From the People's Press. Is Nebraska Entitled to a State Gov ernment wltli her Present Popu lation? The propriety of State Sovereignty commends itself to the favoralle consider ation of every reflective citizen of Nebras ka, and 60 far as we have been able to ascertain, there is but onL.sentinient en tertained, common to all,"i.hich is that Nebraska should, at the earliest possible day seek admission into the Union as an independent State. The reasons are ob vious, the effect upon the prosperity of the country too apparent for argument, or even references to other Territories ad mined to the full enjoyment of all their civil and political rights. Our Territory has now reached in po pulation, wealth and commercial import ance that culminating point, which accor ding to all precedent in admitting States, justifies her in asserting as a right a po sition among the sisterhood in this great republic. To obtain so important a desi deratem, the next Legislature should pro vide for a Constitutional Convention, for the election of delegates, and for submit ting the constitution to a popular vote of the people, and, if accepted, Congress would not do less than add another star to that banner which will ever promptly wave "O'er the land of the free, And the homo of the brave." A common error seems to have taken possession of the public mind, that no ter ritory can be admitted as a State, unless it has ninety-three thousand population. The debates in Congress upon the appli cation of Kansas under the "Lccompton Constitution," have given rise to this pre vailing sentiment. Never before was population made a condition for the formation of States; and we think we are safe in saying that in the twenty-one States admitted under the Federal Constitution, in but one solitary instance (that of Arkansas) did Congress in the acts admitting them, specify the number of inhabitants contained within the jurisdiction of the new State. If a definite population were necessary us a condition precedent to admission, it would appear in the act admitting the State that this condition was not wanting, and that the population having been defi nitely ascertained by a sworn officer was ample and complete. We said the error grew out of the debates upon the applica tion of Kansas. It will be remembered that a large party in Congress were op posed to admitting Kansas under the con stitution presented, and every means was resorted to for the purpose of preventing the consummation of what was called the "Lecompton fraud." Among other rea sons urged was, that the Territory did not possess the requisite inhabitants under the census act of 1850, apportioning mem bers of Congress among the several States. A vigorous effort was here first made to make Kansas an exception to the general rule, and to apply terms and affix conditions to that Territory which had never been applied lo the admission of any other. But even in the case of Kansas, the bill passed admitting it with a population not exceeding forty thousand, prefixing, however, as a condition, that unless the people accepted the constitution at a po pular election, she should not come unto the Union until 6he had ninety-three thousand. That constitution, as is well known, was rejected, and at the last session an attempt was made to pass an appropria tion of twenty thousand dollars to take the census of Kansas, in order to ascertain whether it had the necessary inhabitants under the "English bill," which failed was voted down clearly showing that the condition was abandoned and would not be further insisted on. Kansas will, therefore, at the next session, present her new constitution without any reliable data as to population, and certainly without any pretence to the number under the "English bill," and who believes she will be rejected on the ground she does not contain the necessary number to entitle the State to a member under the census of ISoO? By the act of 18o0, commonly known as the apportionment law, the Secretary of the Interior is required to have an enu meration of the inhabitants of the States taken. The aggregate population thus ascertained is to be divided by the number L33, and the product of such division is to be the ratio or rule of apportionment of representatives among the several States. The Secretary of the Interior is then re quired to ascertain in the same manner the representative population of each State, and divide the whole number by the same ratio, and the product thus as certained is to be the number of repre sentatives apportioned to each State giving to all the then States 233 represen tatives, and to each State as its population was to the population of all the States. The whole enumeration being divided by 233, the number of members in Congress all the States were entitled to, give a fraction over ninety-three thousand as the representative population in each State. Upon this Jaw do the friends of the popu lation rule for Territories base their ar gument. They say we are not entitled to be admitted, because we have not the population required for a member of Con gress. We hold their construction of the law partial and unjust. The object of the law was to limit the number of members in the popular branch of Congress to 233 for the then States until 1660. 'But an express provision is made that if after the apportionment of representatives upler that or any subsequent census, new State or States shall be admitted, tlu represen tative or representatives assigned to such new State or States shall be in addition to the number of representatives limited in said law. Here then we have in this law an express provision for admitting States without regard to the rule adopted for the then States. Since the enactment of that law, Minnesota has, come Iuvith two representatives and Oregon with one, the latter not pretending to have the number contended for under the rule, and without any official enumeration to ascer tain the population of either. If, as is said, the Territory must have ninety-three thousand, how, we ask, is the fact to be ascertained ? The federal constitution only provides for taking the census once in teu years. Suppose in 18G0, by the return of the Marshal, it should appear that Nebraska had a population of ninety two thousand, would we be compelled to wait until 1870, with a population of two or three hundred thousand, before we could come into the Union? And yet there is no authority for taking the cen sus before 1S70, and Congress can only be legally informed of the population in one way, to wit : through her sworn offic er, the Marshal. It is said that a special law could be passed, we reply that Con gress refused it to Kansas, and would, to be consistent, refuse it to Nebraska. the folly of the rule. But, it is said, admitting Territories with less population is unjust to the other States; Not, certainly, unjust - to those which have been admitted with less popu lation than we have, and they probably embrace more than two thirds of the new States. Have we not a right, under this constitution, to be admitted upon the same terms, and upon an equal footing with those that have preceded us? If so, how can it be done, if a different rule is ap plied to Nebraska than has been applied to Florida, Arkansas, Iowa, Oregon and others ? Have not all the Territories, ex cept Arkansas, been admitted without re gard to population, and with a population equal to the only Territory which forms an exception, to all former precedent, are we to be excluded ? If so, how is Neb raska to be ever admitted ? If Congress can require ninety-three thousand a for tiori, it can require three hundred thous and, and Territories may struggle in vain for half a century to secure the blessings of a free government There is neither sense, justice nor humanity in the rule, and it is beneath the dignity of grave Senators, to subject dependencies to such burden, and equally beneath the dignity of a free and enlightened people, capable of and entitled roself government to sub mit to the oppression. But we hold that by virtue of the treaty with France in 1S03, ceding to the gen eral government the country now known as Nebraska, we have a right to be ad mitted without regard to any definite po pulation. By the second article of the treaty it is provided that the inhabitants of th z ceded Territory shall be incorporated into the Union of the United States, and ADMITTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, according to the principles of the federal constitu tion, to all the rights, advantages and im munities of citizens of the United States. "Admitted as soon as possible. Does this mean that whenever it shall suit the whim or caprice of Congress ? When ever the applying Territory shall bring herself within some arbitrary rule ? Has Congress the power, under this solemn treaty, which is next to the Constitution in its binding form and obligation, to pre scribe terms which render admission im possible; and in that way deprive us of the right secured under the treaty ? Treaties are solemn compacts, and Congress has no more right to violate them than it has the Constitution of the United States. If terms are to be allowed where is to be the limit ? If population is to be affixed as one of the terms, may not Congress go further, and say that sla very shall forever exist in the new State, as a condition to coming into the Union? What is to hinder ? There is the same constitutional authority for the one as for the other. The word "possible" in the treaty, negatives in the most emphatic manner, the possibility of such terms. The boon of self-government is secured to the people who may inhabit the country included within the purchase, so soon as they desire it and can support a State or ganization, they themselves being the judges. Territorial governments are serious evils, probably necessary, but should only be tolerated as a necessity, and this ne cessity ceases as soon as the people are able to form a government of their own, and not one moment beyond this should they endure or submit to a deprivation of their civil or political rights. "Admitted according to the principles of the Federal Constitution.1 In that solemn instrument we find no arbitrary rule of population : but all that is required of the new State is that the Constitution shall be republi can. By what right has Congress to add other conditions? But again, suppose the rule of popula tion is applied. It would be unjust, be cause it would not be universal, and would not operate on all alike. Louisia na, Arkansas, Iowa and Minnesota all included u'ithin the purchase of France have been admitted, and in neither case was the rule contended for applied. Some of these States had more population than others. While Minnesota had near two hundred thousand, Arkansas had but forty-seven thousand seven hundred, in cluding blacks. In neither case was po pulation a criterion. They were all ad mitted. as a matter of right under the Constitution and Treaty. Are both to be violated by keeping Nebraska out of the Union? Most certainly, if a different rule is to obtain. We say then to the people os Nebraska, assert your rights, form and adopt your Constitution, and knock at the door of, the Un': ri , nd it shalLbe opened uuto. jou. Greatnes of Little Things. Scientific research iterates and reiter ates one moral the greatness of little things, and the importance, not only of the minute study of facts, but of the study of minute facts. One can imagine the contempt with which the "practical men" of the last century listened to the news that a bitter controversy was raging be tween two Italian philosophers, as to the reason why a frog's leg twitches under certain circumstances; and yet therein lay the bud of the electric telegraph and electro-plating, and numerous other! un dertakings in which the practical man of the present day, though as averse as his ancestors to every investigation whose fruits are not immediately visible, is very happy to invest his money. The study of snow-balls, pie-crust, and squeezed wax, has led tho physical philosopher to comprehend two of the greatest natural phenomena the cleavage of rocks, and the structure of glaciers. A century ago, tho collecting of. fossils was regarded as an occupation of about the same dignity as the accumulation of old china. Now, the coal miner risks his capital upon the strength of the evidence they afford, and the landed proprietors of some of our eastern counties pocket many thousand pounds every year, by selling the phos phatic fossils, whose nature was first pointed out to them by a country clergy man who happened to be a man of science. And net only does the gradual widening and perfecting of our view of nature bring with it a respect for the influence of the study of minute facts, oti the advance ment of knowledge, and the bettering man's estate, but it tells us that, apart from all consideration of man and his wants, minute and seemingly most insig nificant agents have played a mighty part in the history of our glote. Idle 'iioys. A writer in the Northwestern Christian Advocate, has the following sound advice to boy.s, which all our young readers would do well to consider : He who is idle and vicious in school is still more so when he leaves it. He who fires squibs will in time firo pistols. . He who plays cards for sport, will, if he turns not, play ere long for money. He who robs henroosts or orchards will probobly some day rob safes and pocket-books, lie may not do it in a way to expose himself to the penitentiary ; he may have his wits so hardened as to rob legally, by setting up a wild-cat bank, ar betraying the con fidence of his employer, or obtaining pos session of property without the means of paying for it, or by getting his hand upon the public coffers that he may fill his own under the soft appellation of "breach of trust." I would that you could see with my eyes for a little while; you would then think with me, that he who when a boy could not be trusted, cannot now that he is a man. It would not be proper for me to mention any names, for I could illus trate this by numerous painful examples. But they are not necessary. Effect will follow cause as a man sows so shall he reap; boyhood is the seed time, of which manhood n the harvest. As, therefore, you love yourselves, form the habit, while young, of employing all your time usefully. Never be unemploy ed. The land is full of idlers, striving to live without labor. It is not to be suppo sed that a boy is to be a man. much less an old man, but in the midst of his mirth and hilarity he may be innocent and amiable. The illness of the body usually brings out a latent power and philosophy of the soul which health never knows; and God has mercifully ordained it a3 the custom ary lot of nature, and in proportion as we decline into the grave, the sloping path is made smooth and easy to our feet; and every day as the films of clay are remov ed from our eye3. Dath loses the false aspect of the spectre, and we fall at last into its arms as a wearied child upon the bosom of its mother. In beginning the world, if yea don't wish to be chafed at every turn, fold up your pride carefully, put it under lock and key, and only let it out to air on rrand occasions. Pride is a garment, all stiff brocade outside, all grating sackcloth on the side next to the skin. Even kings don't wear the dalmaticusi except . at a coronation. An Indian complained to a rumseller that the price of liquor was too high. The latter in justification said that it cost as much to keep a hogshead of brandy as a cow. "May be he drink as much water," replied the Indian, but he no eat so much hay." "Ah," said old Mrs. Doosenbury, "laming is a great thing. I've often felt j the want of it. Why, would you believe it, I'm now sixty years eld, and only know the names of three months in the year, and them's spring, fall and autumn, and I lamt the names of them when I was a leetle bit of a gal." .
