2s ow that tiie contest in regard to
State is ended, wa v.t-h to call the at
tention of all good Uni3n men to the
above quota: ion. Djrincr this contest !
many of our party friends have shown
an apathy in regard to the success of
the ticket, growing out of their opposi
tion to the adoption of the Constitution.
Many in this county did not go to the
polls at al., and others only voted on
the Constitution, entirely ignoring the
ticket. To all such we say do not let
any feelings of hatred toward the State
move deter you from a fulfillment of
your duty as true patriots. Go to work
now for the success of the next cam-
paign. .An J to tr.ose wno nave teen
aggrieved by seeing our party friends
working against the Constitution, we
would say do not indulge in any feel
ings of animosity. The question was
one of interest in a pecuniary point of
view, and not a; political ine isure, not
withstanding, a large proportion of the
Democratic leaders attempted, and suc
ceeded in some degree, in forcing it
on their followers as such. 1; you
would keep the new State of Nebraska
(for we tire sati-fied that we will soon
be exercising the functions of a State)
in the hands of men who are known
to have stcod by the General Govern
ment in the hour of need, let net per
. , , , 1 L .
sonal animosities interfere with the
discharge of your duties as patriots
and adherents to the principles of the
great Union party, which has preserv
ed the Union to which we now ask ad
mission. There is work to be done,
we are all aware. We know the
nature of our opponents, and the ten
dencies of the doctrines they promul
gate; and it would be unwise, unjust,
and impolitic to allow any feelings
arising out of the late contest to inter
fere or jeopardize our success in the
future. "In Union there is strength ;"
and let every true Union man, see to
it that nn act or word of his detracts
one iota from the f trength of the cause
we are battling for.
A Bkl-te. Yesterday a man. if he
could be called such, who was traveling

The news from Memphis fil'ed the

to jolify over the brave acts uv our

I'robably no man ir the Yooi i -il

disgustin for a proud Caucus-hen to con
template him. and where he ariz. be'ort
niy mind's eye in lht shape, 1 dlluz
turned shtninn avsay.
I had proceeded in my discourse
with a flow in sale. Its deinuntrntm
anything yoor awdjenee wants to h
leeve, and which their interest lie m.
For instant, I hev notist wn ked men
wlio wuz wedded to sin, genraily lean
toward-. Univert-alism. men heavily tie
velnped in the Lack of the neck are
easily convin-t uv the grand tnmths i.f

making m -ney to rest on the seventh
day, hev serious doubld ez to whether
the observance uv the Sabbath is lundin
onto em. I. not likin to work at all,
am a firm Lleever in tlavery, and wood
be firmer ef I cooJ get start enuil" to

I hed gone tin anl proved conc'oo
sivelv from a comparison uv the Cau-
tashin that thu niir-r wuz hra.-t
ami not a human hem. aii'l liiat coo
s-kenlly, we had a perfect rile to cauh
him and yooze him, ez we do other wild

course, I gl de easily into a hi-tory of
the flood exp'aimd how Nuar got lite
and cussed Ham ft ndemin him and his
pisteri'y to serve his brethren forever,
wich I insisted give us an indubitable
warranty deed to all uv em for all
time.
I warmed up on this elukently. "Be
hold my brethren the beginning uv
Uimocrisy," I sed, -Fust the wine,
(wich wuz the antitype uv our whisky)
w iz ihe beginnin. Wine (or whisky)
wuz necessary to the foundation uv the
party, find it wuz f irthcoinm. IJt the
thing wuz not complete. It did its
work on Noer, but yet ther wuz achin
void. There wuz no rugger in ihe
world, and without nigger there coold
be no Dimucrasy. Ham. my friends,
wuz born a brother uv Jupheth and
wuz like unto him. and uv c-urse coold
not be a slave. Whiskv wuz the in
strument to bring him down and it
fetched him. Ham looked upon hi?,
faiberand wuz Ctist, at.d the void wuz
filled. There wuz nigger and
whiskey, and upon them the tntinda
shuns of the party was laid broad and
deep. Methinks, my brethren, wh n
Ham went out from the presence uv
his father, black in the face ez the ace
uv spades-, ef I may be allowed to use
the expression, bowin his tack to the
burdens Shem andJapeth p led onto him
with alacrity, that Democracy, then
in the wcinb ov the future, kicked live
ly and clapped its hand. There wuz
a nigger to enslave, a id whiskey in

Al this pint a venerable old freed

a question. Thinkin what a splendid
opportunity there wood be uv demon

COX.UEIAalO.
The Senate i- i-xp-cied soon to take
up tiie I'i esid.-iil's Yelo of the bid ad
uniting Colorado as a State of the
Unu n ; and n is important thai the
controlling facts in ihe case should be
clearly understood.
The Yeto Mes.-age states that, al the
election of September, lbGl,
"Upon this particular question (ihe
adoption of a Stule Government ) G. 1 1)2
votes were cast ; uud, of thi number,
a majority of 3.15J was given ugainst
ihe proposed change."
This is a ureitt mistake. The
President's confidenc has been abused.
tlere is the evidence:
"Denver. Col., May 23. 1S6G.
"Mssis. Evans & Chaffee : I
herewith trans nn the oliici.il vole on
first Constiiinion of Colorado, as per
abstract on file in my oliice. For the

fifty hundred and six (o,UUU). Ala-
i ity 7S7.
(Signed) Frank Hall,
Sec'y and Acting (ioveruor."
The people of t olorado in ISO
voted not then to become a State. Tli.il
vire was. for the time, conclusive.
Why should not their recent vote in
javor of becoming a State be accorded
equal weight i
The vote by which they decided, last
September, t. become a S ate. was
3 n .l far to 2 S70 osraiml. Their
, - j "
vote fur Governor in N -v. int er was
Gilpm.3.123; Craig. ; Scn.lder

not a conteinp'it le basis for a new Stale
one which the Pae.fio Railroad ought
to reach in lSG7,and whi- h .sill thereby
be peopled more rapidly than any new
Siaie was.
Ve d--eply regret that the framers of
her Com nut ion tailed to enfranchise
her Blacks. Few as they are. their
rights rre as sacred as if they w re mil

soil at all; yet she has become a go"d
Union anti-S averv State. Ihuugli ten
years have not elap-ed since -he voted
5,497 to 651 to banish blacks from
her sod. We mu-t have faith ami pa
tience. We are confident that, if Abo

will reform her Constitution and se

Tlie bill tor equalizing boun-ie.-.,
ivhtcii juissed the House a few days
since, almost unanimous!)', was so
mended as lo avoid many of its inos'
bjectiouable ftatures as first in-ro-luced.
It provides for paying to every
-oidier, sailor, atid marine who may
iave served faithfully, and has been
or may b- hereafter lmnorarjly dis
i h trged, the sum of S3 1-3 per month,
oral tlie rate ui 100 a year tor nil
the lime served betwen the 12 h o!
April. l&Gl.and the 19th of April,
lbG5. In case of dischmge for wotind
i eceived in battle or in ihe line of duty
t us allowance is to be paid until the
end of ihe term of enlistment. In
case of death while in the service and
oefore ihe end of -nlistiuent, the boon
ty M lo be paid to the widr.s, if she
has not been married, and if there is
no w idow. to child or children under
sixteen years of age. In computing
these bounties all city. State and other
local bounties are to be taken into ac
count ;ind deducted, so that in no ca-e
will any one receive more than at the
ta'e f 6l0'J a year. Prize money
paid to sailor or others is also to be
considered. Substitutes are excluded
from this bounty, and also those who
were discharged on iheir own request
or lliat of parents, prior to April 9:b,
1 865, unless such di-charge was ob
i lined with a view to a re-enliunent,
or to accept promotion in the service,
or to lie transferred to another ormc i
of the service. The bill also provides
tor the collection of these bounties and
forh.d ling agents from exacting a fee
of mote than five dollars in each ca-e,
and making it unlawful for a soldier
lo bai ter away hi- discharge papers.
There is also a bill pending in the
Sena e with similar provisions, and i
i- altogether probable that the one or
the' other, or one embracing substan
tially theft; points, will be passed. The
chief design of this bill is to make an
additimal payment ti tl.e men who
went out in the fu st or later stages of the
war without the stimulus ef local bouu
ties, and who, to a very great extent,
bore the heat and burden of the day.
The former bill winch gave this bounty
alike t-.jall who have served in the war
wiJioui taking info account local Lou i-
tl.4 M-:, Vt.fe it -f ,.( I 1 V t r'l i.l jee.
ti in il le. But a law niii. h takes these
local payment- in-o consideration and
which siiti'l provide eHV-cmaily again-i
swii diing agents, and realhj equnhz
bounties, wid be one, we apprehend ,thal
will meet the views of the people, and
be su-taiiied heailily by all who appre
ciate the services and sacrifices of our
bernc defenders. As ihe bill now
stands-, and as it is liktly to pa.-s, th
iiddiiion which it will in ike to our Na
tion al debt is comparatively small, and
no part of that burden wil! be borne

Tiiere appears to be a vast amount

of the west just now, which is looked
upon by many who are acquainted with
the Indian characters as boding no
good to the whites. We fiud the fol
lowing dispatch from Colonel Taylor,
which shows a large body moviLg in a
southerly direction:
Jui.esburg, May 23, 1SC6.
Four hundred friendly Indians will
cross the Platte at Cottonwood in a fen
lays destined for the Republican river.
They go as a hunting party by District
Commander's approval.
Please notify trains in rrder toguard

We also find the following item in a
recent number of the Kearney Her
ald :
"Indians at Laramie were enraged.
on Tuesday, by ihe guard shooting and
severely wounding one of their num
ber. The Indian was lurking about
after the hour of retreat, and refusing
to halt, the sentinel fired on him. Sev
eral tribes were very wrathy, but after
explanation they were pacified."
A private letter to Major Wheeler
contains the following bit of informa
tion :
"The Indinns (Pawnee? friendly)
vho went out on the hunt found awag-
on anu t lie nouies ot six wnite men
on Solomon's Fork. The men were
stripped, and the team taken away.
The Indians who done it chased the
Pawnees in. I have two of ihe arrows
taken from the bodies in my posses
sion.
Besides this, we have seen a letter
t.iting that numerous bands of Indian
wpre prowling about in the north-west,
and the writer says the signs lo.k om
inous for a rough time wi'h them thi
-mnmer. We hope this may nil mean
:;-thing; yet we cannot help advising
rotpiersmen to keep a sharp watch
upon 'heir every movement e. o'
tne est, know the imtian to be treach
erous by nature, and if we would be
at peace with them we inu-t not give
them an opportunity to do otherwise
than be peacable.
The comuiis-iou for making a treaty
with the hostile tribes is now t Lara
mie, and large numbers of Indians are
congregated there. It is the belief of
some who ore posted on Indian char
acter that the Indians there assembled
will &'.'iupt to take the Fort and mas
sacre the men, instead of perfecting a
treaty. Thoy committed a similar act
in New Mexico rot long ago, and we
do not know that Indians are any mere
consciencious now than they were then ;
at least, we believe in watching thetn
sharply, and not giving them an op
portunity of showing their treachery,
except it can be made to react upon
them immediately.
