Reception Address
Of Hon. John F. Kinney, to his Excel
lency Governor Richardson, at Jbras
ha Ciiy, February Slh, 1856.
GoVEaKOB RlCHABDSO t
Sir As the selected medium for ex
pressing to you the sentiments of the peo
ple of Nebraska, due alike to your dis
tinguished s.ation and person ; , it is' with
pleasure that I bid ypu welcome as Gov
ernor to this lerritory.
Ordinary ceremonies upon an occasion
like this, would be characterized with more
of form than feeling, more of respect due
to the office, than-admiration or friend-
ship for the man; ' but sir,-in extending to
you a hearty welcome, deference for your
executive position, and a, high apprecia-
tion of your character as. a statesman, and
the affection we entertain for you as a man
are harmoniously blended; and together
constitute the felicity of the people, and
the cordiality of the greeting. 1 V hue we
are mindful that as the head of tlus Govern-
ment you are entitled to our confidence
and support; yet a deeper, warmer and
more intense feeling pervades the
hearts of the masses, when they ; re-
cur to your past history; your associations
the important part you bore in tha great
struggle for the rights which we now en-
joy, ami the indissoluble connection which
must ever exist between you , aird the
Government, over which you are called to
preside. ; i ; .
. Bold and prominent in American his-
tory will ever appear the procedings of
the Congress of 1S54, and the brightest
page of that history is the one which re-
cords the speeches and votes of a Cass,
a uougias, a Kicnarason, ana ineir as-
sociates in favor of the Act which gave
Kansas and Nebraska an existence, and
restored the people or the lerruones tneir
political rights. .- -
For many long years the national halls
had been made the theater for the agi-
tation of the slavery question, and fearful
and heart-sickening were the dramas per-
ormed. W hen the people of a Territory
brmed a State Constitution and presented
it at the door of Congress praying for ad -
mission into the Union as a sovereign
State, if with a provision adopting slave:
rv, at once the Representatives of the
Northern States were arrayed against it,
and if without slavery, it usually met with
ike opposition from the Representatives
01 the south, ine iree otates, jeaious 01
a . srsn m C . . 1
a preponderance of political power in our
national councils from the slave. Mates
and those of the South alike jealous that
the preponderance might be in favor ot
the North, came in collision; and for a long
series of years in the earlier history of
the country tae strusrsle was desperate,
and promised a speedy overthrow of the
Constitution. During all this struggle, is
it not passing strange, that the great prin-
ciple of popular sovereignty, which am-
mated the fathers of the Republic in f ra-
ming the American Constitution, was not
boldly proclaimed, and the people left free
to regulate their domestic institutions in
their own way? But,sijr, Instead of re-
ernng this vexed question to the people,
the only source of political power, it was
attempted to be disposed of by taking the
right from the people, by the act admit-
ting Missouri into the Union, thereby vi
olating one of the most sacred constitu
tional privileges belonsriner to freemen, I
need not say to you sir, that by the re
strictive feature of that act, the people should find, willing and gratefulhearts
were prevented within the new Territo- ready to receive and welcome yoi wher
ries thereafter formed North and West of ever you appear. If ft be said tat our
the limits prescribed, from regulating all sister Territory presents a differnt pic-
their domestic institutions in their own way.
The right of the people to form such a
Constitution on this subject as they might because of foreign interference to revent
desire, was not only taken from them, but the free operation of those princips; be
a denial of the riglt necessarily reflected cause the people have not beenpemitted
upon their intelligence, ignored their ca-
pacity, and struck a deadly blow at the
verv princiole of self government.
Notwithstanding this attempt to banish
the subject of slavery . from - Congress, it
still continued the forum for angry discus-
sion,and politicians, designing demagog-
ues, and fanatical orators, iouna in it a
fruitful subject for engendering discord and
producing alienation between the North
and South. bo fierce did the contest be-
come that in 1S50 the Constyution was on-
ly saved from utter wreck by a Lass,
Dougla's, a Clay and a Webster rallying
with united power to the rescue. Hence
the so called Missouri Compromise, affect
ed at so great a sacrifice of principle, ut-
terly failed in driving the subject of sla-
very from the National Legislature. The
Constitution had been violated nnd no prac
tical cood accomplished.
I have this sir, given a very brief out
line of the antecedent history, for the pur-
pose of expressing to you the feelings of
the people, in favor of legislation divorcing
the government from further connection
with this dangerous .subject, in favor of
beinsr restored !o their rights under the
Constitution to settle this question them-
selves, and for the purpose ot bringing out
in more bold relief the part you took
that ever memorable act, which is certain
to accomplish these desirable objects. '
In 1S)4, the Kansas-Nebraska bill was
introduced into the Senate of the United
States by Mr. Douglas, chairman of the
committee on Territories. In this bill the
doctrine upon this subject is for the first
time correctly inaugurated. It provides for
the repeal of the Missouri restriction and
the people of these Territories are left
free to regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way; thereby restoring to
them the rights taken from them by the
act admitting Missouri, and transferring
the forum for the discussion a'4 decision
of this mischievous question f ro the Halls
of Congress, where it gave umistakalle
evidence of the early decadete of the
Republic, to the people to be aTected by
it, where it properly lelongs, and ever
should have remained. 1 .
Your friend and associate, te distin
guished senator from Illinois, te- author
of the bill took the lead, and thi hercule
an task of accomplising this rc'ormation
was committed to the hands of let great
man. The opposition made p4 the bill
in the Senate, the bir.er invecVes and
unmeasured abuse poured out "toon the
head of its distinguished author, orm the
back ground to the finest politico picture
ever drawn upon legislative canisThe
bill sought to correct an evil tha ad been
persisted in for thirty-four year and it
could not. reasonably be expected)iat the
government could purge itself from a
wrong so long continued, wij.hout)olitical
throes, groans and shrieks. It Wht to
restore the doctrine of the sovergnty of
the people, and in this particularyas but

that they are capable of self government
By it there is no inhibition upon te now-
er of the people, in framing the: State
Constitution, except that lmposedby' the
Constitution, of the United States,to-wit:
"Republican in form." ; Subjecte to the
ordeal of an elaborate discussiorin the
Senate, by which it gathered strogth, it
passed that body, and was committe main
ly to your hands in the other winoof the
Gapitol. Here too, the till was fieiely as'
Uailed, and, if possible, the struggj more
desperate, the contest more severe;nd the
fight more merciless, than in th other
branch of Congress. Still, sir, yoi never
faltered, and it is a part of the hiory of
the times that without your extraoflinary
enorts in 11s oenair it never couia tve be
come a law.' It passed ; the Territry was
organized; this desirable country pened

free government, with the right bf the

we point you to forty thousand soiB, pros
I perous and happy, with grateful h&rts for
your kind ellorts in reclaiming trs coun
try from the hunting .ground of he red

of Nebraska.
As the political result of your labrs, we
point you to the peace and quiet "wbh have
reigned supreme since our orgatzation,
and the universal satisfaction ; tat per
vades the people m knowing that ley are
I permitted to regulate their donistic in
stuutions in their own way. , ; '
As the pecuniary results of theforma-
tion of our Territory we refer ya to the
hundreds who came here poor, ;nd are
now enjoying the blessings of inepend
ence and wealth, burely it is apppnate
and fit that one who has been instrmental
in accomplishing these objects, ancprodu
cing these results, sh&ald be ou Chief
Executive; and it is but natural tat you
ture from this, we can truthfully rply, it
is no fault of the principles of the fct,but
in their own way to regulate their wndO'
mestic institutions. : - .
As to the character of vour cnsti'tU'
ents, 1 may be permitted to remak, that
they are distinguished for their ertrprize
and intelligence, i ou have alrady no
need among the strangers and crtiznsyou
met at tne seat or government, mi large
proportion of educated men. A hihtone
of moral and religious sentiment ptains
throughout the settled portion of tq l er
ritry. The hunting ground of tb red
a man has become the resting plae for
Christianity, and where but threeyears
ago was not to be found ought but tvage
- relics, and barbarous customs, you nw see
flourishig cities with fine churches eected
for the worship of the only true God This
very spot on which you now stand le$ than
- four years since, was the favorite found
where the Indian, tired of the arausments
- of the chase, or fatigued with the annas
of battle, resorted to dress his furs,count
the scalps of his enemies, and celbrate
his victories. In the place of this, yu now
behold a fine city of near three thusand
souls, stately buildings and all the uxury
and refinement of an old settled cantry:
If such has been it3 infant growtl what
j must be its future manhood.
in But sir, Nebraska City stands notalone
other cities of scarcely less impctance
unite in bearing testimony to the nagica
influence cf the organic law, in bmging
to the Western banks of the Missciri, an
industrious, enterprizing and inteligent
population. i
That which has takeii years to iccom-
plish in other territories than Nraska
and Kansas, has here been performed in
as many months. In nearly all r vil-
lages you will find churches, Masotc and
Odd Fellows halls, and last, but ni least,
GoodTemplars.holding their weekPmeet-
ings; all contributing to the elevatpn, so-
chl and moral improvement of the people.
Such, sir, thecountry, and such the peo
ple,' orer'whom yoa are called to preside
such thecdnnecting link between you and
them ; and such the spontaneous, and ever
cherished feelings fresh from their hearts
in their salutation of welcome.
We are not unmindful of the social sac
rifice you made in leaving theState that has
so often honored you with a seat in the
INational Councils. Vhile we sympathize
with you in the separation from old, tried,
true, personal and political friends, we
congratulate ourselves upon! the acquisi
tion; and send to Illinois greeting; that
her loss is Nebraska's gain. Your ante
cedents have been, where .your sjmpa
thies led you', with the. people, and hence
you cannot fail to preserve intact the po
tency of their will in regulating all their
domestic institutions. , At the helm of
Sta'e', thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of the Nebraska act, with a ready and
willing crew, ycu will easily avoid the
rock apon which our sister Territory well
nigh made shipwreck. To your hands is
committed a great resposibility. It will
fall to your lot to bear a prominent part in
shaping our institutions, and directing the
destiny of Nebraska. .Much is to be ac
complished in guiding her through a ter
ritorial existence, giving to her a consti
tution; and adorning this child of Demo
cratic birth for occupying the seat that
rightfully belongs to her among the sis
terhood of States.
With the utmost confidence in your abil
ity to discharge your high mist, assuring
you of the cordial co-operation of the peo
ple, I again bid you welcome as Governor
of Nebraska.

. The "Scarlet Petticoat" has made its
appearance in Broadway. Queen Victo
ria was bewitched by the appearance of
the Scotch lassies about Balmoral Castle,
in red petticoats, and metropolitanized the
style by causing it3 introduction into Lon
don. ' The first of the red petticoats in
this country was one worn by Lady Gore
Oiseley, in Washington, a fortnight since.
All the promenaders of Pennsylvania Av-
enue were dazzled with it. The N. Y.
Herald says of its introduction into Broad
way: It was on Saturday afternoon in Broad
way, when the flaneurs were astonished
ana aengntea cy two pretty women wear
ing the scarlet petticoat. The storm had
ceased the sun shone for. the first time
in two days and the avenue was crowd
ed with ladies, who had come out for a lit
tie fresh air. The heroines in scarlet had
pretty feet and ankles, and they trinped
daintily along, holdii g their gowns clear
of mud and wet of the pave. It wa3 pret
ty, neat, tasteful, piquant and altogether
distractingly . tempting. The scarlet pet
ticoat has its uses and will save many i
rich silk from ruin. It is too short to
drabble in the mud and a spot of dirt will
hardly show upon it. The scarlet petti
coat needs, though, a pretty foot, well
shaped ankle, neat boots and white stock
ings of purity above suspicion. So equip
pea, the slayer ot male hearts may go
forth conquering and to conquer. Some
ot the petticoats are made with stripes
which ha3 a pretty effect ; and they are
all of substantial stuff, which will not be
blown about by every wind, doctrinal or
otherwise.
The Herald has also to say of the new
style, which is fully up to the dignity of
demanding a leading article in that jour
nal: . f
Ourladv readers will hardly need to be
told that the Queen of England has a very
beautiful castle at Balmoral, on the banks
of the dark rolling Dee, where she takes
her pleasures and the Prince Consort
shoots grouse in August and September,
and from whence certain Caledonian fash
ions have lately been introduced by high
er circles in England. It so happens that
the Queen, when visiting Balmoral, is al
ways received by a sort of triumphal pro
cession, the prettiest episode in which is
a bevy of Scottish maidens and matrons
wearing the scarlet petticoat, with the
gown looped up at the side, the hem of
the petticoat touching the ankle. The
Queen has adopted the fashion, and so
have many of the ladies of the Court. It
has not been long in crossing the Atlan
tic, and was first introduced at Washing
ton by Lady Gore Ouseley, and has al
ready received the endorsement of sev
eral of the prettiest promenaders in Broad
way. . Have not all the poets sung
the praises of the petticoat ? Who doe3
non remember the lines of Sir John Suck
ling: .
Her feet beneath ner petticoat
Like little mice, fctole in and out,
At U theyfeare! the libt.
And Byron, who says it is
a garment of much mrsiicn! sublimity,
Whether it be oX ruaet, silk, or dimity.
-
So we say success to the scarlet petti
coat for the the street, the white for the
drawing-room. Eugenie gave U3 the

her-taste in dress, the scarlet pettkoaL

Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parta. l ou re going to throw me
out of the gnrae and go it alone. The
odds is agin you Eb, but remember al
ways that industry and perseverance are
the winning curds; they are the 'towers.'
Book larning and all that sort of thing will
do to fill up with, like small trumps but
you must have the bowers to back 'em,
else they am t worth shucks. If lucif. runs
agin you pretty strong, don't cave in and
look like a sick chicken' on a rainy 'day,
but hold your head up ' and make' believe
you are flush of trumps; they won't play
so hard agin you.' I haTe lived and trav
eled around some, Bob, and I've found out
that as soon as folks thought that you held
weak hand, they d all buck agm you
rong. So when you're sort o' weak,
keep on a bold front, but play cautious;
be satisfied with a p'int. Many's the
hand I've seen euchred 'cause they play
ed for too. much. Keep' your eyes well
skinned, Bob; don't let 'em "nig" on you;
the game lays as much. with the head as
the hands. ' Be temperate and never get
drunk, for then no matter how good your
hand, you won't know how to play it; both
bowers and the ace won t save you, for
there's sartin to be "miss deal,1 or some
thing wrong. And another thing, Bob,
(this was spoke in a low tone) don't go
too much on the women, queens i3 kinder
poor cards; the more you tive of em the
worse for you; you might have three and
nary trump. I don't say discard 'em all;
if you get hold one that's a trump, it's all

four. And above all. Bob, be honest, nev
er take a man's trick wot don't belong to
you, nor "slip" cards, or "nig," for then
you can't look your man in the face, and
when that's the case there's no fun' in the

Take a Paper for Yoar Wife.
A friend, says an exchange, telta us a
story in relation to ono of hia subscribers,
which contains a good moral for husbands
and furnishes an example for wives, which
is not unworthy of imitation undef similar
circumstances: .
The subscriber referred to, said it had
been his intention to call at the ofSce, and
pay his arrears, and discontinue the pa
per. 7 ' '
. His wife very promptly asked : -
"Why do you intend to discontinue your
payer?',
" Because," said the husband, "I am so
much away from home on business, and
have so little time to read, there seems
little use to take a paper."
"Yes," she replied, "it may be but lit
tle use to you, but it is of great use to me
I remain at home, and if you stop the pa
per, I'll era straight to town and subscribe
for it myself ."
Beautiful.
The following lines are from the pen o
Geo. D. Prentice :
" Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over us with a beauty that is
not of earth, and then pass away, and
leave us to muse on faded loveliness? Why
is it that the stars that hold their night
festival around the midnight throne, are
placed above the reach of our limited fac
ulties, forever mocking us with their un
approachable glory? . And why is it that
the bright forms cf human beauty, are
presented to our view and then taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams of affec
tion to flow back in almighty torrents upon
the human heart ? e are born for
higher destiny than that of earth. There
is a land where the Etars" will be set out
before us like islands that slumber in the
ocean, and where the beautiful beings that
pass before us like a meteor, will stay in
our presence forever." . .

A few days ago, in Berwick, Maine, a
good honest looking country fellow was
looking at the telegraph wires with aston
ishment. A passer by asked him what he
thought of it. "Waal, I don't know ex
actly," replied the fellow, "but I am sure
they wont get me to ride on the darned
thing them thar wires and posts would
tear my breeches all to pieces !"
"Is this clean butter?" inquired the gro
cery keeper of a" green one from the
country; "Guess it ort to be," was the
reply, "for it took the old woman and
boys ever since Friday to pick the hairs
outofiL"
A gentleman asked a lady the other day,
why so many tail gentlemen were bachel
ors. The reply was, that they were
obliged to lie cornerwiseinthebedtokeep
their feet in, and that a wife would be in
the way."

Curious Typographical Error.
Professor Trench, in his latest work on
the English language, points to a furious
typographical error in the 20th verse of the
:d chapter cf Matthew. Th " word
"which strain at a gnat and swallow a
camel," the professor thinks contain a
mirprint, which having been pa:ed over
.1 I. ..t.
in me eamon ct ion, has held r.s ground
ever since. The ' translators intended tu
say, "which strain out a gna:,: and" swal
low a camcV? that being tlje correct ren
dering of the original, as appears inTyns
dale's and Cranmar's translations, both
cf which hare- "strain cf." It was
the custom cf the stricter Jew? to'strain
their wine, vinegar and other portables
through linen or cause-, lest unaware! they
should drink down some LittI-3.. unclean in
sect, as a gnat, and thu3 transgress tho
Levitical Ia. It was to this custom tha
Savior alluded, intending to jay that th
bcTi&es and Pharisees, while they strain
out a gnat from their drink, would yet
swallow a camel at one gulp. . ,v '
