FOR DELEGATE 10 COMPRESS


Of those who work the wires IN the Dem
ocrasic party in this Territory isto endorse
tie Naturalization Of James Buchanan.
The officials are indebted to Buchanan
for all they have and are, and are in duty
bound sustain him. Hence they put one
of his leading officials on the track as can
dida.e back sqaare down from Douglas
Popular Sovereignty dOclrine take the
Buchanan-B re ckinridge position, and each
official goes 10 work 10 secure Morton's
election With as much zeal a though their
very life depended upon the result. Every
man in Nebraska who votes for J.. Sterling
Morton votes 10 sustain the actsof James
Buchanan. We ask the voters herea-
bouts-the farmers more particularly
if they are prepared TO say swell done
thou good and faithful servant to one
who, when elected four years ago, said
TO the people in the over-crowded States
who needed homes, but were unable TO
pay from $50 to 500 per acre for land +;
".Go, out west. to Nebraska and Kansas,
there; is as good land as God ever made,
you can have for 81 % per acre, and can
have time after you go on that land, to
make the money out Of it, with which to.
pay the general government - and, when
thousands of you-believing him to be
honest-gathere together your all, sought
the fertile prairie : selected your claim;
spent what litIe money you had, 10 secure

had a home within your grasp, you were
told il was butia Soft delusion!' You.
had only been dished up as food for a
horde Of hungry land warrant cormorauts
who hang around Washington, and at the
proper moment induced Buchanan to rush
on the Land Sales, in order to afford them
a market. The result was, you were
caught in the condition that Jou must
either leaye-vhich most Of you could
not do, for you had spent on your claims
all you had-or submit to borrow a war
rant at the exhorbitant rate of interest of
sirty per emf per annum!
Now lei US see what has been the ruin
Gus result in the end not only to each Of
you rs individuals, but to the future Of
the country. We have taken the pains to.
ascertain the exact indebtedness of the
people in this Land District, created as
an inevitable result of the Land Sales,
at the time and under the circumstances
they were brought on.
We find, from an examination Of
the Books Of the Register of Deeds
in Nemaha, Richardson and Pawnee
counties, that the Land Sales has sad
