Governor Richardson arrived in Ncv
braska on the 10th day of January last,
in the midst of one of the most violent
contests this Territory ever witnessed. ,
He came here under an appointment &l 0
the General Government, most fit to bo-
made. He stood up in the Congress of.. ;
the United States, one of the foremost',.. '
champions of that principle which a's-' "
serts and vindicates the ability of lhe "
American citizen, whether a resident -of
the older or the newer settlements of the . .
country, to govern himself. The cham
pion, the eloquent, powerful, successful?
champion of the natural rights of the.,
people of Nebraska, most fit was it he
should be set over them as their Cover-'
nor. - ; . . : '
He came welcomed with the warmest
entusiasm of the people of the Territory.'
They felt, as they had abundant reason
to feel, most thankful that a man of his
reputation, which was national, pf his .
abilities, which in the then present exi-
gency of the public affairs were needed
for the public good, of his connection, so :"
intimate and sp honorable, with their
first history, should be sent among them.: ,
Open arms, warm hearts 'welcome him
to this Territory.
He has served us for nearly a year.-
All his wisdom, all his best efforts hive
been ours. No personal feeling ambition"
or pride has ever swayed him. Patriotism;
a generous regard for the highest public . .
good, have characterized his administra- '
lion. The Territory of Nebraska stands
to day on a moral and legal position far:
higher, more honorable than ever before.
We have now a complete, wise and ad-
justed system of laws. Indiridual and '
public rights can, and henceforth will te
vindicated, a wrong punished. ' For all ;
this how largely are we indebted to Gov
ernor Richardson, to his wholesome and
timely advice.
He goes from our rnidst carryiug jthe
sincere regrets of every class of our cil-
izens, that the pleasant and useful pub-
lie and private relations which he has iuO
so short a time so firmly established, are .
to be severed. Amid all the shifting .
scenes of life, he will carry with him the ' '
gratitude of the whole people for the
great good he ha3 done cs, and our pos- .
terity, and our own hearty wishes for his
prosperity and welfare will attend him in '
all time to come.
All of which is respectly submitted." .
WILLIAM. E. MOORE.- "
A southern gentleman owned a slAve,
a very intelligent fellow, who was a Uni-
versalist. On one occasion he illustrat- .
ed the intellectual character of his relig
ion in the following manner: A cer
tain slave had obtained a license cf the
Baptists to preach. He was holding forth
in the presence of many of his colored .
brethren at one time when he undertook
fo describe the process of creating Ad-
am, "He" stoop down, scrape' up a little
dirt, wet it a little, squeezes it de right
shape, and lean it 'gainst da fence to dry.'
"Top dere !" said our Univesalist, you
say dat are de fust man eber cade ?" '
"Sarten!" said the preacher. :
Den," said the other, "jsst tell a f el- .
ler whar dat ar fence cum from !"
'Hush !" said the preacher, "two more
questions like dat would f?poil a!l de feol-
ogy in de world ! '
