We have leen asked to give through .the columns of our paper answers to the following interrogatories. We know not ; wKy.they are propounded, a? we are not a candidate for any office, nor do we in tend to be. We-rnre perfectlywilling, however, at all times to communicate our tigws. 1st: "Do" you believe the Kansas Ne braska Acu..ive3ta.thc people of Ne ' braikaj' while ia a Territorialcapacity. through the Legislature, the power to ither prohibit or establish slavery? ."2dIf so, and were you satisfied that ,a majority of the people of Nebraska de " iired elarery established in the Territory ' would yoa vote for, or adrocate the pas "sage .of a Bill by the Legislature to that Jfiectr. - - r Jt.-We are no jurist, or even mem ber cf the legal fraternity ; but our indi vidual opinion is, taking a common sense View, that when the United States acquire Territory either by cession, purchase or cpixjtiei'trthat Congress possesses exclu sive power over that Territory, and is, in the "language ef the constitution, author ized to make all "needful regulations ," therefor, when occasion requires. When ever a portion of the people in the States desire to inhabit the new Territory, it is then the duty of Congress to make "need ful regulations. r ' The "needful regula--uoii" is to give them an Organic Act, de fining the boundaries of the Territory to be occupied, and the powers, duties and privileges of the occupants. The pow ers . Congress grants in the Organic !Act sjie cf course delegates, or rather releases. We take the "needful regula tions" by Congress in the shape cf an. Organic Act as the guide by which the powers and privileges of the people in a Territory are to be determined. Enter taining these views we can but believe that the Kansas-Nebraska bill confers upon the people through their legally elected-Representatives, while in a Territo rial capacity, the right to either prohibit er establish slavery. We base our opin ion upon the following clause in the 14th section of the Organic Act: . . t . . That the constitution end all the la-rs of the United States, which are not lo cally inapplicable, shall have the same 'fore and effect within the said Territory of' Nebraska, as elsewhere in the United States, except the ' eighth section of the ct-preparaiory to the admission of Mis jsouriinto the Union, approved March ixth, eighteen hundred and twenty, which being inconsistent with the princi jle of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the States and Territories, as recognized by the legislation of eighteen Trunr'rcd and fifty, " commonly called the Compromise measures, is hereby declar- ' cd inoperative and void, it being the true mtenl and meaning of this act not to leg - lsiate slavery, jiuo any lerntory, or state nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof, perfectly free toform and regulate their institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitu tion cf tLc United States: Provided, that ' nothing- herein contained shall be socon itmed as to revive orjputin force any law or regulation which may have existed pnor.to the act of sixth of March eigh teen hundred and twenty, either protec- m .ling establishing, prohibiting, cr abol- " jr.g slavery.' . - If it Joes not eenfer stch power it pre tends to, and we might enlarge by quot ing from the speeches made ly every advocate of tho passage of the Bill in which they, in language not to be misun derstood, saif.it did. ' 2nd. To this interrogatory, we answer ' . , unequivocally NO. We believe slavery .tr be morally, socially, politically and commercially wrong. Thus believing, we would never, knowingly, either directly, cr indirectly, utter a word, indite a sen tence, or do an act calculated to extend ihe institution over another inch cf cur . .rational domain. While we would be willing to concede: the right, unler the fOrgtnic. Act, of a;. majority of the peo ple to cstabliih, we would be found with 'the -'-minority to -prohibit even though 'we stood alone." "; Were we a member of the Legislature, and a bill to establish slavery was pending, and we satisfied be yond a'doub't, that' the consiituency 'who .lent us, .dtiired Us .passage, we would rckign ; bat vote-f or it under anr -circum-n ...

Neighbor Reynolds of the Nines per sists in asserting that we have forsaken the principle cf "Popular Sovereignty," and became a convert to the doctrine of "Intervention." Nothing can be farther from the truth. We are now, as we have ever been, and always expect'lo be a firm and unwavering believer in the principle j stand us-. We intended our article sim We are sorry to understand that a few persons, who we can but think are over sensitive, construe our remarks jn reply to the Nelraskian's squib in regard to in telligent Legislation" as applying to tho whole Democratic party.' We meant no such thing, and are atV lost tbknow how any "intelligent" reader' could so vinder- of true "popular sovereignly," and when occasion required, we have acted upen that principle consistently witliour advo cacy cf it. We do not, however, sub scribe to the bogus 'Popular Sovereignty' of the Jtttt-wLirh is only taught for gul ling purposes, and never practiced. The Republicans in this Territory are thenly party which hare shown by their acts that they are the true friends of the "popular sovereignty" said to have been given the people of Nebraska, in the Or ganic Act. Hence we ' act with them in that matter, aud consider them the only party with which consistent believers and advocates of that principle can act in this Territory. The Democratic party have been very loud in preaching "Popular Sovereignty," but in no single instance have they practiced it. "We are sorry to see such a display of temper in Rotten Robert. Considering our former amicable relations, we are con strained to say in the language of the the poet, "Alas how light a cause may mere Dissentions between heart3 that love." Xtbratlian. We do not know what Robertson means by "amicable relations" and "hearts that love," existing between him and ourself, especially of late years. If he think that because, when we have met him, we have-treated him civilly, we entertained any very exhalted opinion of him, in any respect whatever, he is very much mis taken: Should the mangiest sheep kill ing cur in the land come crawling at our feet, and imploringly wag his tail, we could not refrain? from piltifally pat ting him on the head, and evincing some manifestation of sorrow that the unfor tunate cuss had become so degraded. It is true that years ago, when we first formed the acquintance of Robertson, at the earnest solicitation of the fellow's father, we gave him our vote for the of fice of assistant clerk, in the branch of the Legislature of which we were a mem ber, and during that and subsequent ses sions rendered him numerous acts of kind ness, for all of which he repays us by ma liciously traducing our private character, simply because we refused to support his owner, Bird B. Chapman, for Congress. i A clergyman, named Tipton is receiv ing much eclat from the Republicans in the Southern part of the Territory, by preaching abolition sermons. Any cler gyman who meddles with politics in the pulpit, deserves to be kicked out of his church, and out of society deserves to go to the hell he so eloquently pictures out fcr siuLcrs. And, if he do. s not finally go there, where is the necessity for having either hell or the devil ? Nc br a ski an. Here is another instance of the des picably mean and cowardly course of the rery dirty plug who disgraces the editorial department of the Omaha iscbraskian. Mr. Tipto is a refined, high-toned gen tleman, between' whom and Robertson, heretofore, there has been no dispute ; no acquaintance ; "Mr. T. not even hav ing poluted his lips by permitting the name of Robertson to escape therefrom ; nothing more than a difference of politi cal opinions existing between them, and yet this is the style f the Jfebrasli fan's notice of him. We are sorry our friend Reynolds, who heretofore has been quite gentlemanly in his deportment to those with whom he differed ; and whose moral professions gave reason to expect a continuation of the same, so far forgets himself, in speak ing of Mr. Tipton, as to class him with "shoulder hitters," by using such expres sions as "Tipton slasher," and sneaking ly put forth unfavorable insinuations as to Mr. Ts moral character by publish ing such paragraphs as the following: "By the way this Tipicn used to be a great temperance fanatic. He has given up that hobby and is now stumping the Territory with Daily ! If he don't tarn out a capital billiard player it won't be from want cf associations leading that way." in regard to ministers mixing in politi cal affairs we have only to. say, if politics have become so awfully corrupt that to meddle with them consigns any man to the "Hell, so elegantly pictured for sin ners," then in HeaTen's name we say let every man, who loves his country and his God, whether minister, lawyer, or, docter, go to work with all the zeal and energy he possessei, to bring about a ref ormation. A complaint in regard to Clergymen mixing in politics comes with a very bad grace from Democrats in this Territory, who were the first to inaugurate the prac tice, ly importing the famous Henry Ct..iYr Deas to assist in stumpicg last "year. " ' .Perhaps, however," these "only two pa pers in Nebraska," have received'orders from their owners JVashingtcn to crush cut in this Territory all who dare rai3 a voice against the present infamously cor rupt and degraded administration. If such be their intention, allow us to say that in getting after" Mr. Tipton, they "wake up the wrcng passenger!" Gov. W. A. Richardson has been nom inated by tho Domccratie Conrcntion of! his District a candidate for Cngres?v ply as an "offset," to the JVebraskian's. If there be any so wofully ignorant eith er willfully or naturally, as not to be able to understand common language, we ought not to be' held accountable 'for that.

A most melancholy and distressing ac cident, by which two beautiful and accom plished young ladies of this city the Misses Ursula, and Nannie, daughters of Dr. T. B. Harris, druggist, of this city and their oncle, Mr. Grant Harris of Charles county Maryland, were drown ed in the Potomac River, near Cedar Point, occurred Fiiday, July, 13ih. The particulars of this distressing affair are as follows : A few weeks ago the Misses Harris, accompanied by their brother, Morgan Harris, left Cincinnati, on a vis it to some friends in Maryland, and at the time of the accident were staying at the residence of their uncle, Mr. Grant Harris, residing in Charles county, near the bank of the Potomac river. A short time previous to the visit of his relatives, he had purchased in Baltimore a handsome sail-boat, which he kept for the amuse ment of himself and friends. Friday morning, July, 13th, between nine and ten o'clock, he proposed a sail on the riv er, and accordingly embarked with his nephew, Morgan Harris, and his nieces. Grant Harris, who is said to be very skill ful in the management of his yacht, ven tured out to the distance of nearly a half mile from the shore, to where the water is above forty feet deep, and runs rather wild and treacherous. The ladies be came alarmed, and Grant Harris laugh ingly reproved them. Finally the yacht slipped some water, at the sight of which the ladies rose up, unsettling the boat, and, a gale striking her, she was cap sized. Grant Harris, clung to his niece Ursula, ivhile Morgan Harris grasped his sister Nannie, -and all struggled to regain the boat. After going down once Ursula, who was rather athletic, relaxed her hold on Grant Harris and sank. She was soon followed by Grant and Nannie. Morgan Harris aloue remaining above the voracious waters. He clongto the boat and was rescued. by friends from the shore, who were witnesses cf the ter rible scene. His escape is said to have been almost miraculous, and a dispatch received in this city July 18th says it is thought he cannot survive. The bodies cf the drowned hare not been recovered. ; Cin.

Dr. Monell then called, up bis report from the Committee on Platform and Resolutions It was is follows: 1. Itetolced. That we heartily endorso the nomi nations of Abraham Lincoln for President and Han nibal Hamlin for Vice President of the United Statss and the Platform adopted by the Republican Conven tion at Chicago, May 15th, 1860, as embodying our political views on questions of National policy. 2 That we are in farurof the Homestead bill as introduced and passed by the Republicans of the House of Representatives at the last session of Con gress, giving to every actual settler one hundred and sixty acrec of land, that the Democrotio Sena in defeating this bill, and substituting one exelsd- ing foreigners and youug men from its bensflts, and demanding 62 1-2 cents an acre from all, proved themselves unfriendly to free labor and free Terri tories; that the Frcsaieat, in vetoing even the Sen ate bill, after the Republicans had accepted it lis Deticr tnan none, provea tnat tne Democratic party in all its actions, is opposed to such a Homestead bill as every free laborer demands. 3'Thatall needful appropriations be urged with out delay, and without regard to locality or tho as- ccnacncy oi timer political party ; and tnat any ap propriations should be protected by such lezal safe guards, that said money cannot bo applied to any !.- 1 :.: i r .. L! iV. luaiu mc icgiuiuuie purpose ior wnicn it was appro priated 4. That the practice of the present Administra tion in appointing to office in the Territory persor s who have bad no previous residence or interest here and especially in disposing of Territorial offices as a reward lor treacnery to the cause of freedom, merits Cur strongest condemnation, as being detrimental to the moral, social and political interest of the pec plc. 7. That the delegate ought to use all influence ia bis power to obtain appropriations from the Gener al Government to bridge the Platte river at the most fea:ible.point;n the direct line of travel betweea Nebraska City and Omaha. 8. That it is the wish of the people of Nebraske, that the Delegate of Congress from shis Territory Fhall procure the passage ot a law ceding by the U. S. to the Territory of Nebraska, and the States to be made therefrom, the Swamp Lands lying withia the borders of said Territory, upon the same terms and con litions as such lands were ceded to Iowa and other States. 9. That the increased population of the mining regions and the immense travel in consequence, passing up the valley of the Platte, is a new and unanswerable argument in favor of the great Cen tral Routefor a Railroad to the Pacific, as advocat ed by the Republicans and opposed by the Democrat ic party. 10. That our delegate be requested to obtain if possible, the passage ef an act of Congress giving to the Commissioner of Common Schools of Nebraska the possession of School Lands within her borders, with the right to lease the same, and that the reve nue arising therefrom go to the school fond of the Territory, to be expended according to law fcr ed ucational purposes. 11. That the action of the Republican members of the Legislative Assembly prohibiting slavery in Ne hfaska, was demanded by the continued attempt of slavery propagandists to establish the institution in this free Territory, and deserves the unqualified approval of the Republican party; and the action of oe Democra.ic Govenor in vetoing the same, do serve; our strongest condemnation.
