The 11. V. Times yi : "Hr. Tip:cn
cculda't vuu fcr it until he knew hvv

And sneers at hira as a "liberal soul."
II. J. IiaymoiJ, editor cf thcTimss.has
dcubtleis a "liberal toulM or il will cerer
excuie the "thir-s" it inhabits fur panic j
ihe abcre faKthood, as Mr. Tiptua point

ca that score, butconsiered theaource cf
ihe
retolutica Charles Sumner aufli
cient guarantee ca that pcict. A ''hb
craltoul indeed, presidesof the Times !
but the clay it inhabits is ahaky.
The great soul cf the exeuttler who
edits the Omaha JlcraU is terribly anxi
ous to sit in judgement ca scmsbody.
Hear him :
As to cur clerical friend Tipton, we
arraign and denounce his vote ia ihe Sen
ate the other day against the resolution
cf thanks lo the great American Philan
thropist, George PeaboJy, as a ttander
vpon ihe religion he professes and upon
the people c Nebraska." It was such
He was gailty, as a Senator, when he
cast that rote, cf an infamous wrong, cr
else all Christian example and teaching,
and the maxims of an enlightened cirih
zaticn, are a cheat, a swindle, and a lie."
How ?clubl8 is ibis judge cf "Chris
tianity" and "cirilization," who co glibly
"arraigns" one who is thrice bis peer iu
all that constitutes manhood and Christi
anity. Another case in point occurs to
us, which may illustrate the principle of
Mr. Tipton's vote, and may furnish this
judge" cf 'Christianity a chance to
"arraign and denounce" etill another;
"And He looked up, and saw the rich
men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2. And He saw also a certain poor
widow casting in thither two mites.
3. And He said, Of a truth I say unto
you, that this poor widow hath cast in
more than they all:
4. For all these have of their abund
ance cast in unto the offerings of God :
but she of her penury hath cast in all the
living that she had." Luke. zxi.
Now, Miller, go in ; because this case
illustrates the principle involved.
The J'ncs alings its filth thun, after
calling Senator Tjptoa an "ass" :
"We will cot tire our readers nor
shock ihe moral sense of the peojle by
further extracts from the insane, brutal
and Nebra&ka-disgracicg speech of the
theological mountebank from Brown
vilb." Wonder will Morton survive th
"shock" to his "moral cense," which is
principally in the fact lhat Tipton would
not stroke and flatter this great donation
to his rebel friends, though his vote was
cast cpon the principle ennunciated by
the founder cf Christianity !
We believe in the position taken by
Senator Tipton. It is anti Democratic
and anti-Republican and anti-good-sense
fcr the Congress of the United States to
honor with thanks and medals special
charities, be they ever so great. Let
this plan be inaugurated and the country
would be impoverished for gold medals,
and the time of Congress frittered away,
for daro Congress, in our form of Gov
ernment, make distinctions in favor of
the rich nabob who scatters one million
and a half out of two hundred and fifty
millions, and the poor, honest mechanic
who gives one-tenth cf his wealth to edu
cational charity ? We "have fifty candi
dates in this city fcr medals, and here is
another:
"D. Appleton St Co., have given one
hundred thousand books to Peabody's
trustees for ihe use cf the South."
Congress, shell oui your medals ; and
ye "liberal souled," web-footed, morally,
sensatire Christian gentlemen deeci
pies cf old Copperhead howl if Con
gress duien't do its duty ! Hold 'em

Democratic Consistency.
Many have regarded and denounced
ins Northern Democracy as inconsistent;
ia this they have been sadly mistaken
they have been very consistent since the
inauguration, of Nullification and the
birth of State Rights. They can never
be charged with inconsistency, since they
joined hands with the Southern Seces
sion Democracy, to whom they sold their
principles for the spoils cf office. They
labored for the South steadily and per
sistently,, even against the rebuke of ihe
South. Thus, ihe rebellion was inaugu
rated by Democracy, the southern wing
did the fighting while the northern wing
cheered them on, smuggled for them
and did all in. its power to cripple the
loyal 'North, refusing to vote "another
dollar or another man" to whip their
rebel friends. Had their opposition suc
ceeded, their cherished plan of division
of the Union would, to-day, have been a
fact ; but, thank God, it did not , and their
foul conspiracy has been burled to its
proper abode, the hell of public execra
tion. Under these circumstances are they
cot consistent in shielding, if possible,
their 'southern brethren" from the pen
alty of the treason they encouraged ?. As
a matter of course they are, for this
damnable consistency is all that is left 10
that consistent, party Avho have alwaj's
preached Jefferson and practiced Cal
houn, Burr and Benedict Arnold.
Their consistency has abated cot one
jot since the triumph of the Union, as
was shown by their opposition to the Con
stitutional .Amendment, which J. C.
Breckenride, Vice President of ihe Con
federacy, pronounced "the mildest pro
position ever offered to a conquered peo
ple. " Had the Northern Democracy for
once sunk their consistency, this would have
been adopted and the Union reconstruct
ed. But, co, this would be inconsistent ;
they wanted to make treason respectable.
What they have gained for their "err
ing brethren" may be seen in the Mili
tary and Supplemental Reconstruction
bill recently passed by Congress. These
measures would never have passed bad
the" South in good faith accepted the
Amendment , and we believe it would have
been accepted bad the Northern Dsmo
cracy kept silent; yet they did cot, and
the South owes its present situation to
them.
This Millitary Reconstruction simply
aims at a thorough and fair reconstruc
tion of the rebel States, with Constitu
tions republican ia form, recognizing co
distinction because cf color, and forbid
ing certain rebels the privilege of voting.
To exercise a servillance of the later and
to see ihe provisions of the bill fairly
carried out, the Military arm of the
Government has been extended over the
South. The Supplemental bill just pas
sed simply pledges Congress to accept
ihe rebel Stales when ihey comply with
ihe requirements of the first bill.
Is cot the Northern Democracy consis
tent in opposing this measure ? Truly
ihey are, becauaa it compels an accept
ance cf the loyal situation and punishes
by disfranchisement their rebel friends.
How they do howl at Congress and the
loyal North which Lacks it. No epithets
seem to them mean enough to dain such
an outrage to their dear "southern breth
ren, yet ia all their vamping not cne
grain cf argument is used. Let 'ea
howl, fcr ia that too are they consistent !
Under these circumstances it is truly
cheering to cote how little attention the
South is paying to iu toady ally cf ihe
North. - A general movement is caw ca
foot in the Scuth to accept the citua:icn
and organize under the Military bill, and
a strong Union party is forming which

This, however, i but ca3 instance, and

TIPTON OX RECONSTRUCTION.
The following remarks of Senator
Tipton were delivered during the consid
eration of a proposition to the Supple
mental Reconstruction bill requiring a
majority of all Registered voters in order
to carry an election, instead cf a majori
ty of the votes cast :
Mr. TIPTON. I have just this to say :
lhat the more this question is discussed
the more I feel an interest in it, and the
Senator from Indiana Mr. Hendricks
spoke the democratic truth when he said
that such a rule as that cow proposed,
so subversive of the principle of democ
racy, would have kept a recent State out
of the Union. That is true. You never
required it of the people of & Territory.
I represent a people who were permitted
to come here in case they could show a
-majority ia favor of a State organization ;
and I will cot, therefore, under any cir
cumstances or anywhere cast a vote by
which some other constituency shall not
come here by a single one of a majority.
That is my democracy on a question of
this kind. So far as it is said lhat men
will slay away and not trammel this op
eration because as rebels ihey will not
take the oath, that is cot true in fact.
So far are they demoralized all over the
South that 1 understand their pulpit
taught it to be a high Christian virtue
everywhere lhat men should perjure
themselves for the benefit of the confed
eracy ; and when Mr. Lincoln's amnes
ty proclamation came within the lines
they flocked to our headquarters every
where and look the amnesty oath, and if
ihey were ihen taken the next day they
were found with ihe amnesty oath in iheir
pockets when they had been shot down
hvith arms in their hands. I say that I
am col here to legislate for the rebels of
the south only incidentally as I am com
pelled to do so when I come here to legis
late for the loyal men of the South. I
have made my position clear and emphat
is in Nebraska upon this question. I
told my constituents there lhat if 1 came
here 1 cared not to counsel with the loyal
men of the North in regard to bow I
should cast my votes on a question of ihis
kind, but I would come here to ask the
loyal men of the South, and ihen I would
vote to enfranchise the loyal man of the
South, be he white or black, if necessa
ry for the good of loyalty in the Souih,
and I have nothing to take back upon a
subject of this kind.
1 must declare that a superficial obser
ver during ihe discussion ihis day would
suppose cur first business here was to
legislate in behalf of reb'els, forsooth!
Sir, we went to a loyal minority when
we went with erras ia our hands to release
them ; anil propose to ga to that loyal
minority now, and a minority perhaps
thai would be willing to give as good at
tention to the poor remarks I should make
as many of the Senators here just at this
present speaking. I go to that loyal mi
nority and I say a minority cf them, so
help me Gvd, shall control the destiny
ihe South and the destiny cf the rebels
of the South.
Fcr four years we have done without
the represjntatives cf disloyalty in ihis
Chamber; for four years more we can
do without the aid cf iha disloyal in au
thorizing Slates at the South ; and loyal
white men and loyal black men who have
litely sustained ihe flag cf ihe country
will come to our aid ia this Scatter. 1
am cot willing that the disloyal, by any
ciassjcauoa, by any mathematical calcu
lation, ihali be permitted to stay at home
and assist in defeating the wiil cf the
loyal mea cf the Ncrth. This may be
called tpvxkus morality and phiianthro- j

. ' A Carfl Iron George Ilelcr,
BaowaviLLE, Neb., )
March 29th, 1SG7. J
Mr. Editor: Air: In your paper of
ihe 14th of March, an affidavit was pub
lished made by me, before Wm. H.
Hoover, CicCl of Nemaha County, Ne
braska, for the purpose of obtaining pos
session of a piece of land claimed by me
as a Homestead. Said affidavit was lo
be sent to the General Land Office by
my attorney.
I do cot object to the publication of
said affidavit, us it was best to place set
tiers on their guard as to th3 manner in
which the Land Officers, at that time,
were doing business.
In your paper of the 21st, I see three
"Cards,", respectively from Sir. Barret,
Mr. Jamison and Mr. Bedford. These
cards too roughly assail my character for
truth to remain unanswered, and, with
your permission, I will answer them in
their own style.
I emphatically state that the affidavit
is true in every respect and yet cot so
full, complete and damaging to ihe parties
concerned as might have been.
The charge of false swearing 13 the
basest slander ever hurled against me.
I fear cot to risk its belief where I am
known, and am sure it will cot be where
its authors are known.
Mr. Barret charges that I lie when 1
swear that he "talked to Mr. Jamison in
whispers.' He knew when he wrote
that lhat bis assertion was false ; they
did converse in a whisper, and alter that
Barret called me out ! As regards his
charge lhat I did cot apply for it as a
Homestead, I can only return the lie he
so glibly, for a Christian, hurh at me
and refer him to Mr. Bedford's card
where one of Satan's desciples contra
dicts another. I came in expressly to
enter that land as a Homestead, and this
is corroborated by Bedford's card. Their
lies are so bungling lhat they show them
selves up.
As to my being a German, and, as they
say, do cot understand ihe English Ian
guage sufficiently to know the meaning
of the affidavit, I will say that I did un
derstand il in every particular, and it was
as I desired it. I am a German, and
after reading the "Cards" referred to,
I am proud of it, fcr I do cot remember
of any instance where a German has lei
himself down to the level of the black
ft.. r a
guard, roway ana "connaence ' man so
completely as these men. They certain
ly do cot understand the language they
60 cruelly murder ; for I anv informed
lhat Mr. Barret who prides himself up
on a knowledge of ihe language be dis
graces spelled in bis communication the
word said, "sayed," and Post office,
"Poast office." From him the charge of
ignorance comes with a beautiful grace !
I do cot deem it necessary to further
cotice these "things," Andy permitted
for a while to lord it over ihe Land Of
fice and poor "German" settlers, ihan to
again plainly and emphatically stale that
the affidavit printed over my signature is
true in every particular, and lhat I will

This letter closes ihe debate through
our columns. Having given the affidavit
cf Mr. Meier publicity to warn ethers
of what seemed to be a "snare" for
greenbacks, we cculi not consistently re
fuse all parties a hearing ; this hey have
had. and the case is cow in ihe hands cf
ihe jury. All panies, we hope, are sat
isfied ; but whether they are erect we
wiil permit no mere cf it through the
Advertiser.

noted. I am in quite feeble health, hav
ing been confined to my bed for the last

JancesI doubt whether I shall ever be

elect some ono to fill ray place. I think

short note in bed, unable to sit up. Tlease
remembor me kindly lo all inquiring
friends, and believe me, as ever, your
friend, W. A. LITTLE.
