COPPERHEAD GLORY.

into the hands of the sccessioniSts and
copperheads. We knew full well that
the great mass Of the people were loyal
and that their opposition was based upon
other grounds than political ones. Some,
and they composed the great majority,
VOTED AGAINST the Constitution because of
the minc-taxing clause. Another, smaller,
but still numerous faction, liked the Con-
stitution well enough as a Constitution,
and were a, heart in favor of State Gov
ernment. They, however, disliked the
ticket nominated by the Union Conven-
ton, and preferred to defeat the Constisu-
ton and remain under Territorial Gov
eminent, rather than adopt q State Gov
eminent under the proposed officers. The
day for talking about the propriety or I'M
propriety of that policy has passed. We
have done with that question. The "after-
clap" however, of copperhcad glee. has
come. Just exactly as we predicted that it
would inevitably come. The Constitution
as framed BY the Convention was gall and
NORWOOD to the lips, and bitter in the
belly of the Internal traitor gang i'll our
midst, and their vcnomous confrcres on
the other side of the Sierras. Their damna-
bic hatred of the patriotic provisions Of
that instrument, they dared not openly
avow, lest honest men and good patriots
who were opposed to it on conscientious
grounds might shrink from the accused
and loathsome alliance, and adopt the
Constitution with all its objections rather
than be associated with open and avowed
rebels and traitors. The crafty copper
heads kept their own dark counsel, and
made but little display of their hostility
to the Constitution. They damned it in
their innermost souls and prayed earnest
" for It's destruction. They saw that the
element of discord had entered into the
ranks of the Union party, and that the
loval and anti-rebel Constitution was
Being slaughtered by the loyal men them
selves. They saw these dissatisfied Union
men doing the work which they under
their black rebel banner could never have
accomplished. The thing was done. The
Constitution was slaughtered by men,
whom to call copperheads would be a
calumny and wrong. The consumma-
ton so earnestly desired by the rebel gang
has been brought about; and now from
the East and the West, from North and
South, comes up from the rebel gang n
mighty shout of joy and loud shout of
Victory. The petty, paltry gang that
during the campaign sung so ex-
eeeding small, and never let a whisper
of their treason faint the air, now burst
into a loud and ringing "ha! Nd -
of triumph.
Here is yell number one, from that
blatant organ of vilest treason, the Marys-
Vile Erpress-a name that stinks in the
nostrils of every loyal American citizen /:
By such returns as have been received, no
doubt is left that the abomiaable Nevada
Constitution, which was left to vote of the
people on Tuesday last, has been defeated by
n large majority. Right glad are we to hear
this. All manner Of means were reSorted 70

down the threats of the people, but all to no
avail. The Abolition party succeed well in
tearing down and destroying, but they never
will be successful in building up State or
Nation. The work will be reserved Scr the
tried and true Democracy. They have been
faithful during prosperous years of the past,
and will vet so prove themselves during sea-
sons of the future.
Then comes ste he :" and giggle from
the Aurora Times, but that paper is of no
earthly account, and what it says is of no
consequence to anybody, and is not worth
quoting.

too, in the name of the raScally left wing
of Jeff.'s army, claims some credit for

and toots his toy trumpet in the chorus Of
victory. Listen to the voice, of the
charmer:
PRoPERLY REBCKED.-In the staggering
defeat of Roundhead Constitution, prepared
for Democratic people by Inscriptions pol
icians in Nevada, a.wholesome lesson has
been taught. Believing that such inroads
had been made on old fashioned ideas among
liberty loving people, that the Republican
sentiment among white Americans had been
so tempered with that they arc prepared to
take down any nauSeating and poisonous
political draught prepared for them by the
willy, the black tricksters in Nevada eoncoct-
ed an anti-American Constitution, and the
peopie-God bless their souls gave it such
a defeat at the late election as to aStonish
even the strongest opponents OF that political
iniquity. The Nevada Constitution died at
the soyereigns' hands, because Of too much
imbecility, African and taxation.
Doubtless when white constitution is pre-
pared for the citizens Of Nevada, as it viii be
before long, the people will ratify it.
And again, farther on:
Our folks put it up to help slaughter that
free nigyer Constitution, and may be they
didn't succeed! "0h, mo-"
Enough How does that kind of praise
and patting on the back suit the loyal
men of this Territory, who in a spirit Of
supposed economy, or personal spite
against the Union ticket, helped to cook
the dainty feast over which these avowed
trea ,on-mongers are thus gloating and
gorging themselves
