Representatives . ia National Council assembled, csrii, not disregard that principle which gare: birth to Ameri can independence that corner stone upon which has been erected; 'and we believe is destined to remain, this Heaven favor ed and world admired Republic of ours. Right will triumph ! It may be slow ssme 'times in achieving its victory ; but it must and will prevail in the end. - -As regards .' Kansas difficulties,", we -have always" studiously avoided discussing hem V believing they arc local and belong exclusively within her own boundaries. When matters reached Congress, how ever, and when natianal principles .'were involved, and we in Nebraska particularly interested in the establishment of a pre cedent by the first adraistiotfunder- the "Kansas-Kebraika Act," we. 'acknowl edge that we felt no ordinary degree of interest ;; and ; have endeavored plainly and 'calmly 'to advance our views." We iiave not however attacked, 'nor assumed in antagonistic position to' the Adminis tration, as some are prone to construe, by o doiiwr.- .We have -ever, and do yet en tertain- the most exalted opinions of 44he patriotism and statesmanship cf 'Mr. Bu chanan. We. believe him to be.desif ous, perhaps extremely sofor the welfare of 4he- nation-over which he 'presides. We understand hi policy his ol-ject in recommendirig'lhe''ado"ption'of . the Le compton Constitution viz: riot to'-fore iip'on Kansas a Constitution, but to force Jthefcpeople of Kansas into a position where they must settle their own affairs, and close the'subject of. national agitation. This'pohcy is right in itself, and w6. en dorse it fully, freely and, cheerfully, '. But with many thousands cf others contend that it could not be carried into effect without sacrificing fundamental principles. . 'Heretofore, in political parties, the masses have iollowea ieaaers, biinaiv as it were,' without ; stopping to investigate each for himself. - That day i3 passed, and no party mint cspect that degree of subserviency in the latere. Nor must it fall out with, or attempt to Tead out of ranks because thereof ! Nor must it ap ply the guillotine, or make . adherance in detail, tests, or. qualifications for ;ofncia position! jor bestowal , of patronage. Breaches because cf honest differences of opinion, can be healed ; or harmonized by prudent and well directed efforts. 'Popular Sovereignty" js an inherent "-principle in every enlightened, intelligent heart ; and Is it increases in age it i also increases in vigor, energy, strength, and power. Political tricksters may for a lime occasionally check its onward progress, by smothering it beneath some, ponderou: ism of other ; but "it only sleepeth," ' and will rise again," and with gigantic strides continue its onward march, until it shal lave asserted its power over ; the world PaMlc Sale ofthe Saaallcrs Hcnies " The time may have passed for news paper articles respecting the above sub iect, as u nas oeen aeciaea to brio? our lands into market In the month of Sep tember. All we tan do is to express our .deep regret that our . much respected "Uncle S&tn" is thus financially compe! led to force to public sale many an honest pioneer 8 home. We regret it, not' only on account of those already here ; but on account of the thousands who will soon emigrate to our Territory. As matters now stand, there is a great - stimulus to migration, and if no sale comes oil" for a few years, , our country will be densely settled by persons for whose special ben efit the Pre-emption Law was designed. If this could be done the benefits of the law would be apparent. ' But suppose a" public sale takes place at the time mentioned, no one can deny that the . consequence will be injurious; very indeed. Those of ' our settlers who have not as yet accumulated a sufneiency to enter their lands at our Land Offices, will in many cases be compelled to encum- .them with mortgages, tn order to . obtain I the means to avoid the auctioned hara- men Some doubtless will experience the painful scene of their hemes being bid off .to some one else. . .We cannot help thinking .such a. pre mature effort to bring ca a public sale cf the lands,' at least in this district, highly injurious to the settlement this country . We want settlers. Sell our lands, let ; them pass in the hands of capitalists, and we had just as well "hangup the fiddle," and bid farewell to Nebraska. time for sales was fixed for the enmm?
