] duC9l 20 them ls Nebraska visitors FRO m
] Cedar Rgriis, lows, we lost no time in max
ing enquiries into the object Of their visit
aud the extent of their travels and obscrva-
tons thus far. It appears from their story
that they enlgs their frst Stepping place at
BIuTCity. They were somewhat disappointed
in that 2lace-hayiug previous TO their visit
entertained higher conceptions Of its magui-
tude and advantages than they now had.
From this place they were directed to Oma-
ha City, aud were told By the good people Of
that place that Il was the pRtycrrAL AND MOST
nEAurir-L Town s,rE IS NEBRASKA. They
according TO directions, crossed over tie Great
Missouri river, and made a visit to Omaha
CITY, and satisfied themselves in regard TO is
claims as o town site. They were unable 90
find so much beauty, and so many natural adj
vantagcs for "a town site as had been represent
ell lythc friends IT, that place; they left Oma-
De and proceeded up the river about a. miles,
passing -Wiuter Quarters" and Fort Cal
houu,' they saw some fac country, but spoke
mo,e highly Of Winter Quarters than amy other
place that came under their observation; thor
thought it had natural advantages, and fair pros
poets for making a "~place." Having. spent
several days travelling in different ~ Cons
over the country they reached B%eliview, and
stopped 90 examine the place; their disap-
poiutncnt in this place exceeded that at Omaha
City, but in favor Of The place, instead Of
against il.
Ia the estimation OF our visitors, Dcllcyicw
needed no other recommendation than BEING
SEES; her commanding position, her extensive,
varied, and beautiful pr1spect-her excellent
steamboat landing aud harbor-the safety Of
her position, and the abundance q her building
material, rock, clay and timber.
Having made a pretty thorough examination
Of this place, they crossed over The river in the
ferry TO ST. Mary, and, aftcI making a short
call, they started FOR the ferry opposite Oid
Fort Kearney, where they crossedt the Missouri
river, for the purpose Of visiting that place
and other settlements in that region. Cur
friends spoke highly o; the Fort, and consider
ed il an advantageous town site, and destined
10 be one. Having taken a survey Of this place
they went down the river as far az the Ncmaha,
which intercepted their further progress
From this place they returned TO Fort Kearuey,
crossed the river and proceeded up to St. Mary,
where they stopped for the night. We under
stand they intend TO continue their course up
the Missouri river, into the north west part Of
Iowa, where they intend to spend some weeks
in hunting elk, deer, Antelope, and other wild
game, which is abundant 10 the wilds Of that
regleH. Our friend from Cedar Rapids told
US unhestatingly, that after an impartial ex-
al2lnation of all the town sites 40 miles above,
and below Bellyiew and St. Mary, that BELLE
VIEW was the best town site they had found
in Nebraska, aud ST. MARY the best they had
found on the Iowa side Of the majestic Missouri.
PRESIDENT PIERI AND NEBRASKA.
One Of the best evidences that could be
brought forward to substantiate the claim OF
, President Pierce to the honor Of having dis
! CHARGED his duty invariably. in rela .op 10
Nebraska and Kansas, ls found 10 the feet
that those parties Immediately interested 3D. tie
great question involved in the Nebraska bin
are both accusing the President of unfaithful-
hess 10 their own particular interests. On the
one hand, a numerous and respectable elias, Of
our fellow-citizens Of the North accuse the
President Of PARTIALITY to he SoUrH. On
the other hand, southern partizans, are equal
~ vehement in accusing the President Of
~PARTALIry TO II NORTH. The right
course, aud the olly oue that coull have
been p4rsIsl By the President was mid
way between the opposing forces brought TO
bear against him.
TIE Macon Republic, published at Tuskeegs
Alabama, speaking IN behalf Of he Prcsident's
southern opponents, says:
80 course, If there was any chance in the
world 10 make Kansas a slave State, P.1y;Ient
Pierce would DO all hecould 10 prevent II. His
organ grinder unblushingly ayows that such IS
his purpose, and his southern ,0ade3 stll
Continue 10 sing praise 70 his name. Now. the
very least that President Pierce could have
done Tor the South, would have been 10 lei the
free-sOilers Of the North have one State. and
the South the other. But he had determined
that the South should have neither. he there
fore appoints a Southern Governor 10 Nebraska
where be can do no good; and a freesOil Governor
to kausas-the only chance where the south
stood any chanco-to illustrate with all ms Of
hclal power aud influence, all the effort, made
by the South 70 introduce slavery. He is de-
tefm!ned, as he remarked 10 Senator Clemens.
that as far g = - him lies, not aIotAsr llaye
State shall ever be added 10 the CDi5-. He
IS helping 10 make good his remark In, the
freedom"
Such are the feelings Of the sogh. Those
Of the North are Numerically opposite, bat
equally explicit. We might quote enough re-
speeding the North to make a volume, but
our readers are already familiar with north
err sentiments upon this subject, and we for
bear Tor the present.
Arrival Of the Genoa--R5Iarne Mai.
Hepnsr, Indian Agent, fun St.
Leuls.
The Genoa reached Belleyiew with a heavy
cargo Of provisions and goods, fOs tie Otoe,
Omaha, and Pawuee Indians, on Sunday the
9th inst. Major Hepnef arrived IN goodhealih
and fine spirits, and with the determination 20
effect the removal Of the Indians as soon as it
lay in bis power to do it. The goods received
are to be given in f~ulEIlmeut Of form4t treaty
stipuiations, aud have nothing 10 do with carry
ing the late treaties into effect. The goods now
received are the same, the Indians haddne them,
