Pursuant to notice, a number of those
RVguilicans of this county desirous' of
paft'y organization, menu Johnson s Hall
in dais city on Saturday last. - We were
notf present, but are informed, that a
somewhat lengthy speech wfemade by a
Mrii)AiLT of Peru, after which "three
delegates were appointed , to attend the
Territorial Conventional Omaha.in June
next , .
)Y& cupgosd the object of the meeting
was simply for the purpose of appointing
delegates, and probably adopting resolu
tions setting forth "Yiews upon leading tia
tional questions, or home matters in which
the people of this Territory are interested.
SacK1 werealso the views those -who
sympathize -with the so called Rep
ublrcari J party entertained.'1 They were
surprised to such an extent, on finding an
opening and only, .speech launching
out into a general onslaught upon almost
'Svery body, an4 every idea not in strict
acc'ojancii r-with, fanatical notions upon
the prevalent topics of the day, . that but
fev participated in the meeting, and felt
that their cause bad been greatly harmed
-ha& been fatally stabbed in the outset.
W e ask no better evidence no strong-

have -always ' advocated, viz : no par

are a Territory than the efforts cf Sa

unnecessary for -ija to repeat, that we

position, either as a journalist or a private
citizep, in advocating those measures best
calculated to advance the true interests
of Nebraska and the Union. ' But for the!
present, we are convinced no good will
come of party organizations.
The speaker1 charged us with putting
the notice of his convention in small type,
whileour comments thereon was in that
of'a fnQch larger- size. ' ; Really that is so
foolish a pretext that we oughtgaot to re
vert to it. It was set In the same type'in
which we'blvreyi pit advertisements, no
tices of meetings, &c, which in all news
papers is smaller than -that for reading
matter. t We thought "to give it promi
nence as to position, and therefore placed
it in bur editorial'- columns instead of
among1 the advertisements where it pro
perly belonged.
' We think too, Mr. Daily,' that we are
understood politically by those who read
our paper. We war against fanaticism,
come from "where it" may. We think
"Dred- Scott"--"Bleeding Kansas"-
"The Constitution and Slavery" -"the
claims oFthe North" "The rights of the
South," "The Sea Serpent," "Mer
maid," Wooly- Horse,"., and such like
fopics, have long since been worn thread-
Dare. e tnink too, if you will stir
around among the people of "this com
munity," you will find there is a general
feeling adverse to . party lines; that , we
are nearly all "popular sovereignty'
preachers ; a strong feeling among the
masses in opposition ' to land sales ; all
good, intelligent, clever people, who are
anxious to build up this fair country of ours,
without mixing it up with all the isms of
the day ; and being thus posted, you
would not be compelled to" draw so enorm
1 .
ousiy on your imagination enouta you
again hold forth.
Land Sales.
As is well known to the Advertiser
j readers, we have ever been opposed to
v 1 1 - 1- 1 v. ' e
m: tiM WM-ialfor rmr v rtion. luw Puuul" iauua ueiDo ugui lo saie wr
.i t 3 : i en ai leasi
lue speaker was luittu, iu uiuci' iu uu
time', and carry out the oratorical display,
to enter into matters entirely foreign to
any Jinown party principles those of per
sonal or local, nature. . Such is, and
wilfbe the Inevitable course and result
of all party gatherings until we have
something about which to contend. For
instance the speaker pitched into "this
community" "land officers" "real es
tate dealers," &c, denominating them
'land sharks," and charging interference
in bringing, on land sales, and wound up
with a broad-sider into the Advertiser.
We know what effect this speech had up
on those who heard it it had a withering
pe upon the gentleman's own political
friends consequently shall be brief in
our remarks relative to it.
The remarks of Mr. Daily were un
called for, out of place, and illiberal, to
say the least of them. We are -disposed
to act on the principles of charity, how
ever, and attribute them more to ignor
ance m tne premises, than any desire to
purposely misrepresent. If we have
been correctly informed, the gentleman
has been in the county less than a year,
end consequently poorly posted as -to
what are the sentiments and feelings of
-"this community" upon the various mat
ters . in which tve' are interested. Land
"Sales, for instance. Those at all posted,
know .that there is perhaps no county in
1Nebraska'in which the citizens are more
generally opposed to Land Sales than in
Nemaha. ' Petitions have been circulated,
very generally signed, and sent on to the
, President, praying that no land sales be
ordered for at least two years. Our land
officers, Cols. Nixoa and Smith, have
"Very wisely in our opinion refrained from
- taking sides in this . matter. Their opi
:Zuons.were,,.pntil they witnessed the
workings of the Pre-emption laws in some
respects, decidedly adverse to public sales;
ahd now they sanction only the sales of
''moderate quantities along the river, that
- titles may be more speedily perfected. As
..to petitions being forwarded from this city
in favor of sales, it is all a mistake. No
such thing was ever done. Again, in re
1 gard to ''land sharks," we have no such
animals among us; not one in the county
.'. that we know of. We have in this city a
.v number of those who make out papers,
. and otherwise assist settlers in pre-empt-inj
ihfcir lands; dealers in land warrants,
&A,as legitimate and honorable business
as selling lumber, dry-goods, &c, surely.
A "land shark'' we understand to be one
iwha is a .heavy capitalist, . purchasing,
j holding, and thus monopolizing all valu
" - able lands he can get hold cf. - We know
none such hereabouts.
The Advertiser, we understood, was
charged with favoring land sale's affimes;
tiUnt at others, and ditto upon parly or-
two years to come.1 ; We have
advocated this from principle ; because we
were convinced that the best interests of
Nebraska would' thus be served; because
we belifi'ed it to be the wish of the hon
est squatters who first made the, .settle
merits in this Territory. We have always
thought and. yet think that to bring on
sales thus early is nothing short of tramp
ling under foot the rights of those who
had the courage to follow tbe retiring
footsteps of the savage, and with ' brave
hearts, stout arms and the implements of
husbandry, carve out new homes in. the
western wilds, forthemselves and their
children. Those pioneer's have just
now began to make the "roueh ' places
smooth ;" just getting their homes to as
sume some degree of comfort ; content
ment and happiness are just beginning to
peep out from beneath the ponderous
weight of inconveniences, deprivations
and hardships incident to the settlement
of new countries. To have sales now
brought on; to see our lands pass into the
hands of eastern capitalists, who have no
interest in common with us ; nothing in
view but the "almighty dollar," is crush
ing the last vestige of hope from the
heart of the toiling squatter.
We are ready now as before to admit
that there are arguments in favor of land
sales at present, which look well at first
glance; yet they all terminate in "making
the rich richer and the poor poorer." we
honestly belive
We have nothing in view but the future
interests of Nebraska in taking the posi
tion we do upon this question, and here
say to any gentleman whose views differ
from ours that our columns are open to
him. , '
We are glid to know that the peopl
who are directly interested in this matter
are moving ;, are holding meetings all
over the cottntry; circulating petitions
and will send on some cue or more per-
sons to corner wita.tne rresiaent. it is
possible a postponement of sales may yet
be effected. We hope so.
Nuckolls House.
The new hotel at Nebraska City is
completed and. has been in operation some
three weeks. - It is called the "Nuckoll's
House," in honor of S. F. Nuckolls,
Esq., whose capital, enterprise and indo
mitable perseverance has done more to
make that point what it is, than all else
combined ; the name is peculiarly appro
priate, from the fact that "Nuckolls" and
"Nebraska City" are almost synonimous
jerms. i . : , -v
The House is kept by Arxsthoxg &
Co., and from personal knowledge, we
take pleasure in saying, in a style which
ranks it as a first class hotel in any com-munitv.
TbatSbootlng Affair.
In our paper two weeks ago we,simply
announced the death cf "Joseph peroin,
chief of -the Otoe Indians, who was shoi-
by a man named Eeddow. Beddow gave
fcirnself cp to Sheriff Plasters, and last
week an examination or trial was held
before Justice Thompson of,. this city,
which resulted in the acquitta of the
defendant. We have not room foc4h&
evidence produced, which was all clear to
establish that the deed was committed in
self defence.
Briefly, the facts, elicited werp abotitas
ollows: Beddoiv was indebted to Derom
who, on the day of the unfortunate occur-
repcedemanded payment through oneqf
his subordinates. Beddow's reply, "had
not the money, but would pay as soon as
he could," was conveyed to Deroin, who,
being" intoxicated, ' declared " he would
have the monej or ' his life. '. Gathering
some half-dozen always in .readiness to
do his .bidding,, .himself armed with ;a
revolver, lariat and'liorse. whip, the
company started for Beddow's residence.
Beddow being apprised by a" friendly half
breed of the designs, went from his field
to the bouse and armed himself in time to
meet the approaching-party at the gate,
where ' a conversation commenced be
tween Deroin and Beddow, . in which of
course angry words passed between them
Saying, ! will please you,f' Deroin com
menced drawing', his revolver; Beddow
was however too quick for him, drew his
and shot hira dead m mz tracks the
ball passing through his heart. Beddow
them made his escape to the woods, where
he remained until after night, when he
made his way to this city; and gave
himself up as above stated.
' Home Correspondence. .,;
St. Stephen, JV. T., April 24, 1838.
Mr. Editor:'
In noticing your paper, I- have seen a
solicitation from you to persons living in
tne territory, in regard ta its progress,
as well as the prosperity of 'its many
towns, l win. enaeavor to give you a
brief sketch of what is going on in that
portion of the Territory known as the
Half Breed Reserve which is too well
known as being one of the most desirable
portions of Nebraska, for me to attempt
to eulogize its merits as a . farming land,
bountifully supplied with both timber and
water. , ,
But the question will arise with those
not acquainted with the facts, what ben
efit can the half breed tract to be to us in
the hands of the half breeds. It is truo
that the land has been allotted to them.
But they are selling out as rapidly as they
come into possession of their lands, and
good old farmers are now settling on It,
by purchasing of the 1 half : breeds, and
building comfortable dwellings, and mak
ing preparations by fencing and' plowinj
for' a crop, the present season. -
There are some four or more towns on
the tract : Rulo, on the South, about four
miles of . the Kansas line, settled princi
pally by French ; Yancton, a flourishing;
little place adjoining Rulo, with an inex
haustible coal bank proven to be of the
best quality. Winnebago city, with Jo
seph Picotr, the old mountain trader as
proprietor. St. Stephen, the central
point. All the crossing for and from the
country lying west of the half breed re
serve is done here. The town is rapidly
improving as its proprietors are donating
lots to all who wish to build and locate in
the place. ' It has two wholesale' and re
tail stores; a church with Rev. Thomas
residing with us for pastor, whose elo
quence combined with the most profound
reasoning powers never fail to draw out
large congregations to hear him. There
is also a school in the place, where the
parent or guardian has a facility, rarely
offered in the West, of schooling or edu
cating his child or ward. A fine hotel
kept by Judge John C. "Millerwho is too
well known in the West, as an accom
plished and ' obliging landlord, to need
any commendation from me. There is
likewise a large livery stable in the place,
with S. Oustin (a model of perfection in
the business) as proprietor, who is always
ready to accommodate persons with all
the articles usually kept in his line on the
most reasonable terms ; a fine steam saw
mill in the place, not like most of towns
that have to raft cotton wood ; there is
plenty of hard lumber at hand. Goods
are being landed at the wharf daily for
the country and merchants west of the
half breed reserve. The levee is beinsr
improved, and a large and commodious
wharehouse is now tinder way, by one of
its enterprising citizens, ..G. Wi Cowley,
for the reception of goods landed at' the
St. Stephen wharf. The settlers on the
strip of land .vhere .Archer, stands, are
likely to be remunerated for the improve
ments they made before the line was run
making it a part of the half breed reserve
I will give you more in detail of the
progress of this section in future.i

Mr. Fuhxab:
I send herewith the proceedings of a
public meeting held by the citizens of this
community on the subject of land sales.
You hive no idea how discouraged our

pray you do all in power through your
paper and otherwise, against land sales
and the people will give you thanks. (

Oraana Correspondence.
Omaha, April 26,' 1858.
KtW FUHCHASE. , J
The recent treitiesVith Ihe Pawnees
and Punca nations of Indians, by the gov
ernment of the United States, has opened
out a large and desirable section of .coun-
try for settlement, in the central and
northern portions of our Territory, which
bids fair to be rapidly occupied by ener
getic and intelligent farmers. Here is
annpportnnity for the "western pioneers"
who are usually on the look for some new
fieli of labor, where they can livewith
ease and contentment, and enjoy the. rich
fruits .gathered in consequence of their
venturous? dispositions They-' open the
waytTnake the first essential- discoveries
of the choice locations for agricultural
and village purposes, ' erect buildings,
make improvements generally to a limited
extent, and afierabiding their time which
i3but a few years in any one location,
they dispose of their possessions to those
who usually follow after the country be
comes settled and improved,, when . they
may expect to have comfort and ease, in
stead of enduring all the hardships and
privations of the practical and professional
frontiersman. In picturesque beauty,
fertility of soil and salubrity of climate,
the new purchase is equal to any portion
cf the West. As an evidence of the rapi
dity with which this region of, country
may be expected to settle up, and the
estimate placed upon it, we have only to
say that the red man of the western wilds
has riot been permitted to extinguish the
fires of his birth place and turn his face
towards his newly selected home, in the
direction of the setting sun,' before the
squatter has taken possession of the soil,
with his family, flocks and herds, to ac
quire rights for a new settlement. Al
ready, town sites are claimed, and impro
vement made upon them sufficient to sus
tain the title and rights under the laws of
settler sovereignty.. So great has, been
the anxiety to secure an eligible spot for
their future homes that many have been
waiting upon the borders for months in
order to be ready when the time come
that : they should have the privilege, of
"squatting" on the new purchase.
The northern purchase extends from
Running Water to White Earth rivers,
on the west side of the Missouri, and the
Punca reserve to be located back on what
is termed the "Prairie Sea." The central
purchase lies immediately west of here, j
and the Pawnees have selected their new
home on Beaver river, about two hundred
miles, probably less, from the mouth of
Platte. " - - - -
-. r; . ,
SETTLEMENT IXTEltlOR.
The population of the , interior portion
of the Territory is being rapidly added
; to, particularly in the vicinity of the Elk
horn and Platte rivers, where the land is
exceedingly fertile and easily cultivated,
j and from which an abundant harvest may
be anticipated this season. ,
Fontenelle, the seat of justice of Dodge
county, on the Llkhorn, and Columbus,
situated favorably in the Platte Valley,
and the county seat of Platte county, are
already of considerable note and import
ance for central towns.
, WESTERN SPECULATION.
Still they come with a disposition to in
vest in western lands and town property,
as a safe investment for a good paying
speculation. The scarcity of money has
brought down the prices to a favorable
standard for the purchaser. " Property is
not only compared with sales of former
years, but extremely moderate figures
when contrasted with the prices of older
sections of country. At present the
chances are favorable to persons of mo
derate means to procure for themselves a
home. r
IMPROVEMENTS.
. Every where throughout the city, the
sounds of progress are heard ar.d the
throng are hurrying to and fro in the va
rious avocations of business, showing signs
of advancement and enterprise with a de
termination not to be frustrated by the
pressure of the times if possibly to be
avoided.
Many good buildings are in course of
erection, which will do credit to the ener
gyand taste of the proprietors, whilst
some of the lesser lights are endeavoring
to keep up their end, by accomplishing
all within their limited means and ability.
NEBRASKA REPUBLICAN.'
The material for a new printing estab
lishment has arrived and is now beinsr
raised into the second story of the Pioneer
Block, from whence we may soon expect
the issue of a new weekly political news
paper, advocating the doctrines of the
Republican party and its speedy organi
zation in this Territory. Schneider &,

Mr. Taylor of Omaha station, appoint
ed for the Fall city charge.
Mr. Collins of Florence has been trans

Elder Goode is. transferred . to the

; PnWIc Meeting Land Sales.
At a meeting of citizens and settlers
of Otoe county, N. T., assembled on the
1st of May, 1858, at School House No.
12, Camp Creek, to devise some means of
averting the impending ruin of them
selves and the actual settlers of the Ter
ritory generally, by the early sale of the
public lands, the following Preamble and
Resolutions were adopted :
Whereas, By proclamation of the Pre
sident of the United States, the public
lands of this Territory! are ordered to be
sold on the 6th day of September next ;
and ;- '
Whertas, Having had confidence in the
repeated declarations of President James
Buchanan that the public lands, in any
district or districts of the United States,
should not be brought into market, until
such time as said lands were occupied by
actual settlers we, actual settlers in this
Territory, have expended all the means
at our dispol in improving our claims,
from which we have received no return as
yet, and will therefore be unable to pay
for our land at so early a day as ordered;
and i
Whereas, All the lands ordered for
sale in this Territory are not occupied by
actual settlers not one-fourth of them
that portion unoccupied will therefore
fall into the hands of the speculator, who
will hold them at a price beyond the pow
er of the poor immigrant to pay, thereby
retarding the settlement of the Territory,
and rendering us the pioneers unable
to support schools, churches, and other
institutions and improvements necessary
in a civilized community; and
Furthermore, Understanding that peti
tions, emanating from the offices of spe
culators in town lots, and brokers in bounty
land warrants; have been ; forwarded to
Wasbington', praying that the land be
broueht into market, and believing that
the President has been deceived thereby,
therefore
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
determination of the powers that be, to
bring a portion of the lands in this Terri
tory into market on the 6th day of Sept
ember next, thereby nullifying the inten
tions, of the framers of the Pre-emption
Act of 1841, and leaving us the actual
settlers, entirely at the mercy of the' spe
culators. V,
Resolved, That we will appeal to the
President, by petition, for the postpone
ment of the land sales until such time as
we may be able to dig from the soil a re
turn for the means we have expended,
and the land surrounding us be taken up
by actual settlers.
Resolved, That we appeal to the actual
settlers throughout the Territory many
of whom must have seen, on their way
across Iowa and other States, the curse
of land speculation to aid us in getting
up petitions, so that the government may
be made aware of the real sentiments of
the people. - , .
Resolved, That this Preamble and Re
solutions be published in some of the
leading papers in the Territory and in
the eastern State?. 1 -" '

Tsalt lake 3IaiI.
On last Saturday, the mail for Salt Lake
under the new contract, left this city
promptly at the designated time. This
argues well for the efficiency of the com
pany now having the matter in. hand.
Within eighteen "days from-thetime of
signing the contract, the line has been
stocked with over three hundred mules,
coaches procured, stations provided t and
the service commenced.
The company will require the services
of from sixty o seventy men, twenty
coaches and twenty baggage wagons.
They will have about twenty stations, and
ultimately about four hundred mules.
The company starts upon contract to do
the service in twenty-two days, but may
be ordered up to eighteen days, at any
time. i
The coaches left here on Saturday
with about eight hundred pounds of mail
matter and several passengers. Among
the passengers were two gentlemen con
nected with the press, one of them , Mr,
Simonson of the N. Y. Times.
As this line connects with another line
of Mail Coaches at Salt Lake, which is
under contract, and in competent hands,
to make the distance from Salt Lake to
Shasta City, California, in twelve days, we
have now a weekly overland connection
with our Pacific brethren, requiring only
thirty-four days, with a prospect that this
will be reduced, within a few months, to
thirty,
VV e understand there is a probability
of a larce passenger business, and that
persons are now in, - waiting for th
coaches of next Saturday. . We bail with
pleasure the opening of this line under
such favorable auspices. St. Joseph Gaz.
We call the attention of our readers in
general and of the afflicted in particular
to the adveytisemetit of Brags' & Bur
rows 'in another column. The Arctic
Liniment, prepared by Dr.' Bragg", is re
commended as the best article of the kind
in the world, and we believe, is destined
to supercede all similar preparations. ( It
has but recently been introduced touhe
public, but has long been successfully used
in private practice, and was thoroughly
tested and approved by the late Dr. Kane
in the Crinnell Arctic Expedition. Dr.
Bragg has for years enjoyed a well-earn
ed and widely extended reputation for his
medical nreDarations. which is of itself a
. t -. f . i . .
sufficient guaranty of the value of the ar
tide now advertised.

Hobies ahd McLri The rateable animal are
subject to almost as many disease and accMeats aa bn
man beings, and thousands are lost every year, either
for the want of their owners knowing how to treat them
or from using inferior articles. This is peculiarly tbe
case In regard to such disease as springhalt, spavin, poll
evil, and all such diseases as arise from sprain, bruises,
harness galls, kc. All these diseases are read 1y cn-
rable by tbe use of some penetrating liniment, which i
absorbed by tbe pores of tbe skin, anp at ence drives off I
the bad humors that feed and keep up the disease. Among I
all tbe Liniments ever invented, none possess tbe pen-
etrative and diffusive principle to such a degree as Dr. j
