The money of the ADMINISTRATION, poured

votes might be added to the purchase By

to perpetuate It's power,' and then while
they commend a"the independent and
trely patriotic members of the Republi-
can and other parties, who lent Us their
aid to th8art these purposes Of ~unequaled
infamy, it must be remembered hat the
plan by which these inestimable benefits
are assured to Us was conceived, carried
forward and accomplished BY the Demo
cracy of Nebraska"
= How do you like the company you are
in Mr.. independent aud patriotic Re-
publican 2" And what areEhese purposes
of unequal infamy" which you have
assisted these "draft hating" Democrats
In thwarting! A draft, and the perPet-
-udsiOn of the present Administration are
the main points which please the Democ-
racy. This "draft'' argument has been
used quite extensively by the Democracy
against State Organization, and a more
pusillanimous, sneaking and contempti.
be apprehension we have rarely seen.
These copperheads hate the draft be-
cause theyhate the Administration, which
they would do all in their power to Grip
pie they hate the Administration be-
cause it is in favor Of vigorous prosecu-
ton Of thAwar, which they would thwart
if possible'by Sinking a draft. II Gov
eminent needs men, and our quota Is not
full, we hope they viii draft here wheth-
er this remains a Territory or becomes a
State; and farther we hope hat some Of
this Democracy may be caught ia the
draft, and the Communication act abolished.
= We do not wish TO Hthwart'' the Dem
Ocracy in their glory Of defeating this
proposition of unequaled nfamy;" bat
the joke in all this is that A. H. Jackson,
editor Of the Democratic organ at 0ma-
ha, and a member Of Tie Convention, IN
troduced into the Council, last winter, a
memorial to Congress-, stating chat in
the judgement Of your memorlalists, the
people Of said Territory desire the form
alton, Of a State Government" which
was passed, sentt % Washington, the result
was the Enabling Act, which the Demo
crazy claim-with the assistance of their
"truly patriotic Republican" friendsAto
have defeated and now style that. which
was granted at the ihstigaiiOn of one Of
Aheir leaders, an runequalsd infsmyp-
Cool! decidedly cOOllr
The next resolution Is decidedly the
most sneskingly pettyfogging. They
resolve that they have heard with aston
ishmeni thai certain Federal Office hold
ers in this Territory, propose to
force 1.-The burden Of qState Government
upon this people BY cunningly devised
oaihs to be administered 70 the Conyen-

The Convention "deemed it unneces-
sary," to express their sentiments" up
on political questions not especially affect
ing Nebraska they doubtless have some
sentiments on other issues, doubtless ;
But still they ought not to have entirely
forgotten "poOr Vallandingham'' the
"mar.yr." This was "the unkindest cut
Of all"
