pie, however, that these vfoiEtors Of law and
breakers up Of the territorial government are 3
body Of speculating New England Yankees from
Iowa--or else il may be an offset to your re-
peated screeches about Missouri violence. Ne
brasza presents the spectacle Of band of up
per crust gentry from the Tree States overawing
and intimidating the Legislature, and determi-
ned TO force the location OF the capital in par.
ticular place. One man with ie-knife and
pistol, daunts the Sergeant-at- and all
others, and the mob back him up. Freedom Of
speech is stitled legislation is interrupted, con-
tempt thrown on popular sovereignty, and yet
we behold no calls by our Republican friends for
meetings, to express their Indignation. If the
aggression upon Nebraska had been from Mis-
souri, instead of Iowa, the very air would have
been turbulent with horrid imprecations, the
press would have teemed with denuncation and
abuse, orators would have been eloquent over
the wrongs Of man-Governors would have rec
commended specific appropriations for the suffer-
ing adventures, and the pulpit would, as in the
recent campaign, have proclaimed the compati-
bity Of murder with the religion Of Jesus
Christ. But now we hear no muttering thunder,
there is no political capital to be wrung out of
this contest, and party without principle never
acts unselflShly. We trust our Legislature will
speak out on Nebraska as it did on Kansas
speak out Sjlomons and don't let your modesty
keep you from duty. We hope the young mems
Republican association will act promptly, and
that our neighbors of the Journal will swell,
until they burst their breeches, (even if the
weather is cold) in honest indignation over these
new free State border ruffans.

News from Nebraska.
Our exchanges have been, for few days past
publishing description of scenes alledged to
have taken place in the Nebraska Legislature,
and also statement that the capitol had been
removed from Omaha.
We give below ain extract from letter, just
received, from a most reliable source, which
will be of interest at this moment:
OMAHA, Jan. Is, 1857.
DEAR SIM - y
We have Just had hard contest here on the
capitol bill. certain Lieut.. Gov. McOomas,
Of Va, is here, AMI in conjunction with certain
other unscrupulouS spectators, have concocted
scheme of removing the seat of Government
to place named Douglas, which does not even
possess the merit Of existing on paper They
had scrip Cor certificates OF stock,) issued, and
! by scattering it lavishly among those members
! who were Indifferent on the subject, and ap
peallng to those from the southern portion o
the Territory, whose jealousy of the north
would prompt them to favor any sort of change
formidable combination wasdeveloped in bbtf
Houses of the Legislature, and the bill was pas
sed by . large majority. Our members herr
battled manfully, but without availing anything
'ro.ihorrow Gov. lizard will veto the bill, anC
thus it will fall to the ground, the most magnif
icent swindling operation, which has yet dis
graced our prosperous territory. This Saih
Gov. McComas has become notorious for ''clain
jumping" and public meeting of our citizen
is talked Of to jump him across the Missouri
understand also that this same ardent son 0
the old Dominion aspiros to be our Governor
and is m1kng efforts to displace our presen
popular Executive, Gov. Izard,) who is an hon
est man, and much respected. Ii McComa
fails to be Governor he designs to try for Con
gresS. In both of which his ambition is desti
ned to be disappointed, for he would not be PEI
mttel to E0e here a day as Governor, and the
sufrages Of the people would be sure to pnt ;
quietuS upon his Congressional aspirations.
wish you would notice this matter in the
Statesman, 80 that the friends of Nebraska cal
see that we are not so easily led into the disor
ganizing policy which has characterized our sis
ter territory. he seat of Government is per-
n,anently located at Omaha, a1d there it vii
remain for some years yet.
