Bellevue gazette. [volume] (Bellevue City, N.T. [i.e. Neb.]) 1856-1858, 1857-01-29
The Nebraskian.

The last weeks issue OF this paper Is
one continued string Of the vilest abuse
and unmitigaied falsehood. Nearly three
four,hs Of its reading matter is devoted TO
objectionable and low SANDER Of Gov.
McCoMAs aud the members from the
Bellevue District, and yet, with the adroIt-
ness Of a pructiced defamer, ii hints con-
illusions without alleging facts. II init
mates that two members of this district
offered, for ten thousand dollars, to sell
the votes Of the whole delegation on the
Capital Question, and for the truth of this
suggests u call on the man whose name
appears at the head of this paper as Pub
Usher. Now let US tell that hireling
sheet such call has been made, and that
the intimation is as false as the black
heart that made il. The Bellevue Dele
CATION are true and loyal 10 their consti-
tuents, and Omaha has not money enough
to buy them, however tpiHing she may be to
try 20 carry out her constant but Infamous
boast, that they can and wW buy the
whole Legislature, if necessary, to her
%ruinous purposes. 1t intimates, amid a
perfect storm of impotent rage and abuse,
that Gov. McCoMAs is the evil genius,
under whose auspices alone, the whole
mighty moving of the people to throw of
the drunken, dominating and corrupt des-
potism of the Omaha clique has been
Matched and carried forward, and that he
has used corrupting influences to obtain
his ends.
Now, how stands the facts in relation
to Gov. McCoMAs. Every n here
who enjoys Gov. McCoMAs' confidence
(and there are a number), know that he
came to Bellevue as n mere visitor to the
Ter~ritory--that he has been detained from
matters of interest, and motives every
way jus,ifable and laudable--,hat he has
no desire to fill any Office in the Terrific
ry-that the whole of whatever has been
said in relation to his taking Office, has
been said solely with the view to quiz the
piebald pack of ofice-holders and office
seekers among the Omaha clique. We
know hat he did not start, or design to
start, the movement to remove the Capt.
tal-,hat when it was proposed to him tc
make a location for that purpose, he had
made his arrangements to leave the Ter,
ritory and declined the proposition bu
being delayed unexpectedly, and the move
ment taking a turn which forwarded in
terests which he had acquired in the Ter
ritory, he has remained, and in spite c
the low SANDER and violent threats c
Omaha, has steadily acted in unison wit
and for the good of the people of til
Territory. But does Gov. McCoMA
own the town of Douglasa Has he give
any portion of il to any member of III
Legislature We answer, no! Go
McCoMAs was chosen President of III
organization, and refused to shrink from
or skulk the responsibility of the position
Was there harm or discredit in bein
President Of a own which, by the Gel
trality Of its location, was regarded
two-thirds of the Legislature as fit for j
Capital. Gov. MoCoMAs had a fai
but by nc means large share of the stoC
of the town; but we assert unhesitating
that he has never given or sold one lot
share of Douglas to any member of Il
Legislature. II there be any fact CO
trary to this assertion, which is known
be true, let any responsible man put b
finger on it and the lie will be nailed
the counter. Rave on, Omaha ! "Th,
sand-bar Sedan J" Thou art devoted
the internal Gods! Lies cannot sa'

The grass will continue to grow up,
your corner lots, and the Pawnees tent
the moldering pile of brick on your Cal

will rule the State, and when those v
