JuDGE FERousoN is a man, who, in
every position in which he has been plac-
ed, has so conducted himself as TO gain
the esteem of all those with whom he
came in contact amiable and moderate
he has sufficient irmness and high sense
OF honor to spurn with contempt any offer,
the acceptance of which would taInt his
character as a high minded and honorable
man. OF all the men in the Territory,
not one could have been selected, against
whose character, presidents and ability
less could be said ingenious m~allgnants
will no doubt bring forward his very vir-
tues, his forbearance and his justice, as
arguments against him, with the corrupt
and sectional, all who are not also corrupt
and sectional, are enigmas, and become
the objects Of vituperation and hates, on
account of their honesty and moderation
1t is difficult, we might almost say impos-
sible, for the base to appreciate the truly
noble; it is impossible for the ultra radi-
cal to support the moderate man. In this
Territory we don't want a radical man to
represent us, but a moderate, Just man,
one who has sufficient character, firmness,
integrity, and appreciation of his duty
towards all his fellow citizens. to prevent
his becoming either the dupe or accessory
of designing and depraved men. We all
know what the Halls of Congress have
become with the intriguing, venality,
rowdyism and rascality so prevalent
among those sent to represent the peo-
pie, and we should all deprecate such a
state of affairs, and perform a duty, we
owe to ourselves, to our Territory and our
country, in sending one to represent us,
on whose pure, exalted character, there
is not one blemish or stain, and against
whom those revilers and slanderers, who
instinctively hate the pure and noble, can
not adduce one single act of injustice, dis
honor, or lack of ability.
The people have now before them a
candidate who is pledged to the best in
terests of the whole Territory, and one
on whose pledge we know we can safely
rely. He will not represent n city,
one county or a faction, but labor zeal.

On last Saturday morning, large posters
were stuck up through Nebraska City, an

speaks Of the result
The people met in the evening in the
Hall over the Platte Valley Bank, and
the vast number which on so short a
notice were co%ngregated together, plainly
showed the unusual interes, mantle sted in
the Peoples candidate for Delegate.
The Hon. A. A. Bradford, was called
to the chair, and R. r. Newcomb, chosen
Secretary. Judge FERGusoN was intro
duced by the Chairman, and spoke about
three quarters of an hour I'M calm, clear,
plain, forcible and impressive manner
The remarks of the Judge were well re-
ceived, and the resolution appended at the
close of this article shows that il had its
effect,
Gen, Thayer, also a candidate for Del
4 egate, was present at the meeting, and
was called upon. He made a good speech,

cry was raised for Judge Bennet-ant

drowned by the still louder cries for Strick'

The Dakota City Herald, publishes a
very lengthy and fulsome article, upon the
qualif cations of Bird B. Chapman, as del
egate to Congress from Nebraska, from
the Sioux City Eagle, printed and pub
lished in the State of Iowa. Would 1t not
be well for the Eagle man, to attend to his
own business-attend to the interests of
his own State and his own City? If the
political lines were drawn in this territory,
and the different parties were engaged
in a strife for supremacy; the interference
of the Eagle man, would be excusable-
but here in Nebraska, the actual settlers
know their own interests, and wish no in
reference from any of the States. We
love the name of the Eagle, but as strong
as his pinions are, he cannot carry b. b.
Chapman to the Congressional Halls

A MEETlN G
AT OMAHA!
AND
FIZZLEII

We were present on last Saturday
evening at a meeting Of the citizens of
Omaha, where the friends of Gen. Esta-
brook, Rankin, Chapman and Thayer de-
fined their different positions, and we
have only room to give a meager sketch
Of the proceedings.
1t appeared that this affair was gotten
up by the friends Of Gen. Estabrook, in
consequence Of a report in circulation
that he had declined in favor of Rankin,
and tina, Rankin had gone north with
various papers as usual, TO show The good
people how ne was gaining strength in
Omaha and south Of the Platte.
After quite a number had convened in
front of Pioneer Block, Gen. Chapman,
formerly of Michigan, assembled a box
and made a speech in favor of Gen. Esta-
brook-asking, in conclusion, that the
people should concentrate upon one man,
and if they could NO, effect it on Esta-
brook hat he would go for Chapman, but
he beseeched them not to unite on RAN
kin. The General is Il good speaker
and was listened 10 with respect. Mr..
Macon was now called upon and occupied
the same position as Gen. Chapman
stating that Rankin had gone north, but
that he would follow him in the morning
and smoke him out.
When he sat down, bully Hanscom was
called for. He pitched into Gen. Chip
man, stating that he was an old broker
down politician who had lately come there
for the purpose of teaching old settler.
how to vote, and finally wound up his dis
course by declaring himself a Rankin man

now loudly called for, when he mounte'
