Wedding.

There was on the 25th of January, a
wedding "over the waters" and about
half our exchanges contains little else but
detailed accounts of the "Royal Marriage
in England"-"Dresse worn on the &C.
casion"-"The Chapeln-"The AItar''-
"The Royal Wedding Cake"-aProces-
sion from the Court"-"Her Majesty's
Procession"--"Ceremon in the Chapel
Bridal Chamber"-"Marriage Festi-
val" Sc, &c. We don't see any differ
ence in the marriage of the Queens
daughter and the gentlemanfrom Prussia,
and any other respectable young couple.
Why all this apeing of nobility worship
ing? We wonder that visions Of Madame
Trollope, Kossuth, Dickens. and Amin
Bey don't disturb the slumbers of more
Americans than apparently they do
Have we not made laughing stocks Of our
selves often, and long enough in such
matters!
We see that Mr.. Mason, Of the Senate,
on the l1th inst, Submitted ajoint reso-
luton comforting authority upon the Pre-
sident to make appropriate arrangements
for the reception of Of the distinguished
naval oficern now on his way to America"
If u neighbors come to see US, treat

may chance to come among US, and on his
return home ridicule US, OF, turn out to be

tired Of.

Hon. James Craig.

We see that the st. Joseph Gazette has
hoisted the name of Hon. JAMES CRA1G
the present popular Representative in
Congress from that district, for r~e-elec-
ton, subject to the decision Of the Demo-
cratic District Convention. Perhaps it's
not our "put in;" but, from a personal ac-
q~uaintance with the Captain, we will say
that if the people of that District consult
their true interest, they will return him.
The Gazette, in announcing his name
says:
SAT the head Of our columns to-day we
place the name of urpresent popular and
efficient member Of Congress, Jas Craig
for reelection. Our support of Captain
Craig will Of course, be subject to the. ac-
ton Of the Congressional convention of
this district. We feel fully and entirely
justified in thus offering u support to this
gentleman, who SO lately received the
most lattering majority ever given to a
Democrat in this State, in view of the op-
position which was waged against him.
Capt. Craig's capacity, as has been sig
nally evinced in his short course at the
Federal Capitol, to do eminent service for
his District and. State, has fully met all
the promises which his friends made for
him two years ago.
In thus supporting James Craig for re-
election, we not only propose to endorse a
public servant who has been most faithful
in every capacity in which he has been
tried, but as We conceive, are performing
a service to the people of the district,
whose interests we could not in any other
way more faithfully ~subserve.
When we assert that there is not in the
district a man who would devote himself
with more energy, industry and tact to the
duties of a Representative in Congress, we
simplyannounce what all who have cbserv-
ed the course Of Capt. Craig will fully
and ~cheerfully endorse. He is what the
people want-a working man, and as such
we earnestly desire, and we believe the
people do, his return to the laborious
and honorable station which he at pres
ent fills.

More Talk,

We extract the following from business
letters We have received the past week.
They were Of course not written for pub
LEGATION; but simply a passing reference
made to the. Legislative difficulties, when
writing upon other matters. We copy to
show what the feeling is in various parts
of the Territory.
From a friend in Douglas county:
eve o. course regret the recent Leg
~islatiye difficulties; think they ought TO,
and could have been prevented. l am
pleased with the high toned position your
paper the advertiser" has taken in re-
gard to the matter, to which | think no
reasonable person can take exceptions, or
to your course as a member Of the Legis-
lature."
From a gentleman in johnson County,
sending several new subscribers
"The stand your paper has taken is
consistent with right and justice, and
should and will be sustained by every
'squateer sovereign Believing such will
be the case, l remain yours, Sc"
A subscriber the past year a resident Of
Cass county, says:
Enclosed find 50 in payment for the
Advertiser sent the past year. am TAX
ing so many other papers, and times are
so hard, really You must pardon me for
asking my name stricken from your list
for the epresent. Lest you should think
me dissatisfied with your paper, allow me
to- say, 1t has always been a welcome WIS.,
itor, and most heartily do / approve Of
your course as to our Legislative difficult
ties, and in this l think | speak the SEN
timents of my neighbors."
An old friend in Richardson county,
writes - also. sends us two new subscri-
bers:
81 am now ready to reiterate what ]
told you at the Capitol, that there is but
one sentiment in this community in regard
to the difficulties at Omaha, and that is.

a,ors from Wisconsin besides Bright, Of

in all eleven seats will need occupants.
Some of these States, whose Senator'S
terms viii expire, may already be classed
as Black Republican, and the reception of
the Lecompton Constitution by a Demo
cratic Congress may result In the entire
defeat ofthe the Democracy in the States
now Democratic. Thus, in all probabili-
tv. eleven additional Senators will stand
IN the Black Republican side of the Unit
ed States Senate, making parties stand
thus: Democrats. 81; Opposition, inclu-
ding Kansas, So. Majority for the OPP
position. 2.
This is not an encouraging picture to
look upon. But politicians, if they will,
can make the prospect pleasanteTs We.
do not think we exaggerate the difficulties
10 be apprehended atthe Northby the re-
ception of the Lecompton Constitution by
a Democratic Congress. With Gov. Den
ver's proclamation before us, endorsing
the people of Kansas in the protest against
the constitution, we cannot see how a DEM
oeratic Senator or member of Congress
| could face his constituents In the North, if
he voted for its acceptance. The South
not only positively gains nothing, but los
es much by making the Leeompton Con
stitution test with the Northern Democ-
racy. 1t will only help to drive 1t out of
Congress, and drive the Northern Demo-
cratic Senators out Of Congress, who would
stand by the South in bringing in Arizona
as a slave state, or securing to US Cuba,
Nicaragua or Mexico.
1t is not our desire to dictate what the
South or the North should do in this emer-
gencv; but we do desire to see the Ma
tional Democracy united and strengthen
ened, and believe it our duty to fearlessly
present ta that great party such facts as
may tend to- warn it against destruction.
This the more particularly needful now,
in view Of the new issues which must
arise within a few years, and which must
be the means of securing wealth, power,
and an extension Of our Institutions south
ward, if our statesmen now look calmly
at the facts before theyplunge the North,
with the South, into the Lecompton mall
strom. They should neither sacrifice the
North or South for Kansas; especially
when there is such i~ncontrovertible rea+
sons Gas given by Governor Denver) for
letting Kansas alone.

DEAR FURNAs:-
Much has been said on both sides of
the question-''Were the majority of the
Legislature right or justiiable in leaving
the Capital, Omaha, and going to Flor
ence." Much has been said by our Rep
resentatives, King and Rogers, in iustif-
cation of their course, while MI. Melon
aid takes grounds against them. A num-
Der Of meetings have been held, and sun
dry document read on both sides of the
question. This being a question of Law,
and a question of deep interest to the peo-
pie. l feel that while l am not capable of
giving a legal decision, | am compelled,
at least with the lights before me, to JUS
tify the majority, enough to say that l be-
lieve their motives were good, especially
when we consider, as the evidence on both
sides, clearly shows, that the "wheels of
Legislation were stopped for no other rea-
son than to prevent Legislation on the Cap
ltaI questlon-certainly a proper question
for Legislation. What was their motive in.
going to Florence? Certainly not to re-
tard Legislation, but to be free to legislate
upon any and all subjects. 1t cannot be a
question as to whether or not the major

The Nebraska City Netcs, in speaking
of the reception ceremonies says
prolonged applaus Sc greeted the Gov

and fellow citizens, for the kind and cor

mannerin which the welcome of Nebraka

mn Of Che distinguished gentleman who
had Just addressed him,
The Governor EXPRESSED his agreeable
surprise at the extent Of our Improvements,
the natural resources of the country and
the evidences of industry energy, and
enferpaise which he had noticed In our
towns and In his travels through the Ter
tritory.
He said we have all the elements of a
great Commonwealth. He pledged him
self to unite with the people in securing
for Nebraska that prominent and perma-
nent position which her great natural re-
sources, fertile soil, exuberant climate and
geographical situation surely and inevita:
BY destined for her, and he assured us
that his Administration so far as a will to
do and an ability to act on his part were
concerned, should not be wanting in pre-
pairing Nebraska to enter the sisterhood OF
States, pushing out the settlements back
ward and westward, and carrying on the
advanced column Of Improvements, Chris
tianity and civilization TO the Rocky Noun
tains and the utmost verge Of our present
Territorial limits.
In reply to an ~allusion Of the orator te
the part which his Excellency bore IN the
great contest over the passage of the bill
Which gave birth to the Territories Of
kansas and N Nebraska, Governor Richard
son said, that perhaps concerning no lQne
act of his public life had he experienced
as few doubts as to the ultimate results Of
the policy of the Kansas Nebraska bill
and, if we mistake not. added that had he
ever entertained any doubts, those doubt:
illusions were dispelled upon his ad.
vent to Nebraska and after travelling
through her borders and mingling witt
her people. IT'S true upon his arriya

confusion bat that was but temporary
bubble upon the ocean of our prosperity
The people would and must be allowed tC
regulate their affairs in their own way
He had regretted, he still regretted the
causes which had even for a day checked
our prosperity and married our happiness
but these trihes would not last long an(
must soon be numbered with the thing,
that were.

BSPIn 1860, there will be another contest for the
Presidency and the veteran nagS who have been long
DESTROYS of winning the prize already in training for
the race Mr.. Crittenden has been taking prelimina
ry Canter the Cincinnati part of the track-taking
OF patriOtism-the extravaganza of the Administration
which he accuses of spending eighty millions ofdol
lars etc. etc. He had been performing some movements
in the Senate designed to give him favorable start
get him the inside of the upon himself
all elements which the whole opposition to the
Democracy can command. The Kansas issue is over
for the time being Mr.. Crittenden has made fair wealth
er with the North on that and he thinks that he has not
wholly killed himself of at the South He may seek
and will seek to combine sort of national Or
ganization in favour of protection, and all the other
abandoned hobbies that long divided the country. He
will spread himself over the eighty odd millions that the
Administration does not ask for carrying on the govern
sion of 1878 is all due to the Democrats. Will he
succeed? That is another thing, and the answer can
best be given by time which will show all things One
thing is cerain-the Democrats are not often defeated
but they haze been defeated often enough TO prove that
there is always danger in DIVISION or the lack of proper
exertion.
Whether Mr.. Crittenden is not little too soon-
whether the show of his hand may not be regarded as
premature is more than we can say. We must think
that he and his mitator in the House. Mr. Gmer have
account in the course they have adopted.
