It is supposed ihai, should a suffi
cient numbr of Copperheads be elect
ed in ihe North, an attempt will be
made to ignore the men whom Andrew
Johnson says are 'claiming to be the
Congress cf the United States It is
proposed to have the Northern Copper
head and the Southern rebels go"arm
iti arm'' and ttabfih a Congre.-s of
their own. which is t:i be recognized
by Johnon as the Congress of the
UiiLt-d Slates. Lei ever' nmn who
i. running for Congress be forced by
the people to define his jcsiiion on this
subject: that is, to say which one of
these bodies be would go with in case
he was compelled to make n choice.
Let this question be put to Morton -find
Paddock; and If t an explicit answer
be demmded. The people are inter
ested in knowing where candidates
stand upon this question.
RC.il! IlEAU!! HEAD!!!
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. All that is required
i loi ihem to understand it; therefore

that the DouoJas doctrine of permit

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

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

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.

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

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

His Fxcellency, President Johnson,
Washington, D. C:
In reply to yours of the 1st iust , 1
wouldsay thai any person opposing your
self or your policy of reconstruction
finds little favor w i h our citizens. The
removal of Gen. Sheridan would give
unfeigned aatisfaction. .
If it was not tor fear of your friends
.orth taking umbrage. I would advise
the withdrawal of the American flag.
I is very obnoxious here, and such m
conciliation would be very flattering to
the popular heart. Its di-play at the
Convention was quite as irritating a
the complexion of i fie assemblage.
W lib sincere wisV for the success
of your efforts at reconstruction, I am.

The D 'uiocrary of this County were
challenged to joint debate on the Na
tonal issues, and r f ust-d to accept.
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? Whicn would be the mo:
. i ! -ni
honorable course, and which win the
people sustain and which repudiate?
