Weprintth week, in full, the Dem
ocratic State Ticket. We see that Ne
maha county is offered her choice be-
tween two of her citizens for State Au-
ditor, and between another two for
District Attorney.
For Auditor, the Republicans offer
us Mr.. Gillespie, and the Democrats
offer us Mr.. Lett. Both are intelligent,
honest and able men. We should feel
quite resigned to our fate, whatever it
might be, had we no cause to fear
greater injury to our country and her
educational religious and politicalinsti
tutions, than would naturally result
from the administration of MI. Lett.
He is a Christian and a gentleman,
and hopes his party is not half 50 bad
as it really is; and we are glad to know
that Mr.. Gillespie is his peer in every
thing that goes to make up a truly
loyal man, and a trustworthy officer.
For District Attorney, for the First
Judicial District, the Democrats want
E. w. Thomas, and the Republicans
are bound to have Judge o. B. Hewett,
both praeticing and long resident at
torneys.of Brownville; both loyal, in
telligent men, able and competent to
fill the position to the entire satisfac-
ton Of the people of the District. In
conductingthis campaign, we hope not
to say one word or blow one breath OF
suspicion against the private charac-
ter or the public standing Of either OF
these gentlemen of the Democratic
persuasion; but as endorsers and adj
vocates of the policy of non-reconstruc
ton, reputation and revolution, we
expect to show that politically, they
are unsOund, Enthusiastically, and una
dapted to the wants and expectations
of the present Emergencies.
Mr.. Gillespie has been Auditor for
the past two years, and has proved
himself to be a competent and capable
officer, and his denomination was but
an endorsement Of his official acts.
Judge Hewett was elected Prosecu-
ting Attorney of Nemaha county, in
1852, as a Union man. This Office he
resigned on entering, a a private, the
Second Nebraska Cavalry, in which
he rose to be a commander. In the
fall of 1867, he was elected Over Mr..
Thomas, as County Superintendent
of Common Schools for Nemaha
county, and this spring he was elected
over Mr.. Broadly, as City Attorney for
the cityofBrOwnville, running largely
ahead of his ticket. This is but a pre-
lude to the handsome majority the
First Judicial District has in store for
him in OCTOBER next.

sure bnat was Delng DfOugnG . pear
upon him; did not think it would be
published he was sorry he wrote it
said he was ~indiscreet in doing so, still
he believed then, and does now, that
what he wrote to be true.
Mr.. Miller, Of Omaha, and Mr.. Pres
son, of Falls city, criticised his course
severely for after condemning politics
and political preachers, being found
dazzling in politics himself, and especi-
ally in so Shiny and scurriIous a sheet
as the Omaha Herald. The only point
that the Conference insisted upon his
acknowledging as wrong, was that he
should not have come out publicly in
a secular sheet to falsify the Confer
ence Record. That the better way
would have been, to have brought the
whole matter before the next Confer
ence and had the matter corrected.
This point having been satisfactorily
settled, it is u opinion that his rela-
ton with Conference as a circuit
preacher would have been continued,
had not brother Williams, himself, in
sisted upon the withdrawal of the mo-
ton, and asked to be put upon the To-
cal roll. His character was passed as
good, and they but granted his own
request, in placing him where they
did. Conference in no sense consid-
cred him in reference to his political
opinions. The above are our r~ecolIec-
tons and impressions of the matter.
Nebraska advertiser., 1868-08-13

The election Of Francis P. Blail
would be the approval by the people Of
his desire to turn our political canvass
into a bloody war; to make party diff
erances of opinions the sufficient reason
for deadly personal enmity. Itwonld
be the adoption by the United States
of a government by assassination and
violence, instead of a government by
law.
Were he elected and successful in
his plan, he would be above all law,
the military dictator of the land.
Were he elected and yet unsuccessful,
still the attempt to carry out his views
would cost the country more than the
former rebellion.
There is III straining, no exaggera-
ton in this statement of Mr.. Blair's,
position. Here are his words:
We cannot, therefore, undo the
radical plan of reconstruction by Con-
gressional action; the Senate will
continue a bar to its repel. Must we
submit to it? How can it be over
thrown? 1t can only be O~verthrOwn
by the authority of the Executive.
"There is but one way to restore
the government and the Constitution,
and that is for the President elect to
peclare these acts null and void, COM
pei the army to undo its Inscriptions at
the South, disperse the carpet-bag
State governments, allow the white
people to reorganize their own govern
ments, and elect Senators and Repre-
sentatives."
Whether the writer of this atrocious
language knew what he was saying,
is beside the question. Probably not;
it is at leastless disagreeable to suppose
that he was in a state of even more
than usual excitement at the time,
than that the former soldier of free
dom has become a deliberate traitor.
But he has not retracted the letter,
and if elected, is pledged to carry it
out.-EUeRing Post.

We notice a long article in the last
Brownsville Democrat concerning the
action Of the N. E.. Conference in the
case Of the Rev. A. Williams, which,
we think, tends to mislead the pub
lie. The Conference, In good faith,
over one year ago, admitted Mr.. VIII
liams, then from the III. E. Church,
South, into the Nebraska Conference
as a circuit preacher, and gave him
what is known as the Rulo Circuit,
where he labored acceptably until the
Peru Conference Session. II seems
thatMr. Williams, being pressed
by q few scheming Democrats, was

Republican club, BrOwnVille.


Republican Club, BrOWnVlAle'
The Republican Club Of Brownvine
Is doing valiant services in the cause
of Repubicanism. They are giving
aid to the clubs in the surrounding
precincts. by sending out speakers and
persons to form clubs. Weare raising
about $1,000 to defray these expenses
with Others that may arise during the
campaign. They have employed the
brass band as an accompaniment.
They hold meetings at Republican
Headquarters every Thursday even
inc. On last Thursday evening the
club was addressed by Col. Furnas and
fA.P coeswen. Esq; the former con-
sl4eIv showing that the rebellion,
which resulted in destroying so many
brave soldiers, cost so much money
Tor its suppression, involving such
Enormous taxes, was the direct result
of Democratic rule, up to 1860. And
that all the hardships which now are
an inhiction, are chargeable upon the
ieading Democrats of the nation and
should they be successful, they, in ac-
cordance with the expressed senti-
ments of F. P. Blair, would run the
Government back into another revolu-
tion. The latter, as clearly and as for
cibIy, demonstrated the fact that the
rebels of the South would gain in the
Rscendency of the Democratic party,
whatthey failedto accomplish by force
farms.
In conclusion, he said, "Show me
he men who first fred upon Fort
Sumpter, and I will show you men to-
lay that wear the Seymour badge.
how me the men that fired upon the
unarmed Pennsylvania troops, in the
streets of BaltimoreI Show me the
men that starved and shot down the
starving, half-naked, emaciated Union
prisoners at Andersonville, at Libby,
and at Belle Island! Show me the
m~assacrers of Fort Pillow and New Or
leansl Show me the unrepentent
rebel, from the private to the Major
General that led the armies of the
Southern Confederacy! Show me its
President, Vice President, and its Cab
met, and I will show you men, that
without a single exception, now wear
the Seymour-Blair badge"
They were frequently cheered, and
both speeches had a good effect. The

DIED-In BrownvfHe, Nebraska, August
9th, 1868, at the residence of her brother, ii. n.
Atkinson, ESQ.,, Miss SUSAN L. ATKINSON,
youngest daughter of the late Samuel Akin
son, Esq, formerly of Wheeling, Va.
Miss Atkinson was born in Wheeling, Va,
January sth l84l. After the death of her par
ents she made her home with her sister in
New York City. She completed her course of
education at h seminary of Mr.. MiloP Jew
EFT, Poughkeepsie, where she was a favorite
with the Principal and her classmates
Well educated, and of a kind, generous dis
position, she naturally dreWsto herself many
warm hearts, whose friendship causes her to
look forward to years of earthly happiness.
All the future seemed bright and joyons.
Alas, for earthly hopes! Her brilliant pros
poets became elOuded over by that terrible
disease, consumption, which seized upon her
some two years ago. Hoping that this eli
mate would be beneficial to her health, she
came to Nebraska last Nay. Her disease,
however, was too far advanced, and although
better for a time, she soon grew worse and
failed rapidly. After two years of intense
pain she has fOun rest in Heaven.
She leaves two sisters and two brothers,
who with many other friends, mourn her loss
though mot sorrowing as those who have no
uOpos EOI dAbuOuSu sic WIS HOb uulIeu 10 q
christian church, yet in her last hours she
gave evidences of true repentance and faith.
She expressed uufeigned regret that she had
not devoted herself more zealously to the SER
vice of Christ in her days of health and
strength, and declared earnestly that it was a
most unfavorable time to attend to the great
business of preparation for eternity upon q
sick and dying bed.
While able she read constantly in her Bible
and when nolonger able to read she was glad
to hear others. She found also great delight
in hearing sung hymns Of faith and hope.
Though HfelOoked attractive, she was willing
to die. She died with hope, trusting in God,
saying, "this is a beautiful world, but I am
going to a brighter; going to be with the an
gels in heaven"
"No shadows yonder!'
All light and song;
Each day 1 wonder,
And say how long
Shall time me suuder
From that dear throug?
No weeping yonderi
All ned away;
While here wander
Each weary day.;

Again shall sundeP;
