Whether "Know Nothingism," so called
is to rule as a National party or not, one
thing may be counted upon with absolute
certainty, and that is this: The movement
has evoked elements, which will control and
mould all party combinations in the future.
This is inevitable. The dogged pertinacity
of the Era, the partisan furor of the Tri-
bune, the corrupt appliances of the Admin
istration, can neither of them avail to save
their respective party organizations intact.
THE FREE SOIL PARTY HAS FULFILLED ITS
MISSION, the Wing party the same, and the
old Line Democratic oarty is, at last, over
whelmed and prostrated, by its utter and en-
tire abandonment OF the true principles ot
genuine Democracy Democrat.
The above extract is from lengthy edito-
rial in the Democra: of Dec. Goth, and We
quote it, that our readers may have an op'
portunity to judge of the position of that pa
per, in reference to the Free Soil party. l;
it not little strange that the warm advo'
cate and champion of Free Soihsm in Port
age County, should so soon abandon his par
ty, and seek to form coalition with pro
slavery organization Will the Free Soil
ers of this county allow themselves to b.
bought and sold like chattels in the market

MORE ANON

We understand that the President has
nominated to the Senate Brevet Lieutenant
Colonel Edward J. Steptoe, of the u. s.
Army, to be Governor of Utah, in the place
of Governor Young, who was appointed by
President Fillmore. Col. Steptoe, who is
in lineal rank captain of artillery, and
who has been twice breveted for gallant and
meritorious conduct in the battles of Ger.
ro Gordo and Chapultepec, is, Of course,
well known to the whole country in that
relation. In addition to this, all who are
acquainted with him, either personally or
in his official capacity, bear testimony TO
the dignity and manInesS of his character,
his intelligence, his extensive information
upon subjects not connected with his pro-
fession, his eminent discretion, and to the
conscientious and religious temper of his
mind. All these are qualities which signal
ly fit him for the delicate and important du.
ty of Governor Of Territory SO peculiar in
its condition and population as Utah.
Wc do not apprehend that the substitu.
ton of Col. Steptoe for Gov. Young will be
attended with any inconvenience. We con
fide much in the practical good sense Of the
inhabitants of Utah, Notwithstanding theil
peculiar institutions, and not less in the
combined moderation, frmness, and sagaci
ty of Colonel Steptoe, who has been fol
some time encamped with his command nea

WHAT WE Owe TO OTHER COUNTRIES
The following is an extract from the ora.
ton recently delivered before the New York
Historical Society by Hon. GEORGE BAN
CROFT:
sour land is not more the recipient oil
men Of all countries, than Of their IDEAS
Annihilate the past of any one leading ma.
ton Of the world, and our destiny would
have been changed. Italy and Spain, in the
persons of Columbus and Isabella, joined
together for the great discovery that open
ed America to emigration and commerce;
France contributed to its independence; the
search for the origin of the language we
speak carries us to India; our religion is
from Palestine; of the hymns sung in our
churches, some were first heard in Italy
some in the desert of Arabia, some on the
banks Of the Euphrates; our arts come from
Greece, our jurisprudence from Rome, our
maritime code from Russia; England taught
us the system of representative government;
the noble republic Of the United Provinces,
bequeathed to us, in the world of thought
the great idea of the federation of all opin-
ions-in the world of action, THE prolific prin-
ciple of federal union. Our country stands
therefore, more than any other, as the real.
ization of the unity of the race" r. ".@'.1

Did you ever think that banks were a
great public necessity-that without them
the whole business Of the country would be
thrown into inextricable confusion--that la
Dor would toll unpaid, and grain, meat, wool,
and all the many essentials to the support OF
life would rot, or perish in some other way
on the producers hands. if it were not for
the great modern discovery that a a" promise
to pay' is quite as good as the pay-no mat
ter if there is no prospect of the "promise"
ever being performed.
Banking is n science, the real basis of
which, is an accurate knowledge of the pro-
pertes of fgures-and the gullibility of the
people. With the bankers rests the power
to say what the value Of any commodity is
for the time being, that is, by making his
Accommodations "short" or "long;" he
has the power to fix the value for the day on
wheat, or corn, or pork or fence-rails, or any
or every thing you make that can be valued
by any money value. The banker can do
another thing, he can keep your credit good
or he can destroy it; he can give you loan
at 80 days that will enable you to commence,
it may be, a very useful, necessary and pro.
ftable business, and just at the end of the
80 days, just as you are fairly under way, and
before you can get returns from your busi-
ness, can find himself "short," and by so do
ing bring you mp "shorter" and wind you up
quicker than lightning ever scathed tree.

Congress-.

This body will probably not accomplish
much until after the holy-days. One of the
principal topics of discussion for severa
days past, has been bill to establish BoarC
of Commissioners or Court Of Claims, pos.
sessing the powers and privileges of Court
of Record, whose duty will be to adjudic ate
and settle all claims for services, damages,
or otherwise, accruing to citizens Of the Uni
ted States against the General Government.
This is a measure OF considerable import
ance. At present, nearly all questions ol
this kind are passed upon solely BY Congress
or some of the departments of State, and the
result oftentimes is, that unjust claims are
allowed, while just ones are rejected. Were
a Court of competent jurisdiction established
where a fair and impartial trial could be had
by the parties interested, it would contribute
much to the right establishment of justice
and equity in this department of our govern
mental affairs.
The patent laws are now under the consi-
deration of the Committee on Patents, and
some modification of these will probably be
made.

Mr.. EDITOR THE above heads n LONG
editorial in the Ohio Star, Portage County
Wing, Home Companion, and Uhiq, Portage
County Democrat; and it reminds me of the
boy who when enqured Of, where he lived,
replied, that "he did not live anywhere now,
but staid with his uncle;" such appears to
be the condition of that editor, he does not
live with any political party, but is boarding
out with the Wings, and lodges with the
Know Nothings. ....
Now this liberty loving editor perfectly
abbors the idea of selling human beings Chat
s) as the southern planter sells, two or three
at time, but he is in favor of doing whole
sale business, and of selling whole party al
one bid. He adopts the motto small profits and
quick sales, and sets an example worthy to
be initiated by South Carolina Nulifers and
Virginia slave breeders. There seems how
ever to be some difficulty in making the sale
general as he is unable to give good title
on some contracts. The Know Nothings
however, have just made an assessment Of
fifty cents per share on their capital stock,
and he will no doubt receive a fair per cent
um OF this, to make up for his loss. In as
much as ''the Freesoil party has fulfilled its
mission," he had better adopt the song of
Uncle Ned:
Then lay down the shovel and the hoe,
Hang up the fiddle and the bow,
For there's 20 work for poor old Ned,
For he has gone where the Know Nothings 60,

Ancient EnIla abitants OF Nebraska.


On the Upper Missouri there exists tract
of country known by the name of Mauvais-
es Terriers, or, bad lands, at one time, prob
ably, the bottom of an immense lake, in
which perished thousands Of animals having
now no representatives on earth. 1t appears
that the waters of this immense pond were
removed by some convulsion of nature or
other and the sediment at the bottom became
undurated.
The portion of the valley thus excavatcd
forms a surface of ninety miles in length
and thirty in breadth. The remains of AMI
mails which have lived and breathed long
before the advent of man on earth, are here
found in such abundance as to form of this
tract an immense cemetery of verteb rata.
Thebones are said to be completely petrifed,
and their cavities filled with silicious mat
ter. They are preserved in various de-
grees of integrity, some most beautifully
perfect, and others broken.
Two remarkable species of rhnoceros-
the first ever found in America-were dis
covered here, and also a sort OF panther,
smaller than the present variety, and like
wise number of strange animals with long
names, unlike any thing which man ever
saw alive. We know, then, that there
were once individuals in Nebraska, as Curl
Gus, and as strangely shaped and as pugna-
cious as any squatter whom the present great
rush of immigration will carry thther.
