The Constitutional Convention met in
Omaha on the 4lb. and after organizing,
adjourned suddenly BY a vote Of 81 10 6.
we understand that ONT. delegates voted
against an adjournment which fact is
pleasant as the copperheads with a

glory of having defeated STATE Govern
mene Where are the COPperh sads
Not in Nemahs, surely.
What have The cOPperheads. then, sue
Cseded in cejOling their Republican
friendsp into:
First a resistance TO the draft; the
main argument used was "if we have a
State wen have q draft"
Second, they have assisted to defeat
the Constitutional Amendment, to pass
which the vote of three members of Con.
gfess from Nebraska was necessary to
carry; which the copperheads style as one
Of the presidents Infamous projectss''

Third, they have virtually said to the
Government; We are mean enough TO
force you 20 support US while we know
ysuy need every dollar you can scrape to
wbipOufGthe rebellion yes, wen hang
on and thus assist the rebels by taking
from you a portion, Of your means for
carrying on the war But still this same

Now 5hat this thing is pas, we would
ask these Republican friends" are you
aware whittier you are drifting7 Are
you aware that you have by this act ad-
ded strength to the back bone of the cop
psrhead in this Territory Does your
mind feel entirely easy over this intimate
association Of what you style your inte-
rest with copperheads (?
The cOpperheads made a great blow
about the amount of money that would
be saved to the Territory by an immedi-
ate adjournment of the Convention. The
facts are these instead of there being
only $4,000 un~expended money due the
Territory, it is at least S23 900 as we
are Informed by one Of our returned
Delegates that Secretary Paddock stated
peblicly that he had that amount ready
to defray the expenses of the Convention,
and that without touching a dollar of the
appropriation for the next session Of the
Legislature This money, we understand,
cannOl be diverted for any other purpose
than Legislative expenses, unless by
special act of Congress, which was done
in the enabling act. Kind reader, what
has been saved to the Territory?
