Letter from Hon. N. q. Wyatt.

The Harrison County Flag contains a let.
terfrom this gentleman dated at Plum Creek
Station, 80 miles westof Fort kearney, from
which we make the following extracts:
1--WE are meeting men daily who are re.
turning from the mines; AID many of
them are very much discouraged, speak
unfayorably Of the prospects Of things in
the mines and do not intend to RETURN
Some, however, say they intend to return
in the spring and try their luck again
From the great number now returning
you will, no doubt. see some soon in yoa
m d I and you can then better post "
Yourself and readers in regard to the
chances for fortune in the mines next
summer. | am fearful that the excitement
along the Missouri River in Iowa is at
least onc hundred per cent, greater with
ref renee to the richness of the mines than
the actual facts will justify aud men who
have to make much sacrifice in order to
get to the mines, with present reports,
should act with caution and look twice be .
fore they leap. Young men, who have
nothing to lose, need not, Of course, be so
cautious; as the lesson mag pay them well
for the time they viii spend. Our party
are al in good spirits and determined to
20 through aud see .oc themselves, and if
possible, bring back enough to show that
they have been to the mines. We have
not, as yet, seen deer, elk, antelope or
buffalo, and am very doubtful if We
shall, as those returning say we are nov
passing through the best game part Of the
road. 1t has been, therefore, very fortu
nate with Us that we took the prcclution
to take 4 small supply of" grub with US;
and should advise all others to do like
wise. shall probaly write to you again
from the crossing of the Platte if not,

Organize! Organize!

We desire to appeal to our Democratic
friends in every election district to be mp
and doing in order that a thorough organ.
izstion Of the party may be effected AT the
approaching election. Tho Democratic
party of Iowa has great work to accom-
rlish in the reformation Of the abuses our
State has been objected 70 under Rcpub-
licaU rule, and the consciousness If this
necessity should nerve every individual
member to do his utmost to secure the
ascendancy of his party. To accomplish
this, wellregulated and efficient organiza-
ton in every town must be instituted, for
the purpose Of securing a thorough canvas
Of the principles of the different parties by
public speeches, distribution of documents,
&c, and on election day TO see that cverT
Democratic vote is po'led. We are thor
oughlv convinced of the actual necessity
Of Democratic organization in every
precinct-no matter how small the mum,
Der of voters-in order to secure and main
tain the ascendancy Of our principles. I,
was the efficacy Of township organization
that secured Pennsylvania to the Democ-
rscy in l856-withoat which we would
have been hope'essly defeated. It was H.
the most rigid discipline and un.iring ef.
forts that favorable issue was obtained.
The name Of every Democratic voter was
enrolled, and on election day no vigilance
was relaxed until every voter had deposi-
ted his ballot. 1t was thus that the Octo.
Der election was made to result in q Dem
ocratic victory, thereby deciding the No
vember contest in Indiana and Illinois.
There is little doubt b1t that the popu
lar vote Of Iowa is Democratic and all
that is needed to demonstrate its sunre-
macy is organization. This is the shibo-
leth 10 victorv-and the man who rretenls
to be a Democrat, yet scouts at the neces.
city Of forming clubs in every precinct,
and adhering to the principles and can
dldates Of the party ia every contest, no
matter how unimportant seemingly, is Of
more injury to the party than an open and
avowed enemy. ard the sooner he takes
position openly in the ranks Of the enemy
the better it will be for the party he has
deserted. The man who does no, adhere
to his party Obligations in the election Of
township and city officers, can not be re.
lied upon in more important contests
These are facts that cannot be gainsnvea.
Local prejudices and individual prefer.
ences must be lost sight Of when the vel
fare Of the party can be enhanced thereby.
Let the contest, il there must be one be
tween individuals, be previous 10 the moan
inations, but when he choice of the con
vention is announced all should and all
good Democrats will, join in noble strife
to see who can DO most to secure the sue
cess Of the principles and standard bearers
Of their party. Let this principle govern
the action of Democrats on Monday next.
and the foundation will be laid for rlo
rious Democratic victory in October.

Democratic city Convention.

We again call attention to the Demo.
cratic Convention which is to meet in Cas-.
ady's Hall, on Saturday next, at o'clock.
p. N. The necessity for strict organic
cation Of the party is imperative. and all
who desire to see Democratic principles
triumph shouN lay aside all personal jeal
ousies and tactious feelings, and do wha,
they can to unite aud strengthen the party.
Good and competent men should be Mons
mated for the several Offices, and series
of plain, unequivocal resolutions adopted
defining the position Of the Democracy Of
Sioux City both politically and with refer
ence TO the condition of the City affairs.
As we have heretofore said, no Democra.
can justify himself for acting with the op
position in the coming spring election
There are as good men in the Democratic
party who will as ably aud economically
administer the city government, as can be
found in the Republican ranks; and no
sufficient reason can be assigned why they
should not be supported by the full strength
of the party. Yet we are assured that
many of those claiming to be Democrats
who acted with the Republican party last
fall, have avowed their intention of boiling
again this spring. In fact some of them
have already taken open position with the
opposition, and one, J. W. BosLER, acted
as chairman Of the Citizens" Conyen
ton. These fair.weather Democrats may
succeed in defeating the Democratic tick ct;
but the fear of this result will deter no
good Democrat from doing his duty to the
party. Let there be fall turnout to the
Convention on Saturday; put a straight
out ticket in nomination, and then if de,
feated at the polls we will have the salts
faction of knowing that the Democratic
flag is unsullied by contact with Republi-
carisu,

The latest reports from the gold mines
are rather unfavorabl2, and will undoubt
edly deter many who have been afflicted
with the fever from going. We are in
formed that large numbers of gold hunters
who have arrived at Nebraska Citg, and
other river towns south Of US, are discour-
aged by the gloomy accounts recently re.
ceived from tie reported gold fields, and
determined to go TO further until i. is re-
iuced to a certainty that the Nebraska
and Kansas gold mines are not humbug.
To those who have abandoned the idea OF
going to Cherry creek, it will be grateful
to know that the treaty recently ratified

Northwest, where all, by industry and
economy can achieve more uniform wealth
than in the sepu,ed GOLD mines.
