Now that Nebra;ka has become a Siftte, we are stiil more confident of seeing our prairies teeming with thou sands of new settlers during the com ing season.

We cannot understand how the cop pethead papers hatmonize their asstr- I iiopwiih existing facts. They say the present Congress is not sQpngress. If this be so, how do they make "out thai his accidency, A. Johnson, is Pres denl, or that we had any Congress during the war, or that we had any government during th war? They ay Congress is not a legal body be cause ten f ihe States are not repre sented. If that dociriue i correct, then ihe whole system of our government in a farce, and we have had no legal gov eminent since the Souih Carolina Sen ators and Representatives absented themselves. If ten States wi lidrawing their Si t om -mil t!..uii idates the action of the rest, then one State could break up the whole gov ernment by the same process. THE FENCE QUESTION. As this ii a subject of deep interest to the people of Nebraska just now. and cne which should be determined in a manner that will accomplish the great est good, the following from the Chica go Republican may not be uuintcrest- iufi.lo oucxs.ad.ers: The fact that the State loF3 of Ag riculture, at its last session, resolved thai it is more economical for the peo pie of Illinois to restrain their stock by fencing it, thin to protect their crops from siooU by fencing iheir gram fields, is one evidence that the people cf the Stale are feeling the burden of this enormous tax upon their substance gre viou?ly. And it is a matter which de mands legislation. It may be regarded premature to urge legislation on this subject now; but we believe the relief from taxation from a law compelling the owner of live stock to inclosu and restrain the same, would add more to the productive weahh of the Stale than almost any measure within the juris diction of ihe Legislature. We have 3d.loU.i00 acres of land in this S.ate. In 1S60, 13.096 374 acres were improved, and 7,Slo,6lo acres were reported unimproved, in farms. The total cash value of these farms was computed to be S-10S.9-11,-033. The aggregate number of acres, improved and unimproved, in farm tva 20,91 It is not unfair to asjume that every eighty acres of these farm lands are fenced, or that the fencing in this is eijuiil in amount to that which would be required to inclose every eigh'y acres of land occupied as farms, improved and unimproved. Tnis woiild give us nearly 261,-100 eighties that are no: fenced. It is not ea?y to make an estimBie of ihe average cot of fencing in all sections of the State. A member ol the S ate Board asserted that duriug the past season he had paid for the lumber, alone, necessary lo inclose eighty acres of land SI. ISO. Thi seems and is an extraordinary price; but it is because the cost of fencing is becoming so great that the burden is getting grevious. But a-suiuing that the aggregate cost, including material and labor, of fencing each eih y acres of occupied tarm lands in the Stale wie less thai: fifty per-ient. of the co?t of material for fencing eighty acres a purchased by Mr. Van Lpps. for S500, we find the money and labor invested in fences in this Slate, in 1S60. to have been the neat liule sum of S130.700, 000! Suppose we divide this amount by two. nd make the cost per eighty acres S'50. we have ihe snug sum of 65,3-50,000. In I860, the value of the live stock in I linoi, as siven in the United States census was S72.501.225. Thus it will be .seen that at the mader ate cost of $250 per eighty acres, the aggregate sum pid for in..lo ing ll.e farm luncs uf Illinois in eighty acr fields is nearly eitial to the i le val ue of the live stock in the bt.i , against which these fences are made for pro tection. Th cot of repairing th fenres of the Siaie annually cinnot be put at less than 5 per cent, of this val uaiion, or 3 -267,-500 mor than one- thiid, and nearly one haif of the State lelt. Ad i to tnis sum G per cent, of the money invested in iini- fences and the annual co-t to the 153 616 farmer." in the Jrtnte In 1 8G0 of tiit-ir fenres is S7.1SS-500. or oierS45 ; cr capita We do not hesiiale to Miy that we regard the figures siren here as rep refenting the nrgregate cot of fences in tins State at least 2o per cent. U-s-ihan the facts will warrant, and i!kh our statement of the annual cost of the:r fences to the farmers of the State is pr iportionately low. It is tint an uri f-ate proposition ihat by so chnnrin(i tie law as tocnmpt-I owners o slock to take care ef it. 66 2-3 per cent, of thi annual expenditure fr fences may be saved to i h farmers of Illinois. New York his already such a law; and the saving to her industrial popu lation has forever swept a way any op position to iha measure which existed arnnr farmers in ihe ou'set. And. compared with Illinois', th" cost of fenc ing pr acre in New York is much !e-s. Illinois leaila'ors should not hesitate tu act in this matter. We see by our di.-p .'chef, that Mich a t ill is now be 102 pressed up.ni the attention of our Legislature We have no d.iubt that four-fifths of .he f armors of the State would vote for such a buy.

" Pres ident Buchanan, in hi Message of Dec 3. 1S60, squarely proclaim-d ihm Con gress had no right Co use force to pre vent the withdrawal of a State from ihe Union, nor to compel her to yielli obedience lo itsjatvs. To do this, hi' argued would be to make war o? a mtale, which Congress had no consiitu uonal power to do. (See American Conflict Vol. 1., p. 370 ) This proc lamation of national anarchy was hack; ed by a formal opinion from his Dein; ocratic Attorney General, J re. S' li ack, whj was afterward his Secretiv ry of State, who affirmed that the use of armed men to enforce the laws, in tsritTng-siala-f- ihiugs, would be "wholly illegal."' He further urgtd that an attempt to make a seceded'. Slate fullfill her Federal obligations 'would be ipso faito an expulsion of such State from the Uuion.' (The very sophi-try which we hear every day from the Democrats of I&67 ) IV. During that memorable winter Democratic Conventions were field ini several States that in this Staie (h-ld" in Tweedle Hall, Albany, Jan. 31. 1S61) being one cf the ablest and strongest that was ever convened.

Ei'her its doctrines were sound, or any Mate in gin at any nine uissoive me Union. Yet, of ihe five hundred Dem ocratic journals wiihin our reach, we believe no single one approved and sustained the positions of Mr. Lincoln. VII. Throughout that winter and the ensuing spring, all of the organs of Democratic opinion within our observa- lion reprobated Mr. Lincoln and tht R' put hcan.- as di-turbers and disuuion-i-ts, because of their intent to oppose force by force, if thai should become necessary lo maintain the integrity and nu'hori y of the Union. We can re fit I no instance of Democratic reHuke to '.hose who were openly, ostentatiously conspiring and arming lo resi-l the Union, which ihey proclaimed already di-solved. VIII. A Confederacy of the seceded States having been formed, leading Northern and Western D minraia openly advocated the secession of iheir .-everal States from ihe Union and .heir accession to ihe Southern Confed eracy. "If the Union is to be d sol Vrd.' sail Judge Geo W. Woodward. ( D-mtocratic candidate for Governor in 1S131J.) I want the line to run north of Pennsylvania " Kx-Gov. Rodman M.

And ex-Gov Horatio Seymour of this Suite pr vately argued that New York should likewise nnre with that Confeileiacy whose iieai was Jeiierson uavis. it was held by leading D-mcrats that ih Union might be thtii reconsirucied without bloodshed or tonvul-ion only iew r.ngianu, anu perhaps two or . t i i three of ihe mole fanatical States of tiie North.

And yet, from first to lat, the Democratic jour nils and canvassers represented the war for ihe Union as waged by Mr. Lincoln and the Republicans-, and as sumed that the rebels were assailed atd standing on the defensive!

Thoui is II. Seymour of Connecticut was ihe author of one of the earliest of these paralyzing missive.-; and he was nomi nated by acclamation by ihe Dein ictats of C. ni:ecncui as ttieir candidate for ioernor in 1S63 and his election tn- thiisiHsiically supported by the party. XI. In this City, one of our Demo crat e journals. The Daily JVeics, was an open, unqualified contemner of Ihe War on our side and champion of the Rebellioli, from first to last. It did its utiiiotsl to prevent enlistment in the Union armies, eulogized the Rebel chief, and proclaimed tint they could litded their reverses ; and was well understood to be their siipendiary and tool. In full view of ihee facts, iis ediior was in 1S62 made the regular Dciiu crane aindida'e for Congress in otie of our strong Democratic districts, running on the sa::ie ticket wnh Gov ernor Seymour and receiving nearly the full vote, of his party; and he has since been chosen by ihat pany lo a seal in our Slate Senate. XII. All tfie propositions, speeches. ncss sn.d votes of ValiHii'luham, By see fit to ansaer Messrs. Wiufi-ld and Hunt, r no according to their folly. Ju-t n woid. however, lo the former of these genii. -men. One of ihe very loremo-t D -inocrats in his district is (or was) Gen. Archibald C. Niven, w 10, very etriy in the war, wrote a le ter to a nephew who meiJi,aied hi-Ii-'m-nt to fighi foi the Union, urging him nol to do so. and representing ihe War on our side as cruelly oppre-sive and unjust. Thai letter was publi-hed; and thereupon Gen Niven was made the D -mooraiic candidate for Senator (in Mr. W infield s precise district) and received the full Demcratic vote, by a t - i ,t which he was returned ilected; bui the f;Senite, on a contest, gave the seat to ' his Republican competitor, Judge Low. We might multiply such acts to in finny; lut need we? Sutiioe it that, as the result cf a mo t iiijxm.u-, intent conteiup aiion of the hi.-tory o our greiil struggle, we do most tmtJoubtiiigly be lieve that the Uemocrats, as a party. wvre not at heart for ihe Union in its ternl'le struggle with Secession thai they did not rejuice at its triumphs nor deplore its defeats. We do not say that a intimity of them wished the Union permaneii'ly dissolved: we know. and have often stilled, that they did not but they believed that Union defeats and disasters would discrjdit and de stroy ihe Republican ascendancy, and thai ihey would thereupon come into power and coax the Rebels bade into the Union by all manner of concessions lo and prostrations to the Slave Power. They had no notion thai the Union could (or should) be saved otherwise than by letting the slaveholders have their way in it; and the road to this, ihey realized, lay not through Union victories but the contrary. Firmly grounded in thi3 conviction, are we at liberty to proclaim it? Do we deserve to be knocked d.iwn and s'umped on whenever we say what we believe? or only to be branded as liars?

The cuss uv the old Wing party wuz, that the respective individooal members thereof tood read and write, and had a knack uv dom iheir own ihinkin, and therefore it cood not be brot into that stait uv dissiplme. so necessary to sue c-ssez a party. That lame cuss is hangin onto the Ablishnists. They hung together from 1S56 lo 1S60 coz there was wal they called a prinsipple at stake; and on that prinsipple they elected Linkin. They wood hev fallen to pieces then, but our Southern breth erm decided to comment e operations for the new guverment it hed so long desired; and the overwhelmin pressure uv ihe war smothered all minor l-hoo-iii-i i ii i. anu all inUiviuooni fee'i.i. and they hung together long enough to see thai throo. N w, slid for the prinsipple wich weldrd 'em doorin the war, ihey are hold n together yit, and probably will untii ihey think this question wich ihey are disp-isin of is eisnosed of. Then ihey will split up and our opanin is made. We hev a solid phalanx, wich they can't win over or detaich 1 1 out us. W e hev them old veteran- who voied for Jaxon, an I who are still cti i for him. We hev tivm sturdy old yeomanry j ho will swear hat Biu Lite I ederalism ought to be put down and can'i be tolerated i.i a Repubhkin guverment, and who, Lle.-s their old souls ! don't know no more what Bloo Lite Federalism was than an unborn Oahy does ef Guy Fawkes. We hev that solid army uv voters whose knee yawn hidju&ly and whoss coats is out at ihe elbows, and whose children go barefoot in wmier while iheir dads is a drinkin cheep whiskey atid damin ihe guvermeni for impo.-in a income tax. We hev ihe patriotic citizens whoe noses blo-som like ihe lob-ter, and who live in mortal fear uv nigger ekahty; and we hev John Morriosey's contiiuens. These classes argyment won't move, and reasonin won't aze.

The Demokiisey ailiiz hed these and alioz will. L'z I remarked, the Ablishnists, when re'etvtd uv the pres-ure cow bearin onto iLem, will grow fractious, and split, and these classes will hev i; trouble to get ;nio a majority, and then our time comes.

Generally speaking, but little impor tance is attached to ihe taking of a county newspaper. This neglect and i ii J if P- re-ice had its reward the other day: Some lime ago a gentleman in tins lown was appointed an auditor to distribute the funds in the hands of an adiiiini-irator among lha creditors. Notice of ihe sitting of the auditor was published in two tf the county papers. It so happened that a few creditors re--idit.g in a ceitain portion of the county, who had claims collectively to the amount of seven or tight hundred" dol lars, from the negh cl of" taking a county paper, never heard cf the audit until ihe report cf the auditor had been con firmed Ly the court. They then came to town to inquire about the likelihood of securing ihtir claims, called upon an attorney who examined into the matter, ..iid informed them that ihey had for ever lo-t their money, and, we presume, charged ihem five dollars for the in formation. All this resulted from being too penurious or loo careless lo subscribe for a county paper. These gentlemen have leaned a lesson ihat will last them the balance cf iheir lives ; and it is a warning to oth ers who, from the same motives, fail to take iheir county paper. There is scarcely a man in this community who will not b'5 caught up some day on a I gal notice, unless he clandestinely reads his neighbor's, and every gentle man ?h..u'd be above f iltering like this.
