NOMINATION..

disturbed by some interference and up
setting of their insecure place Of refuge,
showing them considerably bewildered and
apparently in active commotion and at a
great loss to know what may be the con-
sequence of so unwelcome a visitation
among them. They act and intermingle
as if some extraordinary event had hap
pened, threatening to them danger and
obstruction, from which they have no shell
ter Of safety, and appear always ready
secretly to take refuge for security in any
~rottenness that may be the most ccnven-
lent.
The opposition had set their minds on
principles, and were greatly in hopes that
by some Encouragement Of our party
they would be better enabled to accom-
plish their design of stealing u thunder,
but having been overwhelmingly defeated
in reference to that matter, they assert
that ''we have stolen their platform, have
procured their sign and now we might as
well take their stock" /, for one. am
perfectly willing to take that which Is
sound and uninjured, but deem it unproft-
able to receive all such refused stock as
maybe colored and worthles8 remnants.
NOMINEES
During the day, on Friday, it was IN
derstood that Gen. EstabroOk, the regular
nominee of the Plattsmouth Democratic
Convention, would arrive on the steamer
Campbell, in company with many Of his
friends.
All were on the alert to give the Gen
a hearty reception. The gun squad were
OF hand, presenting the appearance in
number of a small army endeavoring to
extricate themselves from difficulties en-
countered whilst crossing some trouble
some stream, or a foot charge upon the
enemy. The old gun was charged, and
belched forth in mighty power and rapid
succession, the welcome home, of the great
standard bearer of a strong and united
Democracy. Then came the German
Brass Band, the fast friends Of our worthy
leader, and showed by their animated and
cheering musical airs their due apprecia-
ton Of the worth and political Importance
Of the Democratic Nominee.
The steamer passed in the midst Of
this rejoicing, and mooring herself at the
landing discharged the welcome passenger
among friends with open hands to receive
and cheer him on to victory and honor by
their ~countenance, gratitude and congrat-
ulations-
He was again met at his own thresh-
hold by numerous, fast and tried political
friends, who were determined to meet and
give him their encouragement and as
surance Of his entire safety from the
hands of the enemy and the s~teadfastness
Of the Democracy in his behalf. The
best of feeling prevailed among the
Democracy as they met him singly and
by advancing crowds, showing their due
appreciation Of his high position and char
acter. But this was not all, the rushing
multitude were witnessed rapidly vending
their way towards the HernIon, but being
disappointed at not finding the object Of
their call at the House, a party of friends
waited upon the Gen. and brought him
from his home and family to mingle with
the animated crowd. He showed his
sincere and due appreciation of their ex-
u~ltation and rejoicing at the prospects of
the Democratic victory before them, and
the prospective good result of the first
political campaign of Nebraska.
THE RESPONSES.
The impatient multitude assembled at
the Herndon could no longer resist their
feelings. They were DESTROYS to witness
the General upon the rostrum, and conse-
quently about twelve o'clock at night the
united shout went up for Estabrook; who
appeared upon the veranda in front of the
Hotel and very satisfactorily reconciled
the masses by a very timely and appro-
pirate speech for that occasion which was
answered with repeated applause by the
congregated masses surrounding him
below.
DR.. Miller was then called to the stand;
who responded in a very happy manner,
and e~ndeavoring to explain and reconcile
all past differences which had arisen during
his effort to procure the nomination from
the party.
All was apparently harmonious and
satisfactory to the assembled company,
who retired with the best of feelings to-
wards the speakers and each other, with
a general disposition to pitch in to the
harvest of the fight, and give battle to
the Congressional interferers with our
rights.
