The Late Elections. When the Cincinnati Convention ns- tembled, the representatives of the Democratic party, before proceeding to the aomination of candidates for the presiden- cyand vice-precidency, established and agreed upon a platform of ths main feature of which was a full recognition of the popular 80veteignty doctrine. All the aspirants James Buchanan among. the number expressed their willingness to stand upon the platform of the party, and declared their resolution to carry out the doctrine it contained. That fundamental principle of popular sovereignty was made the issue of the presidential campaign, and by its earnest advocacy in every, democratic press and from every democratic stump in the land, the democratic party succeeded in elevating its candidate to the presidential chair.

Never Administration commenced under more favorable auspices. The democracy throughout the Union stood united tb a man in its support the opposition was sHenced; many of their papers went over into the ranks of the democracy and in the fall of 1S57. in'every State where elections took ylace, large democratic gains were the result. All presaged that, ta use' Got. Foote's language, "the Democratic party, with an unbroken strength, la the' Free States of the Norm upon ih'e basis of popular sovereignty would have been able to meet and over throw- the Republican faction every the victories achieved last autumn over this pestilent faction would have been renewed and multiplied; and before the resent moment there would have been an end of Free-Soilism and Black Repu Uicanisra ,1 Bui the Kansas question came up, and in an evil listening to the advices cfa few fire-esters who are now stig matized by a prominent Southern man as being 'me most shallow, self-sufficient and really impotent demagogues that the has ever known" Mr.

Buchanan turned his back to his pledges, disregarde the popular sovereignty principle, that great, plank of the democratic platform and, borrowing from the republicans their Congress-intervention doctrine, tried to force upon the people, of Kansas a Con Stitution. they abhored. In vain etanch democrats remonstrated, Lecompton was made a test "of democracy. Since then we have heard 'the, best democrats denounced as traiiors to the and have witnessed the strange spectacle ff a Democratic Administration proscrib- ing democrats, removing from office nil those who would not submit to their dictates, and using all the means that pow er gives to influence against democrats the elections in the States.

Pennsyivania sends to the next Congress, put of 25 representatives 22 Anti-Lecompton men that is 20 Repub licans, 3 Anti-Lecompton Democrats, and only 2 Administration Democrats, Flor- ence and iiut examined, in detail, the result of the election is still more to the Admimstra tion. i Thus lorenoe WDO took his las ter backed by a majority of 2,200 Uoes back with only 493.

Administration on the Kansas question, and they secured their by renouncing the profession of the Lecompton English bill. Out of 11 Congressmen, 9 are Anti-Lecompton. Such is the result of the late elections in the Free States. We have said above what it would probably have been had not the Administration deserted the Cincinnati platform.

But snppose for a moment that when Mr. Buchanan tried to force upon the people of Kansas the Lecompton Constitution, Douglas, Broderick and Stuart in the Senate, and Harris, Montgomery, Hickman and other democrats in the House, had remained silent; suppose the major part -of Ihe democratic press had not protested against the outrage and tell us, if you can, what would remain of the democratic party in the Northern States!

National Homestead BUI. This is the all absorbing topic with the people of Nebraska. Our citizens are I daily and hourly discussing the grand chenie of settling the vast and fertile ands of the extreme West.

Even Neb raska alone, under a homestead law, would afford homes for almost millions the "wilderness would blossom as the rose," and great, mighty and happy re suits would inevitably follow to our Ter ritory and the' We have every reason to base our be- ief that a "National Homestead" is one of the necessaries of the age, and that our government will speedily establish the aw. The pre-emption laws now in force need not be disturbed, those who are dis posed should have the privilege of avail ing themselves of its provisions. No in- jury can accrue to tne general govern ment through the operation? of a Homestead, to the contrary, much to perpetuate our national greatness would be accomp lished. Congress no doubt will pass at no dis tant period a Homestead Law. The settlers may be required to reside upon, cultivate the soil, and otherwise improve the land for a number of vears.

This think should be sufficient. Some induce-ment should be offered for the settlement of the plains, but we seriously regret the move made at the Capital by a few de-designing, brolcen Jotm, one-horse politicians, as a waste of time and health. Those of our readers who have not read the "form of petition," Sec, circul ating through Nebraska, are referred to the first of to-day's paper. We 40 hope that in lieu of sending up to our Na tional Legislature such an absurd petition, one for a homestead will be sent. The hardships, privations and toils attending the life of a western pioneer should en title him to not only the very modest pri vilege of cultivating "twenty acres of timber," but to IGOacresof land wherever he can find it unclaimed, "residing' on and cultivating the soil for five years ind paying the fees of the land office.

ew of us would be able to comply with the contemplated modification of the pre-emption law as asked for in the "pe Men." Men who settle new. countries are no supposed to be possessed of the force, and means to carry oa a farm and besides grow and bring to perfection a large bo dy cf timber. Not only this, but it seems hat where timber already exists the claimant is not included in the provisions of the law that only these who lake up ands on -the plains can have any of its The settlers of the Western Territories had much better cling to the present law, without asking amendments which are calculated to work more mis- chief than good.

But we have not the remotest idea that Congress will make the amend ment as desired by that Whang-doodle'11 meeting and "pseudo Committee." I "Keep It Before the People -That Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, is the man for the age that he has stood steadfast in maintaining the vitally important principle, of the democratic party. Whilst many have departed, flinch ed, and most cowardly fled bofore the enemy, this man has displayed no want of that courage which enters into the composition of a great and wise statesman. Last session of Congress, when Kansas appeared for admission into the Union, and the President recommended her ad- mission on the ground of expediency, ig- noring the principle of allowing the peo- pie of Kansas to receive or reject the Constitution under wincn ttiey were to De organized as a btate, Judge Douglas stepped forward in vindication of princi- pie, and in opposition at mat lime to ai- most the whole of the democratic party headed by the 1'resident. lhe entire land was made to echo with vituperations and curses poured out on the head of Mr.

Douglas. His motive was misconstrued, a design of no irood to the country and especially to the party of which he was a mom hor fici tho nronori lntpmrptntlfin I had sent forth 10 the nation lt3 well dl- gested and carefully written views, and the expectation was that all democrats would swallow them as the "law and gospel" of the party but should any one I fail to bow with all submission, he or they must be handled as traitors, and banished from the "good graces" of the President and his "policy" party. At attempt was repeatedly made to "read men" out of the democratic party. Douglas contended for principle for the mcinnau piatiorm, emDracing tne nan- sas-Ncbraska Act. Every blow struck had its effect; his language plain, but ac- companied witn mat.

power and torce which has seldom fallen from the lips of mnnin'inriinvniWnM Alitor the land it was shouted, Dovglas is op- posing Vie democratic party, he has gone over to the republicans. Some said it is no more than was expected of such a man. Little did his calumniators dream that his course was destined to meet with the approval of the conservative people in all the sections of the Union, and that erelong the democratic party, north and south, east and west, would unite in say- ing that the "little giant" was and is of the "true metal." He came to the rescue in the right time, and the cause of princi- pie and democracy is saved from impending ship-wreck. The accusations made by almost every democratic paper in the land agains Judge Douglas are fresh in the memories of the American people. He was unhesitatingly pointed at as a traitor, as an enemy more hostile than the most fa-naticaland unscrupulous abolitionist, and the individual who ventured the intimation that Douglas was taking the course marked outby'me'Kansas-Nebraska was denominated a renegadeaud desti tute of the "true faith." But the "table hasturned," and demo crats everywhere are flocking to the old platform laid down in 1856.

Douglas nas retrieved and Dlaced unon a firm bundation the principle of popular sov ereignty. Odious constitutions may be dispensed with by the vuic of the people. Congress shall not force laws upon a State or Territory, but the inhabitants thereof shall be left free, without any extraneous influences whatever, to frame and adopt such laws as they in their wisdom may deem applicable. This is all that is or has been contended for by Mr. Douglas, He thought Kansas should be allowed to decide for herself, that her citizens had sufficient intelligence to know their own business, and if left alone no apprehen sion need be entertained but what she would adopt just such a Constitution as she wanted.

Judge Douglas fought in open battle for that plan of admitting Kansas into the Union. It was not "policy" with him but principle. Although the whole Dem- ocratic Administration was arrayed ag- ainst him, he did not surrender an inch of ground, but renewed with increased vi- gor his masterly efforts in behalf of prin- ciple, the democratic party and the Union; and to this end he is still found directing his giant-like powers. We hope most ar- aentiy, tor me sake of the democratic party, that he may come off victorious thereby demolishing the last vestige of the hydra-headed sectional monsters, republicanism and negro-equality.

BOWI5. The General is the President of the Council, and is an efficient and pleasant officer. He understands his whole duty, and performs in the government of the body to the satisfaction of all its members. On the floor his address is easy, agreeable and forcible, always drawing great attention from his associates and the lobby. His, membership is co-extensive with the territorial organization with perhaps the first session of the Legislature, and this is his second term as president of the Council.

COUNCIL BILLS. A Mechanics' Lien Law passed the Council unanimously also an act regulating the salaries of the Auditor and the Territory. HOMESTEAD. Wednesday 13, the Homestead bill was considered in uommutee or tne Whole House. There will be but little opposition to a Homestead such as I think can be agreed upon.

There is a great va riety of opinions as to what is a proper Homestead Law. Messrs, Rankin, Steele, Mason, Stew art and Kline probably will agree to have a clause of quantity inserted, but no va- uation whilst Clayes and WTasson wish to exclude back debts to a certain amount. Messrs. Bennet, Marquette, Taffe and Young desire a valuation standard. What the thinkers in their seats will do when the time vor voting comes I am not yet able to divine, but they will be apt to put it through independent of influences more than in their strong judgments may be considered riht.

The speeches were very creditable to those who delivered them, each endeavoring it is presumed to represent his people. If the constituency differ as much as their servants, there will be no other way to pass such a bill but by a compromise which," with the sentiments expressed, will consume some time to accomplish. BILLS. Mr. Furnas' Agricultural bill has pass ed.

This is a Territorial law making provisions for the incorporation of Terri torial and County Societies. The Dempster Biblical Institute to be located in Cass county, was indefinitely postponed in the Council. A supplemental bill, adding a third term to the Courts, and explaining the bill passed a few days since, passed the House and was sent to the Council where it was indefinitely postponod. Many are pleased at the result, whilst others think the relief called for will not be given in the first bill, which is construed not to effect back mortgages, trust deeds, but only answers for the future, whilst other debts are stopped only about six months. HOMESTEAD.

Homestead bill passed the Council this morning, 16th, allowing eighty acres in the country and half an acre in town without reference to value. This will meet opposition in the House but will be advocated by Mason, Rankin, Stewart and others, whilst it will be strongly opposed by Daily who wants a valuation limit without reference to quantity. Marquette will also oppose it and others. But I think the probabilities are in its favor. A homestead of some kind will be likely to become a law next week.

Both bodies have agreed to have the Criminal Law published in a newpaper at the Capital, for which they agree to pay seventy-five dollars. This will be a loss to any office that may do it, as it is to be paid in territorial warrants. The Homestead in the Council was advocated by Doane and Reeves, and opposed by Miller and Moore because it did not embrace a valuation clause. The above gentlemen are able and ready debaters attending closely to the business of the session and always listened to with much attention. LADIES IN TIIE nOUSE.

On Friday three young ladies made their appearance in the House for the first time during the session. Then came the tug of war for at such times all real business suspended and gives away to the oratorical and gallant gentlemen to show their eloquence and powers of debate. Each was anxious to gain the floor, whilst Rankin, Clayes, Marquette, Davis and Stewart had the pleasure of edifying the ladies, to the exclusion of other aspirants for that honor. COUNCIL BLUFFS FAIR. The show of cattle and horses was very creditable, but the exhibition of vegetables excelled any thing of the kind which I ever witnessed, except those of Nebraska.

Cabbage, in a large quantity, weighing each twenty-five pounds corn stalks with nine ears wheat plump and heavy; turnips astonishing in size. Then came the equestrianship of the ladies, with about fifteen hundred persons present. The ladies were excellent riders, and first made their appearance with gentlemen who rode several times round the course; then the ladies by pairs; again singly; and every change put them thro' on a full run. One of the ladies had a horse that was unsafe for gentleman to ride, and while under full headway threw up both hands with the lines on the saddle, and put him to his best speed. That was a daring undertaking for a lady.

PREMIUMS. The premiums were two side saddles, purchased at the expense of a gentleman disconnected with the Fair arrangements, and cost about forty dollars each. They were brought on to the fair ground, and when the award was announced, the lady, Miss Emma White, who obtained the first premium, expressed her choice of the two and it was put on to her horse; and Mrs. Robinson who tcok second premium was entitled to the other. As to the saddles there was no material difference, but the honor of having the first selection in this instance was of importance, for the reason that it had become a question of up and down town over which much interest wa3 shown throughout the city.

Nebraska judges had to be chosen to satisfy the parties. CAPITOLIUM. Oar Councilman.
