Kven nt this bile day we urea-ion-ally hear of a good honest Democrat who actijiil'y thinks the proposed Con Mtitiuioiial Aiiieiidiiieiii covertly carries with it N-j;ro MiflVii!e. W say to all uch BEAD! The Amendment Mand at the head cf our columns, and we urge every man in Ntbra.ka to read it (or himself. Do not take any man's word for what it ay; but read and be satisfied. It is nothing more nor less than the Dourbis doctrine that each Siate bhall regulate the franchise with in its own limits. It leaves the fran-rhi-e entirely with ihe States, and w d-fy successful contradiction of this fact. Nui a newspaper or speaker in the land bis dared in attempt a refuta tion, publicly, of this fact; notwithstand ing they tell you privately that such is not ihe case. Is there a D u2las Demo crat in Nebraska wh dues not believe in the doctrine it establish" ? Let our friend- in Cass County take espnciil pains to see thai every man fully under stands the provisions of ibis Amend ment. Take the paper and show it to them read it to them and ask them l point out the objectionable features. If they cannoi find any, then ask ihe ni vote for it. It is lh identical doc trine contended for by Douglas' Demo crats a few yars ago. Have they abandoned1 jt now ? While it is not what some men inih- Republican par' iy desired, it is what the great mass of he party cbiun as justice; and what every Douglas Democrat can support with eonsi-.iency.

Last night the discu-siun between Messrs.

He defied tiiem to thow any such intemiou on the pari of the Amendment. He proved that the DouoJas doctrine of permit tin": States lo settle thai question m lis own way was clearly advocated by ihe Amendment and rather shamed its op ponents by delyiug idem to show any instance where even iheir beat speak ers nad assailed it. It was proven to be iuijrregn i Lie. Morton followed in a long; speech full of Nigcei! Naffer! He took the sayings of tanatics and the tag-lag aud bobtail of our party as our creed, stu diously ignoring ihe voice of our ma joruy. lie run oil tne national issues, and assailed our County Canvassers He fumed aud blew round about the Rack Bluff affair aud sal down wiihout a cheer, philosophically lighting his pipe. Marquett followed, and never did a man receive such a flaggelation as Morton. He squirmed and squirmed crossing first one leg then another; and In his pipe at least a dozen limes. We. cannot pretend to describe the wild en thusiasm that burst from the densely packed crowd as Marquett with truly wonderful fone and eloquence follow ed the Grand Commander "dodge ' af ler -"dodge,"' telling him to his face that he not only dodged but bi.-ely fal sified When lMaiquett sat down, chf r upon cheer went up from his tripuds. many democrats joining' and acknowledging the mental superiority of our man over Morton. Poor Morton, we feel sort of sorry for him to day, he locked for all the world like a "dunghill" that's teen sorely whipped, every feather drooping as he went to Rock Bluffs to receive another drubbing. t5 The Femans of New York re fused to tak wrt-in. the ovation of A. A rOLi)ii;it'!i oiiios- VYe make the following extract from a speech by lien G. M. Dodge, which is an index to the feelings of ev ery true soldier and patriot in the land. We demand that the cause we fought for shall be he id sacred, and that loy al mm shall assert iheir rights, and prescribe the rules by which rebel shall again take part in this Govern ment. And we also demand that ih Souih shall no longer huld up fo" u ihitl one while man in Sout!t Caroliiio Is equal to three whue men in Iowa We believe we thought we showed them thru we were at least equal in war, and we are determined thai we will be alter it is over. There ore w. Miy as slavery i abolished you can no longer hold your a-cendancy in iln halls of Congress by counting one whit man iu the So Jth equal to three in ih North, thus giving ihe South the pnvi lege of sei.dtng foriy-two Rebel u Congress, based upon four millions oS blacks, to offset thu v tes of thiny-iw lovai men, based upon four million- oi whites. The R-b Is and Copperhead claim thai the moment they laid ami their aams they were entitled to repre initntion in Congress, though thei hands were red with the blood i f hun dredsof thousands of nu n. Ihat thv had a right to take pun iu the legi lion that should define, aud punish tiea son, uud should al-o lake part in a laws to make secure the future; lint though slavery was abolished, the should aid iu making the laws thu should govern the freedmen. and keei in force slave codes fit only for a tar barous age.

They now issue posters announcing .-peaking ut Ml. Pleasant at the .time time thai our party are advertised lo hold a meeting there. Our advenUe inenis were out several day ago, and they knew it. Is this the manner in which this great "Naiional'" party ex pect to gain victories, and convince the people that their cause is right? Il is generally supposed Ihat people a-ctriam ihe truth by examining both sides ot it question, and turoogh dis cussion. These men refuse to enter in a .1 to a joint debate, and then appoint meetings at the same lime- and place- that we have advertised. What is the natural inference? Is it ihai ihey are inclined to treat ihe matter candidly? Or is it thai they desire lo work only through an attempt to disorganize our meetings?

Hognn said Johnsm was in fuvoi of thirty-six States, and proposed three cheers for htm. Not a cheer was given, but Grant," "Grant,'' "Grant," was want ed, and they would have no one else Finally Grant came "out on the plat form, and such a shout went up as ha not been heard by i t ut paiiy since it left Washington.
