Territorial Fair,

The Omaha Republican takes occasion
to censure the Territorial Board Of Agri-
culture, BECAUSE Of a sin of omission in
failing to provide for premiums, 1t
thinks, of importance-and really are
but more particularly because Of a sin Of
commission, in providing literally forth h
Ladies' Riding Match. True, Mr.. Rep
ublicaa, "all cannot be expected at once;''
and don't you think, too, that a modest
LADY, could appear to as modest an adj
vantage on a fine charger, handsomely
caparisoned, sin the ring" at an Agri-
cultural Fair, as in the act Of administer
ing corporeal punishment to some poor
devil of an editor, upon the public streets
at the. capital?
Seriously: Although the Ladies Rid
ing Match always brings more money
into the, Society's Treasury than all other
resources combined, and thus enables the
agricultural interests to be better
''pashed with ZEAL" the money with
which to purchase equestrian premiums
is mostly raised by private subscriptions.
Such is the intention at the coming Fair /;
and we have faith. to believe that Neb-
raska hberality will not be behind in this
respect:
The Board have done the best they
could for the coming Fair, and, as an
bounced in the Rules and Regulations. if
anything has been omitted in the list of
premiums, ample provisions have been
made for all worthy articles or objects, in
the appointment of a Discretionary Com
mittee." whose special duty it will be 10
look after such as the Republican is dis
posed to complain of.
We hope there viii be no complaining
from any quarter. Let there be unity Of
feeling and action /; a determination to
make the best of the coming Fair, and
improve on 1t at the next. Nebraska's
future depends upon her agricultural pro-
gress and development. Nature has been
lavish in her provisions in this respect,
and no stumbling blocks should be thrown
in the way of her Advancement.
Since the above was written, we have
read an article in the N~ebruSkian, over the
signature "C~incinnatus,' complaining
and.very properly too if there were no
mistake-of IS being offered as premium
each for egg-Plants, potatoes, peppers,
squashes, and lima beans. The So in the
five articles mentioned is an error it
should have been 81, as other articles of
this kind in the same list; it tCds 81 in
copy" and how such a glarlng error es-

ResoIced, That we assert the doctrine Of non-in-
tervention by congress in reference either to States
or Territories. as the only ground upon which a ma
tiOnal partyc can be maintained in these confederate
States.
ResoEUed, That the organized territories of the
United States are only held in territorial condition
until they attain a sufficient number of inhabitants
to authorize their admission into the Union as
States, and are justly entitled to self-government
and the undisturbed regulation Of their own domes-
tic or local affairs, including the slavery question:
and that the legislative power of the territories ex-
tends Undeniably to all rightful subjects of lcgisla-
ton, the same as in the States.
RESOLVED, That Congress has no power to establish,
abolish, regulate, or protect slavery in the terrific
ries, that being purely a domestic question. and it
manner or for any purpose other than for the States
on similar subjects.
Resolved, That the territorial legislatures nav
establish, regulate, and protect, or they may abolish
or exclude slavery, and should consider it in q SINH
lar manner with all other kinds of property.
Resolved, That We hold to the doctrine that the
Constitution Of the q. States neither establishes
nor prohibits slavery in the territories, beyond the
power Of the people legally to control it ns property.
RESOLVED, That we are unconditionally opposed to
the r~eOpening ofthe African slaye-trade, and believe
its revival would not only renew these ~cruelties
which once provoked the Indignation of the civilized
world, but would entail a foul blot on our c%ountry's
fair escutcheon.
ResoIUed, That, with the founders Of the republic,
we believe that governments derive their Just DOW
ers from the consent of the governed, and that tits
proper that the people of an organized territory
should be permitted to elect their own officers, and
to enact their own laws, free from Congressional
and Executive control.
Resolved, That territorial legislatures should call
Conventions for the purpose Of forming Constitu-
tiOns for State governments, which Constitutions
should be submitted to the people for ratification or
rejection; and if ratified by a majority of the legal
voters of the proposed State, but not otherwise,
may be,sent to Congress in the form Of an applica-
ton for admission into the Union, on an equalfoOt-
ing with the other States, with such boundaries 0s
Congress shall prescribe; and we deny the right. and
will condemn the attempt, of any Convention call
ed for the purpose of framing a Constitution, to i'm
pose the instrument formed by them upon the peo-
pie, against their known will.
Resol0ed, That the people may delegate power to
a Convention to frame a Constitution and put it in
force without submission, but such delegation must
be clear and indisputable; implication will not do,
The true doctrine is that all powers not expressly
delegated, are reserved to the people.

reader, however, must have known there

INDUCED in quite a "set to" on the 23rd

Jefferson in presenting, and we in

YES to the charge Of an attempt to "fore-
STALL" Weknow not what "Jefferson's'

the above, mainly, is correct; perhaps il
the whole is as near right as a platform

Convention adopt this, or n e~mbodying

POLITICAL.

The question of the election of Dele
gate to Congress is now waxing warm
among our citizens, and more especially
within a few days past. Heretofore they
have endeavored apparently TO keep
themselves aloof from the e~xcitements
attendant upon such times, but the spell
has been broken, and a general impress
sion appears to be finding vent in the
choice of democratic candidates.
Gen. Estabrook and DIR. Miller are the
most prominent, and indeed l might say
the only gentlemen who appear to have
the least encouragement among u citi-
e
Others are occasionally spoken of, but
do not enter into the canvass as seeking
success and victory by being selected by
this people as the standard bearer of the
party, for the mex political campaign in
October next.
The trial of strength is undoubtedly
between the two individuals before spok-
en- of, one of which will be chosen on Sat-
urday next as the representative from this
county, to appear before the next Terri
torial Convention, to be held at Platts-
mouth, to meet his a~ntagOniStiCal political
friend, in fierce but amicable combat for
a victorious nomination.
THE REPUBLICANS.
The Republican party appears some
what in a quandary as to the proper
course to pursue to insure success in the
next campaign for the offices of this Ter
ritory.
Some are DESTROYS of running a full
blooded Republican, whilst others are in
favor of putting IN the course a mixed
blood, under the new appellation of the
Opposition.
General Tbayer is their most promi
nent candidate here, whilst they have
their minds turned towards Judge Bennet
of Nebraska City, and one of your Ne.
maha constituency Mr.. Daily of Peru.
Some of that party think they can catch
the more snaps under the appellation Of
Opposition than under their true party
name, and therefore be more likely tc
insure success against the Democracy
whilst others conclude there is more man.

chosen banner, for principle, with proba.

A NEW FORT.

A company Of the army should be sta
toned somewhere in the vicinity of the
residence of those Indians, to keep a
close lookout after those who were so dis
posed to pilfer and murder; and in every
instance where they attempted to commit
such uncalled for depredations, they
shouldbe followed and moved down like
grass. There is little confidence to be
placed in their promises and treaties, and
the only wayis to whip them into a lasting
submission and by getting them under

of the respective opponents. The cleo
ton was energetically contested by the
respective parties, and amicably decided
by the choice of nine Miller delegates.
Such family contests in the democratic
ranks l always regret to see, much less
be urged to participate in them, being
thereby compelled by so doing to dispar-
age friends Of long acquaintance and mt
macy. But so moves the political world
at times, and we can do no other way
than to pleasantly submit, and endeavor
to be content with whatever decisions may
be rendered by the people.
Although DR.. Miller succeeded to-day
in gathering the most voters in their Pri-
mary election capacity for his support, 1t
will nevertheless probably not be denied
that the forces of both gentlemen are
very nearly equal throughout the county.
They will both appear before the Platts-
mouth Convention, and ask the nomina-
ton from the collected delegation there
assembled each equally confirmed, appa-
rently5 that he he's a sufficient number Of
friends, ana ample support throughout the
Territory, to elevate him to the honorable
position of candidate for Congress.
Let the proper groundwork of the
democracybe established by that Conven-
ton, then whoever may be the choice of
the collected wisdom in that Convention,
will certainly be elected by the people.
The greatest fears l entertain in ref
erence to the action of that Convention,
are that they may not meet the wants and
expectations of the democracy in plainly
setting forth the principles of the party,
so hat there can be no possible equivoca-
ton or misunderstanding of our position,
on all the prominent questions now being
c~anvassed throughout the c~onfederaCy by
the democracy and the people at large.
Let us know upon what the parties
mainly differ, and the sentiments of each,
and then all will be enabled intelligently
to advocate and uphold what he knows po-
silively to be the opinions Of the party,
without fear of successful contradiction.
RANKIN DELEGATION.
At the same time we were trying the
strength and popularity Of our respective
candidates in Omaha, the good people of
Sarpy county were endeavoring to make
a choice between DR.. Rankin and Judge
Ferguson.
DR.. Rankin succeeded in the selection
of four delegates favorably disposed to-
wards him for Congress, by a majority of
81 votes out of about IT'S cast at the con-
vention.
Miller, Estabrook, Rankin, Kinney,
and C. B. Smith, are all talked of as can
didates who will probably receive sup
port at Plattsmouth.
R-EPUBLIoANs
We have before US here, asking the
suffrages of the dear people, or at least
looking forward to a nomination by the
Republican Convention, John Sahler of
Omaha, and Taffe of Omadi, in the north
ern portion Of the Territory, besides
those whom | mentioned last week. From
this it appears that the Republicans are
not any more united and harmonious than
our W party. We saw proper to select
between two, but when the enemy is to
be met, tlere is but little possible chance
for a division in our ranks, for all are
ready to say they are for the regular
nominee. CAPITOLIUM.
