The republicans HofNebraskal most heartily endorse the profession of principles formulated by the NatlanaLRepubllcan con vention at Chlcago.Jind pledge their uuwav erlng support to the candidates there nomi nated. 2. We-afflrm.that.the'doctrlno of national sovereignty Is tho fundamental pilnclple upon which the perpetuity of the nation rests, and that the principle of home rule as enunciated by tho democratic party Is but the cautions expression of the Calhoun doo trlnes of state rights; Is revolutionary In Its oharacter and destructive to tho unity of the nation. 3. Werejardttiereoenl-solzureofthepolls and wholesale robbery of the franchises of tho republican oltlzenslof Alabama, by the democratic natty, officials, surpassing In magnitude and effect any of the crimes in former efforts of that party under the Tweed plans In New York and theMlssIssIppl plan In the south, asa fair specimen of democrat ic method and a forecast of democratic dom inance In national affairs, that should incite every honest man and tax-payer In the country to the most earnest ondeavor io.de feat the party oCproy and. fraud, at the polls In November. 4. We have considered "what Lee and Jackson would have done if they were alive," and have determined to employ our best energies In preventlnglthe seizure of the national government by their living com rades through tho fraud of a "solid south." 5. We congratulate the peoplejof the state upon Its rapid lncrease'of population and wealth, and upon the good measure of pros perity that has rewarded'thelr labor, and upon the rapid rebuilding of our material Interests since thesucoess of resumption and tho revival of trade. 6. We pledge our support to such legisla tion in congress, and such measures byrstate legislatures, as may be necessary to effect a correction of tho abuses and prevent ox to ra tion and XJeacimlnaUcn.In charges by rail road corporations. 7. We most cordially Inv'lo tho aid and oo-operatlon In this defense of the national Integrity aud the nation's purse, of all repub licans and wac democrats who have differed with us on temporary Issues, or have clung to a party name. Mr. J. F. Coulter, of Fillmore county, of fered the following; Retolved, That wo hearUlyJolc.ln.tb- rec ommendation made by Gen. Garfield In his letter of aoceptance, urging upon Congress tho speedy Improvement of the Missouri River for barge navigation. Notice is g'ven by the eastern t.unk railways that full tariff rates are re stored on all east-bound freights. The Republicans of E. B. Wash-burne-'s district, Chicago, have brought him out as a candidate for Congress. Our latest news from Ma'e is to the effect that Plaistedthe fusion can didate for Governor, is elected by about 1,000 major ty; that two out of the five Congressmen aie fusion, and that both branches of the leg'sture will have Republican majorities. Inter Ocean: Yermont, in tne heav iest vote ever polled in the State, gives a Republican majority over all oppo sition of nearly 26,000. The Republi can vote is 48,223, an increase of 11,000 on the vote of 187S, and an increase of 3;600 on the laoge vote of 1870. The Democratic vote is also the largest ever polled in the-State, and shows an increase of 625 on the vote for Govern or in 1876. While the ratio of gain in the Republican ranks is 7 per cent the ratio in the Democratic- ranks is about 3 per cent, Tho Democrats boasted that they would be able to cut .down theRepublfcan majority to 15,000, while the Republicans clafined that their majority would reach 25,000. In an article on the day of election the Philadelphia 'Times said: "Less than 20,000 Republican majority in Vermont to-day would be a fearful wet blanket to. the party and an in crease of the Republican majority of 1876 would be equally chilling to tho Democrats, while the regulation ma jority of Presidential years would be a drawn, battle. The battle of tcday will be-a sqnare fight between the- two- great parties-, and the measure- of ma jority will measure the ebb or flow of the Republican tide: on the national struggle." The- Democratic Party did not aid in Sup- pressing the Eebellicra. One of the most unfounded asser tions now being made by Democrats is that the Democratic party put down the rebellion. The truth is, that party did not even Jielp the Republicans to put it down. That party opnosed the war from beginning to the end, and in no instance did it aid the- friends of the Union. That party in Congress al ways voted against supplies and ap propriations? for the- army, and in its national platforms invariably opposed the measures, and' every measure un dertaken by the government for the suppression of tho rebellion. It is true that here and there in various lo calities and States there were individ uals who called themselves Democrats who went out to fight their brother Democrats, but in so doing they vio lated the principles of their party, the chief one of which promulgated by the then head of their party, Buchanan, was that there was "no power in the J government to coerce a State." It is unnecessary to quote from their plat forms, in which they declared the war a failure, in the darkest days of the rebellion, and threw every obstacle in the way of success for the Union. The people do not forget the history the Democrats have made the old people do nt,,and the young-may read it, for it is recorded and will stand for all time that the Democratic party inaug urated the rebellion, nourished it, and supported the rebels. The Democratic party both Xorth and South did this; and there is no getting, around nor evading the charge that we make, be cause history makes it, that the Demo cratic party instead of helping the Republican party to wliip the rebels and save the Union, took the other side and aided the rebels and favored the dissolution of the union. The Democratic party cannot blot out its damning, record, as some: would be pleased to do. Inter Ocean: There is no common need that the government can remedy so easily as by furnishing the people with a fractional currency that can be sent through the mails. We do not want to lose our silver pocket money, but we want a paper currency too. Major Powers,, the accomplished; Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department, has made a suggestion, which, while open to criticism and improvement, is deserving of careful consideration. He psoposos that there shall be a spec ial issue of legal tender one and two dollar notes, which shall be printed on their face as they now are, but that the back shall be dividetfinto-four separate notes, each, with the obligation of the gove.ament. The plan is that these notes shall go into circulation as a whole, and. that persons who desire to use fractions of a dollar may. cut the notes, and that the parts shall ul timately find the'r way to theRedemp tion Bureau. It is the present custom of the Treasury to redeem parts of a legal-tender note for their proportion ate valuer The Globe suggests that Chmch Howe pay attention to his election first rather than speakership of the house; to cook a hare says a modern cook book "first catch the hare." -Lincoln Globe. Tot a month previous to our county convention the Globe daily had some d'-Ly fling at Church Howe and the Advertiser. We na;d little atten tion to it because it never in a single item told the truth, thus huiting no body do wn this way, but rendering itself "idiculous by its manifest ignorance of what it was tailing about. We-supposed that after the convention it would have sense enough to "hold up" and not place itself inaoiagomsm with the Republicans of Xemaha county, but we see it is not disposed to da so, but wiU try to defeat M-. Howe, one of oui Republican nominees. Now we will inform iho Globe that Howe will "catch the hare." And ihat long-eared enlarg ed prototype of the jack rabit who edtis the Globe, and Drays far in Mr. Howe's rear, can't help it. In 1876 Hayes carried Maine by 16, 3S3 majority over Tilden. In 1S78 there were tlijeo- candidates for Gov ernor. Connor, Republican, received 56,519 votes; Smth, Greenbacker, 41, 404; G'arceion, Democratic, 27.S72. The combined vote over Conner was 12-, 757. In 1879 the Republican voio fo Governor S8.7CG; the Greenback: vote was 47,590; tho Democratic voce was 21,668. Combined opposition to the Republican it will be observed was re duced f com the vote of '78 to a majo " ty of only 492; This yearit seems that the fused opposition have ga:ned a l't tle on Governor, leaviog the Congress ional representation as it was, and the Republicans a large majority in the legislature. State elections ;n Maine are unsertam as to majo it-es, but for President she casts her electo-al vote for the Republican ticket. GarGc'd is more certain to carry that State than was Hayes. There is no doubt about that. St-ll thoy come. The Oltmnwa (la) Courier sa3s: John B. Ennis, heretofore a promin ent democrat of this- city, having once been elected city solicitor on the demo cratic ticket, has pronounced for Gar field and Arthur. We a'-e informed that some fifteen or twenty more dem ocrats of this city have said" they should support the republican ticket. W. C. Eoss o Eddy ville, this county, a former mayor of that city elected on the democratic ticket, has come out for Garfield and Arthur. m The next State elections will ocenrr ; Colorado, first Monday in October r In diana, Ohio and West Virginia, second Tuesday of October,. 5th day. Balance of the States that have not held State efectrons will hold them on president ial election day, Tuesday November 2d. The following is an extract from tho letter of a man who was. formerly a Democrat and an officer in an Indiana m regiment, but now a resident of Merid ian, Mississippi, to the Indianapolis Journal: "I feel it my duty to write to you tliis- letter in the hour of our desperate need. There is no free speech here. Everything is under the control of the old secession leaders. I was ordered to leave Pelahatchie (Miss) a few days since because I remarked that Garfield is a good man. I was informed in Butler, Alabama, that if I was not a Democrat I must leave the town. I was in both places on busi ness. The old Thirty-fifth know me and I ask the boys to vote the way they fought. I will never vote another Democratic ticket so long as God spares my Is fe." Every intelligent Democrat must know that free speech, free expression of opinion and free, fair elections are not permitted in any of the Southern States: and every intelligent Democrat who claims, as we often hear, that there is as much freedom in those States as in the Novth. knowingly and wilfully utters falsehood. It is the strangest thing to us that Democrats who are apparently honest and truth ful upon other matters, will stand up in the face of truth as clear as the noon day sun and wontonly lie about the condition of the people in the South. They certainly know that a cause de pending on the most palpable false hood, while it may meet with tempor ary success, must be ultimately over thrown by the honest masses who have been deceived and wronged. Here is more testimony from an Ar kansas paper, the Helema Yeoman, of late date: "The man who th'nks he can lead an opposition agaust the organized De mocracy of Phillips county is not only presumpt:ous but ei cremely bold. He will requ:re a body guard equal to the whole number of voters in the Demo cat:c ranks, and a Cibni'tar in his rear on tho day cf election." What does such a wanirg mean? It certainly cacnot be construed to mean that every man, every party, may freely present the'r claims and prin c'ples'to a free and untraraeled constit uency? No, the man who dares ad vocate anything but Democracy will not only be "prestempttious but extreme ly bold" and Iho presumptuous fellow who is so bold as to claim h's rights as an American c!tlzen to be a Repub lican or a Greenbacker, and advocate his principles, will need a "Gibralter" to back him up. Ca Tying out the un democratic teachings of the Yeoman, which is ihe Souihe-a idea, plan and practice eveiywheie is how the Green backers in Arkansas were defeated on the 6th inst., by more than forty thous and majov:ty. Weaver had been down there, and there was real danger that the State would elect tbe Greenback Governor, hence such ''presumption" was nipped in the bud, and a fair elec t:on denied. Here is another rich morsel for De mocracy, taken from the Memphis Av a anche: "We do not advocate (any longer) the use of the shotgun or the bull-whip, but we do hold that tbe white or black Republican should be regarded as a so cial leper to be shunned, despised and hated that, in future, he should re ce;ve no favor or recognition that the 'ast farthing should be relentlessly ex acted, and that all kindness of manner toward him should cease." Is not this a p--etty advocacy for a leading city and Scate paper. Tho Av alanche is to the city of Memphis anil tbe South what tbe Inter Ocean and the New York T'.viine are to Chicago, New York city and tbe North. What would the readers of those latter pa pers in the Republican North think if they should prmtsuch inhuman recom mendations? They would regardit as insult to the:r loyalty to a Republican government, and their education which has imbued them with principles of justice and the sacredness of every man's right to think and vote as he pleases. But the Ark lanelie, lacking such ennobling principles, touches a re sponsive cho d in tho hearts of its thousands of readers who also lack such pri-ic'pres, holding the success of party above all human, lawful or con stitutional rights. The following is an extract from the speech of an Alabama Democratmade in a joint discussion with Randall, the g'eenbacker: "The confederacy still er'sfcs, my trends, and JeM. Dav-s, the best mead we evec had, is yet our president ?nd devoted to ouc interests, and if Han cock is elected, and we have no doubt he will be, you wiU be paid for a'l the property you have lost through rad'ea. rule, and you must stand bv the great democratic paty, for a so!;d south will now give us the ent're control of tho general government, and we can redress all wrongs." The Democratic crowd present ap plauded these senseless remarks, and tho greenbacker was discurbed aad compelled to leave the platform before he had finished h's speech. And so we might go on and fill our columns with such extracts, proving, beyond all question, what the leading Democrats of the South preach and their followers practice. The Democratic paper and the Re publican paper of Staunton, Va., who heard Wade Hampton's speech agree exactly upon the sentiment taught and ve?y nearly upon tho eact words he used; yet a'ter it was seen that the sneech was doing bad work in the Nortfe. Hampton denies that he uttered any such words or senvraents. The deoiaTnow is hunting the cause South. So Hampton is disgusted and declines to make any more speeches for the ed ification of nothe ! audiences. Governor Cornell has- expressed his opinion on New York. He says the State will be as certain to cast her electoral vote for Garfield and Arthar as election day comes. The Governor was for years chairman of the Re publican State Cental Committee, un derstands better than any other man the situation, and his opinion therefore is worih something: I MEEE MENTION.

Landers is giving tho people of Indiana Democracy straight from the shoulder. 'A Cincinnati Commercial correspondent furnishes the following sample: Franklin Landers, Democratic can didate for Governor of Indiana, deliv ered a speech to the citizens of Perry county (Ind.,) at Connelton, on Satur day,; 28th ult, in which he said: "When Gen. Hancock is elected he will carry the Government back to where it was when the Republicans got it." As he will no doubt attempt to revise his speech, like Hampton, I give you the names of responsible men who were there and heard him utter the words: James Winchell, William Weather holt, Graham Polk, B. Sanders, James Weatherholt, all residing in Tobins port, Indiana. "When the Republicans got it" what did they find? They found 4,000,000 slaves and a quarrel on hand as to whether slavery sliould be confined within tlio original limits or spread over the free soil of the North. They found a bankrupt treasury and shin plasters, called money in every State and a "bank note detector" on every counter; and the hardest times among the people they ever saw. They found well what's the use of bringing up in itemized detail the accursed condition of the country in the days of Buchanan who gave the Democratic reign its fin ishing touch? We don't want the gov ernment carried back to where it was when the Republicans got it. God save the people from going back, but let progress, and forward be the words. Democratic editors and orators are attempting to answer the charge of in tended unsettlement of the war issues on their part by calling attention to the fact that the reconstruction acts' have been sustained by the Supreme Court, and that that tribunal is largely Re publican in politics. But how about the Democratic Supreme Court pro posed by a bill now pending before .-Congress, introduced by Mr. Manning,1 of Mississippi, a rebel Brigadier? It provides that the Supreme Court shall ensist of twenty-one Judges, instead of nine as at present; that they shall be divided into three co-equal sections of seven each any one section to be ea- paoie or aeciuing any matter not in volving a constitutional question, but that on all constitutional questions the whole twenty-one shall sit With tho twelve new Judges to be appointed by a Democratic President if elected, the Court would consist of fourteen Demo crats and seven Republicans. It is very easy to imagine how such a tribu nal would decide, any of tho war ques tions. It would not require a wholo year for it to fulfill Congressman Blackburn's prediction, aud wipe from the statute books every vestage of war legislation. This is tho feast to which the election of Hancock invites us. Globe-Democrat. How the Oopporhs&ds Expect to VT i. Washington, Sept. 10. It is rumor ed that ageuts representing Messrs.

A few days ago, and previous to the Vermont election, the New York Her ald said: The Vermont Republicans are san guine that they will hold their own. The proper criterion forestimatingthe result is their majority in the Presiden tial -election of 1S76, the last occasion which brought out a full vote. The majority of Hayes over Tilden was 23,838, and in the State election which preceded the Republican majority was about the same namely, 23,785. If they should fall considerably short of this to-day, after the vigorous canvass that has been made, their loss will be interpreted as a proof that General Hancock's brilliant record as a soldier and a patriot is reducing Republican voters from their party allegiance, and if it is potent to produce such an effect in Vermont it may be equally potent in the doubtful States. But if, on the other hand, the returns of to-day's elec tion shall show that General Hancock has made no impression, or nest to none, on the Republicans of the Green Mountain State, it will be evident that he has nothing to rely on but the prop er voting strength of the unrecruited Democratic party. That was before the election, and the Republican majority is larger than it was four years ago. The placing of Hancock at the head of the ticket has not draw i off any Republican votes; the party has not held its own and Hancock is a weaker candidate than Tilden. That is what we have believed all along. Tilden was a statesman, h&had a "barrel,'" he was a great managerand the Independents believed in '76 that he was really a reformer, as he claimed to be. Hence his large vote every where. Hancock, on the other hand, is not a manager, not a statesman, not a reformer. He is only a puppet in the hands of the rebel managers. Oregon and Vermont have voted. Maine will follow next week. It will then be seen that the nomination of Hancock was a very weak one. He gains no Republi can, no independent strength, and does not poll his full party Yote. The New York Stm said before the election: k Death has been at work among the veterans; but scattered among the Green Mountains there still survive several thousand men who fought un der Hancock or in near neighborhood to him. And it thought they would vote for him, but the Union soldiers are not for Hancock in any part of the country. They think he was a good General, but they know that it was the rebels who nominated him, and that fact is enough. The Boston Advertiser, Republican, spoke as follows before the Vermont election : It was openly claimed thaj if Han cock was nom.nated the usual Repub lican majority in Vermont would be reduced by thousands, and after Han cock was nominated there were Demo crats who talked as if he would win 10,000 men from the Republican ranks. That was in the early days of the Han cock boom. There is no such talk now, and Jias been none since the campaign was fairly opened. Hancock's name has proved powerless to strengthen the Democratic party in the State; on the other hand, the spectacle of the solid south advancing to tike possession of the national government has aroused the people of that old State as they have not been aroused since, in 1864, the Democratic party declared the war for tho Union a failure, and, with its real purposes masked by tho nomina tion of another Union soldier, attempt ed to obtain power. The challenge of fered by the Democracy was promptly accepted. Those were wise and truthful words. Every Northern State will cast its vote for Garfield. The end is seen in the beginning. m Just on the eve of the election in Vermont, the Lincoln Globe came to the lelief of the country by informing it that "The State is Republican beyond all question!" Then the American Na tion took a long breath and was happy. How couldEatonhave known so much ? or was it rough guess-work? or has he tl-e gift of prophesy? Probably he is a clairv07a.it W hatever is the mat ter with him ho is certainly a useful th'ng to havo around to tell people what they don't already know. Now there woro his string of predictions about Church Howe. Of course Eaton can't hit it every time as he did in the Ve-mont- matter, and he failed on Howo nearly evory pop. He said Howe was "laid on Hie shelf;' that the Re publicans didn't want him, and he mado a picture of himself as ho left tho Bloomingtonjland office, and said it was Howo traveling, over to the Democrats, and while ho was yet down clawing in the mud to further illus trate his wonderful foresight into Ne maha politics, there was a flash of lightning rom Nemaha, and booking upward he saw even Church Howe about a million feet above him stand ing in the clean, clear sunlight, waving a Garfield banner, and in the attitude of going on up. Then Eaton did rage and rend his check shirt; for h:s rep utation as a seer Was jeopardized But he slaked again on Vermont and won, thus renaming: his status as a man of vasl and wonderful acumen. O, Eat on, Eaton, nowr just pull down your yest, and tell us whether Iowa is a Re publican State or not. .Refuses to Debate. Holt Conftty.ScnOnfll. Down at St. Joseph the Greenbackers have got Jim Craig "on the hip." They have challenged him to a discussion with Milt Singleton a noted Green backer of that city. The joke is that in tho way of telling broad stories and raising a laugh among "the boys," Sin gleton can double discount Craig every time.

It is said that several Democratic papers are delist ed at the fact that tiie conspiracy to in jure Porter in Indiana was exposed the very day it was published m In diana.

Senator Morgan and two ex-detectives went at the matter in such a buncline manner here that there was no difficulty in finding out their object, hence the exposure. HE RESIGNED. WASHINGTON, bept. 7. A 3'Olinjr fire-eater named Jerry Horn, one of the proprietors of -the Merulian QIiss.)

THE nUNTER'S PARADISE!- Spirit Lake, Iowa, Sept. G. Thi3 is one of the loveliest spots in America, and certainly to a hunter the seek-no- further, the "happy hunting ground" of his dreams. Tnero is game here in abundance. Chickens fly up from the ground at almost every step, and hun ters are flocking here from all direc tions. There are only two camps large ones of any importance Cran- dalls Lodge, at the head of the lake, and Camp Alexander. The campers at the latter place are almost excln-' sively hunters, and such jolly times as they have. All the tents are festoon ed with ducks and chickens, and their bones lie all a'ound in pathetic little heaps. It is certainly marvelous the amount offish and game tired boys can get out side of. The fishing is fine. The lake is full of splendid bass and pickerel and one has oniy to drag his line to pull up a fish. " Tne scenery about the lakes is del'giful ; there are two of them Spirit and Okoba ji soi arated only by a narrow strip of land, just wide enough for a caiTiageto cross, and one of the loveliest views I ever saw can be had from the middle of this natural bridge, looking up Spirit Lake. Asido from the lakes, how ever, the "scenery" consists of wide, unbroken stretches of grass and sky; not a slope, not a tree, not a gleam of water for miles and miles. The country is improving rapidly and fast filling up. There are livelv towns and villages all around. the crop or SPRING WHEAT. Chicago, Sept. 10. The Commer cial Bulletin presents returns from 210 counties in the north west as to the condition and amount of the spring wheat crop. They say it seems evident that the cultivation of winter wheat is coming into greater fafor xi the north west, especially in the older agricul tural districts. Tne larmers appear also to have enlarged their corn area at the expense of spring wheat. The yield of the latter is, however, greater than in 1ST9. The old crop is sold very close, much closer than usual. The total yield in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, "Wisconsin, and Dakota Territory, reck oned on the basis of returns recieved, is 147,731,000" bushels of spring wheat, against 120,460,000 last year, and the average per acre is laT.oST against 12.13 in 1S79. Theaferage is 1.40 greater than in 1870'. m Carry the ITews to Jim. Mentor, O., Sept. 8. The following dispatches were received by Gen. Gar field: Burlington, "Vt., Sept 7. Hon. Jas. A.

John Shermnw in a recant speech said: "A still more dangerous horde of claim agents now haunting Washing ton, already keen for plunder and versed in all the tricks of the trade, will seek to open the doors of the Treasury ta the brood of Southern claims which. despite otiroverfiowing revenues, will bankrupt the Treasury in a year. Thus far during: this administration the gate has been put down and barred against all these claims. The statute of limita tions and the' decisions of the depart ment have cut them off; but under a Democratic administration of the Treasury Department how easv it would be to break down the barrier. I know from my personal knowledge a number of claim agents, influential men, who will vote for Hancock on the ground that his election will enable them to recover claims now barred. All that is needed to cause the refund ing of the cotton tax, amounting to $08,000,000, is an appropriation, jiforft of the members from the south, thronch their constituents, are interested in these claims. A slight extension of the period of limitation as to claims for captured and abandoned cotten will open up tens of millions of this class of claims." The ?e a-e words of truth. and wis dom.
