OF NEMAHA COUNTY.
. Voters of Ncmalia County.
Next Tuesday you will again be called
upon lo exercise your right of suffrage.
' i Bear in tniud'ihe value and sacred ness of
that right. Trifle not with it, yourself,
nor. suffer others lo do so. Where politi-
cal principles arc at stake, assert those
you are convinced are in themselves right
.and- lest calculated to accomplish the
greatest good, regardless of what this or
that man may ray to the contrary ; regard-
less of personal preferences or prejudices.
. Principles should rise above every other
consideration, and you should Lethe judge
as- to it. The day of leading men up to
. the polls and instructing them how U vole
.'we trust is "numbered among the things
that were." Let every American citizen
. native or adopted, feel that the ballot-box
. . his bulwark ; the medium through which
he exercises the power peculiar to, and
" inherent in, ihc American people. What
ever may be the means resorfed to by
politicians and others to convince the
people of the superiority or inferiority of
men or measures before an election, when
we approach the ballot-box. we should feel
that we are treading on sacred ground ;
.' about to exercise a right, to secure which

. More About TIiosc Appropriations.
; The objections urged by Mr. Morton
and his friends to Mr. Daily's Bill, appro
' priatibg' money for various improvements
" .in this Territory, is that he provides for
the appointment of Commissioners who
are" residents of this Territory, whose
duty it is to see that the money is proper
ly expended, and pays them for their
cervices. Heretofore tbe Democratic
policy has been to appoint some man who
is not a resident of the Territory to su
perintend the expenditures. That man
brings with him ncn-resident engineers
and laborers, who, after completing their
labors, pocket their service money and go
back to the States to expend it. The Ne
braska City .Yew s figures up what would
be paid the resident Commissioners and
laborers to construct the Military Road
from Nebraska City as provided for in
Mr. Daily's Bill, as follows:
S Cotnrnlsiinors fur 7 months at $12 per day $2 620
1 principal engineer at $6 per day 1 2t0
3 assistant engineer! st $10 per day 2 100
A rod and chiuimien at 110 per day 2 100
6 laborers at $7.60 per day . 1 675
S carpeutors at $3 per day I 630
S team and drivers at f 10 per day 2 100
Total to Republican Commissioners, engi
neers, &.C., $13,335
Concede that all to be correct, and then
what? Why thirteen thousand three
hundred and thirty-five dollars of Uncle
Sam's money is expended, and" kept in the
Territory; while if Mr. Morton's policy
' was carried out, it would all go out of the
Territory.
' vTake another view of the matter; con
' 'cede "Stealings to be in." Forty thou
sand dollars were appropriated a few
'years ago to construct a Government Road
' from the north branch of the Platte to
Oie Running Water, in the northern part
of the Territory. Anon-resident "Su
perintendent" was appointed to construct
that Road. The money was expended,
and no man has yet denied but that all the
'.wcrk.dene by him could have been done
for ten thousand dollars, at the very ut.
termost estimate. The "Superintendent"
then took his snug little sum of thirty
' thousand back to the States and spent it
there. Had a resident "Commissioner,"
' had a "finger in the pie" that money
would have been expended in this Terri-
tory.
. ;Again, as to the economy even cf
stealing from Government appropriations:
Strickland admitted, when he made his
speech in this place, that thirty thousand
'. out cf forty thousand had been fobbed
by one "Superintendent," and then he
figured up that twelve Commissioners as
cpntemplated in Daily's Bill would enly
pocket forty seven thousand, out cf one
hundred and seventy thousand !
So you see even taking their own fig
uring as to "stealings" the matter stands
as is thirty thousand, to forty thousand so
is forty-seven thousand to one hundred
and seventy thousand; One non-resident
. steals 75 per cent of the approprion and
spends it in the States ; while twelve resi
dent Commissioners steal only 23 per
cent and spends that in the Territory.
But this all aside : are we not all satis
fied, that resident Commissioners or Su
perintendents would know better how to
. expend judiciously money appropriated for
our benefit; and would feel a greater in
terest in having it go further and do more
than would some non-resident man who
knew nothing of our wants, and cared as
little, so he enly got his mon'y.
Remember, voters cf Nebraska, that
S. G; Daily is in favor of our resident
" citizens expending appropriations ; and
that J. S. Morton is opposed to that policy,
and is in favor of non-residents men Le-
ing appointed, who will receive their pay
and go back .o the Slates with their ill
gotten gains.
VOTE FOR S. G. DAILY.
If you are in favor of the people in
Nebraska regulating their domestic af
fair La their own way.
LET THE PEOPLE HATE LIGHT !!!
HOST flll'S RECORD!
HE VOTES AGAR7ST THE
HOMESTEAD BILL
IN THE
Nebraska Legislature! ! ! !
When Daily and Morton spoke in this
place, Morton produced the House Jour
nal, and with one cf his peculiar swag
gers, cunniug look, and cute winks, .as
much as to say "now old fellow I've got
you,' endeavored to prove that because
Daily had voted apparently against a
Homestead Bill, on some side votes, that
therefore he wa3 opposed to a Homestead
in toto. We felt quite sure, at the time,
that Morton, when last a member of the
House, voted against the Homestead. We
have since procured the Journal and here
is the vote ; MORTON voting straight
out against a Bill to exempt the Home
stead of families from Forced Sale. See
pages 101 and 10?, House Journal, 4th
Session, Nebraska Legislature :
On motion cf Mr. Strickland,
Tbe Ilcuse cow went into the Committee of Uie
Whole on the special order of the day.

they had bad under considers tien: C. 15. No. 12, "A
bill for an act to exempt the Homestead of Families
frcm forced rale tn execution to pay debts," and
recommend that the bill pass.
On motion,
The rules wero suspended and the bill rewl third

Mr. Strickland moved that the bill do now pass.
A call of tho House was demanded.
Mr. Murphy wasabaect.
On motion,
The Sergcant-ar-armj was dispatched af tor absen

All further bueiae3s under the call were dispensed
with.
The yeas and nays were demanded on the passage
cf the bill and resulted as follows :
Ayes-Mcssrs. Beck, .Benedict, Crawford, Camp-
ocii, Vuamoers, vromweii, vwcr, uin:s, um, uui

and Mr. Sneaker. 27
Nays Messrs. Armstrong, Clayes, Donelan, MOR
TON, Steinberger, Stewart of Washington and
Thral!.-8.
Carried.
On motion,
Tbo title was agreed.
Another feature in the above vote is,
that every one of the 8 nays were Demo
crats ; and yet, men have the impudence
to tell us the Homestead is a Democratic
measure. And Julius bterling Morton
has the unblushing afTrcntery to go before
the people of this Territory and claim
that he is a Homestead man, when the
fact is, the only opportunity he ever had
to show his hand on ttiat measure he
VOTED AGAINST A HOMESTED !
How do those who have been "almost
persuaded" to vote for Morton because of
the representations that he was in favor
of a Homestead, like his record. We
ask no man to take our assertion, or that
of any other individuals, as to Morton's
vote against the Homestead Bill direct
vote against it we refer to the Journal,
E5TSEE HOUSE JOURNAL FOUR
TH SESSION, PAGE 102. Here is
evidence that cannot be dodged. "Let
the galled jade wince."
Voters of Nebraska: will you aid to
elevate a man to the position of Delegate
t3 Congress, who has so grossly misrep
resented your interests in the Nebraska
Legislature ?
Voters of Nebraska Look at tills.
The last Nebraska City- JTews publish
es 4A Synopsis of H. C. Blackman's
Speech, delivered at the Democratic
Club Meeting on Monday evening," from
which we extract the following as said by
Mr. Blackman :
By the arrangement cf parties we are confined
to one of two men; eithe'Mr. Morton or Mr. Daily
wiil be the next Delegate, and WE, OF OTOE
COUNTY must say which cf these two WE prefer.
To this question I shall address myself more partic
ularly to night, and in what I shall say, I shall en
deavor to speak candidly to candid, thinkirgmcn
for koicever tcidely use may differ about political -ue,in
Ihi matter vehave an immediate and abid
ing intcrrtt. Atide from politic, and the kepe of
office, our interett are tdaitical; and that uhich
promote the interest of Otoe County, mutt promote
my interest. If you benefit no man in community
by any general measure, it must benefit all men.
As citizens then, WE should look at this natter
calmly, weih ouractions well, and Tote as WE think
OUR BEST INTERESTS require us to act.
I am an earnest supporter of Mr. Morten, and I
prop se in a candid way to state why. He i one
n his whole history is identified with our inter
ett." Mr. Blackman frankly admits that the
"interests of Otoe county" override polit
ical issues, or any other consideration,
whatever. This, every one knows, has
always been the ruling policy of the lead
ing men in that county; for which we
have no war to wage against them. Our
quarrel, if we have any, is with our own
people and ethers, for failing to be as
zealous, and watchful in, and over their
interests as have been the people of Otoe
County in regard to theirs. . Now i3
there a man among us, who has been a
resident cf our county a sufficient length
of time to be acquainted with the history
of Morton, that does not know that he
has always been the uncompromising en
emy cf this county ? With a knowledge
of these facts, and the assertions, con
tained in the above extract before us, what
have we, or other couniies in Nebraska,
to expect at the hands of Mr. Morten,
in case he is elected ?
We had understood that other interests
than those cf a single county, were the
issues in this campaign; matters in which
the whole Territory is interested. But
we are told, just on the eve of he elec
tion, that local interests are to be the
governing incentives to action.
Remember that Samuel G. Daily is
pledged only to serve faithfully the Ter
ritory ofJbraska. In his hands the in-
of
terests of every point will be cared for
Morton cannot see beyond the limits
his own county.
The News further publishes :
liv. Blacsthav, sail that the people of Otoe
county were about voting for a person to represent
the interests of the 37th Congress of he United
States. The Delegate from a Territory has no rote
and hardly a voice, in Congress. Ilia mission is to
solicit at thehand3 of that body such measures as
would tend to promote the interests cf the people
he represents: In selecting a man f'r this purpose
we should exercise the same judgment, the care, the
same prudence we would exercise in the employment
of an Attorney or any other person to transact any
business for us In any of the vocations.of life.
That is a very sensible conclusion of
of friend Blackman's. But would he or
any other sensible man consider it wis
dom to send one whose ''mission is to so
licit" known to be obnoxious to the "bo
dy" to which he applies for such "meas
ures as would tend to promots the inter
ests of the people he represents ?" Sure
ly not ! . Again ; would he be likely to
consider it "prudent" to employ an attor
ney to prosecute a claim before a "body"
of which he was known to be an uncom
promising enemy? Is Mr. Blackman's
faith in the "justice of all things," so
strong that ho would do so ? We think
not! Then where the "prudence," or
policy of sending J. S. Morton Delegate
to Congress, when the "body" of which
he is to "solicit" measures of interest
is known to be cf a different political
complexion from him; a political party
is in power, he is pleased to character
ize in every speech he makes, as disor
ganizes enemies to the interests of the
country dangerous party political assassins-hypocrites
woolly heads negro
worshipers, and a host more coarse epi
thets? "
Voters of Nebraska, you have noth
ing to hope for in the election of J. S.
Morton. It is to your interests to secure
the election of Samuel G. Daily, it mat
ters not what your political preferments
are. Consider . that matter well before
you cast your vote.
DON'T ' FORGET
That every vote given for S. G. Daily
is for Government appropriations of lands
and money for this Territory, and those
appropriations so guarded that the people
of Nebraska will secure the benefit of
them.
Which Party Is the Friend of a
Homestead.
"Poos IlAjm. The 'Pre' has been flounder
ing through a half dozen columns lately to show
that ILimlin is sound on the Homestead question.
The fact is Hamlin has always bean opposed to any
sort of a Homestead bill up to a recent date ; the
fact is, and the 'Pre' docs not deny it, that the
following vote stands recorded in tho records of the
United States Senate or. the Homestead bill :
Nats Mersrs. Bragg, Clingman, Hamlin, Hunter
Fearce, Powell. Tombs.
A man is known by the company he keeps. It
is a further fact, and the 'Pre, dare not deny it,
that Hannibal Hamlin, candidate fcr Vice President
on the Republican ticket, did on the 20th day of Ju
ly 185 1 in tho Senate of the United States, made
uso of the following little speech against the Home
stead measure :
"From an examination of this measure I find iay
self unable to suppoit it in any of the aspects in
whioh it has been presented to the Senaee. 1 see no
sound policy of economy upon which such a meas
ure can be based. I think there is none ; at least there
is none which carries conviction to my mind. I am
willing to vote on this question without another
word of debate from any quarter. 1 am willing to
YUIE AU Airs Si THIS BILL as it now stands." .
The above we clip from the Nebraska
City News - We do not propose to in
terfere in the controversy between the
Jfetcs and Press. But we dislike to see
such outrageous garbling and misrepre
sentation. The fact is, the vote given
above, and the language imputed to Mr.
Hamlin, were given and uttered when
he was a Democrat in good standing
Senator from the then Democratic state
of Maine, and when opposition to the
Homestead, as it is now; was a principle
in the Democratic party. Every man
whose name is recorded in the above
vote with Mr. Hamlin are Democratic
Senators, and the Jfews knows it; or is
more ignorant of the politics of the coun
try than we supposed him to be. Let
any man look over the Congressional
Globe of last Session of Congress, and
he will see who were the friends of the
Homestead. In every instance every vcte
against the Homestead was given by dem
ocrats and Know-Nothings, and but few
of either ever voting for it. Even An
drew Johnson, of Tennessee, a man we
greatly admire, and have always looked
upon as a devoted friend to the Home
stead measure, voted against the passage
cf the Homestead Bill over Buchanan's
veto. On the 17th of February 1S50,
see Congressional Globe, page 1074, a
Homestead bill was before the Senate
largely Democratic we find the Home
stead Bill set aside to give place to the
Cuba bill, on a tie vote Mr. Breckin
ridge giving the casting vote and thus
the bill defeated for that session. Every
Senator who voted to defeat that Bill
was a Democrat. By examining the
votes in the House at the last session of
Congress it will be found that in every
instance every vote, then given against
the measure was given by Democrats
and not a single instance in which a Re
publican recorded his vote in opposition.
A Homestead is not a Democratic meas
ure. The passage of such a law favors
Free States. Hence the opposition of
the Democratic party. as a party. There
are some noble exceptions as individuals;
but precious fev of them in good stand
ing. .
DON'T FORGET
That J. Sterling Morton is in favor of
the swindling Railroad Bill which was
defeated at the last Session of Congress
by a vote of 131 to 50.
VOTE FOR DAILY
If you are opposed to the tyranny and
prescriptive policy of the Buchanan De
mocracy both in and out of the Territory-

REMEMBER VOTERS
That Julius SiESLixa Morton,
petitioned the President of the Uni
ted States to bring on the Land
Sales in Nebraska; and when satis
fied that tho effect would be, to rain

Sales. And that this same Mor

cial benefit of the settlers in Ne-
braska.

Get Out Your Bloncy.
We are desirous of making tbe following bets with any
refponsible party : 0
$25 that atortonwill not carry Kansas Territory.
$25 that Daily won't carry Douglas county, Nebraska,
and that Morton will.
$23 that Daily won't carry Sarpy county, and that
Morton will-
$25 that Morton will carry Otoe county.
$23 that Daily can carryfty gin cocktails at one time.
$25 that Hand Bill Taylor never telin the troth.
$25 that John C. Heenaa can whip tbe Tipton Slasher
cf this Territory, in a fair stand up fight.
$25 that Daily won't carry Burt County, and that Mor
ton will.
$26 that Lincoln won't carry South Carolina.
$25 tbat the Jackass of Liberty won't be in "good con
dition" after the 9ih of October next.
$25 tbat Daily dare not be honest.
$25 that Lincoln will carry Vermont.
$25 that the signers of tho Declaration of Independ
ence did right.
The whole to be taken together.
We are tired or so much talk. Let us put np some
money. Nebratkian
The above is an exceedingly rich sett
of bets. If- the JYebraskian is anxious to
"go in" to any "little arrangments" why
didn't it come down" and purchase the
Advertiser office! That paper is famous
at the game of "bragg" and betting.
Betting, we know, is said to be a "fools
argument," but then Solomon says the
JYebraskian has a partiality for Solomon's
proverbs "Answer a fool according to
his folly, lest he become wise in his own
conceit." As an "oflfsett," therefore, to
the above we offer the following bets:
S100 that the JYebraskian dare not sub
stitute "Buffalo" or "L'eauquicourt"
counties for Kansas in his first bet.
S100 that "Morton don't carry Otoe
county and that Daily will.
S100 that Robertson can carry more
gin cocktails than Daily, and sponge them
all.
$100 that if the two were marketable,
and truths commanded $1 each, and lies
len cents, T. H. Robertson would tell
lies.
SI, 000 that if Morton is the veritable
Doesticks, Robertson is his "Damphool"
and Reynolds his "Bulldog."
S100 that "Mort" will, in time, "play
off" on "Rob," and that even now, he
only regards him as a "suple tool" in his
hands.
$100 that Robertson & Clark did not
take up a proposition to sell the Ad
vertiser office, payable when Daily iselec'
ted the next Delegate.
SlOOthat Samuel G. Daily will be the
next "Delegate from Nebraska, and that
Sterling J. Morton will not.
$100 that "the only two papers in Ne
braska", supporting Morton, he owns.
SI 00 that the signers of the Declara
tion of Independence did not "do rio-ht"
if in the declaration "All men are free
and equal," they intended to embrace
such specimens of humanity as T. H
Robertson.
S100 that the "Jackass of Liberty,"
will "on the 9th of October next," both
"bite" and "join the expedition"to Con
gress.
S100 that a certain lady in Omaha did
"Whip" T. H. Robertson, with zcow hide
"in a fair stand up fight."
SlOOthat if Morton is elected Nebras
ka will get no appropriations of any kind
during his term of office.
The whole to be .taken together. .
DON'T TRADE.
An effort is being made by the friends
of Morton in this, as well as other coun
ties, to trade off everything else they have
to secure his election. We are satisfied
in our. own minds that the Legislative
nominations in this county could not have
been made for any other purpose.
Stand firm in the maintenance of men and
principles, your conscience assures you
are best qualified for position, and best
calculated to accomplish the greatest good.
No good ever comes of trading votes ;
but regrets often; nine times out of ten.
Almost universally he who proposes a
trade in votes on election day "plays off"
on his victim. Don't trad? on anything.
LOOK OUT FOR FALSE REPORTS.
On, or a day or two before election,
look out for a flood of rumors and report?
-familiarly known as "Morton's tricks,"
"crafty manuvers," "sagacious opera
tions,' "cunning mooves,""sculdug7ery"
and such like gotten up to deceive voters.
This is a game he and some of his ardent
supporters understand and practice to per
fection. Look out ; believe nothing a
Morton man may say, in regard to elec
tion matters, on election day.

FRANCIS BELL, Probate Judge.
Squatters of Nebraska ! J. Sterling
Morton has denied- upon every stump m
the Teintory that he petitioned the Fres
idem to brinjr on the Land Sales. Above
you have incontrovertable proof that he
did so, and that he has falsified the facts
Morton has stated in his speeches that
the Fresident was compelled by law to
bring on the sales. Tb.13 is also untrue,
and is intended as an apology for the
wrong and injury done to you by the
Presidents in forcing your lands into mar
ket. Here is the law of Congress on the
subject. Read it, and judge for yourselves:
That the President of the United States be, and he Is
tereby authorized WHENEVER HE SHALL THINK IT
PROPER, to direct so much of tbe public lands lying in
the Territory of Orleans n shall have been surveyed in
conformity with the provisions of tbe act to which this
act is a supplement, to be ojjerei for Salt." Act of
congress 01 April ist, isu. btaiutes at urge, vol. 2,
page 334. J
Again, the act of Congress of the 22d
of July, 1554, in regard to Kansas and
Nebraska (See 10th vol. Statutes at
Large, page 300) provides a3 follows :
And tbe President is hereby authorized to cause tbe
surveyed lands to be exposed for sale from time to time,
in the tame manner, and upon tbe same terms and con
ditions as the other public lands of the United States.
What can be plainer ? The bringing
of the public lands into market is dis
cretionary with the President. Yet Mor
ton is traveling over the Territory, apolo
gising for the President by saying he was
compelled by law to bring the lands into
market at the time he did.
Squatters of Nebraska, remember that
J. Sterling Morton has treated you as if'
you were ignorant of the laws of your
country, and has insulted you by such
statements.
Acrain, the President in his inaugural
address, assured the public that his policy
would not be to force the nublic lands
into market, but to withhold them in order
to encourage the pioneer. But he has
basely betrayed that pledge, and you have
the evidence before you that J. STER
LING MORTON WAS ONE WHO
URGED HIM TO DO SO. and thu
brought distress and ruin upon the settlers
of Nebraska. Remember that Morton
still holds a commission from Buchanan,
and is a representative of the policy cf
nis administration.
Examine Your Tickets.
Spurious Tickets will doubtless be in
circulation on election day. Before you
vote examine your ticket carefully, and
see that every name on it is right.
DON'T FORGET
That in voting for J. S. Morton, ycu
endorse the infamous Buffalo and L'Eau
qui Court election frauds of last year.
VOTE FOR S. G. DAILY
If you are opposed to a slave protect
ing code for the Territories.
DON'T FORGET
That every vote for S. G. Daily is in
favor of securing a National Homestead
free to actual Settlers.

Mr. Editor:, Having recently received
from my old friend Broughton, of Phila
delphiawho is, by the way, the greatest
Astrologer in this country a copy o ms
Nativity of Douglas, and being somewhat
versed in Astrology myself, I have con
cluded, since the contest ra?es so fiercely
on the Delegate question, to call on the
stars for information; and, with your per
mission, would give the result of my la
bors to the readers of the Advertiser, on
ly stating, that I am sorry that I com
menced them so late as not to be able
to read Mr. Daily's nativity from the
eternal canopy of heaven :
Morton's Nativity-
BY NEBRASKA ASTROLOGER.
"Fur heaven
Is as a book oefore thee set
Wherein to read His wond'rons works, and learn
His seasons, hours, or days, or months, or years."
MlLTO.X.
Hon. J s Morton was born on the
1st of April commonly known as "all
fool's day" 1S34, and after rectifying
hi3 nativity, we place the time of his birth
at a very early stage of hi3 history, about
midnight. If the above is the correct time
of birth, he was born under the Moon,
in the sign Taurus, or bull. The Moon
in Taurus describes a person rather short;
well set; of florid complexion, particular
ly about the nasal organ; expressive
mouth about meal times; broad face; bull
headed; a forehead and considerable "bone
and siner." He is impudent; has consid
erable self-esteem; thinks he is a "perfect
type of beauty," and is a great buffoon;
delights in "spondulicks;" has great ac
quisitiveness, and will generally get the
best end of a bargain.
The sign Aquarius the water bearer
which rules the mental faculties, in his
case, being in conjunction with Aries, the
Ram, will give him a very "crafty" turn
of mind, and will cause him often to car
ry water on both shoulders, and to use
mauy if's and "butt's;" but, at the same
Aquarius being nearly in square to Tau
rus, will cause him to be of a very loving
turn of mind; especially will this be the
case should he come into possession of a
blooded bull, he would lavish upon it much
of his . attention ; Pisces, being near
Taurus will cause him lo te fond of fisht
but more especially of "fish stories," hi
the narration of which will be found his
main stay for popularity.
Aries, the Ram, is the giver cf life in
this nativity ; it being in evil aspect to
Libra, the Scale, will cause him to become
pecuniarily plethoric by reason of an at
tachment for a certain "old Puck," and,
when this "old Buck" shall settle up, the
parts of Morton that will be effected most
will be his pocket; but his evil aspect in
Libra will very like cause him to keep the
balance.
The above nativity would indicate but
few children, he not being likely to be a
poor man ; but, on the other hand, indi
cates great luck, as the star Brainibus
was totally obscured by Canus Minor at
ihe time of his birth.
Mr. Morton hu3 a very unfortunate
nativity; he will have occasion to make a
great many short, and some will think,
inconsistant turns in life; one of these
will occur in the year 1858, Acquarius is
in square to Lepus and Aries, he will
then make a Capitol "butt," and "Old
Buck" will, while in the ascendant, shine
on him.
He has had several very unfortunate
aspects in his nativity of late. One oc
curs on the 17th of Sept., 1660, that is
Juno, or Harding Plant, stationary over
the ascendant and in square to Argo
JSavis, near Alpheratz ; which will cause
him to become very hard about thi3 time
and to use very navish arguments to gain
his point, for what object is shown by the
star Alpheratz. He likewise had an evil
aspect in his nativity last August, that is
the Moon in opposition to the Sun's place
and in square to Bellatrix, and her own
place, (secondary direction,) and at the
present tirae he has Bootes passing a
square of RigeVs place, (transit,) and
"old Buck" in great danger of a com
plete occupation ; which will cause him
(Morton) to become very unpopular and
resort to many Bellatrix ( stump speeches
in the belly,) and Rigel a great deal, but
it wlU boot him nothing, for, when "old
UUbo. ui3z.eu ur a wnue like a
comet go:s out like a candle, the days,
nours and minutes of Morton's official
cycle will be numbered with the past, and
he will be buried in hi3 political grave,
with this inscription over him :
Ilere lies the man who tnssted much to lack,
And often thought "Oh, how we apples swim,'
He built on sand, and pinned his faith to Back,
And rose, and reigrjed and fikkcred ont with him
MORTON'S
Record on PublicPrinting
What Jle Was and What He Is.
Our readers are well aware of the
nature af the Public Brinting controver
sy in this Territory, that J. Sterling Mor
ton as Secretary of Nebraska refused
to deliver the Laws and Journals to the
Printer, elected by the Legislature. We
propose to ventilate Mr. Morton's record
on that question, and in doing so .will
confine ourself exclusively to the Legis
lative Journals and other matter under
his own signature. The campaign has
become too warm to ask mere assertions
to be taken; or to take them in return.
"Facts are stubborn things," however,
and we will deal them out. The same
Julius Sterling Morton who i3 now a can
didate fcr Congress, wa3 a raeratei
the House, during the Fourth Sss3;Ca
the Nebraska Legislature, and thg
lie Printing was a prominent qcesti
before the Legislature, in which ,Ir
ton took a prominent part. The mt.
fort made was to compel the prfe&j
be done ia the Territory. Mr. Mcr
was in favor cf a Bill actually ir.trcd.
ed such a Bill making it UNLAWFCl,
TO EXECUTE THE TERRITORIAL
PRINTING WITHOUT THE LIMIT3
OF THE TERRITORY. See page 1

JOUN 11 TAGGAIiT
When the Public Printer was abec
being elected, one G. W. Hepburn had re.
ceived the vote of the Council for Printer
and the resolution, as was customary,
sent to the House for concurrence. Th
resolution was referred to thellcuse coa.
roitee on Printing, of which Mr. Morten
was a member, and he made the follow.
ing very loud minority report. See pagj
147 and 143, House Journals, 4th session,
as follows :
On leave,
Mr. Morton Introduced the following
REPORT:
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Uoute:
Tbe undersigned member of the Committee on
Printing, to whom was referred a Joint Brolutioo frs
tbe Council, which amtnel to nominate and elect G.
W. Hepbnrn Public Printer for tbe Terr UorrorXebrwka,
has bad tbe same under mlviseweut, ad beg leart it
report as follow :
Tbe committee on Public Printing a few dan lincer
ported back to tbe Ilousel
II. F. Ko. 115. "An act to make It nr lawfal to Uv
tee Public Printing executed without tht iluuta of tali
Territory,"
And recoairuenj its passajre.
Tbe object and intenUou of this was t protect, fotfr
and encourage the art of Printing and Its followers, ia
tbe Territory of Xebraaia. Such was the Intention ct
the bill, (thoiish it may not achire tbe end desirsd,
and it seems that tbls intention and tbis recommenda
tion on tbe part of your committee was truly lawlai
and praisewortby. Tbo Nebraska Pre?, onitiD jf
twelre of thirteen Journals now in successful operatios,
is ac index to tbe Intel lizence, energy and progress
spirit of our people, and it Is fr.r better and r.ore credit
able to onr Territory, than tbePrews of Misitacbusetui,
to tbat State, as tbey ere all democratic- And as tat
former report (alluded to above) was intruded as an ei
pression in favor of thee Journals and their support,
yonr committee deems It but Justice to itxolf and to iu
own consistency tbat it should continno to make timi'ir
reports Tour committee, therefore, knswinj tbat Ge.
W. Hepburn is not identified with either of tnc tbirtea
Journals, now in existence in Nebraska, and objectiat
to tho cuBtom of establishing new organs, either t
factions or parties, upon tbe basis of tbe public Prnt:m
expenditures, and desiring that tbe emoluments arising
from such printing should go to some 009 or more t
those Journals which are permanently established ia
Nebraska, recommend that the name of Geo. W.IIepban
be stricken ont of the resolution. And furthermore,
your committee would sucuest thst the public Printer t
elected by a billot, in a Joint convention of tbe Council
and Hon so, and would moi renpectfally state, tbat sonn
practical Printer or publisher, now doing tostnessla tas
Territory, lstha only person or persons to whom th
printing should be given, tbe only person or persons wks
are Justly entitled t recive it as a reward for labon
already performer, tbe fruits sf wbich bare been en
joyed by every man, woman and child in Nebraska
Tour committee would further recommend- the enact,
ment of a law providing for tbe immediate publishing of
tbe laws passed at the present session of the Iegislaturt
in three or more papers, at present being published ia
Nebraska, as this course would at ortro place tbe laws Is
the hands of tbe people, and Instruct ibetn as to their
present legal obligations, all of which In reopectfnllr
submitted. 3. STEELING JiOHTOX.
Shortly after this, Mr. Morton was
appointed by "Buchanan, Secretary' of th
Territory, and then 'how quick the tuai
changed!" Once a component part cf
the Administration, and how faithful h.
carrying out its fundamental principle
He, too, must trample under foot the ex
pressed will of the people's Representa
tives, and boasticgly and insultingly say
to them, "YOU MAY GO TO HELL
I AM NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO
YOU FOR MY ACTIONS !"
Here is his next record on the Printing
question: a letter written to General Den
