ing at Lincoln. Tipton, Mason, Doctor

TIIE PARTY OF TIIE RIGHT
TO
Tbe Party that have Left.
Loooking over a French telegram, the
other day. we noticed a beading "Tbe
party on the right, to the party on the
left." With the transposition of one
word it may well apply to the state of
our political world at present.
We have no partisan faction known as
the party of the right, nor yet one of
the left ; bat we have had a grand old
party that the people have very heartily
endorsed as the party in the right, and
a portion of that party, many of them
the loudest mouthed and most emphatic
in upholding this party's measures just
so long as they were run and managed
by their friends, have now become the
party of the left. Left, in more senses
than one. They have left a time hon
ored and hitherto faithful record behind
them; they have left the principles of
honor and truth in the rear and plunging
into a mad personal warfare on men
they have left the right way far, far be.
hind them, and earned the contempt and
scorn of their neighbors on the right.
Some of these left ones must blot out
hole years of their lives, whale pages
if their writings and teachings, and
iheir very every day walk and conversa
tion for some years, before they can
nake their friends on the right believe
(hat they are honest and sincere in their
nove to thp left. Left; It is a Fad
.-ord in English. It di-notcs an inferior
po-H-):; a turning towards the by-ways
i iife, rather than to the broad high
vays of position and fame.
"Keep to the right, boys," has be
come a proverb in our language how
then will this party of the left reconcile
their course now with their teachings,
foldings, even threats of former years?
Surely they are of the left now, and have
not "kept to the right" in this move;
It has another meaning to stop, to fal.
behind, to stay there ; all this it means
to be left and next November, unless
ths signs of the times go sadly awry,
this party of the left will be also the
party that is left.
MR. TIPTON'S SPEECH.
The gentleman who spoke last Thuisd y
has become famous on the page of lut
ter-day history, by his opposition to the
present administration, and his persist
ent efforts to disrupt the party th .t he
claims to have helped first see daylight
and strength, and which certainly made
him ail that he. is of a public man.
The Senator in some private remarks
very pleasantly said he supposed we
would have to ahuse him a little. We
hare to do no such thing ; on the con
trary, we shall eay some very good things
of him.
First and foremost his speech was not
& tirade of abuse. It was argumenta
tive rather than passionate, and strange
tt say, we heard very little, compara
tively, of either Grant or Greeley. It
was a fierce and hostile arraignment of
the Republican party, couched in decent
and temperate language for a public
speaker of to-day. Fitzgerald's Hall
was very comfortably firled to hear him.
We are led "to these remarks by our earn
est desire to see a better toue in our
public disputes than has generally pre
vailed, and next to the speaker that
uselessly and violently denounces every
body aud everything opposed to him as
vile, weak, false and hellish, is the Ed
itor who rushes off to his oanctum and
belittles himself, the intelligences of the
audience, and the dignity of the Press,
by stating that an opponent is no speak
er, a fool, a knave, there was naught but
empty benches to hear him, and so on.
We propose to make this )aper a
record of facts in such matters, so that
if- our best enemy tees a statement of
fact there, he will feel sure that it is true.
Seuator Tipton is a good speaker, an
able man, but we certainly never heard
him talk when we liked him less; and
he never was more unfortunate in his
choice of words and similes.
The charges that he makes have been
gone over times without number, and
have othtng'to da with the present issue
whatever.
By his own account the Georgia
-ch'-me was defeated ; it has never in
jured the country. The terrible and
sublime heroism of the virtuous few
(Liberals) was all thrown away in the
matter of guarding our elections by
soldiers, out of which they claim so
much, for. by his own showing, there
were enough virtuous men left in that
Sodom of Representatives to squelch it
before it ever became a law. Every
sane man in Nebraska knows that we
have never had a soldier to guard our
polls, never had two men at five dollars a
day to watch us, nor did ever a Northern
State in the Union. "Suppose a few reck
less or thoughtless men did attempt to
get such a bill through, is that any rea
son for arraigning a whole party, damn
ing an innocent President, and throwing
the country into a spasm of useless and
aimless rage, because they could not and
did not pass it.
In f-hort, the Senator's whole argu
ment simply showed what we all know,
that the party has not been immaculatr,
but it does not, and he cannot show any
good reasons why Gen Grant should le
blamed for what corrupt Senators and
Congressmen desire to do. Nor does he
give any reasons why the country would
not be safer under Gen. Grant who has
earnestly desired to break up and purpe
out these nests of fraud rather than
under the wing of an impracticable and
foolish old man, who is surrounded bj
harpies and flatterers.
The Senator says he never asked a po
sition for his son, and he has not "sour
ed" on the Administration for refusing
him. We believe him. Opposition
newspapers state differently, but w
choose to believe the Senator, when he
states a fact, only asking for the sanit
courtesy, in return, and that the out
pouring of a mad and crazy journalist
against the President may not be
crammed down our throats nolens voleox.
If Gen. Grant could stand forth and
defend himself as Senator Tipton can,
and does, we make no doubt that his
administration would come out in bettar
and purer lights than we have yet heard
or dreamed it could.
Last night's audience was not a sym
pathetic crowd. It was not a Tipton
crowd, nor yet a Greeley crowd and,
pardon us, Senator and gentleman, ali,
nothing but the fact that we are re
markably bashful and retiring, prevent
us from telling the world that it was de
cidedly a Grant crowd.

had been n minuted Minister to Austria

by drawing a vivid pen picture of Tip.

Here is a spceimen of literalism with
a witness :
In the year A. D. 1S55 one James
Orchard, who had obtained from the
United States a land warrant for his
services as a 6oldier in the Mexican war,
came to Lucas County, Iowa, for tbe
purpose of locating the same ; and after
traveling over the -county found a tract
which exactly suited him. Getting off
his horse he took from his pocket his
land warrant for 1C0 acres, opened and
laid it upon the ground, at the same
time.gaying, "In the name of the United
States'! lay my land warrant npou this
ract." . lie got on hi horse and rode
off, leaving his warrant spread upon the
Sound, fully of the opinion that he had
id his warrant as tbe law intended he
should.
BUFFALO LAXD.
We are in receipt of this new and
most agreeable volume of over 500 pages
from the press of E Hannaford & Co.,
(Publishers of FIRST CLASS Subscrip
tion Books, Cincinnati and Chicago.)
The author is Hon. W. E. Webb, of
Topeka, Kansas, long and widely known
from his connection with the interests of
emigration, and a strikingly original and
popular humorist.
It describes th wealth and wonders,
the mysteries and marvels of the bound
less West that wild region so much
talked about, yet so little understood,
whose growth and development seem
like a tale of Eastern magic. It is su
perbly illustrated, containing no less
.han fifty-three original and striking en
gravings, from actual photographs and
designs by Prof. Henry Worrell, and ex
ecuted (the enterprising publishers as
sure us) at a total cost of over $2,000.
In a t-hort review like this, it is, of
course, impossible to convey a perfect
idea of tljis admirable work. To any
one who has the least touch of "the
Western fever," it must prove really in
valuable ; and for all classes of readers,
without exception, it is the liveliest and
most laugh provoking book we have seen
for many a day. It abounds with valu
ible information, the reliability of which
i.- vouched for by Governor Elarvey, of
Kansas, and others. It fairly brims over
with wit and humor, and many of its
chapters rival Mark Twain's happiest
-tyle.
" Buffalo Land " embraces a wide and
varied range of topics, among tbem the
following :
Details of great interest and import
ance concerning the natural features,
vast resources, rapid devel pment and
ilniost incredible progress, of the far
Western States and Territories, with
glimpses of their mighty future ;
Curious and interesting facts connected
with the climatic and other changes con
sequent upon the settlement and denser
population of the newly-reclaimed West
ern lands ;
Fresh and authentic information,
from official sources, respecting the sup
ply of fuel and lumber available for use
n the Great Plains; the cost of a farm,
what the emigrant should bring with
h m, stock-raising at the west, &c.
A full summary of the Homestead
rind Pre-emption laws and regulations,
prepared by a former Register of the
U. S. Land Office.
Full and accurate descriptions of the
habits, characteristics, etc., of the sav
age red man, buffalo, wolf, elk, antelope,
etc , as found in their native wilds and
on the out-skirts of civilization ;
Graphic and thrilling narratives of
hunting adventures, stalking the bison,
encounters with Indians, etc. ;
Vivid pictures of life on the frontiers ;
the past and present of the Great Plains;
the vast inland sea, and the marvelous
ikitnal life with which it once teemed;
Highly interesting ' accounts of the
geological wonders of the West, anti
quarian and scientific researches, etc.

everywhere, allowing exclusive territory
nd the most liberal commissions- The
firm is a prompt and reliable one. We

J THAI. EARLY" LETTER. -
This note Southern leader is out with
u letter against Greeley, and tells some
truths that might be pondered on by
others than Democrats. After telling
of his exile and the hardships he en
dared, he says:
If it Fhould ever be your fate to go
through such an experience, Mr. Editor,
which I trust may never be the case,
then you will understand the fallacy of
your conjecture, and the implacability
and impracticability which you are
pleased to attribute to me ; and you will
also understand how it is that I am sus
picious of all compromises with any of
the authors of our, wrongs and sufferings,
nd that if it were possible I would
make greater sacrifices and go to much
f irther lengths to "crush the htted foe "
than you would now be willing to sanc
tion You would also understand my
reluctance to take as a leader one of the
main authors of all our woes, and I
think you "would then be willing to ex
elaim with me, in the oft quoted lan
guage of the Lat n poet, 'Timeo Danaos
rt dona f rentes !" As you have made
some refeience totacticsand flank move
ments, I must say that if you had fol
lowed the immortal Jackson in one of
his great flunking operations, you would
have learned the necessity of a compact,
firm, self-reliant organization, aud a so
of a leader in whom the most implicit
confidence could be placed ; and
you would understand the madness
of disbanding in the face of the enemy
and going over pell-mell to the first de
serter from the ranks of the enemy who
should ware his old white hat as a snare
and a delusion.
Here is a piece of information which
could not be obtained at any price except
from a Paris paper : "Miss Grant is one
of the most highly educated women in
Europe. She speaka with facilty Eng
lish, German, French, and Italian. She
has contributed nnder the veil of anony
mous signatures to several American
magazines ; and on her return to her
own country she - is to marry the son of
one of the richest manufacturers of New
York, who is a memter of the Ameri
can Parliament."

The next Re-union will be at
BROWN VILLE,
On the first Wednesday in September,
1873.
Gen. John M. Tuater was then se
lected as the Orator of the day.
Hon. John Gillespie called attention
to the fact that an appropriation of can
non for monumental purposes had been
voted to Nebraska, and some action
ought to be taken on the matter.
Senator Tipton suggested that the
next Re-union would be the proper
time, and if it was so announced, a lar
ger attendance would be given, and a
more satisfactory disposal of the busi
ness arrived at.
Gen. Cunningham moved that a
committee be appointed to attend to
this matter, especially. This debate led
to the passage of the second resolution,
to which we call especial attention.
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the Dext Re-union be
at Brownville, Neb., on the first Wednes
day of September, 1873.
Resolved, That the President, Vice

A friend of ours, who is a clerk in a
New York mercantile establishment, re
lates a colloquy from which a enriffhtlv
youth in the same store came out second
best. A poor boy came along with his
machine, inquiring:
"Any knives or pcissors to grind?"
"Don't think we havo " replied the
young gentldioan, facetiously; "but
can't you sharpen wits?"
Ies, if you ve got any!", was the
prompt retort, leaving the interrogator
rather at a loss to produce ths article.

NEW DAILY IN COUNCIL BLUFFS.
We hava received the prospectus of

Council Bluffs. Mr. C. B. Thomas,
Esq., takes charge of the editorial de

a guaranty that the paper will be first

and starts out with a full cors of com
petcnt editors and managers.

Tbe Pen and the Sword Ureeley ver
mis 3 rant
From the Saline County Post.
That "The Pen is mighter than the
Sword" is doubtless true, but it does not
follow that an expert of the one is bet
ter fitted for the Presidency than the
representative of the other.
The President of this nation should
be distinguished for executive force for
those qualities of heart and mind neces
sary for th s, honesty, tact, wisdom, pru
dence and firmness.
By his pen Mr. Greeley has exerted a
moulding power upon his party and the
nation. His genuine sympathy for hu
manity and his zealous advocacy of
equal rights for all, have gained for him
the esteem and adoiiriiticn of ranny.
His honesty and power in the use of
language are undoubted. " Beyond this
neither his characteristics nor his tiaiaing
specially fit him for the duties of the
Presidency.
On the other hanL the discipline of
one who wields the sword, of one who
directs the movements of an army,tcnds
to develop executive force. -Such is the
discipline which General Grant has en
joyed, and to some good purpose, as his
history during the past four years con
clusively demonstrates.
The unbiased mind which studies the
history of the two men, will decide that
if the choice i8 confined to those two.
Grant, not Greeley, should be intrusted
with the responsible duties of the chief
magistrate of our nation.
Means What beMays.
Though "confirmations strongas proofs
of holy writ," and as numerous as the
sands on the sea shore, were produced
to prove that Dr. Pierce, the proprietor
of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, is in ear
nest and means what he says, when be
offers $500 reward for any case of Catarrh
which he cannot cure, yet there would
be some skeptics and fogies who would
continue to shout, "Humbugl" "Hum
bug! 1" "It cannot be, because Dr.
Homespun says Catarrh cannot be cured.'
Now, this Dr. Homespun is the identical,
good-natured old fellow who honestly be
lieves and persists in declaring that this
earth is not round or spherical, but flat
as a "slap jack," and does not turn over,
otherwise the water would all be spilled
out of DeaconBascom's mill pond. But
astronomical science has positivelv dem
onstrated and proven that Dr. Home
spun is wrong in supposing this earth to
be flat and sattionary, aud medical sci
ence is daily proving the fact that he is
cm less mistaken and behind the times
in regard to the curability of Catai i h.
In sli rt, it has beeu pos tively proven
that this world moves and that medical
s.-ience is progressive the opinion of Dr.
Homespun to the contrary notwithstand
ing. That Dr. Sage's .Catarrh Remedy
will cure Catarrh, thousands who have
used it attest. ,- ,
Then buy it and use it, in doubt do
not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over
the land.
Among the greatest sen.ation th; t
they proposed to open the summer sea
son with at that fashionable watering
place, Niagara Falls, is a grand bufialo
hunt. The fasionable city people who
spend the season at the Falls desire to
get a glimpse of far western prairie sports,
therefore that buffalo chase was conceiv
ed. They sent out to Nebraska for the
live buffaloes, which they propose to
convey to Niagara Falls in cars, and then
have a party of Pawnee Indians in orig
inal costume to hunt them.
The Omaha Herald touches us lightly :

in the yield of milk varied from a half
litre tv one litre per cow, at times when
a decrease to about the same amount is

eight weeks before calving. At other
periods the increase was greater, ecelerut
