THE DRIED SCOTT CASE.

in this They complain that they delayed, while
the views of the dissenting judges have been widespread
before the public by those who in Them

ory of the judges whose opinions neither they the
public have The injustice Of denouncpg judicial
conclusions which they have is too manifest TO
be questioned We understand that the opinions of the
judges were filed with the clerk be recorded and pub
lished in the usual manner.
1t appears that the two judges who dssented fur
nshed of the ordinary of things copies of their
dssents for the public papers, thus contributing in advance
the elements of political assaults upon their brethren who
have been fercey condemned without being heard We
however hope Icy before readers the views of
each of the judges in this notwithstanding case Ar
have been made to procure copies for the pub

views of the judges before the public in authentic
FORM SO as to be fully understood intend to present
such suggestions upon the principles involved in them
deem pertinent and demanded by the OCCASION Ieranng,
however from ALL denunciatory language towards those
whose opinions may differ from own Time will show,
in this what experience has proved in Others that judi
ca opinions are not be ovethrown by abuse and harsh
epithets nor sustained by defamation They stand
or fall upon the strength and force of the arguments they
contain They are addressed to the and

reflection and Judgment The action of the Supreme Court
in this case will form no exception to this rule.

he DIED.

III LarE
THOMAS GoLLoHER, who was shot by
Jeremiah Campbell, on the Goth Of
May, near this place, died on Sunday
last from the effect Of the wound. Mr..
Golloher, was from Toronto, Canada,
and had been III the Territory but a
few dags4bHe had every attention
shown him by DR.. PEERY bis attending
to render him comfortable
and secure his recovery. q
The cause leadingto this unfortunate
difficulty was "claim Jumping" OF
the particulars we forbear speaking at
present, as the matter will probably
undergo a legal Investigation. The
whole difficulty and result is one to be
regretted exceedingly. We felt quite
sure when we saw the matter assuming
the shape it did, in our streets a few
evenings before the fatal result, that
the end would be just about as it has
turned out. We advised and plead for
a different modesOf adjusting matters.
Whenever men cut themselves f. loose
from law in this or any other country,
and attempt to settle matters in their
own way, serious consequences follow.
We have laws for every imaginable
offence or grievance, and it becomes
us a good citizens to settle all ou1
differences and difficulties by those
laws, and cheerfully abide decisions
under them. Our Presumption laws
are as plain as the nose on a mans
face, and when differences arise under
them, they are easily settled, and nc
other mode should be resortd to. This
unfortunate occurrence is the frstthat
ever transpired in this county, and we
pray it may be last-we hope it may
prove a lesson for the future. We
have boosted of our peace and harmony
in claim matters, and attributed il
very properly to our observance Of TIL
laOs. Letus not sully our fair reputa-
ton at home and abroad, by following
the example of some other points il
this Territory and Kansas in regardtc
settling claim difficulties.

We this week present to the voters
of Nebraska the name Of Col. B. p.
RANKIN, of Sarpy county, as our choice
for Delegate to Congress- Insu doing
we believe we represent the feelings
of three-foau1rths Of the citizens Of our
own county, and of a large proportion
of the citizens of the Territory. OF
the Colonel eneednotspea at length,
as he is known as extensively perhaps
to our people as any otter citizen in
Nebraska. He is one of the Pioneers
to this Territory; having come here
two and a half years ago, and raised
with his own hand the hdmble cabin
where he first sheltered his family
From that day to this he has resided
on his claim, and has always andevery-
where been the friend of the squatter,
and the earnest advocate of his rights.
Wherever the strong have combined
against the weak his voice has been
heard as the poor mans friend, and
more than enc are indebted to his
friendly efforts for the homes around
whose hearthstones, are peace, thrift,
and content. His influence has been
exerted and felt as a conciliator in
those strifes which have rent and dis
tracted the Territory, SO that to-day
the South as we'll as the North unite
upon him as the best man to represent
the entire Territory in the Halls Of
Congress. AS to his ability to fill the
position with honor, weleave the people
who know him 50 well to, Judge, That
he has untiring energy of chaaraactel
and an mistaken purpose Of mind in
pursuance of an object, all who know
him must admit. In his integrity anG
honesty we have the highest conf.
dence, having known him intimately
AS a friend he is devoted and enthusi.
%astic, and in the darkest hours, is true
as steel. We therefore, earnestly com.
mend his claims to the attention O.
Squatters, assured that where he is bes'
known he viii get the most support
OF one thing rest assured, Col
Rankin viii fight this battle until the
end, however, it may be represented
to the contrary; and if there is am
thing in signs and the beating Of tn,
public pulse, his prospects are un
clouded, and victory is certain. g..
