the Western Stales are earnestly discus

f the two great Riven to the Pacific. The
propriety of such a project in the minds
of The pecple of the Eastern and older
States, has long iuce Lten settled. Thai
is no longer a subject for considertton. j
The vast flowing tide of emigration con
tinue from the Eist tu ike We'. The
lightning-like rapidity with which new
Territories bect,;nc States, and new States
become settled and densely populated.
The fast-growing and increasing tendency
to expansion and that Westward are it
most decisive and convincing proof of the
necessity. It would be superfluous to
add that the people of America are more
progressive than any other people or
Earth. Vet it would not be rgottscal in
an American tu add, we arc the most prac
tical, u'ilitnrian people in point of Individ
ual and national enterprise yet exhibited
o the world. We cannot refrain from
a&vinv that the mitrhtv imnetu fiven to

Mh. Loiioa: A g'liticmau directly
fri in H iri county, Nebraska, as stated in
in ar;icl in the Palladium of the Uih inst.,
lmviig bsaiucd jou, that 'there is not a
houe or resident in the county, excrpi
wild hei sts and savages." I beg the priv
ilege of assuring ton, and (if you be
pleased to insert this in your next issue)
jour raadcis, tbat jour informant it mis
taken. 1 am myself an eituJ eltizen of Burt
county, Nebmska. and resident of "black
bird City," at which place it is true, we
have erected as yet, but one house fit foi
a white man to live in. I am aware lhat
there is but oi.e hovn in the county, it is
the "Blackbird House," an I no rr$iJent in
the county ouhidt the I'tnatt of the Black
bird Hill stttlttMid, except wild beasts
nd suvfges.
But the Palladium is doing our part of
Burt county great ii.jtis'ice, evidently
through want of correct information, re
alive to "Blackbird HilU" alf.ir.; I would
therefore state for your corral informa
tion that Ihe Palladium's Blackbird "nrst'
is located somewhere very near the south
ern boundary of Burt county, some fifty
miles f reufi the noted city of Ttkanudi, end
was so heated on the 12th his!., by a few
minor "pels" thert holding w hat they pre
sume to call an "election" (for the Ttka
uuh precinct of Burt county) instead ol
holding a bona-fide election at the tout
at Ttkamah, specified in the Governor's
published" notice.
And I would further slate for your cor
rect information, that the election held at
the "Blackbird House," Blackbird precint,
wax conducted, in a proper and legal man
ner, and that the votes polled were all le
jjhI vo'es. Vonrt truly,
