The Republican Movement

The secresy which attended the early
origin and growth of the American par.
ty has prevented an important fact from
being SO universally understood as it 9th

changes in the form and spirit of the order
have brought this fact more prominently
to light and especially has this been
result Of tho recent action at the Phila-
delphia Convention. 1t is now perfect.
ly allowable for us to point out more
clearly the fact to which VIC refer, and
to urge it upon the notice of the people
What is called the Republican move.

was everywhere backed up and sustain

Of preof, and as a fact of the utmost i'm.
portance TO be considered by al those
who, approving of the Republican move

and uncertainty, if not Of positive cold
ness, towards the American party.

Out of darkness cometb marvellous
light !" and in the luminous columns of
the Bank organ como to US editorial mr..
ticles-but evidently not written BIZ its
Editor" letting in light"
The author of these articles, pcrhans
himself a sometime member of tue A.
mcrican party who would now betray
and forsake it, asserts that the 9th Of
June Convention (t avowed no name or
princi pies and therefore can be known
only as sucb) was 10 be regarded as final
in its action by the members of tito A..
merican party that tho order under.
stood that the decisions of its own con.
vention were to be overruled by the ac.
ton Of the subsequent Convention.
The author of that assertion, We have
no doubt, knew it to be untrue. The
American Convention made up ticket,
fair portion Of which was taken from
the ranks Of their own party while an
other portion was takeE from outside of
the order. In so constituting ticket
they designed to make it fair aud hon.
orable basis of union for all the Anti.
Nebraska voters of the county.
Had the 9th of June convention
changed any of the candidates who were
not members of the American party tho
orGer would cheerfully have complied
'hcrewlth. 1t was the right OF that por.
ton of the Anti.Slavcry strength of the
county who are not members of the a..
merlcan party.to select their own repre-.
sentatlves upon such ticket of union ::
and that the convention in june ratified
the previous selection made as the choice
of the American convention the order ;
docs not. of course, complain
But the order does claim the right
to select its own representatives upon
tho ticket. 1t understood fully that the
action of the American conventions far
as related 10 the claims ofts arm mem.
OeTs rho arhcrc candidatcs, vas to be
final and conclusive. That it should
have men as its representatives upon the
ticket who have wilfully betrayed the
party at whose hands they first asked sup.
port, the order does NOT understand
nor will it Willingly acquiescc in such a
state Of things. No reasonable man
outside of the order will say that it is
fair or just that it should.
If Mr. Warmers friends did not OK.
pcct that its decision was to be consider.
ed final SO far as related to his prcten.
sions, why did they appear to urge bis
claims in the American convention d?
But Mr.. Warner himself and hi,
friends distinctly knew tina. the order
expected that his claims, and those Of
Mr.. Barrett, were to be decided upon,
.F"aIy. in the May convention. ANY
other pretcnco is an afterthoueht.a mere
hypocrisy Jry,us

llIGHwAYs.-C Complaints are ncfcas.
lug as to our present system Of repairing
highways. In spite Of the annual taxes
expended on them. the roads in many
parts Of the county are said to be in bad
condition. The amount Of labor laid
out on them is inadequate; and much of
the difficulty is attributed. by soma, to
the law allowing IS cts. in cash to pay
one dollar of tax, as assessed payable in
work 1t is difficult to hire a good hand
bonding hinself-for one dollar even.
1t is said that, in some districts the a.
mount of work done is very small, and
it has been suggested that surveyors
should be required to return strict ac.
coun. annually, to their respective towns,
Of the manner in which their taxes have
been disposed Of. AS far as this is
practicable, such an arrangement is GER
tainly desirable; though VIC believe our
surveyors will not very often, if ever, be
found wanting
We cannot undertake to solve this diff
fculty. 1t has caused much discussion,
for years past, showing an uDeasincss OIL
the subject, all over the State. In Can.
ada, we believe, each landed proprietor
is required to keep in order given see.
ton of the highway every year In
many towns Of this State commissioners
have been appointed lin accordance with
our present law) to take charge of the
business in the whole town. How far
either of these methods villimprove our
present system, we have no exact means
ofjndging. We give these hints, that
others, who have opportunity, may be in
duced to follow out the subject more
fully
