were passed endorsing the Baltimore aud
Charlt ston platform, recommending the
same for adoption by the Democracy OF
Connecticut aud recognizing Douglas aud
johnson as the regularly nominated can

of the resolutions I%nstructing the Dele
gates or Electors to vote for some other
candidate than Douglas liz order TO defeat
L ncoln but this was rejected, yeas I52,

PENNSYLVANIA Politics.

A Philadelphia correspondent Of the N.
Y. World gives apparently an Impair
tial review Of the political parties Of thai
State:
Douglas meetings are rare, for there is
no heart to GO into this contest, and every
gathering only tends TO widen the Breach
made at Baltimore. Eminent Douglas
men in this City, recognizing the idea
that Pennsylvania will decide the contest
aud prompted by a cordial hatred of the
administrator party, boldly ar0w their IN
fenfion TO U3fe for Lincoln, rather than to
suffer the election to be thrown into The
House, and thus secure The election of
Gen. Joe Lane. Hickmau has boldly.
gone over to the Republican ranks; For.
ney, some believe, will follow: and !, i
pretty well established that Gen. Foster
the Democratic candidate for Governor
OF the State, is DESTROYS of Withdrawing

Hon. S. G Daily in BrOWnTlHe.

uUMS y u DOIAy An OUhblA
On Friday evening last. Hon. S. q.
DAILY addressed a large and attentive
gathering of the people Of this place
and vicinity. We are pleased to say that
the good order, decorum and attention for
which our citizens are characteristic, pre-
vailed.
His presence in the city was heralded
by the firing of cannon, illumination and
martial music.
Mr.. Daily clearly, boldly and manful-
ly discussed the points at issue in this ter
ritory, showing himself the friend of the
people aud all the improvements they de-
sire for the future benefit of the Terri
tory. He, as we had before said, and
thought he would Go, denounced the Ne
5raskian's bogus Craig Letter." where
in it referred to the "iufux of Irish emf
grafton" as an unqualified falsehOOd.
Knowing. as we did that Mr.. Daily
was himself of Irish desc Mt, we were
quite sure he could never so di>parage
his own race, as to speak of them In the
terms shown in the aforesaid letter. His
effort here was a complete success.
On the Saturday evening following,
he addressed the citizens of Nemaha
City, in this County, where like enthu
siasm prevailed.
Set Daily down for an increased major
ity in this county.

Won't Face the MnSIc.

We predict tina: Morton will not can
vass the Territory with Daily, or, If he
does consent to do so, he will not discuss
The true issues existing in Nebraska pol
itics. His warfare will be of a gurrilla
nature, as evidenced by the little ire
sponsible circular already in circulation.
Such species of fighting is his peculiar
forte, and at which we frankly acknowl-
edge he is a whole team" So we
caution the people to keep constantly on

FOR DELEGATE TO CONGRESS-
SAM UEL G.. DAILY
OF NEMAHA COUNTY.
The Way the Money Goes.

Mr.. Morton being a candidate before
the people, and his friends claiming for
him ''o6iciaI experience" we propose, from
time to time, during the campaign, to ex-
amino his "public record" His psblic
and Official conduct, like that of every
other public man, must be open for public
examination and scrutiny. In our course
in this matter we shall confne ourself
strictly to the question before the House"
We hold the private character of every
man to be exclusively and saCredly his
own, with which no other, in political
affairs, has a right to NEEDLE, except,
p rhaPs, in retaliaIive defence.
We shall FIRST speak of j.. Sterling
Morton in his connection with the Public
Printing matter of this Territory.
Up TO the Session Of our Legislature Of
1883, Mr.. Merton, both in a LegisIa-
tive capacity aud as Editor, had been a
zealous advocate for the right Of the
Legislature TO select Its own Public Print
er, and which it had always before done.
Secretary Cunning, it is true, once at
tempted to usurp control; but was over
ruled. No one denounced Mr.. Cunning
louder and more bitterly than did this
same J. Sterling Morton, who was then
both a member of the lower House of our
Legislature and Editor of the Nebraska
City News. AT the Session of 1858 Mr..
Morton holding, as he now does, The Office
of Secretary of the Territory at the hands
of James Buchanan, claimed the right,
by virtue of his Office, TO control the
Public Printing. The Legislature as usual
elected IT'S printer, to whom Mr.. Morton
refused to deliver the laws and journals
ordered by the Legislature to be printed.
He gave, as a reason, that be would
let ost fhe printing-t-at bis object was
TO economist the public funds, sc. To
printers in this Territory he never offered
az opportunity of putting in a bid, but
took the printing himself and had it exc
cuted in New York, where it could have
been done, and undoubtedly t0aS done, at
very low figures But, then, did tie peo-
pie of this Territory gain anything by
This species Of e~conomizing? Verify, no.
Morton charged and received from the
general government the highest rates
known, amounting, in all, for the Session
.of 1855, TO- the enormou sum of ssven
fhvsand three hundred and f6rty-Sir dol
lars and forty,hine cents.
The following figures are not Irumped
up from hearsay, as n might be able to
catch them but are obtained from the
papers on file in the proper Department
at Washington, over the certificate and
official seal of ~. Sterling Morton, Sec
relary Of Nebraska" We itemiLe as
they appear on the Books. Look al them.

From the above, it will be seen that
Thos. Morton, who it IS said was the
Morton known as Public Printer, received
the large sum of $50 90 cot of the
s7346 40. But Of this we care nothing,
and propose to say nothing further. But
our point is this, that while ]. Sterling
Morton, Mr.. Buchanan's Secretary, was
pretending to ecoBomize the government
funds. there went into his pocket not less
than four thousand dollars clear profit !
And we undertake to say, a a practical
printer, that the work which cost the
Territory 81 1916 40 could have been
done. an Mis Territory, for $4,000 90,
and the printer have cleared the handsome
profit Of not less than $1,000 90: and
thvs, too, have been a saving, TO the Peo-
pie Of Nebraska, of the snug little sum
Of S3,346 40. This we submit to the
voters OF Nebraska as a sample of the
economy and official e-Periencs'' of ].

votes, of the people IF this Territory TO
