V For some time past, designing politi cians, whose creed ia not "prinoiple," but the Jesuitical doctrine that "the means are sanctified to the end," have been steadily trying to educate the pub-. he mind for the coming assault upon the nominee of the approaching Philadel phia Convention. These barnacles, who are dredged up by the machinery of our politictl wheei of necessity, stick with wonderful ? tenacity t the keel of the ehip cf State ; but, thank fortune, as that gallant old craffc threads her way through the national shoals and quick- tands, she rids herself of them, and they are' left to he acted on by the ebb and flow of the public mind, until qui- obloquy they have stirred to no purpose, fave as a hiding place for their own po--lmcal ari- , Tj the steady-going, honest v It r;:j to h&zt cr e fcr '.I-., j to tha Cicjir.-iti Ccnven tlc.

We hope to see the Republicans of Ne braska repudiate this Senator's advice with as much gusto as he has exhibited in repudiating them and tlar behests in the Senate. His ostensible object is rrm 'n the party; but beneath this twin film any one may see the mushroon fulcrum, and the straw lever that ?be- ing used to upset the power of Republi- canism. If. the gentlemen, who are anw fortunately linked with him in this move meet, earnestly meant reform within the ranks of the Republican party, they couli d8t as well, and much more suo? cessfally. have sought a remedy for the evils they eomplain of within that party. Had their allegations against the Presi dent been founded in love of tha prin ciples 6T- Republicanism, Republicans would. have listened attentively, and weighed their charges with the delibera tive, calmness which eneures a just ver dict; but when these gentlemen encour age the passive poli'pf the Dejgocrat3," pat the labor ers on the back, and ehoitt amwssftw'the impditent 60uth, with a view to massing all tlo ele ments in opposition to tho ReuMicaB party against us, they simply r'jw us how necessary it b : to ' put no faithin their professions ; but rather to rallyas one man, against the machinations of a cabal that s&ks to debauch Republicans frC-.icty- : s. T-TTrue Boiritlon oivthe Cincinnati movement is in But-shelh'The Sena tors who seek to defeat the national council of Republicans at Philadelphia, belong to that numerous class of indi viduals who cannot stand prosperity. Elevated to high positions by tho popu lar appreciation of meritorious services in their past, history, they became infla ted with the idea that they were the possessors of invulnerable power. When their dethands for official preferment for their friends and followers of the past were refused by the President, in the eavageness. ot uncensuan natrea tney murmured "crucify him," and as this want of appreciation of their conceited power became more and more manifest on the part of Gen. Grant, thosw mur murs found vent in undignified aad un warrantable assaults upon him. So soon, however, a3 these doughty knights of Senatorial infidelity became alarmed t tho action of the people in sustaining the objeet ef thsir ill will, their disturbed nerves and. palpitating hearts, sought Tefuge in the arms of such political para- LUUUi 3 A3 tlAO laws - kv., "Grata Brown Republicans," and "Cop perhead Democrats." The progeny of this illicit intercourse will bo a bastard batch disowned and disinherited by the honest people of. the Union. Let not Republican Nebraska stultify herself by joining in this medley. Whoever among us is so forgetful of principle, so obliv ious of what the Republican party has accomplished,' and 60 lost to every feel ing prompted by integrity as to permit his name to be used in furthering the malicious schemes of these Senators, will live to feel how keen is the efleo of the barb thrust by the indignation of a betrayed people. Founded in personal hatred of the President, the platfoTm of these political Quixotes is destined to furnish material for the political hga boards ef each oao ot them, lneir a tempts to mislead honest Republicans, will result, to such as follow them, a repetition on a very small scale of Sam son Agonistes- Wrhen their Senatorial robes are lifted sufficiently to expose the malice and personal hatred in : their hearts, tho disgusted people will , turn their hacks upon thsm. If they have been wronged within the party within that party let them seek to be righted, and not ak us for sympathy, after co quetting with the enemies of Republi canism, who now make common cause with them. Let every. Republican in Nebraska remember that his party has wen its present proud pro-eminence in history by battling against the very self same Democrats, who, like so many po litical wolves, are howling with delight at tha prospect of our reverend Senator destroying us. We, the people, made him Senator, but not for the-purpose of betraying us into the lands of Dcaioc racy. We, the people, applauded him for hu patriotism in days gone by ; and we, the people must, and will condemn and consign him and his coadjutors to an ignomirious political grave The Beal Origin of eap Xr. ; St. Patrick, havinsr "driven all the frogs out of the bogs" of Ireland, was walkmcr lonir the shores of Loueh Neagh, where he was accosted by Saint Bridget, in tears, and was told that a mutiny had broken out in the nunnery ovefvwhich she presided the ladies claiming the right of oopping the ques tion.

ExpresstiS the hope that tho Cin cinnati Convention will be success and, pledges the Council of Twenty to be there on the first Wednesday in May next. i . This is a remarkable 'letter. Tho po: sitions taken, which are well lounded, are cardinal principles of the party from which the "twenty'-' are proposing to recede ; while, on the other hand, tho false doctrines set forth are precisely those witj which the Democracy to whom 'they propose look for help is thoroughly identified. The first charge that "the Republican party is under the control of individuals" is a gross libel upon the most independ ent membership that ever composed a political party in this country or any other. A clique undertook to control it in 18C3 by attempting to defeat the renomination of President Lincoln, but the masses of tho party rebuked the po litical schejper8 by renominating him by acclamation ' What tho "twenty" want is precisely that which they charge to ex ist in the Republican party, namely, to control millions of Republican voters "for personal purposes." ' 2. The "tweuty" desire "the pardon '' of political . offenses." That is to say, they want the men, who beat, tortured, starved, poisoned, and murdered Union prisoners at Andersonville, and other Southern prison pens, restored to all the political rights enjoyed by tho men who fought and bled for the 6alvationo the nation, lhe horrible crimes or the re bellion are designated by the rose-water term VpoliticaVoffenses." - 3. Mr. Greeley and his friends think clif.nii ho T.rntftecl in the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution ;" or, in other words, they demand the repeal f tho Ku-Klux law,' so Qat desperadoes in South Carolina and Georgia, may have free license to burn, rob, and murder ne groes and their wives and children. 4. The manifesto declares "that Fed eral taxation should be ircposed for rev enue." Only a, few days since, Mr. Greeley Said if such a plank was to be inserted in the Cincinnati platform he could be counted out," and yet he is now so fierce for a new party, hi3 "personal grievances" are so overwhelming, his spite ngaiifc4PresfCht Grant is so great, that he tuflis Tship on the darling prin ciple of aifeTime, and puts his name to a letter denouncing the principle of. pro-1 tection to home industry," if that plank of the letter means anything in the or dinary interpretation of political phrase ology, 5. Tho letter "demands civil "service reform." The Republican party is the only political organization that ever made an effort to inaugurate it . .It was President Jackson who declared that "to the victore belong the spoils,'' and the Democratic . party lived and died in the active fulfillment of the policy thus de clared. President "Grant recommended civil service reform, a Republican Con gress Ean-tionsd it, and the Republican party of tho nation supports it. w The sixth plank is a revival of the doctrii-3 cf State's rights. It is not sur prising that Mr. Greeley sbauld adopt this oil exploded idea. At the. breaking out' of the robellibn 'ho'waafed "Mr. Lin coin to let the South go. He demanded peace at any price ; and while tho Re publican party fought to crash the re bellion. Mr. tireeley went to -Niagara Falls to patch up a dishonrable com pro miso. Every old Democrat in the South believes in the doctrine of State's rights; and by. the adoption of the sixth plank of the letter the "twenty" land them selves squarels iflPtb'e Democratic camp, and virtually subscribe to a dissolution f the Unio n, or a hew rebellion. . x The reference to corruption, and spe cifically to, tho Tamnjany frauds, in the seventh and eighth planks, by Mr. GreeT ley, is peculiarly unfortunate. Tarama ny was prosecuted and brought to jus tice by a Republican Administration journal ; the indictment had been drawn, the culprits brought befora the tribunal of an indignant puhlio opinion, and the trial had proceeded far toward convic tion before Mr. Greeley's paper gave any material aid to the cause of the paople against a Demoeratio cabal, recking with the most gigantic system of fraud and corruption known to modern municipal history. Tammany is the only exposi tion of Democratic government recently extant . Democracy in power might reasonably We expected to do for the na tion what it did for New York. city. Through the central point of their letter free trade and ' State's rights Mr., Geeley and his friends throw themselves into the arm?, of aacient Democracy to 1 tight for the lost cause. -Otiumica Cpu- 1 it or. ; , . ..

It is too long for the eolumn3 of the Her ald, bnt we extract the following sum ming up of the arguments that the Board are presenting to settlers, toindu.ee them to come to Nebraska. It is, a truthful and forcible presentment of Nebraska's case. - - It is a sacred duty we owerto our own people, and to the friends in our old home-lands, to mke known, by honest statements and well established statistics the peculiar advantages cf our - great State. -We do not require any exagger ated, fanciful stories. Facts honest facts, are most convincing and most profit able in the long run. We have an abun dance ef such material, and should use it. Let us place these inducements for emigration to Nebraska before the publio both in Europe and America, by all the modern means of dissiminating informa tion by - pamphlets, circulars; public documents and noma papers. Let our agents be men of address, influence, char acter and brains. . '--.'' . Let us use the press, but particularly of our own State. Our publio journals .T i l . ll. t-..lJ iq Nebraska ore a credit ta iba QOimunU.J ty: well edited, evincing energy and ca pacity equal to those furthejpte-tst. Local information is. most interestiag to those desiring to emigrate: this can best be ob tained through our local press. Benev olent organizations established in " the east by foreign-born citizens, designed to foster and promote emigration, : may be used as auxiliary to our scheme, and re dound to the mutual advantage of "the Statfl and immigrant. .--' ' I cr inot forbear enumerating aTew of tho great advantages of our State as a home for the settler, which I would pub lish to the world. Chief among these may bo mentioned the central locality of our State in the Union:- its long water frontage and interior water courses; its extensive railway facilities already estab lished; its rich, well watered prairies and their great range of production; our su- Eerior schools," doubly. endowed; our ealthy climate; and above all, I would make known the existence of that wisest and most beneficial law, enacted - by the general Government, which bequeathed ferever, the largest portion, of this rich heritage'to be apportioned in "home steads" to actual settlers, in ordor that the inherent benefits of Nebraska should be enjoyed by all, poor and rich alike. Free as Nebraska's pure, air-7-free as the waters of its rills and rivera, are our broad, rich acres, which await the coming of men and women, of every dine and creed, to rseeive thU generous bounty. Nebraska i3 the last etate east of the Rocky mountains, - whioh contains any. great quantity of good lands subject to "pre-emption" or "homestead'- entry All that great seetion of our state west of tlje 6th principal meridian,1' now belong i to the general government, is incla , Ud in these reservation?, and can only be possessed by actr 5.1 settlers. The own- erthip of the . o lauds by tho imEaijrract does not eutail a life loag labor of ioreci clearing and stone gathering, bat tho first year's work is remunerated by a re tarn in crops. - The prolific soil scarcely stops nourish ing the luxuriant native grass before its productive power takes new form in rich corn fields and waving harvests. Ninety days on a Nebraska 'homestead," with $2U0 and a team, constitutes the founda tion of a moderate fortune. The value of a small farm, "down east," invested in the improvement of Nebraska lands, forms an estate a man may be proud of eacn acre ot which, in time, wifl equal in valuo every acre of the little old farm lett behind. Convince theso intelligent eastern farmers of these facts and then our fortunes and theirs are sreured. The United States Agricultural Bureau fur nishes us figures which, if read by emi grants, would be our strongest advertise ment, t rom a few of these statistics compare the productiveness of half a doz en states in the yield per acre of corn. During a period of five years Nebraska averaged 32.54 bushels: Illinois 31.52: Kansas, 31. 3G; Michigan, 31.80; Ken tucky. 30.3G; New York, 28.54. During the same period the average yield of. wheat m Nebraska was 17.70 bushels per acre; in Kansas, 15.42. Minnesota, 15.36; New York, 14.50; Missouri, 14.17; Iowa 14.04, New Uerseyr 13.76; Wisconsin, 13.20: Michin, 13.07; Illinois, 12.14; Pennsylvania, 12.10; Indiana, 10.88; Ohio, 9.77. Thus it will be seen that Nebraska stands t the head of the states mentioned in the pCduction of these two great staples ot tooM -Statistics from the same reliable sonrce show a like remark able productiveness in tho other staples of agricultural districts; Rye, oats, bar ley, buckwheat, potatoes, turnips, beets ana otner root crops. As to fruit, the great agricultural lux ury of other states on the same parallel. Nebraska stands foremost The fact that indigenous native fruit3, in great va riety, yield spontaneously, is a proef in advance that cultivated fruits will like wise be proiifio in every part of our state. Among the specimens of fruit exhibited last fall at the National Fair, at Rich mqnd, Va., Nebraska was the only state filling the requirements. The official re port says: "The committee on special pre miums for the best collection of apples, poaches, pears and grapes, report that tho only entry meeting the requirements I and we respectfully recommend the pre- I ... inn ? i i . - oi mis premium is that trom .Nebraska, .-urn ui iptw ouereu Dy. ine .national Agricultural Society, be awarded accord ingly Stock-raising in our Western districts require scarcely any provision for winter.

Tomblin of In dian Creek Township, that Messrs Apple gate and Watson have discovered coal one and a half mile south of Emerson. Mr. Watson owns a farm on section 27, town ship' 72, range 40. After digging a well about 70 feet deep, it wa3 abandoned on account of damps. The earth at that dep th indicated the nearness of coal. Mr, Applegato a'Blacksmitbrof Emerson pro posed to make a suitable auger and ex plore the country below. He did so, and at the depth of 150 feet ho struck a vein of the best quality of coaL They have now bored into it about 3 feet and yet, an experienced coal miner thinks they are not through the surface of the vein. It is supposed that tho vein may prove to be 10 feet thick and probably more. If this discovery meet3 the prespnt ex pectations it will be one of the riehest re sources on the Missouri "slope." Should a large body of coal be developed so near to Emerson, this already flourishing town will begin to put oa airs. It will settle the crosaingof the Chillecothe Railroad and cause Emerson to announce herself tho. "initial point" of the Union Pacific.

The following happy illustration of what the Cincinnati Convention will be, we clip from aa article by Wm. Lloyd Garrison, in New York Jndpendent : It "now seems probable that, when these shall come toeether, they will pre sent a company as piebald as that which affiliated wltlsvid wi he was hiding in the cavaVauifaii!: "And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was dis contented, gathered themselves unto him, and he became a captain over them ; and there we're with him about four hundred men." Good for St. Louis. We find the following pithy and rea sonable article in the St Louis Dn ocrat of Monday last. : ' It will be seen by a persual of it, that St Louis intends to second the efforts of Omaha in behalf of tho proposed Trunk Road. . ; Here is the article: A RAILROAD TO OMAHA. A controversy of great interest has arisen between the States Iowa and Neb raska, through their rival cities on tho Missouri, Omaha and Council Bluffs. Four Iowa railroads terminate at Coun cil Bluffs, and the Union Pacific has its terminus fixod by law at Omaha. Want ed, a connection.

WbMf An Omaha tnan Knows A boat There is a happy individaal in Omaha wh has a livid ring about his neck, which he furtively covers with a scarf. he Omaha Bee man got into his confi dence and found out that the poor fellow ' tPQ left an ineffacable scar encir- C 1Dg igular. For the benefit of any of our rv 4 . rope s end so . A. , experience in S'c, wo give tais mau 8 tuba. V f lAn . . . He says that froDkT . A. rs,T.rtr.no?tinie the fen- tence was gan nerving lmselt tor tbe ilV,,Jt and when it finally arrived hrH. ST) cared to meet his doom. Still, oi p r- occa sionally a thought that he might not dio after all, camo into his mind, and he was not without hope that he might be re prieved, until the fatal rope was around his neck. Then he knew ho woold be executed, and- eadeavored to turn his thoughts upward. His eyes were ban daged, his hand tied behind him, his legs securely fastened together, and at the word the trap fell and he was soon after swinging at a ropo's end.; lie says the rope was quite small, and it cut into the skin of his neck, but he felt no pain from the wound. During the time he was falling he says he experienced mora agony " than at any time subsequently, until ho was again , in the land of the living. : - ' ' - ' , . When he brought up at the rope s end a very acute pain, only momentary in duration, seized upon his brain, and then he seemed to feel &? drowsiness creeping upon him. He was without pain, while he thought he was in another world, where everything was beautiful beyond description. It appearsthat a most gorgeous panorama was passiog be fore his eyes, ho longed to cry out in ap proval Suddenly the scene changed, and an impenetrable darkness settled over all Ho came back to a realization of his position, and waited in impatience for the final change to take place. lie felt an iey coldness gradaally creeping from his feet upward, and he reaisoned to himself that as soorf as it should reach bis heart he would die. He seemed to take pleasure in noting the progress of thi3 chill, and wondered if when people die from natural causes, they experienced tho same sensations. All at once he be camo conscious of a similar chill creep ing over his head, downward, His face grow cold as marble, ahd he knew h3 end was . near. He noticed the increas ing progress of the chills, and thought that whea they came together ovA- the hnrt. ha would then be dead. Still he Ldid not fear nor have pain. . IfinaUy the Joked for result came, -and it seemed to -.tmthat with one wail of-agony, pro- : : ... v duced by a Euaden pain, he leaped up ward, as liht as air. and then all was a blank. Ha remembers nothing more until several hours afterward, when he awoke to consoiousnes and knew his life had been saved. For hours, aye, days, hia agony was tho most acute, and he says he had rather be Lung a dozen times than resuscitated ence. It ap peared to him that ha was surrounded at times by hundreds of little imps, who took delight in sticking neeedlcs into hia flesh and earning his body with hot irdns. His head racked with pain and bis wholo syjtem seemed tho seat of every disease imaginable. After several days he re covered aufficiently to nit up, when it was found that in all probability he wo aid tarry the marks of his terrible experi ence all his life. His neck refused1 to succumb to treatment for months after ward, and when finally tho wound healed it left the livid ring already spoken of. 81. Lou la Produce Market. Sr. Locu, April 10, 1873.
