T~erritOrial Printer.

Much has been said in relation to the
Territorial printer in Nebraska. AT the
recent session of the Legislature, R. w.
Furnas, was duly elected to that impor-
4ant position, and he will, without doubt,
when the matter is fairly examined into,
be continued as public printer, and the
action Of the Legislature sustained. No
man in Nebraska, from what we can
learn, has any higher claim upon it than
Mr.. Furnas, and certainly none deserve
it more. Since his advent into Nebras-
ka he has labored increasingly, both men
tally and physically, fer the best interests
-of the Territory, and probablyno single
man has done more than he, and we re-
gard it but an act of justice on the part
of the Legislature, to award him the
Public Printing. Milton S. Reynolds, of
the Nebraska City News, to the contrary,
Notwithstanding. - Holt County (Mo.)

Annexation Of "SOUth Platte"
Nebraska, to Kansas.
Public Meeting.

A meeting of the citizens of Brown
vile and vicinity, was called on Tues
day evening, the 9TH inst, to take into
consideration the e~xpediency of calling a
convention of the people of South Platte
portion Of Nebraska, for the purpose of
obtaining IN expression of their views
in regard to annexation to Kansas.
The meeting was organized by appoint
ing Hon. RICHARD BRowN President and
o. B. HEwErr Secretary. The follow
ing preamble and resolutions were unan-
imously adopted.
Whereas, The question of ~annexing that
portion of Nebraska situated South of
the Platte Riverto the Territory of Kan
sas, is beginning seriously to agitate the
public mind: and
Whereas, The measure is one which so
materially concerns the interest of the
people of that section of Nebraska as to
merit their prompt and serious ~considera-
ton and
WhcreaS, We, the citizensof BrownyHle
and of Nemaha county, deem it desirable
that a conference of the people Of "South
Platte" should be held, and an interchange
of views and feelings upon that subject
should be had, and, further, that a time
and place for holding such conference
should be appointed therefore, be it
ResolUed, That the people of every coun-
ty Of South Platte Nebraska be and hereby
are invited to meet in Convention, to be
held at the city of Brownville, on the first
Wednesday of January, A. D., 1859, for
the purpose of interChanging views, and
obtaining the sense of the people of that
section of Nebraska upon the proposed
annexation to Kansas.
RESOLVED, That we do earnestly urge
upon our fellow-citizens the Importance
of such a convention being held, and that,
in selecting Brownyille as the point for
holding it, we are influenced only by con-
siderations of centrality and local conve-
nience to the whole of South Platte.
RESOLVED, That we recommend to u
fellow-citizens of other counties, that they
do Immediately take steps to secure a
representation IN the proposed convention ;
and hat the citizens Of Nemaha county
be requested to meet on Wednesday the
18th inst, at Peru, for the purpose of APP
pointing delegates to the South Platte
Convention.
ResOlUsd, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Advertiser
and Journal Of Brownville, and that all
papers favorable to the proposed conven-
ton be requested to copy them.
ReSoIved, That R. w. FURNAs be cho-
sen to correspond with individuals in the
several counties south of the Platte in
Nebraska in regard to the said conven-
ton,

Seward Renudiated.

The Cincinnati Commercial, the organ
of Governor Chase, of Ohio, closes a re-
view of Stewards recent speech of Ro-
chester, with the following very signii-
cant but very just remarks of the distin-
guished New Yorker:
"With this speech as al a%ntecedent,
his election to the Presidency, if he Is
elected, will result from some enormous
crime, weakness or folly of the opposite
party or it's candidate. and not from any
strength of lis own. He will not be a
safe man for any party to nominate for
the time is past when doctrines such as he
e~nunciates are to find a paying demand
anywhere in the American Union.

From Washington.

We extract the following paragraphs
relative to Nebraska from the Washing
ton correspondence of the St. Louis Re-
publican. The writer, while he has the
point at issue relative to the Public Print
ing controversy has jumbled up the par
ties or papers contending, terribly, as
will be seen by those familiar with the
circumstances r
81 understand that Judge Black, of the
Supreme Court of Nebraska, will proba-
bly succeed VIM. A. Richardson as Gov
ernor Of that Territory. Such | know to
be Mr.. Buchanan's wishes, but he hest
tates as to the propriety of bestowing any
more patronage upon Pennsylvania
Judge Black, | understand, is from the
Pittsburg district. AS, however, it would
be vacating one office to fill another, or in
other words, only changing a position,
| am inclined to believe that Judge B.
will be the new Governor. The Presi-
dent says he will not appoint until after
the meeting of Congress, in just time
for his successor to reach the Territory
by the first of January, when Governor
Richardson's resignation takes effect
"The p~roprietors of the Nebraska City
News and the Brownville Advocate Ad-
vertiser, have gotten into a squabble over
the printing spoils in the Territory. Mr..
Morton, the proprietor of the Advocate,
News, being Secretary Of the Terrific
ry, claims the right to designate the pub
lie printer to print the Territorial laws,
and has accordingly designated his own
press, which he pretends to have sold to
his brother. The Legislature believing
they had the right to elect their own
printer, elected the proprietor of the Ne
baaska City News, Nebraska Advert
SER. The question at issue has been re-
ferred to Washington for settlement.
How it will be disposed of l am unable
to say, though l understand that prece-
dent is in favor of the Legislature"

A Republican Reply to Stewards
O-n0nh


There are Republicans at the North
who are speaking u The New Hamp-
shire Statesman is one, and just now
says:
"Now let us inquire, in the name of
common sense, of what avail is it to
prove by statistics that we pay three
fourths of all the revenue of the govern
ment, while southern consumers are our
largest consumers? OF what avail is it
to prove to the satisfaction of every poll
~itician, that we supply the South with all
that they wear, from a top-knot to a shoe
latchet; with all that they use, of every
article, from a steam engine to a fric-
ton match, when this very necessity
feeds our manufacturers? The South is
as necessary to the North as the North is
to the South. Massachusetts annually
makes millions of dollars worth of shoes.
The South is her best customer. When
the shoe business declines, gaunt hunger
stalks through the streets of her flourish
ing villages.
New England is extensively engaged
in the manufacture of cotton. We buy
the raw material of the South, and pay
in goods. When our spindles cease to
whirl, the operatives are threatened with
starvation. Il is the spirit of a hyena
that bites the hand that feeds it. 1t is
high time to cultivate fraternal feeling
between the different sections of our
co11Dtrxv Na;tbar oo~poorco ,oore..
rieS, nor agriculture can flourish, while
the two hostile portions Of our country
endeavor to injure and cripple each other.
Suppose we succeed in convincing the
South of their dependence on us for all
they eat, and wear, and use, and thus
stimulate them to establish manufactures
for themselves, or divert their trade into
other channels, are we gamers by the
process
Suppose we prove that they are in
debted to US for all their literature and
all their teachers, and thus rouse their
hostility to our books and teachers, are
we benefited in anywise? No good has
come or ever will come from this crimi-
nation and determination. 1t neither
strengthens the party, nor hasteus the
downfall of slavery. We hold that every
State has the right to determine what in
stitution it will adopt.
Why, then hoist the banner of mo
more slave States,' when the very cor
ner stone of our political fabric rests on
the principle that a majority of the peo-
pie of every State, new or old, shall de-
cidethat question for itself?"
We shall be glad to hear all New Eng
land, and all the free States, and all the
States of the Union, respond Amen" to
this.
