THE ADVERTISER.
BKOW&'VIM, XCB.,
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 15,71.
SALUTATORY.
In takinc our position as editor of
fhid, the oldest paper in the State,
-vc yield obedience-to common usage
in formally introducing ourselfto
the denizens of Brownville, citizens
of Nemaha county, and people of Ke
hraska, and making known to them
the aims which wilt actuate and prin
ciples whfch win stimulate us in the
prosecution of our profession.
I'OLITICAE.
Politically the Advertiser will re
main unchangel and unehaiunble.
It has long been our pride and boast
that we were a charter-member of
the Republican party, having been in
nt the birth of the organization. In
IS5G we publihed the Sterling (Ills.)
Republican, from the mast-head of
which floated the names of Fremont
and Dayton, and we have been fight
ing Democrats and modern Democra
cy ever 'since, a portion of the time
under direction and pay of Uncle
". Sam, and Win interim on our own ac
count, and now settle in our new lmr-
" noss with :is good an appetite for sim
ilar conflicts as at any period in "our
. experience.
In 1832 Gen. Jackson, a true Demo
crat, took an oath that "the Federal
Union must and shall be preserved!"
and threatened to hang Calhoun ffor
advocating doctrines, or rather herc
Hies,iuimical to the perpetuation of th
OJnion. Hud lie kept his .threat as
faithfully as he did his oath, the race
of Calhouns might have become ex
tinct, and the late war against nation
al sovereignty would not have been
inaugurated. Jiut his leniency em
boldened the disciples of the great
nullilier to raise their impotent arms
against the government, and to spout
and fulminate treason with an incar
nate, demoniac spirit, without prece
dent, and paralleled only by the late
. communists. Had the hero of Now
Orleans hung Calhoun, treason would
thereafter have been held as odious.
"But exponents of the arch-traitor still
live, without having given evidence
of shame as did the traitor Peter when
he cried the remorso which Judas
exhibited when he hung himself or
the sense of consciousness of infamy
which Arnold did when he expatria
ted himself from the country he en
deavored to betray.
To the Republican party attaches
the honor and glory of carrying the
starry banner victorious through its
peril, and following the example of
our forefathers, who placed Washing
ton in the presidential chair as their
first national executive, the Repub
Jicah patriots, while honoring their
great chieftain, honored themselves
and the nation, by inducting General
Grant into the presidential ofllce so
soon after the war as a constitutional
vacancy existed. And right hero we
are led to remark that Grant's politi
cal strategy appears to have had the
same effect upon, the Democracy that
his military strategy had upon the
rebels. Already demoralization has
seized upon them, and the apostles of
that church are now singing peans
to the Union, and ratifying measures
which, during incubation and delive
ery, they grew hoarse in denouncing.
At their late conventions in Ohio and
Iowa they startled the nation, and all
the people therein, by the peals of
Republican thunder they caused to
issue from their council chambers.
The Democracy are sick ; and as Sa
tan, when similarly situated, wanted
to become a monk, so they would now
become Republican's ; but, as the
devil, on recovering, renounced the
la:tn, the precedent will operate to
the disadvantage of his modern prototypes.
We shall deal honestly.but firmly
with every question. As we will not
shirk responsibility in attacking men
and measures we may deem amena
ble to censure, or in bestowing praise
and commendation-upon such as we
consider entitled thereto, we will not
expect to meet, in all cases, universal
approbation, bat shall so conduct our
journal as to deserve general respect
and confidence as to honesty of pur
pose and inspiration. If we do not
receive our deserts from all, we are
confident" we will from the unpreju
diced, and while maintaining our
own self respect receive credit for pu
rity anu sincemy.oi motive, aim anu
purpose, from those whose approba
tion is worthy of possessing.
THE PRESS.
With our brethren of the prc3 we
to preserve amicable and courteous
relations. We shall deal with argu
ments presented, rather than the
character of the persons annunciating
them, and unless driven to it by the
bad taste of cotempoaries, will not
throw disagreuble ink-hellets at any
of them, save perhaps in the way of
legitimate argument.
CONCLUSION.
Considering that we have now suf
ficiently introduced ourHeIfto"our
patrons, we will close this formal in
troductory article. Hoping that in
tercourse between reader and writet
may prove mutually pleasant and
profitable that Nebraska may make
long and swift strides until sho takes
such rank among her sister States as
her merits entitle her to that our
county may grow in population,
wealth and enterprise, until the
name "Nemaha" will be indicative
of thrift and commercial prosperity,
and that lirownvillo may grow to be
a large and prosperous city, with the
Advertiser as its favored and favor
ite organ, wc remain the public's
willing servant,
William Caffkey.

A COUNTRY RIDE.
Last week the writer took a ride
aeioss the country dividing "Lincoln
from Brown ville. Notwithstanding
the extreme drouth of the season,
the crops looked as though not suffer
ing for nourishment. Corn was
high and healthy looking, while the
fall wheat was being harvested and
producing more than an average
yield. Spring wheat was almost uni
versally sickly looking, while many
fields were entirely consumed by the
lugs. When the evidence is so pat
ent that winter wheat almost iuvar
atly proves a remunerative crop,
and spring wheat a non paying one,
we wonder at the tenacity with
which so many .agriculturists incline
toward the cultivation of the latter.
Arriving at Tecumseh, the Bfeire
town of Johnson County, we register
ed at the Sherman House, where un
der the care of 4,mine host" Tierncy,
we soon felt at home. Here we met
old time friends who introduced us to
the leading citizens of the town, all of
whom we found to be subjects of rail
road fever. The sight of th6 Engi
neers' little flags, and the rattle of
their chains as they moved through"
their precincts threw each anu all of
them into spasms. But they rather
enjoved the fever and refused to be
inuoculated. We called m at the
ftice of the Chieftain where we found
the Fairbrothcrs with sleeves rolled
up, each throwing type iuto senten
ces and paragraphs for the benefit of
their patrons.
From Tecumseh wc set out for Sterl
ing, 'a new and promising town, locat
ted iu Johnson county, about twelve
miles Noith-west of the county
neat. Some two years since Sterling
was unknown to the people of the
county, and the ripple of .the Nemaha
as it flowed through the site of the
town was heard by but a very few.
A little over two years since William
II. "Mann.joriginally of Watertown, N.
Y., but for several years a citizen of
Sterling, Illinois, visited Johnson
county with the view of finding a lo
cation for a Grist aHI!, and seeing the
Nemaha at this point, became infat
uated with the prospect, and imme
diately set to work building a Mill,
after which he possessed himself of a
considerable area of contiguous prop
erty, which he platted and laid out
for a town site, christening the same
Sterling, after Sterling, Illinois, one
of the prettiest and most important
manufacturing cities in the Sucker
State. The operations of the Mill,
under the management of Mr. -Mann,
who, as a miller, has few peers and
no superiors, soon atli acted customers
and nrospectors, ami now two coun
try stores, a drug store,
and harness shop are in
several line residences
erected, and a desirable

New York have located there. Next

The party which had the patriotism
to fight for and sustain the Union
whon armed foes menaced it, has
statesmanship sufficient to manage its
affairs in time3 of peace : and the
stage tricks of the demagogues who
hunger after the flesh-pots will fail to
.deceive the honest eleetors of the
United States. Their conventional
voice will fail to secure the coveted
"birth-right;" aud all the Rcbekah's
in the laud cannot clothe a Hoffman,
Hendricks. Thurmau, or other demo
crat, so as to enable him to obtain
from republicans remission for past
offenses in the shape of tenure to na
tional office.
But we do not design going further
into the political waters this week;
our intent being simply to foreshadow
our political views. If we have not
been sufficiently explicit, we guaran
tee making ourself fully understood
by every reader as events prompt us
to ventilate our sentiments.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Every species of internal improve
mentscounty or State will find in
us an ardent and zealous advocate and
supporter, and drafts upon our efforts
in that direction will be honored at
Fight. Brownville should be connect
ed with the commercial world by iron
ligaments. Vhensheisso connected,
enterprise and capital will flow in
upon us manufactories will sprint
up the smoke from which will riseup I
upon tno air, and float in giant col
umns in the heavens above us while
our populace will increase and spread
like a carpet, up, upon, and over the
bluffs which now look down so invi
tingly upon us from the north and
south, at present clothed with but the
dress which nature has so lavishly
bequeathed them. Having cast our
destiny here, we will work unceasing
ly for rail road outlets and inleta, be
lieving that it will be for our interest
to do so, and what ' will benefit uh
will correspondingly iunurc to the
advaufcage of every citizen.
FOURTH OF JULY.
The Fourth of July came and went,
pretty much as its predecessors dur
ing the past Do years. Its advent here
was announced by the tongue of can
non, and the rising of the sun was
welcomed by the letting off of every
available explosive article at hand.
. There was no regular programme
adopted for the Brownvillans to fol
low, consequently each followed the
best of his or her inclination. S
LOCAL.
It will he cur aim., as it is our pur
pose, to devote such attention to local
interests as will render tho Adverti
ser notouly desirable, but indispensa
ble to every one having such interests
at heart. Of course it will take a little
time to acquaint ourself with the
jieeds aud wants of our people, but
wlieu possessed of the information,
we will be fouud prompt iu our field

went to Omaha, others to St. Joseph,
etc. The only celebration we know
of as coming off in this county was
one at Long Bridge, where a numerous
assemblage was present and an enjoy
able season experienced by all. There
the Declaration of Independence was
read, and an oration delivered by
Capt. J. N. Lucas, of this city. We
learn that the Captain's address was
tasteful in its preparation' and elo
quent in its delivery. After the ora
tion followed dancing aud social har
mony. As darkness filled our streets the
sound and dazzle of fire-cracker, rock
et, &c, fell upon the car and vision,
and Young America let himself loose
in his hilarious element. We noticed
some older patriots scarcely less dem
onstrative than the younger ones.
Some of them looked tired, as though
they had contracted to carry larger
loads of wet groceries than their capac
ity warrauted. As wo retired for the
night the heavens wcro ablazo with
fire works, and the atmosphere seem
ed to be freighted with terrific vocal
ism. Wo trust that next year our people
will exhibit proper enterprise aud
zeal to arrange for a proper and im
posing celebration in this city, thus
enabling the majority of our citizeus
to enjoy the day at home aud to cir
culate their money here, where it will
return to them, rather than in more
remote avenues.
ments for such growth having been
nearly completed. Johnson county
owes much to the euterprise of Mr.
M. for the speedy attraction and im
portant development of their resourc
es, and that gentleman is deserving of
the fortune which is now almost
within his grasp, needing but the ad
vent of the Nemaha Valley R. R. to
enable him to clutch and hold it.
But wo must hasten to Lincoln.
We found this to be a very promising
four year old town, giving promise of
becoming a very creditable Capital
City. The State House, when com
pleted according to design, will rank
amongst the most imposing in the
West, while the University reflects
high honor upon the people of the
State, as well as on the architect and
builder. As we did not arrive at Lin
coin until Saturday evening, wo had
not the pleasure of seeing the Solons
of the State at their work of remodel
ing the Constitution, and will reserve
publication of other impressions made
until after another visit.
The editor of the Democrat should

is'on Randolph street, between Clark

Vicker's Theater he says it is nearer
the lake than the Museum, whereas
the fact is there-has not been such "a
theater in Chicago for two months
past, the building having been torn
down in April last to make room for
a new aud larger edifice. Tho Dear

been closed for a mouth past, tho
company owning it being on a travel

lie characterises as the "home of leg

other purposes.
At two o'clock on last Sabbath
morning a heavy rain storm set in
from the east, and, so far as we have
been able to learn, extended over the
entire State. Herethejain descend
ed in torrents, penetrating almost ev
ery i oof in tho city. At Nebraska
City the fire engines were brought in
to requisition to pump the water out
of cellars. The crops of the Stale are
now beyond the reach of ordinary
danger.
CE3TERAL ITEMS.
Editor Advertiser: T send you
the following items, gleaned from
general reading:
The North-Western University has
conferred upon Lieut. Gen. Phil. H.
Sheridan the degree of LL. D.
The American expedition at Kiang
Ko have taken five forts from the Co
reans, after a. desperate defense, in
which 500 Coreans and three Ameri
cans were killed, and 4S1 small brass
pieces taken. The forts were defend
ed by 11,000 men. The immediate
cause of this was a treacherous attack
on our squadron by the Coreans in
pursuance with the policy long enter
tained by them, to drive foreigners
from their soil and waters. The his
tory of the matter runs-thusly : In
lSGGan American trading schooner
became shipwrecked off the cost of
Corea. The crew, takinir to fhoir
boats, landed on this peninsula, when
they were fell upon by the unhospita
ble Coreans and all wounded and
many killed, only a few escaping to
tell the barbarous tale. Oursquadron
recently rescued, from a sinking junk,
five Coreans and took them into the
harbor nearest the capitol and restor
ed, them with great pomp and mag-
nimity to their friends, and demand
ed an explanation of their inhuman
treatment of our men, whereupon the
forts opeued upon the squadron for
coming into the harbor without leave.
The catalogues of our best colleges
at this summer's commencement
show that several hundred Japanese
are being educated in this country
and the universal testimony is that
they are apt, thoughtful, attentive,
well-behaved and eager to learn.

Miss Emma Brooks, of Richardson

manuscript, in a very lady-like, con

which gives the greatest expansive
force to the mind, Nature presents a
variety in the vegetable kingdom,

Animal life shows the same beauty of

strangely diversified. The little cor
als of the seas havo been writing
countless volumes during the past
ages which the Geologists of to day
can--read as accurately as though
written by themselves in the present.
Nature offers us the key to unlock
all knowledge and all mystery. Her

The Missouri Republican of the 1st
inst., devotes nearly a column to Hon.
Willard Warner, Ex-U. S. Senator
from Alabama. We extract the fol
lowing :
"He belongs to that class so nu
merous since the war who call them
selves "Southern Union men." He
did not enter heartily into the secess
ion movement, nor did he espouse
the side of the North with sufficient
enthusiasm to make himself specially
obnoxious to his secession neighbors.
In short, like the canny Scotchman,
he contrived to "serve the Lord in
such a manner as not to displease the
devil," and so arranged his cards
that Federal or Confederate turned
the decisive jack, he stood to win. Of
course, his lukewarmness in the
Southern cause required him to put
the heaviest stakes on the final suc
cess or tho North : for had tho form
er gained the day, he could only have
retained his position as a conservative
member of the community, respecta
ble and respected ; while the victory
of the latter ensured him a broader
field for tho exercise of a noble ambi
tion. No sooner, therefore, was peace
declared, than the star of Warner be
gan to rise. No one in this section of
the country had heard of him before,
but every one heard of him and from
him immediately after. The candle

Wo heartily concur with the senti
ments enuunciated by our correspond
ent "Advance," in to-day's Advek

submit the same to the consideration
of Nemaha county representatives in
the Constitutional Convention. If
they would fatally stab the interests
of Brownvilie, Nemaha county, and
the State of Nebraska, let litem vote
for "prohibition." If they would in.-,

Alabama with its blessed beams, and
growing brighter and brighter toward
tue periect day."
Now, the fact is, Willard Warner
was a Union man from the beginning
to the close of the rebellion. Ho was
not a "Southern Union man," but an
Ohio Unionist, aad was Major of the
oGtb, Ohio regiment, Col. (afterwards
Gen.) Wood's regiment. When the
war broke ou, ho was State Senator
of Ohio, and lived in Newark, Lick
ing county. After the war he located
in Alabama, and was elected there
from to tho U. S. Senate.
Warner has lately been elected col
lector of the port of Mobil e, and the
Republican, in its effort to hold that
gentleman up to the ridicule of the
people, has succeeded most admirably
in rendering itself ridiculous and ex
posing its ignorance of public men.

GRADUATING EXERCISES OF1 THE
PERU STATE IiORZilAL. SOllOOIi.
Peku, Ncn., June 2Sth, 1S71.
En. Advuutiseu : The gradua
ting exercises of the Peru State Nor
mal School were held on Wednesday,
of last week. Singing by the Nor
mal chbir, aud a very appropriatly
worded prayer by the Rev. J. T.
Baird, of Brownville, were of the? op
ening exercises. There were but
three graduates, and we first listened
to an extremely well reeifed essay
from Miss Lydia Bell, of Pawnee
county. She held her manuscript in
iiev hand but made no use of it. She
was just twenty minutes iu the per
formance of her part. She has a full
and well disciplined voice. Her into
nations, inflections and emphasis are
faultless. In fact she is well nigh an
orator in full dress. Her subject was
"Miiris Battlcficlds,"aud a cory step
she convinced her hearers that upon
this field she was a true warrior, and
had subdued the opposing forces "and
usurped the citadel of the ideal do

superiority over other created objects,
from the fact that he has a mind
which may bo developed, expanded,
broadened and enlarged, without lim
it. Man derives his knowledge, not
only through the senses but by every
faculty. He reasons, memorizes, re

from the premises which are estab

ringly arrives at other facts upon
which he speculates and theorizes un
til other fields of thought equally
grand are fought and won as any sub

and physical nature should be thor
oughly and harmoniously developed.
In natural relations thcie is no con
flict. Man formed iu the imageofhis
Creator is led to do wrong more than
otherwise, from the fact of the inor
dinate development of one power or
faculty of his nature, and being over
another. Every wroug done or sin
committed by so much he has

CONSTITUTION AI CONVENTION
.MUNICH A I. All.
Editor Advertiser: There are many
matters now under consideration by
the Constitutional Convention in ses
sion at Lincoln, about which the peo
ple, and particularly the press of the
State, should express themselves to
the end that delegates may be the bet
ter enabled to comply with the wish
es of their constituents. Perhaps
there is nothing of more importance
to the whole State than that municip
al aid to works of internal improve
ment. The Convention is clo&elv di
vided on tiie question of total and en
tire prohibition. While the people of
this young anil yet to be developed
State, are anxious that all possible
protective restrictions bo thrown
around matters of this kind, 1 am
sure they are not prepared to endorse
a policy of entile prohibition. We
are just entering upon a course of
Rail Road improvements aud devel
opment, without which migration
ceases; and worse, we loose the great
er and better portion of our present
population. This class of works of
improvement are only constructed in
this age, by means first, of liberal aid
on the part of localities directly in
terested. The people are the sov
erign powerjunder our system of gov
ernment, and should at all times be
permitted to express themselves. It
is argued that A. has no legal right to
impose a tax on U. against his will.
As well might it be said that C. has
no right to interfere in case A. mur
ders B. or destroys his property. Our
system of government is called Deui-ocratic-'a
form of government iu
which the supreme power is lodged
in the bauds of the people collective
ly" majorities govern, and "the
greatest good to the greatest number"
are American axioms. There are fra
ternity interests which cau only be se
cured and maintained by the exer
cise of such principles.
I repeat, while all possible healthy
limits, restrictions aud guards should
be thrown around municipal action
in directions herein referred to, pro
hibition means destruction to the fu
ture of Nebraska. Such a clause iu
the Constitution will jeopardize, if
not defeat adoption. Delegates must
not allow "old fogy," "abstract ideas"
to control them. This is a progres
sive, uevelopiug age, and the people
will move. Advance.

five per cent, of Illinois laud is under
cultivation, while of Nebraska's forty
eight millions of acres but three
fourths of one per ceut, is under cul
tivation. Illinois, from 1SG0 to 1S70, increased
forty-seven per cent, iu her popula
tion, and Nebraska thrco hundred
and eight per cent. Notwithstand
ing this unexampled increase, but
three-fouiths of one per cent, of Ne
braska soil has felt titillations which
the plow produces in such territory.
But speaking of "home," and just
picking up a paper containing the ac
count of Mile. Nilison's singing
"Home Sweet Home," before the Ca
dets at West Point tho other day,
brings to memory the startling fact
that J. Howard Payne, the author of
those beautiful, ever living, never
dyiug lines, had no home. Parties
are very apt to refer to the past as an
age in which merit met with due re
ward, but Payne's case covers the idea
with incontrovertible denial. He
was brim-full of talent, and no sooner
would ho get a consulate or other gov
ern mental position and get settled
down to his work, than he would bo
recalled. In one of his letters he
tells of oftentimes hearing sweet voic
es floating from out of richly furnish-
f ed houses in London, Paris, and oth
er European cities, giving utterance
to his song "Home, Sweet Home"
while the poor author had not a shill
ing to purchase a mtfal or a place
upon which to lay his head. In his
old age he received a consulate to Tu
nis, and thither he went. There, too,
the bewitching strains of his song fell
upon his ears, with any but pleasani
emotions, and at Tunis Payuo died
of a broken heart. His remains
should have been brought "Home,"
but we believe they never were.
To have a home, one's "own vine
and fig tree" is a natural ambition.
lut how few who aspiro so devoutly
therefor have their hopes realized?
One creat trouble is the timidity of
tho masses to stike out into new coun
tries, and inclination to jostle in the
avenues of the larger cities. See for
instance, in your own Chicago. How
many men of small means are there
in the metropolis of Suckerdom that
are paying heavy rents, who could
strike out into Lake, Hyde Park, Cic
ero, or the numberless other suburban
towns, where they could purchase
building lots at low rates and on long
time, and soon enable themselves to
rear residences from which no combi
nation of untoward circumstances
could eject them? The first of May
would be shorn of its terrors were a
portion to do as indicated, aud the
balance strike out ami turn upthc
virgin sod of the western states.
It is tho "hard fisted farmer and
greasy mechanic," to whom our coun
try is Indebted for its increase. In
1790 the census of the United States
showed a population of 3,920,827. By
the census of last yca.T, it appears that
the population of the United States is
now 35,10,000, or about ten times
what it was SO year3 ago. Tlie popu
lation of Kew York State alone,
which is 4,370,000, exceeds that of the
entiro Union in 1790, and Illiuois
with its 2,5-10,000 stands but a little
over a million behind the original
thirteen suites in iyu. ji we go on
at the same rate of increase for the
next eighty years that wehaveshown
ince 1790, we shall become the most
populous nation on this globe except
ing China. But tho new states must
be filled up. Farmers anil mechanics
are wanted to open them. Capital'
always follows labor. A large stretch
of country dividing the Missouri Riv
er from the Pacific Coast invites the
millions, a region sulllcient to ac
commodate with homes all the peo
ples of Europe.
But the weather is so warm that we
cannot write more, aud the extreme
heat will probably account for the in
coherence of what we have written.
With shirt sticking to one's person
with disgusting tenacity and the seat
of a gentleman's pantaloons describ
ing the operations of a sprinkling
wagon, writing is anything but a la
bor of love. So for the meantime we
will put aside our pen on .s:ih-eribiug
ourself the Sun's true friend.
