Some one has said that no nation can
be truly great. that has not Cody rulers.
As that portion Of our nation known -
Kanas, has just decided. BY the vote OF
her people. that she will hsvs jim Lane
for her Senator, Member Of Congress.
Governor. Legislature, and Supreme
Court. thus making him emphatically
and exclusively her ruler, We must en-
desvor to determine to what degree Of
greatness she has thsreby attained. BY
calculating the probable amount Of God
illness possessed BY said ruler. We be-
lieve the Twelve Comm msndmsnts and the
Golden Role embrace everything calcula-
ted to make men Cody; therefore. we
must ascertain how near be comes to fll-
| ing their requirements.
| l. "Thou shalt have no other Gods
before me-"
Jim Lane has set himself up as God.
2. Thou shalt not bow down to gra-
ven images"
/ Power and Lust are what Jim Lane
worships.
! 8. "Thou shalt not take the name ol
the Lord thy God in vsin."
Let those tell who have ever heard
Lane make speech. or talk when angry
| 4. Remember the Sabbath day, te
keep it holy"
Does Lane ever consider the day. wher
be wishes to crafty his lust, or engage ir
political rascality?
l 8. "Honor thy father and thy moth
er."
A man who fslsi6es the history Of hi'
father and mother, in order to es
tablish untruths, cannot be said to hono1
them thereby.
6. "Thuu shalt not kill"
Ask the widow and orphans of Gaiu
I. Jenkins.
I. "Thou shalt not commit adul
terry"
Ask squaws. wenches. prostitutes, snt
loose women of every age. nation ant
; color. whose name is legion.
. 2. "Thou shalt not steal"
Remember Osceols. II send yo'
. $500 in gold. and some dust. Do no
let any one know you have it; you nigh
be robbed r. a.
9. "Thou shalt not bear false witnes
. against thy neighbor."
Ask Gov. Robinson, Gov. Carney, o
any other public man who has incurre
his enmity. - -I ~ ena 81

soon became evident that be would fail

quite evident that he would be elected.

port of the disaffected. and of receiving
large vote from the Lane party, espe-
cially in the nsighborhood Of the Lane
candidate. whsre he had many friends,
came out as an independent. Final
ly an arrangement was made for both tc
withdraw, but too late to benefit the new
candidate. who, although good man

By this mismanagement, the party wa'
discouraged and disorgsnizsd, and thu

men in addition to the former call for
SoO.00O-so that the conscrip'ion which
she peopl, have been looking forward 10
with some dread and no pleasure, is now
definitely and peremptorily ordered for
the 10Th of March. The following was
Issued at Washington, February 1st:
ORDERED, That draft for five hun
dred thousand men, to serve three years
or during the var be made on the 1Oth
day Of March next, for the military ser
vice Of the United States, crediting and
dsduc,ing therefrom so many as may
have oeen enlisted or drafted into the SER
vice prior TO the first day Of March, and
not heretofore credited
(Signed ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Il is said that this order caused the
greatest excitement in Washington, and
gave rise to the usual variety Of specula>
tioas in regard to it Among the wild
vumors prevalent, is one .hat startling in
formation has been received by the Gov
eminent which is 10 the effect that the
wholesale conscription Of the rebels is
rapidly filing up their depleted armies,
and placing them upon strong war
footing. The receipt Of this news is said
70 have caused the order for the draft
without further delay.
The following is Issued from the Adju-
tant Generals Office:
Recruits will be credited to the local..
ties from which they have received local
bounsies, provided the muster-in rolls show
them enlisted and mustered in as of said
localities The muster in rolls must show
the facts Of the case. and will be evidence
for awarding credits.
Veteran. in service re enlisting will be
ere Ii,e,l to localities 10 which re~enlSi-
ments and muster-in rolls showed them As
belonging Therefore until the veterans
have bean re mustered, 1t cannot he de-
termned to what particular locality they
will be credited.
