Second That it will place under the control of the people our School .Lands nnd thereby largely contribute to re A,mm faTfitinn for the SUPPOrt Ol OUT .' Common School system.

That the party which has . 'triumphantly vindicated and sustained he Government, and carried it safely through four years of sanguinary war ' vrarred bv the enemies of civil nnd Teligeous liberty, owes it to its cherish ed Drinciole and to humanity to 6ecure liberty and civihrijhts to all men under treneral law.

Plattsmouth, Neb., May 21, 1866 To the Editor or the Herald. Sir: I transmit herewith a correspon denre between J. Sterling Morten and myself in regard to continuing our joint discussions during the pending canvass It, to some extent, explains itself; but I feel that it is due to me. and to the " party I represent, t eive a word of further explanation.. When Captain Cooper handed me Mr. Morton's re joinder to my second note he informed me that that gentleman was then starting - South, and I ascertained that he did ' leave immediately. . This sudden departure precludes the . possibility "of efleetinar any arransre- - jnent at present ; and his last commu nication, it will be observed, gives no intimation as to the time or place that a letter would reach him. I am con sequently left to make appointments for the North Platte, at my own dis cretion.' There was an express agree ment between air. juorton nnd myselt that we should proceed directly from Plattsmcuth to the Northern portion of the. Territory, and I exceedingly regret that he should have seen a necessity for beating such an incontinent retreat. , - It will be seen that the wily Demo cratic candidate extends to me this very 'indefinite invitation 'to now travel with me (him) towards the western and southernponlon of Netraska." He has "tacked ship" and seems to be revisitiag the points: where) we have just ?poken; nd where or when I should find him, if at all, is quite un certain. . Mr. Morton has propounded many interrogatories ; which were totally ir relevant to the questions in issue, but which I affirm I have never failed to answer, i submit the tacts to inose who Late heard. --"" y Knowing- Mr. Morton' unscrupu ousness as a politician, I have regard ed it as hiit justice to myself and my friends to put you in possession of this correspondence in order to meetthe mis representations which wtll probably be made. You can use it as you think proper."'-- -" - i ' Uavid niiiLiB. Plattsmouth, Neb., May 21.1S6G. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Demo cratic candidate for Governor. Sir The appointments to discuss the issues involved in the present campaign, 111 which we have been engaged thus far, by my acceptance of your challenge, havinc? terminated at this puce iat Saturday evening, I respectfully sub mit that we continue the said discussion at the following named places, and at the dates mentioned below.

Your obedient servant, David Butler, Union candidate for Governor, , . .Plattsmouth, May 21, 1SG6. Hon. David Butler, Union ? candi date for Governor of the proposed State of Nebraska. Sir: Your comrnuni cation, enclosing appointments, was this moment handed to me by C. II. Walk er, Esq., of Saunders county. It will give me great pleasure to meet you at Omaha on June 1st, but it is not compatible with my ideas of duty to the party which I have the hon or to represent in this canvass, to allow you to direct'ihe entire plan of the cam paign, and 1 shall not, therefore, be able to meet you at the other points named in your list. Meantime, let me, in all kindness, ask you to tell the peo ple, whether or not, you endorse the reconstruction policies of Andrew John son ? To tell the people whether you are pleased with the present attidute of Sumner and Stephens, (whom the Pres ident in his speech of February 22d, 1S66, denounced as disunionUts and traitors.) (upou the negro suffrage question in the Territories). . Let me further respectfully solicit you to say, to the people, whether you are fcr against that portion of a law which passed the passed the House of Repre seniatives of the Congress of the Uni ted Stales on the 15th day of this month, which reads, viz : (Sao Sl Luuu Jjm ocratvt date above:) ,4Sec. 9. And he it further enacted. that within the Territories aforesaid, (that is, all the Territories including Nebraska) there shall be no denial of the elective franchise to citizens because of race or color. And all persons shall be e.jual before the law. And ail acts or parts of acts, either of Congress or of the Legislatures assembled of the Ter ritories aforesaid, inconsistent with this provision, are hereby declared null and veid." My position is defhied, I do not en dorse Sumner and Stephens, nor am 1 in favor of the law just quoted above, acd I do most heartily endorse "the official action of Andrew Johnson, President of the United Slates, in all hi9 legitimate endeavors to restore, un der the Constitution, the several States to their legal status in (he American Union. ' Vill you, sir, state your position, with equal frankness, upon these ques tions? This reply will be handed to you by my friend, Captain S. F. Cooper, lote in command of Company "M," 2d Ne braska Cavalry, and present Democrat ic nominee for Senator from Cass county, to whom yob may entrust a re ply should you deem one necessary. With the highest esteem. I am sir, most respectfully yours, J. Sterling, Moktox. Plattsmouth, May 21, 1S66. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Demo cratic candidate for Governor of JNe- braska. Sir Your reply to my pro position to con'inue the canvass of the Territory in pursuance of the original understanding, has been handed me by b. r. Cooper, L.sq. Your challenge was given in the most general terms, and the people seemed to believe, as I did, that the emirs Territory was contemplated when the discussion was proposed by you. You are aware that I had made sev eral appeintmonts befors the receipt of your challenge ; but as yoa were oblig ing enough to accommodate yourself to them, in order to attest my full ap. preciation of the courtesy, 1 will re quest you to state what would be agree able to you in this direction, not waiv ing, however, a full discussion of the questions involved, north of the Platte river. As you are unable to accede to my proposition, you (an no doubt make such modifications as will be acceptable to me ; and ntrtify tne of your action, in the premises at your earliest conve- niece. ' I will consider your kind suggestions and numerous interrogatories, so far as they are pertinent to the issues, upon all proper occasions before ih&people, if an "arrangement such as I have indica ted can be effected. . Very respectfully, - Your ob't servant, David UvjtiR. , Plattsmouth, May 21st, 1S66. Hon. D. Butler. Union ? candidate for Governor of the proposed State ot Nebraska. Sir : Your second epistle las iusi been received, an 1 I take pleas ure ini saying that it wll be agreeable to meet you atTekama, Monday, My 2Sth, 7 I-2 4?. m., and to travel thence anywhere in Nebraska that it may suit you to go, and fuhy to discuss tne po- itical issues et the day. . 1 have in every debate endeavored to compel you to define your position upon the reconstruction pulicies or President Johnson, in fact to ascertain if possible whether you. are. "sustain ins the Government,'' whether you are. to use a stock phrase of your own loyal?" You have failed to. define vour nosuion Dom in aeoaie. uuu in correspondence upon that question I have m every debate asiceu you, whether vou are for or asrainst the pending law of Concrre?, which lesral izes negro suffrage in Nebraska? You have failed to answer, unless, perhaps at Peru, where you rather favored ne gro suffrage, though very strategeti- callv. Should you honor me with further debate as above indicated, I shall be happy to elicit your 1 pinions upon the above most interesting topics. And will, therefore, with so ever much of persistency I'.s.I can master continue to ask. " Are you for Andrew Johnson or for Sumner and Stephens? Are vou in favor of negro suffrage in Nebraska Hoping the proposal may meet your acceptance,' and inviting you further, if compatible with your duties, to now travel awhile with me towards the western and southern portions of Ne braska, to discuss these questions be fore the people. I have the honor to remain, Respectfully yours, J. Stirling Morton XOT ASIIA1IEI OF IT. J7 Sterling Moiton, Democratic can didate for Govcri.or of the State of Nebraska, had the audacity te get up before an audience in this city last Saturday evening, composed priucipa ly of Republicans and loyal Democrats and unblu'hingly' assert that he was not ashamed of his political record, or any of his political acts. We believe he was right. . He is not ashemed of them, because there is no shame in him. He feels no ' shame when he recollects that he said, in this city, in response to the remark that Jeff. Davis deserved hanging, that. "Abraham should be hung on the same tree, and that he (Lincoln) would bear the same relation to Davis that the thieves did to Christ." Ilefeeli no tinge of shame when he remembers saying that Jeff. Davis was "socially, morally and polit cally the superior of Abraham Lin coin." He feels no shame when he cets up before an audience, as be did here last Saturday evening, and ex poses private letters, written to him by men who supposed him to be an honor able pontical opponent, acd " not one vh would wilfully and maliciously at tempt to injure th? private character of this political opponents for the purpose of making party capital. He feels no shame for having called upon Price's disbanded raiders to come up to the polls, at Nebraska City, and "vote down the blue coaled, brass buttoned ab oinionists." He feels no shame for having received a commission as lead er in a secret organization, whose avowed purpose was resistance to the National Government, tie teels no shame fur haviig used bis pen, .his brain, and all his energies, during the late struggle for National existence against the government that protects him, and undtr which he is now seek ing office. No, he feels no shame but the loyal portion of the party which he assumes tj lead feel ashamed for him. They know full well that shame is not a part cr parcel of his composi uon, eise ne wouia not a a re to come before '.hem and ask their suffrages with the facts concerning tho Kinney Daily campaign staring him in the face. He would not dare to come before loyal audience and claim that he, and he alone, had bien loyal to the Gov ernment of the United States during her struggle for existence, and denounce those who had devoted their time, their energies and their means to putting down the rebellion, as disloyal. No be was right when he said he was not ashamed of his political record : but he was somewhat mistaken in his esti mate of the audience he was addrers. ing. lie has been too long used to talking to Price's men, and forgets that a large proportion of the Demo crats of Casj'county are loyal men, who heartily despise the man "who would sacrifice their interacts, the Na tion, and, if necessary, hisgrandmoth er, for his own political ends. DOX'T DEN Y IT. In the course of his speech here last Saturday evening, Hon. David Butler, boldly charged Morton with being a Rebel at heart during the late war, and with going on a visit to Yallandigham and procuring a commission as G. C. for Nebraska, in an organization of known hostility the Government. In his reply Mr. Morton did not. attempt to deny these charges, and consequent ly the people are left to believe that they are true if any body doubted it before. ' GO AND VOTE. ! There are a few men throughout the country .who think that because they are opposed to the Constitution, or becausfe they do not care whether it is adoptefd or not, it is a matter f no importance whether they go to the polls or uot.-N This is entirely a mistaken idea. If yon are satisfied, after a careful and impartial examination of the subject. t it is tfgainst the interests of Ne braska to ass'ume the responsibilities of State Government, it is your pnvi lege, your right and your duty to ;go and vote atrainst it. iusl as much as it would be to vote for it were you con vinced to the contrary. And whatever may be your convictions oh the ques tion of State, we hope there will not be a Republican found in all Nebraska who will not come up to the polls on the 2d of June and deposft his ballot for the nominees of the party." It the Constitution' should be adopted and Nebraska admitted into the Junion, is there a Union loving man in all our land who does not feel a desire to see her come in as a Republican State? And on the contrary, should the Con stitution be voted down, do you wish to have a Democratic majority as a prece dent for future elections? INo; we know you do not wish any such thing and therefore we urge you to turn out on election day and vote for the men who have been placed in nomination by the pany, and vote on 'the S.ate duestion as vour Judgment and reason teaches you is for the best interests of -J J w- the whole people. STATE TAX AM) K.4ILKOAD Rock Ulcfis, N. T.," J May, lSth, 1566 . Ma. H. D. Hathaway ; Excuse iiiv bo dues. But it is bta'.eor no State. And some, think that tax on Railroad nronenv will be applied to .. .. , the counties throuch which said road runs, and will be of but Ir.tl'e benefit towards pavinc the expenses of the State. Please let us heurfroHi you as touching this matter. . ' ' Yours, very respectfully. Cosmopolite Tho-e who think in the manner spok en of bv "Cosmopolite- in regard to the application of the tax on Raiiroads are partly right and partly wrong. They are right in supposing that the roads are taxed for couniy purposes in the counties where they are situated, and wroncr in supposing that the tax "will be of little benefit towards pny ing the expenses of the State." As we understand the matter, railroads, under the State Government, will be taxed '"the snmc th j-f-ij' dividuals;" that is, they wiilbe subject to a city tax (such portions as are situ ated in a city), county tax and Stute tax. So far as records the tax for Slate purposes, it does not matter what county, railroad property is situated in there is a certain amount ot revenue to be derived from the whole property in the State, and the tax is levied, so much -on the dollar, not so much to each county : and it one county contains twice the amount of taxable property that another county has, it has twice the amount to pay into the State Treas ury, without any regard 10 the tax lev ied for county purposes. To illustrate suppose a tax or two mins on ine dol lar is levied on nil property for S'.ate purposes ; suppose Cass couniy to have two million dollars worth of property and Douglas four million dollars worth (including two million of railroad prop- cty; , 3 ou.u I'y . a k e a rn into the State Treasury, and Douglas SSO0 (S400 of which would come out of the railroad company.)

We clip -the following from the New York .Commercial Jldteitiser : ,; s" There is on exhibition at the sales room of Messrs. Wheeler & Wilson, . 625 Broadway, the first sewing machine (No. 1) made by that compa ny, the present number being about 220.000.

"This machine was. finished early in 1851, and I learned its use from. Mr, Wilson himself. I was thus, you see, the first to work the Wheeler & Wil snn machine, and learned on the first machine they ever manufactured. "In 1S54 I earned with the machine S295, besides doing my owa house work, and taking care of my baby. In IS06 we came to Davenport and brought the machine with us. , 1 believe it the first machine ever brought to Iowa. "I run that machine almost constant' ly for more than fourteen years, on al sorts of work, from the finest dress making to ihf heaviest tailoring ; I quil eJ a full size bed-spread with it which had been exhibited three tunes at the lair. It took inj three weeks to do it with my othtr work ; but ii could not have done by hand in as many years. 1 nave even stiuned leainer with it. and at the,tjjne I exchanged it in 1S6-5 for No. 1U3 320, woi kt d just as welt as when made.
