we were in earnest. They then dispatch
ed a committee Of three Of their leaders
with authority to effect a compromise If
possible ; and after some hard words and
harder swearing by our men, ~contending
that we had done nothing that we wished
to compromise for, it was finally arranged
that a committee Of three should be ap-
pointed to hear what the "sesehers''
wished to accomplish, and Col. P. A.
Thompson, Henry s. Hill, Of AtehisOn,
and John Lowell, of Holt, were selected
as such committee. After some swear
ing on their part, and a heap Of plain
talk upon ours, the enclosed article Of
agreement was drawn up. But when
written out and carefully read the enemy
concluded it would not do, and refused
to sign it as per agreement. The conse-
quence was, Col. Thompson arrested them
and put them under guard, where they
remained till near morning, when they
brought in a verdict Of acquiescence, and
asked that we send a committee of three
with them to camp, to see if their con-
stituents would confirm the act, which we
agreed to; the committee to return by s
o'clock, A. NJ. and punctually at the hour
they returned with the compromise signed.
We ascertained their number to be not

Mr.. Daily, responsible fer the portion OF
the tax required Of Nebraskam Says the
merchants of Peru-Daily's home-are
giving a pound Of, coffee for a bushel OF
wheat" and a deal more such datulent
stuff, the style Of which is peculiar TO
that editor. We hope the Nsrs will not
hold Mr. Daily accountable for the millions
of money and arms stolen by Cobb, Floyd,
& Co.-and we might refer, too, to the
arms stolen from Nebraska by old pollt-
ical- associates of his-toge ether with all
other acts committed BY these men, and
which have called for this direct tax in
order to crush out these traitors, and re-
store and preserve cur government. The
fact is, such GROWERS care very little
whether the country is saved or not; es-
Peclally do they feel so if any body but
themselves or any party but their own
are to be instrumental in any way in Its
being brought about.
The $4,000 required Of Nebraska, can
and will be paid, in our opinion, without
any trouble. OF all people, they Of the
Territories are under more obligations
than any other to contribute their mite.
They are sustained and protected by the
General Government, which annually
distributes more money in Nebraska than
is required to met an emergency upon
which depends our salvation. OF course
we do not mean that we can pay 1t in
addition to the taxes we are now paying.
As we have before stated, we believe oil
other taxes should be dispensed with
Again, there are many luxuries, vices,
and e~xtravagances, INDUCED in, that if
dispensed with, would enable us to pay
this tax. For instance: The money
spent annually in Nebraska, for tea, cof-
fee, sugar, tobacco, whisky and jewelry
will foot up six times the amount of tax
required in other words, to dispense
with any n of these items, we would
save enough to pay the direct tax.
Another plan is proposed by many-we
notice that the Press and Republican are
advocating it. That is, that the Legis'
l~ature, instead of consuming the 40 days
allowed to each session, meet and adjourn
and petition the Treasury Department al

portion of our Legislative fund in pay.
ment of our direct tax. This we consid'

House of Representatives when his state
passed the "Ordnance Of Secession" and
shed crocodile tears over the fact that it
was the last time he ever would be able
to draw five thousand dollars from the
General Government for his distinguish

Mr.. Cobb is known to be a secessionist,
or rather, he is known to believe exact
ly what JEFF Davis, Howell Cobb, and
Bill Yancy tell him, and what they say

no doubt that the same money the farm
ers Of Nebraska are paying to Hon. Mr..
Cobb is used for the purchase of arms,
and for provisioning, and equipping men
at the South who are engaged in treason
and rebellion towards the L. S. Govern
ment.
Let Mr.. Cobb contribute to the sup
port Of the Nebraska Volunteers, who
are protecting his interests and lands in
Nebraska, or else let the provisions Of
this bill be applied to his vast estate in
