To Hie Voters of Xcnalia and
Jolnison Counties. '
We tare been solicited by numerous
friends to become a candidate for re-eiec--
tioo to- lbs Council branch of the Ne
braska Legislature. Evil disposed per
form," Who are not, nor have been our po
litical friends, at least charge that our
recentindependent course in political matter,-
is for the purpose of securing a re
election. To relieve the minds of both
classes mentioned, we take this method
of taring that we are not a candidate for
reflection, nor can we under any cir
cumstances, we can now imagine, be in
duced to become a candidate for any of
fice.." We' trust we fully appreciate the
partiality of the voters cf Nemaha and
Johnson, evinced by honoring us with a
seat jn the Council lor four . years past,
end .hereby tender our heartfelt thanks
to them. If "honor and profit" be the
object sought, in filling the position, we
have had sufficient for one man. If la
bor required, be the desideratum, we feel
. that we have done all that should be re
quired of one man, at least for the pre
ent;and besides, we are a believer in To
taticn in office' that no man has a life
' claim upon any one position among his
fellows.
Since our location in this county, as a
.journalist, we have devoted ourself al
most exclusively to the interests of the
public, and while so doing, have sadly ne
glected our own private affairs, which
now need our undivided attention, and
must have it, at least until we "catch
cp.' Again we thank our friends for
their solicitations in our behalf, and say
to those who arc- narrow., minded enough
to think us governed by personal consid
erations in our political course, don't over
exercise yourselves.
ed object is to open this Territory for the
introduction of Slavery therein. His op
ponent will be cf that class ; for none
others than Government officials those
holding office under Eachanan's Admin
istration are spoken cf -as candidates
for Delegate to Conrress. xI3ear-these
things in mind. We nre goicjta Vktcp
them before the people," and so far is
we are concerned, we intend to "face the
til is -
music, ana allow no uooging oi issues.
Come gentlemen, take upj-our slave code
policy, with which to force slavery upon
us; your bogus popular sovereignty, tha1
admits Governors to thwart the will of
the people through their representatives
in Legislature assembled, by vetoing a
bill to r.rohibit slaver)-; and the Secretary,
contrary to the expressed will cf the Leg
islature, controling the. printing of Laws
and Journals,- passed and published for the
benefit of the people ; the vetoeing of. a
National Homestead Bill, passed for the
people in Nebraska; Land Sales, and the
Buffalo and L'Eatu qui Court fra'uds. and
trot alone: with them. - These are the
little jokers" in the approaching can
vas, and must be ventilated. -This little
appropriation bill, which was not passed.
and never will be, until there is a change
of Administration, to replenish the de
pleted .treasury, is too insignificant to"alk
about.
We will take it upon ourself to say
that had Mr. Daily known we wanted an
appropriation at ' this place, Brownville
would not have been omitted in the Bill;
and further, that if our people will sig
nify to Mr. Daily their desire for an
appropriation for the purpose of construc
ting a Government Road from this point
west, that he will use all means in his
power to procure it for us. We know
that it is Mr. Daily's aim to faithfully
and impartially act as the Delegate for
Nebraska at large, arid not 'for ' any par
ticular section or locality. .
It Wont Win.
Within a few days past, the opponents
of Mr. Daily, in this place are busily en
. gaged endeavoring lofprejudice the minds
cf our citizens by charging, him with
partiality to other points, and neglecting
- ours, in framing the appropriation Bill
which he presented. Now this is all
bosh, and is only used for the purpose of
diverting attention from the true issuesin
the canvass.- We would be as much pleas
ed to secure aid for our point as any one
else possibly could be; but the fact is,
we have never expected, asked, or even
' talked of appropriations by General Gov
ernment for this point, and it is now sim
ply unadulterated nonsense to complain,
or find fault because we were not named
in the appropriation Bill referred to. If
we txpect anything, let us ask for it, be
fore, we, think of complaining. There
was not "an item in Mr. Daily's Bill but
. what was Tasked for; yea demanded, by
thoso immecfiately interested. It is a
lamentable .fact, of which tre have time
and again complained, that Brownville has
been derelict in her duty, m regard to
seeking and obtaining favors. . We could
mention, a number, of, valuable auxillia-
. ric.s .th&uhare J,passed us by," simply be-
cause wc made no effort to obtain them,
a"ndwhlch could have been secured viith
but' alight efforts' on our par'tv ."iAsk and
ye shall receive; seek and ye shall find ;
knock-and it ehall be cprred 'unto-you,"
is, as applicable in this day, as when first
- ottered, and equally co in politics as re
ligion.,. " 1 -
Again" we say such flimsy efforts are
only electioneering schemes to divert at
tention from the Jrue issues or questions
involved. Let the voters of Nemaha and
other counties in this Territory, keep
constantly in mind the outrages that have
beerr per pVtrated upon them by bringing
the public lands-into -market at a time,
. . and under ' circumstances which has ruin-t&nme-tehths
cf the Settlers, and that
, when hopelessly in debt, and struggling
to obtain homes for yourselves and fam
iiies; you asked at the hands cf Gener
al , Government, extension cf time and
reduction cf prices only, in the shape of
.a National Homestead;.. and that. when
joar.prayers were heeded by Congress m
-. the passage of a Bill, it was rrtW ly a
Democratic President! That when you,
; through your own Representatives in the
Legislature of your own Territory, by
power given you in the Organic Act, de
sired simply to prohibit slavery in Ne
braska, and a bill was passed to that cf.
feet, it 'was vetoed a Democratic Gov

thoe who oppose Mr. Daily 'are the sus
toners of a political ptmy wh-e avow.
Intelligent Legislation.
"Nebraska has got ahead of us all!
She has passed a code of laws worthy of
a young and" rising empire. An atten
tive correspondent sends us a leaf from
the statutes regulating the sale of intox
icating drinks, containing the' following
important provision: '
" 'For the violation of the third section
nf an act to license and regulate the sale
of malt, spiritous and vinoualiquors, S25,
and on proof of the violation of said sec
tion, or any part thereof, the justice shall
render judgment forJhe whole amount of
costs, and te commuted to i.ie commonjau
until the sum is paid.11
"Now this is admirable 'the Justice
shall render judgment for the whole a
mount of fine and costs, and be commit
ted to the common jail until the sum is
paid !' Oh that we had such a law in the
City, of New York ! What a capital plan
it would be to clap the Justices into Jail,
and keep them there till the rogues were
punished. ' We have the 'leaf from Ne
braska, and will cheerfully lend it to the
Common Council." - Harper's JJonthly
Magazine.
We have examined the manuscript of
that law, on file in the Secretary's office,
and are compelled to admit that Harper's
correspondent has not exagerated. The
bill was introduced by R. W. Furnas, a
Republican, and the clause quoted above,
tacked on as an amendment, by Hon. H.
B. Taylor, a prominent candidate in the
Republican party for Congress, from this
Territory, and reported to the House, by
S. G. Daily, present Republican delegate
in Congress. What a commentary on the
intelligence of Republican law makers.
Omaha JS'ebraskian.
- Of course every "intelligent" reader
understands the matter above referred to,
to be either a, chirographical -or typo
graphical error- the words "the offen
der," omitted, between the words and,"
and "be" and some wag, disposed to
have a "little fun" overij, sent it to Har
per's Magazine. As the Ji'ebraskian,
however, is disposed to lug it into Ne
braska politics,' we propose to "rebut."
Who does not recollect that at the first
Session of the Nebraska Legislature when
that body was nearly unanimously Dem
ocratic, "A Bill concerning Stallions run
ning at large," passed both branches of
the Legislature, and was signed by the
Democratic Governor, ' which provided
"that any Stallion found running at large,
may be taken up, and the owner thereof
castrated " The act as it now stands on
our statute books, imposes a fine upon
the vowner," if "allowed to run at
large."
"Sec. 1. Be it enacted, $?.. That no
Stallion, mare or ass, over the age of two
years shall be allowed to run at large;
and the owner of such animal, found run
ning at laree, shall be liable to a fine of
fve dollars for thefrst cjfenseiand ten dol
lars Jor any svbseqent offense, to be re
covered by an action of debt before any
Justice of the Peace in the County."
44 What a commentary on "tne intelli
gence of Democratic law makers," if we
may be allowed to quote the Jfebraskian'
exclamation, with a "slight variation. "
A Strong Speller.
The Cleveland Plaindealer says: "Joe
Lane in bis manuscript, begins hi own

-ritcii in."
We are around now, taking subscrip
tions, doing job work and advertising,
payable when Sam'l G. Daxlt is re
elected Delegate to Congress from Ne- j
braska. We will also take good notes
for outstanding accounts, on the same
conditions. Now, come along; we'll give
you a "ahow for your white alley."
We are also "spflin" to take a few
little bets, just to make it interesting; say
The Ablest Paper.
"The Brownville Advertiser, by far the
ablest Democratic paper in this Territo
ry, was the first to hoist the Douglas and
Johnson ticket to its roast head. Now,
he wever it hauls it dowcsand in a thorough
sound article, gives its reasons why all
tha friends of popular sovereignty should
support Lincoln and Hamlin. We shall
endeavor,' next'week to find tooo for the
whole article." Omaha Republican.
The first sentence in the above is a good
joke on the other Democratic papers in
the critical acumen of the writer of the
above ? paragraph. ' The Republican is
great on criticism ; it declared but a tew
months ago" that Elder Monell was the
"brightest- scholar in the Territory ,J? Jt
also sadilast Winter, that we were" Edir
tor of the "ablest Democratic paper inibe
Territory,1 "which" we 'fear we hall be
compelled (reluctantly) to admit was in
tended for a joke.
Letihe Republican by all means publish
the - entire . article, for then its readers
will sec how ridiculous the Republican has
made itself in the above paragraph, and
also how contemptible the 2dvtrtiser.is
looked upon by all: sensible and right
thinking : people. '. ...
Of course not a word was said in the
article about the -Republicans occupying
popular sovereignty grounds; Furnas is not
such a fool as that. The only possible
reason the Advertiser pretended to give
for its desertion of Douglas was its mis
taken notion that he could not be elected.
Thinking that Lincoln was the stronger
man,: and could be elected, the Adverti
ser espoused his cause. This may be a
ffood excuse for a man that is alter a
Land Office. at Brownville. but we sub
rait that the masses who love principle
and regard it as dearer and more sacred
than a mere temporary success, will not
regard it as a good excuse - for deserting
Mr. Douglas. Perhaps the Republican Is
delighted to defend loose morality of this
character. We are not. Nebraska City
News.
We are sorry our amiable, good na
tured and very sensitive friend Riymolps
feels hurt at what the Republican says of
the Advertiser.- Webstek, wont you "take
part of that back," and refrain from pub
lishing the 'entire article ?' We will feel
so bad when "looked upon by all sensi
ble and right thinking people." as "con
temptible.". Seriously: We are free to say that the
Republicans in Nebraska come much near
er occupying popular sovereignty grounds,
when it comes, to the practical demon
stiation of that doctrine, than do the De
mocracy. The Democratic party in 1854
when the Kansas Nebraska Act was
passed, told the people that it was the
"true intent and meaning," of the act
that the whole question of slavery was
left entirely with the Territories while in
a Territorial capacity; to do with it as
they pleased either to prohibit or es
tablish. . . . , f . . . . ..
Tbey incorporated the Act into, the
Cincinnati platform in 1856, "as embody
ing the only sound and safe solution of
the slavery question." All their speakers
and writers during the last Presidential
campaign, preached the same doctrine and
gave the .same interpretation, . without
which James Buchanan could never have
been elected ! Buchanan, in his inaugu
ral congratulated the country upon the
"final settlement of the question ," that
it "was banished from the halls of Con
gress ; was no longer a national issue ; but
was transferred to local boundaries to be
settled by those, and those only, direci!y
interested, as lest suited them." But the
very first time an opportunity presented
itself to practicably demonstrate this doc
trine of popular sovereignty in Kansas
and Nebraska the very Territories for
which this act was made the Democrat
ic party repudiated the whole thing. Bills
were passed in the Legislatures of both
Territories, simply to prohibit not a
word said about abolishing slavery there
in: they were in both instances vetoed by
Democratic Governors, who themselves
had been loud and long advocates of pop
ular sovereignty ! In the Legislature of
Nebraska, every Republican member of
both branches, was 'willing to take the
Pc palar Sovereignty given in the Organic
Act, and use it . to prohibit slavery ; they
all voted for the prohibitory Bill. How
was it with the Democracy ? Very few
voted for the Bill, and they were read out
of the party. Mr. Reynolds, Editor of
the Netc5, ; he who wrote the above ar
ticle, was himself a member of the lower
House, last Session, when the Bill to
prohibt Slavery in Nebraska, was before
that body, and voted against the bill, and
now, he has the cool effrontery to prate
about being an advocate of Popular Sov
ereignty in the Territories f Away with
such hypocracy.
We will inform the Neic that the Re
publicans of Nebraska, together with
others, opposed to the Democracy of this
day, propose to take the Organic Act of
Nebraska as an authority by which to pro
hibit slavery in this Territory. They
will not be content until such a bill is pas
sed; or else we mistake our guess very
much. We expect( to.have sufficient
strength in the next Legislature to pass
such a Bill over the Governor's veto -Then
let the question go before the Su
preme Court of the United States, for a
decision, if any are anxious to have it
tested, and all good citizens will abide
by the decision when made.

It is understood that the following ques
tion is being propounded to Breckinridge
candidates in the Sooth: "Are you for
resisting, by force, the inauguration of
of Lincoln should he be elected Presi

them, like a hard blow on the bread-basket.

Last year eld Buck promised the Sec

Treasury was calculating on 84,000,000

The Nebraska : City correspondent of
of the St. Joseph Daily Gazette, in speak

says: "Maj. W. W. Dennison is the
prominent candidate" for Delegate, and
"will be the leader of the party in the
forthcoming battle," and further adds,
".The following paragraph from the New

at Letter. .
: The last Nebraskian contains a letter
said lobe from Cap;. Craig of St. Jo
seph, in which Mr. Daily is charged with
defeating the' appropriation Bill for this
Territory; defeating the Railroad bill,
and .controlling both' branches of Con
gress generally. : The fact of the letter
appearing in the Nebraskian is sufficient
cause to call in question its genuineness.
Those acquainted with the manner ia
which, that paper conducts itself, receive
what it has to say with a great deal of
allowance. k
If the letter is genuine and Mr. Daily
did defeat the Appropriation Bill, and
Railroad Bill, he has snown himself pos
sessed of more influence in Congress than
any one man erer did before, and is there
fore the most1 efficient man Nebraska
can send as Delegate.' The idea, how
eTer, of a Delegate for a Territory, with
no vote or roice, and but precious little
influence because thereof controlling all
the balance of Congress, defeating this and
that bill, is simply preposterous in the ex
treme! and Captain Ciaig nor no otner
member of Congress will admit any such
thing. Look out ' for "Roorbacks" all
through this campaign. Good, old fash
ioned, honest electionering and voting
won't beat Daily." Nothing short of Buf
falo and L'eau qui Court frauds will er-
er deprive him eren of his certificate.

R. W. Fcknas:
'. Dear. Sir: Agreeable to
promise, I again write you. To use
Michael's language, "I have been alive
ever since I "was born; but d -d sich a
country did I ever set me foot in before."
I cannot say that I am disappointed in
this country; the climate, however is
quite changeabe indeed ; it ,can snow,
rain, hail, sunshiue and freeze, all in the
same hour. It has frozen every night
since I have been in the mountains ; sum
mer clothing is nottherefore, much in
demand.
In regard to the gold prospects, which
I presume you desire most, to hear of, I
can only say that I am satisfied there is
plenty of gold here, but it takes hard
work to get it, that is sure. I have seen
considerable taken out , and taken out
some myself, and expect to take out more.
I herewith send you a sample taken from
my claim.1 The country is not half -prospected
yet. I feel confident that in ano
ther year, more valuable discoveries will
be made. Most of the claims here, that
have been worked to any extent, already
pay well ; but they are mostly bank claims
and we do not expect them' to pay big, al
though a few are doing so. Mining here
is like farming in Nebraska, it takes one
season to get under way; a man cannot
in either, open up and make much the
same season. Those who came here last
season and stuck to their business, are
making money. . There are not, on the
Blue River, ever one hundred claims that
have been thoroughly tested. The river
claims have not yet been worked and can
not he for two weeks. ,'" .
A great many are leaving, crying hum
bug, who never stuck a pick in the ground,
and I am sorry to say some such are from
Brownville. There is no mistake a to
there being plenty of gold; to be had,
however, by hard knocks. I am bound
to have my share ; I did not come here
to turn around and go back immediately;
yet my advise to those at home, who are
getting along comfortably, is, stay there.
There will be nothing lost by waiting a-
while.T .' . ':.
I have not seen the Advertiser since I
left Brownville. Direct to Breckenridge,

friends. Yours truly

but no timber upon it. Tha country around it
being rapidly settled-up, its uearnes to a shipping
point, theexsellent roads la. every direction. the good
water upon it, its proximity to tha ticst body rd tim
