than to observe the palpable change in
the tone of the Nebraskian Of week be-
fore last, and for once free from the yuh
gari,y and twaddle so emrhniically pecu-
liar to itself. Its tone for once has breath
ed q compliment fer which we might feel
grati6ed, if we did not understand the
object. Blu, though the language does per-
ceptibly change, the .piri, still remains,
~pIunging blindly onward, with the vain
and malicious hope Of communicating
where you dare penetrate.
No sooner do the scales fall from your
eyes, and a gentle rebuke creep in upon
you, staying for a moment the rapid dis
solution of a diseased spirit, ere the cam
ker worm prompts you TO rise like the
tabled Titan, with strength redoubled TO
your labors of disyrIc, AMI infimy.
How vainly idle are your paitry attempts
10 hurI back our weapons upon ourselves.
You charge US with "baseness and inde-
cency," who, for your wan,on offense to
delicacy, received the crushing rebuke Of
the Senate of the Territory. Do we say
rebuke 7 that alone, would insult that body,
who refused TO breathe the same atmos.
phere with yourself. Your Insignificant
charges are couched in an improved style
of speech, thus fastening the charge,
(Which you so shrewdly anticipated that
not one, but many seek the privacy Of
your sanctum f; if it were not so it would
be but another reason why we should pay
no heed to your simple aspiration; for in
that case we would know full we'll that
you have as yet had by far too little prac-
tice to improve in your mad attempt at
decency.
You have no desire to handy words
with puppies" We, with less assumed
dignity, and cmiheniIy far more fraternol
feeling, will not permit you to exercise
the one degraded and characteristic habi
of the canine tribe, without a parting
word. The word puppies savors much
of your former self, and former speech.
We think his Excellency, the President,
would find but little trouble in properly
interpreting the word. We think your
many schemes with nothing to recommend
them, but the model articles of your mod
ell paper, and their complete overthrow
and the final great Post Office dodge,
proves the truth of this assertion. Your
exacerbation having run away with your
reason. many have also affected your
memory. For your benefit we will re-
, vive it by SIMPLY calling to your mind The
, the numerous malignant articles in youl
paper which so justly provoked the indIg.
, nation and contempt of Mr.. Buchanan
thwarting your nicely pre-arrangec
Post Office scheme at Omaha.
Puppies" scoundrels," the base
and false" adorn your set phrase o.
: speech" in rare antithelical confusion
S all of which you violently, even mena'
: cingly claim the authorship of your as
~sertions we heed not, knowing them TO bt
the workings of q morbid imagination
= Were men to assure us we were " fals'
d and base" we would smile in scorn
then what grief must affect US when WI
d hear the mere say-so Of one who dar'
d not claim affinity with such.
Hon. T. b. CUMISG.-We regret OK

doubtful. A, the las, issue of our paper
III we were under the impression, and i
r fact were so advised by his friends fror
y Omaha at the time, hat he was rapid
~ recovering, and would soon resume tn
Ia duties of his office. Under that impress
De sion, we penned the article of last week
~ which we are free to admit, under tn
G. circumstances, appear harsh and unfee

lis the wounds of hearts already bleedin:
or to make light of the ills and woe
a which aflict humanity whenever Prov
