,.f

It is right and proper that the democratic party, which has always stood between the constitution and its assailants, should be the first to vindicate it now. [Applause.] We are of that party whose principles have three times saved the Union which have given life and vitality to our governmental system which have developed the muscles, expanded the chest, given fullness to the head, and largeness to the heart of American progress. And, above all, and. embracing all, is the fact that been the party of and for We are of those who, in the ford conventions, and American stepped, forth to prop the reeling glories of the country. [Great applause.]

We never spat upon the constitution, but took it as the foundation of all our hopes. We never appealed to a law higher than that eacrcd. instrument, but we have clung to it as tiie 'mariner clings to the last plank whin night and the tempest gather over him." Wc never give aid and comfort to traitors, but branded them before the country as political assassins. We are of that number who give to those fleeing from oppression abroad a home in our midst and a charter to manhood. We never desecrated the religion of the living God b}T dragging it upon the political platform nor made religious faith a test for office nor declared a man accursed on account of his nativity.— We hold that a man's birth-place does not disqualify him for public position. [Great applause.] We oppose a union of Churcli and State. We oppose religious faith as a test for office. [Applause, and some disturbance in the crowd.] In these sentiments we agree with the constitution.— Upon these wc are willing to staud or fall, and from this stronghold wc defy all opposition to drive us. [Enthusiastic applause.] On the adoption of the constitution there were various opinions as to the practical working of that instrument. Some thought in your pride, you would treat our it gave, too much power to the federal gov-1 foreign population?

Are they not good citizens? Who build your turnpikes, assist in making your railroads, and in digging your mines? The great proportion of them are a foreign population and would you proscribe them? You may recollect—for many of you have seen the play of the Lady of Lyons—that Claude Meinotte, in an ecstasy of passion, sent to the proud Pauline aboquetof flowers, accompanied by a note, which was returned With insult, and his messenger was beaten. Melnotle then, addressing his mother, asks:

XEDRASIt'A.

The Omaha Gazetle of the 5th, says that it is with much satisfaction that we announce to our readers and the citizens of of [sic] this territory that information from the most unquestionable source, sustains our position in regard to the occupancy of the lnnds that have been treated for with the Indians.

It is ex-officially declared that these lands really are open for settlement and that the settlers have a right to squat upon the lands, and that they are entitled to the protection of government, in person and property, from the hands of the Indians as much so as the people of Iowa or Missouri.

It also remarks that the road east from the Bluff City is literally lined with emigrants coming to settle in the territory.— We never, it continues, witnessed a greatier decree of assiduity, industry, and goaheaditiveness, than is daily apparent here. One goes to bed at night and should he happen to sleep a liitle too long in the morning, he looks out to behold dwellings reared near and around him which seems to have appeared as if by magic. Scarcely a day passes but one or more new buildings are reared heavenward. The rattle of materials, the pattering sound of the hammer and axe, and the grate of the saw, creates a pandemonium of noise—which instead of grating upon the ears, is "music sweet"—-which pictures in the fancy pleasant firesides, comfortable offices, stores filled with nice things and prosperity in general. "Lay on McDuff, the ox shouln't be muzzled that treads out the corn," your reward is certain ye stalwart pioneers and woodsmen, spare not the tree, but hew it down and rear your pleasant cot in the wild blooming prairies.
