Let everybody come. MANY CITIZENS. Land Business In Nemaha Land unice. ' On.MbDdny last the office at this place opened for private entries. Col. Nixoif very reneroufly, refused to receive appli cations for private entries before 12 o'clock, giving the settlers an opportunity to file during the forenoon under tne benefit of the 15th section of the act of 4th Sept. ISil; by which a year's time i secured in which to pay for the land. One hundred and twenty-seven filings were made before 12 o'clock, fifty-two of which were made before breakfast. The vacant lands in this District have been examined personally by those wish ing to invest, and being very valuable, are sought after with much zeal. Purchasers take their "turn" at the counter; are al lowed to enter no more than 640 acres, each, at a time. Up to yesterday evening two and one-half days the number of k acres entered at private entry with war rants was 21,875 acres. And THUS is the "National Treasury replenished;" and the "four millions" promised by the Secretary of the Interior to the Secretary of the Treasury, as pro ceeds from sales of public lands, being rapidly made up. The Way It Can Be Done! We have, frequently through the col umns of our paper, and in private letters endeavored to convince people east in the old States especially those with limited means and possessions, how much better they can do for themselves and families by coming west, than by remain ing in the older and more densly popula ted portions of the country. The past week a case just in point has come to our knowledge, A man, in one of the old States, with quite a family, had by inces sant toil, succeeded in securing eighty acres of ' land, ofi" of which he was barely making a living. lie was finally induced to try his fortune in the "West," and ac cordingly ".sold out" and came to this county. With the proceeds from his 'sales, he here purchased thirteen hundred and txccrJy acres ; for 320 of which he paid 10 per acre, and calculates he has money sufficient left, to fence 1000 acres of his land! This man, besides having a farm of his own, four times as large as the one lie before owned, and more pro ductive ; with equally as good market, has for distribution among his five children tiro hundred acres of land to each! Com ment is unnecessary and we only mention this for the benefit of 'doubting ones' in the . States, as a case having actually oc cured. . , Nebraska Wool Growing. - Exru, Aug. 16th, 1859. Mr. Editor: For the benefit of Ne braska Sheep iaisers, I will give you my experience for the last year: I had 23 head of sheep last fall, which I kept on corn and hay so as to keep them mutton fat through the winter. This spring, or rather about the 10th of June, I had them sheared and obtained 204 lbs. of wool, nnd from one yearli ng buck 15 lbs. W. S. HORN. We wish more of our farmers would imitate the example of Mr. Horn, and furnish for our paper the result of their experiments. We Trill always take pleas ure in giving publicity to anything of the kind. Ed. State Organization. .

Omaha, Aug. 15, 1S59. HAIL STOllM. m On last Wednesday, about 2 o'clock P. M., we had the heaviest hail storm that wc have witnessed for many years. Whilst approaching it was heard for miles in the distance, and presented the appear ance and roaring noise as that of a rush ing and destructive tornado. The hail storm and sunshine apparently mingled as it came within the scope of our vision, presenting a beautiful and di versified landscape constituting cur sur roundings." Some of the hail were picked up at our door as large as small hens eggs. After the hail had partially ceased to fall, a heavy rain ensued, which com pletely drenched the earth, much to the advantage of the young crops. CROPS. The grain fields of this portion of the Territory, so far as we have been able to ascertain the facts, are likely to yield an abundant harvest to the husbandman, in consideration of fu industry and perse verance. Wheat and oats are mostly cut, and ap pear very encouraging both as to quantity and quality. There being no rust, nor anything to do the crops damage, we may expect and certainly do anticipate lower prices and greater abundance in the future. Potatoes are less prosperous and yield ing, in consequence of the dryness of the forepart of the season, which leaves them smaller than usual at this season of the year. DUTY Or THE DEMOCRACY. Inasmuch as this is the first time the Democracy of Nebraska have successfully attempted, as we hope, to nominate can didates for Territorial offices, it is to be desired that they should so manage the affairs of the party as to bring to bear the greatest possible strength to its support, by the nomination of well qualified con servative gentlemen, who will carry with them the true principles of the party, po pularity of person, decision of character, honesty of purpose, the welfare of all portions of their constituency, and able advocates. It should be the desire and pleasure of the Democracy of each county, to place in nomination on their county tickets such individuals as will faithfully serve them and give credit and influence to the gen eral ticket of the Territory, thereby work ing harmoniously together fcr the welfare of the entire party, as well as for their own safety and benefit as to their parti cular localities. There are many plans concocted by the opposition to defeat us, and therefore it more particularly requires extreme cau tion both in the offensive and defensive operations of the party. STATE ORGANIZATION. It has been recently proposed by some individuals to make an immediate effort towards the organization of the State of Nebraska, for which object it is suggest ed that the Governor' be induced to call together the Representatives of the Ter ritory in extra session as soon as most practicable. When assembled it will be recommended to the Legislative Assembly to proceed immediately to make the necessary pre parations, by consulting- the several tribes in the western portion of the Territory, for the purpose of obtaining their consent to have a Territorial and Stale govern ment over their dominion. The Nebraska Gold Mines, in the vi cinity of Long's Peak, now embrace a large and rapidly increasing population, which, they claim, require immediate protection through the instrumentality of the law. And therefore the proposition is to define the boundaries of new counties along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, and to give to them a legal and thorough organization. At the same session the Legislature will be urged to call a Constitutional Con vention to report a Constitution for the State of Nebraska. The Convention to be called at such a date as will enable the delegates to complete their labors in time to have the new instrument submitted to the people for their ratification before be ing sent to Congress. This course, they say, will enable Ne braska to get into the Union at an early day, and probably as soon as its twin sis ter Kansas. It is said that an agent has been sent among the Indians in Western Nebraska for the purpose of obtaining their consent to permit the people to reside among them, as also to extend the government and laws over their present domain and jurisdiction. In this manner it is proposed to satisfy all reasonable men - who prate so much about the necessity of a State organiza tion, and also to prevent the dismember ment of our fair Territory. They conjecture such a course would give us a very respectable population to base our hopes upon in anticipation of an immediate State organization. For the present they suggest what may prove the most compromising between all parties, including the- north, south and west, and result in the quiet settlement of many of our local differences in reference to territorial affairs. CAPITOLIUM. JyU'e received another letter from "Capitolium" just as going to press. His letters, latterly, are unfortunate as to reaching us; but are on this account nvne the less iutercstin. Indian Troubles In Southern Kan sas A Battle. We have news of serious Indian trou bles in Southern Kansas. A trentleman has arrived in Kansas City and reported that the Kaws, Osasres and Camanches had collected in Ratler and Greenwood counties to the number of five thousand, threatening destruction to the whites of that region. -Subsequent reports says the town of Lmpona had been invested by about five hundred cf the savages. A battle is reported to have taken place near Eldorado, on Lower hitewater, m which a hundred Indianc and five whites arc said to have been killed. The greatest consternation prevails. This hostility is supposed to have originated from the hanging of some Kaws, at Council Grove some time since, by the settlers. These are the reports thev are doubtless great ly exagerated. St. Joseph Gazette. Douglas Newspapers in the South. Selma, Ala., July 13, '59. To the Editor of the Herald: As a subscriber and constant reader of your paper, permit me to take the liberty of calling attention to and correcting the views expressed in the following extract taken from your editorial of the 6th inst: "In all the Southern States there are only two Democratic papers, we believe, that pretend to support the present posi tion of Senator Douglas the Louisville Democrat and the Mobile 'Register and the editor of the Register has taken this fcourse of late, not from his admiration of Squatter Sovereignty," but from his personal hostility to Mr. Buchanan. In deed, the prevailing Southern Democratic sentiment on this subject of Slavery in the Territories is so intensely hostile to any other doctrine than that of Gov. Wise, that Mr. Buchanan in that quarter is now frequently assailed as faithless to Southern-rights in failing to prosecute the war for the extermination cf Douglas and his followers." You are mistaken when you assert that the Mobile Register and the Louisville Democrat are the only papers South which support the position of Senator Douglas. You must examine your exchanges better and you will find that in addition to the Register and Democrat, the Louisiana Courier, Montgomery Confederation, Huntsville Advocate, Mississippi Enter prise, Tennessee Quid Nunc, Augusta Constitutionalist, several Kentucky Dem ocratic papers, Lynchburgh ( Ya.) Repub lican, Richmond Examiner, Fredericks burg News, Fincastle Democrat, War rentou Flag, Fairmount True Virginian, Bedford Democrat, Wheeling Argus, Spirit of Democracy, Virginia Index, Washington States, Alabama State Senti nel, and several other Southern journals support the views of the Illinois Senator his past and present position. J. i. Herald. Judge Douglas on the Territorial Question In 1S59. "But you say that we propose to prohibit by law your emigrating to the Territories with your property. Vv e propose no such thing. e recognize your right in com mon with our own, to emigrate to the Territories with your property, and there hold and enjoy it it in subordination to the laws you may find in force in the country. Those laws, in .some respects, differ from our own, as the laws of the various States in this LTnionvary, on some points, from the laws in each other. Some species cf property are excluded by law in most of the States as well as Territo ries, as being unwise, immoral, or con trary to the principles of sound public po licy. For instance, the banker is prohib ited from emigrating to Minnesota, Ore gon, or California with his bank. The bank may be property by the laws of New York, but ceases to be so when taken into a State or Territory where banking is prohibited by the local law. So ardent spirits, whisky, brandy, all the intoxicat ing drinks, are recognized and protected as property in most of the States, if not all of them ; but no citizen, whether from the North or South, can take this species of property with him, and hold, sell, or use it at its pleasure in all the Territo ries, because it is prohibited by the local law in Oregon by the statutes of the Territory, and in the Indian country by the acts of Congress. Nor can a man go there, and take and hold his slave, for the same reason. These laws, and many others involving similar principles, are directed against no section, and impair the rights of no State in the Union. They are laws against the introduction, sale, and use of specific kinds of property, whether brought from the North or the South, or from foreign countries." t The Future of the North-West. Magic seems fairly rivalled in the growth of the Ncrth-west. Few can bring their imagination up to the reality. Vast prairies, which but yesterday were sur veyed by government, and offered to set tlers at one dollar and a quarter per acre, now present almost one unbroken field, for section after section of waving grain, each acre producing annually enough to pay for many acres at the original cost. Agricultural Societies spring up, foster ing improvements, encouraging the im portation of the best stock, and introduc ing approved agricultural machinery. It is interesting to compare the number of Agricultural Societies in the East and South with those of the West; and in the list, as taken from the books of the Secretary of the Interior, we find Illinois leading the van. They rank as follow?; : Illinois 88 Tennessee 19 New York . 77 Minnesota 11 Indiana 76 Nebraska 11 Pennsylvania 6S Maryland 10 Ohio 63 California S Massachusetts 44 South Carolina S Iowa 36 Washington 2 Missouri 34 Oregon 2 Wisconsin - 31 Kansas 1 Virginia 31 Utah 1 Other States seem not to have report ed. Michigan, no doubt, ranks with Iowa and Wisconsin ; but this is enough to show that the "March of Empire Westward holds her way." Illinois has to-day one and a quarter millions of inhabitants, and the next census will startle the First Families of Virginia. . The Central Committee Met at Plattsmouth and organized by electing B. P. Rankin, chairman, II. C Blackman, Secretary, and S. A. Strick land, Treasurer. From the Gold Mines. From the Leavenworth Ikrald of yes terday we.clip the following very interest ing news from the gold mines by the last express to that city : Yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock, one of Jones, Russell & Co's. Express coaches arrived in our city, bringing dates to Aug. 6th.' The coach we learn came full of passengers. We are indebted to the polite and gen tlemanly clerks cf the'Express Office for the news. The Express brought in S1.S16 25 in gold dust. The news from the mines con tinues very favorable, and establishes be yond a doubt as a "fixed fact," that gold exists in large quantities in the mountains, and that too, over a large scope of country. The passangers confirm all the accounts, and state that many are making fortunes, others are making fair wages of from five to ten dollars per day to the hand, while others are making nothing. Emigrants are going to the mines, and some few dissatisfied persons are leaving here. The season is now getting far ad vanced for persons to go to the mines. But next season it is anticipated a large emigration will go to the mines. Messrs. Jones, Russell & Co., received yesterday $3,726 from the Philadelphia mint, made from actual Pike's Peak gold. The dust was sent to that place and there coined and returned here. This is the first Pike's Teak gold coin and is some thing of a curiosity, but ere long we ex pect to see plenty of just such coin.

Whereas, The members cf this Convention have met in pursuance of a call of tho Executive Com mittee of the democratic party cf the Territory of eorasKa, aiiu oeing unimaiea Dy a desiro lor the maintenance and asoendancy of democratic princi ples, and a devotion to the Constitution of the Union and laws of our country and beirg desirous cf pre senting a platform of principles ur.iuistak.able as to the opposition of the democracy of this Territory, and upon which ail can harmonize, and knowing no distinction between members of the party on account of construction or application of its principles; Thercforo llexclctd, That we affirm our abiding faith and confidence in the principles of the democratic party as promulgated by the founders of the government and as sustained aad carried out by thoso true friends of the Union, Jefferson, Madison and Jwkson, and as enunciated in the Cincinnati Platform of 1S5C. Resolved, That wchold to the absolute sovereign ty and inviolable rights of all States of the Union in regard to their domestic institutions, and the perfect compatibility of Free and Slave States to exist harmoniously together under the provisions of the Federal Constitution. Resolved, That we hereby declare it to be the proper construction the truJ intent and meaning of the act of Congress organizing this territory, and its general application to all territories, that the poople thereof have th e only tnd exidusivo riHit in the organization of a State government, to form and regulato their domestic institutions in their own wiy, subject only to the Constitution of the United Suites and that when they have framed their Con stitution, and thesainobns received the unqualified ratification cf the people who arc to te affected thereby, a legal right to admission as a State; and it becomes the duty of Congress to admit them' &i a Sovereign Siatc, under the same rules and regula tions as were tha original thirteen State?. BaS in asmuch as the legislative power of the territories extends undeniably to all righful subjects cf legis lation, no power can prevent them from passing such laws upon the subject cf Slavery, as to them may Ktm proper, and whether such laws, when p.wed.be constitutional cr not, can be finally determined, not by Congress; but by the Supreme Court, on appeal from the decisions cf the territorial courts. Jietoh ed, That non-intervention by Congress with the subject of slavery, either in States, territories, or the district of Columbia, i3 a distinctive principle of the democratic creed; was the basis cf the Com promise measures of J Si 0; confirmed by both democ ratic and whig parties in national conventions ; and ratified by the people in '52; rightfully applied in the organization of Kansas and Nebraska in lS5t; re-affirmed at the National Convention in 1S56, and again ratified by the people in the triumphant elec tion of James Buchanan by the people, Hetolcei, That by virtue of the provisions cf the treaty of IS03 for the purchase of Louisiana, and by the previsions of the Federal Constitution, the in habitants of this territory have the risrht to demand admission into the Union, as of right, ai:d we aro in favor of such admission, as a bovercjgu Stat. with such boundaries as the peopb may prescribe, as toon ad possible, and we beiisvo that time has now arrived. llesulccd, That wa are unconditionally opposed to the ic-opccing of the African slave trade: that iU revival would not only renew those cruelties which once provoked the indignation of the civilized world but would entail a foul blot oa cur country's fair escutcheon. lietolced, That we arcs in favor of extending tho same equaJ rights and protection to t.11 American ci tizens, whether taturalizedor nativo born, and vho ther at home or abroad. llttoteedf That we are in favor cf an economical administration of tho genera! tmd local governments; of a liberal school fund, and cf a rigid accountability in all disbursements. lietolced, That we are in favor of a National Railroad to the Pacific, and cf iibe.al grants of lands for railroad and internal improvement purpose. lietolced, That the general government should immediately make appropriations to bridge the Platte and other rivers of the territory, and that any appropriations made to the territory should ba ap plied, as near as may be, to all parte cf it, cr for the benefit of all alike. llssolced, That the public lands should no longer be considered a source of federal revenue, but should be disposed cf with a view solely to develop the re sources of the country, and encourage emigration to the settlement of the new territories, nnd that we are in favor of granting a homestead of 160 acres of land by CongreF3 to actual settlers, subject only to such restrictions as will exclude speculators from the ben efits cf su:h acta. lietolced, That we aro irreconciliably opposed to tho incorporation of banks or of banking institutions or to the creation of an unlimited territorial or state debt. Which report was accepted and adopted, without a dissenting vote. BALLOTINGS FOR DELEGATE. Informal Ballot. George L. Miller Ben. P. Rankin John F. Kinney. . W.C.Fleming F. Ferguson Richard Brown W.

Estabrook being waited upon by a Committee appeared and briefly ad dressed the Convention as follows : Jr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention : Your committee have waited upon ms with tho information that you have made me the nominee cf this Convention. I feel that I would be more than mortal were I able to stand before you under the circumstances by which I find myself t urrounded and preserve my self possession. I acknowledge the honor with a grateful heart ; and if I can estimate the value of this henor by the character of those who have conferred it upon me, by tho elevated standing of those whose names have been before the Convention, and from the list of which mine has been selected, or from the very flattering allusion? to myself by the eloquent gentlemen who have ad dressed the Convention, I feel that it is one of which I have a right to be proud. As I intend to visit you all ia tho coming canvass and discuss the various issues presented, I shall not weary you with a speech now. I will congratulate myself, however,r.ud this Convention and the dem ocracy should be participants that the circumstances under which I have been nominated, are such as to absolve me from all special obligation to any parti cular locality. It is proper to say that in a contest which came- off in my own county, between myself and a neighbor, Mr. Miller, that my competitor was made the choice cf Douglas county, and my name having been presented by gentlemen from samo oth er locility, I am proud to acknowledge nmelf in debted for this honor, to the territory at large, rath er than to any particub section. There maybe some hesitation on the part cf my friends from Otoe to yield a full and hearty acqui escence in the result of this Convention. I have too much confidence in them to believe that this will be carried to their homes o: into the canvass. If it is, however, so as t o result in diminishing the vote of that county, and if lam, nevertheless, elected, I will heap coals of fire upon their heads by meting out to them equal and exact justice in the bestowal of offi cial favor and patronage.
