The Dundy case,

We have not heretofore, nor do we
intend now or hereafter to participate II
the general wrangle over the matter Be,
tween Mr.. Dundy and Mr.. Fleming. We
have already expressed over belief in re-
gard 10 the half breed land point, and
are prepared to s~ubstantiate our views il
need be. Ia another column we publish
the remarks Of Mn. TIprov- They are
brief, but certainly cover the ground.
Inregard to the contest between Elem.
ming and Dundy for a seat in the coun-
Gil, we learn that the report Of the ma
joriiy against the claim Of Fleming was
submitted BY Mr.. Upton. By that re-
port which is to be a part of the journals
Of the Council it appears that on account
Of illegal votes cast for Fleming, the
committee was Of the opinion that Dun
dy was entitled to bis seat. These in
cluded votes at Rulo precinct, where two
of the Judges Of he election and one Of
the clerks were not residents Of the pre-
cinct, also many votes cast by persons
who were not residents Of the precincts
where they voted, and by numerous per-
sons who were not qualified to vote any
where according to law and the Organic
e Nr.l~.-Lo
After the contestants had taken their
testimony, and both had appeared before
the Council and the committee had com
menced to examine The case, unbeknown
to the Council and The committee, Mr..
Fleming left for Richardson county to
take more testimony, having served a
notice on Dundy of no legal force.
With this testimony taken before no
legal tribunal, and by no order Of the
Council, be returned; whereupon Mr..
Dundv made affidavit that he never en-
ployed any person to appear for him in
taking the testimony, and fled a motion
with the committee for its rejection. The
committee entertained the motion and re-
iected the additional evidence. The ques-
lion was then settled upon the testimo-
ny taken by the parties according to the
law governing contests.
On adopting the majority report the
vote was a tie. and the same occurred with
the report Of the minority. So that Dun
dy being in he could not be ousted and
Fleming beng out, he could not be ad-
mitted. Fleming raised the Half breed
question, and in reply to the arguments
Of his friends, Mr.. Upton made his
speech. In the House the question was
up in the case of Acton, snd was decided
against the reservation.
The Legislature unanimously memoir
ialized Congress 10 take action on the
subject of the reservation. and settle the
question. This was done on the pre-
senption Of a resolution by Mr.. Upton.

Government Appropriations.

We learn, by a private letter from a
friend, who has recently spent a few
weeks in Washington, hat our indsfati-
gable Delegate, Mr.. DAILY, is leaving
no stone %unlurned, that he may, if posi-
bic, obtain appropriations for this Terri
tory. we are free to say, however, that
we consider it unreasonable to expect
anything under existing circumstances.
Not from any want Of interest, devotion,
industry and perseverance on the part Of
our Delegate but from the fact that the
governments has no money to give. There
is really not money sufficient in the na-
tional treasury TO pay of members Of
Congress. The present corrupt admins
traiion has squandered and stolen the
peoples money, until the treasury is en-.
iirely depleted. Future Developments
viii doubtless show where most Of il has
gone. Ishus been, and is now being used,
10 overthrow the government by the trail
tors who seek its destruction.

The Traitors.

MM..
sAs we remarked ina previous article
upon the real causes Of existing national
difficulties, the South Carolina traitors nc.
longer claim that the election Of Lincoln
is the cause Of their actions. The follow
ing extracts we make from speeches made
in the South Carolina Convention:
bMr. Packer, speaking of secession,
said sItis no spasmodic effort that has
cone suddenly upon us, but it has been
gradually eliminating for a long series Of
ysRrs.p
ssMr. Ingles said "Most Of us have had
this subject uader consideration for the
last twenty years"
Mr.. Keit said 81 have been engaged
in this movement ever since 1 entered
political ffe."
Mr.. Rhett SAID; at is nothing produ-
ced by LincoIn's election, or the non-exe-
cution Of the fugitive slave law. II is a
matter which has been gathering head
for thirty years. And he further said !:
I'VE are about to sunder our relations
with the North, and / trust forever"
On another occasion. Mr.. Rhett said !:
'sThe federal laws, laying axe on the
people of South Carolina, have fallen this
day, and. so far as we are concerned, fall
len forever"
DO such men, who confess that they
have long been ~concocling conspiracy to
oEerturn the governments IF these United
States, want confessions or compromises?
The causes hitherto alleged are mere pre-
texts, They want no compromises no
Union.
If compromises or concessions would
satisfy heal difficulties, restore peace,
and perpeiua,e the Union, the North,
with is practical and accustomed devo-
tedness 70. and love for, the country,
would not be found tagging. But the
feet is they are not desired, nor would
they be accepted By those who are max
jug The trouble. Hence it is nonsense 10
talk about them nOw. Would the Union
lowing men in the South hurl from posi-
tiOns their traitorous leaders, and place
in their stead those who would listen &c
reason, then we might talk Of concessions
aud compromises but not until then. AT
che proper time, and when concessions
are asked not au,horatitively demanded.

years, and, while watching his progress.
have been gruliied at bis success, and
the more convinced Of his craftsmanship.
His career 10 Congress has been charac-
terized BY sound practical devotion to the
true interests Of the whole country. His
intimate connection with our postal az
fairs, and the arduous duties be has per-
formed, has perhaps given him a more
accurate and practical knowledge Of that
branch Of our government than any other
man in the party. No man, therefore,
could with more propriety be rendered
the position Of Postmaster General. In
fact, if there is any such thing as men
having @clairss for position, Schuyler Col
fax has strong claims for that Office
Nebraska advertiser., 1861-01-31

Just now, aud for some months past, a
great TODD is, and has been, made by Sc
esssiorists-aBd in fact, most northern
sdemocrats-in regard 10 the Personal Ii
= bsrty laws found upon The statute books Of
most northern States. The fact IS, they
ssee III existence to-day in majority Of the
States, North and South. Those in the
North were generally passed before the
Fugitive Slave law was in existence, and
could NOT, therefore. have been adopted
with the view Of interfering with that
law. The very Objectionable ones, in the
North. coming into existence since the
Fugitive Slave law, we're passed after
laws found a place on southern statute
books prohibiting the freedom Of speech
ard Of the press on the subject Of Afri-
can slavery. The following is a synopsis
Of The Personal Liberty law now in exis-
fence ia the slale Of Virginia:
cit snacIs that any person, conceiving
himself as unlawfully detained as a slave,
Is a~uihorized 10 sue for freedom. Such
person, during The pendsncy Of the sui:,
must be kept in custody at the expense Of
the person claiming 10 be the owner Or
che claimant may take the custody of such
person on girihg bonds, Of double the
taiue of the pentioner-one thousand
dolIars-by the Fugitive Slave law, to
have him fSvthcoming on trial. Counsel
Is assigned he petitioner by the State to
prosecute his suit. and he is allowed free
Of cost, all needful process, services Of
officers and attendance of witnesses. The
tait has precedence Of all other cases on
The docket Of the court, oil formaliiies Of
pleading are waived, and the question Of
ffeed0m or slavery is to be tried by a
jury. If the petitioner obtains a verdict
ID his favor. be is declared free, and the
claimant is mulcted in damages and
c0sts.N
Is there anything wrong IN such lawsl
We think not. And yet, if the courts
decide that such laws on northern statute
books, conflict with, or interfere with the
Fugitive Slave law, or any other law Of
Congress and their repeal viii in the
least heal existing difficulties, we, for
one say, repeal them by all means.
