sTis ali Over,

Well, neig.bors, 'tis all over. Election
day. with its litter, hurry, furry of excite
ment its pulling, hauling and ~hulnbugging;
its ISLANDERS and w~ire-working is done and
over. The doubt and uncertainty of the sew
eral candidates has cleared away and each
one sees how they stand. Air. Joseph Hall,
the regular Democratic candidate, was cleo
ted by % majority. lie was generally sup
ported by the party, and also by quite a num-
Der Ut wings, who could not travel the IN
foreground Railroad. Too honest for the
companionship of those they knew too we'll,
hey braved their ansthsnias and faced the
music like true msn.
The Treasurer and Recorder, Air. Turner,
was electe BY = 1sttering majority. Though
= whig, Mr.. T. has gained the esteem OF all
our citizens, thrO' the term proceeding, in his
official capacity. The election in his re-
spect was a personal contest. No man could
have been got out that would have beaten
him. Mr.. Fargo, (whig) elected Sheriff by
a small majority. Mr.. Starring, (dem.) his
opponent, being a comparative stranger in the
county, was the reason of his defeat. For
Surveyor, tho Democracy had no candidate
and Tostevan received almost an unanimous
vote. For Coroner, d. B. CLARK, a staunch
Democrat, was elected. Thus we have gain
ed Judge and Coroner. whilst the Wings have
Treasurer and Recorder and Sheriff. We
are of course content, and hope all parties are
satisfied. We will promise to do better next
time-see If we don't.

NebTaska Emigration.

We yesterday had tue pleasure OF a visit
from william CLANCY, Esq, agent for mi
grafton TO Nebraska. He visits the eastern
cities to carry out the object of his agency
We copied, q few days since, from a Nebras-
ka paper, ! statement that Mr.. Clancy had
left the territory with a number of elks. lie
arrived here a day or two since with his slks,
coming by the way of the Rock Island Rail-
road, and has sent them on by the Michigan
Southern and Cleveland and Pittsburgh, and
Pennsylvania Central Roads to philadelphia.
He started from Council Bluffs with thirteen
eiks, three OF whom died from injuries re-
ceived on the road. They will not only be
rare animals in Philadelphia, but will be
much sought after. Mr. CLANCY also brought
with him two ponies, perfectly white, and =
breed wholly unknownaeast Of Nebraska
They are moat remarkable animals. $40
We commend Mr.. Cancy's mission to GU,
bretheren in the the east. His object is to
induce persons to emigrste to Nebraska, and
settle upon the most beautiful lands in the
Union. He is not the agent Of any political
society, and seeks no political end; if be
were, we would be sorry to say : word in hi.

With al the rest OF the sxARr things he saws

the foul SANDER the lie in the bro ad est sense

TO nothing less than a low, %envious meanness

of manhood, he woull as a neighbor, come
to US FOR information in regard to the subject

Last week, suit was commenced before a
Justice of the Peace, against a person en-
gagged IN the liquor traffic. After q number
OF days spent in anxiety and suspense, hand
ling the matter over. on both sides, tho Jury
acquitted the defendant. We learn thai tho
prosecuting parties intend to pursue the mat
ter, now that the ice is broken, aud arrest
the liquor traffic altogether. There are those
who are WICKED enough to say that . prose-
cution so soon after election, proceeds from
a spiteful vlndictiysness, on account of he
disappointment by the result of said election.
and in fact the matter looks rather suspicious
anyhow. Three long months elapsed, from
the time The Judge was required to appoint
an agent to sell liquor, before the least no.
tice was taken Of the matter, and then no
agent was known to be appointed until after
his defeat, at the election, and no prosecu-
ton was made until more than . month after
the law was to take effect, proving most con-
clusively that it is neither the love nor the
observance Of law that instigatcd these par
ties TO action.
We speak not thus, because we arc oppos-
ed to Law, order and q fair trial of the liquor
law as 1T passed the Legislature, but we ARE
opposed to malicious and ~reyengeful suits in
any shape. 1t is q matter of much doubt
whether the Judge had a legal right to ap-
point an agent after omiting to do 80 at the
time THE LAW DECLARES 1T SHALL BIZ DONE.
We want to see these matters commenced
legally, that the liquor Law may have . fair
and impartial trial. and not be beaten and
