All manner of measures was resort ed to durin? the recent campaurn to defeat the. gentleman whose name head, this article, and even since the election ii over there are a few who cannot cease their vi uperntion. We fii.'d the following iu a late number f the Statesman, puLIirhed at Nebraska C.ty: The Union Pacific Railroad ilects T Marqut-tt, Dltrgate, and John TaffV, Member of Congress, from Ne braska, by some 150 majority.'' , ; Such flings are intended to irrpair confidence in Mr. Marqueit, by insinu ating that he will work in the interest of the Union Pacific Railroad to the exclusion of the balance of the Terri tory. It is not necessary for ns, 'or any other person to defend Mr. Mar quell to those who know him. There is not a man in Nebraska who knows Mr. Marqnell but spurns the idea, or the man who advances it, that he would use hit influence for the benefit of any persons, or se.uons 01 me ler r tjry, to the del iment of others. It is the narrow-mindedness of the ed itor of the Statesman and others of like ilk thai -aues them to think a man cannot or will noi legislate lor any other part of ihe country except ihat iu which he happens 10 reside That there are others in Nebraska City who entertaic. similar views wi.Uihe States man, is proven by ihe fact that Mr. Marqueit was scratched" on several otherwise straight Republican tickets.

A letter-from Lan caster, la , says inat ex-rretiaent Buchanan looks remarkably well better than he has for five or six years past and although he takes no active part in politics, his sympathies are with President Johnson and his "policy. Of course they are. It is related that a woman in Charleston, S. C. begged for eighty dollar- to -bury hr' husband. A be nevolent lacy visited her home to take her ihe money. In a darkend apart ment lay the corpse; the widow ; was crying, and everything looked melan choly. She left the . eighty , dollars and departed, forgetting her parasol. Returning, she found the corpse care fully counting the money. 5jT During the delivery of Mr; Moses Johnson's speech at: the Ken- nard Ho-.ie. a copperhead ip the crowd observed that "no one could dispute that ihe President draws well. .

There is loo much "Southern Chivalry" about that idea. It won't win. If Nebraska City wants one of her citizens lo go to Congress, let ihem put up one of the "right tttipe" politically, and not try to run him upon ihe "local iuterests" of Nebraska City as against the balance of the Territory.

Every few days we hear some per son wh j is impatient to make a fortune asking if there is any fresh news about the Railroad.. D. you, or did you ever. suppo.e a Railroad was to be comrlet ed across the State of Iowa in a day, a mon'.h, or a year ? If so, you can not understand a great work, and will never profit by one. The Burlington Sc. Missouri River Railroad is being constructed as fast as it js possible to be, and will reach this city at the proper time. Any talk about its going to any other point on the river is the sheerest kind of humbug. . The Com pany has never even talked about going lo any other place than Plaits mouth, let alone doing anything that would indicate such an intention.

Lynchburg Republican. ,, , UL.XOCK.ill. ;;The name of Democracy ha9, for generations, been a watchword that drew toward it many a libertv-lovinir man ; many a man who lied from the oppression of jhe governments .of . the Old World and sought refuge in a land where every citizen, do matter how humble his station in life or how poor he, might be iu: this world's good, had an equal voice in ihe affairs of govern ment with ihe courted and the wealthy. It was natural, for the people coming from a country where aristocracy ruled, to affiliate with those who assumed the name of Democrats; and had that party pursued a course in consonance with its name it would to day have gov erntd the country, as it has in days past. But, holding to the name, it re pudiates every sentiment and., princi ple in-harmony with that nauie. Il re be'led against the government, and caused the death of thousands of brave men, both North and South. When the war commenced, many true men who had hitherto stood by the. party because of the endearing and libeny indicating name, left it. .They saw that though rhe name was good, it was like a wolf in sheep's clothing. That while the name indicated a govern ment by the people, the men who con troled the party movements and made the party platforms, acted upon an en tirely different principle ; they acted upon the principle ihat "whenever they wer6 not the chosen rulers of the land, then the voice of the people was wrong. , Siucathe close of the war. many of tTiS5serwfidnaTleW!h"evpSrty on acctmw of its (reasonable practices, went back to the name they had such great rever ence for. But -the leaders saw plainly enough that ihey had not the numbers to make fh?m successful at the ballot box and tried the expedient of throw ing aside the old name which had be gun to be a stench in the nostrils of true men because of, the villany of those.-who assumed it. Hence the Philadelphia movement was inaugura ted, n fid ihe '-Conservative" party -was organized out of the' 'old.' Democratic party and a few men from the.Repub hcan party who -thought they "saw something. 'They have,' in1 several of the States, already ' passed' through the campaign made .under 'this new party name, and the result is before -the people. -They have met with a worse defeat than 'fcver''before 'under the" old name. The reason is obvious. "", Man j' l. - i - .... a of those who adhered, lo the party be- party .only, were left to seek a "party for its' pri'neiphs .These men. being really lovers ofTa free.gov. ernmenl, could not but affiliate - with the Rep'jbiicah party, which j was bat tling for human rights and universal freedom. : . , The query now is, what will be the next resort of the leaders of the "con fervative" party, will they try another fight under that 'name, or will they seek a new one? They have cut loose the bonds which held thousands of their supporters; aud they can never expect to regain support from ihe men who now see through the thin gauze which cloaked their iniquity. ' They cannot again give the same charm ; to the name of Democracy which it once pos sessed, and it is doubled by many whether the experiment will ever be tried. : , KissS" Our Democratic friends bought up all the black .crape to be had in Chariton last week for the purpose of showing proper respect to the death of "My Policy;" an infant born of amal gamating parents at Philadelphia a few weeks ago, but being of a weakly consmution, and condemned by a Uod serviog and Union loving people, found that even the pure air of Iowa s great pranes could not prolong its miserable existence, and when the sd went down on yesterday, the lest vital spark of "my policy" went down with it.
