Gov. Cumming, of Nebraska, located
the Capitol at Omaha City. A hard
fought contest took place over it, between
those on the North and South side of Platte
River. The Legislature by majority OF
one vote confirmed the location made by
the Governor. The Gov. is charged
with corruption in packing the Legislature,
and offering members shares in Omaha
City, to secure their votes for that place.
There seems to have been good deal OF
wire working, and the Gov. and his
friends seem to have beenmost successful.

GREAT SALE OF
TOW III LoTS!.2
- THOUGH LIST NOT LEAST!
THERE will be two sales of town lots in this
l. promising Town, the first Sale on the 1st
day of March, 1855, and the second on the 1st
day Of May, 1855.
TERMs.-One half Cash in hand, and the ball
ance in six months from the time of Sale.
This beautiful Town is situated on the bank
of the Missouri River about 10 miles above
Weston, No., on prominent and very slightly
bluff. 1t shows well to the river having fine
view up and down.
This excellent position is distinguished from
all other towns on the Missouri in K. T., by its
great abundance of fine timber. 1t is covered
with thick growth of all the varieties of the
best timber, among which Is prominent, large
tall Walnut and Burr Oak. 1t is also watered
by a profusion of the most delightful water
with large quantities of
STONE COAL!
There is now Steam Saw and Grist Mill
ust ready to be started, the Town Site, so that
from the quality of good timber will be manu-
factured full supply of the best lumber.
Lots are being sold daily at private sale to
actual settlers, who are proceeding to build
houses, among them preparations for fine Ho-
Tel. lueTe Is nO III ILLS IOWu, ltS posi-
ton, local advantages, and above ali the fact
that it has back of it, and running up to it, al
together the best country any where near. the
Mo. river in K. T., which is now densly settled,
making its success sure and certain beyond all
doubt.
The pfoprietors of this town have not been
forward or anxious to press it into notice, al
though it was one of the first locations, and es-
pecially was it located for town; yet it has
been thought best to let others run their short
race, and let the people have time to see andun-
derstand the true value of each This tow..
fears nothing from any competition near it.
Port William will be town, manifest desti-
ny has settled that, therefore we say come and
see and buy lots at our sales.

We used the word Presbyterianism, not strictly
in its literal meaning, nor yet in the sense in which
Mr' Bradford supposes us to use it. We had no
thought or reference either to any system Of Church
2olity, or Calvinism according to Mr.. Bradford's
use Of the term, We referred only to Presbyteri.
anism as embodied in the Old School Presbyterian
Church, Of which DR.. Lindsey was a member and
q minister. 1t is american Presbytcrianism against
which we made the charge. Mr.. Bradford ack.
nowledges its justice, and illustrates it most graph
ically and forcibly in his grouping of the outrages
which it has been guilty of toleTating and perpe.
trating. 1t was not with the philosophy, meta.
physics or religion of the past, nor with dead men
saints or sinners, with whom we were dealing,
but with the living men Of this age and their mon.
strous irrationality, inhumanity and injustice
And it can profit them nothing in defence, though
it should be proved that they have not ouly Calvin
and Milton and Cromwell ut also the patriarchs,
prophets and apostles of the Bible to their fathers.
We think, by the way, that our friend gives un.
due credit to the Calvinism of New England as
the friend of liberty. However stern and uncom.
promising its votaries were, in asserting and de-.
Tending their oen liberties, they were far from be-
ing equally scrupulous Of those of others. Their
persecution of the Quakers and of their fellow
Calyinists, the Baptists.- Their slave traffic, first
in Indians and afterwards in Africans, shows that
their efforts for liberty were often quite rs much
the result of selfish impulse rs Of true philosophy
or Of pure religion,
Without making any other issue with our cor
respondent in regard to the past beneficial infu-
ence of Calyinism upon freedom, we will only say
that the fact that the slave Of the present is COM
PEELED to look for some other savior, is equal evil
dence against it.
One thing more in this communication We must
allude to, We regret, that a true friend Of liberty
as Mr.. Bradford has proved himself to be, should
be betrayed by his zeal for Calvi nism into an ex-
preston of seeming apology or palliation of the
greatest of crimes-that of burning a man to
death for opinions sake. A crime which cannot
be surpassed in enormity by any offence which
human beings can perpetrate. a deadly olfenoo
against fr edom Of thought, of speech, and Of con-
science. The very same in character as that COM
mitted by Herod, Pontius PLATE and the Chief
Such an offence against liberty can never be palli-
ated by any excellencieg of the philosophy or met
~aphysics, which may a~ppertain to the creed of its
perpetrator, or by his other laborers in behalf OF
education, or freedom, or by these Of his disciples
and admirers.
We should be pleased often to ccmmttn icate to
our readers, Mr.. Bradford's thoughts, not in de-
fence of caiyinism, for Il is not our province tc
deal with that, but in support of freedom.

a day or two, so they can imagine the condition of
this fugitive when the door was unlocked, and he
undertook to step out.

Doubted their thorough knowledge Of tho beings
around them, when required to give a description
of them are sadly att loss, partly because they
have never examined them with the care necessary
TO a perfect acquaintance, and partly that they
have not the habit of conveying the result of their
observations to others. The importance of reli-
ance on our own senses for simple ideas, Is not
appreciated the same is true Of clothing Them in
BETTING language; our words act on othors, and
they react on ourselves, hence the Importance that
they be accurate.
The error Of Tue DAY is that simple as we'll as
complex ideas, are sought in the words Of others,
and an unconscious imitation Of their style is the
consequence. Thus ii is that our learning is parrot
like. The course pursued Is on the presupposi-
ton that to recite systematically what book makers
have written, is to be learned it may be so, but /,
Is not wisdom. The full man is not made by
crowding n ,but by drawing out. For illustration
judirious trainers act ON the exhtusting, no. the
forcing, pump principle.
One word comprises the whole work Of educa
ton. That word is DEVELOPMENT.
Marius, the foregoing has nothing technically anti

readers, they will perceive that whatever enlight-

They may object however, that The science Of ethics
is not especially treated of us being paramount.
1t would have been, were it not that its indispen-
siIlencss is SO obvious, To the writer Of this, i
seems like one Of the SELF erilent truths which are
rather weakened than strengthened by an attempt
at demonstration. perceiving the relation in
which man stands to his fellow man, the duties
growing out Of that relation are known by intui.

The wholt matter may be condensed lnto d nut

We are Physical, Intellectual and Moral beings.
A wise course Of training keeps this ever in view,

aim at the simultaneous, harmonious cultivation
Of the three sorts Of faculties.
