Annexation or "Scut!i Platte," Kc- Per two years 'pen ia fact nearly ever since the organization of Nebraska and Kansas, there has been considerable fray; id in Congress and cut of it as to the practical operations and beneficial results nott likely to arise by, annTxing4iSouth' Plaits" Kebras'v-n to Kansas. As a jour nalist end private citizen, together with, tre. are tatisfied, a great majority of the citizens of Nebraska residing South of the riatte river, we have opposed such a proposition for the tin le-ressonthat"we vculd thus become mixed up in the "Kan sas difficulties." These difficulties being now removed, cr settled, wearo forced to admit that there are many and weigh ty reasons in favor of the movement. - Ye will hastily jrive a few arguments V. - .1. 1 .

In ihfi first ntare. ibp PlattP rirpr is n . natural boundary line ; has been, is, and . , . , I always will be, an almost insuperable bar rier dividing the two sections af Nebras ka, known as "North Platte,' and,"South riatte."

"We have not the population to gain admit tance. We have not the financial ability to sustain ourselves as an independent . State Government. In the second place, the line as it now exists between Kansas and Nebraska is really only imaginary on paper in pas - sing from one to the other it cannot be found; Not even a stone or stake de notes the separating line, except perhaps some private mark of the surveyor known .. only to himself. Thu natural interests 'cf the two sections spoken of are one ' end the same ; nature has so arranged, and it cannot be otherwise. By annexation, we assist to swell a pop. illation sufficiently large to gain immedi . ate admission into the Union, and thus lake our place in the rank as a sever ereign state, with a voice, votes, and in fiuence in cur National Council. "We beccme identified with a portion of the " country possessing a world wide notorie ty.. And however much we may deplore the manner of obtaining, and the cost of that notoriety, yet must admit Kansas has an advertisement unprecentcd; at tention has been drawn to her from, we rnight say, almost every portion of the known world. We become attached to, and gain a population and wealth ; a sec- tion of country susceptible of agricultu ral advancement and internal . improve . xaenUr proportionate with our own. We ' become joint participants in the extensive land donations which usually follow the " admission of new States, and will there- . .by be enabled to adopt and carry out a ' System of internal improvements, and " consequent development, which will in a suprisicgly short time, make a state of unsurpassing wealth, prosperity and great ness. We beccme possessed of the pow ' er to regulate and govern our own affairs; ve pass from minority into majority, be come men of full stature; breathe free, act free, feel free, and are free. ' We have briefly given a few of curin diyilual ideas in relation to this matter, ia this issue of our paper. We shall re- f er to it again, perhaps frequently ; and ;in tho meantime would be pleased to hear from others who may feel disposed to pre sent their ideas through the columns of .ihe "Advertiser," either for or against. We have conversed with a number of prominent citizens cf Nemaha, Johnson, and Clay counties within a few days past, - and find a very general opinion in favor cf annexation. We trust, however, that no action will be asked of, or taken by Congress, until an expression by petition or otherwise, of the citizens interested, can be had. "In Poor Business." . .

Acrain, it never "became evident that no printer could be elected." There is al ways in all Legislatures more or less! strife in regard to the election of public printer; and to claim exemption for the Nebraska Legislature would be nonsense. under these circumstances, and owinar to the fact that the Governor had, convened an extra session of the Legislature in or- der to enact much needed laws, a major- ty of the members and we among that number were not disposed to wran gle at the commencement over any subject not intimately connected with the inter ests of a constituency at large; therefore were willing to merely concede, or pass undisputed for the time, and until all im portant matters were disposed of, Mor ton's claim to control the printing. A democrat, as we have before said, could at any time have been elected on oint ballot. In regard to the Bank Charter in the Council, we call on the Nebraskian for proof that the Bank Bill could have receiv ed over one vote. ' Was not that Bill on its first reading indefinitely postponed, with but one dissenting vote that o' Mr. Scott, its introducer? Was it not again brought up by motion of Mr. Doan? Af ter it was again before the Council, did not Mr Morton write a letter, to which Dr Miller, of Omaha, subscribed, stating that whatever he (Dr. Miller) might seeming ly do in the matter was really for the purpose of ferreting out corruption? Wa not this letter sealed and placed in the hands of Governor Richardson for safe keeping, and to be called for if need ed as evidence to exculpate Dr. Miller ? (Justice to Governor Richardson requires it to be said, that he knew nothing of the contents of this letter, or what was on foot.) Did the evidence before the com mittee show that any other member of the Council save Dr. Miller of Omaha, and Mr. Dundy of Richardson, had been improperly approached ? Wras there any thing connected with the consideration of that Bank Bill which indicated that in the form in which it . was introduced it could have had even one rote? Come down to your work Mr. Nebraskian ; the people cf Nebraska are tired of such continued assertions made without any foundation. No journal, or individual that we know of, except the Jfehrasleian and Neves have been disposed to parade this "bribery and corruption" matter before the public, and we should have thought a proper regard for the roisf crtunes of some of their friends would have hidnced them to practice "dis cretion as the better part of valor." We would not notice it were there not an at tempt made by those journals to evade censure, and cast it where it does net properly belong. In the election of Printer Mri Nebras kian, did not all the members of. both branches who were not absent from the city by consent of their respective bodies, repair to the House of Representatives in joint convention?

Another star is rapidly rising in the West, to take its 1 - 1 place in the bright galaxy of States, and to add its ray 10 the bright effulgence which the new civilization is shedding on the world. As a terrritory we already have our historic names which must go down to our children, inseparably connec ted with the birth-throes of an empire which must be their heritage and should fce their pride. Over some of these names death ha thrown its sombre shadows, but their memory is enshrined in our hearts, and influence of their early deeds is a work in our midst, and will be till the la test period of recorded time. Our Burt and our Cumingthe Moses and the Joshua of the pioneer hosts which are peopling the plains, the valleys and the groves of Nebraska have passed away The one after having been permitted to I . see the promised land, the other, after having led on the column from conquest to conquest, The one sleeps in his na- tive . State., in jhefarsunny south, at ' the home of his kindred, where tears water the flowers which bloom above his grave The other reposes in sight of the Capi- tol, where, but a few months ago, in ful health but with impassioned eloquence he "delivered his last message," and of the city which- hi3 energy reared, and which his tameless spirit guided until death closed the scene. No stone marks his resting place to tell the passer-by where the first man of Nebraska sleeps his last sleep ! Ungrateful Omaha ! When I think how he gave coloring to thy fortunes, causing earnest and determined rivals to be left in the far back ground ; and then when I think how . lowly is his grave, I cannot but reflect upon the mon- strous sin ef thy ingratitude ! . 1 know' it would have been different if seme other of equal renown had passed away. A monument would have towered above the spot where his remains lay entombed, and its inscriptions would have told the world how a whole people had mourned at his loss. But, ah! the morning sun which shone upon all that was mortal of Cum ing, failed to chase away the shadows from the city which his death left so des olate. But although Omaha, which owes to him so much of her prosperity and all of her fame, fails to mark his grave with a monument;, still the impress of his ge nius is upon every page of our progress; and when garulousage comes upon the old settlers, we will not cease to speak of the intellect and virtues of Cuming, and to mourn that so much of promise was blight ed by his early doom. - .

The noble men of that State have done honor to themselves. We congratulate them with the roar of cannon, music, speech es, huzzas, bonfires, and every manner of rejoicing. Give us three times three for Douglas, the representative man of the Northwest,and count oh us for an endorse ment." Chicago, Nov. 18. The celebration last night in honor of the election of-Douglas was a grand af- air. 'A large number of visitors from different parts of the State were present. The torchlight procession was a mile and a half in length, and a number of build ings along the line of the procession were brilliantly illuminated. The Tremont House, also, was handsomely decorated. Senator Douglas made a short speech, con gratulating the Democracy on their vie tory. The number of persons in attend ance was estimated at 10,000. New Haven, Con., Nov. 12.
