For Assembly
Resolutions adopted by the Union
State Convention of Nevada,
January LIST, 1864.

We, the members Of the Convention of Union
men of Nevada Territory believing that il is 4
matter of vital importance that the Government
of the future State of Nevada should be admin
isterrd by men Of large capacity, unbendng in
tegrity and unquestiOned patriotism, and that II
Ia the boun6eu dnty OF every citizen TO sustain
at all times and particularly ut this time Of our
cnnntry's peril, the Government of the United
States and It's legally constituted authorities,
against all opposers, whether ut home or abroad,
we therefore resolve
LIST That the Union party affirms its devoted
loyalty to the Government Of the United States
of America
Cd. That the Union party Of Nevada stands
true To the country all the time, and bids eternal
defiance TO the rebellion and all It's supporters
hackers allies, sympathizers and friends
81 That thanks to the God Of battles and the
immortal valor of our national arms. the war is
success; that It must never cease until the SUI
preme authority Of the Government shall be fully
established throughout the borders Of the repub-
lie. and our flag floats in peace and triumph over
every State.
Ith That inasmuch Is the national ainlinistra
ton Is the executive representative OF the Gov

wolves the duty of preserving the integrity OF the
Federal Union. and enforcing the laws throughout
our entire public domain, and inasmnch AS this
duty cannot be successfully performed without
the cordial support of the prople OF the loyal
States we therefore pledge tn the support of the
Federal Administration, our united aid IN sup
pressing the present infamous rebellion, and en-
forcing the laws. at whatsoever sacrifice OF blood
and treasure, declaring that the Federal Union
SHALL not be dissolved. or that the old flag shall
NEVER be lowered in the face Of the Union's foes.

NOT IN THE FIELD.

The Aurora Times of January 9Th has
the following:
We WANT NO TIcKET.-We are pleased
to learn that it is not the intention of the
democratic party to run a ticket for State or
county officers at the approaching election in
this Territory. This we conceive to be the
proper course. The issue before the people
now is not of a political character. Some
Years to come, when We shall have increased
in wealth and population, it will be time
enough to form political parties and assume
the burdens Of State Government.
The foregoing, being interpreted, reads
as follows: ave are pleased to perceive
that what few secessionists and their SYM
pathizers there are in this Territory have
got enough wit not to raise their black
flag at the approaching contest, when a
sweeping and overwhelming defeat would
be the inevitable result. This We con-
cciye to be the proper course. The issue
now before the people is not of political
character. Let us harp upon that point.
Some years to come, when peace is re-
stored, and when in the public Joy at that
restoration, old treason and copperhead-
ism are forgotten, if not forgiven. it viii
be good time to sneak in and obtain, il
possible, the control OF the Government
we failed to destroy"
If anybody in the Territory can inter-
pref the article in the Times more correct
ly than we have done, We will resign, and
admit that we can't read copperheadism
in " long primer"

An EXCELLENT LAw-The San Francis
CO Euening Journal says that bill has
been drafted, by one who has had much ex-.
perience in Legislation, and is also veteran
lawyer, that win be presented to the Legisla-
ture, and its passage urged. The bill pro-
yides that in all criminal cases where the
defense set up or relied upon is kleptomania,
monomania, or any insanity whatever, it
shall be the duty Of the jury, judge, or court,
before whom such person may be tried, in
case the accused be found not guilty, to spe-
city IN the verdict, finding, or Judgment las
the case may beg, whether the accused be or
be not acquitted on the ground of insanity,
and in every case where the acquittal is on
the ground of kleptomania, monomania, or
any kind ofinsanity whatever, the same shall
be conclusive evidence that the accused is
insane, and thereupon the court before whom
such accused person be tried shall make an
order that such person be sent to and re-
ceived into the insane Asylum, and dealt
with the same as though sent there by order
of Probate Judge, under the usual COM
mission. This bill ought to become law.
Rasche and the scores of others who have
perpetrated their crimes, and escaped under
this specious and multiform plea, 10 continue
to harrass the community with their depre-
dations, is sufficient argument Of the pro-
priety of such law.

THE SOUTH AND IT'S SLAvEs.-By the end
of the present year there will be something
like fifty thousand negroes in the Federal
army. II any blinded sympathizer with the
rebellion has hitherto failed to foresee the in
eyitable issue of the contest, this single fact
ought to be enough to open his eyes. 1t has
been impossible in the nature of things, for
slavery, as an institution, to survive the war.
The fact scarcely discernible at first, has be-
come manifest, as the exigencies of the strug-
gle laid bare its intrinsic cause, and invoked
new agencies for its prosecution. The fifty
thousand negroes in the Union army have
chiefly been recruited from the enemy's coun-
try. The fact is creating alarm at the South.
The Rebels are driving their slaves from the
vicinity of our lines, to prevent the enlistment
Of them into the Union ranks. The conse-
qoenee is blacks are crowded into lower Ala
bama, Georgia, and South Carolina, where
they deyour the food produced in those cir
cumscribed districts, and thus bring up the
danger Of starvation. This state of things
cannot long last. The Rebels will be conf
PEELED to resort to the humiliation Of arming
their own slaves, or giving up the struggle.
To arm their slaves would be to change the
entire character Of the war for the war was
begun to preserve slavery, and for slaves to
fight for slavery would be an impossibility.
To arm slaves, is to give up slavery; and
when the Rebels take this repulsive step, it
will be proof that they see and admit what
the whole world long ago perceived and point
ed out, that the war must bring with 1t the
end Of slavery.

PoLrr1c1ASs. = OF all the sickening
played out, disgusting. overdone and silly
clap-traps, with which from time immemo-
rial old sore-b backed hacks have sought to
gull the people, is the cry Of politicians, |"
politicians" 1t might m these latter
days come with a good enough grace from
some man who had ever, in the course Of
his life, done single hours manual Ia
Dor, ever made years board and wash
bill in his practice at the bar, at the work
bench, or behind the counter, or had ever
depended upon anything else than the
fees and salaries Of Office for his bread
and butter. But when those who have
throughout their whole majority been
clothed, fed and kept in whisky out Of
the public treasury, make this cutlery
about politicians" it is enough to sicken
dog, and rotten egg seems to be loudly
called for. This was the whole burden Of
song at the meeting last night. For Jim,
Buchanan's appointee and Charley Bryan
to be denouncing politicians is very heavy
very rich. As for the "unkempt"
Claggett, we don't know anything about
him, and never expect to hereafter. but if
he is not trying his ayaIlerest'' to be a
politician, he had better take IN his sign.

COMING BACK INTO THE FoLD.-The San
Francisco Call, abiding to the recent free
State movements, says: I" While the politi-
cal theorists and hair-splitters are wasting
ink over the question of 'Reconstruc-
tion,' or Restoration the loyal people of
the Southern States, inside our lines, are
practically resolving it for themselves. A
dispatch elsewhere announces what is now so
swimmingly going on to that end IN
the State of Louisiana. We are told that
abe friends of the Free State movement are
actively registering their names as voters
under the call of the Governor, and already
more than sufficient names have been en-
rolled to hold an eledtion in accordance with
the terms Of the Presidents Proclamation.
1t would not therefore be surprising to find
Louisiana knocking at the doors Of Congress
before the present session has expired. The
admission Of the delegation from Louisiana
will Of course form ID precedent for the ad-
mission Of Congressman from other seeded
States; and Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkan-
sas, and North Carolina will come in in the
order named, perhaps all before the expira-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln's term of Office. Who
knows what effect in the same direction
the military genius Of Grant may provoke
before many months, in Alabama and Geor-
gia what the shells and intrepedity of Gil
more, in South Carolina what the energy Of
Banks and the latent Uuion element of Texas
in the Lone Star State; aye, even what the
ill-starred Army Of the Potomac in Virginia
during the next campaign! The prospect is
indeed not so gloomy as some may suppose.
The work is going on surely, even if appa-
rently somewhat slowly; but the time will
come, when the great question Of Recon-
struction will be solved on practical basis
of the return to the Union of all the Sway
ward sisters"

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.
JAMES W. NYE
AND
HENRY EDGERTON.
RICH. RARE AND RACY.

The Anti Constitution sore-heads are
hard-up for orators, teachers and oracles,
when they have to call on and send forth
such specimens as those that they sent
down here last night. 1t is not exactly
what one might call complimentary to the
good sense, the memory and the historical
recollection of our people, nor to their
political faith, to suppose that one Of old
Jimmy Buchanan's pet lambs would
be regarded as prophet and his words
listened to as voice from the gods. The
history of Kansas, and the rascality per-
petrated in and about the purlieus Of Le-
compton, have made the name a stencil in
the nostrils of the free people Of the
United States, and that much good can
come out of that Nazareth they win
strongly doubt. 1t will not do to place
Kansas before this people as an example
either to follow or to shun. There is no
similarity between the two Territories that
admits of comparison being drawn. The
people of Nevada are bona -fde settlers of
the country, who came here of their own
vohtion. They were neither sent here BY
Emigrant Aid Societies, nor came as armed
rufians of the border to burn, murder and
lay waste. The proposition to change the
form Of government was made by the peo-
pie themselves, and was not Matched by
an infamous President, a corrupt cabinet,
or slave oisarchy ; nor carried into effect
by horde of political pimps of the enc
mics Of the freedom Of their country and
of humanity. The history of Kansas is
. foul blot and stain upon that of the ma
non, and it Ill becomes those who were
the tools of James Buchanan In the infa-
nous transactions Of that time and place,
to stand up before the people of another
country in the character of advisers and
eounsellors worthy of confidence and
trust. Were there no other objection than
the odor of old Buchanan's rottenness.
that hangs around such men, that of itself
would damn them. But when it is con-
sidered that the party has hardly been in
the country long enough to change the
dirty shirt with which he did that old
squirting traitors dirty bidding, the i'm
pudence Of this seE-cons6tuted teacher
Of the people is most awe-inspiring. If
this Buchananite had, at the time of lcay-
ing his home and starting for California,
never, as he AYERS. heard of this country,
save IN a humorous sketch written by Ross
Browne, in Harper's Magazine, he is too
big an ignoramus to be entitled to much
respect; and If otherwise, he told q silly
story which could lave only been intended
to tickle the ears Of crowd of ilhterate
Doors. Such were his constituents and
his admirers in Kansas, but such are not
the people of washoe. The days of James
buchanan and Lecompton are past forever
and their prophets are without honor m
this country.

change Of Government. Let there be more
public meetings to oppose the State Govern
ment, and let the speakers be honest and
frank enough Qike Claggctt, of Humboldt)

rial Legislature As the people are reading

excellent provisions, they need no instruction

ex-Governors of James Buchanan's Admin
istration speak to the people!

WHAT JEFF HoLDs.-The New FORK Her
aid of December 9th, has the following en-
couraging survey Of Jeff's dominions BY
Longstreet's failure we see the rebellion
compelled to relinquish its final hold upon
the last grand outpost by which it might
have retnined control over the interior and
held the upper country that forms so grand
part Of tho Southern States. Now it is re-
stricted to the belt that follows the line of the
Atlantic from Richmond to Mobile, shut up
between the mountains and the sea, fanked
on the one hand by the Alaghany and Cum
berland Mountains, that bristle with North
ern bayonets, on the other by the OCEAN, that
teens with Northern gunboats. Its present
territory is represented by the three points OF
Richmond, Charleston and Mobile. Such a
country is inevitably weak at every point,
and while it hardly possesses sufficient depth
for natural cohesion, it will doubtless soon
be demonstrated that it possesses but little
power of resistance.

"CAP'N RICE HE GIN A TREAT "a
horse-opera affords a considerable amount Of
fun if seen once in while, that is, provided
there is a good clown in the ring. Charley
Bryan, just about as funny cuss as we
know Of in this Territory, was the first
speaker at the Anti Constitution meeting, at
Vesey's Hall, last night. He related anec-
dotes for the space of one hour and a half, to
the edifcation of the whole audience, who
laughed as heartily as they ever did at
the jests and jokes OF "Frenchy," the
clown in Lee 4 Marshall's Circus. Charley
is natural born Mr.. Merryman-and Con-
situations are not his L" forte" any more than
"playing boss" is that of Artemus Ward.
