For the majority to remain and maintain their rights by opposing force with force, a course which every true lover of his country hesitates long before adopt ing, as it would give to our Territory, as it has given to the history of our sister Territory, j story of blood. 3d. To temporarily remove to some other. place where their, action would be free and untrammelled; where a majority of the Legislature might carry out the wishes of the people. Under similar cir cumstances, this was the course which a majority of the Nebraska Legislature deemed best to take, and upon their power to de so, we wish in all frankness and candor to express our views. The Legislature once having met and organized at the seat of Government, we know of no law, either organic or special, prohibiting them either directly or by in ference, from temporarily adjourning to some other place, should their safety de mand it. There beinsr no law to the con- - trary, their power to so adjourn follows in due order or sequence, irom first and fundamental principles. The necessity that Legislative action should be free, and the right of the people so to demand it, and we hesitate not in saying that any law depriving them of such power would be unwise in thft extreme and fraught with infinite mischief. Having the power to so adjourn we submit that they are the sole and exclusive judges of the necessity demanding it We hold that it is not competent for either, the Executive pr Judicial department to pass upon and decide the amount of violence either threatened, or actuallYpprp;,-ry to.intTmidate this or that member, and thus render an adjourment to some other place imperative. The connection of the Executive with the Legislative department is for specific purposes, and for those who are acquaint ed with the past history of our Territory, it is not difficult to understand that to make the power of the Legislature to ad journ dependent on the approval of the Executive, might be to place the dearest rights of the people at the mercy of a sin gle man, sympathizing with the few trampling these rights under foot. With these views we did not deem it necessary to consult the then Executive, in regard to our adjournment on the 8th inst. To that portion of your Excellency's communication in which you speak of the Capital having been located at Omaha City, in the county of Douglas, and of the concurrent action of the Governor, and of the Legislative Assembly being required to remove it, we need not reply at length as the Legislative Assembly now in ses sion at Florence has never assumed that the seat of Government of our Territory had been removed to that pjace, but have only claimed the right cf the Legislature convened at the seat of Government, to adjourn for good causes to some other place, and there proceed to discharge its legitimate function. ' In regard to our mode of adjournment, which you question, we would say that we have been unable to find any provision in our urganic act or elsewhere, requiring that it should be by joint resolution, and we look upon the absence of any such pro vision in the Organic act as proof of the wisdom and the foresight of its framers and supporters, among whom jwe take great pleasure in remembering that your Excellency was not the least prominent. The same circumstances which made our adjournment imperative, might, as in our case, render, an adjournment by joini resolution impossible. ' Such a mode of adjournment being in effect to. thwart the mob in their opposition, would in every conceivable case meet with the same re sistance as the matter, which originally incited it. .... The action of the Council and House of Representatives in the adjourment to this place was in all but a technical sense con current. The House being called to?eth er at 9 o'clock A. M., adjourned to meet at Florence at 10 o'clock A. M. nextday. The Council meeting at 10 o'clock'A.M. when the fact of the adjournment of the House to the time arid place was no torious both in and out of the Council. had its Journal read and proceeded regu larly in the order of business, and 'upon motion, adjourned to the same time and place. It only remains to say, in further proof of the concurrent action of the two Houses hat they both met at the time and place fixed uponinthe adjournment, and at once entered reciprocally upon their legitimate duties in the enacting of useful and- ne cessary laws for the welfare of the people of the Territory. Your Excellency suggests the strange spectacle of a Council in one place, the House in another, and the Executive at still another, as being a possible operation of the power which we claim. With all due deference td the opinion of your Ex cellency, we do not think that recognizing the majority of both Houses adjourned to a place other than the seat of Government as the Legislative Assembly, would as of course compel j-ou to recognize them as such if scattered at different places over the Territory. We. are free to admit that such a state of facts would in all probability leave the Territory without any Legislative Assem bly capable of making laws. . : Being a separate and distinct branch of our Government having the power to adjourn to another place, and being sole and exclusive judges of the. necessity de manding it we protest, against .any as sumption of power over us, such as is claimed by the Executive branch of our government; and it being our exclusive province to make the law, we demand from those who decide and execute the law, the recognition of our acts as ema nating from the law-making power of the land the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Nebraska. ; , We regret with you the unhappy state of - affairs in which you find our Territory but we regret it as men who have had an unwelcome course of action forced upon them, v In conclusion, permit us to say that mnvever rrrnrh . . oice as to thp r.
