THE WINTER.

For the information of all interested
will here remark that the winter at Oma-
ha. excepting a "blow'' occasionally, has
so far elected the admiration of all lovers
of clOudless skies, balmy and refreshing
air, even, / am credibly informed, the
delegate to the third House." from
Beaufort, is elOquen;in his praises of the
weather.
The river is still partly open here;
cannot be crossed by teams, and unless
the "cold" becomes more severe it will
remain Statue quo until the return of
spring. We have had only an inch or
Two of snow, the sign Of which can
scarcely be seen; in consequence of this
sleighing has been literally "run into the
ground" to the great disappointment.

sport.
In few words, the climate of Nebraska
has no superior. and butfew equals, which
must, ere long, attract the tide Of i'm
migration from all parts of the world,
and make US in a few years n of the
most pOpulous and wealthy people in the
Union. We have, not only the climate,

these who can doubt the unaPPrOachable

The present troubled condition of the

AN ACT

and House of Representatives Of the

The Senator From Oregon.

Benjamin Stark, of Oregon was ad.
mitted to seat in the U. S. Senate on
the 9th ult., by vote of 26 to 49,
Stark is the successor of the late Col.
E. d. Baker, who was murdered by
somebody's laundering at Balls Bluff.
He was appointed by the Governor to
fill Bakers place until successor
should be duly elected. Considering
that Baker lost his life in defense of
his country and her glorious institu-
tons, and that his action and sacrifices
are supposed to have been such that
the people of Oregon were glad to
honor, they had right to expect that
his place would be filed by a loyal
man. But instead of this, it is said
by men who know him best, that this
Stark has been for the past twelve
months an ardent advocate of the
cause of the rebellious States. He has
openly avowed his sympathies with the
South, declaring the Government dis
rupted, and openly expressing his adj
miration for the constitution of the
Confederate States, and advocating the
absorption of the loyal States of the
Union in the Southern Confederacy
under that constitution as the only
means of restoring peace; thus advo-
eating the surrender of our Govern
ment to the so-called Confederate
States. In admitting him, we fear the
Senate has made bad mistake and es-
tablished most dangerous precedent.
This decision has opened a wide door,
which it will not be easy either to close
or to guard. We are glad to notice
that both the Senators from this State
voted in the negative.

Please Tell us.

Will those organs of the reasonable
Democracy, who are now so busily en-
gagged in the endeavor to resusitate the
old broken-down organization of their
party, and who for that purpose apply
the epithet of "Abolition traitors" to all
who do not agree, with them-will they
please tell us, we ask, how it happens
that every man who has gone from the
North to aid the traitors to overthrow
the government IS Democrat
Why is that every Northern. man
who has been arrested for treason-ev-
cry Northern man who has given aid
and comfort TO the enemy-every
Northern man who has been sent to
Fort Lafayette as an enemy to his
country, IS a Democrat
Not Republican has ever been gull
ty of these acts of treason. Not one
is ever found trying to aid the rebels
in any capacity. Each and every one
of them are in favor of a prompt res
toration Of the government at any
cost; while large portion of the
leading Democrats not engaged in the
war, are sympatbizing with the rebels;
some even, like the editor Detroit Free
Press, in correspondence with them.
Why are these things so? Are they
circumstances of mere accident, and of
no significance whatever Honest
Democrats, as well as Republicans, de-
sire an explanation of these things If
the latent fires of treason are not the
life principle of Democracy, how is it
that its CHASTITY Hurled flame so often
bursts forth from the smouldering ruins
of that organization, to be smothered
only by the strong arm of the govern
ment? Will some of the expounders

The Democratic ResolutIou,.

The Cass County Democracy, which
met in the Court House, at Cassapolis
on the 9th ult., besides appointing del
gates to the State Convention, passed
a mortal long string of resolutions,
which for strong partizan animus and
sectional sentiment, could hardly be ex-
celled in the midst of most exciting
political canvass. At the present time,
when so exceedingly little partizan feel
ing aninates the people, and when men
of all parties are united in the effort to
restore the country to its original en-
joyment of liberty, law and order, and
to maintain the constitution as our
fathers made it, it would seem impossi-
BILE that any political convention could
adopt series of resolutions, without
having them embrace some sentiment
of patriotism and devotion to the coun-
try. We are glad the convention saw
fit to embrace in their resolutions some
sentiments of this character but we
must confess it seems to us they were
framed with view of making them as
strictly partizan as possible. One or
two of the resolutions are patriotic,
sensible and decent, but the majority of
them are quite otherwise.
1t is an undeniable fact that immense
frauds have been perpetrated against
the government, and it is well that the
people should set their faces strongly
against such acts; but if the Demo
cratic party could rid itself of the
stigma attaching to it on account of the
unheard of thefts and gigantic frauds
committed by its members during the
last Presidential administration, while
under its immediate auspices the pres
ent shareholders rebellion was warmed
into life, denunciations of present
frauds would come with a much better
grace.
But the people of the Northern
States, no matter if Democratic con-
ventions pass. resolutions from years
end to years end, denouncing fraud
and corruption, and bemoaning "sec-
tionalism," will not forget that the re-
bellion was fostered, grew and was
nourished in the very bosom of Dem
ocratic administration, and that it al
ways found, and still finds its only sup
porters III the ranks of that party.
