The objections we have formerly urged against Slate Organization were, first . the nectsiiiv of South : Plane country maintaining ber railroad inter : csts which were, at the time ot out animadversions, in Peril from North Platte influences; and secondly, the informal manner of the procedure as prepared at Omaha, and consequently " the great probability of Congress ret fusing us admission. As regards the first objection, it is . .plain to us, as it must be to our readers, that ihe convention had all the neces : -sities of the case in view, and the delegates from the North Platte coun - rs cheerfully conceded them to us in making the nomination of Hon. T. M . lion of a Congress-man, whoin we al know, and who will see taat no por tion of the Territory i3 neglected. Then the expected speedy admission of Colorado under the late move in Congress to reconsider the vole on her application, as every one must admit takes away the pith of this objection ; for when once she has a voice in our National councils.lier interests favoring the location of the Pacific Road in the Republican valley will advocate the interests of Nebraska in this pariicu lar ; and, consequently the first of our objections falls to the ground. The second objection fares the fate of the first by reason of the admission of Colorado; for if Congress admits Jitr as a State, and there is now no doubt whatever of her speedy admis sion; then Nebraska cannot consist ently be refused when she possesses a population calculated to be one-third greater than that of .ihe Golden State Our objections having been removed as explained above 'we are now, as we have ever been, the friend and advo cate of State Organization. There is a certainty of our .admission, and it is for every well wisher to Nebraska to come out manfully in favor of her taking her place in the National Gov ernment as becomes her. There are many of our readers' who talk against Slate wore from habit than facts and figures. We propose to ad dress the facts to these friends in the kindest spirit, for we feel assured that no one would willingly do himself an injury by voting against State know ingly. To-day we simply tuk the people of Nebraska if they have any good and sufficient grounds for believ ing themselves wiser and better judges of success as a people than the citizens of the) numerous Territories which have long since and are yet shaking off the trammels and swaddling clothes of a Territorial condition. Surely if , the great and intelligent majorities of the Various States of the Union hare foand it wise and benificial to tHeir interests, AM only as communities but as individ uals, to enter the glorious family of States, Nebraska will, cot prove an exception. If it has proved good for them, just as certainly will it prove good for us. Y; v:.We will continue tq lay reasons and figures before our readers from day to day, and we will ask of all a fair and candid reasoning in this most im portant and vital question. Important because we are wanted in Congress bij Congress i and.'because the grow ing interests of this section of country need representaiion and the' voices votes and influence of the men we can send there. Vifal. because unless we become a State our important rail road interests will become a dead letter, and while other States reap the harvest of earnest labor by their representa tion in Congress, we are left languish ing and helpless without a possibility of resisting injustice or claiming our rights. LETTER FROM SEC. IIAHEAIV. The following litter from Secretary Harlan, addressed to Maj. Gen. Thay er, explains itself: Department ofthe Interior, ) Washington, D. C, Mar. 21. $ Dear General : In reply to your-inquiry in relation to the proper course to be pursued by the Union men of Nebraska, on the subject of submitting a Constitution fur a Siate Government to the considera tion of Congress, in view of the recent action of ihe Senate of the United States in relation to the admission into the Union of Colorado as a State, 1 have to sav that I do not deem it prop er for me in my capacity as one of the executive officers of ihe Government to say anything that might be construed into advice. Ir, however, I were a citizen of Nebraska, with the light that I now have, I should not hesitate to vote at the coming election in favor of a State organization. The organization and admission of Nebraska as a State would nuiile her to a voice in the Senate of the United Slates equal to that, of any oiher State in the Union, and to a representation in the House equal to that of several of the existing States. That such a representation would be locally advan tageous to the citizens of Nebraska will not admit of a doubt. Al first ihe burthens of a State Government would not be great being only the necessary salaries of four or five Stale officers, five or six judges, and per diem., miie age and contingent expenses of a State Legislature, which for several years might be placed at a low figure. This, iu my opiuion, would be more than compensated for by the immediate con trol of grants of land for Common Schools, State Unuiversity, Agricultu ral Colleges, and such other grants as have been usual on the admission of a new State into the Union, together with the appropriations that might rea sonably be expected for guneral public uses. On the subject of the probable ad mission of Nebraska as a State, in the light of die recent vote of the Senate, I have to say that after a careful peru sal of the discussion of that subject, as reported in the Congressional Globe, I find that the decision in that case seemed popuTaCori p peofornfddH sYncV VKeass age of the Enabling Act by Congress and its floating character a large pro portion being laborer in the mines ; which as applied to Nebraska would be untrue, as the population of Nebras ka is doubless much larger now than when the Enlablmg Act was passed by Congress and approved by the Presi dent, nnd being1 chiefly engaged in agriculture and commerce is as stable, and would be as reliable for the sup port of a State Government, as an equal number of people in any other part of the Union. Rut if the admission of Nebraska as a State was now a subject of grave doubt after the adoption of a Constitu tion by the Territorial Legislature and the enactment of laws submitting it to the people for a vote, I do not think that the friends of the measure can with propriety recede. This submis sion of the Constitution was made doubtless fwr the purpose of ascertain ing the unbiased judgment of the citi zens of the Territory, and I cannol perceive that their judgement on this subject can be, or ought to be, influenc ed iu any way by the supposed opin-on of gentlemen living elsewhere. . If ihe people Nebraska at a fair election, held for that purpose, should declare iheir wish to become a State under the provisions of the Constitution submit ted, and if on examination it should appear to Oongress that said Constitu tion is republican in form, and that the population of tho Territory has not diminished, but on the contrary ha? greatly augmented in numbers and rvealth since the passage of the Ena bling Act, I do not see on what ground that body could reject their applica tion. With great respect, . I have the honor to be, Your ob'l servant. 'J AS. HARLAN. Gen. Jsro. M. Thayer, Omaha, Mai Nebraska Territory. EMIGRATION WESTWARD. It 5s not long since the vast areas that we style "the Rocky Iouctains," were almost unknbwD, inhabited mere ly by a few wandering tribes pf In dians, with rare and occasional hunting stations, serving as the outposts of civ ilization. So scanty was the popula tion of that region lhat the fur compa nies sent only uvo boats every 6ummer from St. Louis to carry ihe fieccessary supplies to the traders and bring Lack their hoards of skias. The National Government also sent out one to the Indians; but now the tide of emigra tion has been tendin; so steadily in that direction that seventy-five steam ers are advertised to leave St. Louis for that region during the approach- ing month of April, and immense quantities of goods and groceries will be iorwarded to supply the wants of the rapidly increasing population. Prttsbttrgh Dispatch. STATE AXD RAILROADS. That our railroad interests are de pendant in a great measure upon tne dicision of the people of Nebraska up on the 'State question, no man who is thorougly, posted will pretend to deny; and more especially will this dicision and its consequences affect the people of the South Platte country. The facts in the case are in this wise ; the main trunk of the Pacific Road has its ini tial point on the 100th meridian, be tween the Plane and Republican rivers, as has been stated a sufficient number of times to be known by every body The present arrangement is to run the road up the Tlatte, leaving Denver and Colorado on: in ihe cold. This ar rangement is distasteful to the-people of the Golden State, and they are ma king herculean eflforts, in conjunction with powerful influences in the States, to have this arrangement changed so as lo run through Colorado. They, the people of Colorado, through their leading men, favor the location of the road on the Republican; but in the event of a failure to secure such loca tion, they propose trying to secure its location on the Smoky Hill route, which would leave atl Nebraska out in the cold, and materially change all our railroad pro-pects. Now, we say this interest demands that we have a voice in the matter, which only can be had as a State. We all know that as a Territory we have but little, if any influence over the 'matter, and tha little is but poorly calculated to work to the ultimat3 benefit of Nebraska as a whole as wa see that' benefit. Let us, therefore, send men to the Congress of the United States who 9 will see to it that Nebraska is not com pletely slaughtered in the final dicision upon these railroad questions, as she assuredly would be in ihe event of the Pacific road going to the Smoky Hi! route. Measures have already been started for the consummation of this change, and it stands us in hand to be prompt in using cur influence to check it. Let no man be found in this coun try who will sacrifice the future impor tance of Nebraska, because of a preju dice ajrainst the State move. CHOLERA. We call the attention of our readers to Ordinance, No. 59, published by authority of the City Council, and at the same time would request them to weigh well the significance of the tel egraphic dispatches from the East. Cholera has already made its appear ance at the following points, Nova Smt , J-r,p " ' ?f , fi inula 'pupe.Port land in Maine, New lork and Cin cinnati. The natural inference, from its appearance at this early day, at so many points in ihis Continent is that with the increasing heat of the season it will devastate the land, unless proper sanitary measures are at once adopted to check its development in localities it has not yet visited. Its channels are the same now as heretofore ; the great arteries of commerce ; rivers and rail- roaus convey it. Ana we nave no good reasons to hope far escape from a visatition rilong the towns of the Mis souri. L.i;t all good citizens carry out the provisions of Ordinance 59, and we will thus ward off the verulence of its attack. siiii'i'irvt; cor.v. Ed. Herald: I see it estimated that there is at least two hundred tbou and bushels of surplus corn in this county seeking a market. My opin ion is that no considerable amount could be bought for 25 cents per bushel. We have now a tri-vvcekly through line of boais to St. Louis, as well as the Railroad lint ; and there is no good reason why down freight should not oe carriea a cneapiy as it was three yeas ago, (25 cents per sack to St. Louis.) White corn is now worth 75 cents per bushel in St. Louis Gunny Sacks ate quoted at 22 cents; would coast about 30 cents here ; in surance, commission, and drayage would be about four cents per bushel. If boats will carry produce at the old rates, corn will be worth from 40 to 45 cents in Plaiismouth. All we need is a good market for our produce ; with a good mirket we can raise almost un limited quantities of either corn or wheat. " BI'SI.Ss'"mE.t! If you would succeed irj, business. advertise : and when you advertise, do so through a medium that places your business before the greatest number of people. The Dady Herald is read by a lurge number of people in Ne braska Western Iowa, Northern Mis souri, and Colorado. All the freight- ers read it, and everybody else should. It offers, therefore, the greatest induce ments to business men, either at home or abroad, as an advertising medium. Our -down river friends should have an immense trade in this country, and the way ta get it" 13 "to tell the people through the Herald wThat they have to seH and how cheap they will sell it. "A MEAN Si AX." Under the aboveheading. J. Sterling pitches into Secretary Harlan because. orsooth, he has dared to writs a letter to somebody inNebraska in which he says he doubts not Nebraska would be admitted into the Union if xshe atked it. Harlan is well known as a friend to Nebraska, as an upright man, and cne in whom our people have great confidence ; hence the desire of such men as Morton to cast reproach upon him. Better try some other man, Ster ling; Harlan is beyond your ability to reach. g$g-"Cass mast bury Marquett. It can do it, if King, and Vallery, and Hanna, and Early, and Sharp, and Spratlin, and Torter, but go to work and will it.'' We clip the above from the Omaha Herald. We would merely remark lhat we are of the opinion that the jrentlemen named above have no very great desire to "bury" Mr. Marqueti. They Lnew too well that he is a good and true man, even if he does ditfer from thern upon some of ihe political questions of the day ; and we do not apprehend that they would, under any circumstances, trade nim for Dr. Mil ler, notwithstanding the Dr. would like to see everybody in Plattsmouth kept in the back-ground which is not surpn sins to us. We don't know how well the people of Omaha may obey your commands. Doctor; but think you are out of your jurisdiction when you at tempt to command men at Plattsmouth to go contiary to their convictions. OMAHA TS COLORADO. Omaha, through her press seems to be constantly on the mutual tickling principle in connection with JUonuna Every day between Umana and Mon tana its "I'll tickle you if you'll tickle me." Such boy's play will do in ihe green days of childhood, bumaw when editors are presumed to have attained 10 man's estate, it Beenis very ridicu lous Il may be lhat .tlie interests of Omaha are more closely allied with Montana than Colorado, but we think she might not be, if the people of Omaha would pur.-ue any other than the policy which they now are impro vising. Does not Omaha know, that Monta na must go by Omaha to purchase her goods; if she purchases them in other markets? If the merchants of Oma ha are liberal, she will get their trade, if not, she won t. This continual puff ing of one another will pay on the side of Montann, but we cannot see what Omaha will gain by her newspaper toadying for Montana. If Omaha was to use the same exertions to get ihe trade of Denver, Cental City, and Col orado gnnerally, she might be able at least to get her share ; but if she is determined to get the railroad carried great central portion of Colorado, then all our irade must and uudoub.euly will go to Kansas and Missouri, will build their roads to Denver, nolens volens. We would recommend to the Ne braska papers, and the Omaha Herald in particular, "that discretion is the better part of valor." Denver Gazette. Stamps on Subscription Papers. The internal Revenue Commissioner has decided lhat a stamp mul be af fixed 10 every name attnehed to sub scription papers, unless the signing is accompanied by the immediate pay ment of the amount subscribed. If made at once the signature is regard ed merely as a memorandum. The amount of Stamps depends on the nature of the subscription. It is simply a promise lo p..y the amount named, the stamp murt be ihe same as required on a promtssary note, namely, five cents, for every hundred," or frac tional part thereat ; but if there be a condition precedent to be performed by die person interested in obtaining the subseriniion as, for . instance, the deliv ery of a book, then the transaction is in the nature of an agreement, and is subject to a duty of five cents. PRICES OF COR.V. Corn is worth only twenty-five cents per bushel at Plattsmouth, and intelli gent farmers told s la?t Thursday tvhile in that city, that Cass county has a surplus of two hundred thousand bush' els, which is seeking a market at the figure quoted above. 1 There would h;tve been a market for all this surplus and more, if Nebraska farmers had been permitted to supply the military posts within our territorial limits ; but they are all placed in ihe Department of Missouri, so lhat Kansas men may supply them. Contracts for furnishing' corn fof Fort Kearney and Fort Lar amie are to be let at Leavenworth, for the benefit of Kansas farmers. JVeare to have a "Department,", but there are no military pools in it, within reach of he products of Nebraska farmers J This will be corrected one of these days, but not while we remain a Territory without a voice in ihe Senate or a vote in the House ! Omaha Republican. JCST Harper's Weekly is bothered to know why the Radicals in Congress sulmit to.Thad. Stevens' leadership Desperate diseases require desperate remedies. A man once went tearing lo a doctor, exclaiming tnat he had swallowed a mouse, abd asking what he should do? "Why, replied the doctor, "swallow a cat, right away."

Vallandigham, whom President Lincoln banished for treason, is in Washington, on a secret mission. Probably he has gone to assist Andy Johnson in ''carrying out Lincoln's poN icy t" It Is said that James Buchanan appeats more cheerful - now tnan he has for six years, and looks ten years younger than he did when he retired from the White House caused by the prospect that his Administration will not go down to posterity as the most dieraceful one of all the American Presidents. Last Saturday was the anniver sary of ihe saddest day that America ever witnessed the day that made Andrew Johnson "President of the United States. It was rumored that Andy John son was going to pardon Jeff. Davis, in a fit of spite, on being told that Thad. Stephen's wife had made m.-uths at him, behind his back." But he sub sequently learned lhat Thad. Stephens has no wife ; anu it is no-w oeneveu that when he sets sober, he will let justice have its course. It is a mighty fine thing to have a Presided who has a tvill of his own. The Copperheads are delighted lhat President Johnson has united with them in the work of preserv ing this as 4 w a "white man's country." There are about 4,000,000 negroes and 30.000,- 000 whiles in ihe United States ; ant it would be a sad thing, if protection given those 4,000,000 negroes by such ininuitiou? laws as the Freed men's Bureau and Civil Rights bills, should place at their mercy those helples 30.000.000 white? ! -2f"Weare informed by a "reliable gentleman" that Sterling Morton wi not deliver himself as he was adver tised to do in a lecture on the subject of "Brass. ' His acceptance of hi nomination for "State'' Governor has demonstrated every possible phase of the case so completely, that any words on thet subject would be a work of su pererogation.
