Nh. EDIroR:-
learn with no ordinarydegree of won
der and surprise that the Editor of the
"Nemaha Journal" expresses himself de-
cidedly antagonistic to the Democracy or
ganizing IN the Territory. How strange
it is that any good Democrat should init
mate any opposition to the known inte-
rests of his party! l cannot concede to
the "Journal'' sincerity in this matter,
and confidently indulge the hope that we
will meet with very little opposition in
that quarter.
Ihave much reason to believe the Edl-
tor of the Journal a sound and faithful
democrat, and capable of doing a good
part in the democratic ranks; and l should
regret exceedingly for him to persist in
the course he is about marking out. We
need, Mr.. Journal, your invaluable servi-
ces in these unsettled and trying times,
and l think you would be guilty of an
objectionable, omissionof duty, should you
desert your party at this crisis. Think
of this matter more soberly-give it a
little more attention, and. l know, you
will be with us "heart and hand"
Well, Mr.. Journal, don't you say you
are a democrat, and, of course, willing to
be governed by the will Of the majority
Then suppose the majority of your breth-
rem say, organize; will you cease all OPP
position and unite with them? If such a
democrat, as l believe you to be, you will
most certainly.
l suppose a little explanation must be
given in regard to my remark that there
seemed to be but one political party in
Nebraska. Let any n take the trouble
to ascertain the sentiments of the people
on political issues, and he VIII, Judging
from their expressions, come to the con-
clusion that all are democrats-nearly
every man will say, 81 am a democrat p
but at the same time the fact is plainly
discernible that the principles of Black
Republicanism are consonant with the
feelings of these individuals-that they
are not like you, Mr.. Journal, true, faith
full and tried in the glorious cause of de-
mocracy.
Therefore, Mr.. Journal, an organiza-
ton is called for to purge the party Of
Black Repu~blicanism, Abolitionism, and
Niggerism-and on this point / am well
satisfied you will agree with me and lend
your valuable assistance to consumate an
object so universally desirable by all
genuine democrats throughout our own
country. l know you have fought many
a democratic battle in the State from
which you lately emigrated, but I'm moi
sure that you ever won many victories
never received q "crown of Distinction
at least from the democratic party, But
this is not to the point. We want a demo
cratic organization, and thereby ensure
harmonious action among Nebraska Dem
ocrats. We want a platform, democratic
and conservative in its tone-such a one
as will be freely endorsed and subscribed
10 by all good democrats in every section
Of our Territory-and l am verify of the
opinion that if "party lines" were drawn,
much of local feeling and sectional strife
would cease, and in lieu of north and south
Platte-this locality or that.-We would
have National Democracy and Black Re.
publicanism. And l do not know, Mr.
Journal there ever will be any better time
to meet our political enemies than now.
We are as fully prepared to go into an
engagement with them at this day as we
will be at any time to come. 1t is ouI
duty to keep fresh in the memories Of
those who are coming after US the great
and glorious principles of democracy. We
should ever be watchful of the interests
of the party-ever solicitous of its I'M
shaken union in the Territories as wella
In the States.
Then, Mr.. Editor of the Journal, il
your heart be imbued with a spark of pa
triotism, or love. Of country or party, we
feel no hesitation in saying that you viii
send forth your voice, andwield your able
pen in favor Of Immediate gathering to-
gether of democrats in this Territory
and the adoption of a platform by which
you will stand through adversely or pros
perity-"sink or swim, survive or perish
