a. hostile and menacing attitude to-
wards the whites which has had the
effect Of frightening the old traders,
who are rapidly vacating the country.
A party had gone from fort Randall,
to cooperate with a number Of troops
who had marched against the Santees,
a large and powerful band Of Sioux,
who were committing murd Grand every
attrocity against the whites. Never
was the region of the higher Missouri
in a worse condition as respects the
Indians, and it would not be astonish-
ing if before many weeks we should
receive the news Of a general Indian
war from the mouth of the yellow Stone
to the headwaters of the Missouri.

The above document was posted
through this County pretty thoroughly
last week, by a gentleman not a resi-
dent Of this County. We learn, too,
from reliable authority, that he was
paid for so doing by a small clique Of
sir residents of Nebraska City, fre Of
whom are aspirants for office. The
trick wouldn't work in this County
our people were too sharp. We've
our own way of attending to our own
business in Nemaha, and when we need
assistance will let u T distantneighbors

hict that is growing up all over Spanish
America between the Pope and the Rom
ish Church on n side, and the liberal
reformers and friends of constitutional
government on the other In this strife,
Spain. as the most Catholic nation, has
been induced to take the lead from a mo
tive of fattered vanity and national pride;
and Lord Palmerston comes in with the
indirect and irresponsible assistance that
can be afforded by the presence of the
British feet, in pursuit of his old chimera
that he must oppose American progress
and the influence of American ideas, be-
cause he believes they are a%ntagonistic to
the interests of England.
"Should President Comonfortn need any
assistance to sustain his administration
and the establishment of liberal reforms
and civil order in Mexico, against the as
sault of this unholy alliance, the true po-
licy of u government, and the natural
instincts of our people, will readily afford
him all he may require. The principles
involved in the conflict are too great, and
the results too momentous. to be neglect
ed for a single moment The efforts of
Mexico to throw off the incubus of church
monopoly and intestine revolution, and to
establish a firm rule that shall equally
protect the rights of all, command the
deepest sympathies of our people. In
view of the important events that may
spring from this Anglo-Hispano- Romish
alliance, let the politicians prepare for a
call from Mexico for assistance, and an
extra session Of Congress.

CONVENTION.

at a mass meeting of the citizens OF Johnson comfy.
holden at Teeumseh, July 4th, 1857, pursuant 10 call
therefor, r ID. Allen, Esq, was chosen Chairman, and
DR.. c. AGOshen, Secretary.
After the object Of the meeting was stated by c. A.,
Goshen, twas voted to elect one delegate to represent us
in the Congressional Convention to be held at Bellevue.
July I4th, 1857; and that j. Blake Hayes, ESD. be thai
delegate; and that be beinstTucted to vote for the Hon.
CT. Holly, of Nebraska City, as Olr first choice for dele
gate to the next Congress of the United States; but Ia
exercise his discretion in relation to all other candidates.
That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the
Nebraska Advertiser and the Nebraska News.
The Convention adjourned sine die.
ca GOSHEN, see'y.
BY special request We give place to
the above. We are sorry to e that
our Johnson County neighbors have
been caught in the trap made at Belle
vue and set by a few Nebraska City
co-operators-and that friend HOLLY
has been used as a bait. Now, how
ever much We might desire to support
and see elected G. F. HOLLY, it re-
quires no particular keenness of OBJ
servatiOn to see and know that there
is no possible chance, especially al
this late day, for his election; nOr is
there any possible chance to secure a
Conventional action in regardt to a Dele.
gate to Congress.
The election is entirely too close al
hand, and well the concoctors of this
Bellevue Convention knew this. 1t il
merely "a trick-a fire brand as i
were, thrown into the ace to produce
confusion and divisiOn-"Drownine
men catching at straws, and tht
mass of the people easily see it. W.
are sorry that a few good, well mean
ing men are drawn into the game
We r quite sure they will regret it
perhaps when it is too late for thei
good.

THE CELEBRATION AT xEMAHA CITY,

The celebration on the 18th at our
sister town Nemaha City--was a grand
affair-we say without hesitation it
was the most magnificent affair of the
kind we ever attended. The table was
four hundred feet long, and perfectly
groanedbeneath the weight of eatables
placed thereon. There were over two
thousand persons present, and after all
we're abundantly fed, there was yet
"enOugh and to spare" There was a
grand attendance of the fair sex
Nebraska Bellies. We heard one gen.
tleman, who has "traveled' thousands
of miles, remark that there were "more
pretty ladies present than he ever saw
in all his life before"
The citizens of Nemaha City deserve
great credit for the manner in which
their celebration was gotten up and
carried Out-especially is credit due
DR.. McCoMAs and others who took
upon their shoulders the labor atten-
dant upon such occasions.
AS above stated the attendance was
very large. Assembled in the new
Hotel building of Mr.. HIATT the ex-
ercises we're as announced last week.
The Brownville Choir composed of Mr.
and Mrs. THURBUR, o. r. and II. w.

selves great credit on the occasion

consort Of the late EZRA NUCKoLLs.
But two weeks since-a few moments as it were-ber
friends and her relatives were called to follow to the
grave the remains Of her afectiOnate husband when a
second summons enJoined them to discharge the same
lnOuTnful duties to her Ownl She died as she had lived in
love and devotion to her Creator, and when the angel Of
death arrived she rejoiced in the confidence of being re-
stored in the joyous presence of their mutual Father,
friend, and God, to one to whom, during her earthly ca
reer, she had fulfilled the obligations of a lutiful and an
sfecticnate wife as well as 70 his children Of a tender and
an exemplary mother.
While the public deeply sympathizes with the friends
and relatives of the deceased in the grief that arises from
the absence OF those thus suddenly removed from among
us, it serves in some measure to mitigate our sorrow by
rejecting that They Ucere I0Uely Ia their HUeS and in
their death rere not divided.n

is simply mistaken in supposing that

cOMpI1MENrARY surrER 70 JUDGE BLACK

On Tuesday evening last we were
present at a most magnificent supper
given by the Bar of Omaha City in
honor of the Judiciary and more par
ticularly as a compliment to the Hon.
SAMUEL W. BLACK, who has recently
arrived among us as one of our Su-
preme Justices. The table was loaded
with all the luxuries of the season and
got up in Keith's best style. After
justice had been done the eatables, the
meeting was addressed by Gov. CUM
MING andJudge FURGUsoN, who briefly
extended the right hand of fellowship
to Judge BLACK. The Judge respond
ed in one of the ablest and most elo-
quent speeches we ever remember to
have heard. AS a public speaker
Judge BLACK has few equals, no supe-
rior. The meeting was addressed by
Gen. CHAPMAN, late of California, in
an able and happy manner. The Gen.
was followed by Messrs. Poppleton,
Turk, EstabroOk, Moore, and other
gentlemen in short but able speeches.
Champagne circulated freely, "and
joy reigned uneonfned." At a late
hour the company broke up we'll salts
fed with themselves, and also with the
fact that we now have a Judiciary no
State in the Union need be ashamed

DEAR ADVERTISER,

DEAR ADVERTISER,
While on a flying visit to Richardson
county yesterday, / had occasion to stop
at Archer, ard after conversing with a
number of citizens l was highly delighted
with Col. RANK1N's prospects for election.
All agree that he will get almost a una
nimous vote at the Archer precinct. I
was at Salem also when the Col. addressed
a large meeting Of squatters hastily
gathered together. So far as feeling and
sentiment were concerned, / believe the
most influential men in Salem are for
Col. Rankin, and say his majority in that
and Pawnee county will be very large
His prospects are decidedly fattering.-

dates for Representatives in Richardson

opinions as Secretary of the interior.
The duties and responsibilities of his
Office are about as multifarious and i'm

Presidents. He is the directing head
of the Pension Land, Indian, and
Patent Office Departments, besides a
world of duties devolving on him, of

a Cabinet Minister, as advisory counsel
