Union Party riatforru. Resolved, That we, the delegates to this Convention, representing the Union Party . of Nebraska, are in favor of immoH!o Rtnfp nrrrn ri7n t inn . for ihp reasons : Tirst That in our .judgement, it will tend to promote the speedy settlement of the Territory, and to develop its material . growth and prosperity. Second That it will place under the control of the people our School Lands, and thereby largely contribute to reduce taxation for the support of our Common School system. Third That it will enable Nebraska to Eelect the Public Lands which the General Government has proposed to grant to her for a State University, Agri cultural College, State Buildings, and for the developement of our mineral resour ces, before all the valuable lands -within nnr' limits nil Fisivp Kppn nlimrhprl lit? ' foreign speculators, and by the location of ' Agricultural College Scrp issued to other States. Fourth That the increased revenue . which may be derived from the taxation of the property of foreign corporations, from which no revenues have heretofore been received would more than compen sate for the increased expenses incident to - State Government n t rri . t t nesoivea, xnai wnue we are in iavor 01 . this measure for the reasons above assign ed, and for many others which we might ' mention, we do not regard the question of . State organization as in any proper sense a party issue, but on the contrary, as a " nuestion to be decided bveach individual citizen in accordance with his best judge ment. Submitted as it was by the joint . action of Republicans and Democrats, we regard it as purely a question of local po licy, which every voier must deside for himself, without regard to his political antecedents or attachments. Resolved, That the party which has triumphantly sustained and vindicated the Government of the United Stales, and carried it safely through four years of pangninary war, waged by the enemies of civil and religious liberty owes it to itself, to its cherished principles and to humam .ty to secure liberty and .equality before the law, to all men. Resolved, That we hereby pledge our selves to render a hearty and earnest sup- fort to the nominees of this Convention. Thus far we have neglected comment oa lhj Union Platform given above.- This has not been from any dislike to its principles, with which we agree; but for want of space. It is the most plain, straightforward document ever gotten up by any party in Nebraska. The first resolution presents a square front on the State question; and the ar guments there given contain the essence of Our reasons for advocating State. The third resolution is to the point on . National issues, and must be the senti ment of every Union man in Nebraska. TL- .. I. 1 . i. : wrons: in this resolution are those who desire the Union party to split up in order to give the Democracy of Nebras ka an easy victory. The Convention did wisely in assertirjg the principle of equal . rights ; and would have acted very un wisely to have condemned or lauded euner oniiress or me j resiueni. as the country is now situated neither Con gress or the President can advance or retard the question ; time alone and the ability of the colored race to participate in the Government will most surely set tle their status in this country ; while the Honor of the Nation, through every branch of our Government, is pledged to protect tlem in their freedom. The statement, in to-day's issue, of the financial condition of the Brownville Hiffh School is a complete showing up to date. It will there be seen that the f rtbable amount yet necessary to com plete the building is S3.35S24 ; which a tax of one cent on the dollar would raise. The excess of expenditures over the re ceipts up to date is $472 64. Up to -ihe past two weeks, and for a year past, the excess of expenditures over receipts .Las averaged 81,500. Th has been oo cisicced by the delay in paying up taxes r.nd subscriptions. The work would be materially assisted if the tax-payers and j the subscribers would pay up promptly this Spring. Yet notwithstanding these drawbacks, the work has been steadly progresM'ng, as will be seen, conisdera bly ahead of the money paid in. We are assured by the Board of their ability to complete the buildirg this season with the amount shown, above and a levy of one cent on the dollar to be collected in 1S67. Thus it will rest with the people to give the Board a positive assurance to finish up the building by voting unani mously for the tax when called on. The building will be. an honor to the city and do more to enhance the price of property than any other public work ever begun here. The Board is entitled to the lhankr of the whole community for the able man ner in which they have managed under the circumstances. Their hearts are in the work and all they ask as a recompence for their work is that the community will promptly furnish the means, and they guarrantee the early completion of the building. The Reconstruction commute. have at last made a report, making a basis upon which they will be willing to accept the Southern States. It has not yet been adopted by Congress. It is in the shape of Constitutional Amendments, and its leading features are : Equality before the law to all ; representation in Con gress on the basis cf actual voters ; ex elusion of voluntary rebels from suffrage until 1570 ; and that the United States shall never assume any rebel debt. Though this report may seem a step backward from what was expected, it will be accepted by the whole country, with the exception of the rankest copperheads and rebels. They will fight with terri ble earnestness the clause which cuts cfi Southern representation both in the basis of representation and exclusion of rebels. Congress will place itself square before the people now by opening the way for the speedy admission of the known layal representatives from Tennessee and Ar kansas. The country has nothing to fear and every hi rig to gain by the admission of loyal men, who "have been weighed in the balance" and not found wanting. Loyal men need neither wonder nor fear at the copperhead lament which will go up all over the country "for the Ccn stitution as it teas lv it will be their chief 'stock in trade" to beg to be permitted to assisted their braver allies, the rebels A terrible riot occured between colored population and the roughs in Memphis on the 1st. It originated from a single fight between a whit car driver and a negro drayman, in which the negro had done all in his power to keep out of a fuss. Several persons were killed. Af ter this was quelled, all seemed quiet un til the night of the second, when sud denly the city was thrown into tremend ous excitement by the fires arising from some fifty colored churches, school hous es and dwellings which had been fired by the white mob of the previous day. Hundreds of freedmen and their fami lies were left homeless, and the roads leading to the country were crowded by colored folks leaving for fear of their lives. A rain set in towards morning and assisted greatly in checking the flames. Loyal sources disclaim that this mob was led or encoaraged by rebels, in support of which they ttate that Gen. Stoneman has authorized the reorgani zation of the 154 rebel Tennessee regi ment and will arm them to protect the city. Be that as it may, it was a hellish scheme too ably executed, the perpetra tors of which Memphis should seek out and severely punish to redeem its credit. The bill for the admission of Colorado passed the House of Representatives, on the 3rd, by a vote of SO to 55. A mo tion to strike out the word "white" was voted down. Thus has Colorado passed through the most doubtful ordeal toward Statehood, and nothing now remains but for the President to sign the bill, which we are assured by several Washington cor respondents that he will not do. We be lieve he will sign it. If he should not we would be forced to agree with several of our more ultra friends that he has gone crazy on his "constitutional pre rogative." We can see nothing to be gained by him to advance "my )olcyv by such a veto, and therefore believe it will not be made. The aspirent for Gubernatorial honors on the Democratic ticket, takes us to task in the News of 31st ult., for our criti cisms on the Democnic Platform. After his usual style of garblingourccmments, he says: "If the erudite gentlemen, the United States Tax Assessor, who wrote the above, will turn to the first inaugural address of President Thomas Jefferson he wilKfind the original of "the greatest medley of sense, nonsense, treason and a stagger at loyalty, copperheadism and Democra cy that could be hatched up by even so gifted a cuss'1 as Thomas Jefferson." . Wc should never, perhaps, have notic ed the above remarks of the ex-Secre tary of this Territory under James Bu chanan, were it not for the thrust at Hon. T..W. Tipton. Morten has never let occasion slip to get off some fling at Mr. Tipton, and it has generally been with fcs little occasion and as bungling as the above. We know that Mr. Tipton has the- ability to far transcend bur efforts" ed-. itorially. yet has never assisted us in that capacity but once; at our request he wrote off a local notice of Mose3 Syden ham's Lecture, we not having attended. If Morton's reputation was other than that of a knave and buffoon, we should feel complimented by his mistake; yet, as it is the joke is on Mr. Tipton, who "still Iive3," and on the sacred ashes of one of America's greatest Statesmen Thomas Jefferson. . - . - We did not discuss the platform as frcm any particular source ; had that been the case, we should have sought the author of the last resolution in a bawdy or lo-v pot-house, and found him in the person of J. Stirling Morton. We have at present to do with the present appli cation of the Preamble and first resolu tion of the Democratic Platform ; which is not changed in the least by its author ship. The application of the platform, to the objects which we pointed out, is not denied, the above extract is the only lisht thrown on the subject by the Grand Commander of the K. G. C. As to our criticism : Da not the Cop perheads and Democrats in Congress contend that the rebel debt is just, and that it is a breach of public faith to com pel its repudiatiation ? Read the Dem ocratic platform, "the honest payment of our just debts, the sacred preservation of the public faith." Are not the rebels and their friends terribly in favor of "the supremacy of the civil over the mil itary authority ?" These, among a great number of other points in the present ap plication of these resolutions, indicate just what we have charged ; and were gotten up so that the Democratic nomi nees, if elected, could conscientiously work with the southern wing for rebel reconstruction. No one knows this better than Mr. Morton, and we defy him to deny. If we are mistaken in our ren dering of this platform, it must be' with out other application than to bamboozle the public, end the candidates thereon are well calculated for that purpose. ' The third resolution is doubtless im ported stock, sired by Vallandigham and Voorhes, and will doubtless be darned by every loyal man in Nebraska. Facts for. the People I The following interesting statement contains facts which show plainly that Nebraska is able to sustain a State Gov ernment.

Total valuation, 1S66 1S.234 00 . a SQ.j Increase over 1865, $18,234 00 Some five or six new counties will make returns this year that have not in former years ; which, with the ratio of increased valuation in other counties, will make the valuation of property in the Territory for 1866 near $20,000,000, which at 6 mills on the dollar (amount now levied) will make a revenue of 8120,000. . The General and School Funds are the principal revenue funds. The Sink ing Fund is used for the payment of fees on taxes collected, interest, &c, and mile age to County Treasurers in traveling to and from the Capital to make their an nual settlements with the Territory. It is supposed that in less than three years the Union Pacific Railroad will be completed to Julesburg, the western line of Nebraska, a distanoe of 600 miles flora Omaha. When completed, and the road with all its rolling stock, machi nery, and lands are taxed, it will bring in a revenue larger than we now receive from the Territory. The question is often asked me wheth er taxes would be increased under State Government? My answer is that until the Revenue Law is changed, taxes will not be increased. By inferring to Revenue Law, Sec. 30, page 15, ninth session, 1S64, you will find that the levy is l:mited to 6 1-2 mills on the dollar, the amount now levied is 6 mills. The General and School Fund (the two principal funds) are to the full limit of the law; 1-2 mill, additional to the present levy, can be levied on the Sinking Fund but at present it furnish es a sufficient revenue for that particular fund. .To illustrate If your property is assessed at $5,000, at 6 mills on the dol lar, your tax would be $30 and unless the General and School Fund levy was increased by law, your taxes would con tinue year after year the same. I believe with proper legislation and control of our school lands, ahat we can form a School Fund amply sufficient to make our common schools free, without a tax being levied upon the people. Thereby relieving taxation in that par ticular. Im am, sir, Your ob't ser't, JOHN GILLESPIE, . Auditor. The White Cloud ChieC of the 3, says: "The Copperheads of Nebraska have nominated their State ticket. For Gov ernor, they have J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska City, alias "Doesticks," alias "L'Eau qui Court ;'' and for Congress, Dr. Brooke, of Salem, icho lamented thai his son enlisted in the Union instead of the rebel army. A fine ticket they have, for the support. of Price's disbanded rag amuffins." Sol. i3 generally correct, and in this he has a good chance cf knowing. Let all remember ! J. B. Weston, of Nebraska City, ha" been appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for Nebraska. The appointment is a good one. Only a slight acquaintance with Mr. Weston has convinced us that he is honest, capa ble and loyal. This among other ap pointments made recently should convince the Democracy of their folly in stretch ing their craven necks towards the White House for patronage. ifEW A.D YERTISEME N T& From the School COardon the NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
