For the Grant Countg Herald.

Mr.. EDIToa;
], In your last,yeu seem to recommend an An
III Nebraska Organization. and to this end suS-
ges: that a County Mass Convention be held
This is what the people hive been expecting,
because nearly all, go far as / can find out, are
in favor of il; whatever people want wa, they
naturally expect, and will have. They have
determined 10 act for themselves, for the work
of regenerating the country is matter
of self defense,--they are determined 10 be
iof. their own elements of well being, instead OF
lintrusting their interests any furthersto ma
ineuvreing set of politicians. They are COM
PEELED to it, else suffer the whole rising gener-
alton to blush for a stupid ancestry.
/ You say the opposition will doubtless make
"a profession of the same principles, and thus
lattempt to deceive the masses, as usual. They
|cannot succeed if they do attempt it; the
Monks Hall faction of this states democracy,
which is now in power, is as surely identified
with Douglas Slaveocracy, as wool is with
"nigger's pates! There is too much hUing as
well as recorded testimony Of this, for them to
attempt to crawfsh. Look at the vote upon
BartIstt's Resolutions in the assembly last Win
ter, and who were the men that tabled those
RESOLUTIONS in the Senate? Bah! They might
as well disown the Coming exhorbitant taxa
\ ton or School Land swindle, or ignore even
Billy Bars tow himself
/ Yours, Y.
AspinvSald, Aug. l8th
! RRMARKs.-We presume our correspon-
dent speaks truly the sentiments Of his
neighborhood in reference to a County
Mass Convention. We are not so sure
however that the opposition will not agree
to adopt Anti-N ebraska resolutions at theil
lConventions. Their leaders, whom our
correspondent designates as a "manever-
ing set Of politicians" will not Of course a.
gree to it; but, wouldn't it be strange if
the voting masses of the opposition would
manage their own household once in about
a quarter Of q century-by taking the mat
ter into their own hands and adopting such
regulations as they have mind to! Have
you never known organizations, armies,
ships crews and parties to desert their old
masters and leaders, and choose new ones
There is nothing moro common, sir,
ever since Douglas proclaimed his celebra-
ted Young America and other incendiary
Ifllibusterisna. People have become so
free, thank God, as to assert their rights
and desert a doughfaced, negro-extension
party, as rats are said to desert sinking
ship. Popular sovereignty" as General
Cass says, has got to be the watchwofd. t
We wouldn't give cent for the chance of
any party combined to usurp the rights Of
white laboring men, and set up govern
ment for the exclusive benefit of slave and
wool growers who labor not. All men be-
gin to see Of late, that every act brought
before Congress must have '.nigger" in
it, or something woolly, to secure the least
attention Or chance for success under the
present administration. The Government
has got to be worse than the Abolitionists
ever We're; Giddings sometimes condescends
to look upon white laboring men as being
equal to miggers, but the administration
never, if it can be helped. The Home
stead Bill, River and Harbor Bill, Poetic
Railroad Bill all were for the special ben
eft of white laboring men, and consequent
ly failed. Such Bills as those repeating
the Missouri Compromise and for the re-
covery Of fugitive slaves, were full Of mig
gers, and they went through like Croton
oil,-while Oregon came through dwarf,
because it had no Niger in it
These and the like stubborn facts are be-
fore the people, and are raising thunder
ing rumpus in the root house! The oppo-
sition party-leades are sworn, money and
ohice-bound band at the head of it ALL
The masses heretofore standing by them,
through pride of party rather than love,
have had their pride and honor-wounded
CALLED to bitterness. Napoleon could
march his invincibles into slavery,--but
could never get them to take up the yoke
The Democracy offer the yoke, but the
people won't pick it up and put it on.--
They will desert their generals fifst,-hee
the ranks, and make war upon their be-
trayers. See if they don't
