TIIK "WHAT IS IT" CO.TE.-
In ipe&kiDg of tbo oameleis coaven
lion which is to be held at Philadelphia;
iho Omaha Herald say:
"With the objects of this Conren
tioa the Democracy everywhere will
have a hearty sympathy. The Call
peak democratic language, asserts
democratic principles acd has through
out n ringing democratic tone. The
Philadelphia movement will ceaie to
be of importance the moment it it un
derstood that it ig i.i antagonism io the
Democracy."
Is there a man in Nebraska claiming
to be a Republican who is green enough
to be caught in the meshes of the De
mocracy as regards this Convention
after reading the above candid confes
sion 1 Let Republicans stand firm bv
the principles that have brought our
Nation through the late war, despite
the armed hobU in. the .Soutli and the
treacherous and scheming foes in the
Norlh. The following from Cincin
nati may help to further elucidate the
animus or ice prime mover in im
Convention which is seeking after a
name :.
" The Democratic State Central
Committee after iwe days' secret ses
sion, have fully decided to join thd new
party movement, and the inquirer this
morning contains a call lor a JJjsiricl
Convention to elect delegates to Phil
adelphia, one-half to bn old Democrats
and the other half Johnson Republi
cans. ..
What body of men is this that says
one-half of the delegates shall be com
posed of "Johnson" Republican ? r Is
it the Republican Central Committee of
Ohio ? No ; it is lUe Lcuiocraiie Cm
uu::eai" od .according "to the Omaha
Herald the moment it should cease ts
be a purely Democratic institution iha.
moment it would "cease to be 'of im
portance." They ci.re not for the sup
port it might give the President even;
it is of no account or ''importance" un
less it is purely Democratic, and is run
ky, mo J ful tfio bcucAl" uf, Tmoci aliu
leaders. We would ask if there are
any Republicans in Nebraska who are
willing to bo caught with chaff after
having stood firmly to the work while
the enemy came out in their true colors.
Bear in mind that every . Republican
member of Congress, with' one excep
tion, has denounced this nameless, wool
pulling Convention.
A Jolinsonized Rebel. ' ,

Cincinnati Commercial has been looking
up this juggler's record, and finds, that
in May, 16G1, when lie stumped Ken
tucky in favor of the Confederacy, he
made the following declarations in an
address then published : - -
"Write it on the front of my brow,
and let it form a sacred cross over my
heart: I am u rebel to the government
at Washington, and would thank Heav
en for the hour that -would sweep it
and its occupants into the sea; for the
peace, the hope, the existence of our
people require it.
"The usurpation of Abraham Lin
coln, in every civilized government
upon earth, were our Constitution its
erganic law, would bring his : head io
the.block. and it will do it hetti if our
people but remember the cost ef life
and treasure whereby they were burn
to b free. . . .
"We will perish, our wives and our
fathers with us, and uot & man left to
wet?p over the result, before oae hostile
foot shall rest securely upon our shore.
"By tbe. green fields of promise
around us, and the over-arching heav
en above u; by our homes, our wives,
our children, and the graves .of our
fathers, we swear to hold this country
sacred to human hopes, free from the
breath of infectious fanaticism and
tyrannous usurpation, or perish to a
man." - . -
Isn't this rebel a pretty fellow to be
Secretary of the National Union Club
under whose auspices the Philadelphia
Convention is to be held ?
SO DOUDT.
Julius S. Morion says "we do hope
A.' Johnson will remove Gov.' Saun
ders." No one doubts that, Morton.
The people have refused to give you
the position, however, and you' would
stand a poor show even wiih Andy.
He said something about "Loyal men
governing Tennessee," and ha would
not certainly go back of that in regard
to Nebraska. ' '.
LIBERTY OrjTHE PRESS J
S.TEAL,lifCr MORTO.X.
During our recent great nationa
truggie for the vindication of ihelaws
ofourlandand a perpetuation of those
Heaven given and Providence encircled
principles ' of ' liberty,' freedom and
union, which. form so bright a spot in
the galaxy of our nationality, thert
were a class of newspaper publishers
in our country, whe, confintd in the
narrow limits of their own benighted
and sickly intellects cavity stood con
tinually at the bellows of their own
utile, miserable, contemptible organs.
blowing out what little brains they had
in severe invectives, ciaudou, abuses
and villainous slanders against the ben
encient Lrovernment, at whoso paps
they were then beine nourished and
protected ; and our magnanimous Gov
ernment Laincr neceitated from the
exigency of the case, and that tbe al
ready marvelsusly wide-spread influ
encos of treason should go no further
with its withering and blighting effect? ,
was compelled to siretch forth her
strong and powerful arm and place a
muzzle upon the liitle, filthy mouths of
these contemptible little organ grinders
and treason, .ballows-blowers, and thus
slop their, infamous noise; and this
caused them and their votaries to stand
abashed and horror-stricken over the
thought that the liberty of the press had
been abridged, in that they were net
permitted to talk and act against their
Government in its hour of peril aod
its imminent danger. Now, since peace
and quiet, with the blessings, accruing
from n succesi'-I and triumphant ic
tory over .slavery , and 'treason ;land
that "other very 'recent; gTeat victory
ever 'the copperheads of our ownJfa;r;
Nebraska, ' fac simile ef ron3j of
those liille, raitraU v insignificant or-gan-grindwri,
in the person of . ono J.
Stealing Mortoh',rhas propped himself
up behind one of those tittle toot-horna
of defunct treason, aai because bo fioJrr
that the war his not been a "failure,"
and that lighting againet the Govrn
raenthVs played out; and T that a com
mission as Co:itmander-in-."Juief 0f the
Knights of the Golden Circle, in-and
for; -Nebraska cannot be made ,'very
effective" or remunerative ander - the
present state of things ;' this little eiti
boditnent. ef contumely has gone to
blowing ihrough this little copper toot
horn his virus ef slander- and false,
hood, and through this medium shows
himself up in Lis true light a defaaier
of personal and individual! character,
a vile slanderer, a dealer in low; cun-
nin and a consummate liar. . This is
ie prsps lliiii prginy
in intellect presumes to use. A free
dom the skulking coward would not
have the back-bone to use through any
other medium.' Listen at this lubberly,
over grown boy's bellowings after his
sound thrashing by Gov. Butler. He
eays
"Harwell Spurlock did not slop at
disfranchisiag the peepla of Hock
Bluffs, but sent up a false and fraudu
lent report ou Slate." ;
Now, that is alie, and Morton knows
it ; yet he gives it publicity with as
much assurance as Judas showed when
- . -i . ,
he betrayed his Lord and Matter with
a kiss. Hear him again :
"Burwell Spurlock knows that Cass
county gae a majority against state
of,325, or there-abouts." .
This 325 statement staggered the
gentleman, and probably for the first
time, too, rn his little inglorious career,
upon the statement of what' he '.knew
to be false there-abouU he says ; and
this is just as near the truth as he can
get there-abouts. ;Again he says: '
, "Burwell Spurlock should be prose-:
cuted for his villainies in his office. i
The next Grand Jury of Cass county
should take his case under advisement."
' After this grare advice : to his way
ward Cass county students, he gives,
one more blast on this little copper toot
hcro and says something about "hypo
crite," 'fool;' deal "knave" forming a
trinity'. WellVl presume this is about
as correct on idea tf the .trinity as be
Morton will ever hate. Now this
J. Stealing Morton more familiarly
known to the" citizens of Cass county
in his connection, at early day, with
ihe Morton Cass County College ; an
Institution that Mr. Morton labored
very arduously to .establish, that tbe
dear voters Cass county might be
educated to his liking. But, poor Mor
ton'sCollege isnonest henct, the cause
a of his frequent excursions up Salt river.
Every time Morton starts on a voyage
it makes no difference, in what direc
tion ho may ; art, that old wreck of
tub in which he rides, in-spite of the
very efficient help he received in days
of yore from L Eau qui Court and Ft
Kearney, and more recently the help
ing, hand: he came so very nearly
receiving in Falls City, in spite of al
thia and the untiring efforts f the crew
that accompany him, that eld tub uner
nngly eteer straight up bait river, to
every, disconsolate candidates', home.
where rest and quiet are taken' until
nil the little brass horns of the frater
nity give one grand concerted blast to
make ready for another voyage.
Is Morton a fool? -1 'guess not,
I
as
there are but feyvmore successful voy
agers than he is.
is lUorion a Hypocrite f . 1 presume
not, as he has a certificate which be
carries to prove' his loyalty. " '
Is Morton a knave ? Well, I don't
hardly know,, but rather ihink not, as
he and Vallandigham are intimate
friends.
Is Morton. deceitful? No; because
he is notorious for his false statements,
and never corrects them by telling the
truth.
Is Morion an idiot?. . No, no; what.
the founder of a College an idiot!
Preposterous !
Now the reason of this bellowing of
Morton is quite cbvious. He, like Billy
Patterson, has been struck but a little
unlike Billy, too, as to the manner in
which he was struck- he, Morton, hdviJ
ng'Eeen struck all over." J're'' query
with him is, Vw-fao fftin'. fike me ?''
No wonder this little ox stands to one
aide bellowingfor he,has been gored
and goaded, and finds it of no use to
kick against the pricks.
He has muddled in his own' villain
ous and sickly style' and character of
politics until the scales are so thick. 6a

sis uie treaty or. lenna may once
a . i
more be made the stalking horse of
Bonopar'.iet a in bi lion it may be interest
ing to the general reader who is more
irariitid in present politics than in past
history to be reminded what that fam
ous treaty really was. Ia the first
plase, it was signed by a larger num
ber of States than had ever before
united in a settlement of European
attoirs, including Austria, France, Eng
land, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Portu
gal and Sweden. Coming almost im
mediately after the widespread shatter
ing ol old lanJmar.:s consequent upon
French conquests the arrangement of
territories amounted almost to a recon
strucuon. it) is reconstruction was
b&sed almost exclusively on dynastic
considerations, me real wei.'are of ihe
nations and the tendencies of what are
no iv called ''nationalities" Icing scarce
ly thought of. Everywhere nations, tir
fragment, of cations, placed under for
eign sovereignties.
England's gain, indeed, was fully
equalled by her loss in the new plan.
She kept Malta, which was essential
to her position in the Mediterranean,
and where her rule was not unwelcome;
for the sak of Europe generally she
undertook ihe protectorate of the Ionan
Islands,, cow got rid of ; and to satisfy
royal prejudices she also preserved the
kingdom ox Hanover, now also got
rid of.
In Italy, Milnn and Venice were
given to Austria, and baruima was
confirmed to Piedmont ; while the
D'i.ijhics a ,uicaoyt Parma-Jiladstjsr
-aud Fiaeenlla were recognized as sham
independent sovereignties.'gdverned by
collatteral branches of the; A u strain
Hapsburg. Austria still further obtain
ed possession of tbe Tyrol, Illyria and
Dilmatia. , , "
Prussia's gains' were enormous, and,
uclike many' of the Austrian, were
acquisitions of ' real power.: With half
of baxony, nearly all v estphalia, Swe
dish, Pomerania, . aod almost all the
Lower Rhine provinces, she started
afresh as a rival of Austria, far more
fermiable'than before. " r-'. .1 -
In the north of .Europe Russia .'re
ceived Finland from Sweden; as a
compensation,, for . which, S weden tre
ctlved Norway, which was taken from
Danif.ark; and Denmark; who was not
represented at the Congress, got noth
ing; in return.
As to Poland, the three great parti
tioned made seine fresh rectification of
boundaries"' :: " :' :
i The innumerable small German Stales
which had existed before, the French
revolution, and which had been what
diplomatists called mediatized, or, as
plain people call it, swamped, at. the
setting up. of the iBoaapartisl Confed
eration of the Rhine these remained
s way pjv d u p y rrfviiut neign-
t'ors.
Holland, having ceded her German
possessions, was consoled with the Bel
gic provinces and became a kingdom,
and Switzerland remains much as be
fore. In the same, year, 1815, political
Pharisaism accomplished .its master
piecs, ihe "Holy Alliance" between
Austria, Russia and Prtftsia, by which
they bound themselves to act for the
future on Christian principles only, and
immediately proceeded to enforce the
absolute supremacy of kings as the one
great . principle ef Christianity. All
Europa acquieiced in the announce
ment, with three notable exceptions
ihe Sultan, whose opionion was not
osk?d, and England and the Pope, who
both declined ts havs anything to do
with the imposture. ,
Tlie Prisoners of tlie Dry Tor
i . . tugas. .
A person named .William While, of
Henrico, Virginia, .recently, released
by pardon from the Dry 'Tortngas,
wh8re he had been sent" under convic
tion of being a rebel spy, during the
war, lias arrived in Memphis. The
Memphis Appeal says :
Mr. White was for a time room
mate of Mr. Mudd, who was sentenced
to hard labor for life in the Dry Tot
tugas for alleged aiding in -Wilkes
Booth's escape after the murder of
Mr. Lincoln. The Doctor's health is
rapidly failing, and Mr. White believes
he will not live through the summer.
Spanjler and Arnold are quite well,
and even their confinement does - uot
seem very seriously to affect their gen
eral physical or mental well, being.
The State prisoners are compelled to
rise nt 5 a.m.; after breakfast, at-7,
go out to work, are employed ia cutting
and carrying stone to build the fort un
til 12 o'clock, when one hour's inter
mission is allowed, the work being re
sumed at 1 p. m , and continued until
5 o'elock. ' On rainy days no work is
required. The same ration issued to
the United States soldiers is distributed
to the prisoners, and, though coarse, is
abundant and wholesome in quality.
He represents the Island as sterile and
depressing in appearance, but as cooled
by refreshing sea breezes, snJ the con
densed water used is palatable
and j
healthy. He further says a marked
improvement in the treatment of the
prisoners, has been instituted by the
officers of the Tenth United Slates
regular infaniry, who relieved 'the
former carrison of necro soldiers.
When the news cf the fall of Richmond
arrived, an issue of whiskey to "a
hands" was made in honor of the event
and the prisoners were liberally inclu
ded, but, though many of them had
been for a lone time deprived of the
luxury; five of ihe number, including
Mr. W., refused to touch it, or enjoy
the holiday also granted to all the Is-
and, in celebration of such a signal
triumph of the Union arms. The pns

to obtain Havanna cigars and tropica
fruits from the neighboring islani of

...'.rTIIE TWO VOICES. .
When Guttenburg, the first printer,
was working in his cell in the monaster!
of. St. Aborsgot,- he tells that, he heard
two voices address him.' . The one badr
hira desisi told him the power his In
vention would put in the. hands of bad
men to. propagate. ..their wickedness;
told him how men, would profane the
art he had created, and how posterity
would have cause to curse the man who
gave it to . tne, world, bo impressed
was Ciottenburg with what he heard,
that he took a. hammer, and broke to
pieceii the types he had so laborously
put tcgether., His work of destruction

E1" Concerning the President's
contemplated trip to tbe Northwest, the
Chicago TViownesays: "We shall re
joice at the President's visit to us, and
shall admire the propriety and dignity
of the act as an appropriate expression,
through its Chief Magistrate, of the
Nation's respect for the memory of
Douglati. But w beg the President
not to mix with funeral honors to Doug
las a purely political job for himself or
for Docliiile. It has been generally
slated that the Presidential party, after
laying the corner none of the Douglas
monument, will continue on an elec
tioneering tour to save Doolittle from
the wrath of ihe Wisconsin, and to
inaugurate in the West, the new Tyler
party. This is like holding an Irish
wake, or playing euchre on the way
home from a funeral."
IIST The Zanesville Courier relates
this anecdote of Sherman :
In conversation with a number of
officers at his headquarters in the fall
of 18S4, the Presidential election was
touched upon, when some of the num
ber addressed Gen. Sherman with:
."General, who will you vote for ?''
. - "I shall vote for neither."
VNot vote! That is very strange."
"I'll tell you why," replied the Gen
eral; "I never voted but onee, and then
I disfranchised myself"
Such looks of wonder and incredu
lity as this produced may be imagined,
but the General, paying no attsntion,
thereto, proceeded : ..m
"I never voted for a President but
once in my life; and that was for Bu
chanan, and I am since satisfied that
any person who was d d fool enough
to do that, has not sense enough to ex
ercise the elective franchise. I dis
franchised any self, and consequently
ah all not vote.

La Presse, of the 7ih, says:
"The cession of Venetia to France
is complete and definite, and without
any other condition on the part of Aus
tria, except to withdraw all arms, guns
and munitions of war to be found in
fortified places, within forty-eight hours.
Ihe whole of Venetia will be French
territory, and it will depend upon the
good will of France to keep er part
with it. The Italian Government will
therefore have to cease immediately
every act of hostility against Venetia,
it being French territory. The French
Commissioner is going at once to Ven
ice t) assume its government in the
name of the Empire.".
Gen. Garibaldi's headqunrters are
at Lenatoa. He had about 50,000 men
under his command. They are not
completely equipped, but are armed and
have plenty munitions.
Owing to the appearance of Gen.
Garabaldi, war is likely to assume a
peculiar character.
