NEBRAsKA.-The territory of Nebraska
will soon become point ofinterest to the en-
igrant.-The construction of the Pacific Rail-
road west from st. Louis will turn the tide in
the direction of the territory. One terminus
of the road will be on the borders of Nebras-
ka, and when the road is built, as it will be,
the St Louis News says Nebraska will FIJI up
with people more rapidly than has any preyi-
Gus State in the confederacy, save California.
The first steps to a settlement have been Ia
ken and there will be no pause henceforth.
Many thousands who would otherwise have
gone to the western slope of the Rocky Noun
tatns, will now choose rather to identify them
selves with the new territory and State oi
Nebraska The soil and climate of the terri
tory are good, and already the removal of the
Indians is agitated.

Gen. Scett,s OuarreIs.

The Argus seems anxious to have the
world know with when Gen. Scott has ''quar-
relied" While its hand was in, it should
have told its readers whose quarre's Gen.
Scott has settled There was a ''quarrel'
once, between England and the United
States. No man was more efficient than Gen
Scott in settling that quarrel" There was
subsequently quarrel" threatened between
our Government and the Cherokees. He
settled that quarrel promptly, wisely and hu-
namely. There was a quarrel" also with
Black Hawk. That, also, was settled. The
Argus may also have heard of the nquaTrel"
with South Carolina. Gen, Scott amicably ad-
justed that quarrel as he also did the "quar-
rel' on our North Eastern and Canada bor-
ders; and last, though not leas,, by his skill
and courage, he settled our recent quarrel
with Mexico.
Fer every personal Quarrel The Argus
can prove Gen. Scott to have instigated, we
will agree TO prove a national quarrel
that be has settled.
The only important 'quarrels' in which we
remember Gen. Pierce to have been engaged
were his ''quarrels" with American Industry,
River and Harbor Improvements, the Wild
ows of the Soldiers of the war Of 1912. and
the Widow of the lamented Gen. Harrison.

The Land Question.

Resolred, That we are opposd to any law
for the distribution of the proceeds of the
Public Lands, as inexpedient in policy and re-
pugnant to the Constitution.
This is the Platform of the National Demo
cratic Convention in 1852. It is only
one among many evidences of their hostility to
anything like liberal policy in regard to the
Public Domain. 1t is a platform upon which
their candidates will willingly stand, if any
thing may be judged from their votes. In
1889, bill came before the Senate Of the u
States providing that, when any of the public
lands of the United States have remained un-
sold for the space of fifteen years, they may
be entered and purchased to the number Of
so acres. by actual settlers, at fifty cents an
acre. The vote was taken, and stood Yeas
%, Nays "a. There were just two majority
against it These tWo Were FRANKLIN PIERCE
aud WILLIAM R. KING.
There is seldom a greater perversion O
words than that by which this party is styled
"Demecratic." On each of the leading ques
tions of the day. they take the side of Aristoc
racy. They have no encouragement fol
American Labor, either by Internal Improve
ments, or Protection or access to the Public
Lands, or their proceeds. They build mp ar
Aristocracy of Wealth in England an Aristoc
racy Of Religion in New Hampshire, and ar
Aristocracy of land on the Public Domain
But Laborers who earn their bread by daily
exertion, need look to them for neither EN-
ployment nor votes, nor homes.

For the Freeman.
Eclecticism.
Continued from lust Week.

There is likewise the same diversity of
opinion among the profession in regard to the
nature Of specific diseases-some con:ending
for one thing, and some for another directly
the opposite. Now, since this is the case, is
it any wonder that there is so much diversity
of treatment in the same diseases by differ
ent branches of the Profession, and by differ
ent practitioners in the same branch fire.
quently taxing directly opposite courses to
treat the same disease And further is it to
be wondered at, that there is so much un-
successful and positively Injurious practice,
destroying health and life instead of promo
ting them? The greatest wonder is that ma
ture, sever tenacious of life,'' could bear up
under such an immence burthen of Malprac-
tice. 1t is true, and can't be denied, that err
roneous theory and practice of medicine has
destroyed more health and lives than ever
Judicious treatment has promoted; until it has
become standing proverb that we are safer
as regards health and life without physician
than we are with one. We do not wish to
harrow up your better feelings By calling your
attention TO yourselves and friends to verify
these statements. The white marble slabs of
our friends NAV tell the story and draw the
dark mantle of forgetfulness over the scene
at the same time
Now it was in the midst of this sublime
confusion of theory and practice, that the star
of Eclecticism were to guide the few devoted
lovers oftruth and humanity to a more hu-
name and rational mode of Practice. Scarce
quarter of century ago, Eclecticism was
one of the smallest of seeds; but it had vitali-
ty, and that vitality was truth. and the love
of truth and bv its own inherent mower de-
rived from the same source all truth is deri
ved it has germinated and grown, until it has
become tree with firm root; the branches
of which are extending into families and So
ciety, there humbly and quietly exerting its
healing and happy influence in the restora-
ton of the diseased to health
