Few have en idea cf "the money and labor requisite to carry on a newspaper at all respectably, especially ia thi3 western country. It costs us, inde pendent of paper, ink, and interest oa mo ney invested in our establishment," 'over iai dollars per day to publish the Adver tiser. It requires our daily labor to sup port cur family; we spend the .midnight hours and Sabbaths in searching ex thanges, or raking our train for ' matter "with which to fill the paper weekly; while ethers rest from their .daily labors, and enjoy the privileges of the sanctuary. It requires' just such labor weekly to pro duce bur paper! ''. ' Now we ask, is it not requiring too much of one individual to sustain the en tire burthern cf aa renterprise which has done, "and is yet doing, more to advance tne interests cl tne town ana community than any other ; especially when that in dividual is as little interested pecuniarily, almost,: as any one. else therein. : We tnture me assertion tnat mere is not a paying printing establishment ia ,Ne traska. i We are confident that the Ad . vertiser enjoys a better patronage than any other ia the Territory, and yet it is far frora making anything-. Men who labcr as we do ia this country expect to make something. There are hundreds of ether tranches of .business to which we could devote one half the labcr we. do to this, and make a fortune. We can stop the publication cf our paper and make money with our job office; for. we have the best above St. Louis, and a good run cf custom. :Eut.as matters now are, it requires the profits therefrom to make up the deficiency in the newspaper depart memv- : r. , .:' The Second Volume of the Advertiser expires on the 21th of this month. " Its continuance "will depend entirely upon assurances we receive between now and men. ve leei confident our property holders and business men have never for a moment reflected upon this matter, and all that is necessary to ensure ; the exer cise of their usual liberality and public spirit; relative to all enterprises in which the public interests are involved, is to make the plain statements we have, to gether with a direct appeal to them. - While opon this subject, we cannot re fraia from giving place to the following excellent and pointed extract frora an ar ti a e in the. Boston Chronicle, under the head "Hard Times and Newspapers" "If the people knew the difficulty news' paper publishers have to contend with, just now, they would never want to be dunned half-a-dozen times for such small amounts as two or three or four dollars. Labor, paper and ink have to be paid in V . . J.

And that such will be tne case we can easily toresee. lne storm la the commercial world will destroy the weakest, ana many or me oest or our newspapers. Men cannot perform mira cles, and printers nave at yet failed to discover an easier way of satisfying the demands of paper dealers and the cravings of industrious workmen with anything tut the pelf. And how they are' to get this, when people will not pay the Pr:n ter, is a mystery, particularly as the tanks don't accommodate country news paper proprietors. Few people have any idea, of the labors of the editor his trials and difficulties at all times, but particu larly in countryoffices, to be the general ficc-ijzacf Lis "establishment." "I Nat only has he to write for the bene fit -of the public, under all circumstances --ia sickness cf:Lody and. distress of mindto be at one meeting in the day time t-Li - another -at night to leave friends and family at the LiJ of. every passing circumstance in lh.3 public world cf Lis o.vn locality; not only has he to do this, nd sacrifice comfort, health, and do- rnestia pleasures, but he ia compelled to work at the "case" ia every spare mo ment 13 keep his own books to do his own collecting; ia short, from morning to night, frora week to week, and from rear to rear,' to labor like a' slave to pro- ! vide his faruly with tread.

Tfce Somthow there News. has been the past -k chnoiit aa entira failure of ,u?vb by our mails. Consequently, we are un able to present much of a variety in our present issae. ;., . . .. ; .1 ; The principal iopicin newspaperdom, c rat head quarters, at present is, relative to our 'Foreign Relations" with Great Britain.' FreseEt indications squint strong ly toward a "brush ahead" with John Hull.. We are pleased ' to see the Admi nistration taking prompt and active steps tD maintain our national honor and rights. In this it should be cordially supported by all; without regard "to political opinions, which divide us incur borne affairs. ' Official statements fully establish the fact; that' acts of aggression by British cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico have been so frequent, and so: extraordinary as to awaken indignation; and call for atten tion on the'part of our Government. Orders have been given in Washington for the preparatiou of additions to the Home Squadron, for the purpose of cruis inir in th; neirrhborhood of Cuba and - i - elsewhere to protect at all times the pro perty and rights of American citizens. The Committee on Foreign, Relations in the United States Senate,' on the 28th ult., reported : ' "No less than fifteen American ships in the harbor of Sagua la Grande; and six on the high ; seas, are officially reported as having Lad jo submit to aggressions from British cruisers. Each additional arrival brings fresh accounts of aggres siens by the same power on our flag. It ha3 hitherto happened in isolated cases, where similar aggressions have occurred through misconstruction, that the United States have been content to accept a dis claimer cf the attempt, but the continued and preserving character of these outrages is such as to arouse the indignation of the country, and to require to be arrested at once, and to end at once and forever, the countenance of such indignity. The slave trade 13 the alleged excuse. The Commit tee will not discuss that. It is sufficient that the United States, though often in voked to do so, refuses to recognize the right of police. They rest on the prin ciple that the marine' under their flag cannot be questioned without their con sent, and th) committee deemed this a fit occasion to cleclare it as a principle of the. United States, admitting of no reserve or qualification,' and to be maintained at any cost.' ' . The Committee "refrain from recom mending further legislation, only for the reason that the President has ordered all our available navy to the infested waters with orders to protect our llag. It is be lieved that this measure will be serviceable for the present io stopping the outrages. The .subject has also been brought to the notice or the offending power, both through the Minister at London and the Minister at Washington. ' We cannot, therefore, until we receive a reply from Great Bri tain, deeide on measures that will be a guarantee of the future, for nothing short of that will satisfy the American people. Therefore, while refraining from recom mending present legislation, the Commit tee unanimously i . , JJesomJThat American ships at sea, under the American flag, .remain under the jurisdiction of the. country to which they belong, and therefore, that any visi tation or molestation is an infraction of the sovereignty of the United States. , J?orci,That these aggressions demand such unequivocal explanation from Great Britain as shall prevent their recurrence forever. ' ' " Resolved, That the Committee approve of the action' of the Executive, and are prepared to recommend such further leg islation as circumstances may require." ' The New York Courier'a Washington correspondence, of May 2Sth, says the Government expects important intelli gence from England by the next steamer. It is understood that Lord Napier has gi ven his opinion that his Government will contend for the right of visitation aa a distinct right of search. Should dispatches from Mr. Dallas confirm that expectation the relations of the two countries will suddenly approach a. casus belli. The Administration promises to meet the con tingency -with , vigor. The instructions thrown out are, that orders will be given to bring in for adjudication all British armed vessels committing acts cf outrage upoa our commerce.. ; Under present circumstances we are called to considsr the miserable state of our' navy, and cn this point quote from the Washington blahs : ; . - "Our little navy is called upon suddenly to play a mart important part in the de fence of the country. In times of jxjace and scietyl the public mind is apt to fall into lethargy m the subject of our defen ces; but, when the a'arra runs throughout ' the land, and the country is called upon to punish aggression cr defend itself, then we naturally turn tc our gallant little na vy.. Whit is its condition ? How isit prepared to maintain the h:;:or, of the courtry? Unfortunately, we ca-tnof re ply very theerii to these questions. Jealousy or incompetency -las stricken frora tie ranks a large namber of takers; and tad economy has permitted our ma rine to become, perhaps, far beiciv that pf any great Power of tjie globe, in "either numbers, weight cf metal, cr efficiency. We have built six large steam-frigates ; had, perhaps, four efficient steamers pre viously; and after that,"',ve' have nothing tnat begins to compare wita tnose wno may be our foes. - r -r i:-.rr,r The steam marine cf England js ten times as great as our whole naval force,.' Does" not the present state of things sug gest that we.should make' the nary .strong er? On the eve of hostilities, with the country clamorous for "redress of outrages without an example almost, because no warning was given, and no excuse exists, two miserable little sailing vessels are all our Government can send to the Gulf to recruit a home squadron," Which, at .best, is but a meagre affair to show" before the Gulf ports while we artf astonishing the natives of the East with everything new or improving that adorns the . navy, and our crack shin is taking on board a tele graph cable in one cf the harbors of Eng land. ' " " . There is hardly a 'sin.JIe ooiection to even a very powerful navy, except its ex pense; and there are extravagancies and follies enough, if urtailed," to support "a very large establishment without the bur den of a single cent. The Government gives away, writh a liberal hand,- millions in land; it has been making stupendous improvements in Washington and all over the country, and it maintains an army of officers which might materially be reduc ed. ' All sorts of extravagancies have been so grafted on the ' system that it would be well to cut them out.1 .In this task the Administration would heartily unite. ' We do earnestly, hope that Con gress will not adjourn until a step in' this direction be taken. The country is an xious to see its defences put right.". It will fully sustain the strcngest measures, and hail the man as a public - benefactor who leads off m the good work." "Sleeping the Happy Hoars Away." - Reynolds, of the Nebraska City News, has gone East ; 'tis said . to fool some weak minded woman. Under the head "Editorial Correspondence, Steamer Han nibal, May 24,"we find the following: - "Brownville is as yet of but little, im portance, except that she lias a Land Of fice and an excellent paper, mechanically, &t. btennen we passed wnue I was sleeping, so I cannot speak of the pros pects of the town asl should in all proba bility if I had been awake." : " ' :. Those acquainted with the facts cannot fail to conclude that Mr. Reynolds was in a very sleepy condition when he was tak ing items. In fact his own history shows him past taking notes, shortly after pass ing this point." ' 'Tis , no Wonder, he felt drowsy after making such an effort. Now, Milton, we are glad you were content to be easy with us ; that you was not as funny as you could be." Please don't strike us again, or we shall surely give up all hopes of ever making a town at this point. t - The Plaitsmonth CohTcntlon. From Mr. Hackney, who has returned from the Plattsmouth Convention, we learn that there was a full attendance of delegates nearly 'every-county in the Territory, being" represented.' ' Resolu tions were adopted in favor of organizing the party, re-affirminr the Cincinnati Platform and approving the general pol icy ot Mr. liucnanan s Administration and ahso in fator of submitting the Con stitutions of all states hereafter to be fram ed toa vote of the people for ratification A Territorial Central Committee ' was appointed. - ' We are unable to place Anything fur ther before our readers this week, no having received a copy of the proceedings From The Plains A correspondent of the St. Joseph Ga zette, writing from Ft. Laramie, gives the following items of news, which, though the date is not very recent, will be found of interest to our readers : ; "Col. Hoffman left here on the 25th of April, attached to his forces which he brought from Ft. Leavenworth, three companies of infantry, 'which were sta ticned here, for Camp, Scott, or rather Col. Johnson s command; all looking well and hearty, also one hundred and thirteen wagons belongiug to Messrs. Russell & Waddell, loaded with supplies for the troops at Camp Scott. 1 . 1 "Go.v Cumming has gone into . Salt Lake, and a compromise between the United Slates and the Great Brigham i oung. is anticipated.' Probsibly . he wil have to sacrifice a few spirituals, of which he has a great number. 7 ; "At this moment, (the 1st May,) there are three feet of snow in my door, the heaviest snow storm we have had this winter, and as the Platte River was up before the snow, we can, we think, look for high water." The effects of the snow alluded to in the above, have probably been manifest ed in the rise which has for some days been noticed in the river. The writer anticipates a heavy rise. The June fresh et, which is but just. now commencing may be a heavy one, and m conjuction with the other great tributaries of the Mississippi the Missouri may add its por lion to the Hood at the South. : ' Jin Lane In Tronic- We4 learn from Mr. Symms cf the Hes perian, that a difficulty occurred at Law rence between Jim Lane and an aboil tionist in relation to a claim. it appears that both were armed, and after some words Lane pulled out a pistol and in flicted a mortal wound ; his antagonist re turned the shot, but with little effect. Lane is now in prison, awaiting his trial at the next term of the District court to be held in Lawrence. Si. Jo. Gaz.

The 27th was the dry named by the Republicans for holding their Territorial Convention, which was to assemble at Omaha, for - the purpose of completing their - organization. - It is presumed by close observers of the movement of that party during that day, that the Delegate- Convention proved to be a failure, at least a public one at which all parties had the privilege of attending. But one regular delegation has been in from'other ' counties, , so far "as outsiders have been able to learn, .although more might have been present. ,The Conven tion, or caucus more properly, was held in secret; refusing to admit "democrats to witness the proceedings, and therefore a limited opportunity was offered .to; ascer tain the exact number of delegates form ing the Convention. ' ' Large posters were placed in public places all over the city, notifying dele gates to meet at Visher's Hall, and in accordance writh said ' notices, several democrats endeavored to g"ain admission, but were confronted with the news that the meeting of delegates would be. held at a small office in the east part of townj to which some democrats repared for the purpose of witnessing' the proceedings, supposing that the meeting, like all such, would be public, but in attempting to en ter were informed that it was entirely private and giving them a broad hint that their occupancy was anything but accept able. ' ' . The conclusion is that it resulted in a secret caucus among the few of that party residing hereabouts, and that no kind of public, demonstration was made on that Occasion. . . . - The few known and knowing ones of that party about town, were quite active in reference to the matter, and the sup position was that a general turnout was anticipated. An individual opinion is that the the cause of Republicanism is imbecile and powerless ia this Territory, and can not accomplish many decided victories or build up much strength in party organiza tion, except they can be permitted to steal the Popular Sovereignty plank "of the Democratic Platform, which they appear determined to accomplish if possible, for the reason that they find the great major ity of their party strenuously advocating the doctrine of people's rights, as held by the Democratic party, and promulgated at every important election where princi ples; are brought in question. , It was hoped that their numbers would be sufficient, and their strength of ample power, to be a thorn in the sides of -the Democracy; that union and harmony might prevail in the ranks of both parlies caused by the honorable opposition given by each in behalf of their own organiza tion. It is however now to be feared that the Democracy will har-r so lht!e to ccm bat. even should they le successful in the organization, that divisions may cris-? nr-r ' themselves, v,' i eh vouhl rr 3 , nrhvcuslo :.: part i ... c .

ITS APPEARANCE. To a stranger accustomed to travelling in the long settled portions cf the United States, this town would present the ap pearance of . a village of severa 1 years' existence, whereas it is not yet more than about eighteen months growth. Here are several large and respectable mercantile establishments, some of which purchase their goods in the eastern cities, and one or two of which are prepared to do a jobbing business. Several hotels, blacksmiths and mechanics, printing of fice, meat-market, regular provision gro cery stores as in the cities, and every thing progressing prosperously. The generosity of the proprietors is still ex tended to those who deem proper to build and become residents, and probably more .v ' 1 x - t, l u uuu tiaa uccu usual ill new towns. Warrant ie deeds are given to donated lots whenever the buildin is fully en- closed. t , ' ..!.-...,-. : : i The liberal course pursued by the own ers has. undoubtedly firmly placed this town upon its feet and enabled it to stand even these hard and pressing times. The houses are generally nicely painted and finished, and withal quite convenient for this new country, where so many difficul ties are to be encountered in procuring suitable homes. , . . . ;.-.,' . . XIUSDALE. This is the residence of the celebrated J. E. Johnson, editor of the Crescent City Oraclej and formerly of the Bugle noto riety, H like the editor of the Nebraska Advertiser, has a great taste and dispo sition to bp among shrubery, of which he has a grjeat variety, which he brought with him jon his return from his eastern tour. Ilj: cannot be called lazy, because he is never seen idle but if apparently so, he is accumulating idea3 and informa tion which he is seeking for other pur poses than idle conversation. He is practically a jack of all trades, turning his hands to everything that comes in his way which he finds important should be done. Being free aiid easy in conversation, you at once . become inter ested with his address and manner of con veying his thoughts to render them easily understood; being practical in thought and action he cannot otherwise be in lan guage, which is simple and free from that verbosity which is often found in great talkers nnd writers. ' ', ' This farm is situated in a rich and fer tile valley, leading in the bottom lands of the Missouri river, and is so. located that no view can be had of it until w ithin or close to its limits, and consequently it bursts upon the view without the least no tice, when the mind and vision is suddenly attracted from the wild and varied moun tainous scenery around to the labors of the husbandman, as found in cultivated fields, decorated gardens, the convenience of the dwellings, improvements of roads, &c, which at once reminds- the traveller of the old honored homestpad, where his youthful days were spent in pleasant en joyments, free from the cares and strifes of maturer years. CHOPS. The wheat and oats look well and pro raise an abundant harvest if some des tructive insect does not make its appear ance in the field. Corn is not doing so well, in consequence of the continual rains which have fallen during the spring and rotted the seed, to the great discom fiture of '. the anxious cultivator.

Territorial Republican Comentlon. ...We have received .the proceedings of the Territorial Convention which con vened at Omaha on the 27th ult. We have not room for the entire proceedings but copy below' their Platform,' and refer the reader to our Omaha Correspondent, "Wawko," for details. 1. Thatin viewof the alarming position if the pre sent nation.il Admmis'nliun, which claim for tbe Exe cute e of the I'niictl Staie tbe authority to force Terri tories into tbe L'uioa as States with institutions repug nant to the people thereof; and also in ctmsi leratiou, of the fact tfcat the friemls cf that Administration are forming a party organization In this Territory to uiport this odious assumption of power; it is our duty, as llep pulican citizens of Nebri.-ka, to organize far the pur pose of meeting the-lssue thus forced up-m do, and to vindicate the nsht of a people of a Territory, when ap plying fr adraiAMun as a State, "to regulate their own institutions in their own way. 2. Th.it we re-affirm tbe platform of principles adapt ed by the National Republican Convention at Philadel phia, Ui June, 1864, so far as the sn:e are applicable to the present exigencies of tbe cuuntry, and that we ar ray ourselves under xUe banner of the party then organ ized, -r i ' r . ' 3 Tbat,wit"a Republicans cvery-wnere, we endorse the great doctrines of the Declaration of lnde'endcnce, and the Constitution or the Cnited States, and declare it to be our unalterable determination to support those bulwarks of our. prosperity, and wherever they have beea departed from, to restore them to their original pcrityas maintained by tbe founders of occ Republic. - 4 That the Territories are tbe common property of the people, subject solely U ?he laws of Congress under the Constitution of the United States-, and therefore no institution which Congress mjy not constitutionally establish; can have rightful existence wit jin their bor- - L5 - That ,he tempt of ny state to en.-ibuh its I 5oca' an1 peculiar inututions in any Territory, i in uers infringement, not only upon the rights of the people therein, but upon tbe rights of all the States; and the local laws of Virginia and Kentucky, which reduce a porluw o-f thmi ,.pitoo i.iri y, wmat t w mw rn- operative in any Territory as the kcUool and tax lawrof Kow York and Ohio. - - 6. That the action of the Administration in regard to the Lecompton Constitution is in direct violation of the K.aiua-Nebrabk act, and of the Constitution of the United States. It violates the Kansas-Nebraska act ancTits boasted principles of popular sovereignty, by its attempt r force laws- upon a free people in airect oppo sition to their will. It violates the Constitution of the United States hy uing splendid bribes of proflt and co vert threats by loss to accomplish tbe same purpose. 7. That f ree labor and free speech inherited by our ancestors and guarantied to ua by the Constitution, are our inalienable rights, and thai we will vigorously op pose the introduction of any institution in eur Territory that dezrades free labor or forbids free speech. 8. That the attempt of the present Administration to affirm slavery as already existing in Kansas, is a base attempt to violate the rights and privileges solemnly pledged in the act organizing that Territory, and using ,tbe extrajudicial opinion of ' Judge Taney in delivering the iipitiiun of tbe Supreme Court in the Drcd Scott case i a gross attempt to corrupt the Constitution of the United States and degrade the dignity and tho virtue of the Supreme Court. 9.
