i9i U .lab prrrspUfoH, Aug. 28th, 1860.
DEAR SIR AIhave just received your letter of the
nth inst, Informing me thatJ. Sterling Morton is the
Democratic. nominee for Delegate to Congress. In an
swer permit me to say that I feel now, as I have felt
for the last eighteen months, that he is unworthy the
coincidence of the people and especially Of the Democrat
ic marty. 1. therefore, as a Democrat from principle,
and baving6 abe cause of Democracy at heart, and beIiev-
in that it would be degrading those time -hOnored priu-
eiples TO elect a man so void Of principle, shall take
great pleasure in using whatever influence I may pos
sess for his defeat. You may, therefore, make arrang-
ment for me to work, in any manner bought best for
the accomplishment Of this end from the 25th Of Sep
TENDER up TO the day Of the election in the evening.
I regret that l cannot return sooner bat circumstan-
ces over which 1 have no control compel me to be ab.
sent up to that time. mot only wish, but ardentIy de-
sire that you may SO arrange it so that I can be heard
should my life and health be spared every day from the
day Of September until election.
1 am now Just starting for Baltimore, and have not
time to write further. If anything should happen that
cannot return at the time above indicated, I will send
you a manuscript for publication, giving my reasons why
he should not be elected to the responsible position he
aspires.
Please let me hear from you Immediately, at BaIti
more, as 1 will be there until the 18th of September,
and then leave for Nashville, where 1 will stay three
days, and then get home as quick as possible.
Your Ob't Servant,
WILLIAM L. BOYDSTON.

The Nebraska City Ners says we back
down from charges of frauds in Buffalo
county last year, We have done no such
thing. We said W e,made no charges pri-
vstely or publicly against any %indiUidual.
: We have however said, and We yet
say there IS no doubt about there being
frauds committed in that county in favor
of General Eastabrookand against Mr..
Daily. The fact Of two or three hundred
votes in one precinct all being cast for
any one man, ought Of itself to convince
any sane man that frauds had been com.
United The evidence before the CON-
mittes in Congress was so conclusive that
even Southern Democrats reported in ia

Negro EouaIlty.

The supporters Of Morton are busily
engaged-in private, on the stump, and
through their "only two papers in Ne
braska"-asserting that his opponents are
negro equality men, abolitionists, under
ground railroad men, sc. No one, latter
ly, has been mere earnestly engaged in
disseminating these false reports than
Reynolds, of the Nebraska City Meas.
He is a beautiful specimen of consistency
Last winter, this same Reynolds-who
was then, and is yet the Editor of Nor
toms paper, the Nebraska City Ners-
was a member of the lower branch of the
Nebraska Legislature and while the
bill to prohibit slavery was under consid-
Grafton, he offered the following. as an
amendment thereto. See page I0l House
Journal, 1859:
NJ Reynolds Of OtOe, moved to amend as fol-
lows:
"SEC. 2. Any black or mulatto person. or Indian,
or any person Of NegTO or Indian blood, shall be per-
mitted to give evidence in favor or against any white
person whatsoever: and his or her testimony shall be
entitled to thesame weightand credit in the courts
Of this Territory as that Of any white person"
Does it not sound well and is it not
beautiful consistency in this man Reynolds
to now call Morton's opponents woody
heads" ''abolitionits," and charge them
with being negro equality men :" How
some men can act the hypocrite F; be on
this side to-day and that side tomorrow.
There is a certain Morton man, not an
hundred miles from BrownvilIe, who is
making himself very conspicuous telling
falsehoods as to a certain candidate on the
opposite ticket: that he is connected with
the U. G. R., SC. Now, this man may
not feelvery comfortable to have 1t proven
that his house was made the head quarters,
in this region, of the infamous Jim Lane
and his men during Kansas troubles; and
further that he himself harbored stolen
negroes, knowing them to be such. Look
out for breakers ahead" There is a
heap of fun in America" and we pro-
pose, in certain events, to ventillate some
Of it.

Breckenridge Democratic ReSOlu-
films. 1'

At the Breckinridge Democratic pre-
cinct meeting held at Nemaha City on
Saturday the lst inst, the following res
buttons and preamble were "adopted by
unanimous CONSENT" and copies ordered
to be furnished both the Herald and i'd
U~ertiser. We failed to receive copy for
publication before the Convention. We
copy, however, from the Herald, not on
ly to advertise the sentiments or princi-
Piles contained, but for preservation as
a literary curiosity. We always suppos-
ed "Jeemes Wolcott" was the author of
the famous ''Catamount Story" but we
fear he "smouged;" the peculiar style of
writing from a man who wanted to beta
certain house and lot on Morton's cleo
tion-but didn't. These are 1.-THE largest,
bealthiest looking" preamble and reso-
lutions, "except their untimely death we
ever saw lying before our oficed door, dead
and weltering in its own Blood"
whereas, There is in this Territory a party calling
themselves Republicans, whose principles are the ag-
itation Of slavery and negro equality; and, Whereas the
whole aim Of this same party is TO break down the
Democracy Of the Territory, Therefore, we the Democ-
racy Of Nemaha City precinct, feeling it our duty to ex-
pose the Misrepresentation Of the sO-called Republican
leaders to the minds Of all thinking men, that they may
see the cOrTuptness OF the a~gitators by the Following
resolutions, the same being principles OF the great and
glorious Democracy Of the Territory.
ReSOiUed, list. That we, the Democracy, are opposed
TO the agitation of the Slavery question, and will use
all honorable means to suppress the same while we re-
main in a Territorial capacity.
2. That we are in favor, on being admitted into tire
the Union OF States Of coming into the same a free state,
with the entire exclusion Of all negroes, either free or
slave.
Sd. That the charges Of the Republican Party against
the Democratic party Of principles, pertaining to fraud
are false and gross misrepresentation, and are only
beralded through their organs for political aggrandise-
ment, and TO blind the eyes Of voters who have no po-
litical aEPiratTonS,
4th. That the attention Of all men is called to the
careful perusal Of these resolutions, as they are within
themselves facts and the same will be carried out by
The Democratic party at all hazards and regardless Of
