1ote On the New Constitution in ihis Coun-
y. They claim the result as triumph of
Democracy. 1t seema to do them 50 much
ysod, that We hardly have it in our heart
% gainsay ought they have advanced. But
Justice compels rs to give their asser-
ions at least . passing notice. The
adoption or rejection Of the Constitution
was not made party issue the late cleo
lion in this County. This is the honest
opinion Of every one not totally committed
10 party tactics. The magic of the ballot
box did dispel that conviction. The rawlings,
oaths and rantings Of the "analysis" man,
cannot convince any one to the contrary.
The contradiction upon contradiction OF
the Bugle man, cannot alter that conviction.
We know of many Democrats, who voted for
the adoption of the Constitution. We know
Of many Republicans who voted against its
adoption. We know too, that one-half Of
the tickets printed at this Office, and circu-
lated, by the Independent candidates, and by
the supporters of Mr.. NYR, had upon them,
the words-Ne,o Constitution-NO! We
know, too, that the adoption or rejection OF
the Constitution was not prominent issue
on the day of elcction-thc subject was al
most ignored. Not because it was an un-
important issue, but for the reason, that
every effort of the opposition, was directed
to the support of Mr.. NyE. The selection
Of County Judge was deemed paramount to
every other object. The people OF the
County, were pecuniarily interested, and the
issue was so prominent, SO close to their
hearts, that in their cagerness to place the
affairs of the County in trustworthy hands,
where they would be free from speculative
influences they allowed every thing
else to take its ownco urse. You may deny
this, to your hearts content, but such is the
fact.
Again, our astute neighbor gets into an
argun,entatirc strain, and calls us Black
Republican, and says We acted 'pursuant to
the secret circular instructions Of the Re-
publican State Committee" To that asser-
ton we give fiat denial. Up to the time Of
the publication of our last paper, we had
not seen that circular.(?) Neither do we
believe that any such circulur has been cir
cnlated by the Republican party. The first
time the article, (Which our neighbor pub
lished few days since) met our vision,
was on Tuesday last. 1t was published in
tho Burlington Gazette. As that paper
gave to the world the famous "Marcy-
Grimes'' letter, we believe this to be Of the
same order. viii the Bugie man tell US
what ''leading Republican, of this city was
the recipient. of that epistle. If such cir
cular has in reality been circulated, by the
State Central Commute, we are ignorant Of
the fact. We do not approve of any such
sssculduggery." If the Republican Central
State Committee have been engaged in such
undetermined business, they merit and should
receive the contempt of everybody. That's
our opinion.
With the result Of the vote upon the New
Constitution, we are very well pleased. We
were told, some time since that this County
would give an almost unanimous vote
against its adoption. Ave are glad to record
the fact, that Pottawattamie County did
nobly. We are glad that our neighhor feels
we'll over the RESULT is consonant with
our own feelings.

1st. Yes, neighbor, we are weaned, and
have been weaned long enough to forget the
teat. Not so with your friend Mr.. Nye.-
He is bleating after the teat; and being
something of sucker, will draw largely
upon the Black Republican party for sup
port. We fear, however, that the milk from
such woolly animal will not conduce to
his health, and he will die with the gripes.
Should he fail to get hold Of the teat, just
wrap him in rool and lay him away in one
corner of your office, to be used on some fu-
ture OCCASION"

it was enough to damn any manufactured

that article was held without a good foun-

of prejudice, but a good deal more of fact,
