If it were other-. wj38if I had been favorable to State organization I can see no possible bear ing which that fact could have upon the great issues of the present canvass. It nfight be "of interest to the people cf Nebraska" to inquire how far you compromised your freedom cf action and of rating inthe la!e canvass between Judge Kinney (the Democratic nominee for Congress) and his successful compet itor, in order to retain the "humble and obscure position" of Post Sutler at Fort Kearney, but even this would seern tome to be equally out of place and' in bad taste in the pending canvass. I therefore insist upon my original proposition to discuss the issues involved in the Platforms, Territorial and Nation al, of the parties which placed us in nom ination. You must le aware that I am the nom ine? of the "Union" (not the Republi can) party of Nebraska as th-:ir Candi date for Delegate in Congress.

The next thing- to be done is to cut off from our subscription list ell those who have uot paid thtir subscription in ad vance.

We Lave to pay cash in udvance for every tb irg we UoO about the office, and how crn we do it at an expense of SCO a -cek, and wait with our patrens for their subscriptions for a pear ? That would be insisting too much for their accom modation, and more than they will ask us to when the case has been fairly laid before them.
