" , i 1 1 ii 1. 1, ii i in hi mi iiiibiii t-itt"mmw' THE ADVERTISER. R..W. FURNAS, EDITOR. Our Position. k Tin our last issue we said socscinxng ut Democracy; proDaDiynoi iuuiutui . however, and therefore propose now to say something more. In the first place, we profess to be gov erned in cor political views by principle; and although we may have choice of men or party to xarry out those principles, yet ' they are not essentials. If the Democra tic jartj will see that they are enforced to the fullest extent, without partiality to either the North or the South nat ional in the fullest sense then we cannot withhold our support from such a party. Bat a failure orTefttsal to dispense Tqual justice to all sections 6r the Union, can never no, never receive our sanction or support! We arV for the Union, the "whole Union.. The principles to which we refer more particularly at present, are embodied in the "Kansas-Nebraska Act," and in the Platfonn adopted by the Cinsinnati Dem ocratic Convention. Such doctrine as is seTTOrtnlgmesa tuoaoTmsgEXSTre ad- 'mire as the trjia-doctr.inend subscribe - to it fully and cheerfully. Previous to the assembling of the Le compton Convention, all parties; Demo . cratic or otherwise, had imbibed the idea or doctrine of submitting all local mat- ; ters to the people for rejection or ratifica tion. This especially was to act as a pal liative for the repeal of the Missouri Com- . promise, and that ever afterward the vexatious question of slavery was to be . disposed of, as other domestic affairs, by the vote of the people directly interested. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise was opposed by argument that "plighted faith V was being violated. On the other hand, the advocating argument was, "a fundamental and chsrished principle lies f mothered,", and will thus be re-ushered with the brilliancy of the noon day sun. The sequel of the "Repeal" is familiar to observers cf public affairs, and we confess we feel an interest of some mag nitude, in seeing the promises set forth in the "Kansas and Nebraska Act" faith fully, impartially, and fully redeemed. Let each and every citizen entitled to the right of suffrage, come up and deposit his vote for or against any domestic regula tion slavery, banks, taxation, school sys tem, or anything else in which his inter ests are involved. - If the act under which we have been organized only extends to a single "domestic affair," then indeed have we misunderstood the term "popul sovereignty." We hope for the sake of Nebraska and Democracy that it means . something more ; that we may be allowed to "regulate our own domestic institutions" in such a manner as may seem to us best calculated to promote our interests and happiness; subject only the Federal is whuinm. lifant this power to us, and the beauties of self ' government are discernable. Let us enjoy in the broad est sense, the right to establish or reject any institution, m which we alone are con iiucu. j. umers, aisiani or near. should meddle with bur affairs or dictate to us, so long as we follow the land marks laid down by the Constitution of the Uni ted Slates. " Uur position is in strict accordance . with our Organic Constitution, and, be- lieving thus, we shall adhere to it, though deserted by others now, or at any other period.. It is the only principle, in our humble opinion, calculated to cement to gether, in the bonds of peace and friend ship, the North and the South, to calm the sea of excitement which for three years past has threatened to inundate our heaven favored country in the horrors of an in ternal sectional war. Let such a princi ple be enforced, and no danger of such a ' calamity need be apprehended; nationa peace will be restored, and the Union of the States perpetuated. The man who fearlessly vindicates the free and untrammelled right of the peo ple to manage their own affairs in their own way without- the interference of . Iowa, Missouri, Massachusetts, or South .. Carolina is the man who will receive the cheerful support of every good Demo crat throughout the Union. Who is that man? Can any one point out the lion of Popular Sovereignty ?" Time will show who he is, and his brow will ere long be twined with honors, fame and glory ! . Emigration West We notice some, of our exchanges ad ranee the idea of a small emigration west this season, in consequence of the intense 'tightness of the times. We cannot acqui- , ess in this idea; believing the cause men lioned will induce thousands . to try their fortunes in the .West. .'They may not emigrate as early, in the season as usual; delayed in all probability on account of gathering together the remnants conse quent of the crisis which has ' swept over our country. Many, also, will be com- .'pelled to tarry awhile in order to dispose of such property as cannot well be brought with them. 'These and other matters may act as preventives to emigration for reveral months; after which, we may tafely predict a heavy emigration to all portions cf the Missouri and ilississippi vallies. . - r-We know there are thousands anxious :2id willing "to make homes" in'the West; tsi thit they will "take up their line of m. Mr1 dav : or as soon as LuAlVil Bt ill J ' I rirrrnn.tances Will permit. Many may be left behind until another season, yet determined to be with us as soon as pos- ' it is useless, w "'"J wv . . .

' ' SDeakin? of emiirraticn, the St. Louis 1 o w , . Republican says : "The few boats that have already ar rived here from the Ohio river, have been crowded with emigrants for Missouri, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska. Compared with former seasons, the present has al ready given us quite as flattering pros pects of large emigration as any which have preceded it. The usual time for the tiae 01 111 e 10 set towarus iue tTesiuas not yet come. Secondly, tne great nnan cial storm which lately swept over the whole country, has left but the wrecks of fortune to many who have heretofore? uxunated in opulence m their eastern nomes. mere are several causes wny this state of things should , turn the steps - -1 of such towards the West, as almost the only means left them of retrieving their wealth and standing. The Cincinnati Gazette, in noticing the beginning 01 tne emigration trom mat city says: "The Fred Tron cleared for the Mound City at dusk, with the finest trip this season. It was down to the guards, having onboard 600 tons of mis- cellaneous articles, 43 horses and . 109 passengers. The Tron has engagements of families at Aurora, Lawrenceburg and a 1 11 Madison, destined for the West. From all appearences the emigration this sea son will be very large, having commenc ed so early. The number this year; bound est, will exceed any previous year. They go from Indiana, Ohio and Penn sylvania, taking money, implements of in dustry, strong hands and enlightened un derstandings. This is the character of the emigration beginning to pour upon tne nroaa lanas ot tne iree vesi, .1 . Ill .! Tl' and its effects are incalculable. The steamers every one of them from Cin cinnati, Pittsburg and Louisville, will take their cabins crowded with human beings, to add to the population of the vast West."

The chamber.'' in every part was as densely crowded as possible. On the announcement of the vote there was a slight applaud in the galleries interming led with a few hisses, but no extraordi nary excitement was manifested. Next President. Notwithstanding Nebraska may not have a voice in the election of the next President, we may be allowed to ven ture a prognostication that the man who favors the principle of admitting Territo ries into the great sisterhood of States, without , fairly and squarely submitting their Constitutions to the people,cannot be elected to the office of President of the United States! . A principle of this kind is at variance with democracy, and highly antagonistic to the true policy of all rep ublican governments. If such is to be the corner stone of Democracj' such the precedent for future federal action we are certainly correct in predicting a death blow to any man or party who attempts to carry it through a presidential campaign. We are reluctant to believe democrats, who are true friends to the peace and weli-being of the Union, favor this prin ciple. ' Admit that the free state party in Kan sas did not do right in refusing to partici pate in the election of delegates ton con vention to frame their Constitution; is that any reason why those who were elected should commit a greater wrong ? Because a power was invested in theinas delegates; were they justified in stiffing the voice of the people. We think not. We know not, nor do we care, what political party onginaieu uie " ,. . , .

Fenner Ferguson is watchful over the affairs of Nebraska is a popular and worthy gentleman, and is increasing his circle of friends every day. II We are tinder special obligations to to Uncle Sam's lightning mail line for recent favors, of late nnd important news files- For some time past, we have found great aimcuuy, owing to tne small supply ot exenanses. in tindinjr news sumaent . -.W CJ t0 fill our paper 0n Tuesdav iast ADr:; 6, we received a cartload of mail matter of dates ranging back to November 1857.

A gentleman from one of. our neigh poring towns intormed us that the post master who kept a store recently swept out his store, and cleaned out the rubbish from under the counter, and the conse quence was. everybody in town received I " 1 oaT..o1 1riffk 1 newspapers, mostly however or ancient V m dates, and were valuable only as relics of antiquity If there is no future state of punishment there ought to be, and "front seats reserv ed" next to the stove, for the special ben efit of such a class of postmasters.

Ye Squatters. The Plats have been received at the Land Office in this city for nearly or quite all the surveyed lands in the Dis trict. Now all you who have been wait ing with such anxiety to pre-empt your claims, come along , "all things are now in readiness." Home Correspondence. Omaha, April 1,1853. Dear Fcrx as: -Navigation has opened with cheering prospects to those who have regained during the dull season , of winter. Old friends are returning by the first steam ers, and new emigrants are making their appearance for the first time in Nebraska; some of whom are looking for ' homes amon us ; others endeavoring to better their fortunes by making locations higher up the Missouri: All who have been ab sent to avoid the - inclemency of the cold months, have returned satisfied that the Territory possesses "attractions which those older regions have long since lost, and which never can be recalled or re gained sufficiently for the edification of those who have mingled with the business and : resided , any length of time in the West, , and become acquainted with its usually lively appearance, customs and manners. Capital is seeking investment, and already property begins , to change for cash on good terms for the purchaser. Now is the best time for investments in western lands arid town property that may be expected for many years to come, as prices have run down to mere nuuuua figures, and in many instances propcuj sold for much less than tne cost ox ouuu- ing. SALES. V ' Within a short time pastseveral sales have been mada at moderate prices, at private salesv ' ;v . ' v A three story' brick apartment 01 a block 22 by 60 feet, sold for $4800, which is several thousand dollars less than it cost or could now be erected for. Another small "store house; 'about 16 by 32 feet, one story high,) 22 feet lot, near Western Exchange Bank, 'sold for about -$1300. ' "A 22 feet lot.hear said Bank, for $900. The 'above lots ire "all on AFarham street," in the most business portiorrof the city, and well situated. - ' Another 22 feet lot was sold on Harney near the Douglas House, for $500. TfiP lnw ranrro nf the above PHCeS IS not caused by a lack of confidence in Ne braska property, but because the neces sity of the seller compels the sacrifice, for the prospects are substantially better than they were a year since, although times are acknowledged to be dull at present. Instead of the high rates for city and farming property, which existed last year, and which detered many from buying and residing among us, and drove , thera to seek homes elsewhere, where they could use their means to better advantage, we now have the reduced prices to encouraj their investments, both for profit and im provement for their own occupancy. LABORERS AND MECHANICS. Nebraska and the Great West now ot fer extraordinary inducements to the common laborer and mechanic who are now reduced to limited means in the older sections of the United States, in conse quence of the failure to procure employ ment. In the West, they can find work at good living prices, when, at the same time, in the eastern por jion of the Union, they cannot labor at any price. .When times are good and work can be procured anywhere, then again the Wes is superior, for they can demand better wages and ready pay, and when they have earned their money, even in smal sums they can invest it profitable in pro curing cheap homes for themselves. The land sales in contemplation this fall will render them opportunities to purchase wild land at SI 25 per acre from government, or at small advances from original purchasers. " . More than' all that, a man of any in dustry and enterprise can besides amass ing wealth, show that he is one of the Almighty's noblemen ; ' but as long as he remains in those 1 old cities, he is reduced to the position of a servant. SOCIETY. Many object to emigrating West, fear mg that they cannot nnd good society and, at the same time, are mingling with those whose claims on enlightened and intelligent association is very limited, and whose condition in that respect would be enhanced by locating in Nebraska. Here is industry, enterprise, good society wealth, and intelligence, not to be excel led by the same number of persons mis cellaneously selected on the globe. The lazy and indolent drones and pau pers never get this far from their old and accustomed haunts, from the fact that they lack the energy, enterprise and means to4r travel, and you often hear them assert that they will not move out of the cities because they cannot find good so ciety. Emigrating to the West changes a person's disposition and nature in refer ence to things around them, encourages them to perseverence and industry to ac cumulate and lay up treasures for the fu ture, enlightens their understanding, and gives them confidence by their showing the good results that flow from industrial pursuits, and encouragement of intelligent and industrious neighbors. MAILS. Letters mailed at Omaha for Brown ville, Spt. 28, 1857, have just been rec eived by return mail, being six months from the time they were written. This is depending on the mail for quick news with a vengeanbe. A short time since, whilst visiting a city of Nebraska, I noticed the mail bag lying on the hotel porch, and had been there from early in the morning on Sun day until after dark. When the tavern keeper's attention was drawn to it by a gentleman 'making the enquiry why it was not taken to the post office, only a few rods distant; to which the landlord replied that itTvas a common occurrence to hang the bags on the knob of ' the post office door, and leave them all night in the absence of the post master. The mail bag in question, to my own knowledge, remained in the corner of the bar-room all night. This kind of carelessness I have often noticed whilst travelling in the West, both by mail carriers and post masters, which,' I think, would be a much better cause for removal than that of opposition to the Lecompton Constitution, which has already beheaded so many. ' ,- r ' POLITICAL. The democratic party is somewhat div ided here in referrence to the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Consti tution, but I believe the great majprity are opposed to it; Some of the would-be leaders of both divisions are determined to make the others show their positions, whilst the people care but little about the question, as thejrare tolerably well satisfied that he factions can and must come togetne: without compromising principle. t Tliere will be an !efibrt made' at the June convention at Plattsmouth to endorse President Buchanan, and also the Douglas party; then again there are others who contend that it will be better to confirm the Cincinnati platform for the present, as there is a strong probability that before the year terminates the entire party will be united, and the Kansas admission' pass- , 1 A. ' Alt ed as one 01 tne usual ongressiuuai uu.- f erences. It is to be hoped the party can reconcile its'opposite construction4 oftheir poiitical constitution, and fall into rank and file against the common enemy. - WAWKO. Democratic Party In Richardson Co, RuloI N. T.j' March 24, 1858. Pursuant to a call, the Democrats of Richardson Ccunty, Nebraska, met at Rulo.on the 24th day of March, 1858, at 1 o'clock, P. M., for the purpose of taking initiatory steps towards- oreranizinsr the Democratic party of Richardson county. j - t ' Meeting being called to order by Mr. Chas. Martin of Rulo, on motion of Mr. Hosneir, A. D, Kirk, Esq., of Rulo, was elected President, and Eli Bedard and E. H. Johnson, Secretaries. : On motion of Mr. McCullock, the fol lowing named persons were elected Vice Presidents, Eli Plant, B. F. , Cunning ham, Joseph Dendurant, and Marshal Jones, of Rulo; J. C Lincoln, of Salem; Ambrose Shelly, and J. P. Wrelty, of . w Archer. . On motion of M. H. Woodfir, Esq., .of Rulo, the Chair appointed a committee of six, composed of M. - H. Woodfir, Esq., P. B. McCoy, J. D. Ramsey, B. F. Cun ningham and J. Brazo, of Rulo, and J. Yount of Archer, to prepare and report Resolutions. The committee appointed to prepare and report Resolutions after retiring for a short time reported the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas this meeting believe the pre sent to be a great political crisis, wherein sectionalism is arrayed against the Union, the Constitution, and especially against the great conservative national Democra tic party; and Whereas we think that the doctrines advocated by Black Republicans through out the country, are dangerous to the Union and in direct opposition to the in terest of the people of Nebraska ; and Whereas we think it is time that every true Democrat should show to the world the position that he occupies on the im portant issues before the country; there fore Resolved as squatter sovereigns of Ne braska, That we fully endorse the Ne braska-Kansas Act, as being a true expo sition of the principles of our govern ment. Resolved, That we approve 'and endorse the Cincinnati Platform, as being: the great foundation upon which Democracy rests. Resolved, That we have full confidence in the statesmanship of President Bucha nan,' and in the ability of the eminent men of the nation selected by him as Ca- a. - binet advisers, and we believe the policy pursued by the present Administration calculated to promote the Union of the States, the peace of Territories, and the best interest of the Government. Resolved, That we are entirely opposed to the agitation of the slavery question in ine nans or uongress. Resolved, That we are in favor of the immediate admission of Kansas as a State under the Lecompton Constitution, with the unrestricted right to alter or amend her Constitution, thereby confer ing upon her people absolute and unquali fied sovereignty, with the power to form and control each and all of their political and domestic institutions in their own way, which is the best if not the only means by which the troubles in Kansas will cease to distract and disturb the country, and peace and order be restored to the Ter ritory. , Resolved, That the President and Sec retary sign the proceedings of this meet ing, and that the St. Louis Republican, St. Joseph Gazette, Marysville (Ky) Express, Iowa Point Enquirer, Omaha Nebraskian, and Brownville Nebraska Advertiser, be requested to publish the same. Hon. Chas.'McDonald, of Salem, was then called upon and addressed the audi ence, in brief but pointed terms, on the importance of an early organization; fol lowed by A. D. Kirk, of Rulo. On motion, delegates were appointed to attend a County Democratic meeting to be held at Salem N. T., on the first Tues day in May next. On motion, the meeting adjourned sine die. A. D. KIRK, President. E. H. Jonxsox, Secretary. The proceedings of' the Democratic meeting held at Rulo on : the 24th, was unavoidably crowded out of our columns last week. St Joseph Daily Gazette. Our enterprising neighbors, Pfocts & Cuwdiff of the St. Joseph Gazette, have commenced the publication of a daily pa per in that city. We wonder this has not been done before. The Gazette is of good size, well edited, well executed, and ought to be well sustained. We believe it will. St. Joseph people are famous for enterprise and go-a-head-a-tiveness.
