WitKK, in the economy of Providence, this land
as to be purged of human slavery, and when the
strencth of the govenment of the people, by the
people, for the people, was to be demonstrated, the
Itepublican party camcinto power. Itsdeeds have
passed Into history, and w e look back to them with
pride. Iuclcted by their memories and high aims
for the good of our country and mankind, and look

I The United btates of America i a nation, not a
league. Uy the combined workings of the National
the rights of every citizen are secured at
home and protected abroad, and the common wel
fare promoted.
J. The Itenublican party has preserved those
governments to the hundredth anniversary of the
nation's birth, and they are now the embodiments
or the great truths spoken at its cradle: That all
men are croated equal : that they are endow ed by
their Creator with certain Inalienable rights,
among wliich are life, liberty, and the pursuit or
hnppjncss; that for the attainment of these ends
gov emments have been Instituted among men. de
riving their Just powers- from the consent of the
gov erned uatil those truths are cheerfully obeyed
or. If needed to be. vigorously enforced, the work
or the Republican party is unfinished.
3. The permanent pacification or the Southern
section of the Union, and the complete protec
tion of its -citizens in the free enjojment of all
their rights are duties to which the Itepubli
can pnrtv stands sacredly pledged. The power to
provide for the enforcement of the pliclples em
bodied In the recent constitutional amendments Is
vested bv those amendment in tho Congress ot
the United States, and we declare It to be the sol
emn obligation or the legislative and executive de
partments of the government to put Into immedi
ate and vigorous exercise all their constitutional
powers for removing any just cause of discontent
on the part or any class and securing to every
American citizen complete liherty and exact equal
ity In the exercNe of all civil, political, and public
rights. To this end we imperatively demand a
Congress and a chief executiv e w hose courage and
lldelity to these duties shall not falter until these
results are placed beyond dispute or recall.
4. In thelir-anctot Congress signed by President
Grant, the National Government assumed to re
move any doubts or Its duty to discharge all lust
obligations to public creditors, and solemnly pledg
ed its faith to make provision at tne earliest practi
cable period the redemption of Unlt'-d fctatcs notes
In coin. Commerclalprosperity.prolic morals.nnd

by a continuous and steady progress to specie

and the House of Representatives Is to accuse and

orthe public cf vice demand that these distinctions
be respected : that Senators and Representatives
who may bejudges and accusers should not dictate
appointments to ofllce. The invariable rules for
appointments should have reference to honesty, fi
delity, and capacity to the appointee, giving to the
party In power those places where harmony and
vigor of administration, requires its policy to be pre
sented, and pcrmittingallothers tone tilled bysolfc
reference to the efficiency of the public service and
the right of all citizens to share in the honor of ren

to modify existing treaties With European govern

ef in the States for that purpose,
11. It is the immediate duty of Congrees to fully
Investigate the effect or the immigration and Im
portation of Mongolians upon the moral and ma

12. The Republican parfy recognizes with approv

many important amendments effected by Repub
lican legislation In thda-Vs whtch concern the per

and widows, and by the appointment and election
of women to the superintendence of education,
charters, and other public trusts. The honest de
mands of this class of citirens for additional rights
aud privileges and immunities, should be treated
with respectful consideration.
IX The Constitution confers upon Congress sover

fortlteir government, and In the exercise or this
power it is the right and the duty of Congress to
prohibit aud extirpate in the Territories that relic

islation as shall secure this end and the supremacy
of American Institutions In all the Territories.
Hi The pledges which the nation has given to our
soldiers aud sailors must be rulfllied. The grateful
people will always hold those who periled their
lives for the country's preservation in the kindest
remembrance.

Extracts from Mosby's Letter.
I thought you knew that I ceased to
be a confederate1 soldier about eleven
years ago and became a citizen of the
United States. Theground on which
you urge tne to support Tiiden and
Hendricks is that they are the candi
dates of tho southern people and will
be under their control. Now, It Is be
cause this thing is apparent that the
election of Tilden is an impossibility.
The sectional unity of the southern
people has been the governing idea and
bane of their politics and cause of most
of the evils they have suffered. Bo
long aS it continued the war will bo a
controlling element of politics, and
tho south being the weaker must be
the losing party. The reconstruction
measures Hecessarily divided parties
in the south on a color line, for the
issue they presented was the political
equality of the races. Do you not see
that as long as we keep up the fight on
the old lines, with the same allies and
the same battle cries, the north will
be suspicious of our good faith, no
matter with what form we protest it.
I concur with you In a desire for a
change in the policy of tho govern
ment towards tho south, but that can
only come from a chnngd In the atti
tude of the southern people towards
the administration.
You eay that no one in the south Is
supporting Hayes but negroos and
carpet-baggers. If this were so, I
should still vote for the candidate of
my choice, and would not let this class
deprive me of it. They Bupport Hayes
because they think it would be equal
ly to tho Interest of all the southern
people to do tho same thing
But you say that, even admitting it
would be better for them to do so, yet
as they will not, I ought to surrender
my individual convictions to tho will
of the majority. I don't think eo. It
is better for some to go right than for
all to go wrong.
Besides, you say that if Tilden Is
eleeted lie will be under the control of
the confederates. But suppose Huyes
is elected, with n solid south against
him what are you going to do then?
It was for these reasons that four
years ago I urged the southern people
that if they really desired peaoe and
reconciliation to bury their passions,
resentments and support a man who
was not only the representative of an
overwhelming majority of the North,
but was the most powerful as he hud
been the mo3t generous, of our foes.
Having predicted all sorts of evil to
result from the election of Grant, they
have done all in their power to make
their predictions come true.
You speak of thb bitter hostility of
the North toward the South. Well,
four years of hard fighting is not cal
culated to ranko men love each other.
I know as well a3 3'ou whattheSouth
ern people have had to endure ; but
tliis has been the experience of every
conquered people. It will always re
main so. The wound of war, timealone
can heal, but many grievauces could
long ago have been corrected by ceas
ing to oppose the inevitable. Mr. La
mar, in his recent speech in the house,
said that what the south wanted was
local self-government. I thought the
south had it. If it has not, how did
he get into congress?
If you wish to know then, the
ground of my support of Hayss, it is
this Any good which tho southern
people might derive from the election
of Tilden would equally result from
their iupporl of Hayes They can
vote for Hayes, but they can't elect
Tilden. But I am far from thinking
that the election of a democrat, even
if such a thing were possible, would
be an unmixed blessiug to the south.
The very remote prospect has already
excited hopes and expectations that
can never be realized. If such a thing
should occur as the election of a pres
ident by a united south combiuiag
with a mere fragment of tho north it
would simply revive the old conflict
of the sections. A transformation has
taken place In the state of parties.
The republican now represents the
principle of conservatism, while I can
conceive no worse forni of radicalism
than the reactionary movements that
would fall on a Bourbon restoration.
No one desires more than I do that the
south should get Its full share of the
benefits and exerefse a just Influence
in tho administration of the govern
ment. But this canno bo done by
voting for Tilden.
But the democrats are going to re
build everything If they get posses
sion of the government, they say?
Has there been one single abuse ex
posed for which the democrats have
not established a precedent? Do you
think that a higher standard of mor
ality would prevail in publio life by
transferring the Influence of Tammany
Hall to Washington? Has that been
a proper sohcol to educate reformers V
I know nothing' of Gov. Tilden ex
cept that he has long been the leader
of his party In New York, whose col
ossal robberies have been the oppro
brium of American politics. When
Gov. Tilden has purified politics in
his own 6tate It will be time enough
then ti turn his attention to th6 na
tional administration. It Was only
cfoout twelve months ago that Tweed
was released onhabeas corpus by a
deoislon of the New Ywk court of ap
peals, composed of seven democratic
judges. Charles O'Conor, at the time,
charged that tho decision was procur
ed through the influence of Tweed's
money. Hero was a splendid case for
an investigation, far exceeding la
enormity the sale of a sutlershlp; yet
these judges remain unimpeached and
are still wearing the ermino of justice.
BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1876.
I allude to this fact to show the tone
of political morality of the party of
which Gov. Tilden has been the ac
knowledged head ever since tho re
tirement of Tweed. He proposes to
reform the civil service; but how?
By a change in the system of appoint
ments? Not at all; but by filling the
offices with his partisans, who will
flock to Washington "as fierce as
famine and hungry as the grave,"
When the offlces havo thus been all
filled somebody will have to reform
the reformers. The character of such
bogus pretenders is well described In
the language of Junius, as "resembl
ing the termagant ohastlty of a prude
who, while she prosecutes one lover
for rape, invites the lewd embraces of
another." Any observer' can see that
those who have been most forward in
exposing corruption are now the most
earnest in supporting' Hayes.
I know very well the measure of de
nunciation which these' sentiments
will receive from the people in whose
cause I shed my blood and sacrificed
the prime of my life. Be It so. To
those who now assail me I reply, in
the language of Burk9 when charged
with deserting his constituents iu op
posing the American war, "I did not
obey your Instructions. No, I con
formed to tlie Instructions" of truth
and nature and maintained your inte
rests against your opinions. I am, in
deed, to look at your opinions, but
such opinions as you and I must have
fi vo years hence. I am not to look at
the flash of the day."
She Thought She Knew.
Tho passengers iu tho sleeping
coach werejust dozing off when some
thing howled out:
"Ow wow wow !"
"Great draggons! there's a young
one aboard," growled a fat man from
his upper berth, "I'll beta hundred
dollars none of us get n wink of sleep
to-night."
"Wow wow!" whined tho child.
"There he goes again," growled the
fat man. "I never travel but what I
run across some one's offspring."
"Who's that talking?" called the
mother of the child in a loud voice.
"iMe," answered tho fat man.
"Why don't yoU either leave that
child at Home, or stay at home your
self?" "Are you talking to me?" demand
ed the women.
"Yes, ma'am, I am ! I say it Is a
shame to bring a sick child into a
sleeping car to disturb weuty or thir
ty people." ,r
"Are yn,t' -.w.er V dUe askcfj.
"No, Ihalnt."
"Nora mother?" she continued."
"No, ma'am."
"Well, sir," she said, as she poked
her head out between tho curtains,
"when you've been tho mother of
eleven children, moved forty-eight
times, lived iu nine different states,
aud worn one corset right along for
seventeen years, you'll begin to think
you know your own business. I think
I know mine, and if this baby wants
to howl he's going to do it, if I havo
to come over there and kick a ton of
conceit out of you."

the other day only to learn tha.t his
wife was married to a Trenton man,
and that his little boy sold ham saud

Sadly the heart-brokeu man dragged
himself to the lattice and looked In at
his wife baking slapjacks for another
individual in a corduroy suit. Then
he went back to the hotel, his eyes
filled with moisture, took three fin

The Astors A Jfew Cathedral The

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
New York, August 2o, 1S7G.
THE ASTORS.
John Jacob Astor, the eon of Will
iam B., is arranging for a monument
to his father, 6r rather the deceased
Astors, which will have no parallel
in this country. It Is nothing lees
than an alter In old Trinity Church,
the designs for which are now being
made In Munioh, and which Is to cost
over $100,000.
A GRAND CATHEDRAL.
Speaking of churches, tho Episco
palians whose interests He up town
have determined to build a cathedral
that' will eclipse in size any one in the
United States. They have selected
a tract of ground up timong the fash
ionables, (those Wh'o'go to heaven In
in purple and fine linen If they don't
break up before they can get their
property In the name of their wives,)
and proposed to raise $2,000,000 and
erect thereon such a cathedral as will
put the Catholics even to utter shame
and make the Jewish Synagogue look
small. It will cover an entiro block,
and will havo everything known to
ecclesiastical architecture that money
can buy. The sum neoessary to In
sure its erection is now almost raised,
and it is expeoted to commence it next
Epring.
TllE JEWS.
Speaking of religious denomina
tions, the Catholics, who are by all
odds the poorest of the denominations,
can build the biggest churches and
raise money the easiest. The vast
body of laborers, and servant
girls, the poorest paid and closest
living of all the laborers In the coun
try, contribute money to build vast
cathedrals and churches most expen
sively fitted and furnished. With
these giving Is made a religious duty,
and when tho priesthood calls, the
money Is paid whithout a murmur.
The Jews, without being under the
control of a priesthood, nor subject to
any Influence aside from a belief in
their religion and a devotion to it,
build the most gorgeous church edi
fices of all. Their new synagogue on
oth Avenue is the most honor to them
as a people, and It will be a long time
before it will be eclipsed. They arc
more wealthy, per capita, than any
race on the continent, and the ortho-
I dox Jew believes In his religion with
all tho fervor of a Catholic, with
the difference that his belief is one
always of Intelligent conviction.
But tho glory Is departing from
Israel. Tho young Israelites are
mingling and mixing with the
Gentiles; they are adopting their
habits and customs, and little by lit
tle Judaism Is losiug its hold up
on them. They neglect the observan
ces of tho Church, they modify its
doctrines, and doubt as to whether its
usages have a binding force. In short,
tho "hickory Jews" are In the majori
ty and the orthodox are groaning in
spirit. Tho Nathan murder is almost
forgotten. The murdered man was
an Israelite of the strictest style. He
kept Saturday,, and in all the observ
ances of the Church was as strict as a
Rabbi. It was the great grief of his
life that his sons were, every one of
them, liberal. They Intermarried
with the Gentiles, they associated
with them, aud in every way refused
to have any of that exclusiveuess
which Is necessary to the perpetuation
of such a system. The young Israel
ites of the city are mostly young Na
thans, and one or two generations
will not destroy Judaism In this coun
try, but It will modify it so that the
difference between it and Unitarian
Ism will be very flight.
POLITICAL.
The Tilden Committees have got
their arrangements completed, and
will commeuce vigorous work at once.
The two States In whiclr the most
work will bo done are, of course, Ohio
and Indiana, and their best speakers
and several barrels cf money will be
sent thither. The strong Congession
al nominations made by the Republi
cans ofjrvv avo disheartened them
sokierfna; as to their prospects In that
State. Their favorite catch-word
Reform,' has no meaning when they
are opposing such men as Cox, Gar
field, Matthews, Force, Monroe, and
Foster. But with a faith in tho stu
pidity of tho people which ia almost
sublime, they will make a desperate
fight for both states, and I warn Re
pulicans thereof that they have no
child's play before them to prevent
"Slippery Sammy" from capturing
at least Indiana. He is as cunning
as a fox, as slippery as an eel, and
with boundless money. The rings
which have plundered New York and
and Brooklyn relentlessly, for so ma
ny years, want the wider opportunity
that the Federal offices Would give
them, and they will pour out money
like water to bring it about. Besides
this is the death-struggle of a great
many aspiring politicians, and you
may all depend upon It, the October
States will be fought over, every inch.
Look out for tramps lu October. These
fellows are moving westward in arm
ies It would be singular if so expert
a manipulator as Mr.' Tilden should
neglect to use them The most of
them were repeaters in New York be
fore the new system oamo into voguer
and they will be used. If they can
carry either Ohio or Indiana they
will have something to go into the
J November fight With, some show of
r i" 1
success, or rather "some encourage
ment. The most thorough canvass
will bo made in Indiana, and every
bit of talent that can bo commanded
will bb thrown into that state. Sena
tor Mortoh displayed his usual judg
ment when ho opeued tho campaign
early, and boldly took the aggressl'e.
He realized the gravity of theissueand
its importance. At their headquar
ters they are Very active. They are
sending out documents by the mill
Ion, and every train takes, westward
speakers and agents, secret and publio.
It will be hot in Indiana this fall.
The Republicans are no less active
Gov. Stewart Woodford who did such
splendid service In Ohio last fall, did
not intend to take the stump this sea
son, but the necessity for carriyng
Indiana and Ohio, has made him re
consider his determination, and he
will devote several weeks to those
states, and all of the best speakers of
East will visit the West as their ser
vices may be required.

Salt Lake City, Utah,
Aug. lGth, 187G.
Just one week since I arrived in the
City of the Suints. Duriug that time
I havo learned much I never knew
before concerning the Mormon theol
gy, aud the customs and habits of the
people many things to us Gentiles
that seem incredible, and we must be
thoroughly convinced to believe. I
attended the Mormon Tabernacle eer
vico at 2 o'clock Saobath afternoon.
This is a wonderful building, having
a seating capacity of 13,000, and more
can be put in If necessary. They tell
me 15,000 have been in it during their
annual conferences or great gather
ings. About 7,000 or 8,000 were there
on Sabbath. This building was com
menced in 1S65, and was ten years
and a half in building. It stands on
a teu-acro lot, surrounded by d high
stone wall, large folding gates on
either side opening Into the enclosure.
The Tabernacle is 150 feet by 250 long,
70 feet to the ceiling, and 80 feet to
the top of roof outside. The roof la
oval in shape, and self-sustaining,
having no braces from the bottom Up.
From the Inside where the plastering
is put on to the shingles on the top, It
is nine feet, and it is said to be strong
enougli to bear the weight of a heavy
train of cars. A large gallery runs
around the entiro building except the
end where the organ stands and set
apart for the singers and church dig
nitaries; Tho building has twenty
doors, nine feet wide, and all open
outward: It Is said by those who
know, that the entire building can be
emptied of its living freight in three
minutes, and I am sure they were all
out In that time on Sunday. The
sacramental service used here was
made twenty-three years ago. There
is quite a history connected with it.
It was made of old silver W3tdbes,
chains, spoons and house silver, all
contributed by the Saints, and made
here in the city by order of Brigham
Young. Six baskets of solid silver,
20 oz. each ; 12 cups, 14 oz. each.
The organ used here is next to the
largest one in the United States. It
was made In the Tabernacle where it
now stands, and all the timber and
material used in its construction was
found or grew here in Utah. It is
quite a curiosity. I was all through
it inside and out. It Is a building in
Itself; 58 feet high at the two front
towers, at at the base 20 by 25 feet. It
has 42 stops, 3,000" pipes, and tho two
largest pipes are 32 feet high by 2 feet
square. It takes four strong men to
pump it. The design is to run it by
water after awhile, but as yet their
arrangements are not perfected1. They
only have one service each Sabbath,
at 2 p.m. Their music and singing is
perfectly grand. They have a choir
of 100' voices; but their preaching is
of the worst possible sort, wherein
Joe Smith, Brigham Young and the
priesthood are lauded to the skies".
The new Temple la being built up
on the same lot. The stone, beautiful
gray granite, are brought from tho
Wasatch Mountains, eighteen miles
VOL. 21 S"0. 10.
gwayr The building is 100 by 200 ft.;
100 feet to the square of the roof, 200
feet lef the top of the two center tow
ers. The foundation is sixteen feet
below the. surface of the ground, and
is sixteen feet thick at the base. The
walls now are up about sixteen feet,
and above the -foundation are nine
feet nine Inches thick. When fin
ished it will be three stories Includ
ing the basement. The Temple, as I
understand it, is not designed as a
place of worship. It will bo divided
into rooms or different departments,
and will be used for ceremonies, ordi
nances, Initiations, &c, and will par
take of the ceremonial character sim
ilar to the old Jewish Temple. One
hundred and seven men are now em
ployed on the building in Its erection.
It is to be finished by the voluntary
contributionsof ZIon's members. The
Gentiles do not believe Brigham In
tends to finish it very soon. It is too
good a scheme to raiso money on, and
he has already collected enough mon
ey to build two or three such temples.
At least this Is the general belief
among the Gentiles out here. It will
take them forty years on the old Jew
ish plan.
Mormonlsm is a mighty fraud, rind
full of corruption. For years tho
Gentile population of Salt Lake City
and tho territory have been trying to
get some legislation that would help
them, but in Congress the leading
Mormons in some way manipulate
the committee or their chairman to
such an extent that the Government
has permitted and fostered this cor
ruption In tho midst of our civilized
and christian land. Their system of
voting holds tho people as slaves to
the church. No secret ballot Is known
In Utah. Women have a right to vote
here, and It has proven a curse to the
territory, for the large majority of
them are Mormons, and under their
present system of voting they dare
not vote against the church ticket.
If they did they would certainly be
found out and punished.
To explain. Suppose I go up to the
polls to vote, My name is recorded,
or registered. Say If you pieaso I am
200, and 199 have voted before me.
When I bring my ticket that No. 200
Is written upon It and put in ; so that
after all have voted, to know how I
voted my name and number is found,
and all they have to do is to Und tlie
corresponding number on the ticket,
and they know just how I voted.
Now suppose I am a Mormon and
scratch my ticket vote for a Gentile.
The church authorities know it, and
I am spotted at once as a suspicious
oharacter, and liable to apostatize, and
somo wholesome discipline becomes
necessary at once. And no gentile
can vote a secret ballot In the territo
ry ; all is known. The anti-Mormons
have been trying for years to get a
secret ballot, but thus far havo failed.
Could they but have this, It would
Btrlko the death blow to Mormon in
fluence, for then a great muny who
are now under the influence of the
church, and compelled to vote that
way, would vote according to their
moral convictions, which would bo
agaiust the priesthood and Brigham
Young. Their religion enters into all
their domestic, social and business
life, and none who profess the faith
can any longer be free men. They
have to listen! and obey the dictates
of the church In buying and selling,
in marriage or divorce. It matters
not what it may be, nothing can be
done if they are good saints, unless
they do as the church may direct
I had tho pleasure, If I may call It
so, of calling on Brigham, and had a
talk of ten minutes with him. Togo
to Salt Lake and come home without
seeing President Young; would be
like going to the circus aud failing to
see tho elephant. He Is now in his
7Gth year, and Is quito robu3t, aud
looks" like he might live for some
years yet. I found him quite genial,
and given to talk much of himself
and people, He was In company with
Elder John Taylor, one of the twelve
Apostles. He thought the Methodist
church was degenerating. They were
getting proud, and their preachers
now havo to' go through college; and
as a result they have lost the spirit. I
thought it would be a grand thing if
somo of their young men and women
could go through college and get their
eyes opened.
The property question Is being agi
tated all over the city and territory,
and Is to bo the great question of the
future. Our courts here have rendered
some decisions against Brigham
Young. The precedent has been es
tablished, and others will try their
luck. Men have comehere with their
thousands and put Jt all in the hands
of the church for safe keeping and in
vestment, and havo never Ceen any
more of it,- but the title is In the
ohurch or Brigham. Gentile lawyers
are being privately consulted, almost
every day, by dissatisfied Mormons,
in reference to these things ; but of
course all is done under a strict prom
ise of secrecy from the legal fraterni
ty. I had a long talk with Judge
McKean, and to him I am largely In
debted for my information, heneo It
is reliable. He it was, you remember,
who granted the alimony to Ann Eli
za Young, and who had thecourage
and will to put Brigham Young in
jail for twenty-four hours. Young
and his Danlte hosts could not intim
idateor bribe this solid old gentleman.
But they hate him, and would kill
hfm if they dare do it.
But I have already written more
than I intended, and might write
rhuoh more, but with a few moro Hues
I shall close. Salt Lake City has be-

Springs, which are said t& escel the
Hot Springs of Arkansas. I went
down In company with some friends
and took a bath, and drank some of
the water. The springs are kept by
Dr. Monroe, an old physician from
California. He is very much of a gen

Lake without takiug one of these

mountain in a perfect stream.

Tomato Wine. We think we can
give a recipe to make a wine said to
be equal to Heldseick. Take small,
ripe tomatoes, pick off the stems, put
them Into a tub, wash them clean,
and then strain them through a linen
bag. One bushel will make five gall
ons of pur6 wine. Add two and a hair"
to three pounds of loaf sugar to each
gallon, then put Into a cask and fer
ment, fix as you do raspberry wltfe.
If two gallons of water be added to (ho
five gallons of juico, it will still mako
a very nice wine. Brown sugar may
be used instead of loaf, but th6 wine
Is much more sparkling when loaf
sugar Is Used.
