The Utah Policy.

Our readers are aware that, though
one of the chief matters laid before Con-
gress. and urged upon the consideration
of that body by Mr. Buchanan, in his an
nual message, the Utah difficulties have
yet received no practical adequate a:ten-
ton. The increase of forces necessary
for the Western movement, was delayed
from time to time, and finally tWo regi-
mentS of volunteers were raised. The
necessary appropriations were absolutely
refused for so long a time that vigorous
measures for the present year have been
absolutely defeated.
1t is under this state of affairs hat the
policy of Cancellation and peace-making
has been probably adopted. That this was
not the original policy of the administra-
ton is evident from the measures recon-
mended by Mr.. Buchanan in his messages
upon the subject.
We regret that the President has been
driven to the expedient of treating with a
traitor. We regret that a religious ia
natic, who can complain of no grievance
whatever, who, with his followers, has
enjoyed the widest tolerance that was ever
contemplated by our free institutions,
should have been suffered to place him
self before the world as an enemy upon
an equal footing with the government to
which he owes allegiance.
The Republican of the 18th says:
ave hear from a source entitled to
confidence, that an express messenger
passed through this city some two weeks
ago, with instructions to Gen. Johnston,
in command of the troops at Camp Scott,
not to commence offensive operations
against Great Salt Lake City and the
Mormons, until the arrival of the com
~missioners, Messrs. Powell and McCul-
Tough, to treat with Gov. Young and his
rebels. The express will have to make
great haste if he overtak= Gen. Johnston
this side of Salt Lake City"
We trust that Gen. Johnston will have
subdued the whole tribe and established
the authority of Gov. Cumming, and hi:
associates, before this messenger or the
commissioners reach the valley.-&. 10.

to place me in a very unfavorable and
false light before the community. There
fore 1 wish, through the medium of your
paper, to make a few statements showing
the T q position of affairs in the case.
"Among the sacrifices required by Mr..
Skeen, was the unconditional surrender
by MI. j. B. Hoover, "a son of Doctor
Hoover) of forty acres of valuable land
adjoining the town, which he (Mr. J. b.
Hoover) had, three years ago, taken pos
session of, fenced, plowed, and otherwise
improved by his W unassisted industry,
and which was all of our vast public do
main that he had claimed, although the
first pioneer of this region. He gener-
ously gave it up at his fathers request,
with the proviso that he should receive
one hundred dollars for the improvements
-muchle than they had cost him. This
reasonable condition being objected To-
the pound of flesh insisted upon-Col.
Nixon-having no interest in the matter,
except that which had been elected by the
testimony as to the relative rights of the
parties-generously proposed to pay the
sum required! This was, of course, hui
initiating to the claimant, but not enough
to arouse a spirit of magnanimity-and it
was also refused. The young man must
make a full sacriice-and he did it,"
The facts are simply these: 1 settled
upon and improved the said claim some
time before the land was surveyed, and
consequently did not know exactly where
the lines were situated. About twelve
months. after l had made my settlement
Mr.. j. B. Hoover bought an so acre
tract of Mr.. Allen Coate and filed upon
the whole quarter, which took in n hall
of my claim, including my house and
part of my Improvements.
Now l ask any candid man, was 1 no
justifable in trying to save my farm ant
improvements, and if l had not q lega.
right to contest for what was Justly my
own, no matter if the individual with
whom l was c~ontesting did happen to b
the son of DR.. Hoover, the proprietor O.
Nemaha City? And furthermore, l thinl
the editor of a public journal is prOstitut
ing the high position he occupies wheI
he descends to pamper the p~rejudices o
individuals, no matter who, in the endea
vor to injure one who has never harmec

PIattsmOuth Convention.

Mn. EDITOR:
Permit me through the columns of
your paper to make an appeal to the De-
mocracy of Nemaha county, in relation to
the prOpriety of holding a county conven-
ton in view of the Territorial conven-
ton to be held at Plattsmouth. 1t be-
hooves US as Union loving men to be up
and dooing in time, so as to meet our
friends from all sections of the Territory.
Therefore l would urge immediate action
in regard to the appointing of delegates
to the Plattsmouth Convention. 1t is
we'll known that some differences of OPT
Mon have existed in the Democratic
ranks in regard to the expediency of adj
hitting Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution. OF this / am not going to
speak at this time; suffice it to say hat it
is dead, and with it should cease all envy
ing or pickering. Let democrats take a
higher and nobler stand; unfurl your ban
ner in defense of our common constitu-
ton; in defense of those great principles
which are of vital Importance to US ALL
Let the differences be what they may on
mere questions Of policy; on the great
question of the Union the National Dem
ocratic party have ever been a unit. 1t
will ever continue TO be SO. When were
democrats divided on national questions
Let me answer, never. Since the time of
Jefferson the great National Democratic
party has stood firm on all important
question. True, as l said before, there are
some differences of opinion in regard &c
those questions, but whenever the Consti.
tuition of our common country has been
assailed by Southern fanatics; lead on by
northern demagogues and abolitionists
when the war cry of d%isunion was raised
and when all appeared ready to demolisf
this fair fabric, then behold such men a:
the learned statesman S. A. Douglas, the
bold and fearless Green, Harris, Bigler
and a host of others, stand side by side il
t the defense of our common country. LIE
me say to you, fly now to the relief:of on
Y beloved country; assemble yourselves ii
D convention, appoint your delegates, nomi
t nate your candidates, and you will ensure
their election and as we have but a shor
: time to do all this, l would propose W,
meet IN Brownville, Nemaha county, Oh
the second Monday in May, and procee'
g to the appointment of delegates to tn
Democratic Convention at Plattsmouth.

During the discussion Mr.. Giddings

Rare Curiosity.

As the workmen were e~xcavating near
L. ]. Goddard's new dwelling corner of
Florence and Central Avenue they dis
covered a rare specimen of antiquarian
workmanship, apparently intended as a
vase for flowers. Its composition appears
to be fine gravel and clay in equal pro-
portions, rendered hard as stone by some
chemical prOcess-lime forming no part
of its composition. 1t is artisticalIy orna-
mented with cuts, placed at regular dis
tances all round the rim outside, parallel
lines extending perpendicularly from the
base of these exquisite figures to the bot
tom of the vessel, which is nearly allied
in shape, to an ordinary flower vase of the
present day. This is undoubtedly a spe-
cimen of the skill of some civilized and
refined nation that "rose, reigned, and
fell prior to the existence on this CONT
nent, of those rude and warlike tribes in
correctly termed the "Aborigenes of
America.-CentraI City Oracle.

Sale Of CityLOtS,

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement in another column Sale
of Town LOIS in the city of Brownyille.'
We presume it is unnecessary for US to
do more than call attention. Our city, its
Importance, and the value of property
therein, are too well known to require
any newspaper putting at this day; when
all concede to US the position of third best
city in Nebraska, and really, surrounded
with more natural advantages perhaps
than any other point in the Territory. A
great portion of the property is among the
best in the city, being situated on Front
and Main streets, suitable either Tor bust
ness or residence. Another such an op.
pOrtunity to procure property in Brown.
vile will not occur again, we feel very
sure. The terms too are quite a consi'
Iteration. For further information apply

1t may interest many of our readers to
learn something of the t~estamentary ar.
engagements Of the distinguished citizen
whose final departure from this city, the
scene Of his long and arduous career, to
his last resting place, is noted above. Col.
Benton names as his executors, and also
as trustees of his daughters. his sons-in-
laws, VIM. Carey Jones, John Charles
Fremont, and Richard Taylor Jacob, and
his friends Montgomery Blair and Phil
lips Lee. The entire remaining library
is bequeathed to Mr.. Jones, who thus be-
comes the literary legatee; in which there
seems an appropriateness, on account of
his long association with Col. Benton in
his literary labors, and his own ability as
a writer and acquaintance with public
affairs. The will was made last Septem-
Der, while Mr.. Jones was in Central
America. The fourth son-in-law-than
whom neither of them is more respected
Mr.. Boileau, is not named as one of
the executors, on account, probably, of his
remote permanent residence, he being
