DAILY, -OF NEMAHA COUNTY. . t The Conventions. ' ' Sirrce oar last issue the Democratic aid Republican Count' Conventions met, and ' nominated candidates for the Legislature . and one or two county officers. The pro . teedtnsof feachwill te found in to-day'a . paper. The men' whose names are pre ..rfcn!cdtarcr all 'good citizens and "neigh': bors, but disagreeing upon political mat- "'le'rs.' We consider there is but one "qiies '. tioa of .importance' presents itself, and "under present circumstances it is more important than it may at first appear to many who hare, perhaps, only viewed it in apolitical point of view. We refer to 'the settlement of the everlasting negro question. We believe it to be very im portant to the real interest of Nebraska .:ihat this matter be settled by an expres eion from our Legislature, even '.should that expression, be decided adversely by a higher tribunal, AsicJe from the po litical riews we 'with many others enter tain in regard to this matter, we know from personal observation, that there are .thousands in the States who are looking . .-to Nebraska for their future homes, but who are in the dark and wish light. .''"The past spring we made a flying trip ' through, portions of 'the States of Mis-.eori,- Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia . and Maryland, and we made it our special 'business to talk of Nebraska whenever nd wherever an opportunity, presented 'itself, and w-'ere surprised at being met, :nine times out of ten, with this objection 'to emigrating to our Territory at present. "Well," said our eastern friends, "when 'yoa definitely and permanently settle the slavery question in your Territory then we will think' more about going there. i We are not desirous of being participants in a second edition of Kansas trouble." Why, ve replied, nobody in Nebraska Ythinks seriously, otherwise than that Ter ritory will be a free State ; there are not a dozen slaves, in the whole Territory. 'Yes," said they, "but what is to hinder many. more, from coming? - You have passed no prohibitory law ; true your Leg islature passed a law, but it .was vetoed by your Governor, 'which is evidence to . 'us that there are two sides to the question .out there, and not all so one sided ai.you represent." :Now, we confess we were perfectly surprised to be met with such "objections," and .we acknowledge, there' is force in them. . . When we talk about what the fvture Slate shall-be, we nearly all agree. In the name of common sense 'why not say now what we are as a Terri tory, as .well as what we intend to be when we become a State. We contend it is not only our right so'to speak out : but our duty. ' "" ' , ' 'f And again : 'as there is a diversity of .opinion as . to the Constitutioaality of a prohibitory act, how, we enquire, is that matter to be decided unless it be acted 'upon,' and then, if any are desirous of testing, an appeal be taken to the proper tribunal ?.-..'. V We entertain no doubts whatever as to the sentiments of the people now, or fears as to what will .be their action in the .future;. yet we are in favor of an expres sion new, "to be seen and read by all "men." -Therefore, we are free to say, "our vote and whatever influence we may J possess,' will be given to such candidates . .for the Legislature, only, who we know rare in favor of and will vote for a prohibi : tory bill. Further than this we will not 'trouble ourself in the approaching county 'election. ,-. We. will in our next issue show con clusively, by the publication of undenia ble documents, that it is the object of the Buchanan-Breckinridge Democracy to .throw open all the Territories of the -United Slates for the introduction of . -slavery, and to re-open the African slave jt'rade. ' And ' further, that the so-called Democracy in this Territory, as at present organized and controlled, sympathise with ,nd indirectly sustains and supports that 'policy. We .vant those who are honest ; Douglas Dsfrapcaats to see where, they are .drifting, by acting with and sustaining the organization that presents the' name of .J. Sterling Morton as a candidate for fDelegte to Congress. ' : - EuSiilo County Frauds- .The Nebraska City wVeirs says we back 1 down from charges of frauds' in Buffalo Cocrr.ty, last year, We have done no such rthing. ; We said we jnade no charges pri- vately cr publicly against any individual. " We have however said, and we yet "say there is no doubt about there being frauds 'committed in that, county in favor of-General Eat tabrook and against Mr. - Daily. The fact of two or three hundred ' votes in one precinct all .being cast for any one man, ought of itself to convince acy.sane man that frauds had been com .milted.-.The evidence before the com ."taittce ia Congress was so-conclusive that "tven Southern Democrats rejorted in fa : rcr cf .Mr.: Daily, and voted for him; in i fact,' there was net a single rote given, in favor of General Estabrook retaining his seat! That looked very much like mem bers of all parties were iatisfied frauds had been committed. Fur the Leuefct of our readers we publish the testimony of Cn as. II. Comlv who was at Ft. Kearney in Buffalo coun ty on the day of election. Mr. Comly is well known to many citizen? cf this county. He is a sun cf Mr. Comly of the Journal, Dayton, Ohio. Our limited space' will tost allow us to give farther testimony furnished the com mittee. We presume thi3 i3 sufficient to satisfy almost anybody, "open for convic tion." -Charles !I.

After that I saw to o.'the same men voto again, andone of the two voted once afterwards. . Each tlmo thiy chogd their attire, but vcre poorly diguiaed. I fiirthtr noticed quito number of emigrants coming from and goin to Pike's Peak, vote; and among then were James Low, Siq.Len L. Inslee, and William Ilar Lin, all of wlio:n voted for Experience fcatabrook, and all were illegal votcr; they wero returning m comvany with me from lake's l'eak. I also saw a nuiube. of others voto for Experience LsUbrook ww,m I know had left Denver City, Kansas Territo ry, but a short time before I did. Ever emigrant that was passing or stopping thero that- day was iirl ta vote, and tho most of them did so. The regular order of voting was firtto viait the trading post known as "Jack's Kanche," take & drink of liquor and a ticket, then go across the road and vote: this programmo was filled by every one I saw vote. Darin ' the day, at intervals, I saw Dr. Hen ry Jackf the proprietor of the rancbe)anJ one of tho clurks in the store engaged in making out a list of names. After writing awhile one of. them would put the l'ut in bis pocket and go over to the' polls and go inside, and from conversations that I subse-nut-nrly beard between tha parties I im well eatis- fied in my own mini max me sua usis were copiea icto the noil-books and returned 03 voters. The re turns, if I remember right!y,gavc 2oS votes, all tor Experience Eitabr;ok. To the best of my knowl edge and belief I do not think there were over sixty different persons it or around the polls during the day. .About 6 o'olock p., m.the polls were declared cloitd, and tho ballot-buxea were deposited atJacks store. A short time after tho polls were closed two men -came in from llum o reek, I Lclieve, and de sired to vote: the ballot-boxea were again taken to the polls and tho ballots were recieved. I am satisfied in my own mind that one of the clerks wag under tweDty-one years of age, and . that another one of the clcrks( or probably one of the Judges ")was an unnaturalized foreigner. , This I learned through conversation with parties acqnaint ed with tuem. The Judges and clerks of the elect ion were in my opinion all under the influence of liquor and one or two of ihein wore drunk and unfit for an v kind of business. As an evidence of thi oneofthcm' I think br the name of Burke) signed his own name to one of the poll-books or returns mi. his wifo's pani3 to the other. ' Tho error was corrected the next day, the said Curko declaring that, "by God be wanted people to know that his wife had a finder in that election!" Of the mena round the polls during the day 1 do not think that more than onohalf of them were residents of tho coun'y or precinct, the balance being emigrants. . CilARLES 11. COMLY. : We. were further. informed by a Dem ocrat who was at Ft. Kearny at the time of the election, who -was in business there aiid ougbt to know how many votes there were in that region, that there was not twenty legal yoters within the boun daries of Buffalo county. We entertain no doubt Mr. JVcws, as to frauds having 'been committed in Buf falo County. WJlo committed them, is a question we presume will hereafter occu py a position along side lvith "who struck Billy Patterson?" "Will '.saltpeter ex plode?" &.c, &c.

Verily the old adage of Lotharius is true " Tempora mutantur, not et mvtamur in illis" "Times change'and we change with them." ' Silas A.Strickland can make a No. 1 rpecch, if he has the right . . t side of a question; ami besiae, ne is pos sessed of more talent.'in one , hour than J.

But, Silas, we did not expect ou to "speak on this occasion," and there- . r fore will not throw stones at you. xou went into the Convention and was kilt, and as a law abiding man, you have, of course, get to support the nominee.' We reckon, however, it is a terrible bitter pill, and that you tnnk"ulzd words." very often. After the speaking tnat evening nve persons who were before for Morton came out in favor of Daily ! "DoJ drab him! Let him come again!. Strickland and Goss at DrownTille. Hon. Silas A. Strickland and J. Q. Goss, Esq., both of Bellevue, addressed the people at' this place, on Monday eve ning last. We have not spaee to review their speeches in detail. Suffice it to say "nobody was hurt." Mr. Goss lead off in along speech re ferring almost entirely to national poli tics. His style was gentlemanly, but the subjects poorly handled. For instance he undertook to show that . the Republican party were pro-slavery! "Perhaps" that's so, and "Perhaps" net. Silas followed to "make a noise," and have the "fellers holler." By his par ticular reouest there were no ladies pres- ent. Had they been on h; been "op a tree, speech consisted almost exclusively of very smutty anecdotes. Any one could see he felt that he was on the "wrong track." TTr undertook to support men and meas- ures against whom and which he has al ways battled. Ia 50 doing his tongue very naturally faltered, his knees shook, his whole frame quivered as it were. It was decidedly rich to see and hear Strick land advocate the elevation of a man who but a short -.while ago he spoke of in Euch language as we copy below, while editor cf the Bellevue Gazettte.' No longer ago than in 1S5S, in speaking of Morton, he taid: We quote from the files before us. "lie has a great prototype in Benedict Arnold, whose exfunpl, in this instance, ho hat followed to the letter. Despise J by all his former, companions in arnn, detested by Lis present aociates,for they lore the treason and despise the traitor, )let his very namu be a "biasing and a bj-word'' throughout tho Territory." " You have talent, you have ability, you ealy lack honesty." Noticing Morton's appointment as the Secretary of the Territory, he said : ; W tliitk Uorton is reasonablo qualiSd to di -charge the duties of the position, as they are of a light nature, I t ;:ig not beyond those of an ordinary bookkeeper, exltpt iuciuoof the absence of, or a vacaacy, occurs in iheoffiee of Governor, when the Secretary discharges the duties of that oGl-o. We are pleased t know that trov.

A month or two afterwards he spoke ia this wise : BrownvIIIc cndOmaba Congratlat- In. - .

Hons- , '''.:'','; ., At the Breckinridge Democratic pre cinct . meeting held at .Nemaha -City on Saturday the 1st inst., the. following res olutions and preamble were "adopted by unanimous consent", and copies ordered to be furnished both the Herald and Ad vertiser. We failed to receive a copy for publication before the Convention. We copy, however, from the Herald, not on ly to advertise the .sentiments or princi ples contained, but for preservation as a literary puriositj. We always suppos ed "Jeemes Wolcott" was the author of the' famous' "Catamount Story," but we fear he "smcuged;" the peculiar style of writing from a man who wanted to beta certain house and lot on Morion's elec tion but didn't. These are "the largest, healthiest looking" preamble and reso lutions, "except their untimely death we ever saw lying before our office door, dead and weltering in its own blood," Whereas, There is in this Territory a party calling themselves Republicans, whose principles are tua ag itation of slavery and negro equality; ami. Whereas the whole aim of this came party is to break down the Demcracy of the Territory, Therefore, we the Democ racy of Nemaha City precinct, I eeliug it our duty to ex pose the misrepresentations of 'he so-called Republican leaders to the minds of al 1 thinking men, that they may gee the corruptness of the agitators by the followirs resolutions, the same lieinjs prlncip'.es of the great and glorious Democracy of the Territory. Resolved, 1st. Tnat we, the Democracy, are opposed to the agitation of the Slayery question, and will use ail honorati'.e nieaiu to suppress the same while we re main in a Territorial ciipacity. 2. That we are in favor, on being admitted ioto tie the Union of Slates of cuuiing into the name a free state. with the entire exclusion of all iiegrocs, either free or slave. 3d. That the charges of the Republican Party afainst the Democratic party of principles, pertaining to fraud aje false and gross misrepresentations, and are only heralded through their organs for political aggrandise ment, and to blind the eyes of voters who have no po litical jnratpjiis, 4th. That the attention of all men is called to the careful perusal of these resolutions, as they are within themselves facts and the same will be car rid" out by the Democratic party at all buzzards and regardless of the say of any individual or opposing party. . iA Sensible Man. y ,' Last week at the Democratic Precinct Meeting in Nemaha City, Mr. E. L. Grubb was nominated as Chairman, but he declined,' giving as his reason that he was a Douglas Democrat and had pretty much quit presiding oyer Buchanan Breck inridge meetings; or to that effect. Mr. Grubb we know to be an honest Douglas man, and 'we' glory in his independence. There are seyenty-fiveor'a hundred more such in this county, who, have be en gulled long enough, and do not intend longer to "bow the neck," to those .who have tram pled"' under , foot ' the principles of the fathers; 'are running after strange gods; have laid waste the. kingdom, and stoned the prophets.

In an swer permit me to 6ay that I feel now, as I have felt for the last eighteen months, that he Is nnworthy the confidence of the people and especially of the Democrat ic party. I, therefore, as a Democrat from principle, and having fce cause of Democracy at heart, and believ in that it would be desrading those time-honored prin ciplea to elect a man so void of principle, shall take gTeat pleasure in using whatever influence I may pos sess for his defeat. Ton may, thereore, make arrang. mcntfor nieto wort, in any manner tt ought tiesr for the accomplishment of this end from the 25th of Sep tember up to the day of the-election in the evening. I regret that I cannot return sooner ; b at circumstan ces over which I have no control compel me to be ab sent up to that time. I not only wish, but ardent lyde sire that yon may so arrange it so that I can be heard (should my life and health be spared) every day from the 25tl day of September until election. I em now just starting for Baltimore, and have not time to write further. If anything should happen that I cannot return at the time above indicated, I will send you a manuscript for publication, giving aay reasons why he should not be elected to the responsible position he aspires. Piease let me hear, from you immediately, at Balti more, as I will be there until the I2th of September, and then leave for Nashville, where I will stay three days, and then get home as quick as possible. "Vonr Oh't Servant, ' WILLIAM L. B0TDST0X. For the Advertiser. rolltlcal Papers No. 2. Fellov-Deinocrais of the Douglas u:ing : In my last, it will be remembered, 1 asserted that the Nebraska Democratic Platform "was "an ambiguous, bundled, internntic: platform ;" I there discussed part cf the "intervention ;". and, now to take it as it -comes let us see in how much it is "ambiguously bungled" : The second clause, in the first resolu tion, reads : And while we reecpnize the Constitutional rights Of all sectious of our common Union, and of all Democrats, to independence of pinion on local questions." Perhaps this was intended to be their 'Popular Sovereignty' in a 'nut shell.' They urecognize the Constitutional rights of ALL DEMOCRATS to independence of opinion on local questions." Douglas Democrats, arouse ye! Im mediately "should .ye circulate a petition for a day '(if "that, will suffice) of thanks giving, for this recognition of your "right" of "independence of opinion," by this most puisant and generous Convention! Oh! "When gratitude o'erflows the swelling heart, And breathes in free and uneorrupted praiae For benefits received propituou heaven Takes such acknowledgement as fragrant incense. And doubles all its blessingi.'.' . Then, rejoice, while ye may; for it seems the feint idea of a good deed done The Game of Bragg. ; Morton's friends throughout the Ter ritory, are playing the game of bragg beautifully. The ' only two papers in the Tenitory" are filled with extracts of letters, purporting to come from various portions of the Territory -but which in realiiy are written by the editors in their sanctums, or Morton's' friends in their own towns stating that Mr. Buchanan's Territorial Secretary, J. Sterling Morton, is carrying, everything before him. The bob-tailed speakers, and those hired by the day to canvass the Territory for Morton, come into Nemaha, and tell us that Cass county i3 sure for Morton ; they then go into Richardson and say to the" people there that Morton will carry Nemaha county ; and thus they go all over the Territory. While Daily and Morton were speaking in Omaha, on Monday last, dis patches were received here every few minutes, stating that Morton was actual ly devouring Daily. We began to think it the duty of Daily's friends to notify his family that they very likely would never ! see hinwif half that was con- again J. Sterling: Morton ba been nominated bj the Democrats of Nebraska for delegate to Congress., If bo is for Douglas and nobody else, for next 1'resi- ldent, we hope be will be elected. L not we hope ne will be defeated. (JUvland riawieiiur, Mr. Mortoa most heartily supports Douglas. Ye brash ian. Yes, in a horn. He is one of old Buck's officials ; one of the biggest toads in the puddle. He a Douglas supporter! There is unblushing impudence for you. A good name is more precious than gold. Xcb.

The jyebraskian must be exceedingly pushed to give vent to its snarling pro pensities when it steals one of Solomon's Proverbs and credits it to the Advertiser. There is another proverb by the same author that paper would do well to observe. "Add not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thon be found a liur." ; Clay Comity. . We are pleased to know that our old friend and ex-editor H. W. Parker, Esq., of Austin, Clay county, is on the track for Representative from the counties of Johnson, Clay and Gage.

' He was elected by the people's Repre sentatives in Legislature assembled, in accordance with right and-time honored custom, t Hedid'ut usurp power and steal the printing. ' Read the Telegraph Dispatches from Omaha, in regard to Morton "stock." made them ashamed of it, and we, Doug las Democrats, have hardly 'time to. think of enjoying ihis "independence of opinion" by voting against an "appointee" of the "a'rch-eiwny" of Stephen A. Douglas till they withdraw the privilege. .. The next section, of the same resolu tion, reads: ' We believe that the Northwext, which is fast becom ing the scat of Empire,-? is peculiarly entitled to tne fostering care of the Federal Government. , This is their belief,, or creed. Now, no one doubts that the "Northwest is fast becoming the seat of empire ;" but, that it is the "policy cf this Administration to extend over this "seat of Empire its "fostering care"- farther than its official exponents in this "seat" are concerned I. for one. doubt. Woo it ritt ftf ir5 lfn?fiTTn cr mrp'11 tn ! to use its "executive patronage" to force thaXeconlpton' Constitution on a portion of this "seat of Empire," and, finding it could not do that, to ."aid" the passage of the ''English Bill," which will keep the Territories, composing this "seat of Em pire," Nebraska particularly from as suming the position of a State, for at least five ' years, if not more. Was it part of its "fostering care" to bring on the Lund Sales for the benefit of its ."Land Shark" adherents, at the expea e of actual settlers, who had come, lived and labored here to make this "the seat o empire". Vas it part of its"foslering care to veto the "Homestead Bill," our Ter- ritoral Democrat Platform to the con trary, notwithstanding. And is it part o its "fostering care", now, to say that the "Territories have no sovereignty about them." and cannot legislate, either way. upon the question, but that slavery may fasten itself upon the Territories, and then; if, they form- free State Constitu tions, they must buy the slaves or have a slave State till they all die. Was it part of the "fostering care" of its "appointee' in this Territory to veto the bill prohibit 4ng slavery ; and, was it part of Morton's "fostering care" to do, what he had reviled Secretary Cumings for attempting to do to take the public printing out of the hands of the Legislature, and have it done in JVew York! Here is the last clause in the first reso lution : " Xegro Equality- The supporters of Morton are busily engaged in private, cn the stump, aiid through their "only two papers in Ne braska" asserting that his opponents are negro equality men, abolitionists, under ground railroad men, Sec. No cne, latter ly, has been mere earnestly engaged in disseminating these false reports than Reynolds, of the Nebraska City JVevs. He i3 a beautiful specimen of consistency ! Last winter, this same Reynolds who was then," and is yet the Editor of Mor ton's paper, the Nebraska City Veirs was a member of the lower branch of the Nebraska Legislature ; and while the bill to prohibit slavery was under consid eration,' he offered the following, as an amendment thereto. See page 101 House Journal, 18-59 : "Mr. Reynolds of Otoe, moved to amenl as fol lows: uec. 2. Any black or mulatto person, or Indian, or any person of Negro or Indian blood, shall be per mitted togive evidence in favor or against any white person whatever: and hiscr her testimony tsha!l be entitled to theVame weight and credit in the courts of this Territory as that of any white person." Does it not sound well; and is it not beautiful consistency in this man Reynolds to now call Morton's opponents "woolly heads," "abolitionits," and charge them with being "negro equality men !" How some men can act the hypocrite ; be on this side to-day and that side to-morrow. There is a certain Morton man, not an hundred miles from Brownville, who is making himself very conspicuous telling falsehoods as to a certain candidate on the opposite ticket : that he is connected with the U. G. R., &c. Now, this man may not feel very comfortable to have it proven that his house was made the head quarters, in this region, of the infamous Jim Lane and his men during Kansas troubles; and further that he himself harbored stolen negroes, knowing them to be such.

Here they "do not recognize any DI VISION as existing in the Democratic Party of Nebraska ;" and, but a inomen since they "recognized the Constitutiona rights of ALL DEMOCRATS to inde pendence of opinion !" Is not this am biguous in the extreme ! It appears, from this section, that a 3 soon a3 we cease to recognize" J. Sterling Morton as Douglas Democrat, and their Platform as the embodiment of Popular Sovereign a lt , . I iy, uiey wiu cease to "recognize us as Democrats. It is my humble opinion, that were Stephen A. Douglas himself here, they wpuld cease to "recognize" him as they have his principles should he main tain, as he has and does, "that the SOLE OBJECT of the rejxal of the Missouri restriction WAS that the people of a Ter ritory might introduce or exclude slavery, through, their Territorial LEGISLA T, URE, while a Territory !" Is there a new Democratic party ? Have we a new test amonsr U3 ? If so, why do the friends of Mr. Morton claim that he is a Popular Sovereignty Democrat? Can he be so and stand pledged a3 he does ? This idea of a National Democratic party and a sectional Territorial Democratic party will nit stand the test. The Dem ocratic party in the States, that reaffirmed the Cincinnati Platform, and placed Judge Douglas upon it as a National man, is the only National party ; then, are Douglas Democrats in the Territories where the principle he is defending is to operate forced to "recognize" as their political creed, the principles of Thomas Jefferson though a noble man and ratriot as shown. in his Ordinance of, 1787, or his letter to Holmes, or his "Notes on Vir ginia," because the Democracy of this Territory do not "recognize" a udivis:onl" It i3 plain that he believed Congress had power over the Territories; it is, also, plain that Douglas holds that the right is in the people and their Territorial Legis- ature.

He might, if he choose, also say something about a certain note of $65, bearing the autograph of his owner who is now a candidate for Delegate to Con gressgiven a mechanic for work done on his residence, some two or three years ago.
