TENNESSEE ADMITTED.
We publish to-day the dispatch an
nouncing the passage through the San
ate of the restoring Tennessee to her
former position in the Union, thus
branding as a falsehood the oft repeat
ed assertion that Congress would not
.admit the States lately in rebellion to
participate m the government, but de
sired to retain them as conquered prov
inces. Congress is just as anxious for
their restoration as they are to be re
stored; but proposes that before they are
allowed to take an active part in our
national affairs, they shall give some
guarantee that the scenes cf the past
five years will not be re-enacted again
in a hurry. The adoption of the Con
stitutional amendment lately submitted
! by Congress is considered by that body
as a sufficient evidence of their inten
tion te abide the decision rendered by
the resort ' to arms, and consequently
Tennessee is restored to her former
position. Is there a loyal man who
would consent to their restoration on a
less guarantee?
ADJOURMEXT OF C02VGRES8.
A concurrent resolution has beea
passed that Congress will adjourn on
the 25ih inst., when the Republican
members will go home and present the
' issue between the two parties for the
fall campaign. . The real, issue is cn
the ) adoption of the Constitutional
amendment ; and we think the Johnson
Democratic Conservati ve-rebel-elevat-iDg
party will have a hard row to hoe
to convince the loyal masses that this
amendment ehould not be ratified and
become a part, of, the Constitution.
FENIAN RESOLUTIONS. j
The Fenians of Chicago held n
meeting recently, at which delegates
were present from every circle in the
city. They passed a series of resolu
tions which have the true ring, and
show conclusively that the Irish Amer
icans are awakening to a sense of the
I folly of asking freedom for Ireland
while they eppose the same thing for
America. Should the Fenian Broth
erhood generally carry out the princi
ples enunciated in these resolutions,
the prospects of Ireland will look much
brighter in a short time. Does our
Fenian neighbor endorse these resolu
tions ? Let us hear from him.
The committee appointed to draft
resolutions reported the following,
which were adopted with but two dis
senting voices :
Resolved,' That the Fenian Brother
hood have an abiding faith in the ulti-
mtte success ot their eilorts to eniran
chise Irelsnd, and no misfortune, fail
ure or opposition, n matter how disas
irmi nr tnrmiable. will crush out their
hope that Ireland is yet destined to be
a free country, and her people enjoy
the same freedom which other people
aninv aa an inherent riffht.
Resolved, That while thus devoting
our lives to the disenthrallment of our
native land, and of our countrymen,
we will not suoinit to tne imputation
that we are friendly to the enslavement
or political degradation of any race,
or any portion or me numan iamny,
but insist that liberty and justice are
not the privileges of the fsw, but the
inalienable birthright of men.
Resolved, That the Irish people in
tha ITnited Slates have Ion? endured
the injurious reproach of being the
nnlitical slaves of rmrtv. and that with
out inquiring as to the merits of any
political issue, they have thrown their
whole influence, as a class, just as
they were directed by the political or
ganization of which they have always
(onliiutea a large numerical portion.
That henceforth the Irish Deonle in the
United States assert their perfect free-
i it
Hrtrr. from nnrtv tort s ana DariY aue
J
gisnce, and liko their fellow-citizens of
American iirih will vp-.nt act wi th
those who make universal liberty at
home and abroad the cardinal point of
political faith. '
Resolved, That the Irish people of
ih ii mt on states win not ua ins auoes
of any men er party organization whish
makes the political degradation of any
person a test of political fidelity, be
cause, if for no other reason, it would
be arrant impudence in us to appeal to
th world in behalf of our own coun-
trvmon in thftir native land, while bv
our votes, and our speeches, and our
influences, we insist that any portion of
the people of this country shall be de
mod that lihnrtv and nnnalitV which we
uv , - - j ;
demand for ourselves, for our country,
and for our kindred.
i; Resolved, "That the liberation of oar
native land is now and will henceforth
be the grand object of our " lives ; that
every roan who aids us or befriend
us, by word or deed, in our' purpose,
we will recognize as a friend j and that
nil who oppose our-' lawful : measures,
we will recogize as those whose politi
cal association is to be avoided ; that
while discharging our duties faithfully
as American chizens we will, ne verthe
l... hnM all mhn cmnojs Ireland's re
demotion as enemies of the great fun-
less, it is just, and you will be under
the necessity of enduring it. VVelinow
your-policy, like that of your party,
is "rule or run ;" and it must be trying
on the nerves to be defeated after hav
ing labored so hard to carry out the
scheme concocted last winter, of which
we made mention at the time to over
run Nebraska, and particularly Cass
county, with refugee Missourians.
FAILED ONJE.
The crafty leaders of the rebel-
elevation party arranged a programme
last winter by which they felt sure of
carrying Nebraska. One item in the
order of business w as, to use the lan
guage of one of their star performers.
to "run enough Missourians into Cass
county to carry it." This part of the
programme failed, and we Jo not won
der that such men as Morton, Miller
& Co. feel sore about it. They did
not figure quite close enough. They
arranged to have as many Republicans
stay away from the polls as possible,
and to have as strong an "exile" vote
polled as they dared to, in the full ex
pectation that they had the thing "set"
all right for an easy victory. They
failed, however, and we may expect a
desperate effort to be made this fall.
Will the loyal people of Cass county
stand by with their hauds in their
pockets and see such trickery succeed
Let every Republican in Cass county,
and throughout Nebraska, prepare for
the contest this fall. You must expect
villification and abuse; they are the
only weapons used by men fighting for
a bad cause. Argument and reason
would not serve their purpose, and
therefore are entirely discarded. Re
publicans in every precinct in Nebras
ka should see to it that none but legal
votes are polled at the October election.
THE I'LATI'ORM.
We publish to-day the Constitutional
amendment submitted by Congress to
the various Sia..LegulaUir3S for ret"
fication: or rejection. It is now the
main issue between the parties, and
should be carefully read by every man
m a
who desires our nation's troubles setuea
in a manner that will secure permanent
peace to the country. Is there a man
in Nebraska who honestly thinks we
could secure permanent and lasting
re ace by placing tha control of the
government in tie hands of men whose
hands are vet red with the blood of
murdered thousands men who sanc
tioned the Fort Pillow massacre and
the wholesale murder at Ander.onville
and other rebel slaughter pens? Is
there a man who will dare to stand up
and, eay that he would sanction the
placing , of sueh. men in power? If
there is one he will oppose the Amendment.
7 MORE "I'OEICIES.".
The "policy" men of Nebraska must
expect, to "rule tba roost" at the Phila:
delphia Convention on the 14th of Au-
tact, and its object known, and as that
party, by its talth, its doctrines, anu us
action, has in the face of the popula-

as I acted with it then for' paramount
reasons, my sense of duty demands
that I remain and act with it now. The
pith and marrow of the present call, I
should sav. tends towards a convention
to form a party for sustaining, not the
government, in its entirety as has been
the mission of the Union party, but a
department of the government, and
here I must take the liberty of adding
that I can hardly conceive of a sadder

THE DIFFERENCE.
It appears to make quite a difference
with the rebel-elevating Democracy
(excuse us "Conservative," we mean)
whether it was the Union bull that
gored the rebel ox, or whether it was
the rebel lull that gored the Union ox.
Since Morton has been repudiated by
the honest portion of his own party in
his own county, by the popular voice
of the people of Nebraska, and by the
State Legislature, he has arrived a1
the eonelusion that the Constitution did
not carry by the honest vote of the
people that is, to throw out the sol
diers' voles and count in the bushwhack
ers votes. Do the people of Nebraska
suppose this sagacious chap, who con
tested the seat of Hon. S. G. Daily on
the vole returned from L-Eau qui
Court where a lame negro fiddler cast
about 200 votes for him, would have
ever discovered this wonderful "mare's
nest" had he been elected Governor,
instead of honest David, or had the
Legislature seen fit to "mike treason
odious" by electing him to the United
States Senate. Why did this chief
ruler amoDg the "Knights of the bush"
make such a desperate effort to secure
his election to the Senate if the Con
stitution was defeated! The trick is
a little too thin, Sterling, and won't go
down with men who have any regard
for consistency. We know it "is hard
on democracy " ( conservatives, we
mean), as Poppleton says about the
. a
Rock Bluffs "Infamy, but, nevertne-
and we understand Gen. Heath has
arrived with the "documents" author
izine him to have a third set elected.
We suppose each set endorses some
one of the many "policies" of Moses,
but they may all te served like the
delegates to the Chicago Convention
If each State sends as many delegate?
to Philadelphia as Nebraska does, it
will ha a nrettv larze affair, and vari-
" ... . ' V
ously "mixecl." We hope, however,
that no true Union man will have any
thine: to do with this arrangement, for
it is nothing more nor nothing less than
a meeting for the purpose of strength
ening the bond of political friendship
between the northern copperheads and
the southern rebels, in the hope thatby
theii united efforts the great party
which saved tha national life may be
broken up and destroyed, and the con
trol of the government placed in the
hands of the men who for four years
waeed a blocdy and relentless war
against it. If men claiming to be true
Union men do co to that convention
only one of two courses will be open
for them to pursue; either to withdraw
from and wash their hands of the whole
matter, or fall in with the plan of giv-
ine the government ever into the hands
of traitors. We must either some out
sanarelr on the prineiple that loyal
men should govern the nation so lately
saved from destruction, and stand by
the chosen representatives of the peo
ple, or say that the would-be destroy
ers of the government are the proper
ones to rule, sicce they failed in their
resort fo violence, and go in for the
Philadelphia ucnvention. . ,
WARLIKE THREATS.
The editor of the South Carolinian,
in speaking of Congress and its refusal
to admit representatives from that and
other States lately ia rebellion, says
that "if the South were not completely
exhausted and worn out by ber four
years' struggle with the gigantic pow
er of the North, we would expect to
see her again girding up her loins and
nrenar.nir for another contest of arms."
This is a significant declaration, and
one entirely expresiive. we doubt not.
of "a greal"Traowrof-Teconitraete4:i
sentiment,-so-called, in the aoutn. it
it not somewhat astonishing when we
think about it, that .we have lived to
see the dsy when overthrown rebels
should consider their exclusion, for a
season, from the councils or the nation
a casus belli; and that becaoso of such
. . a 1 a
exclusion they should dare to maicetne
actual threat of war against the su
premacy of the Government. One
might rightfully suppose," from the
South Carolinian's article, . that the
contest between the Government and
the Rebellion, carried on for more than
four years, had ended nt last in a drawn
battle, and that if there waa any difrr
nt all it was in favor of the South.
The real . situation of the result, and
their status by reason of that result,
seems not al all to eccur to the rebels.
They presume, as; if upon an under-
stood political stauaing inrougaoui in
country, whereas the truth is they have
aone at all, none whatever. They
are simply overthrown rebels and noth
ing else, and never cau be anything
else until made so by the restoring pre
rogative of the Government. ' .

situation was being explicitly developed

time that those who lost in the contest
should be impressed with the fact that
they really did lese, and that thus losing
they must regain their loss as a gratu
