Neg lect to do so may cause their postponement till the following week. Claim Association Meeting. At a mooting f the Bollevuo and l'latle Valley Claim Association, it warf Rksoi.vf.p, That the members be requested to make a plat of their several claims, show ing as near as possible, their connection with the Government Surveys, ami also the streams and roads that pass through or bound thorn, so that a map may be made for the use of the , Association, and that such plats be handed to the Secretary ns soon as possible. JOSEPH DYSON, President. W. II. Cook, Secretary. f:jy The President's Message, on ac count of the irregularity of the mails, has not yet reached us. We think that the I'ost Master (icnerol should inquire into the causes of these delays, as they ore extremely annoying to our business men. If a slight fall of snow visits us, or a cold day, the mail does not make its appear ance at all, hut waits till the snow is gone or a warm day comes, and even then one half of the mail matter due does not come to hand, as the arrangement was only made for a small mail, nobody could for u moment think that the contractors would bring a large one, as it might injure the very valuable stock employed on the dif ferent routes leading to this point. Wo do hope that the department will look to tins matter, or else our citizens will have to petition to higher powers. Drug Store. We understand that T.J. Boykix, M. D., intends opening a large stoc k of Drugs and Medicines in our city, the coining Spring. Such an establishment is much needed in our community, and we have no hesitation in saying that the Dr.'s efforts will be crowned with success. We had the pleasure of a Visit from Hon. J. A. STEiwnrHGER.of Elkhorn City, and W. J. Foster, Esq., of Council Bluffs, yesterday afternoon. Mr. S. is a young man of much energy and ability, and with a good and true heart always makes friends wherever ho goes. We congratulate the Northern District of Douglas in their choice of so good and worthy a representative. 0" Notwithstanding the recent cold spell, the people still flock to Bellevue. Among the late arrivals we are glad to notice that of Mr. S. II. Wattles, and family, from Michigan. A few more such additions, is all that is necessary to com plete our beautiful city. (iermantomi Telegraph. This paper, so long a welcome friend to us, canio to hand on Saturday last, and looks as well as ever. The Major under stands the wants of his patrons, and his valuable sheet is welcome where're it goes, and particularly in this land where the sun goes down. Game. Our citizens are at present regaling themselves on Venison, Prairie Chickens, Turkeys, &.C., which are universally plenty this season. We assisted materially at destroying sundry portions of a very fine Turkey, served up in excellent style at the Benton House on Sunday last, and can assure the epicures of the country that the folks of that establishment understand serving up such articles. Awfully Sudden Death. The New Orleans papers announce the death of Judge John C. Lable, of that city. The Picayune says : " The manner of his death was awfully sudden. His wife had been indisposed, and he remained home to keep her com pany. He lay on a low sofa, quite well and uncommonly cheerful. She reclined along the floor, leaning on his shoulder, his arm about her the child on the sofa playing with its father.. Suddenly the little girl asked abruptly, " Papa, what makes your eyes roll so ?" and with a con vulsive stretch he said to his wife, " My uarimg, i am dying! JNot unused to spasms of illness, she answered, " Don't dear don't frighten me so." " I tell you" he replied with an emphasis, " I am dying!" She started to get restoratives; he said, "No, no let me die in peace!" when his face recovered a smiling expression, his Junbs relaxed, and he breathed but two or three times again. The shrieks of his wife and child alarmed the house and neiffhborhood'; but all efforts of resu- sciation failed. From fullness of life to torpid death the interval wns scarcely five minutes. Judge La hi e was a native of New Jersey. "He came out to New Orleans about tweiuy-two or three years ago. and was engaged for some time as tutor in a family. He worked at one time as a printer, and early connected himself with the press in an editorial capacity." The Galena Courier of the 22 ml say lliat the City Council of Galena, has au thorized the issuing of bonds to the amount of $100,000, to aid in the construction of he (lulena and Southern Wisconsin Kailroad.

Maid, Vite and Widow. j Dr. James H. BogarJus of Kingston, ' I'lsder county, N. V., died at the (Jimrd House on Sunday, after a very short ill ness, under singular circumstances. He j had been for two years engaged to be married to a young lady named Isabella ; Hamilton, but on two occasions, the mar- j riage had been put oft" by a funeral sud denly occurring in the bride's family. Dr. Bogardus being taken sick a few days since, and his physician observing that liis illness was partly the result of melancholy elicited on inquiry, the above facts. Whereupon he recommended that the marriage be at once solemnized. It was done ; and in twenty minutes after, the husband expired in his wife's arms, in the presence of the company. fl'tica Herald.

Glenwood, Iowa, Oct. 23, 1856. 1-tf The Tribune for 1857. The Election is past, and Its result proves ; that the work devolved on the Republican party is not yet completed. In all the East ern and Northern portions of the country in New-England, New-York, Ohio and the North West, the Republican banner floats in tri umph ; while in Southern Jersey, Pennsylva nia, Indiana and Illinois in short, wherever grogshops more abound than school-houses. ami whore- common schools are too new and j too feeble to have educated the present gen-: oration of voters the black flag of Slavery j obstructs the sunshine. A stranger to Ame- ' rica might distinguish those portions of our country most blessed with Education, Intelli gence, "Tlirift and Virtue, by scanning the re turns of the Presidential contest of lS5rt. We have failed of present success, not because the people are against us, but because that large portion who did not hear or read the ar gument, and do not know what were the real questions at issue, went almost solid against us, reversing the verdict which the great ma jority of the educated and intelligent en deavored to pronounce. These facts indicate the path of pressing duty. With no unmanly repining over what is irrevocable with no abatement of heart or hope because the triumph of Liberty in her new ordeal is not won at the Long Island and White Plains of her struggle with no shadow of regret 1 hut the responsibility of governing is not confided to her champions before the People were fully ready to sustain them we begin afresh the' work of diffusing that vital truth which, in regard to the concern of this world as wll of the next, mks Free ju- deoj. New, in the Slave Powoi'a heyday of victory, when Its m!iiiter and servitors nie gatliciiiig and plotting to make the most of their triumph and crush out'' the spirit which they vainly believe to be crucified and entombed now,' when the faint-hearted or cold-liourlod who lately basked in the sun shine of our premature hopes are hauling off to repair damage and talking of abandoning the rugged arena of Politics for more quiet and flowery fields now, in (hi hour of wear iness and shadow, Tn r. Tsisrsr. renews its vows of otorn.il hostility to everv form of ty ranny over the bodies orsouls of men to the shameful assumption that the benighted and feeble, whether ill soul or body, are to be re garded nnd treated as the convenience or the prey of t heir iscr or stronger brethren to the domination of despots and oligarchs, whether of empires or plantations to the enslavers of cities and kingdoms In Europe or the breeders ol children for llie auction-block and the cot-ton-ticld in Virginia or Alabama. The doctrine that no human being was ever created for the benefit or advantage of an other that nil service between man and man should be free and reciprocal that the labor er should not toil anil sweat to pamper others' pride or minister to others' luxury, but for the sastenance and comfort of those hoar ami dear to him is destined to certain triumph. It mi-st prevail, for God reigns, and Earth was not created to be a theatre of injustice, op pression Hint misery forever. It must tri umph ; for all true prophecy affirms ami the vindication ol the Divine benignity impera tively require it. It mcst (riumpli ; for De mocratic America cannot always remain the scolfof aristocrats and the shame of reform ers and liberals throughout the Old World. It vi . r tiiuuipli; for Man history is not a vinos or a riddle, but everywhere instinct Willi meaning; and no heroic effort ever failed of its effect no drop of martyr blood was over shed in vain. Hut even if wo Republican were disposed to fold our arms in slumber, onr adversaries would not permit it. They are busy to-day in lengthening their cords and trengtheiiing their stakes with a vigilance and activity which reveals a consciousness on their part that their dominion must be made sure forth with or their sceptr-r will have forever de- i'arled. To-day, invrmidoms of the Slave 'inter threaten and harass Northern Mexico, me encamped in the heart of Central Ameri ca, and waging a war of extermination on the distracted inhabitants of it petty Republics, while it by turns leers and scowls at Cuba, while its most ruthless bauds are precipitated on devoted Kansas, under the protection and smiles of the Federal Administration. Even fs we write, the telegraph inform us that wenty Free-State men, guilty of attempting to defend their home against the rapine and violence of Buford's and Titus' blood-thirsty bandits, have been convicted by Lecompte's Court of manslaughter! and sentenced to five years' imprisonment at hard labor a felons. This is but n fair specimen of what has long passed for "justice" in Kansas a justice which takes the criminals into pay aiid nids them in hunting down, plundering nnd "wi ping out'' the Innocent, whom it consigns to the State prison if they are ever goaded into the madnoRs of resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs aa unhappy Kansas has for twelve months endured, even'Hungary or Poland has never known ; and the Power at whose instigation these villainies were and are perpetrated sit enthroned in the White House, and ha just arhieved another four years' ascendancy in the Federal Govern ment. Who, in view of these facts, can say that Republicans may now pile their arms, even for an hour? The Thihcnf. will be, a it has been, a Political journal avowedly, though not ex clusively so. It recognize the truth that Freedom and Slavery are here grappled in deadly conflict, and that in the result one of them must lose all control over the Federal Government. Hut, while it give prominence and emphasis to the discussion and elucida tion of the great issue of the day, it einks none of the characteristic of a Business ami Family Newspaper. The proceedings of Congress, like those in Kansas, will be watched and reported by an able and fearless corps of Correspondents, while from London, Paris, Constantinople, Havana, San Francis co, Albany and other center of Interest, our special advices will be, a they have been, fresh and reliable. A. member of our Edito rial corps Bayard Taylor i now in North ern Europe, and will spend the Winter in Sweden, Lapland, Russia, thence making his way next season across Siberia and Tartary to the mouth of the Amour, and thence home ward by the Pacific and California, unless some change of route shall promise greater interest and profit to our readers, for whom alone he will write regularly throughout, his adventurous journey, which is likely to re quire two year for its completion. Our re ports of the most interesting Lecture, Public Meetings, &.c, will be full and reliable, and our Foreign and Domestic New made up with a careful regard to the condensation into our ample columns of the greatest amount of in telligence that is consistent with the use of type of genorous size. In short, If we fail to make The Tribune worth its cost, it ahall not be for want of expenditure or effort. If it bo deemed desirable by Republicans that The Tribune should be circulated in their several localities, we urge them to see that Clubs he made up and forwarded in due season. The Postmaster are semi-oflicially admonished not to aid our circulation, but to urge instead that of journal deemed "sound"' and "National" by the compatriots of Atchi son and Stringfellow. We ask live Republi cans overywheie to take care that these ef forts be hut effectual to quench the light of Freedom in the murky mist of Slavery. TERMS.

REDUCTION OF PRICE. The rapid nnd unprecedented increase of the circulation of the Baltimore Weekly Ameri can, not only In Maryland, but in the South ern and Western States, is a most gratifying evidence that our rffoits to furnish a first class family and business newspaper are fully ap preciated by the large number of readers to whose Interests ll is especially devoted, lis completeness In every department or Domes tic nnd Foreign News, and Literary nnd Mis cellaneous Reading, and lis relialillit v as a compendium of Hie Commercial nnd Business Affairs of Baltimore Is so movers illy admit ted, that it has become n necessily with nil persons doing business with our rily, whilst to the general render II is acknowledged to be without a superior a n fireside journal. The present large circulation, with a con tinual ion of the rapid accession to its sub scription lis! since the 1st of January, aver aging NEARLY ONE HUNDRED PER D Y, warrants us in the espectntlon that before the close of the year it will reach an unexampled circulation. In order to render the Weekly Americnu still more acceptable to it numerous readers, we propose during the present year fo add largely to Its attractive qualities, and hi doing so shall spare neither labor nor expense to keep It In advance of all its cotemorni ios, as a FIRST CLASS FAMILY NEWSPAPER, it ize enabling lis to give nenrlv double the amount of reading of anv other Weekly paper published South of Philadelphia, and 'conse quently rendering it the .

THE DOMESTIC NEWS, embracing the affair of the whole country, a well a of our own State nnd the Local Mat ters of the City, is also a feature of the Week ly American that cannot fail to give to its new subscribers, as it has to its old friends, the most universal satisfaction. Tli many hundred copies weekly mailed by our city reader to their friends in the country, ami absent relatives, is an evidence of its great superiority In this respect. THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT will hereafter receive special attention, and a column will nlwaya be found on our fourth page containing n variety of useful nnd valu able information to the Farmer. It will em brace original and selected essay from the most able and experienced writers. THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT ha obtained a character for completeness and accuracy not surpassed by any other pa per in the L'ui " i.
