TlAe Contrast.

Now, that Ferguson is elected to Con.
gress, ond Rankin, Thayer, and Chap
man dcfeated-please notice how great
the contrast. Col. Rankin, M old settler,
fought openly boldly and manfully--he
waged a fierce war against his adverse.
ries-and now, that the battle is fought,
and the people have decided their prefer
ence al the ballot box, you observe Col.
b, P, Rankin, with true loyalty TO the laws
of his country, and in obedience to the
well expressed wishes of the people, cheer
fully submitting, as a JACKSON, or a CLAY,
has done before him.
General THAyER, who is a ~favorite
with the people, took also his chance for
Congress, appealing to them in every city
town and hamlet, through the length and
breadth of the Territory, but when the re-
turns announce to him the election of Fer
guson, he quietly acquiesces, and without
the least appearance Of regret, remarks
at is the voice of the people and ! am
content"
Now, let us take u view Of the conduct
of this ifth-rate pot house politician from
Elyria, Ohio-B. b. ~Chapman-a mai
who like the ~locusts, (only oftener) peri
odically comes to curse the land and bligh
the fair prospects of the country, by hi.
pestiferous presence-a mar who has the
unparalleled impudence, the unbluShinS eff.
frontery, TO come from his home in Ohio
and ask Nebraska, who had twice repudi
ated him at the ballot box, TO ENDORSE hin
, endorse q man who has covered tn,
A., whole territory over with his foul and in
famous electioneering schemes-swingins
and jumping his ragOn Roads to and fro
in order to cover Il given amount of terri
tory, to induce one portion of the commu
nifty to vote for him through fear-an,
another, because of p~ecuniary advantage
And yet, with all his foreign stock of i'm
ported men, horses aud buggies-his grea
amount of "fAhy hcre," scattered so pro
fusely over the territory-he has, as III
r .turrs show, received the endorsement
Of less than one fourth of the people Q
Nebraska, and yet this fawning, cringini
sycophant, blubbers and whines like
whipped spaniel, because, forsooth til
people have again administered to him
Just and merited rebuke, "Me trans

up in the city of Omaha, by interested per-
sons, and printed at the Nebraskidn Of
fee, on the face of which, is a map or
sketch purporting to be a Typographical
Sketch cfd portion Of Nebraska Territory"
The Missouri river is laid out in regu-
lar form, commencing away north, at
Sioux City, on the Iowa side, and Logan,
Dakotah and Omadi; on the Nebraskian
side of the riyer-and all, (of couse) right
up chuck to the river-whilst Bellevue and
some other towns of far more importance
than all the Dakotah's and Omadi's in the
world, is placed some SIX miles from the
Missouri, and made to appear as small
insignificant places, scarcely perceptible
upon this great Envelope Map-this new
invention of "s~euLduggery."
Now for the benefit of the public, we
will give a short sketch how this matter
first originated "A certain Mr.. o. F,
Davis, was largely interested in a tow
called Harvey City, situated we believe
on Shell Creek, Messrs Poppletop anC
Byers, was also largely interested in q
town called Tekamah, which is at leas
eight miles from the Missouri river, bu
upon said beautiful envelope is made Il
appear right up 10 the bank. BY looking
at the sketch" you will perceive that they
have got a railroad, called the Chicago
, Lyons & Tekamah Air Line r. R." run
ming from Tekamah, west to Harvey City
1t might as we'll be mentioned here, tha
they have happened to hit upon a signif,
. cant name, (air-line,) but if they had any
q regard for the truth, they would hay,
3 called it the '.Gass Line" for that is al
8 it will ever amount to. But to return
t Mr.. Davis made the draft ip the frs
n place, and an engraver by the name o
Beadle, of Buffalo, n. Y, interested il
= the city of Saratoga, situated right alon.
/ the side of Omaha, catched up the ide
: and engraved this renowned envelope
d this "~gaLer" envelope, which looks some
: thing like the map Of Mexico, printed upo
c ten cent muslin after a hard fought battle
l. This Beadle, has another railroad, run
y ming from the great city of Saratoga

envelope) called the Davenport and Pa

his worship-and his support Of them UNI
der all circumstances is firm and unbend-
ing. Policy which is the guiding star Of
most politicians, has had no influence up
on him. No honest conviction has been
smo,hered--no expression has been shap-
ed to suit the e~Sigency Of the times. He
speaks fully and freely all that he feels,
and in language easily understood. THIS
has made him enemies, but the luxury of
saying what he believed, has seemed TO
compensate him for the opposition which
he has excited. This much we feel call
ed upon to say of Col. Rankin as a public
man. AS the first Treasurer of the Ter
ritory, and subsequently as United States
Marshal we believe his enemies even,
have not urged against him a want of'ca-
pacity or a neglect of duty. In every
trust which he has held, we believe he
has been honest, truthful and efficient.
In private life, we know him to be al
earnest and devoted friend, and the dark
er the hour which glooms over the path
way Of his fellows, the warmer is his
sympathy. To our knowledge he has
never deserted a friend, at the dictate o.
policy or the call of ambition. AS a citi
zen, we know him to be public spirited
and generous even 10 a fault. He il
scrupulously exact in the discharge of al
his liabilities as this whole community vii
cheerfully attest.
In the canvas which has just closed
we must confess that his course has beef
shaped not with reference to policy, 70
wherever we have met him he has beef
standing upon the same platform, and ad
vocating the same doctrines with an en-
thusiasm and an energy which few me
possess. IL an energy that knows no tir
and a fearless advocacy of sound doc
trines merited success; Col. Rankin
! would to-day be our Delegate. But h
, was at first supported by the leaders of
r cliuqe with which we have no sympathy
and we feared the purposes for whic
they would have attempted TO use him
After he was basely and heartlessly be
trayed by the very man, W o above a
r others should have been earnest and con
slant in his support; we had formed com
pacts to sacred to be broken and we op
posed him and worked for the success Q

The conflict is over and the dead and
wounded lie scattered around us. We
have, as a journalist, refrnined during
the canvass from personality and abuse of
private character. Our aim has been
higher and we believe it has been nobler.
A sincere desire to subserve the interests
of the entire territory, and not the ambi-
tious purposes of a clique which we de-
spise, has prompted all hat we have said
in our columns and stimulated us wherev-
err we have labored. And nov that the
