Special correspondence from Washing
ton states that Governor Walkers resig-
nation is on file in the State Department.
1t is an eborately written document of
twenty-five pages, and was read before a
special meeting of the Cabinet last eve
ming.
The Herald's correspondence says that
the President will direct the Secretary
of State to receive it. No reply will be
made that will be generally circulated to-
day.
An immense Democratic meeting was
held in the Park tonight to respond to
the Presidents message. Richard Schel
presided, and speeches were made by
various distinguished men. While Mr..
Schell was speaking at one of the stands,
the platform gave way, causing great
excitement, but fortunately no one was
seriously injured. The assemblage at the
stand proceeded to the City Hall steps,
and the speeches continued.

cording to law, to prevent the departure
of any hostile expedition against Central
America. Instructions have also been
given to prosecute the steamer Fashion
as soon as she returns to the United
States.
The frigate jamestown will immedia-
tely leave for San Juan, and Captain Cha

The course is slow but nevertheless sure,
and under such well-directed efforts, it is
impossible that we can long survive. Ii

find at home such a large supply of moth

The Administration having been advis-

The Administration having been advis-
ed, by telegraph, that Acting Governor
Stanton had called a special meeting of
the Territorial Legislature of Kansas,
the President forthwith removed him and
nominated to the Senate as his successor.
General Denver, now Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, who left Washington for
the West last week. The reason for the
removal is, that Mr.. Stanton has violated
the instructions heretofore given to both
Governor Walker and himself to do no act
which could possibly disturb the peace of
that Territory, but exert all the means in
ihelr power to preserve it. The sole OBJ
lect and purpose of converting the Legis-
%lature, it is considered, can only be to
.engender s%trifes, and embarrass the peo-
pie In voting on the slavery question in
the form proposed by the Constitutional
Convention.

DemOCratiGP PARTY, Its Organization.
BrownUiUe, Dec. 26, 1857.

Mr.. EDITOR =
We rejoice in anticipation of the early
concentration and consolidation of the
Democratic Party in Nebraska. 1t should
be the individual duty of each member of
the party to aid, assist and encourage the
full consumation of so desirable an OBJ
ject. This is a subject in which Demo-
Gratis should feel a deep interest in every
"nook and corner of Nebraska.
We think the interests of our Territory
would be more faithfully guarded in the
event Of party lines being drawn. AS it
now is our officers are not responsible for
their acJs to any party organization, and
in many instances the people are made the
sufferers when it should fall upon the
shoulders of some particular party.
We do not know, however, of but one
political party at this time in our Terri
tory, and that, or rather its members,
purport to be democratic-true and gen.
uine followers of the immortal originators
and leaders of said party. We hear many
persons express themselves to be demo
cratic, but when a suitable opportunity

have no confidence in the fidelity of such
men, and think they had as well come out

The Past, Present, and Future of
BrOWnVille.

Ii only seems as if it were yesterday
that we first made our appearance in the
little town of Brownville, and we must
confess our incipient impressions were
anything but favorable. Here and there
was only to be seen pioneers cabin, en-
vironed on almost every side with hazel
brush, weeds, and n%ettles; scarcely a sign
of an alley or street could be seen any,
where. The prospects for making a town
were gloomy enough. This was but some
eighteen or twenty months ago.
But what of US now? Are we not
keeping pace with this age of unprece-
denied progress? The weeds, brushes,
and nettles, are fast disappearing before
the hand of civilization, and in their stead
the eye beholds the stately mansion .
and the smiling cottage" From a. po-
pulation of a mere handful we have in
creased to sevenor eight hundred. This
is alone argument sufficient to show that
we are progressing in a ratio comparable
with any other town in the West. Our
mechanics are constantly employed, and
our merchants are crowded daily with
customers from almost every part Of our
vast and fertile interior.
The advantages of Brownville, we are
proud to assert, are becoming better
known, and the trading public are having
their eyes opened to the reatimportance
of making this a place of trade. Goods of
every possible kind can be had here at as
reasonable rates as any other points in
Nebraska, Iowa, or Missouri. These are
facts, and facts cannot be denied, but mus
be admitted by every honest man.
And now, let US glance briefly at the
future of the city Of Brown7ille. 1t has
all the resources to make the principal
city of the West, and if properly deve-
loped we think it a matter about which
none can doubt. Our agricultural facili-
ties are beyond comparison ; our position
~unequalled; our progress already sur
passes all others on the West side of the
Missouri river.
When we look over these and many
other facts, we are convinced that the day
is notfar distant when the city of Brown.
vile will deserve to be called the mighty
"Queen of the West" Indeed our for.
tune looks brilliant beyond EXPRESSION
and long after the many boasted town:
which now attract public attention shall
have passed from remembrance, Brown.
vile will stand at the head of the list OF
important places in the Territory-tht
glory Of Nebraska and envy of her com.
petitors. This may Tow seem an idle
boast, but time viii show its truth. "Romt
was not built in a day. saith the old pro.
verb. and it may take years to accomplish
the fulfllment of the prediction; but tina
state of things will be accomplished jus
as sure as we now occupy g position a.
third on the list of towns In Nebraska.

New enterprise

Much has been said inregard to stimu-
lating the interior of our country in order
to develope its resources, and we are
glad to chronicle an important measure
now in movement, which will undoubtedly
have that tendency. All know the river
towns, and that portion of any country
bordering on the river, receive a pro-
gressive impulse from passing trade which
is denied to less favored quarters lying IN
the interior, and that an artificial stimulus
is necessary to produce like results in the
back part of the country. Such a desira-
tum is about to be supplied in our county,
and we look for the most gigantic results.
We allude to the ship canal from Glen
Rock to this place and thence to Nemaha
City, petitions for which have been in
active circulation for some time past.
This matter has heretofore been unac-
countably overlooked by our enterprising
people and the only matter of establishment
is that it never before forced itself upon
their notice. However, to see, to deter
mine, to accomplish, is all one with us.
and no sooner was the matter suggested
that plenty men with capital and without
capital were found to take the matter in
hand and rapidly push things forward
We hope nothing will be thrown in the
way of this all-important measure, which
will tend in the least to retard its pro-
gress. Think how much better it will be
for a steamboat to rush up the ''raging
canawl' some II or 13 miles-discharge
its cargo of freight and calmly drop back
again, conscious of having fulfilled its
destiny, han the present mode of convey
ing supplies to that region, i. e. with an
ox-cart.
Then every one, directly or indirectly
interested, can have a branch run
ming to his verydoor, and we should not
be surprised were Nemaha county to be-
come a second Venice-minus the Condo
las. Besides, when the water reaches
the bluffs N the west side of our city
the fall it will there have of some 200
feet, nearly perpendicular, will be suffi.
cient to turn very heavy machinery, ant
several companies are forming to put W
establishments for the manufacture O
wooden and cotton goods, and also for the
erection of merchant and grist mills.
Like all other movements of a public
nature, everybody has a right to expires.
their opinion on the subject, and we are
sorry that a division has already sprung
up among those interested, as to the mode
of conveying said "canawl'' to Nemahs
City. Some are in favor of carrying j
there in water carts, while others thinl
the better mode will be to float it down il
the Missouri river, and by this means i
; will pass within a mile of the place, anc
should the inhabitants desire, they cal
establish a branch running back from the
river.
We might say great deal upon thi
subject, but its vast and practical utility i
necessarily so obvious to every one tina
il is entirely useless.
