It. WVI'OJIINAS, EDITOR. THURSDAY MORNING, SEFlC 8, 1859. ;; . me Delegate Question. .Since "our. ahniuiicerfieut last week of a delermiriatien to advocate the particular interest cf Southern Nebraska, as we have always don.e; and always intend to "do, tratrl she gets what is equitably due her; there has been, as we prophesied, some feeling -manifested amon g those who are disposed to.;.copfonn totrict.. party- dis cipline, under any and every circumstance. We can bu( think a few over zealous onesVvince far . more inconsistency in thnrTOTrserthaTriheychargeus'with". The very men who hare.heretofcre almost fallen out with us because we were not as ultra, or zealous in the defence, or pro tection of the interests of ourownsectien of country, as they professed- to be, are now down on us "very heavy1) because we are doing just what they have always con tended was our duty to do. The Advertiser1' was established as a local paper; to serve local interests ; re ceives only a local support, and we can't see how reasonable, . reflecting men can expect us through its columns to pursue any other course than one of a local nature. We feel that to do differently would be an exercise cf bad faith towards those upon whom we depend for a support. We have been studiously careful in the management of. our paper to give-offence politically to nVohe. " We have our political notions as w.ell as others; and when the proper time or occasion .preseuts itself ; when there are tangible, practical, living issues, we avail ourself of the invaluable right of the freedom of suffrage with as much zeal as; the most of our fellow citizens. We are not, however, among that class of men who are slaves lo party drill; and all-their exercise of the right of suffrage, keep arTeye upon the whip of the political driver ; whose every thought must be that of a political master, and every act the echo of his decree. Under such a regime there is no room for man liness ; for anything but the most degrad ing servility ! There , is no reason for this subserviency to party drill, "at all times and in all places." We are willing lo admit that party discipline is right when properly maintained, and used in the demonstration of great, living, vital and fundamental principles. But to attempt to run it through all the ramifications of society, impairs patriotism in the public mind, and contributes' to swell the torrent of political depravity, which in this country, . day,andager needs rather to be checked, than aided ty additional impetus ; it cor rupts the hearts ; degrades the motives, raid undermines the principles, integrity and fidelity of office holders. . Party dis cipline may cost too much more than political frecdovi I . We . are not among those who think this government one of a party; we believe it to be a government for the 'people oursroremmcnt. In short fpr we find, in giving vent to cur feel ings under the charge of a lack of good faith in politics, we. are digressing we nr0 nmrnr" thns who believfi that the whole value of the right of suffrage de pends uron its freedom. Unless there is freedom in the use of this privilege, secured by. the blood of our forefathers, . the . whole process is a farce, and the people mere puppets without choice or in dependence ia any of their acts. In regard to our course ; we are not going to "fret," or allow ourself to be worked up above "fever heat," because a few men who are in the habit of allowing their zeal to get the better of their judg ment "every now and then," see fit to pull off their hats, coats, pants and boots, roll up their sleeves and and "go in" to us. Some men are thus constituted and can't help themselves. But they are most generally men with "great, big, good Viari Anil vf nm nlwitvs mnrp ?r- clincd to make merry over their extrava gances, than to get out of humor ; and ad vise them to "keeD on vour cotton rar- . 1 rf o .. . .

The real fact is, only party pride is gratified ; great aci important interests are lost sight of ; and a vast am sunt of wool is pulled over 'seme pecples eyes As to the Democratic and Republican parties in Nebraska; the lines drawn upon living issues we have not a doubt but that they stand about as three Democrats to ivco Republicans. 114 93 24 6 What arc wc to Expect or a Dele gate In Congress. iC A Voters of Nebraska in exercising the right of suffrage in regard to Delegate in Congress should ask themselves before voting: "What are We to expect at the hands of a Delegate?'7 "What can he accomplish?" and "Who can best succeed in securing favors?" In the first place, there is a great and vital matter fa the Territory at large to be accomplished, viz: the admission of Nebraska as: a State. This the mass of the people in Nebraska regardless cf political affinities, consider cf importance. With admission will come all other favors of a general nature de sired, or needed by the Territory at large; the grants of lands for educational, in ternal and all other improvements and advancements. Their .distribution thro' out the Territory will be a matter of Legislative action hereafter. This is what we all want. The two candidates for Delegate, we will concede are equal as to instructions and personal desires in re gard to this question. The only point then for us to consider is which can most successfully accomplish this matter. Two years ago during the canvass for Delegate we, with many others, advocated the policy of sending a Deleirate who was in com munion with the working power in Con gress. Shrewd men of all parties admitted the correctness of that policy and acted ac cordingly. Now we advocate the same policy, for the same reasons. The next House of Representatives in Congress will stand about as follows : . Republicans. - - -Democrats - - -. Americans - -Opposition Democrats With this state of affairs, which ncne will deny, what should be our policy ? Politically, the Delegate has no office to perform in Washington, one way or the other ; can accomplish, nor lose nothing. A Territory occupies quite a different po sition from that of a Congressional Dis trict in the old States ; and the Dehgate a very different one from that of a mem ber of Congress. The Delegate goes simply as the agent, or mouthpiece of the Territory to ask, the daily food as it were, for the Territory ; that upon which it sub sists, and without which it cannot survive. Is it not important, therefore, that the agent should be on favorable terms with the power of whom aid is solicited, especially when party lines are drawn as rieidlv as at Washington ? This is one picture with both sides exhibited. There is yet other matter: and in speaking of it we do not wish to be con sidered as desirous of probing "old sores." We only submit the matter as it actually exists, and ask consideration . and de cision with an eye to equal and exact justice. The" City of Omaha has - thus far been fortunate enough to get the benefit of nearly or quite all, either directly or indirectly, of the appropriations hereto fore made to the Territory! 50,000 was appropriated by the general govern ment for the purpose of erecting a capi tol building. This ; sum was spent and could "scarcely be seen," owing to the fact of the building being commenced on too magnificent scale. Failing to get further appropriations from the general govern ment, the City of Omaha, with her usual liberality, but without orders from any authority, went to work and spent 60,000 more upon the building, towards complet ing it ; and yet it is not finished by about 310,000. The City has been endeavor ing, and still wants to be re-imbursed and also have the building completed. To this, we here publicly say, we have no objec tions, at a proper time. But we claim that the bridging cf the Platte river and the completion of the government road from that point to the Kansas line, is of more im portance to the Territory at large, even; and an appropriation for which, should be first secured. If we fail to secure admis sion as a State these will be the tvyo im portant matters for the Delegate to look after. If we succeed in obtaining admis sion as a State, provisions for loth these objects 'in the "'shape of land grants will follow. We have shown, we think, cleaily to any unprejudiced and reflecting rr.irid, that Mr. Daily's, position is far hotter calculated to serve the Territory in the all important .matter of admission as a State, than that of. Gen. Estabboos. Man is prone to be governed to an extent at least,-. by, his interests, and none are disposed to censure therefore. This being the fact, and all prospects for success in obtaining congressional favors being equal, even; to which of these gentlemen now asking our suffrage can we most reason ably look to for favors that will "confer the greatest good upon the greatest num ber ?" And we ask too, in ail serious ness, are not these matters cf which we have spoken, of far more interest to the people, than party issi.es, even though there were real issues over which to battle. We submit this matter, in all candor, as some cf the .reasons prompting our action in the Delegate matter, and ask a careful, unbiased,- unprejudiced , consideration. Let the people have the facts and act with their eyes open, and we are at all times content with the result; cheerfully extending-to them,' what we claim for our self, the right to think, speak, act and vote for themselves. iion. W, II. Taylor, Gen. Estabrook ! 5 and D. L. McGary. "-" GeiC"EstI "brook delivered "an" "im promptu" speech in this city, on Monday Jast. The General was very mild, gentle manly and solicitiny in his manner; giving unmistakble evidence of a "strong desire to represent Nebraska in Congress." The General's announcement to speak was made by small posters bearing date 1857 some he had printed when he was a candidate two years ago, and which he has preserved carefully and now come "in good play." This certainly spoaks well for the General's economy ; a most important requisite to-be-sure in this age of extravagance! The General, also, had with him, and distributed a printed platform of his own addressed "to the voters of Nebraska Ter ritory," gotten up two years ago, and which he says "is still his." The second plank in the General's platform reads: "2. I am in favor of an appropria tion to build tbo Capitol, if removed, and to complete it, if it remains, and for a reimbursement of the individual or corporate funds that have becnj or miy be, employed in its construction' The General dodged this plank very handsomely by reading the first sentence, and then hastily pronounced that matter a "dead issue" and passed on. The General took occasion to step a side and give the "Advertiser" and its editor a "side dig," by charging us with being the. recipient of government patron age, &.c. We have, it is true, enjoyed a crum of Government patronage; but we never asked it as a partisan, and if it was beMowed as such we have never been aware cf it. We have a distinct recol lection, however, of having patronage voted us by a large majority of the Ne braska Legislature which patronage was refused us by the Secretary, and his action based upon the legal decision of the then Attorney General of the Territory, Ex perience Estabrook, who thus took grounds adverse to the Legislature's right to legis late even upon die paltry matter of pub lic printing a custom in practice by our Legislature from its organization, and in other Legislatures from "time im memorial," almost. As the General was magnanimous enough tc extend to us the credit of honesty in our position, we "cheerfully reciprocate" but must be per mitted to consider his decision poor "Pop ular Sovereignty." Hen. W. II. Taylor followed Gen. Estabrook, in a strong, argumentative, telling and able speech, which could not fail to have salutary effect upon unpre judiced, reflecting minds. Mr. Taylor is more than an ordinary speaker, and in this matter he has the "right side of the question." Our townsman, D. L. McGary, Esq.. next took , the . stand. This, Mc. says, was his maiden polical effort. It was Dan from beginning to end: a kind of a general "pitch in;" cutting, slashing, and carving, right and left ; regardless of who, how, or where he hit; nothing par ticular in view; "fur fun," a style of public speaking peculiar to himself ; a la Mason to some extent, only "not so much we think she can boast of no better men. With Mr. Luce, the candidate for Li brarian, we" have a, slight acquaintance, which has resulted very favorable im pressions, lie, isitt present the Private" Secretary of Secretary Morto.t, and h.is had charge of the Territorial Library, which he has .arranged most admirably. The Jftbraskian speaking cf these gentlemen says : "Robert CrJonpAN, Esq., the Candi date for Territorial Auditor, has discharg ed the duties of that office for the last year, we believe with fidelity and honesty. A better man for that office, Jives not in Nebraska. He is in every respect a thorough business man, and cne whose capability and integrity , have never teen called into question. W. Y.--r Wymax," our "candidate for Treasurer,. is perhaps more extensively known in the Territory than'Mr. Jordan. He has been Territorial Treasurer for several years, and ..having : discharged its not very arduous duties to the satisfac tion of the people, it would be unjust, he being an elderly gentleman with a large family to support; to throw him overboard now. From his experience with the Post Office in this city, we are satisfied that no effort can defeat him, and our only surprise is that the opposition should have had the timerity to nominate a man against him. It is his inevitable destiny to be elected. Aloxzo D. Luce,, the candidate for Librarian, is a young man, every way wsrthy the confidence and support of the people.. Our Territorial Library has been under his charge for the last eight months, and it is to him that we - are indebted for its present orderly arrangement." Marking Men! We understand a few persons here abouts in their zeal, have so far forgot themselves as to threaten to xlmarlc every man" who disagrees with them ! How foolish ; how unreasonable ; how little of the liberty of which we Americans boast ! all we have to say as to the application' of such threats towards ourself, is: that's not our style of. doing business; we have been taught to regard the right cf speech and action as sacred as life itself, and no man must deny us the exercise of that right.- But if forced to take a hand in the game of "marking" in conformity with the adage, "when in Rome do as the Romans do," we'll "follow suit" or "trump" every time ! Hereafter we are to have "Politi cal" Dry Good Stores, Clothing Stores, Shoe Stores, Bankers, Doctors, Saloons, Whisky, Lawyers, Newspapers, Churches, Preachers, Sabbath Schools. School Teach ers, School Books, Bibles, Prayer Meet ings, Friends, Relatives and Associates, if the silly recommendations made upon the streets are observed! Oh, fiddlesticks! From tlie 3Iines. We have been shown by Dr. Noel, of this place, a letter from his brother-in- Correspondencc from the Capital. Omaha, Aug. 30, 1S39. REPUBLICAN ratificatiox. Tuesday the- 2()th was the grand jolifl catiori day of the Itepublicaas of Onaha, as designated by or.ammotJi posters calling the faithful, the halt, Iliad andx sere of all opposing parties to meet them at the Western Exchange Bank, to interchange opinions and set forth the doctrines of all those who might have sere heads from anv and all causes whatsoever. .. ; ,,,, In this same poster appeared the names of vthr6e?rsons"ro'"address the meeting, who had formerly mader professions of democracy but proved by their own ac knowledgment that they never were dem ocrats in ' principle and we, know they never, .we re in practice,' nowithstanding their loud and earnest profession in con nection with and in behalf of the de mocracy. ' . ' ! Besides those : who were publicly an nounced to speak were others who taking umbrage at the course pursued by the ad ministration, although sound in principle as they had always declared, came for ward and before an intellegent audience eat their own assertions, and turned com plete -and perfect- political summersets, and then endeavored' to bull htad it into the crowd that they were he nest politicians. .We'glory in tbo independence of free speech in every man, and always take that liberty ourselves, but alwaj's look with contempt upon these who talk one way and act another at the sametinio. If gentlemen '.yish to be; Republicans who have heretofore adhered to other parties, let them honestly "com e "out and confess they have changed their opinions, and not stultify themselves by saying that they had baen partisans in practice and by loud professions, but never did believe the principles advocated by the party to which they belonged. The Chairman of the meeting was Judge Pease, and the speakers were Mr. Meridith, Col. Curtis, of Iowa, Gcii. Thayer, Collier, cf Burt county, Paddock, of Washington, Thomas Clark, S. Went worth, of the Republican, and .Marsh ; thoie italicised mad-i their maiden Repub lican speeches and as usual with all new converts, took extreme grounds and run into all the follies pertinent to that party, making assertions which they cannot prove. Kansas and the negro, was of course, the burden of their songs. In reference to the sixteen points uhich they pilfered from the democracy and in which the two parties mainly agree, they had considerable to say cenfermatory of the principles cf our party but endeavor ing at the same time to take all the credit and honor to themselves. It appears they have run nearly mad Public meeting. i -s Tt, rntPN t.t Divwaville rrccinct, Arc revested ' .,.... ,,- ', r ., . ."

The office of Territorial Auditor is at present more ir.portant to the Territory at large than any other to be filled at the coming election. Upon that office and officer mainly depends the financial con cerns of the . Territory, and, therefore, too much care cannot be exercised in selecting a man for that place. We are glad to say, from a long and personal ac quaintance with R. C. Johdan, Esq., the present incumbent and a candidate for re election, that he is 44just the man for the place." He his a most excellent account ant ; familiar with the most intricate book keeping : of perfectly upright and moral habits. He has had the office but a frac tional part or a term; m which time he has devoted a great deal of time and labor in putting things in shape, by open ing up a regular sett of books something never before done. -It is highly important we thii'k that Mr. Jordan be kept in thefiice of Auditor.- Mh. W'ymajt, the candidate for Treas-j urer, was the founder of the Omaha "Times," and has labored faithfully for the good of the Territory. He is the present incumbent and is well qualified for the position coming up to the stand ard "honest and capable.' As we stated last week, the law re quires both the Auditor and Treasurer to "reside at the Capitol." These gentleman are both residents at Omaha, and with all due dillerciice to other of her citizens, Popular Sovereignly. The public are aware that Judge Dong las has been for some time past preparing a detailed paper on "popular Sovereign ty." It has made its appearance first in Harper's Weekly, and is being copied all over the land. It is a great State raper, in which' the author has lost sight cf ; or laid aside ; or rather soared above party and entered into the defence of a great principle, peculiar to, and inherent in the the American heart. The St. Louis Re publican, of the 1st, in speaking of "Doug las' Exposition of Popular Sovreignty," says : 44 Our readers are new in possession of Mr. Douglas' views cf "Popular Sove reignty," embodied in a statement which has evidently been prepared with much care. It is a full and comprehensive ex position of the doctrine with which hii political career for the last few years is identified, and with which his name will be indissolubly connected. Our readers will agree with us in the opinion, that it is a logical and able argument ; that it treats the whole subject impartially, and from a lofty point of view, . and that it vindicates the claim set up for Mr. Doug las, that his course as a legislator in re ference to its subject matter has been guided by what he believes to be a cor rect interpretation of the Federal Con stitution. As explanatory of ' the theory of our form of Government, and of Ame rican Liberty, it is a valuable contribution to the political literature of the country. In this particular, it ranks, for the pro foundness, sagacity and clearness of its views, with the best expositions of that theory from the pens of the framers and ablest defenders of our Constitution. fter a paper so luminous and able as blaming him with hundreds of results over which he has neither care ncr con trol. All the mishaps cither State, National, or Territorial which have ever happened are with them sufficient data to let loose the dogs of war upon the Administration. They claim that all who are not particu larly friendly toward the course pursued by the Administration, Douglas men in cluded, are and should be naturally allied to the Republican party, and are really whining some persons into that belief. As to the course which should be pursued by true Douglasites there cannot be the least doubt, inasmuch as the principles held by parties diii'er as widely as light is from darkness. The Republicans both by their presses and speeches, acknowledge the Philadelphia platform to be the guide for their political action and government. That platform says "it is the duty of Con gress to exclude from the territories the curse of negro slavery," whilst the Douglas democracy hold that the slavery question should be left entirely to be settled by the local governments directly interested m the question, and not to be legislated upon by Congress in any shape or form and holding that the Constitution neither introduces into or excludes slavery from the. Territories. They are in favor of. non-intervention while the Opposition hold to direct intervention by Congress. The respective parties advocating those diametrically opposite sentiments upon the great leading question of the day certain ly can never consistently unite in favor of the same candidate for the position of Delegate to Congress. - . As to the great question of interest to all parties in the West both the Republi can and Democracy agree: such as the Homestead, Pacific railroad, Free Terri tory, Equalization between native and naturalized citizens, State government, freedom of speech, opposition to wrong doing from any source or power, ; CAITTOLIUM.
