.''Prompted solely by a desire to promote
tUo. special interests of the South-crn por

annexation of that . portion '.of Nebraska

.and -believing further that . Kansas was
'anxious for the consummation of the ob

her Representatives' in Convention as

and being umvilliiig to gain, or even ask
adrrifssioh wlrere.net wanted, we. are free
to say, that we would Le the last to con

rangement", though sure it could be efiect
- cd by Congressional" effort. "While these
are briefly our views upon "annexation,"
we sliall go to work as zealously, privately
t abd as a journalist, to secure the. admis
sion of Nebraska as a State,, as we . have
heretofore labored to secure the annexa
tion of South Platte to Kansas.
The two Territories having been
brought into existence as such - at. the
" same-time, we can but consider it quite
appropriate that they should seek admis
sion into the Union at the same time.
We need not recapitulate the many, and,
what must be acknowledged, strong argu
ments in favor of a State form cf govern
ment over that cf a" Territorial one;
those used by the friends of annexation,
so far as relates to a Mate government,
are equally applicable now in seeking the
' admission of Nebraska.
.The agitation of the question has, at
" least, ia our opinion, accomplished an im
" portant point, tiz : by discussion, nearly
'all Nebratkians,' having in view the
future good of the country, are not only
disposed, but anxious to" throw off their
Territorial "swaddling clothes," and again
assume, by means of a Stale government,
their -cherished positions as sovereigns
before leaving their'native States.
Indeed we think Governor Ulack would
bo sustained by the 'people of Nebraska
. in calling an extra session of the Lcgis-
lature, .the object of which should be to
' provide for. a Constitutional Convention,
. that the Constitution might be framed,
ratified by a. vote of the people, and pre
sented to Congress at the coming session
WhaVdo. North Platte papers say to this
move? " Can the Nebraska Tress, m tins

, .We will . endeavor to find leisure to
treat this subject more at length in a fev
days, and to show how intimately and vi-
tally the election of Delegate to Congress
is connected with it. .
Territorial Fair.
. The Omaha Republican takes occasion
.to-censure- the Territorial Board of Agriculture,-
because of a sin of omission in
failing to provide for premiums, . it

.Ijut more particularly because of a sin of
commission, in providing liberally for the
Ladies'; Riding Match. True, Mr. Rep-
'ublican," all cannot be expected at once;"
and don't you think, too, that a "modest
lady"- could appear to as "modest" an ad
vantage on a fine charger, handsomely
caparisonod, "in the ring," at an Agri
cultural Fair, as jn the act of ad minis ter-
-ifjg corporeal punishment to some poor
devil of an editor, upon the public streets
at the'.capital ?
Seriously: Although the '-Ladies Riding-
jMatch"'al ways brings more money
into the' Society's Treasury than all other
resources combined, and thus enables the
"agricultural -interests" to be better
'pushed with . zeal," the money with
which to purchase "equestrian premiums"
is mostly raised by private subscriptions.
.-OUCH is tno intention ai me coming xuir ;
and we have faith- to believe that Neb
raska liberality will net be behind in this
respect.
The Board have done the best they
''could fof the coming Fair, and, as an
. n'ounced in the . Rules and Regulations, if
i v v .i V,.- i;ct f
anyunng iias ucvii uuiiutu. m ii.it vi
"premiums, ample provisions have been
.made for all worthy articles or objects, in
the appointment of a "Discretionary Com
mittee." whose special duty it will be to
look after such as the Rejndlican is dis
posed to complain of.
., ' We- hope there will be no complaining
from ariy quarter. Let there be unity of
feeliasjand action;-a determination to
make the best of the coming Fair, and
improve on 'it at the next. Nebraska's
future- depends upon her agricultural pro
gress and development. Nature has been
lavish in hef provisions in this respect,
' and no stumbling blocks should be thrown
in the way of her advancement.
Since the above was written, we have
read an article in the JVcbraski an, over the
' signature "Cincinnatus," complaining
and vtry properly too if there were no
mistake of SS being offered as premium
each for egg-plants, potatoes, peppers,
squashes, and lima beans. The SS ia the
fivQ articles mentioned is an error; it
should have been Si, as other articles of
this kind in the same list ; it was SI in
copy,". and how such a glaring error es
caped our eye in "reading proof," we are
at a loss to guess. Every intelligent
reader, however, must have known there
was a mistake somewhere or somehow.
We hope "Cincinnatus" is an agricul
turist, deeply interested in the future
agricultural welfare of Nebraska, and
should he contribute to 'the Territorial
Fair his hemjy corn oats, wheat, flax,
"white beans," &c.t &c.f he will be
prompted to do so by higher motives than
"will it pay." Wc wouldn't give a fig
for the support, of those who look at the
size of premiums. The motto should be
to "ezed.
Gold Mines.
Reports from the mines are still flat
tering, and arrivals of dust on the in
crease." Within the last week or ten days
over SJO.OOO in dust has been received
at various points along the river.
The following we clip from the St. Jo
seph West Of the 31st ult. :
We. were, favored on yesterday evening
by a call from" 3 fr. J.;W. Zigler, and one
other gentleman ho had just arrived on
the St. Mary, fromlhe mines. They left
Denver City two weeks ago last Sunday
and arrived at Council Bluffs just two
weeks from the lime they started. They
had worked in the mines Gregory's
Diggings just six weeks. They were
four in company, viz: J. W. Zigler, C.
M. Zigler, W. A. Dewey, and D. F.
Spane.
They could not themselves tell exactly
what they had made. They have with
them between ten and twelve thousand
dollars in dust; about this we know there
is no mistake. This amount, however,
is really but a small portion of what they
made is indeed but little more than they
sold their claim for when they left. They
sent in what they had on hand at different
times, during their stay in the mines.
They had a claim one hundred feet in
extent ; fifty feet of it they sold soon af
ter they discovered it, for 8-5,000. The
other fifty feet they worked until they
left, when they sold that for S10.000.
Mr. Zigler had a book in which he had
kept an account of the sums taken out by
the company for a number of days. From
this book he permitted us to copy the fol
lowing: S21.S70, SCO, 890, $294, S430, $495,
S340, 8300, S17C, SG4. 8S6, 8225, $240,
8242, S2S-J, 8212, $2o0, $125, $385,
S2-5G, 81G5.
These amounts show what was done on
different days.
Besides the claim which they worked,
and part of which they sold, as stated
above, they were lucky enough to buy a
claim for 8-50, which they afterwards sold
for $4,000.
These gentlemen are all from South
Bend, Indiana, and give more substantial
evidence of having done well than any
we have seen from the mines. They left
for their homes on the cars yesterday ev
ening, and say that a part of them per
haps all will return to the mines in the
spring.
The accounts they give of the mines
agree very well with what we have been
reporting for some time past. They think
there are between thirty and forty thou
sand persons in the mines, only about one
in a hundred of whom are making money.
Very many were doing nothing because
they were unwilling to work for the wa
ges they could get.
Peace Concluded In Europe.
In our last, we announced the suspen
sion of hostilities until the 15th of this
month. Later dates brings the news of
declaration of peace betw een the belliger
ent powers of Europe.
The following telegram from Napoleon
to the Empress briefly states the provi
sions of the treaty :
Valeggio, July 11. A treaty of peace
has been signed between the Emperor of
Austria and myself, on the following ba
sis: The Italian confederation is to be
under the honorary presidency of the
Pope. The Emperor of Austria concedes
his rights in Lombardy to the Emperor
of the French, who transfers them to the
King of Sardinia. The Emperor of Aus
tria preserves Venice, but she will form
an integral part of the Italian confedera
tion. Signed, Napoleon.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon-
don Times says, that the representatives
of Austria, France and Sardinia, will soon
meet at Zurich to conclude the treaty of
peace. There will be no Congress of the
great powers called to ratify the treaty,
the Emperors of France and Austria hav
ing agreed to settle the difficulty without
the intervention cf neutral powers.
The New York Herald, in an editorial
on the effects of the peace on the com
mercial interests, says they may be of
serious import to. the country if we do not
meet them calmly and with foresight.
Viewing the results of war, and its sud
den termination in the same aspect with
the result of the Crimean war, attended
as they are with failure in breadstuffs and
provision speculations, and with a reck
less speculation in imports, they are not
without menace to our commercial affairs.
The close of the present war leaves us
in imminent danger cf another panic if
we do not exercise the utmost caution to-
avert it. But in one respect the war has
benefitted us; it has increased the gov
ernment revenue considerably, at a very
opportune moment.
m
It is said that the ditliculties between
the Imperial Bonapartists and the descen
dants of Mrs. Patterson, of Baltimore,
the reputed wife of the King of West
phalia, are in the way of being composed.
The Emperor has offered to make her son
Jerome a Duke, and her grandson Jer
ome, who graduated at West Point, and
is now with the army in Italy, a Count,
with suitable pecuniary endowments for
the rank, if they will formally renounce
all claims to the name of Bonaparte. The
parties in interest haye the matter under
consideration, and it seems to be the im
pression of their friends that the proposal
will be accepted.
Correspondence from Ihe Capital.
Omaha, July 25, 1859.
PAWHEE WAB.
' The late Pawnee excursion has at least
demonstrated one fact worthy of notice,
and that is that the country to the north
west is not sterile, as some supposed, but
possessing the finest cultivable soil;
neither are the streams, which were cross
ed by the advancing forces, destitute of
timber, but a sufficiency is reported to
support large settlements in all the coun
ties through which they passed.
All join in representing that they were
much pleased with the country and the
trip.
Their course of .travel was up the val
ley of the Elkhorn, to nearly its source,
where they made their forced charge up
on the Indians who had committed the
depredations.
A treaty of peace was ratified between
the contending powers, and each retreat
ed from the-anticipated field of battle,
equally well satisfied, probably, that the
whole war had come to.' so peaceful a ter
mination, with the loss of about a dozen
Indians, seven of whom are reported to
have been slain by Capt. Pattison's com
pany, near De Witt, in Cuming county,
at the commencement of the war.
SETTLERS' ritOTECTIO.V.
It is certainly time that all suchj depre
dations were prevented in this Territory,
and should similar occurrences present
themselves, the inhabitants in the imme
diate neighborhood should feel themselves
justified, without further orders, to make
war upon them, after their manner and
mode of fighting among themselves, and
upon the principle that to the victor belong
the spoils. Let the enemy be slain and
driven from the country, and all the pro
perty belonging to them become confisca
ted to the victorious warriors on the field
of battle of the war path of the intruding
Indian. ...
A NEW FORT.
A company of the army should be sta
tioned somewhere in the vicinity of the
residence of those Indians, to keep a
close lookout after those who were so dis
posed to pilfer and murder; and in every
instance where they attempted to commit
such uncalled for depredations, they
should be followed and mowed down like !
grass. There is little confidence to be
placed in their promises and treaties, and
the only way is to whip them into a lasting
submission and by getting them under
fear.
POLITICAL.
The question of the election of Dele
gate to Congress is now waxing warm
among our citizens, and more especially
within a few days past. Heretofore tney
have endeavored apparently to keep
themselves aloof from the excitements
attendant upon such times, but the spell
has been broken, and a general impres
sion appears to be finding vent in the
choice of democratic candidates.
Gen. Estabrook and Dr. Miller are the
most prominent, and indeed I might say
the only gentlemen who appear to have
the least encouragement among our citi
zens. Others are occasionally spoken of, but
do not enter into the canvass as seeking
success and victory by being selected by
this people as the standard bearer of the
party, for the next political campaign in
October next.
The trial of strength is undoubtedly
between the two individuals before spok
en of, one of which will be chosen on Sat
urday next as the representative from this
county, to appear before the next Terri
torial Convention, to be held at Platts
mouth, to meet hisantagonistical political
friend, in fierce but amicable combat for
a victorious nomination.
THE REPUBLICANS.
The Republican party appears some
what in a quandary as to the proper
course to pursue to insure success in the
next campaign for the offices of this Ter
ritory. Some are desirous of running a full
blooded Republican, whilst others are in
favor of putting on the course a mixed
b&od, under the new appellation of the
Opposition. .
General Tbayer is their most promi
nent candidate here, whilst they have
their minds turned towards Jude Bennet
of Nebraska City, and one of your Ne
maha constituency Mr. Daily of Peru.
Some of that party think they can catch
the more snaps under the appellation - of
Opposition than under their true party
name, and therefore be more likely to
insure success against the Democracy ;
w hilst others conclude there is more man
liness and honor in fighting under their
chosen banner, for principle, with proba
bilities of less chance of victory.
Under the Opposition name, they can
glide along advocating doctrines to suit
particular individuals who have in view
only the defeat ef the unterrified Demo
cracy. CAPITOLIUM.
Omaha, July 30, 1S59.
COUNTY CONVENTION.
Considerable feeling and anxiety has
been exhibited on the streets during the
last few days, in reference to the selec
tion of delegates to the Territorial Con
vention to be held at Plattsmouth, for the
purpose of nominating Territorial officers.
The friends, both personal and political,
of Gen. Estabrook and Dr. Miller were
sanguine of success, yet the war waged
was more for choice than for destruction
of the respective opponents. The elec
tion was energetically contested by the
respective parties, and amicably decided
by the choice of nine Miller delegates.
Such family contests in the democratic
ranks I always regret to see, much less
be urged to participate in them, being
thereby compelled by so doing to dispar
age friends of long acquaintance and inti
macy. But so moves the political world
at times, and we can do no other way
than to pleasantly submit, and endeavor
to be content with whatever decisions may
be rendered by the people.
Although Dr. Miller succeeded to-day
in gathering the most voters in their pri
mary election capacity for his support, it
will nevertheless probably not be denied
that the forces of both gentlemen are
very nearly equal throughout the county.
They will both appear before the Platts
mouth Convention, and ask the nomina
tion from the collected delegation there
assembledi each equally confirmed, apparently-
that he hps a sufficient number bf
friends, "dnd ample support throughout the
Territory, to elevate him to tho honorable
position of candidate for Congress.
Let the proper ground-work of the
democracy be established by that Conven
tion, then whoever may be the choice of
the collected wisdom in that Convention,
will certainly be elected by the people.
The greatest fears I entertain in ref
erence to the action of that Convention,
are that they may not meet the wants and
expectations of the democracy in plainly
setting forth the principles of the party,
so that there can be no possible equivoca
tion or misunderstanding of our position,
on all the prominent questions now being
canvassed throughout the confederacy by
the democracy and the people at large.
Let us know upon what the parties
mainly differ, and the sentiments of each,
and then all will be enabled intelligently
to advocate and uphold what he knows po
sitively to be the opinions of the rarty,
without fear of successful contradiction.
RANKIN DELEGATION.
At the same time we were trying the
strength and popularity of our respective
candidates in Omaha, the good people of
Sarpy county were endeavoring to make
a choice between Dr. Rankin and Judge
Ferguson.
Dr. Rankin succeeded in the selection
of four delegates favorably disposed to
wards him for Congress, by a majority of
37 votes out of about 175 cast at the con
vention. Miller, Estabrook, Rankin, Kinney,
and C. B. Smith, are all talked of as can
didates who will probably receive sup
port at Plattsmouth.
REFCllLICANS.
We have before us here, asking the
suffrages of the dear people, or at least
looking forward to a nomination by the
Republican Convention, John Sahler of
Omaha, and Taffe of Omadi, in the north
ern portion of the Territory, besides
those whom I mentioned last week. From
this it appears that the Republicans are
not any more united and harmonious than
our own party. We saw proper to select
between two, but when the enemy is to
be met, tlre is but little possible chance
for a division in our ranks, for all are
ready to say they are for the regular
nominee. CAPITOLIUM.
For the Advertiser.
Mr. Editor:
I desire that you may givy this Plat
form of principles an insertion in your
paper, for the consideration of the demo
cracy of the Territory, previous to the
next Democratic Convention, to be held
at Plattsmouth.
I have taken the trouble to select and
compile such portions of democratic prin
ciples, from other platforms, as appeared
most suitable to be adopted and advocated
by the democracy of Nebraska. Princi
ples and men. "JEFFERSON."
Platform for Next Campaign.
Iiesolcnf, That wo assert the doctrine of non-intervention
by Congress in reference either to States
or Territories, as the ouly ground upou which a na
tional party can be maintained in these confederated
States.
Resolved, That the organized territories of the
United States arc only held in territorial condition
until they atUin a sufficient number of inhabitants
to authorize their admission into tho Union as
States, and are justly entitled to self-goverciuent,
and the undisturbed regulation of their own domes
tic or local affairs, including the slavery question;
and that the legislative power of the territories ex
tends undeniably to all rightful subjects of legisla
tion, the same as in the States.
Remlved, That Congress has no power to establish,
abolish, regulate, or protect slavery in the territo
ries, that being pureiy a domestio question, and it
has no authoiity to legislate on tho subject in any
manner or for any purpose other than for tho States
on similar sutjects.
Resolved, That the territorial legislatures may
establish, regulate, and protect, or they may abolish
or exclude slavery, and should consider it in a simi
lar manner with ull other kinds of property .
Resolved, That ve hold to the doctrine that the
Constitution of tho U. States neither establishes
nor prohibits slavery in the territories, beyond the
power of the people legally to control it as property.
Resolved, That we are unconditionally opposed to
the reopening of the African slave-trade, and believes
its revival would not only renew thuya cruel aes
which ence provoked tho indignation of the civilized
world, but would entail a foul blot on our country's
fair escutcheon.
Resolced,Tli&t, wilh tho founders of tho republic,
we believe that governments derive their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed, and that it is
proper that tho peoplo of an organized territory
should be permitted to elect their own officers, and
to enact their own laws, free from Congressional
and Executive control.
Resolved, That territorial legislatures should call
Conventions for the purpose of forming Constitu
tions for State governments, which Constitutions
6hould be submitted to the people for ratification or
rejection; and if ratiSed by a majority of the legal
voters of the proposed State, but not otherwise,
may bejsent to Congress in the form of an applica
tion for admission into the Union, on an equal foot
ing with the other States, with such boundaries 03
Congress shall prescribe; and we deny the right, and
will condemn the attempt, of any Convention call
ed for the purpose of framing a Constitution, to im
pose tho instrument formed by them upon the peo
ple, against their known will.
Resolved, That tho people may delegate power to
a Convention to frame a Constitution and put it in
force without submission, but such delegation must
be clear and indisputable; implication will not do.
The true doctrine ia that all powers not exprersly
delegated, are reserved tothepcopla.
Rtsolved, That the Supreme Court of the United
SUtea being, under the Conititution, an indepen
dent and co-ordinate branch of government, with a
tenure cf office which cannot be changed by the
immediate action of parties through tho instrumen
tality of Congress or the people, we hold that no
party is responsibla for its doctrines, except they
adopt its decisions as a plank in their platform, nor
are parties exclusively bound by tho same, . except
so far as to inculcate obedience to its decisions while
they continue ia force.
Resolved, That all naturalized citizens are entitl
ed to the sime protection, both at home and abroad,
that is extended to the native born citizens, and that
even a voluntary return of such citizens to the land
of their birth for a temporary purpose, does not place
them beyond the range of that protection, but that
our government is bound to shield them from injary
and insult while there', at every hazard.
Resolved, That the expan5iou cf our national do
main is desirable whenever it shall be necessary for
the safety, happiness and prosperity of the liepul lic,
and wo will hail with pleasure the acquisition of the
island of Cuba, whenever it can bo eifeoted with
justice, and in accordance with tho wishes of the
people thereof. But as a nation we can never as
sent to its appropriation by any of the powers of
Europe, and will incur all tluv hazards of war to
avert such a result.
Resolved, That without Courts cf jujti:e, State,
territorial, and national, respected by the people,
and sustained in their proper functions by popular
sentiment,anarcby and violence wiil become inevi
table, and all rights of both person and property bo
couie insecure and worthless.
Resolved, That the action of the public authori
ties in some of the State?, in attempting to set at
defiance by Suto authority decisions of the Sup
reme Court, and acts of Concres passed ia accord
ance with the Constitution, u tto very esfene of
nullification. .... ,
Resolved, That the building of a central railroad
connecting the Atlantic and l'aifi3 coasts, by Kranl3
of thorublio land aloc thelino thereof, or by any
other constitutional means, will meet with our hearty
approval.
Pesolved, That wearo in favor of Congress grant
ing a homestead to actuil settlers, of 1 6 i) acres, on
alternate quarter sections of land, subject to such
restrictions only as Congress may deem best to ac
complish the greatest good to the occupant and the
government.
Resolved, That we are opposed to a wasteful, ex
travaggant and corrupt system of internal improves
ment3, but hold that improvements ot a national
character may properly bo made with tho nation's
money, and that, in justice, tho general government
as a grand landowner, s-hould contribute t.f her large
domain to those public improvements by which her
interests are secured and promoted, and the value of
tbatdomain enhanced.
Resolved, That we are in favor of an economical
administration cf the federal government, und will
lend the best eTorts tothosovho advocate reform
and retrenchment in our national expenditures.
Revolved, That wo are in favor of a bankrupt law
for banks and monied institutions, so that hereafter
corporations created by law shall jbo ccmpelltd to
discharge faithfully all their obligation?, aEd the
money power be subjected to wise, uniform, and in
flexible rules, for tho preservation of the labor and
business of tho country from the ruinous consequen
ces of inflated credits,disa?trous expansion", and ca
lamitous convulsions, and for the better maintenance
cf tho specie standard in all transactions as contem
plated by the frames of tho federal constitution.
Resolved, That each congressional district should
be left free to choose its delegates to the National
Convention in its own way.
Resolved, That paramount to all questions cf a
party or sectional nature, wo aro in favor of the
Union now and forever, and regard the rights of the
States ns the only possible way to strengthen and
perpetuate our glorious confederacy.
Resolved, That wc enter upon tho approaching
contest with full faith in the truth and virtue ot"
our principles, and with confidenco in the intelli
gence of tho people to sustain our cause and secure
the victory.
Resolved, That there is a West which should bo
represented and known at the Capital and through
out the Union as deserving of much consideration in
council.
Resolved, That we cordially tender to the people
of tho Union an invitation to uuito with us in
maintaining an organization on the princii les indi
cated in the foregoing resolutions; that we earnestly
appeal to them to drop past differences and assem
ble again as a band of brothers under th; panoply of
tho Constitution of the Union.
Resolvt.d, That a tarifffor revenue with incidental
protection, to surh particular new interests as may
be necess:iy to be festered for a period, during the
commencement of on experimental undertaking,
should bo tho true policy cf this countrj. lbe 1
amount of duties should be limited to the necessary
wants of the government, and they should bo soap
portioned as to fall as lightly as possible upou the
people by whom they arc eventually to be paid.
In speaking of the Turcos, Mr. Ray
mond, of the Near York Times, thus de
scribes those fierce warriors whom the
French have called to their aid in Italy:
Beside me in the crowd ttood two Tur
cos, those fearful and feroexms Arabs of

they are upon close inspection'. Dark as

rather than the moral courage which is

the above, mainly, is correct ; perhaps in
the whole is as near right as a platform

doubt as to the success of democracy in
Nebraska.
While we have, as Nebraskians, local
interests to look after and protect, there
is a general Wtslern interest in which we
are sharers in weal or woe interests of
vital importance, and in regard to which
great indifference heretofore has been
manifested by the West. May not the

rolling eastward arouse the slumbering
giant to a sense of its duty and import
ance? While the "North" and the

over matters only calculated to alienate in
