EDimrs. 3 3 " tnOT.'N VH.LE, THURSDAY, FEB. 4, 1SG4. There has been, we believe, since the 1 fgicnicj of history, but few instances, if m parties existed, that the stronger did nut ut its power till it became an evil to great that it corrected itself by recoil in? "slid destroying the party or power fcr tie time.lein at least. This may lc seen particularly in the history of re vviutions ; laVe those revolutions that , lysye npurr'd ia Europe and thv dorni . mm ftirtf las generally overleap! it - tlfV'nr.d; fell powerless be)'ond the de fired' goal, through reforms overdone, or Mrecitios. committed upon the' opposing iry. This is one of the weaknesses of -lmnma, nature: pine-tenths f the hu man family know not 'when to let well moogh alone," In cur land this is ap parent in a thousand ways; the unedu , cated over zealous Union men,' if per mitted, would damn the Union with kind ness, by" atrocities committed in their in irne zral for its welfare. This needs rnme reptraing influence, and in the capa city wq now occupy we shall use our hum tltt influence to, this effect s long as we isue a loyal paper.

" . v - " The good work still goes bravely on ; and the "Border Slates" are coming with the "rolling side up." A large meeticg was held in Nashville, Tenn., on. the 21st ult., at' which resolutions were passed recognizing the authority of -the Federal Government to secure "a republican gov ernment in the rebellious States by ap pointing a military Governor ; denounc ing slavery a3 an evil in itself, and the cause of the rebellion; and advising the reorganization of the Stale Government by a Constitutional Convention composed of delegates pledged to immediate and universal emancipation. And acommit lee was apptinted to select delegates to the Southern- Free State Convention to be held in Louisville.

In the Maryland House of Delegates a series of resolutions passed, on the 22d ult., indorsing the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, and re-nominating him for President.

' ; ' ELL' M-'JSS, -vaj !p nr: - l rotice j Fb. ss. isisi-i? - Written fur" the Advertiser. - WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING ? As we are informed that considerable excitement exists in some portions cf our county ia 'consequence of erroneous re ports havbgbeen circulated in relation to certain proceedings which have recent ly taken jSace in BrownviU'e, and as some of cur .citizens have been traduced and their actions misrepresented; we deem it proper to lay beforethe public 'a full statement c what has actually' occurred. On the 'isight cf th's 20th cf last month aparty of thirteen armed men wentS the house of '.an old. man, by-the name Emmons, situated about , tour Ttuiies North of this place, and failing to find Mr.'E.- who had- concealed : himself , on the first , alarmthey broke in the win dows, destroyed rhost of the furniture, ?nd threatened the' lives of his -family. Mr. E.jatid.his wife succeeded in escap ing to Brownville, at two o'clock in , the morning,- leaving their' : family of four children at the mercy cf the Land. A part of the house was occupied by Mrs, Mclninch, whose husband : is now in , the 2d Kansas" Regiment, and this wa3 in jured more, than the rest. Mrs. Emmons vrho. says that she recognized two of the band, having filed the necessary affidavit Justices Sanders and Hughes issued a warrant for the apprehension of Law rence Rains and Edward Hahn. The accused soon appeared in charge of con stable Marlon, the sheriff being tempo ranly absent, liains, wnue a. prisoner and ia charge of ' the constable, attacked Emmons on the .street with a' revolver and ran ,him around the - building threatening to kill him. This took place in the presence of the constable, the jus tice and a number of , our citizens, none of whom offered to interfere. ine ease or tne lerntory against Rains and Hahn, : being called, was, i for reasons probably sufficient, adjourned' to the 30th, the defendants giving their own recognizance for their appearance. On the next morning; Ed. Hahn met Emmons on the street and without the slightest provocation beat him severely. Hahn then wTent before Justice Sanders plead guilty to a complaint made by himself. and was fined 81. This proceeding was cf course irregular, as a Justice of the Peace is not authorized to impose a fine of less than 85 for assault and battery and then only when a complaint is prop erly made and the evidence is heard. , In the afternoon of the same day, Rains accompanied hy a number of his friends armed with revolvers, attacked and sever ly beat Emmons, ahheugh he offered so resistance. "This ; was . done in the most public part of, our town, and in the pres ence cf a cumber of people, none o. whom offered to interfere. Emmons succeeded in escaping from his persecu tors and took refuge in the Brownville House, where he remaiued for several days, not daring to go home, although his family was then living in town. Some of our citizens, feeling indignant at such disgraceful conduct, caused warrant to be issued for Rains Jor this last offence, and placed in the hands of our Sheriff. We are informed that the warrant has been since returned, the offi cers not being able to find the accused, although it i3 well known that he is still in the county. A few days after1" this occurred the same band of desperadoes openly de clarcd their intention to remove Emmons forcibly frcm the town, and the Sheriff, at the request of a large number of our citizens was obliged to have a posse of twenty-five or thirty armed men in readi ness to resist the apprehended attack, which, fortunately for the outlaws, they did not attempt. Tft f 1 - a we are intormea mat some or our citizens, and among them a Justice of the Peace, allowed themselves to be intimi dated so much as to endeavor to induce Mrs. Emmons, the witness on belalf of the Territory, not to appear at the exam ination, but to enter into some sort of a compromise. We' would here, by the way, inform these people that a witness has no riffht to compromise a criminal case, in which the Territory must be the prosecutor. On the-30th the case of the Territory of Nebraska against Rains and Hahn came up forbearing, and u-e are told tnat Mr.-liennedy one r our Uounty Commissisners appeared for the accused, or as an adviser to the Court, and caused the whole proceedings to be dismissed at the" cost of the witness, although the ac cused did not make their appearance. The reason alledged on the Justicefs doc ket for the dismissel was that the pros ecutiag witness did not appear at the appointed time.- Now, we know the fac1 to be, that the witnesses were in town and that their attendance could easily have been prccured.bj notifying them that the Justices were ready to proceed with the case. Ine action of tne Justices in dis missing this proceeding was not in ac cordance with law. The Territory of Nebraska was the prosecutor, or plaintiff, and Mrs. Emmons only a witness, and it was the duty cf the Justices to see that the rights of the Territory were not sac rificed. They should have compelled the attendance of all persons who knew any thing about the case, even by issuing an attachment, if necessary, and after hearing all the testimony which could be procured they should have discharged the prisoners or bound them over to appear! ""ErowcviUe,NoT."2lst, lf3. " at the next term of our District Court. The dismissal of .such proceedings when the Justice is aware that a criminal of fence has actually been committed, mere ly because a certain witness happens not to be present in the court room when the case is called, is something new in judi cal proceedings. - . We have how stated all the facts con nected with these, roost disgraceful pro ceedin?s ;-and we . would now -ask the people of-our county if 'such a' state 'of things is to be any longer tolerated. Are Jaws to: be trampiea unaer iooi, our The 'intimidated, ; and thsT criminals , ed to walk defiantly the streetsof -- .. - ' - - . -. our .county seat, and opsnly threaten death to any one, who dares to inform against them? ' We are aware that Mr. Emmons -is accused, of. being a sympa thizer with rebellion, and of having made use of some, outrageous .expressions a gaiiist the soldiers of the Union. We do not know hbwmnch,: truth there may be in this accusation," nor do we think this proceeding was cne in vvhich it should be investigated. If any one knows of Mr. Emmons having done anything against the government or is willing to swear to his having made use of t any ; expression which our proper authorities, either civil or military, would consider- deserving ol punishment, we ask " that he go before those anthonties and make the proper showing for his airesL - If any; one knowing these things, keeps them from the authorities, he is guilty of a crime himself, and is no better than a rebel We wish to see all traitors, rebels and sympathizers punished as they deserve to be, but insist that this should be done under the law or under the direction of our military authorities. . It is no sym pathy for Mr. Emmons, or men of his views which induces us to speak thus, but a conviction that nothing can save our country from anarchy and confusion but a strict adherence to the Jaw. Without inforcement of the law, property would become worthless, and civilization would be destroyed, and if the respectable por tion of; the, community should become convinced that the civil authorities are powerless, they would petition for a pro vost marshal and a military force. If the conduct of these outlaws is to be tolerated, let us abolish our courts and establish a vjgilance committee composed of a few good men. It certainly cannot be allowed that any individual, even the most ignorant or criminal, should sit in judgemdnt upon any of our citizens and punish - him in any manner . he may think proper. In conclusion we would inform those who uphold such acts, that our community is aroused and determin ed that our laws and also the the proc lamations of the President shall be in" forced, and that all those rebelling against them shall be made to submit. We believe however, that all that is necessary to put a stop to such proceed ings is to expose them, so that a healthy public sentiment, which we know exists ic eur community, can be brought to btar against them. .. . v LAW &. ORDER. We publish the following letter by re quest to show what were same of th.3 means of intimidation used during the recent disgraceful proceedings in Brown ville: " ; - '-. Messrs. McPhxrsojc aitd Sphiitkle : Sirs: The unconditional Union men of this county are desirous of informing you that they look with unmitigated con tempt upon your actions in harboring aiding and abetting such rebels as one Emmons, who is now protected by you and they consider that parties who har bor such infamous scoundrels as he are no better than him. and - that the sooner you get rid of him the better it will be for your credit and the credit of your town. We as Union men consider men who curse our Government and express the wish that the Indian3 wojIJ have cut out the hearts of Lincoln's Nigger thieves (meaning the soldiers of the Union) as no better than a rebel inarms nor even so good, for one in arms is an open foe while the other is a secret trai tor (Vile Copperhead) too cowardly to go where he belongs; And men that har bor them we look upon as belonging to the same class; and deserving the con tempt and scorn ot all "loyal men, which they have assuredly merited and will m ost assuredly get Yours Sac. UNION LEAGUE. Mr, Editor : I would take no notice cf the above anonymous letter, were it not tnat l nave outside evidence that it emanated from a secret conclave held at London. In answer thereto, I would say that so far as my protection to Mr. Em mons i3 concerned, it - was only to keep hint from being murdered in broad day liirht in the streets' of Brownville. I keep a public house, and when guest3 slop there and behave themselves pro perly I do ao consider it obligatory up on me to as"k their religion , or politics.' In regard t the threats contained ia the above letter, I would say that I intend to take protection under the law,: and I de- y, and will do all in my power- as a citi zen to bring to justice all. whi violate it. With regard to- Mr. Emmons and the charge against him, I know but very lit tle; if he has been guilty of "any criminal effence, I would.be glad to see him pun ished by the proper authorities, but not persecuted f"" Tdered bv men who. act cl7v84w j Siieiw. in open defiance of ail law. I have no sympathy for those in rebellion against the laws and will inform those who are causing this disturbance that if they per sist in their resistance; to the law3 and the? .proclamation of the President, in i destroying the peace cf the community, I will call to my aid tha powers of the Government to suppress their insurrec tionary lawless proceedings. In conclus- ion I would say to'the writer of the above that the time' for 'their lawlessness his passed and that I disregard thoir threats and defy thern. , : :. . . . JOHN McPHERSQN. -Brownville, N.
