In another column viii be found tie
proceedings Of the D Democratic Cens4al
Committee which met at Omaha on DE
i4th. Last week We spoke pf The orgin-
zation Of the party, Std. To-day we ez-
tract from the Spirif Of TIE Vest upon the
same subject, Is expressive Of our own
views. In speaking Of the meeting Of
the committee. the Hest remarks:
Upon their action Will depend the
question as to the organization Of the
party in he Territory. Much Of its
future veal, or muck Of It's miscarriage
viii grow OUT 81 the action Of Tins Com
miuee. If they act hastily OF u~nadrisad-
ly. if they disregard tie lights of Demo-
cratic usage, and consult only The advance
ment Of this or that man, they win set
back the clock Of Democratic progress for
a long time.
We trust. that they viii bot forget The.
circumstance of thepariy in the Territory
and It's surroundings that they viii not
precipitaie, what is always proper in itself
Ia Democratic organization, bnt in every
step leading to it, recall the principle
which underlie our party-popular soye-
reignty-and let the masses determine not
only the platform upon which our iomi-
nees are to stand but who IRE ID be those
nominees
We are I'M favor Of the organization,
and have always been. Noparty, and DO
party principle can be carried ont without
Il. But, il mast be an organisation co1n-
seled By the masses and not By the few
an organization whose vital element is the
popular win. and not man iavoritim
And above alt an organization, based not
merely upon 8 crayingfor the "loaves end
fshes,' but upon the Cardinal essential
principles Of the party What matter 10
the future Of the party, who gets this
Office or that. So that The party itself be
d~emOraEzed A thousand times better
defeat, and the success of cur opponents
than victory upon false issues, and an anti
Democratic platform! Let us look then,
all the time, 10 the plank il our platform,
rather than TO the men who RAY stand
upon it. Gire us Democracy I'D its purity.
and the result be a secondary c0nsidera-
ion. If we start right, We may indeed
fail az first. bUt we wal reach The goal III
last. The "sober second ihoUght' win
succeed the fanaticism Of The hour and
hereafter and always save tie party and
the country as they have ALWAYS done.--

We learn from J. B. WEsroE. ESQ, of
Beatrice, that it was The intention of the
various tribes Of Indians al wal with the
Pawnees. to make a descent upon them On
Tuesday last. The Pawnees have been
troublesome to the whites, and the various
tribes Of Indians within their reach, for
sometime. Last week the Sioux, Chey-
ennes. ArappahOes, Kiowas, OsOes and
several other tribes. came Ia toward the
Pawnee Country. from different directions
intending to carral them Oh Tuesday last,
and wipe them out. # 8 meeting took
place, there was a bloody battle; tie
Pawnees are a brave set Of fellows, and
superior in a fight to any Of the ether
mentioned. It is said with equal
advantages, they generally succeed with
a difference Of two to one against them.
They will not surrender While there is a
man Of them left. IA few weeks ago, We
are informed, sixteen Pawnees were at
tackled by eighty Sioux, and stood their
ground until every Pawnee was killed.

A Congressional Code,-.Is There
Nothing Betteri

May not the propriety Of pressing the question
of Il Slave Codc for tho Territories be doubted
Is it likely that tho measure would succeed! And
if it did not, is it probable that tho South would
unite in disunion on account of that non-success
would there not at oncc spring up largo party
amongst US who would say that this demand for
slave code WAS piece of supercrogation in view
of the protection and security VIC Gun already lay
claim to, under the Constitution and tho Laws US
they now stand interpreted by the supreme Court? !?
Would not this division terminate in non-action
by tho South? And i, such result to be desired !?
Can we not do bctter than this2 Without the
demonstration of slave code, cannot our mem
bers of Congress unite in bringing on m issue
Legislature? Gun they not make the movo to
annull her Territorial organization and compel
(by force of arms if need hoy her suhscrvicncy to
constitutional requirements? Would not this be
an issue upon which the South would unite Us one
man? Would not such precedent (if carried
out) be of much effect for good, in establishing
our rights for tho future, as q slave code? Would
it not command the sanction of all Constitutional
lists, North as we'll as South? And finally, would
it not create test Of principle upon which rally
could be made in the coming Presidential canvass
with prospects of success to the party of justice
und right? Or, failing in this, would it not pro-
sent propitious occasion for dissolution of tho
present Confedsracy?
