We have before US copy Of an address Of
the State Committee of the Pennsylvania
regular Democracy, issued the other day
from Harrisburg. 1t is signed by Robert
Tyler (son of Elk President Tyler) as chair
man, and bears throughout the evidences of
constitutional pleader of the Old Virginia
school.
On the great subject of squatter sover-
eighty the committee contend substantially
that should the necessity arise, it will be-
come the duty of Congress to interpose
against the "unfriendly legislation Of the
local authorities Of a territory on the sub
ject of slavery, SO that the rights Of slave
holders may be duly protected. Thus, while
the regular Democracy of Pennsylvania oc-
cupy the platform of Governor Wise, the
Hlcman-Forney boilers stick to the platform
of Douglas. And thus We suppose they will
60 into their October election. And thus,
right and left. the Democracy, upon their
negro distractions, are torn to pieces
Who could have dreamed Of such terrible
disasters from that "popular sovereignty
experiment of Senator Douglas and Mr..
Pierce, the Kansas. Nebraska bill.-(N. Y.

Democratic Consistency illustrate d
"A Good NOmi nation.

"a 1OOQ O"1 on
One of the best things (if not the only
good thing) done by the late Iowa State
Democratic Convention, was the nomi nation
Of the Hon. A. @. Dodge for Governor
Mr.. d. is q sound Democrat, friend OF the
Administration, and an able and worthy
man. If elected, he will prove true DEM
ocrat, notwithstanding the exceptionable
features in the platform erected by the Con-
vention.-(ChicagoH Herald.
The above indicates very clearly the har-
monious condition of the Democratic party.
They set Administration candidates upon a
mongrel Douglas platform, and then unite
in attempting to cheat the people into voting
their ticket. That the whole thing is bare
faced swindle, j. self-evident. But whether
Douglas or Buchanan is to be cheated can
not certainly be told until after the election.
OF course one of them must be. But in re-
gard to the people there 10 no uncertainty
In any event every man who votes the ticket
will be swindled-the victim of misplaced
confidence Hawkeye.

A sale OF free negaoes, who have failed to
pay their taxes, took place on the 10th inst
at Portsmouth, Virginia. Thirty men and
boys, and seventy women and girls were sold
"under provision of the city charter, d.
reoting the sale OF all free negroes who fail
to pay their taxes.''
Upon what principle do Democrats defend
the propriety Of selling men into slavery for
failure to pay their taxes? The law of
God requires that we should do as we would
be done by, and the Declaration Of Indepen.
dence proclaims the equal and inalienable
rights OF all men to liberty. This selling OF
men into slavery for failing to pay their tax
es must, therefore, be practice derived
from the principles and platforms Of Loco
focoism.
This seems to us no laughing matter. In
one little town the slaveocracy-- aristo-
cratic Democracy-sell one hundred men.
women and children into slavery for failure
TO pay their taxes. This same Democracy
have just Is much right TO sell white men.
women and children for failing to pay taxes
rs they have to sell colored ones. Slavery is
made the penalty for non payment of taxes.
Non-payment Of taxes is just as criminal in
white men as in blacks, and the penalty
should therefore be the same and it would
be II the aristocrats Of the Old Dominion
dared sell poor white men. II is not sense
ofjustce; il is not recognition of the equal
rights OF man: it 10 not benevolence that pre-
vents the slave Democracy Of the Southern
States from selling fcc- ~~hh;;..c men oI IA ,.,
II i only the dread of public opinion and the
fear Of rebellion. They have no more regard
Tor poor whites than they have for free col
ofed men.

Editor OF the NebraSkian COWhided
by Woman.

We learn from the Omaha Times of
the 18th inst, that the editor of the Ne
braskian, THEODORE H. ROBERTSON,
Esq, was cowhided by lady of that city
on Saturday the 18th. We have not
learned the particulars, or who the lady
was. The following paragraph relative
to the matter we clip from the Times:
"The lady who played so prominent a
part. it is said, felt aggrieved at the at
tacks which have for some time past ap-
peared in the Nebraskian upon her hus-
band. She met the author of the attacks
on the steps of the Post Office, and, pull
ing from a place of concealment in her
dress cowhide, struck him across the
face, at the same time saying, You shan't
abuse my husband, or words to that eff
feet. From this time forward, as two of
the lady's friends, not being far off, ap-
peared, and one of them inlerfered inner
behalf, in the din and confusion of the
battle, much was lost by our reporter
The editor was seen to lay his hand upon
a revolver which he carried in his breast
pocket-fortunately it caught in the lining
of the pocket, and he only succeeded In
getting it released as bystander inter
fered. and took it from HIM by main
| force ("

Who should go to Pixies Peak.

The Leavenworth Ledger of the 18th
inst, says:
We often hear young man, who never
did any hard work in their lives, talk
obout going to Pixies Peak. We ask
such what kind Of work they think gold
digging is }? Let them turn out here and
get themselves into practice by digging
wells, cellars, coal, quarrying rock, maui
ing rails, and rolling saw logs, and eat dry
bread, and wash it down with water, and
sleep on the ground with fair weather
and foul, and then form an opinion about
the work of digging gold. Digging gold
is no child's play; and it is only the
strong, able bodied, hard-working men
that will suit for the business. The men
who succeeded at the mines in California
were strong of arm stout of heart, and
only such men can succeed at the. gold
mines. A bull has just as much business
in china shop as a glove-handed clerk
or far faced mechanic has at Pixies
Peak,

Next Delegate to Congress.

It is not, perhaps, too early to drop a
word in regard to Candidates for Dele
gate to Congress from Nebraska. There
is no doubt, figuring being done by the
various aspirants and their friends, and
why not let there be talking? We have
no names to suggest; know of no aspi-
rants in this immediate region. Our OBJ
ject in calling attention to the subject at
present is, that by early agitation some
definite issue may be reached and agreed
upon, that the result may be a reflection
I>Of the wishes of a majority of the citi-
zens of the Territory.
We are anxious that our Delegate may
not continually be encumbered with ga
contested seat" to which most of his eff
forts must necessarily be directed.
What~that issue shall be, political or
local, we are not particularly anxious !;
would prefer the former, however. We
are confident that genuine Democracy,
with sound leader, can carry the day in
Nebraska. We are equally sure, too,
that the triumph of Democratic principles
as set forth in the platform of the party,
will tend to advance the true interests
and prosperity Of our Territory, and fu-
ture. State. Sham Democracy, however,
will not do, here or elsewhere. Men
who sacrifice principle for policy cannot
lead the democracy to victory! The man
who succeeds as a Democrat must be clean
on that record so clean that no doubts
be: entertained. His assertions will not
dos his past conduct only will answer.
The man who has stood up for the princi-
pies of the Democratic party amid the
numbering anathemas hurled from the
Executive throne, is ga man for the
times" Those who have truckled, sue.

erwise; defeat, overwhelmingly, only
awaits such.
1t is all important to the people of Ne
braska that they start right in politica
matters, therefore we talk plain. While
we allow no man to advocate, in this lat
titude, free state principles more jealous
ly than we do-free state without Negro
equality, amalgamation or association

laid down in the platform of that party

CITY ELECTION.

III ELECIlONs
Our city election passed off quietly on
Monday last, there being no opposition
from any source except by those who
term themselves democrats.
Conventions, both in the city entire and
the several wards, had been regularly
held, and candidates nominated for a
full ticket.
Two individuals whose names were
submitted to the meeting of the first and
third wards, failed to receive the support
of their fellow-wardsmen for the office of
alderman; but deeming their strength
sufficient to be elected, they concluded to
have Their names presented to the voters
at the regular polls and try their chances
for success. But in this they were disap.
pointed, as is usually the case where IN
dividuals, on their own popularity, under
take to run against the regular nominees
of party properly and thoroughly or
ganized.
The regularly nominated democratic
ticket twas elected throughout, which
gives the city list of officers very well
qualified for their respective duties, and
it is to be hoped that the best interests Of
the city may be constantly kept in view
and large public Indebtedness avoided
