Is it to be wondered at that grave
doubts should permeate the minds of cop
perheads as to the truth and honesty of
renegade Republicans We copy from
the Omaha Herald of the 18th:
"Who, then. aside from the Demo-
crats, uho are Johnson men TO a man. be-
long 10 the real constitution loving union
men in Nebraska? fire these officials
for him IN good faith, and do they in.
tend fighting his known enemies in the
coming campaign? While we know some
of them are acting in good faith, will
they aH?"
1--WE make these remarks in response
to what is being said respecting some
gentlemen who are charged with being
Johnson men for the sake of bread,and-
BUFFER
Poor delHded wretches Could they
not remember the reception which Bene-
dict Arnold met with from the British
and how Judas Iscariot longed to rid
himself of the evidence of his crime the
"thir,y pieces of SILVER" and saved the
country the exhibition Of characters so
contemplate as excite the disgust of
copperheads? Doubt them not, Miller
no one can afford to oyer-bid A. Johnson
for '.lick-spirles."

The lower house appointed Messrs.

rebels.
The report of the Democratic commit.
tee says : 1.-THE committee of the Ma
tiOnal Union Convention asks of US the
nomination of one of the two candidates
who should head the ticket for the pres
ent canvass Whereupon, the upper
story magnanimously gave the lower
story the privilege sought, provided The
lower portion of the outfit would
pledge itself TO stand by the nominees of
upper. The vote shows 81 for and IL
against such q concession,
Is This being Fsetlled. the upper house
passed resolutions approving of the prin.
pies, resolutions and address of the Ma.
tionaI Union johnson Convention, held
at Philadelphia on the l4.h of August,
''as being the only rue and Constitution
al course TO be pursued in the restoration
of this government" and
Rsselsed, That we as Democrats do
pledge our hues, our fortunes and our
sacred honor in maintaining the suprem-
.acy of The Constitution as being the fun
