The Ora aha.

The arrival of the first boat of the sea-
son is happy episode in the history OF
upper Missouri towns. All await it with
restless anxiesy--all enjoy tall remem-
Der il. Especially is this true of the com.
Jog ofthe Omaha, last Friday. The intel.
ligence that the above boat was en- route
for Sioux City infused new life and hope
into our citizens. Every one had some
want to be provided for. The Epicurian
yearned for his coffee the Pythagorean
for his beans-thc Hippocratian for his
drugs. One would give corner-lot for a
new hat; another would pledge his in
come for some long coveted luxury; and
a third pinned for passage to the Gland of
his fathers and the home of his love-
Like breaking morn these sons of want
stood "tip-toe on the misty mountain top
eagerly gazing, watching for the anticipa,
ted relief. 4 shout Of welcome arose, as
the steamer hove in sight. Then there
was rushing to and fro.' The magazine
was riHed Gifts only pound of powder treas
ured up for the occasion. The big GIN,
whose deep tones make the surrounding
prairie grass tremble, was drawn to the
landing, with great precipitation. After a
hasty salute one gunner was minus NOUS
tacha; and another wore the visage Of one
who had faced the enemy's cannon. Now
there was joy in that crowd for they snuff
ed from afar the scent Of "pigtail, and
'honey.dew," and Virginia CUT Great
was the flow Of saliva and great the clam
or for tobacco. No sooner was the landing
concluded than each appropriated NOR
sci Of the weed and Orchard was bimself
again. then began the chink of dimes
and the flow Of ale. And there was the
voice OF mirth and the cry Of "treat." 1t
was gala.day for our citizens whose en-
joyment was increased not little by the
kindness and urbanity of Capt. WIsELASD
and j. J. WILCOX, Esq. Clerk.
The Omaha brought about 100 tons Of
freight for this place and took away quite
a large amount of corn and potatoes, the
first produce we have ever shipped down
the river. May this evidence Of prospect
ty rapidly increase.

An Opinion of sioux city.

The following truthful allusion to Sioux
City we clip from an able article in late
number Of the Dubuque cypress d Her.
aid.
Sioux City, at the point where the d.
d.. T. X. r. touches the Missouri. we re-
gard as destined to become the largest
city on the Missouri Situated at the
mouth Of the Big Sioux River and the
junction Of the valley Of that stream with
the valley of the Missouri at the point
where the Central Pacific Railroad will
cross that river, it must become tie entire.
pot of the trade, as we'll as the market of
Northern Nebraska including the Black
Hill country and all the region drained by
the Yellow Stone as we'll as the whole of
Dacotah Territory. It's site possesses those
commanding advantages and holds those
commanding relations to the surrounding
country, which mark out for il first class
position among western cities.

Woodbury. County triumphant.

We have Just learned that the Upper 10
wa Conference of the NJ. E. Church through
their lawful agents appointed at the last
annual Conference, have been receiving
propos itions for the location and erection
Of a Literary College at some point on the
Missouri Slope. The citizens from mum.
Der of towns in different counties appoint.
ed delegates to wait upon the conference
agents and represent their various inter-
ests and urge their claims
While SO many contending parties were
in the field and SO much interest was man
ifested by all, it was difficult task for the
agents under instructions from the Con-
ference to dispose Of the matter. II was
therefore agreed by the different conten-
ding parties that the conference agents
should appoint board Of referees, who
should visit the most favorable points, and
take into consideration the geographical
and other natural advantages the amount
and kind Of donations offered; the future
support Of the institutions; together with in.
terest Of the church, and from the evidences
given, to locate the College, and that deci
sion should be fiual. The referees appointed
visited different towns on the Missouri, on
the 2sth, 10Th, Goth and 3lst of March, ult.,
and after comparing notes, it was found
that the advantages and the amount of
available means offered by citizens Of
Woodbury. Count y greatly exceeded any
other proposition, consequently the Coll
ege was permanently located at Sergeant's
Bluff in this county.
We are glad to see so much enterprise
manifested by our Methodist friends of
northwestern Iowa; and from the spirit
heretofore displayed by this church in the
cause Of education we may look forward
to a day not far distant when there will be
Literary Institution at Seregants Bluff
that will reflect honor on its founders and
be credit to the State.
We can say to those wishing to locate
in the west--Come to Woodbury. county,
where in q short time your children will
have all the advantages of a liberal educa-
ton, possessed by others in older settled
communities.

The "coming Man Arriv q 1t L.ss

The enlogies bestowed by the Republi-
can press upon thenew Senator, Ten Eyck,
are amusing specimens Of the science Of
of puffery. One paper informs US that his
father married into the Conoyers, the
proudest of which marriage was John c.,
upon whose birth undoubtedly the stars
shone auspiciously. That about the stars
is our own, pursued a fine course of stu
dies and was admitted to the bar when
only Il years of age. Just think of that.
Another Journal says that Mr.. Ten Eyck
twas a member of the New Jersey State
Constitutional Convention at the early age
of 81 y 1t is really too bad to develope
youthful genius at SO tender an age. But
the crowning glory of our new Senator
lies in the rare com bination of bis politi
cal principles, as described by one of his
ardent friends:
sin political sentiments he is Repub.
lean, bu. of the Old Wing school, always
devoted friend OF Henry Clay, and an
admirer of the doctrines of Webster, and
his vote in the Senate, will no doubt give
expression to the tenets which those great
leaders advocated,-the maintenance of
the Union at all hazard, non interference
with State Institutions, discriminating
and protective tariff, economy in public
expenditures, and return to the principles
OF honesty in pnblic affairs, which charac.
terized the early years of the republic"
After this description, who will doubt
the soundness Of Senator Ten Eyck?
p. S.-What is fame? We observe
that one of our Eastern exchanges says
that Mr.. Ten Stryke, leading statesman,
has been elected Senator from New Jer
sey.-Ne,cork Journal.

frmed the evidence already before the
public Of their determined hostility to the
best interests Of the Democratic party.
3. For the reason that the incendiary
resolutions introduced by J W. Bosler and
j. T. Cop'an, and adopted by the votes of
their coadjutors are VIGOROUSLY diame;ri-
cally opposed to the sentiments of the De.
mocracy Of Sioux City as evidenced by the
united action ofevery convention ever held
in the city or county, indicating upon the
part Of The y Boilers who controlled the
meeting spirit Of envy and malice at

tructive Of the best interests Of the Demo.
cratic party.
And, finally, while we deem it proper
thus to place ourselves right on the record
in order that the Boilers aforesaid may
have no excuse or rretext TO charge us
with an offence Of which they stand self
convicted, We declare our determination in
| good faith to snppor. the nominees which
they have forced upou us, relying upon fu.
toro action to wipe cut the fragrant wrong
which spirit OF hawkes. action has perpo-
trated upon the Democratic party Of Sioux

The Pcnnsyiyania Democracy.


The OPPOSITION press are glorying over
The result Of the late Harrisburg conven-
ton. They are entitled to all the consola
ton it affords them. From the proceed
ings Of that convention we see no great
cause for alarm. Resolutions endorsing
the administration, and supporting leading
Democratic measures, were passed BY a
large majority. To this the Democracy
Of other States will cordially respond. A
few disafectants, headed by FossEY, HIoK.
NAN Il Co., because they could not con-
troll the action of that convention, con-
ceived the rery patriotic idea of defeating
its nominees. Probably they will succeed
in their attempt. 1t matters but little at
this time whether they do or not. The
Democracy can learn from il an invaluable
lesson for the future--to put no confidence
in and give no countenauce to men who,
taking part in regular convention, will
not abide by its action, unless they can
dictate to suit private ends and ambitious
motives. True principle has but little pa-
rifying or invigorating influence with those
who can abandon an organization with
which they differ upon but solitary ques
ton, and give succor and power to anoth.
er for which they profess enmity and abb
horrence. The controversy of two years
ago has been determined. Conventions
expressed themselves for or against it,
There the whole matter should rest But
it seems to take a long time for human
malice to vent itself. The old venom
still poisons the peace OF a few disorgan
izers who aggrieved because they find no
subsequent act in the straight forward
course of the administration to dissent
from, return to their wallowing. Their
real position can not be defined too early.
They may immediate themselves if they will,
but their followers will not train long BE-
fore discovering the false colors and coun.
terfeit music of their leaders, and will
turn with increased devotion and zeal to
the true principles of the party.
