Me isms of the day, met the fate they
richly deserved, and once more, Democ-
racy was procla.med the victor. Her
wasjust; her principles" sound, and Lt
the laurels encircled her chieftain's
.
M"e ask, is it not" a matter of the great
est surprise, that such a wide schism
should ever have taken place in a party
so well united; a party always devotedly
and unsurpassably wedded to principle
A characteristic admitted even by oppo
nents and vihfyers. Choosing to "rise or
fall" with principle, before "men or mea
f urcs." : Should it, when it has advanced
io me acme ot renown and prosperity,
attempt to annihilate its own herculean
strength, l v sowing seeds of discord and
heart-burnings in its own ranks,and there
by rendering itself a fit subject for the
. enemy's batteries of venomous oppro
brium? It .is not our purpose -to review the
cause and sequence of the Kansas trou
bles, and those heart-piercing struggles
between the North and the South. They
are familiar to American citizens; fresh,
at least, in the memory of the people of
Kansas. However much we may desire
the veil of forgetf ulness to fall over them,
all coming time will be abortive in strik
ing them from the recoH'ection of those
who witnessed their enactment, and felt
the hand of oppression, crushing and sev
ering their rights as American citizens.
That difference existing among the lead
ing mea of this nation, for the time be
ing, cast a shadow, deep and dark, over
almost erery "nook and corner" of the
world. Thank God that storm has pass
ed, and the waves of popular excitement
no longer roll furiously over' our land,
threatening its submersion through, and
by, the heart's blood of our countrymen.
May those waves ever calmly repose, and
their fury ever be arrested is the prayer
of every patriot.
Passing over that first and bloody strug
. gle, for the principle of "Popular Sover
. eignty," in the Territories of the United
Sles, it seems to us a period cf serious
.-faeditation and thought as the future ac
tfon of the Democratic party. United,
as in days gone by, upon a basis of con
f crrative, and national principles, there
is no. question as to success in the next
'Presidential race. Yet; should no con-
lu'u-" u lucucu tvnuui IjL'COIUn
ton" and "Anti-Leccmpton," that wing
and this wing of democrots arrayed against
aca coner ueteat, beyond doubt, must be
the result, and the National Democratic
1-anncr will float no longer to the breeze,
tut be found trailing ihe dust.
.Such being the probable result, and in
. view of the dire calamity to the country
.'and to- the worU, cannot a re-union of the
hour? Cannot the old and well-tried
Democratic Ship be crowded with free
. -men, whose hearts beat in unison for the
preservation of the liberties and inalien
. able rights of the people? '
, In 1S5G, DiLocrats, frcm the four
-.quariersoi me cnion, eacn enterlainim
. . peculiar views, met in convention at Cin
cinnati, and there pledged their honor,
unanjrjiojsly and solemnly, to the princi
'plea that the people of Territories had
the capacity to govern themselves, and
that right should be 'granted. That plank
in the nlatform received the heartv' an-
l - . j i
proval of the Ccrventicn assembled, and
Loui and 'long was it applauded by all
Democrats. The .nominee. qL that body
, for the Presidency endorsed it immedi
.etely, Eterj knawn Champion of the
people's rights responded to it, East and
Vest, North and South, receiving the el
cvmerJ encomiums cf a conservative and
union-loving nation. .AH Democrats
rtfrc- satbned', and willing to go forth to
the contest with it. Those of our people
who raised ihe voice of condemnation,
and of opposition, were designated ene-
J mies to the peace of ih'3 country, and the
j finger of contemptuous derision pointed at

high or low to have the impudence to de

with truth assert, that Democrats did not
anction every, sentiment incorporated in
that Platform?- Can any one ! doubt but
that platform was the talisman to victory?
Had it not been "for the 'grand;' the noble
spirit of liberty and -equality whispered in
every word of that document would the
Democracy have succeeded in vanquish
inar the enem v ? It is of no use for men
who are at all tenacious of the truth to
even intimate that Buchanan would have
,
been successful without the national non-
bt j principle found in; the Cin
cinnati platform? He accepted it as the
true exponent of Democracy, and pledged
himself to'a faithful and unflinching exe
cution of those principles, whenever they
came up before him 'No satisfaction

Nebraska Act," was a pnuciple granting
to tne people or Kansas and isebrasta
the right to control ' and establish such lo
cal governments' as to them might seem
just; independent of Federal authority,
or any other pawer. No one who has
"eyes to see, or ears to hear," can possi
bly mistake or misconstrue language so
plain and simple as that contained in . that
Act. ; And it is unaccountable, that a col
lision of opinion should . have occurred in
regard to it, between the President and
other prominent Democrats. " But not at
tempting, at present, to enter into a dis
cussion of the cause of the unfortunate
clashing of views on that subject, we,
nevertheless, know it did transpire and
that it has caused a tottering, and a fear
ful trembling of the Democratic founda
tion. Far and near, in the snow-clad
hills of the North, to the cloudless sa
vannas of the South, extending over the
broad plains of the West, the same dif
ference of opinion has, and does pervade
Democratic ranks. The Administration,
upheld by some, and laterally censured
by others; both parties having contribu
ted to the elevation of James Buchanan
to the Presidential Chair. And, it might
be said a more malignant and deadly hos
tility exists among Democrats than can
be found in the bosom of all political or
ganizations" combined. This is a deplo
rable and humiliating fact, and our en
emies will unquestionably, avail them
selves of so palpable and undeniable in
compatibility of feelings and views. Suc
cess need not be hoped for, or expected,
unless those discordant and antagonistic
elements become calmed, and a union of
all wings accomplished.
Now, the question is, will this object be
consummated, and lhe fragments gath
ered together from all sections under the
flag which floated proudly and triumph
antly over the Union in Will our
ears be saluted agam by the stirring in
tonations of "self 'government," "the
right of the citizens of all Territories to
re guide 1 heir own affairs in their own
cay, subject only to the Constitution of
ihe United States?" Will we hear in
trumpet tonrs, "Non-intervention in all
matters of a local or domestic nature by
Congress." Let each citizen determine
for himself,, like a freeman, and a dis
criminating, rational being what kind of
a government he desires to live under,
and with which to link his hopes, happi
ness and destiny I .
Surplus Corn In Xcmaha '.County.
We have, since the maturing of the!
corn crop, known that there was a very
large surplus of corn in this county ; but
find it to be much greater than anticipat
ed. In three months past, there has not
a day passed that f:oin thirty to sixty
watron loads of corn have not been deliv
ered to our produce men in this ciuy. One
day last week we counted ffty-two wag
ons loaded with corn, waiting their turn
to unload at Cease &: Hill's and I. T.
Wjsyte's. ,
' There is a surplus of Corn in this coun
ty of not less than Jive hundred thousand
bushels.: This will give something f an
idea of the farming operations in ISeina

A meeting of the citizens of Cass
County was held at Plattsmouth on the
23d. From the. committee annointed to
reDort upon the propriety of annexation,
.
there were two reports; majority ami
minoritv. We have not seen the maior-

ity report, but have before us that' of the
. . . .
minontv. made by A. H. Towsshesd,
Esn... of Plattsmouth. It is the most able
document we have read upon that subject,
He does not once touch upon personal,
local, or political matters and connectthem
with this subiect ; but treats entirely up-
on general principles : and in. so clear
and impressive a manner we wonder that
any should"' fail to be' convinced of the
. 1 ' e .
nrnnriPlv and lmnortance of annexation.

pace. We may, however, do so at some

that account a serious opposition: but
are rejoiced to know that such men as A.
H. Towse'd, and E. A. Donelai, and
othersof like intelligence and influence
favor the project
" The' following paragraph we extract
from a private letter received from a gen
tleman in Cass County:
'Tublic sentiment at prenent in this County, is
rather apinst annexation ; say three to two; but
cd, nor earnest investigation. ' Appearances though

understood by the people, that promises at an eany

.The Printing Office.
A printing ofiice is not the place to tell
long stories, or enter into discussions.
A printing office is just like school ; it can
have no conversing without terious incon-
venience. "What would you think of one
, ' , j , 11
who would enter a school .room and. talk
aloud, first with the teacher, and then
with -the scholars, thus interrupting the
dlseintine of brie and the studies of oth-
eni. This js precisely the effect thesame
, . . . rr ' '
rourse has in a nrintim? omce. . '
"We have been induced to make this
hint from the fact that our office of late
has leen'kindof head-quarters for young
debating societies, to such an extent that
at times all lmskess has been forced to
suspend. "We refer to this matter with
the kindest feelings, and with the belief
that persons cfo not for a moment think of
the great inconvenience they subject us to,

Opinions of Distinguished
Advertise your bnsines?. Do not hide your light
under a bushel. Whatever your calling or occupa
tion may bo, if it needs support from tho public, ad
vertise it thoroughly and effectually in some shape
or other, that will arrest public attention. I freely
confess that what success I have had in life may
f.iirly be attributed more to tho public press than to
nearly all other causes combined. . There may pos
sibly beoccupfttions that do not require advertising,
but I cannot well conceivo what they are. 1. T.
Baknum.
I have always considered advertising liberally
and long to be tho great medium of success in bu
ncss, and the preludo to wealth. And I have made
it an invariable rule, too, to advertise in the dullest
times, along experience having taught me that mo
ney thu3 spent is well laid out; and by keeping my
business cont nually before the public, has secured
me many sales that I otherwise would have lost.
Stephen Oirard.
Whatever success I may havo had in business I
owe mainly to continuous Advertising, and I deem
it go-jd policy to advertiso long in tho same pipers.
From a close observation, I am fully convinced that
it is impossible to make much headway in anv branch
of commerce, without the facilities w'hich the Tress
alone can give. Jacob Ridceway.
Jly motto through life has been work and Adver
tise. In business, Advertising is th true Philoso
pher's stone, that turns whatever it touches to gold.
I hao advertised much, both in the weekly and the
daily papers ; nor havo I found that those of the
largest cieculation of cither class benefitted me
the most. Joux J. Astob.
Advertise ! advertise! jvdvertise I This is the life
of trade,and standing advertisements, you will find
will prove tho most remu erativc, at least I have
found it so, during my business career thus far; for
should you withdraw but a single week from the
papcrin which you are accustomed to advertiso, ten
chances to one that would be tho time when some
would-be-customers will look into the paper for your
business, and not finding it you will lcose severaj
profitable sales. William Grav.
' McLean's -Cordial.
As may bo seen, we inxert UtU week tho advertise
ment of McLean's Cordial.
4'It U well known wc are not particalarly favorable to
patent medicines, and, bs a peneral thing, eschew tbd
whole of them witli but little ceremony, and with ttee
lentiments we declined inserting this advertisement
unUl we knew what were the "ntfreUieuU of tbe medi
cine, and how compounded. TbU we have learned, and
belioving, an we do, that tbe ingredients arc g.d, ane
the compound judiciously made, we recommended it a
a mixture worthy of publla confidence."
The above is frcm the St. Louis Christian Advocate,
edited by tho celebrated Itcv.JDr. McAnally, which
speaks volumes in favor of McLean's Cordial. Ve say
to all, try it. See tbe advertisement in another col
umn. " .
