LOOKOUT FOR FRAUDULENT
One Of the tricks of the ~Copperhead
party, on election day, is to get hold OF
regular Union tickets, and to paste print
ed names of the opposition over those
l~egitimately on the ticket. We warn
every member Of the Union party to look
out for those dishonest tricks, and to ex-
anime well their tickets before voting.
The only possible show for the Copper
heads Of Storey county to elect q single
candidate, is by cheating the regular Union
nominees in the way above indicated.
TRUE WORDS FROM A PEN1TENT
Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, and
formerly of Mr.. Buchansn's Cabinet, in a
letter written from Dublin, says, speaking
of the United States, whose Government
he so wsntonly assaulted, There is 10
other such country in the world; I have
visited every kingdom and people which
have any position among the nations Of
the earth, and with the intention, il ever
I could find an acceptable place, to settle
down and gather my little family around
me, and there in quiet spend the remnant
Of my days; but I find no place in which
I am willing to leave my family. No.
For good or evil, the best country is the
United States"
It was ignorance Of other lands and
other governments which permitted SO
many Southern men to be so ready to rise
in revolt against their own. Those Amer
leans who have travelled most, and seen
the practical workings Of other institu-
tons, will be most assured that there 10
nothing else like our Constitution in all
the earth aud all history. 1t grew out Of
the felt inconvenience Of separate States,
with Earring interests clashing and colli-
ding, and the strong desire to franc q
Government which, while it would cure
their evils, would at the same time leave
local self. government still under the con-
troll Of the States. In France, the mon
archy originally grew out Of this. In
Germany. the Prussian monarch has just
consolidated %duksdoms, principalities and
kingdoms-most unjustly, perhaps, so far
as his own augmentation Of power is con-
cerned, but most necessarily SO far as the
wants Of society are involved. Now in
the formation Of our Constitution there
was no injustice to any State or individ-
ual. The equal rights Of all, and the good
will Of all, were sought and secured to
this our form Of National Government,
and yet it has proved strong enough, after
seventy years of unquestioned sway, to
repel the assaults Of the most formidable
revolt in nations in q most triumphant
manner, and to command the respect Of
all the WorlQ Desloe.
In like manner our Constitution was
based upon the most profound study Of
the history Of all former governments.
Those of Greece and Rome were critically
studied. So also were the history Of the
Hebrews, the Constitution Of the Christian
Church, and all its various forms Of
Church government, the struggles OF hber-
ty in England, with the fullest apprecia-
ton Of the causes Of it's revelations, both
that of 1913 and that Of 1888. The re-
suits of all the wisdom and the forces set
in motion by past ages had helped to pro-
duce the Declaration Of Independence, and
then helped to form that instrument, the
full effect of which 10 only now just be-
ginning to be felt BY the nations Of the
world.
In the new volume Of Bancroft's His
tory Of the United States-ths ninth vol
ume, now publishing-there is . section
devoted to the effects produced on Europe
by the publication Of the Declaration Of
Independence-ons Of the most important
sections Of the whole, and one that could
not have been written ten years ago, as it
can be now.
Mr.. Jacob Thompson was a man Of high
influence and personal reputation for
intelligence and honor before the late
war. As one Of the trustees Of the Uni;
versity Of Mississippi, he had almost un-
bounded control in the management Of
its affairs, and raised it, by the support
he gave to all tho measures proposed
BY its President, to tho high stand 1t
was beginning to take in the south-wsst.
His hostile influence in the Cabinet was
well known, and 90 are the depths Of
treason into which he allowed himself to
plunge. When such = man pays . tri-
butte like this to the country on which he
made war, and which bafled all his aims,
II may serve to show what the next gen.
Grafton will say in regard to all that has
most tried US Of late years; and 1t is to be
hoped and believed that in thirty or forty
years the descendants Of those who have
engaged in this wal will be the most zeal.

ton which gives to all the right to travel
unmolested, to buy and sell, and claim in
every other State as equal protection with
the natives Of tina, Stats-a Constitution
which embraces the sovereignty Of the
people and the individual power Of the
States in local self-govsrnment to the
greatest possible degree, with the suprsm-
acy Of the whole nation as q unit-a Con.
stitution which must and will hereafter
form the example from which the nations
Of the world will learn the importance Of
q proper sort Of International constitution
and system Of international laws.
